Jon Landau proposed to film the romance of the Three Kingdoms, which was completely unexpected to boss Jia.
This matter has not been done in previous lives, and this generation of boss Jia has not taken the initiative to do it. It is what Jon Landau, a foreigner, took the initiative to do. It is precisely because of this, so it has a particularly different meaning for boss Jia.
Because this time, Jon Landau took the initiative to discover the treasure of the romance of the Three Kingdoms, and then offered to shoot the romance of the Three Kingdoms. This meaning is completely different.
This shows that Chinese culture has spread at a different speed all over the world.
Some people may think that boss Jia is amorous. Jon Landau's watching the romance of the Three Kingdoms is influenced by boss Jia. As a Chinese, boss Jia will certainly support the shooting of the romance of the Three Kingdoms, so Jon Landau will put forward this matter. If you change your boss, this kind of thing will be impossible, so it's not Jon Landau's initiative, Just to please boss Jia.
It's right to say so, but Jon Landau did something he had never done in his previous life. Boss Jia himself is an anomaly in the world, so all these are essentially the same, which makes boss Jia feel a little happy in his heart.
It makes sense that after the assets have exceeded the barrier of hundreds of millions of dollars, the pleasure that money can bring is actually not much for boss Jia. After all, the life and enjoyment of one billion dollars and one hundred million dollars are almost the same.
Boss Jia began to pursue things other than money, such as how to operate and develop a country, a civilization and a nation. For boss Jia, it has begun to gradually replace the pleasure brought by money.
It is also a great pleasure for boss Jia to watch the gradual rise and influence of Chinese culture in the world.
"How are you going to shoot?" boss Jia certainly can't refuse Jon Landau's suggestion. In fact, even if Jon Landau doesn't say it, boss Jia will put the romance of the Three Kingdoms on the big screen in a few years.
However, there is an essential difference between the proposal put forward by the Americans and that put forward by boss Jia.
However, boss Jia is still worried about how foreigners will deal with and shoot the romance of the Three Kingdoms. In another world, foreigners have not had cases of putting Chinese traditional classics on the big screen, the most famous of which is Hua Mulan, but the final result is self-evident.
Although it is called restoring makeup and history, it is actually a pile of shit.
So boss Jia also wants to see what Jon Landau's plan is.
"I'm going to shoot in three parts!" Jon Landau said, and the first sentence made boss Jia nod.
What a huge story system the romance of the Three Kingdoms is. How can such a story be shot with only one film.
After all, novels like the Lord of the rings, which are actually very weak compared with stories, have also made six episodes, and nine stories like star wars, which can be told in an hour.
The romance of the Three Kingdoms, let alone three, even if six or nine, that's enough.
Just a red cliff can make a big movie.
However, like John Woo in later generations, it is a little more to make Chibi into two films, and the adaptation of Chibi's script is really inexhaustible, which is completely a nightmare.
The only memory left of an unprecedented war in history is Mengmeng, which is no one.
"Be specific!" boss Jia said.
"I'm going to start shooting from the part of 18 great Knights attacking the Duke of Xiliang!" Jon Landau said.
"18 great Knights attacked the Duke of Xiliang?" Jon Landau's words made boss Jia's expression very strange. It was a big joke to tell a Chinese.
But this is the easiest thing for westerners to understand. After all, Westerners don't understand the political system of the Han Dynasty, and Jon Landau's translation of the romance of the Three Kingdoms.
At present, the translated versions of the romance of the Three Kingdoms can be found in the West. They are all translated by foreigners who like the romance of the Three Kingdoms. In order to reduce the difficulty of translation and make it easier for foreign readers to understand the meaning, these translators use a lot of western culture to replace it.
For example, when the 18th route princes asked for Dong Zhuo, they translated the 18 princes into 18 knights, and because Dong Zhuo was declared public by the imperial court, he was translated into a duke.
There is nothing wrong with this translation in the eyes of Westerners, because in the west, knights actually have their own territory, which is equivalent to the lowest level of nobility. In fact, most of the 18th princes in history only have official positions and no titles. They can't even count as nobility. Translating them into Knights can be regarded as raising their ranks.
But the problem is that in the view of Chinese people, there is something wrong with this translation. The 18 Knights' crusade against the Duke of Xiliang is like the boss war of the Duke by 18 people, or the mowing of grass by 18 knights, which will make people very speechless.
Thinking of this, boss Jia couldn't help but give birth to the idea of translating the four famous works again and then promoting them to the world. The current translation is really fucked.
"Why don't you start shooting from the yellow scarf rebellion?" boss Jia thought a lot of things in his head, but didn't stop Jon Landau. After all, it's not Jon Landau's fault, but asked in reverse.
"Because there's nothing to shoot in this story!" Jon Landau said, touching his head "These plots are relatively dry, and they are too separated from the later plots. I don't think it's a good idea to shoot them. If they are taken directly from the eighteen knights to ask the Duke, the war scene will be grand, and can directly enter the climax stage. The yellow scarf rebellion only needs to be roughly described in the first few minutes!" Jon Landau.
In fact, Jon Landau's words are not unreasonable. In the eyes of many professionals, the yellow scarf riots in the three countries are actually not worth shooting.
For example, in the CCTV version of the romance of the Three Kingdoms, although the chaos of the yellow scarf was filmed, there was only one episode in total, and most of them were still concentrated on the Taoyuan settlement. The war scenes of the yellow scarf flashed by, and Zhang Jiao and others only appeared and put on a p0ss, which was similar to the story of the process.
As for later Xixi Gao as like as two peas in the eighteen kingdoms, Dong Zhuo was just like Jon Landau.
Therefore, there is no problem with Jon Landau's idea, but our boss Jia shook his head and said, "the yellow scarf chaos must be made, and great efforts must be invested to make it, even the best film in the whole series!"
