Chapter eight hundred and fifty fifth black-hearted capitalist
"Allen, it's impossible for the movie to completely copy the game's settings.%"
Walking in the Industrial Light and Magic factory, Ryan said to Blizzard CEO Alan Adhan, who came here specifically, "This video is from novels and games, but copying the game will only turn into a disaster."
"But in the script..." Alan Adhan was obviously not very satisfied with Ryan's script. "The tribe not only became a complete villain, but even did not participate in the final battle of Ice Crown Fortress."
"This is a movie!"
Ryan had the urge to cover his forehead. No wonder some people always say that the tribe is Blizzard's own son. "The length of the video is limited and it is impossible to cover everything. Moreover, the protagonist is Arthas Minerhill, which focuses on the story of the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the Deadly Scourge. We cannot spend a lot of space to shape the characters of the tribe."
"All right."
In fact, Alan Adhan also knew that he was just an amateur for the movies, but he was not willing to let the tribe just make a fuss.
Even if Alan Adhan came to see him personally, Ryan would not change his mind. As he said, the movie could not be stuffed in so many heroes like novels and games. The protagonist of this film is Alsace, and the supporting role outside the protagonist is also mainly used to shape the people around Alsace.
Instead of letting the completely stereotypical tribe come out and make a soy sauce, it is better to just act as a background.
"Allen, this is just the opening work of the movie."
When he walked into the prop warehouse, Ryan continued to say to him, "If the trilogy can succeed, we can make it into a series like "X-Men", like "The X-Men", which can continue to be derived."
"If the trilogy can succeed," Alan Adhan said quickly, "I hope Thal can go to the big screen."
Sure enough, the tribe is Blizzard's biological son.
When Ryan heard the other party's words, he could only sigh like this, but these are things that will happen in the future. If the current trilogy cannot succeed, the so-called extension is just a delusion.
"There are props designed by Industrial Light and Magic for movies."
The huge warehouse was filled with sword armor, and even some 'skeleton racks', Ryan pointed casually, "Allen, you can look around. Most of the designs borrowed from the weapons in the game, but they were not that complicated."
Those gorgeously shaped weapons can appear in the game. But in the movie, it is a disaster. The designers of Industrial Light and Magic have reduced them to a certain extent on the basis of maintaining the characteristics of the game props, making them look more like weapons for combat rather than gorgeous decorations.
"Hi Nat."
Let the Industrial Light Magic accompany Alan Adhan, Ryan walk directly to the innermost part of the warehouse and find Natalie who is checking the props. "How does it feel?"
"Yeah, it's not bad." Natalie put down the helmet of the dominance in her hand, "See these props, here is mine..."
She pointed to her forehead. "Many pictures were automatically generated."
"How is your storyboard draft?" Ryan took his weapon from the shelf and tried the weight. Although it was not very heavy, he did not feel light. "Do you need my help?"
Natalie shook her head, "Don't worry, it won't delay the video boot."
The preparation period for the film is as long as half a year. Whether it is Natalie, as the director or Industrial Light and Magic, who contracted special effects, it takes time to prepare for the filming of the film.
This is a super-major production with a production cost of up to $150 million, not a small production with investment of tens of millions or even millions of dollars.
Although successful examples of game movies are very rare, Disney has prepared huge sums of money for the movie.
Waving the power of Minaihil in his hand, Ryan put it back, and then picked up the Frost Sadness from the other side. This was made of aluminum alloy and the weight was far less heavy than it seemed.
Of course, this is just a concept version, after all, this sword will not appear in the first part of the film.
Today's Industrial Light and Magic belongs to Walt Disney. Although its profitability can only be considered average, it is an indispensable and even a key part of the film production. After acquiring Lucas Pictures, it also made up for the last shortcomings of the entire group. Disney's future films can be produced and sold by themselves.
This time, Ryan and Natalie checked the preliminary preparation progress of Industrial Light and Magic. After checking the props, they went to the special effects production department. Some clips that only rely on CG images were made. After Natalie provided the storyboard draft and general ideas, Industrial Light and Magic had already started the preliminary design.
Overall, the preliminary preparations for Industrial Light and Magic were very reassuring. Ryan and Natalie did not stay for too long and left San Francisco by car.
“To make Northrend’s snow scene…”
In the car I went back, Natalie was still discussing the crew's work with Ryan. "The special effects team of Industrial Light and Magic went to Greenland and the Arctic to film some time ago. I don't plan to shoot snow scenes on the spot. This part will be synthesized by CG."
