Vol 2 Chapter 589: Fairy Sword Trilogy

The 589th chapter fairy sword trilogy

When Half-Life 2 and Unreal Tournament 2 were "beating" for the title of the best single-player first-person shooter game of the year, Lin Feng summoned Li Yongjin, the president of Daewoo Information.

"Mr. Li, I think you should be very clear about the purpose of looking for you. I want to invest in filming the Legend of the Sword and the Fairy. I wonder if you have any good suggestions?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Li Yongjin was excited when he heard that Lin Feng was really going to shoot the Legend of the Sword and the Fairy. The Legend of Sword and Fairy is not only the best masterpiece of Chinese-made games for all game lovers, but also has an irreplaceable position in the mind of the planner Li Yongjin.

Male lead: Li Xiaoyao, female lead: Zhao Ling'er, Lin Yueru, Anu, these four protagonists had devoted all of Li Yongjin's efforts at the beginning.

In order to portray these four protagonists, Li Yongjin and several game planners spent weeks forgetting to sleep and eat, constantly revising the game settings, and constantly revising the appearance, personality, and characteristics of their characters. When the final characters are formed, Li Yongjin will be included. Several of the game planners fainted and were almost taken to the hospital. However, because of this, the Legend of Sword and Fairy, known as the masterpiece of the domestic stand-alone game.

In China, where the piracy market is extremely serious, the dos version of Legend of Sword and Fairy sold 540,000 sets, and the win95 version was later released, and 660,000 sets were sold again, excluding the subsequent 98 tender version and Japanese version. China's Legend of Sword and Fairy has sold more than 1.2 million sets, creating a sales miracle for domestic stand-alone games.

This performance is really not worth mentioning for the game markets in Japan, Europe and the United States, but in China, it is enough to make Li Yongjin proud. It is also by virtue of Legend of Sword and Fairy that Daewoo Information has become the best computer stand-alone game company in China.

Moreover, according to incomplete statistics, the number of times the Legend of the Sword and the Fairy Man has been downloaded on major domestic download sites has exceeded 50 million. At its peak, there were 20 million computer hard drives in the country with the game of the Legend of the Sword and the Fairy. This is definitely An amazing data. In particular, when the Legend of the Sword and the Fairy was launched, most people in China did not have a computer at home, and most of them were playing the Legend of the Sword and the Fairy in Internet cafes. Counting this ratio, the real data should be at least tripled.

Today, Lin Feng wants to make it into a movie, which is naturally a good thing for Li Yongjin. But at the same time I am also worried about whether this boutique will be destroyed.

"Haha, President Li, don't worry, I will never ruin your masterpiece of carefully made domestic games." Li Yongjin's hesitation in the eyes of Lin Feng was clear at a glance, and said with a chuckle.

"Boss, I also believe you have this ability, but if you want to shoot the Legend of the Sword and the Fairy, in addition to the excellent film adaptation script and suitable actors, the most important thing is the special effects. The Legend of the Fairy and the Sword belongs to the Oriental fantasy category. There are a lot of special effects in the game. If it can't be shot, the whole movie will undoubtedly lose its color. But if you want to make it, I'm afraid this investment aspect..." Li Yongjin said in a tangle.

Now the best movie special effects are naturally in Hollywood, but if you want to make Hollywood-like movie special effects, the production cost is definitely not low. For example, the Titanic in 1997, the special effects are shocking, but the corresponding cost is also very high. The cost of post-production computer special effects can easily cost tens of millions of dollars, which is not the price that domestic film companies can afford.

Lin Feng smiled when he heard it.

"Mr. Li, rest assured, I have found a very good special effects team in Hollywood, USA to be responsible for the post-production special effects of the Condor Heroes. They will also be responsible for the special effects processing of the Legend of Sword and Fairy. As for the funding, you don't have to think about it. 100 million US dollars will be invested to shoot the Legend of the Sword and Fairy." Lin Feng sighed.

With an investment of 100 million yuan to shoot the Legend of Condor Heroes, Lin Feng believes that with the current cast and special effects processing in the later stage, the cost can still be recovered. However, it is difficult to recover the cost of investing 100 million US dollars to shoot Legend of Sword and Fairy. No matter how good the filming is, the level of the domestic consumer market determines that Chinese people cannot be completely like American audiences. You can watch a movie several times, as long as you feel good-looking, you can watch it over and over again.

After all, in terms of the ratio of Americans’ income to the price of movie tickets, a movie ticket accounts for only 4% of the average American’s monthly income, 2.5/1000. In China, developed cities are similar to Shanghai and Beijing. Wait for it. The current average salary is about 3,500 yuan. A movie ticket is 50 yuan, which accounts for 1.4% of the salary, which is 5.6 times more expensive than Americans watching movies. This is still a developed city, but in an underdeveloped city, the price of a movie ticket is almost the same, and the ratio will be 20 times more expensive than that of Americans watching movies. This gap is destined for Lin Feng to invest 100 million US dollars to film The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

Although the investment of 100 million US dollars, I am afraid that the chance of losing money is very great in the end. But for Lin Feng, The Legend of the Sword and the Fairy is an eternal memory, an eternal classic. Now that he has money, he naturally wants to shoot it as perfect as possible. Even if you lose money, you have to shoot.

Isn't it just $100 million? I'm losing money.

