Director’s Legend - Chapter 369
Talking about “Tao” with Li Xinjun, the Taoist commander, is not that Shao Shuaijun is preparing to convert to Sanqing and become a Taoist priest. But he wanted to understand better how Taoism emerged in ancient times and how it had such a profound influence.
He has some unformed ideas and plans to develop some new movies.
At the opening ceremony of the New Electrical Technology Research Institute that year, he gave a speech, saying that China has five thousand years of cultural heritage and many mysterious treasures, but no one has developed them. Now it happens that he has no new film plans himself, so he is simply looking for something in Chinese traditional culture.
The more you search in traditional culture, the more you can feel the profoundness of Chinese culture.
According to Shao Shuaijun’s current thinking, at least four series with good selling points can be made.
One is the “Ancient Legends” series. The protagonists that can be written include Nuwa, Fuxi, Shennong, Huangdi, and Dayu. Nuwa created human beings, Fuxi taught the ancestors, Shennong tasted Baicao, Huangdi Pochiyou, Dayu’s water control, there are too many things to film. Especially the battle between Huangdi and Chi You.
There is a magnificent protagonist, the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Chinese. He has struggled for the cause of mankind. After killing and killing, he finally unified the Central Plains.
There is a super villain-Chi You, Chi You rules the Jiuli tribe outside the Central Plains, with countless men, vast land and resources, and an excellent candidate for the villain.
Huangdi has a group of good brothers—Yinglong and Hanyan. Yinglong sends floods to sweep the wind and rain.
Chi You also has a few younger brothers-Feng Po and Yu Shi, who are so arrogant.
Huangdi has a master, Guang Chengzi, who has given the Huangdi various skills to lay the foundation for the rise of the Huangdi.
The Huangdi has a confidante, the Nine Heavens Profound Girl, who came down from the world to help the Huangdi fight Chiyou together, giving the Huangdi reason to persevere.
Huangdi also has a helper-Yandi. It is said that he is still a brother. He doesn’t know each other if he doesn’t fight. After the fight, he will challenge Chi You together.
The Yellow Emperor also has high technology-a guide car, Chi You uses magic, the Yellow Emperor scientifically breaks superstition, a great material for man to conquer the sky.
Love, teacher-student relationship, brotherhood, comradeship, all kinds of Hollywood blockbuster elements are there, as long as a good script is written, why not sell it.
Moreover, the consecutive episodes can be finalized. After Yinglong finished the flood, the flood could not be quelled, so Dayu was able to control the water. The drought broke through the wind and rain, but became a monster, and everyone shouted and beat. The Jiuli tribe was conquered, some merged into the Yanhuang tribe, and some retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, establishing the Sanmiao tribe and becoming a minority in southern Xinjiang.
There are many stories, which can be opened separately to form a huge series of stories.
The other is the “Fairy Buddha, God and Demon” series. The protagonists that can be written include the Eight Immortals, the Jade Emperor, Li Jing Nezha, Tang Seng Wukong, King Zhou and so on. The Eight Immortals crossed the sea and each showed their magical powers, the Jade Emperor ruled the three realms, Li Jing Nezha and his son, Tang Seng Wukong Journey to the west catastrophe, you can shoot more than these, there are too many immortals in China, the special effects have kept up, the script is written, it will definitely not compare How bad is Hollywood blockbusters with low IQ?
Another is the “Hundred Scholars” series, which reproduces the turbulent era of the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period.
The last one is the “Assassin’s Biography” series, the assassin king Laoye, the comet hits the moon; Nie Zhengzhi the assassin Han puppet, the white rainbow runs through the sun; the assassin who wants to leave, the goshawk strikes the hall. They are very cool and cool stories.
These stories originated from mythology and history. What Shao Shuaijun most wants to do is the story of the battle between Huangdi and Chi You. This story is too classic and fits well with Hollywood blockbusters. However, to do a good job of this story requires a lot of historical accumulation. It must not only conform to the blockbuster blockbuster model, but also cannot completely depict history. It requires a lot of homework.
The Yellow Emperor is the ancestor of Taoism, so Shao Shuaijun and Li Xinjun talked about the Yellow Emperor’s Tao.
Li Xinjun is an erudite Taoist priest who knows astronomy and geography from the top, and has a particularly profound study of ancient mythology. Many allusions and theories have a complete set of ideas.
In contrast to Li Xinjun’s statement, Shao Shuaijun gradually gained more and more profound understanding of the ancient times.
I have a clearer understanding of what to do with the story of the battle between Huangdi and Chi You.
After a day of leisure, after returning home, Shao Shuaijun teased his son, and then wrote the script at the desk. If the four series of ancient legends, fairy buddhas, gods and demons, philosophers and assassins are completed, it will definitely be a huge project. It is very difficult to do it alone with personal strength.
“It seems that I have to think hard about how to conceive these series.” Shao Shuaijun picked up the pen, thought for a while, and put it down again.
Then I dialed Yi Jianmei’s phone.
“Hey, Sister Mei, I’ll discuss something with you. I recently have a movie plan. The plan is huge. I don’t expect it to be completed by myself. You can ask Jiahe’s screenwriting department to cooperate, and it is best to post a call for scripts on the Internet. , I will pass the information to you.”
It’s the usual practice of big directors to provide creativity and screenwriters to write scripts.
After passing the creative materials, Shao Shuaijun conceived the ancient legend of the Yellow Emperor Chiyou War.
Within two days, the screenwriting department of Jiahe Entertainment took over the four series of film creation plans, and according to Shao Shuaijun’s requirements, unified the world views of the four series to draw up a general framework. Then on the Internet, mainly various novel websites, the “Millions of Screenwriters Collection Project” was released.
“The majority of literature lovers, screenwriters, and well-known director Shao Shuaijun, together with Jiahe Entertainment, collect excellent scripts and excellent ideas from the entire network. After the scripts and ideas are passed, they will receive a minimum of 10,000 yuan, a generous remuneration without a ceiling. , More likely to become the screenwriter of the new film directed by Shao Shuaijun.
The script collection plan for this script is limited to four series, including ancient legends, gods, gods, immortals, philosophers, and biographies of assassins. The world background is as follows… All the settings and plots can only be shown in this world background. It can be a complete script, a small paragraph, or an outline idea.
The deadline for submission of the first phase is the end of May 2012. The excellent scripts and scripts will be selected by the editor of Mtime.com, selected by the screenwriting department of Jiahe Entertainment, and finally handed over to director Shao Shuaijun for final review. Once approved by the director Shao Shuaijun in the form of script, he can obtain the position of contracted editor of Jiahe Entertainment.
Chinese movie magic giant system, looking forward to your joining! “
Almost as soon as the script solicitation plan was released, the entire fiction industry and screenwriters were in a rush, and countless writers were eager to show their fists. I look forward to showing off what I have learned, and then being promoted by Shao Shuaijun as a screenwriter and entering the entertainment circle. Of course, some readers are eagerly eager. They may not know how to write the script, but it is still possible to write an outline, a short paragraph, and a small idea.
Even if it is just an idea, as long as it is affirmed, there will be a remuneration of 10,000 yuan.
Authors and readers are busy, and the media is not far behind.
