Chapter 431 The flood of superheroes
"A new script?"
The next afternoon, Lin Yuan found Lao Zhou with the newly completed script of "Spider-Man" and sought the company's shooting support.
"I'll take a look!"
Old Zhou was delighted and immediately took over the script of "Spider-Man", with a trace of expectation flashing across his face, and said to Lin Yuan:
"You sit for a while."
Lin Yuan nodded and looked at the piano in Lao Zhou's room. He felt a little itchy for a moment: "Can I play it for a while?"
"sure."
Lao Zhou nodded with a smile.
After all, he is also the leader of the composition department. Lao Zhou still has some music skills. For example, Lao Zhou can also play the piano, but his playing level is very average, so the piano is placed in the office, and most of the time it is just decorated.
"Thanks."
Lin Yuan sat in front of the piano and started improvising. Lao Zhou was watching the script of "Spider-Man".
“???~”
Recalling the plot of "Spider-Man", Lin Yuan's piano is sometimes soft, sometimes full of tension, and sometimes psychedelic.
I don’t know how long it took, but Lao Zhou finally finished reading the script, and Lin Yuan also stopped playing.
"The first time I read the script, there was someone playing next to me."
Lao Zhou looked at Lin Yuan in front of the piano: "It feels good."
Lin Yuan went straight to the topic: "How about the script?"
Old Zhou pondered for a moment, and three words appeared: "It's pretty good."
Lin Yuan: “…”
Old Zhou laughed: "Or what else can you ask me to say? A small person turns into a superhero to save the world. This is obviously a common science fiction commercial film. To evaluate whether this type of film is good depends not only on the script, but also on whether the scene is grand enough or not enough exciting enough. Unlike your previous movie "Hakuki", literary dramas always need to pay more attention to the plot and the performance of the actors."
Lin Yuan nodded.
This is the truth.
He didn't expect others to be shocking when they saw the script of "Spider-Man". That's unrealistic. It's better to ask a question more simply:
"Can you take a photo?"
Lin Yuan now has a lot of assets, and the company is the best to invest. If the company is unwilling to invest, Lin Yuan will pay his own money and let the company's crew work for him.
"sure."
Lao Zhou closed the script: "From the story of the script, the expectation is pretty good. Although there are many superhero movies on the market, this just shows that superhero is a very popular movie theme..."
Lin Yuan's expression is strange.
As Lao Zhou said.
The small characters transform into superheroes to save the world are common routines in the Blue Star film and television industry, because many years ago, Qiren had already started the wave of the era of superhero movies!
It goes back thirty years ago.
At that time, Qizhou filmed a movie called "Dragon Man". The plot pattern of this movie is very similar to that of Marvel. The protagonist in the movie is a biologist. One day, two terrifying monsters appeared in Blue Star, as if they were fighting for a bottle of strange potion. The protagonist, as a reporter, immediately took pictures of the battle between the two monsters.
result……
The two monsters died together, and the potion they fought for was also broken, and it happened to be sprinkled on the male protagonist. A strange change occurred on the male protagonist. A few days later, he actually had the ability to transform and could turn into a half-human and half-dragon monster with his heart.
Later.
New monsters appeared on Blue Star. These monsters seemed to be looking for that kind of potion, but they found that the potion was used by the male protagonist, so they decided to catch the male protagonist and extract the potion again.
The result is the ultimate battle.
Under the camera of global live broadcast, the male protagonist finally defeated the monster, and he became the first superhero in the history of Blue Star movies. Later, many follow-up superhero movies appeared around this form, basically revolving around the male protagonist for some reason, then becoming extremely powerful, and finally saving the world.
The plot is very short!
However, this movie, which appeared thirty years ago, became very popular as soon as it was released, and sold for tens of billions of dollars in Qizhou. It was then introduced by other continents. The total box office exceeded 20 billion and is still one of the top ten movies in the history of Blue Star movies.
Because it's fresh and exciting!
It was this movie that started the wave of superhero movies, so Lao Zhou didn't find it strange to see the script of "Spider-Man", because this is a typical superhero movie, where small characters change and finally save the world.
but……
Because there are too many superhero movies, the box office of this type of movie is polarized. If you shoot well, the box office will be very popular. If you don’t shoot well, you can lose all the underwear that the film company will lose. Because most of the themes of this type of movie are not low, there have been a lot of fewer superhero movies in recent years. Everyone has to consider the risks. Now is no longer an era where you can just imitate the form of "Dragon Man".
This is Qizhou!
Blue Star Movie Hall!
Even though there is no Marvel in this world, it has superheroes similar to Marvel. Qi Ren has developed this type long ago and has made it one of the most popular movie genres on Blue Star!
For Lin Yuan.
This is mixed.
The good side is that the audience really likes superhero movies, and there is definitely no problem with the mass base. The bad side is that the audience has watched too many similar movies and is already very picky about the quality of such movies. If "Spider-Man" does not have its own characteristics, it will be difficult to impress the Blue Star audience who have watched too many superhero movies.
also……
Due to the movie "Dragon Man", Blue Star has also appeared many superhero comics, novels and even animations. However, most of the superhero novels are not very popular, but the influence of comics and animations is quite good, which is also related to superhero works relying heavily on the impact of the screen.
"so."
Lao Zhou stood up and said, "I will take the script to the film department to discuss it. I will come up with a plan, about investment, etc. If someone else wants to make a superhero movie, I will definitely not agree, but if it is you, both me and the company should have some confidence."
Lin Yuan nodded.
He couldn't give up "Spider-Man" just because Blue Star has many superhero movies. Because he also watched many superhero movies of Blue Star, he found two problems.
The first question.
Most of the superheroes of Blue Star do not pay attention to the character creation. The protagonist has certain stereotypes. Basically, an ordinary person has been adventured. The movie likes to emphasize the powerful side of ordinary people after they transform, but ignores the protagonist's side as an ordinary person.
Of course this is relative.
There are also some superhero movies that take some thought to portray the protagonist, but it seems that it is not very successful, and even if it is successful, it will not have a wide impact.
The second question.
Blue Star’s superhero movies do not adopt the Marvel linkage mode on Earth. Even if the second movie of similar superhero movies is filmed, it is just a monster to fight. There are few cases where different superheroes are in the same frame.
This is Lin Yuan’s advantage.
He needs to grasp it well.