Li Yongjin was speechless for Lin Feng's boldness. While lamenting Lin Feng's boldness, he was also happy for the Legend of Sword and Fairy, at least not to spoil the play this time. Of course, for all fans of the Legend of Sword and Fairy Game, this is also extremely good news. Their many years of wish will eventually become a reality.

When the news came out, it naturally aroused heated discussion and sought after by hundreds of millions of fans of Legend of Sword and Fairy.

The player "Frost Nightwing" was surprised to say-The Legend of the Sword and the Fairy is finally about to be adapted into a movie, and the classic that once made us dream of is finally about to become a movie. And it will invest 100 million US dollars in a large amount of money, hoping that it will not disappoint us in the end, and it will be able to make a classic that is comparable to Hollywood movies.

The player "Cats and Cats in the Moonlight Night" also sighed again and again-The Legend of the Sword and the Fairy 2 is still far away. The filming of the movie version of the Legend of the Sword and the Fairy also relieved our desire.

Among the heated discussions among many players, the script adaptation work of Legend of Sword and Fairy is in full swing. As for the role candidates for the Legend of Sword and Fairy, Lin Feng prepared to wait for the script to be perfected before starting the casting.

"Boss, this is the script sent by President Li. I have already printed it out." Lin Chiling printed out the script completed by Li Yongjin and the Taiwanese script writer and handed it to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took the script and looked at it, his brows wrinkled as he looked at it. The script of The Legend of Sword and Fairy Almost includes the main scenes, the most interesting places, and the most touching places in the game. For example, Li Xiaoyao enters and exits "Xiandao", peeping at Zhao Linger's bath and being struck by lightning, as well as the "Human Butterfly Love" in the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and the town demon tower to save Zhao Linger. Li Xiaoyao discovers Zhao Linger’s true feelings expressed by a human snake. There is also a battle with the Lord of the Moon in the future, but although there are so many classic plots, it is a pity that in Lin Feng's impression, the plot is too tight, and there is hardly any transition.

For game players, watching the Legend of Sword and Fairy Filmed according to this script can understand what the plot is saying, but for audiences who have not played the Legend of Sword and Fairy, it is not a brain to touch their heads, I don’t know what they are talking about. . And for all players of Legend of Sword and Fairy, there is no foreshadowing of such a compact plot, and it is a bit unpleasant to just look at the key plot.

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly.

"Boss, there is another script here. The one just now was written by President Li, and this one was written by a well-known Taiwanese screenwriter." Lin Chiling handed Lin Feng another script.

Lin Feng was stunned, then took a look, this book is based on the Hollywood movie tactics, a flat start, then slowly to the *, to the end of the big *. But to Lin Feng's disappointment, this script pinched out many of the exciting plots in the game, even the most touching "Human Butterfly Love" was pinched out, thinking that it had too much influence on the main storyline. And in order to be suitable for commercial operation and cost control, the game plot has also been modified to remove many mazes and other processes. This is certainly a cost saving, but it also makes the game less attractive.

"Boss, Mr. Li is still waiting for news. They want to know which script is better." Lin Chiling reminded.

Lin Feng frowned, and sighed after a long time.

"Tell them, it won't work!" Lin Feng said.

"Ah, that script..." Lin Chiling was taken aback.

"I will write the script myself." Lin Feng said.

"Old... Boss, did you write the script yourself?" Lin Zhiling stared at her with an incredible look. The man in front of him is a business wizard, does he still write scripts?

Lin Chiling kept looking up and down Lin Feng with a pair of eye-catching eyes.

"Hehe, of course. I wrote the prison escape script. I wrote the script of the Legend of Sword and Fairy. It's not a problem." Lin Feng said confidently.

Lin Chiling took a breath. She had heard of the escape from prison, and it was very popular in the United States, but she did not expect that the screenwriter was Lin Feng. This is simply incredible. On the pretty face, there is a look of worship.

"Okay, tell them, wait a few days, I will write a script." After Lin Feng ordered, he shut himself into the room, and don't disturb him if there is nothing important.

Three days later, Lin Feng took three scripts with a look of excitement and emailed them to Li Yongjin.

Before writing the script, Lin Feng considered the advantages and disadvantages of Li Yongjin's script and Taiwan's well-known screenwriters, and found that the biggest drawback of their scripts was the movie time. The play time of the two people's script is about 150 minutes. If you want to improve the script, you must extend the plot, so that the playing time of a movie is too long, and the audience will not be able to bear it. And this is also the most important reason for the pros and cons of the two scripts.

After thinking about it, Lin Feng decided to model the Lord of the Rings and make the Legend of the Sword and Fairy into three movies. The first part begins with Li Xiaoyao first meeting Zhao Ling'er and ends with "Human Butterfly Love". In the second part, Li Xiaoyao was taken to the Shushan faction after "Human Butterfly Love". It was accidentally discovered that Zhao Linger was tied to the "locking demon tower" and went to the rescue. Lin Yueru sacrificed herself to save Zhao Linger and Li Xiaoyao. The third part is the final episode. Li Xiaoyao came to Miao You, and Zhao Linger, in search of a way to save Lin Yueru, finally fought against the Lord of the Moon for the peace of Miao You.

Lin Feng has estimated that the final playing time of each movie is set at about 150 minutes, and the final shooting of the three movies will be close to 8 hours, almost on the same level as the Lord of the Rings.

The reason why Lin Feng wrote the script in this way was to see if the Legend of Sword and Fairy could compete with the Lord of the Rings.
