    Chapter 125: How about cooperating to remake a movie?  In a private room of a teahouse, Zhang Yi and Zhou Huimin sat across from Xu Ke and his wife.  "I heard from Director Wu that Mr. Xu is interested in the novel I am serializing in Ming Pao?" Zhang Yi said straight to the point.  "Yes! Judging from the plot and characters of "Zhu Xian", it is more adaptable than "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" by Huanzhu Louzhu. Therefore, I want to adapt "Zhu Xian" into a movie. I don't know Mr. Zhang?" Xu Ke clicked  He nodded and then said with some anxiety.  "With all due respect, I am afraid that the current special effects technology cannot produce the ideal effect." Zhang Yi looked at Xu Ke and then said, "Special effects movies are expensive movies. If the ideal effect cannot be produced,  It's very likely that it will be a hit. If you really want to film "Zhu Xian", the cost will definitely be high. "Mr. Zhang doesn't seem to be optimistic about the market for adapting "Zhu Xian" now," Shi Nansheng said with a smile.  "Mr. Zhang also knows that your novel has become popular throughout Hong Kong. After the physical book is released, it will definitely become popular throughout Southeast Asia. With the influence of the novel and Mr. Zhang's fame, I think that after it is adapted into a movie, there will be many  People are willing to pay to go to the theater to watch it. As for what Mr. Zhang said, today¡¯s special effects technology can¡¯t produce ideal effects, but now the audience¡¯s requirements for movie special effects are not very high.¡±  It must meet the most ideal requirements. No matter whether the audience's requirements are strict or not," Zhang Yi waved his hand and said, "Besides, "Zhu Xian" is very oriental. I'm afraid only I can understand the swordsmanship in it, but those ghost guys don't.  . If you can't visually shock those ghosts, failure is inevitable. It's not the right time to film "Zhu Xian"." Xu Ke seemed to want to say something again, but Zhang Yi raised his hand to stop it, and then said: "I am.  In fact, we can guess that Mr. Xu is eager to make a movie with a theme like "Zhu Xian". He just wants to find a way to make a special effects film in the East, but if he takes this path too hastily, it may lead to failure.  Once it fails, this road is likely to be blocked. ""Oriental culture will not be familiar to Western audiences. Their understanding of the East and China may only accept Kung Fu movies.  Backing. As for Hong Kong? If the investment is larger, it will have to rely on the Southeast Asian market. If it is not accepted by European and American audiences, there will be no possibility of recovering the cost, and no one will dare to film in the future.  Such a movie? Isn¡¯t this road closed? So we must be cautious!¡± Xu Ke obviously knew that filming ¡°Zhu Xian¡± was impossible.  Zhang Yi is not optimistic about filming "Zhu Xian" now. Even if he gets the film rights of "Zhu Xian", he probably won't be able to find the funds to film it.  "If "Zhu Xian" wants to produce good results, even if the results are not ideal, it will definitely require a large investment.  Not to mention making money, even if you want to recover the cost, it is probably not easy.  Xu Ke understood that Zhang Yi had said so much just because he was afraid that he would kill this subject.  Zhang Yi knew that in the parallel world, after the success of "Mr. Zombie", countless follow-up works appeared in a short period of time, but none of them were as successful as "Mr. Zombie".  The zombie theme was also shot to death immediately.  Whoever takes the photo will pay.  "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" has scared off a lot of people by making money at a loss.  If Zhang Yi's "Zhu Xian" is adapted into a movie, if this is still the case, it is estimated that no one will dare to make such movies again.  Even if there is a film called "Not Afraid of Death", two consecutive large-scale films of this type have failed to materialize, and the audience has become resistant, which naturally leads to the box office appeal of this type of film.  "Of course, if Mr. Xu is really that interested in this kind of subject matter, when the time is right, it would not be a bad idea to give the copyright of "Zhu Xian" to Mr. Xu." Seeing Xu Ke's expression, Zhang Yi smiled and said  .  "Really?" When Xu Ke heard this, he looked at Zhang Yi in surprise.  