Chapter 299: I Know Why Zhang Yi Didn¡¯t Make "Zhu Xian" (Part 2) When Zhang Yi's version of "The Great Desolation" was created, it was for movies. Many settings in it serve the movie, and the novel also gives people a sense of picture. Anyone who reads the novel can't help but imagine a "prehistoric" scene of his own in his mind. The first part of "Prehistoric", "The Lich Tribulation of Prehistoric", involves many ancient Chinese myths and legends. For example: Pangu opened the sky, Hongjun preached, Nuwa made humans from clay, Kuafu chased the sun, Houyi shot the sun, Chang'e ascended, Gonggong touched Mount Buzhou in anger, Nuwa mended the sky, etc., and even Wu Gang felled a tree , Jade Rabbit, Guanghan Palace and so on. Moreover, it is said that these legends are connected to everything, forming a complete storyline. The story is logical and gives people the illusion of enlightenment after reading it. So that¡¯s what it¡¯s like! Throughout the novel, the relationship between Hou Yi and Chang'e is the main line, involving many legends. The book describes in detail the differences between the lich before and after his transformation, laying the foundation for future filming into movies. "You're interested in Zhang Yi's novel again, right?" Shi Nansheng said to Xu Ke, who was working on "The Great Desolation". "What's the point of looking at it? No one can get the copyright of this novel from Zhang Yi." Xu Ke said with a bitter smile, "I know now, then why doesn't Zhang Yi make "Zhu Xian"!" " You mean, Zhang Yi might change this novel into a movie?" Shi Nansheng looked at Xu Ke and asked immediately. Although she knew Xu Ke was interested in this novel, she didn't want to rate it so highly. The meaning of Xu Ke's words is that Zhang Yi did not film "Zhu Xian" because he wanted to film "The Great Desolation"! "It's not a possibility. It's a certainty. The style of this novel is very similar to "Resident Evil" and "Jurassic Park", and it presents a strong visual sense. It's like a novel changed by a script." Xu Ke put down the newspaper , then shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about who is better or worse between this novel and "Zhu Xian"? Let's not talk about who is better and who is worse when it is changed into a movie. But when "The Great Desolate" is made into a movie, it is definitely better visually than "Zhu Xian" "Shocking, and although it is an Eastern mythology, it is definitely more in line with Western tastes than "Zhu Xian". Especially the transformation of the lich is a highlight. In the West, there is a legend of the transformation of a werewolf. If a movie is made, the transformation of the lich will definitely be understood by Westerners. But "Zhu Xian" is different. "It's not a novel. Is it just for the Western market?" Shi Nansheng asked Xu Ke. Then he said. "He is a genius. He presents ancient Chinese legends in a way that Westerners can understand. No wonder he has achieved such amazing box office results in the world of film. His grasp of Western audiences is feared among Chinese No one can match it," Xu Ke said with a sigh. "Can this novel really be compared with "Zhu Xian"? "Zhu Xian" can be hailed as a classic among Zhang Yi's novels, especially in terms of love writing, it is even more amazing." Shi Nansheng asked curiously. She also watched Zhang Yi's new film, but she didn't study it as deeply as Xu Ke, nor did she follow it as much as Xu Ke did. "Haha, the love story of "Ancient Wilderness" is definitely not inferior to "Zhu Xian". Hou Yi died in today's series, but he saved Chang'e by cutting down the osmanthus tree. And Chang'e spent time with him day and night, but she didn't know that Wu Gang was Hou Yi. Today's series of series A few chapters, I don¡¯t know how many people were moved to tears. Hehe, when Zhang Yi wrote "Zhu Xian", he wrote Baguio to death, and many fans went to the newspaper to make trouble for a while. Many book fans are going to the newspaper office to make a fuss." Xu Ke said, laughing as if he was gloating about his misfortune. "You have confused me." Shi Nansheng listened to Xu Ke's words and said doubtfully, "Houyi cut down the osmanthus tree to save Chang'e? Wu Gang is Houyi? What is this?" "Hehe. This is the first novel in this novel. There are many ancient Chinese myths and stories, and Zhang Yi actually connected them to everything, and the logic is very strong. It seems absurd, but there is no flaw. After reading it, you will have a feeling