  Chapter 250 The Snake Comes Around (Subscription required)

   Actually.

  The "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" series, the 12 Chinese zodiac movies, although the filming of twelve films has not been completed, there is a "Year of the Snake" theme among them.

   "Joyful Over the Year of the Snake" is the original version, the big movie "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" with the theme of the Year of the Snake.

  The plot mainly tells the story that under the approach of natural disasters, various ethnic groups put aside the natural food chain, and the sheep and wolves join hands with the snake clan to jointly open the Noah's Shenzhou and protect the green grassland.

   Speaking of this movie…

  In all fairness, Gu Miao didn't like it very much, and even thought it was a "regression".

  Compared to the early twelve zodiac movies, that is, "Bullish", "Tiger and Tiger", and "The Year of the Rabbit", etc., the production level has not returned to the past since the year of the dragon.

  This is obvious to the audience.

  If the Year of the Dragon is a turning point, and "Happy Year of the Dragon" means the beginning of the decline of the Zodiac series of movies, then the Year of the Snake will make things worse, completely disappointing the previous audience.

  Although the box office has successfully exceeded 100 million, it is not bad at first glance, and it is not inferior to the previous ones, but...

  Pleasant Goat and Snake Lunar New Year movie, the box office on the first day was close to 15 million, and the box office exceeded 60 million in the first week.

   As a result, the total box office exceeded 100 million!

   This data, no one can't understand it? It scored 60 million at the box office in the first week. If this result were exchanged for other blockbuster movies, the total box office would have already reached 350 million.

   The result was only over 100 million points, which only shows that the follow-up word of mouth completely exploded.

Why is this so?

  If Gu Miao had to comment, he could only say that the Chinese New Year movie for the Year of the Snake really went the wrong way.

  The funny elements of the film have become less. As an animation that focuses on "happy and funny", it is a very taboo thing to forget the original intention.

not to mention…

  The Year of the Snake movie uses 3D special effects to render large scenes, but the 3D effects used are not satisfactory, and even look a little "cheap".

   That is the sense of "five cents" special effects.

   Of course, this is not a big mistake.

   "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is an animation that focuses on "plot". As long as the plot is done well and everyone can enjoy watching it, it is worth the fare.

   But the problem is.

  The plot of the Year of the Snake movie is really not "worth the ticket price". The story is weak and lacks creativity. In order to promote the concept of "environmental protection", the audience is educated "bluntly", which has no entertainment effect.

  I can only say, good death!

  The writing of the script has regressed so obviously, the production is lacking in intention, and it is a movie launched entirely to cater to the audience. Who will die if it doesn't die?

  Wake up!

  Looking at the "Bullish" and "Tiger and Tiger" back then, have you forgotten the original intention of making the Zodiac series of movies?

  Probably because of this.

  Gu Miao has no interest in the original "Year of the Snake" New Year's movie. It can even be said that he doesn't even have the idea of ​​being a "Wen Chao Gong".

  Instead of copying that, forgetting the original intention, and being disliked by the audience, I might as well think of a way to figure out an original script by myself.

  The silly apprentice's proposal is very good.

  The allusion of "The Snake Transforms into a Dragon" is well-known in China, and it is very suitable for integration into the plot of the movie.

  As for, how to use technology to interpret this "myth" allusion? And arrange it, the plot of the Year of the Snake movie?

   Everyone also discussed the results.

  Snakes transform into dragons. In the mythology of Huaguo, dragons have the talent of "rainfall". In many myths and stories, the object of praying for rain in arid areas is the dragon king.

  OK!

   Isn’t there an idea here?

   "The Qingqing Grassland is in a crisis of "drought" without rain for a long time. If the drought continues, the animals on the grassland will die."

   "After consulting the classics, the village head of Manyangyang told everyone an amazing news. There is a magical creature in this world named dragon!"

Gu Miao coughed and said slowly: "The dragon can control wind, rain, thunder, electricity and other weather, which also gave Big Big Wolf an idea. If you can catch the dragon and tame it for your own use, wouldn't you be able to control it?" The life and death of all animals in the grassland?"

   "At that time, he will threaten Yangcun with a dragon and ask them to offer a fat sheep regularly, otherwise there will be no rain..."

"etc!"

  Before Gu Miao finished speaking, Hou Bin raised his hand and asked, "Aren't we talking about a movie about the Year of the Snake? Mr. Gu, you're talking about dragons, are you digressing?"

   "Don't worry! Wait for me to finish first!"

   "Because grassland animals wantonly destroy the ecological environment, there are no dragons in the Qingqing grassland."

  Gu Miao said with a smile: "Everyone found the residence of the legendary dragon, but found that the dragon has disappeared for thousands of years. There is no dragon here, only a snake..."

  The plot of the movie begins here.

  The dragon disappeared long ago because of the destruction of the ecological environment. But the grassland drought is still going on. In order to save the creatures on the grassland, everyone began to think of other ways.

  The cute little snake "Wangcai" was also brought back to Yangcun by the village chief.

   "Snake" is also a very rare animal in Qingqing Grassland. In order to help Wangcai find his parents, the lambs are constantly thinking.

   "Wangcai's father can be set as the dragon that has disappeared!"

  After lunch, Huang Kun, who came to join in the fun, suggested: "In legend, the ancestor of snakes is dragon! Of course, this is just a legend."

"Can!"

  Gu Miao nodded and said: "As the saying goes, a dragon has nine sons, and the sons are different. A snake hatched from a dragon egg is not unacceptable."

   "It will be easy after that..."

"Create a villain, let the lambs cooperate with Big Big Wolf to defeat powerful enemies together. Then Wangcai broke through the genetic shackles, evolved into a new dragon, and escaped into the sky. There was a heavy rain on the grassland, and the dead grass was about to return to its original state. "

   Yo Ho!

   Everyone thinks quite broadly, right?

   Before Gu Miao had time to speak, everyone followed his train of thought and briefly summarized what happened next.

  Of course, the overview belongs to the overview.

   There are still many details, such as how the villain is arranged, how Wangcai evolved from a snake to a dragon, etc., which need to be discussed later.

  However, at this point, the plan for the Wanbao version of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" movie for the Year of the Snake has basically taken shape.

   Next thing to discuss…

  It's easy!

  The main title of the Chinese New Year movie for the Year of the Snake must be "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf". What about the subtitle, which is the name of the movie?

  New Year movie!

  Since it is the Lunar New Year, it is during the Spring Festival, and the wording must pay attention to "festive and auspicious". As for whether it has anything to do with the plot, that's not a big deal.

  The bullishness, the vigor of the tiger and the majesty of the tiger, the year of the rabbit, etc., don't see any special connection with the plot?

   Just make an auspicious picture and say it smoothly.

  If idioms are preferred, auspicious and festive, and somewhat related to the plot, then Gu Miao thought of a word.

   "The Snake Comes to Run"!