This seems to be a bit of a twist.  "Of course! What I, Zhang Yi, have said, of course stand true. Besides, I am not very interested in movies with this theme. And if you want to put "Zhu Xian" on the screen, Mr. Xu is undoubtedly the best candidate." Zhang Yi said.  After all, Xu Ke has experience in filming "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman".  Although, in a parallel space, Xu Ke later filmed "Shu Mountain" and also suffered a huge loss.  But no one can deny that among many directors, he is indeed the most suitable.  "Then thank you Mr. Zhang." Xu Ke said with a smile.  "Mr. Xu, do you have any plans recently? I heard that Mr. Xu has established his own film studio?" Zhang Yi suddenly asked.  When Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up and they looked at Zhang Yi.  "If not, I have an idea. Is Mr. Xu interested?" Zhang Yi continued.   "Oh? Mr. Zhang, please tell me!" Xu Ke said quickly after hearing this.  "Mr. Xu must also know that "A Better Tomorrow" is a remake of the movie of the same name directed by Chen Gang. Now, I want to remake another movie." Zhang Yi smiled and said.  "What movie?" Xu Ke asked curiously.  ""A Chinese Ghost Story" directed by Li Hanxiang!" Zhang Yi said with a smile.  ""A Chinese Ghost Story"!" Xu Ke said with some surprise.  Li Hanxiang's "A Chinese Ghost Story" is an extremely classic. If it were to be remade without surpassing it, I'm afraid it would be scolded.  Zhang Yi nodded and then said: "If Mr. Xu is interested, I will give you the script in a few days. As for the investment, there is no need to worry." "Haha, I don't have any director who can write Mr. Zhang's script now.  Not interested." Shi Nansheng pulled Xuke, and Xuke responded immediately.  "Ayi, why don't you film "Zhu Xian" yourself? Are you really not interested in that kind of subject?" Zhou Huimin asked on the way back.  She likes the novel "Zhu Xian" very much, and especially likes the character Baguio.  Therefore, from her heart, she prefers Zhang Yi to shoot it in person.  "Haha, if Xu Ke wants to make it, let him do it. If I want to make this type of movie, I won't make "Zhu Xian"!" Zhang Yi smiled and said.  "If you don't film "Zhu Xian", what will you film?" Zhou Huimin asked.  "Honghuang!" Zhang Yi said lightly.  At this time, Zhang Yi became less and less interested in plagiarized movies.  Of course, if it's Hollywood, that's a different story.  Zhang Yi is naturally happy to plagiarize Hollywood's most popular movies and give Hollywood a headache.  Even if there are no good Hollywood movies to shoot, Zhang Yi will not have any psychological burden.  If all the classic Hollywood movies of later generations can be put with his own imprint, Zhang Yi feels that he will be reborn through time travel in vain.  If it were a fantasy movie with oriental colors, "Zhu Xian" might not be bad, but Zhang Yi felt it was not enough.  It has not yet achieved an epic effect.  And the prehistoric world is undoubtedly a good choice.  "Honghuang?" Zhou Huimin looked at Zhang Yi with some confusion.  "In the prehistoric period, there was a war between lich and witches!" Zhang Yi then said with a smile.  If the Lich War is really filmed, it may be more acceptable to the Western world than "Zhu Xian".  After all, whether they are witches or monsters, they are simply mythical versions of monsters.  Monster movies are acceptable to the Western market, so mythical monster movies must be easier to accept, at least easier to accept than movies like "Zhu Xian".  At least, that¡¯s what Zhang Yi thinks.  The ancestral witches and great witches of the witch clan.  The demon clan has two demon emperors and each demon god.  Set them into human form and transform into human form.  Think about their transformation, which is very visual.  And in comparison, the werewolf transformation and Hulk transformation in the West are absolutely weak in the face of these lich transformations.  ¡°Moreover, the lich battle inside does not require any magic at all. Whether it is a bare-handed fight or a fight with others, the fight can be earth-shattering.  That scene was not only much more shocking than "Zhu Xian", but it was also easier for Eastern and Western audiences to accept it at the same time.  Shoot, you must shoot.  If we make another 3D version, the shocking effect will be unparalleled.  If it were the world's first 3D movie Zhang Yi thought of this, with a strange smile on his face.
