Chapter 855： Black-hearted capitalist

"Ellen, the movie can't completely copy the game's settings."

Walking in the factory of Industrial Light and Magic, Ryan said to Alan Adhan, the president of Blizzard who came here specifically, "This film is derived from novels and games, yes, but if you copy the game, it will only become a disaster. ."

"But in the script..." Alan Adhan was obviously not satisfied with Ryan's script. "The Horde not only became a complete villain, even the final Icecrown Citadel did not participate."

"This is a movie!"

Ryan has the urge to cover his forehead, no wonder some people always say that the tribe is Blizzard’s own son, "The length of the film is limited, it is impossible to cover everything, and the protagonist is Arthas Menethil, and the focus is on the Kingdom of Lordaeron. With the story of the undead from the natural disasters, it is impossible for us to take a long time to shape the characters of the tribe."

"Ok."

In fact, Alan Adhan also knows that he is nothing more than a layman for movies, but he is not reconciled to the tribes just making soy sauce.

Even if Alan Adhan came to Industrial Light and Magic to see him in person, Ryan would not change his mind, as he said, movies cannot be like novels and games, with so many heroes in one brain. The protagonist of this film is Alsace, and the supporting role besides the protagonist is also mainly used to shape the people around Alsace.

Instead of letting the fully facialized tribe come out to make soy sauce, it's better to simply serve as the background.

{Long + wind

"Ellen, this is just the beginning of the movie."

When entering the prop warehouse, Ryan continued to say to him, "If the trilogy can be successful, we can completely make it into a series like "X-Men". Tribes, alliances, and even those centrists can all be done. Continue to derive."

"If the trilogy can be successful," Alan Adhan said quickly, "I really hope Thrall will be on the big screen."

Sure enough, the tribe is the son of Blizzard.

Hear what the other person said. Ryan can only sigh in this way, but these are future things. If the current trilogy fails to succeed, the so-called extension is just a delusion.

"These are all props designed by Industrial Light & Magic for the movie."

The huge warehouse was filled with swords, armor, and even some'skeleton racks'. Ryan pointed casually, "Allen, you can look around. Most of the designs are borrowed from the weapons in the game, but not so. Cumbersome."

Those magnificent messy weapons can appear in the game. But appearing in the movie is a disaster. The designers of Industrial Light and Magic have kept the characteristics of the game props and simplified it to a certain extent to make it look more like a combat weapon, rather than gorgeous. Decorations.

"Hi, Nat."

Let the Industrial Light and Magic people accompany Alan Adhan, Ryan walked directly to the innermost part of the warehouse and found Natalie who was checking the props. "how are you feeling?"

"Well, not bad." Natalie put down the Helm of Domination in her hand, "Seeing these props, here is mine..."

She pointed to her forehead. "A lot of pictures were automatically generated."

"How's your draft of the shot?" Ryan took his weapon from the shelf and tried the weight. Although it was not very heavy, it didn't feel light and light. "Do you need my help?"

Natalie shook her head, "Don't worry, it won't delay the start of the movie."

The preparatory period for the film is as long as six months. Whether it is Natalie as the director or Industrial Light & Magic who has contracted special effects, it takes time to prepare for the filming.

This is a super giant production cost as high as 150 million US dollars, not a small production that invests tens of millions or even millions of dollars.

Although the success of the game movie is very rare, Disney has prepared a huge amount of money for this movie.

Swiping the power of Menethil in his hand, Ryan put it back, and then picked up Frostmourne from the other side. It was made of aluminum alloy, and the weight was far less heavy than it seemed.

Of course, this is only a concept version, after all, the sword will not appear in the first part of the film.

The current Industrial Light and Magic is completely owned by Walt Disney. Although its profitability can only be regarded as mediocre, it is an indispensable and even a key part of film production. After the acquisition of Lucasfilm, it also made up for it. With the last shortcoming of the entire group, future Disney films can be produced and sold on their own.

This time, Ryan and Natalie were to check the preparatory progress of Industrial Light and Magic. After checking the props, they went to the special effects department. Some clips that only depend on the cg screen were provided. Natalie provided a draft of the shots and After the general idea, Industrial Light & Magic has already started the pre-design.

In general, the preliminary preparations of Industrial Light and Magic are very reassuring. Ryan and Natalie did not stay long and left San Francisco by car.

"To make Northrend's snow scene..."

