Post-shadow Development Plan

Qiye nodded, acquiescing to Zhizhi's guess.

According to Jiufeng Ziyuan's previous request, if Nanaya or Hanai Ryuichi had the intention to participate in directing the film adaptation of the "Saint and the Brave" series, they must submit their first version of the script within one month.

This script can be written by the director himself, or it can be written by the director with a co-screenwriter.Just make sure that there will be no authorship disputes at that time.

One month later, Eagle Summit will conduct a unified discussion on all submitted scripts, and finally decide whose proposal to adopt.

According to Jiufeng Ziyuan, because the script designers of Jiufeng Group are used to creating game scripts, the scripts they produced internally before are basically stinky and long ones, which are not suitable for adaptation into movies at all.

Therefore, Jiufeng Ziyuan hopes that the directors can use the setting collection of the "Saint and the Brave" series provided by themselves, and then come up with a feasible plan from the perspective of a professional filmmaker to review for themselves, and then discuss and choose from among them. A most appropriate story to make.

But the problem lies here. The part that shouldn't get stuck at first, or the easiest part for the traverser, has become the biggest obstacle for Qiye at present.

It has been three weeks, and there is still the last week before the deadline.

However, he Kiryu Nanaya didn't know what kind of story to come up with.

It's not that Qiye doesn't have any drafts in mind, in fact, it's thanks to the flourishing development of Tianchao's fantasy web novels and game web novels, as well as the trend of crossing western fantasy worlds that has blown up in the Japanese light world since 2015.Qiye has too many materials to enumerate, but these themes are not worth mentioning in front of Qiye's opponents.

Because the competitors are so powerful that Qiye doesn't know what kind of story to fight against.

Qiye deduces based on Jiufeng's budget and his own ability. If he wins the bid, then it is estimated that the film will be completed by the end of 2001 to mid-2002, including the post-production.

Coupled with a series of operations such as publicity, if you are lucky, this movie will meet the audience in 2002 and 2003.

Regardless of the long time span, this is already quite an ideal state.

But it is precisely this ideal state that makes Qiye feel embarrassed.

Because she heard the news about "The Lord of the Rings", Nanaya specially paid attention to the upcoming movies in Japan and abroad in recent years.

For Qiye, he really didn't know if he didn't see it, and he was shocked when he saw it.

In Japan, the box office usually has a big and small year. Whenever a super-phenomenal movie appears in Japan, it will trigger an upsurge of watching movies among the whole people. In this way, the box office data of this movie will become very scary. A box office of more than 200 billion yen is considered a basic operation.

But when the popularity of this movie fades, the audience's enthusiasm for the movie will not be so high in the next few years, so even if it is the box office champion in the next few years after this movie, it will not have very good results.

However, this situation was exceptional in the two years from 2001 to 2002.

The Japanese box office champion in 2001 was a film that Nana had no mood to fight.It is "Spirited Away" by Hayao Miyazaki.

This film, which won 308 billion yen and is still the champion of the box office list in Japanese film history until 20 years later, can be said to be a monument of Japanese animation films.

Although the old man Hayao Miyazaki has some problems in his life style, as an animation filmmaker, "Spirited Away", which can be said to be the masterpiece of Hayao Miyazaki, is undoubtedly a great work .

If it’s just like this, it’s okay, after all, the movie that Nanaya will make will be released in 2002, and the game-changing movie with the theme of Western fantasy as the background does not conflict with Hayao Miyazaki’s Japanese-style animated movie. .Although it will indeed have a certain impact on the box office, this conflict is not obvious.

The real trouble came next year, 2002.This year's Japanese box office champion was "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" (released in late 2001, but attributed to 2002 in terms of box office calculations).

In other words, it crashed directly, okay?

To make matters worse, although the box office of this movie in Japan is not as terrifying as the 300 billion yen of "Spirited Away", the box office performance of 203 billion yen can also be regarded as a big year for the movie box office.

However, more tragic things are yet to come. Because of concerns about the development of the young actors in the "Harry Potter" series, Warner directly launched the second "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" at the end of 2002.

If it weren't for various problems such as changing directors and actors' voice changes, Qiye estimated that Warner might even release the third "Prisoner of Azkaban" in 03.

You thought it was over?

No, in addition to the theme of the "Harry Potter" series, there is another epic Western Fantasy magic theme competitor waiting for Qiye.

This opponent's name is "The Lord of the Rings".

This epic Western fantasy work can be regarded as the originator of Western fantasy literature from the perspective of the original work. In terms of the subject matter of Western fantasy novels, it can be equivalent to the status of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West" in Chinese chapters.From a movie point of view, this trilogy of epic temperament can force the group of academic old immortals to bow their heads with commercial movies, and winning a grand slam at the Oscars is already a good example of the problem.

It can be said that Qiye has chosen the worst subject matter at present, and at the worst time, he wants to shoot a movie where an egg hits a rock.

"Simply the worst case scenario..."

Qiye covered his face, he could already imagine what kind of setback he would encounter.

If he simply writes a Western fantasy-themed game change story, he does have a lot of inventory in his mind.Whether it's the online articles of the Celestial Dynasty, or the trend of social animals traveling through Western fantasy games that will rise in Japanese light novels in the future, you can find a lot of material.

Taking advantage of these materials, Qiye believes that he can write a story with a score of at least 75 points. With the popularity of the game IP "Saint and the Brave", it should be able to reach the level of 80-85 points.

It's a pity that he has to face the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy with a score of 90 and the "Harry Potter" series with a score of 80 for the story but a special effect of 95 (current era). The chances of winning are really not great.

This is like Qiye wants to grab the audience in front of "Journey to the West" and "Fengshen Yanyi", but the only thing he can show is "Xu Xian and the White Snake".Qiye believes that his story will definitely be liked by people, but if he expands the scope to the whole world, he believes that most of the audience will prefer the other two stories instead of his own.

"Senior, you don't need to put too much pressure on you. If it really doesn't work, we'll just give up on this project." Weaving is very worried about Qiye's current mentality. He always feels that his senior brother is always giving himself some inexplicable things after taking over this project. pressure.

"Senior, I know that project is very important to you, but "Magical Girl Illya" is also very important to us." Rin who was waiting to shoot lightly poked Nanaya's shoulder with a prop spear, " Don’t you, the senior, tell you to finish your work seriously? You have to abide by it yourself!”

Luvia rarely agreed with Rin's point of view: "That's right, senior, if you really want to think hard, you should finish your work earlier."

"Hehe, someone is in such a hurry because he is afraid of the cold~"

Rin noticed that Luvia's arms hugging her chest were gently rubbing, and when she thought of something, she immediately mocked her.

Luvia, who was caught by Rin's words, became angry from embarrassment, and she immediately retorted with her arms akimbo: "As Miss Ben, who was born in Northern Europe, how could she be afraid of the cold at this temperature!"

Rin brushed her hair, with a mocking look on her face: "Who knows, after all, it's impossible for someone to wear this kind of clothes on the street in Northern Europe~"

At this time, Luvia was wearing a set of golden tights and a skirt of dark blue gauze. Although there was a baby warmer on her body, her arms and belly were exposed.With the current temperature in January, it will indeed feel cold.

But even if the facts are true, Luvia will not give up easily. She pointed at Rin and yelled loudly: "You still talk about me, don't you yourself be cold? Be careful that you will get arthritis in the future!"

Rin's current clothes are indeed more covered than Luvia's and thicker than Luvia's, but her left leg and knee are completely exposed there. During the previous filming process, Rin has already stomped and stomped. I don't know how many times .