"You are the director." Ryan had no intention of objection. Like Natalie today, he could only be considered an outsider in the director industry. "You have the final say in the specific shooting."
"Morick has gone to Australia." Natalie mentioned the film's executive producer, "supervising the studio scenes of Warner Movie World. If nothing unexpected happens, we can start shooting around February next year."
"Um."
Ryan nodded and suddenly thought of another important question, "Nate, where is the actor?"
"The special effects of the film are the focus of cost." Natalie obviously considered it very clearly. "The crew has a limited budget for actor compensation, and there is also a $20 million to pay for you. Therefore, in addition to the male and female protagonists, Julis and I don't plan to invite first-line actors."
“It was a wise decision.”
The era of relying on stars to attract box office has long passed. Just look at Depp's five consecutive shots outside of "Pirates of the Caribbean". Ryan agrees with Natalie and Julius's ideas very much.
"The highlight of the film is not the actors' performance, and we don't need to invite actors with excellent acting skills at high salaries."
After being with Ryan for so many years, Natalie certainly understood what the selling point of this kind of film is, "As long as their acting foundation can pass."
"Then..." Ryan pinched his chin and asked, "Where is the heroine? I have auditions twice, are there anyone I like?"
"have……"
Hearing Natalie's hesitation voice, Ryan made a gesture of asking for help.
"Julice and I both agree with Gayle."
Speaking of this, Natalie sighed helplessly, "Silvanas? The character of Wind Walker, Alison wants..."
"She?" Ryan frowned, "Is she serious?"
"Of course!" Natalie gave him a pair of eyes. "Alison's acting skills are very average, the three Wind Walker sisters set in the role are just vases, and Sylvanas doesn't have many scenes. I think she should be able to handle it."
"If you and Julius agree," Ryan had no good idea of Taylor, and it was not a role that required acting skills, "I have no objection."
"I think Alison will be happy." Natalie suddenly sighed, "Although she never says it, I can actually see that she always wants to work with you."
"Is Gale's schedule suitable?" Ryan asked the heroine again.
"Avengers" was a big success, and Warner Bros. and DC Comics were naturally unwilling to fall behind. "Green Lantern" and the new "Superman" series are being produced, and "Justice League" has also been put on the agenda. As the most successful DC movie character in the new century, Wonder Woman will have a series of guest appearances next to connect the entire Justice League.
"Galle and Warner Bros. have coordinated." Natalie was obviously prepared for a long time, "the schedule is not a problem."
After experiencing the vicious competition between News Corporation and Walt Disney, the five major media groups have resumed the trend of both competition and cooperation. However, the split News Corporation and Fox Group both withdrew from the top five, and Conscart has become the latest bottom five.
The Rolls-Royce RV drove directly to North Hollywood and soon stopped in front of Natalie's house.
"I'm getting off the car."
Natalie kissed Ryan on the face, "I'm going to Australia tomorrow. If you have any questions here, Ryan, you can contact Julis."
"Dear." Ryan reached out to open the car door for her, "Why do I feel like you are the boss?"
"Because I'm the director!" Natalie got out of the car and turned around and waved, "So you have to listen to me."
Say goodbye to Natalie, Ryan did not stop in North Hollywood, and ordered the driver to go back to the Disney Building in Burbank and pick up Sandy with Taylor from Disney Animation Studio.
"Dad, Dad..."
After getting in the car, Sandy came close to Ryan and kept saying, "I'm watching a movie with my sister. That princess is so beautiful."
"Elsa." Taylor opposite explained.
"Well, it's her!" Sandy nodded hurriedly, "The castle she built and her skirt are so beautiful, I want it too."
Seeing his daughter's look like she liked it very much, Ryan seemed to see Taylor's childhood.
Taylor pointed to several handbags around her, "These are limited edition products of "Ice and Snow Adventure", which I specially made for Sunny."
"See Sunny..." Taylor hugged Sandy and kissed her forehead, "I just thought of me before."
"Before?" Sandy asked curiously with her big blue eyes, "What did my sister look like when she was a child."
"As naughty as you."
After reaching out and rubbing his daughter's blonde hair, Ryan asked Taylor, "The video is about to be released, remember to adjust the schedule."
"A bad-hearted capitalist." Taylor muttered deliberately, "I don't even let my sister go." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