On the car back, Natalie was still discussing the work of the crew with Ryan, "Industrial Light & Magic's special effects team went to Greenland and the Arctic some time ago to shoot scenes. I don't plan to shoot snow scenes on the spot. This part will be synthesized by cg."

"You are the director." Ryan didn't mean to object at all. Compared to Natalie today, he can only be regarded as a layman in the director industry. "You have the final say in the specific shooting."

"Morik has gone to Australia." Natalie mentioned was the executive producer of the film. "Supervised the setting of the Warner Movie World studio. If nothing else, we can start shooting around February next year. Up."

"Ok."

Ryan nodded, and suddenly thought of another important question, "Nate, where's the actor?"

"The special effects of the film are the focus of the cost." Natalie obviously considered it very clearly. "The crew has a limited budget in terms of actor salaries, including your 20 million US dollars. Therefore, in addition to the male and female protagonists, Julius and I I don’t plan to invite first-line actors."

"This is a wise decision."

The age of relying on celebrities to attract the box office has long passed. Just look at Depp’s "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the five consecutive bashings. Ryan very much agrees with Natalie and Julis.

"The highlight of the film is not in the performance of the actors, and we don't need to invite high-paying actors with outstanding acting skills."

Having been with Ryan for so many years, Natalie certainly understands what the selling point of this kind of film is, "As long as their acting skills can pass the test."

"Then..." Ryan asked, squeezing his chin, "What about the heroine? I have auditioned twice, is there anyone I like."

"Have……"

Hearing Natalie's hesitant voice, Ryan made a please gesture.

"Jaina Proudmoore's candidate, Julis and I both agree with Gail."

Speaking of this, Natalie sighed helplessly, "Sylvanas Windrunner, Alison wants to..."

"She?" Ryan frowned. "Is she serious?"

"Of course!" Natalie gave him a pair of white eyes. "Although Alison's acting skills are very ordinary, but the three Windrunner sisters in the role set are vases, and Sylvanas doesn't have many scenes. I think she It should be manageable."

"If you and Julis approve," Ryan has nothing to do with Taylor. Besides, this is not a role that requires acting. "I have no objection."

"I think Alison will be happy." Natalie sighed suddenly, "Although she never said, I can tell that she has always wanted to cooperate with you."

"Is Gail's schedule suitable?" Ryan asked the heroine again.

"The Avengers" was a great success, and Warner Bros. and comics are naturally not far behind. "Green Lantern" and the new "Superman" series are in production. "Justice League" has also been put on the agenda, as the most recent entry into the new century. For successful movie roles, Wonder Woman will have a series of guest appearances next to connect the entire Justice League together.

"Gail has coordinated with Warner Bros." Natalie was obviously prepared, "Schedule is not a problem."

After experiencing the vicious competition between News Corporation and Walt Disney, the five major media groups resumed the competitive and cooperative situation, but the separated News Corporation and Fox Group both withdrew from the top five ranks. Skat has become the newest bottom of the top five.

The Rolls-Royce motorhome drove directly to North Hollywood and quickly stopped in front of Natalie's house.

"I got out of the car."

Natalie kissed Ryan on the cheek, "I am going to Australia tomorrow. If there is a problem here, Ryan, you can contact Julis."

"Honey." Ryan reached out and opened the car door for her. "Why do I feel like you are the boss?"

"Because I'm the director!" Natalie got out of the car and turned back and waved. "So you have to listen to me."

Saying goodbye to Natalie, Ryan did not stop in North Hollywood, and ordered the driver to go back to the Disney building in Burbank and picked up Sandy with Taylor from the Disney Animation Studio.

"Dad, daddy..."

After getting in the car, Sandy leaned close to Ryan and said non-stop, "I watched a movie with my sister. That princess is so beautiful."

"Elsa." Taylor explained.

"Well, that's her!" Sandy nodded hurriedly, "The castle she built, and her dress is so beautiful, I want it too."

Seeing her daughter's so much-loved look, Ryan seemed to have seen Tyler's childhood.

Taylor pointed to a few handbags beside her, "These are limited edition products of "Frost Adventure", which I specially made for Sonny."

"Seeing Sunny..." Tyler hugged Sandy and kissed her on the forehead. "I think of me before."

"Before?" Sandy asked with big blue eyes curiously, "What did my sister look like when she was a child."

"Just as naughty as you."

Reaching out and rubbing her daughter's blonde hair, Ryan asked Taylor, "The movie is about to be released, remember to adjust the schedule."

"Black-hearted capitalist." Taylor deliberately muttered, "not even his sister will let him go." (To be continued...)
