Chapter 448: How to Adapt the Game


As mentioned before, the shooting of action movies is relatively simple, even if it is a dazzling shot such as a one-shot to the end, it is not difficult after the first plan and many live shooting rehearsals.

After all, it's no longer the era of film films, and the cost of shooting five or ten times doesn't change much.

As a popular role of the non-male protagonist in the movie, Galahad, played by Uncle Colin, happily received a lunch box and ended his role after contributing the most wonderful "Church Hundred Beheadings" in the whole film.

This is actually the standard Hollywood movie model, which allows the popular character to die at a fixed point in time, which can not only start the next plot, but also make the audience feel resentful of the villain.

Compared with the villains in past film and television works, who bullied men and women, lost their conscience, and engraved "Kill me quickly" on their faces as soon as they appeared, the villains in recent years often have a high-sounding excuse.

For love, for the cause, for the interests of the country, and go further, like the "director" in "Ace Agent", the excuse is for the future of mankind and the earth's environment.

More than 20 years ago, the heads of many developed countries in the West and some bigwigs who hold the lifeblood of the human world held a meeting, saying that the current population is too large, and 90% of them have no role in the development of civilization, and they can be completely erased.

Then the remaining 10% of the elite population will have sufficient resources to greatly accelerate the process of human civilization.

It doesn't matter if this news is true or not, but I have to admit that some people do think this way, so the statement in the movie is not completely nonsense.

However, the method he took is really nonsense, not to mention anything else, free mobile phone cards will be wiped out by the two giants of China Mobile Unicom.

But after all, the original work is just a simple juvenile hot-blooded comic.,The focus is not on the plot in the first place.,So it doesn't matter if it's nonsense.。

Mu Ming thought about whether to add an easter egg to the domestic version of the movie and set aside the Chinese part on the map of the villain's global network.

But if you think about it this way, a neighboring country should also have to set it aside?

However, it seems that his own films have no chance of breaking into the market of neighboring countries......

The filming of the film entered the second half, and the crew moved to the studio.

The entire second half of the filming was studio shooting with a green screen.

Without the interference of external factors such as passers-by, weather, venues, etc., the shooting speed is a little faster.

If it weren't for the daily working hours limit, Mu Ming would definitely be able to finish filming a quarter of the time in advance.

The key point is not in the actors, they are paid.

There are so many schedules given, and no one cares about shooting more and less every day.

Mainly the crew members, especially the low-level staff, many of them are paid by the time.

Of course, if you want to work overtime, you can just pay more.

Disney calculated the cost of overtime and the savings of finishing in advance, and then told Mu Ming that she must keep improving, don't be in a hurry, just shoot slowly.

Since Disney said so, Mu Ming naturally didn't have to embarrass herself, so just shoot slowly.

In addition, the shooting itself is also simple, and there is a lot of free time, which is the most relaxing movie Mu Ming has made in recent years.

However, the ease of filming does not mean that Mu Ming can be idle, Du Yang, as the general manager of Mizuki, also stayed, and began to arrange contacts with Hollywood through Disney.

In fact, this is the task that Du Yang gave to Mu Ming at the beginning, and the movie shooting is just a springboard.

Just as Hollywood has always wanted to enter the Chinese market, domestic film and television companies have always had the same idea about the North American market.

So, Mu Ming was not idle during this time, and was pulled by Du Yang to participate in a lot of drinking parties.

The reception is basically composed of bigwigs from major film and television companies, well-known producers, directors and actors in Hollywood, and it is quite high-end.

How to say it, at the beginning, with the purpose of getting to know a few European and American stars that he liked, such as Juan Fu, Loki, "Guo Da", etc., Mu Ming was still quite interested.

But after watching too much, this mood fades, and slowly I feel bored.

"Hmm......"

Mu Ming found a place to sit in a relatively quiet corner of the banquet hall and breathed a long sigh of relief.

This kind of occasion is not what he is good at, so Du Yang is doing everything to communicate, and he mainly assumes the role of "mascot".

"After looking around, it turns out that you are here."

Du Yang, who had just finished his work, came over and sat down beside Mu Ming as he spoke.

"It's quieter here."

Mu Ming spread his hands.

Du Yang smiled, she had known Mu Ming for several years, so she naturally knew that he didn't like drinking parties and the like.

But there is no way, without his participation, it is not easy for his identity to come into contact with those Hollywood bigwigs.

After all, the reputation of Shuimu Film and Television is currently only valid in China, and here in Europe and the United States, it is far worse than Mu Ming's own fame.

How to say that Mu Ming also won a Cannes actress, and several movies have also made some achievements in North America, and they are still famous.

"How's it going?"

Mu Ming asked.

"In general, there have been gains during this time.

It's not much use to say it's useful, it's useless but it's also a little useful, anyway, it's a bit of a relationship.

Du Yang frowned, obviously not satisfied with the current situation.

"Actually, the key point is still you, if you can increase your reputation in Hollywood and make them feel profitable, the rest will naturally fall into place."

Du Yang looked at Mu Ming and continued.

Mu Ming understood what she meant, when her commercial value was high enough, someone would naturally take the initiative to contact her, instead of opening up the situation little by little like now.

"After the release of "Ace Agent", there should be some more."

Mu Ming nodded and said, "Take your time."

Moreover, there is no need to pay so much attention to the North American market.

The domestic film and television market has been expanding, and the growth rate is getting faster and faster.

Even if we focus on China, it is enough for our development. ” Mu Ming does not have as much motivation as Du Yang to expand the international market, he has always felt that the domestic market is enough for Shuimu to develop for many years, after all, Shuimu can only be regarded as one of the first-class in China now, and there is still a lot of distance from the top of the industry.

However, it is not bad to get in touch with Hollywood in advance, and the European and American markets are indeed more resourceful.

