Chapter 1268

"Why?" Jon Landau looked at our boss Jia in surprise. He didn't understand why boss Jia had to shoot the plot of the yellow scarf rebellion.

"Mr. Landau, what kind of film do you think is the easiest to win the box office in the film world!" boss Jia suddenly asked.

"Nature is a film that attracts the audience and then causes the audience to empathize!" Jon Landau said after thinking for a while.

"Mr. Landau, I'm really lucky to get the help of people like you!" boss Jia couldn't help sighing. "Yes, I think so, too."

"So do you think we can really immerse the audience and feel it at the beginning by directly showing all the audience a huge empire, a boss war of 18 princes, and then determining the war of an era?" boss Jia asked with a smile.

Jon Landau stopped talking.

"No, it will never be so. The audience will only feel confused. They will not understand what kind of country the Great Han Empire is, what happened in this country, and what the 18 princes do."

"They may see a magnificent super ancient war scene in which hundreds of thousands of people were killed. But what about this? They don't understand what happened and why these people fought. Even the exciting classic picture of the three British war Lv Bu is just three people fighting one. What's exciting about this?"

Boss Jia's series of questions made Jon Landau completely stupid. He didn't know how to answer boss Jia's questions.

In fact, for China, Jon Landau's proposal to ask Dong Zhuo to shoot directly from the 18th princes does not have any problem, because Chinese people are very familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, and they do not need any films to help them popularize the films of the Three Kingdoms.

For Chinese audiences, what they want to see is actually a magnificent war scene. Seeing the exciting scene of the three British war against Lv Bu, there is no problem not only asking Dong Zhuo from the 18th route princes to shoot, but even shooting Chibi directly.

However, if the film wants to be released globally, it will have a problem, because audiences all over the world do not know what the three kingdoms were divided in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. They are at a loss when they directly see these plots and do not know what they are talking about.

More importantly, they have no sense of substitution at all. After all, it is impossible for you to expect a foreigner to directly bring it into Chinese history.

There are too many examples of such failed films.

The most famous are the hero of Lao Mou Zi and the Great Wall. Although these two films are all Chinese stories, they are also ignorant stories of Chinese people.

The protagonist of the Great Wall is a foreigner. The protagonist of the hero is a person who has never been heard of in history. Moreover, the story itself is thin and exaggerated, which is completely pulling the crotch.

"When describing a new story and film, the best way is to start with a character, start with a small person, and slowly show and describe the story and background of the whole era!" boss Jia said with a smile.

"In fact, the ancients have long understood this according to us. When Luo Guanzhong wrote the romance of the Three Kingdoms, didn't he start with the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang?"

"Through the three bonds of friendship in Taoyuan, they slowly opened the prelude from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period!"

"This gives us the best model. At the beginning of our film, we should also focus on the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, especially Liu Bei!"

"So I think the film at the beginning should show Liu Bei's daily life in the period of poverty! The time should not be too long. It should be controlled in about five minutes. Liu Bei's character of living in poverty and selling straw sandals for a living, but he is ambitious, strategic, always eager to save the world, the country and the world, and benevolence and righteousness first!"

"At the same time, we should also reflect the rural life in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Here we can show the natural scenery, architectural characteristics, character clothes and other characteristics very different from those in the west, trying to catch the attention of the audience through these things."

"We want to use these five minutes to let all the audience first enter the era of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty!"

"After that, we can let the yellow scarf force come on stage."

"We can design a plot to let Huang Jin attack Liu Bei's village. A large number of villagers and landlords died miserably in the hands of the Huang Jin army. They also wanted to coerce the villagers to attack the state city. Finally, Liu Bei appeared as the Savior, defeating these Huang Jin armies with powerful Chinese Kung Fu on the one hand, and leading the villagers to resist with strategies and tactics on the other Steal. "

"Therefore, Liu Bei hated the yellow scarf army and set his ambition to annihilate the yellow scarf army, help the world and return peace to the world, so he went to the county and planned to join the army!"

"This is the first part of the whole film. The time is controlled at about 30 minutes. You can design the specific details yourself, but shaping the characters is the most important. We must create a perfect Liu Bei in line with the values of benevolence and righteousness heroes!" boss Jia talked slowly and stunned Jon Landau on one side.

It's not that boss Jia said bad, but that boss Jia said too thoroughly. He directly analyzed the plot of a film. He told Jon Landau how to design a perfect film beginning like a public announcement.

"What's next?" Jon Landau couldn't help asking.

"Next is one of the biggest climaxes of the romance of the Three Kingdoms. Taoyuan three became friends!" boss Jia smiled. "But here we can make some changes to the plot in the novel!"

"In the novel, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei met each other after seeing the recruitment notice, then talked freely, and finally became brothers directly!"

"Such a plot has no problem in the novel, but it is not very brilliant in the film. At the same time, it is difficult to play the role of climax."

"So we can make a change here. Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did meet at the gate of the city, but they made a misunderstanding. You should make up the misunderstanding yourself. Anyway, it's reasonable to make it up. Finally, the three people were very unhappy. They didn't like each other. At the same time, there was a certain battle scene. We should find a way to show their force."

"At this time, the yellow scarf army came to attack the county. Zhang Fei was a big family. His home was outside the city and became the target of the yellow scarf army. The yellow scarf army killed Zhang Fei's relatives, so Zhang Fei decided to lead his servants and yellow scarf to fight to the death!"

"In the process of fighting, although Zhang Fei was brave and invincible, he was outnumbered after all. He saw that his whole family was about to die in the hands of the yellow scarf army, but at the critical moment, Guan Yu and Liu Bei, who solved the misunderstanding, killed them alone, so the three fought side by side!"

"A very gorgeous and bloody battle scene can be designed here. For example, 500 yellow scarf soldiers beat the three brothers Liu Guanzhang, but the last three brothers worked together to kill all the 500 yellow scarf soldiers with 3 enemies and no injury to themselves. They won a hearty victory and a great reputation!"

"The fierce battle also made Zhang Fei and Guan Yu understand that there would be no peace in the whole world if the yellow scarf army was not destroyed. So they worshipped Liu Bei as their eldest brother. They worshipped incense in the peach blossom garden, set up a case, and tied the knot in front of the gods. From then on, they became the three brothers who shared life and death and became famous all over the world. Then Zhang Fei took out all his family property and servants, recruited troops and horses, and trained them A force of 500 people came out! "

"This plot needs to be shot carefully, which mainly reflects the cruelty of the yellow scarf army, Zhang Fei's money and force, Guan Yu's character and force, and Liu Bei's wisdom and benevolence, so as to further shape the characters of the three protagonists."

"Don't be stingy with time. You can give about 60 minutes to show. This is the key moment to shape the characters. We must shape them perfectly and make them loved and empathized by the audience!"