that things should be as they are. Like this." Xu Ke said with some admiration. Shi Nansheng still looked at Xu Ke doubtfully. "Let me give you an example. In Zhang Yi's novel, the hero Hou Yi rescued the beauty and saved Chang'e. But when he rescued her, he shot Kunpeng's son to death, and Kunpeng was the demon master, that is, the son of the demon emperor. Teacher. This teacher was unable to avenge his son, so he instigated his students, which led to the legend of Ten Suns in the Sky, which naturally led to Kuafu chasing the sun. After he died, Hou Yi shot at the sun, which led to a battle between the lich and the demons, Gonggong's anger at Buzhou Mountain, Nuwa's patching up of the sky, and so on. Perfect." Xu Ke said, a little excited. "You're like this? said, talking about all my interests. "Shi Nansheng smiled when he heard it and said. "This is not a novel, it is definitely worth reading. This is the first one, and it can be seen from some of his previous descriptions that in this novel, he will sort out the entire Chinese mythology system. It is very possible to connect those Chinese myths and stories together. "Xu Ke smiled and said, "I'm actually very curious. " "This is not a novel. I read some of the previous ones. It would probably be difficult to make it into a movie. Not to mention his special effects technology, even his investment will be an astronomical figure. Shi Nansheng thought for a while and then said, "Do you think Zhang Yi will really make this novel into a movie?" " "Special effects technology is developing rapidly now, so this is not a problem at all. As for the investment, do you think Zhang Yi will not be able to come up with the money now? He now makes movies without considering the cost. I just bought a film company in the United States and I dare to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to make a movie. The result was a huge profit. And now, hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested in filming "Jurassic Park." Moreover, I have some doubts whether his filming of "Jurassic Park" is preheating for "Zhu Xian". ""Jurassic Park" does not require his investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. Even if that money does not include the money for the island he bought in the Maldives, it probably also includes the money for building a dinosaur theme park. The production cost of "Jurassic Park" is estimated to be only fifty to sixty million US dollars. "Shi Nansheng said immediately. "A movie actually comes with travel, toys, games, etc. Perhaps only Zhang Yi's movies can do that. "Xu Ke said immediately. "You seem to have high confidence in his new film. If the movie is good, everything is good. If the movie fails, all the accompanying stuff will be at a huge loss. Shi Nansheng nodded and then said, "Where does he get this confidence?" " "Do you think his "Jurassic Park" will be a failure? "Xu Xiao smiled and said, "If he slaps it badly, he will no longer be Zhang Yi. " "Who can guarantee that the movies they make will always be popular? "Shi Nansheng said. "He Zhang Yi can do it. "Xu Ke said. Shi Nansheng also had to admit that Zhang Yi did not have a failed work, or a movie that lost money. "Are you planning to find him to film "Zhu Xian"? Mr. Lin had already committed to investing in the film last time. "Shi Nansheng suddenly thought of something and said immediately. "He acquired New Art City and changed its name to Media Asia, hoping to build the reputation of the film company. But besides him, who else is willing to invest in this movie? "Xu Ke said. Because of the emergence of Zhang Yi, Xinyi City was disbanded in advance and was acquired by Lin Jianyue, who returned from the United States with the help of his family. "Why don't you ask Zhang Yi again. Nowadays, special effects technology may not necessarily meet the requirements he thinks, otherwise he would not have filmed "Jurassic Park." " Shi Nansheng said immediately. Xu Ke nodded after hearing this. "Zhang Yi's "Ancient Wilderness" has aroused great heated discussion since it was serialized, especially because he connected many Chinese myths and legends together, but it was very logical and gave everyone Shocked. However, Zhang Yi didn¡¯t pay too much attention to these things. He only knew that his novel had once again increased the sales of Ming Pao. At this time, he spent his energy on "Jurassic". "Park" is a film that he plans to completely open up the European and American markets.