For example, Mu Ming recently found a place that was somewhat ignored, or rather, although it was not ignored, it was not so important.

"Sister Du Yang, have you ever played a game?"

"Games?"

Du Yang was stunned by the question, and after reacting for a while, he said, "Happy and happy......

Count?

” “…… Large-scale online games, or plot-oriented indie games, as well as console games, can meet the needs of film and television adaptations.

"Can Happy Pop be adapted into a movie?

It's really hard to say, after all, "Angry Birds" can do it.

It is not uncommon for games to be adapted into film and television works, such as the "Tomb Raider" series and "Resident Evil" series, and the closer ones are "Warcraft" and "Assassin's Creed", which will be released in China next year.

The original games of these two works are internationally renowned big IPs, and the traffic effect is no worse than some novels and the like.

For various reasons, the domestic game market has not been very prosperous, and there are naturally fewer adaptations.

After so many years, the only thing that can be done is "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and it is also a TV series.

In comparison, the game market in Europe and the United States is much better, and the CG of some 3A masterpieces is comparable to the top Hollywood masterpieces.

However, no matter how well it is done, it is not a movie after all, and the main problem is how to compress dozens or even hundreds of hours of content from the original work to less than two hours.

From this point of view, it is the TV series that can better meet the needs of game adaptation.

However, this is not entirely the case, and some works are relatively easy to adapt.

Of course, it is also a test of the director's skills, after all, many plots and elements in the game are prepared for gameplay.

You climb the walls, climb the walls, and stand at the top of the Florence Clock Tower for ten minutes before jumping down.

But if you change it to the big screen and watch the protagonist do the same, it's not interesting.

In addition to this, there is the issue of cost.

The cost of adapting animation is too high; Adapted into a live-action version, the cost is higher.

This is also the reason why the four major film and television companies have been hesitant in terms of game adaptation.

I believe that next year's Warcraft and Assassin's Creed will make them continue to hesitate.

For these adaptation problems, Mu Ming naturally has no good solutions.

But as the saying goes, solving puzzles is difficult, but avoiding them is easy.

Since these games are not easy to adapt, it is better to choose some that are easy to adapt.

For example, Mu Ming's favorite game in her previous life, "The Last of Us", whether it is the plot characters or the scene special effects, it is much easier to adapt.

On top of that, the story of this game is really exciting.

"However, if these games are adapted into movies, I am afraid it will be difficult to pass the review in China."

Du Yang reminded Mu Ming not to forget the most important thing.

The most powerful thing about foreign games is that all kinds of novel brains are opened.

For example, how to grow from a single cell to an overlord who informs alien planets; How to lead a group of people who will adhere to the "eight-hour work system" in the last days to survive.

However, relatively speaking, many games are not so positive in terms of game theme and part of the plot.

For example, in the previous "The Last of Us", the protagonist uncle gave up saving all mankind for the sake of a little girl, and killed all the other people who wanted to save the world, which is really not "positive energy".

Another example is a game that Mu Ming played, the goal of victory is to spread the virus to the world, which is simply anti-human.

So the honest and simple Mu Ming chose Iceland initially, and then did not spread the virus until the Icelanders died.

"It's okay, let's buy the film and television rights of a few well-known and easy-to-adapt works first.

When the time comes, you can review the script, and you can slowly try to revise it.

If it succeeds, it can be regarded as broadening the genre choice for the domestic film industry.

In case you really can't get by, you can resell it to Hollywood, or apply for filming abroad and then bring it to China. ” Mu Ming has little interest in promoting the development of the domestic film industry, but if he can expand the scope of censorship and open up more genres for domestic films to choose from, he is still more willing.

Mu Ming and Du Yang just briefly discussed a few words, although Mu Ming put forward this idea, but the specific feasibility has to be discussed by the company.

As Shuimu Film and Television gradually gets on the right track, many things are no longer something that Mu Ming can decide with a pat on the head.

The discussion of business is over, and the topic of the two returns to the reception.

Du Yang smiled teasingly, looked at Mu Ming and said, "I heard that Emma Watson is also here tonight, why, you didn't try to talk."

Don't worry, I won't tell Li Ying. ” Mu Ming has always liked Emma Watson, not to mention Du Yang, his fans also know that it is a very public thing.

But then again, Mu Ming's age is the generation that grew up watching "Harry Potter", and there are quite a few fans who like "Hermione".

"I recently learned a saying that distance produces beauty.

In order not to destroy the image of the childhood goddess in my heart, I think it is better to stay away from her.

Mu Ming subconsciously glanced in a certain direction not far away, and then said half-jokingly.

Well, the fact is that Mu Ming has already gone to talk, and the image of the goddess has basically collapsed.

There is still a big difference between Emma's own personality and the character shown in front of the public, and after Mu Ming chatted for a few words, she had the feeling that she didn't speculate for more than half a sentence.

Of course, if it's to roll the sheets, it doesn't matter if we can talk about it or not.

However, as a person who already has a girlfriend, Mu Ming doesn't have any idea of rolling the sheets, so there is no need to waste her time, energy, humor, etc. to echo her.

"Sister Du Yang, don't call me this kind of unimportant drinking party in the future, I'm millions of dollars a minute, it's a waste of time to come."

Mu Ming stood up and said to Du Yang seriously by the way.

But then again, if you convert your net worth, Mu Ming's time is indeed very valuable.

In fact, the phrase "an inch of time and an inch of gold" mainly describes the time of the rich and the poor is not very valuable.

As a non-recent undergraduate graduate, I fully felt the malice of looking for a job. ps: "The Last of Us" is highly recommended, and if you don't like to play games, you can also watch the live and see the plot, it's pretty good, and I hope it can be adapted into a movie.
