Chapter 565: .Monster's Love


As we all know, a major difficulty in monster movies is how to portray these giants. After all, they can't speak. To create a lively image can only be done through physical movements, but this is very difficult.
Therefore, the vast majority of monster movies are popcorn movies.
But "King Kong" is different. In this story, the monster is given more things.
Of course, for many Hollywood movies from previous lives, Wang Yifan is naturally impossible to copy. After all, the environment is different, so most of them will be localized.
"King Kong" is no exception, of course, the core is still the same.
After Chen Shaojun opened the script, he fell into the plot and couldn't help himself.
Actress Xu Yan increasingly feels that she is in a low period of career, life is mostly frustrated and unhappy, and at this time, an ambitious filmmaker brings her luck, she will become the latest movie The lead actor of the film, and the film will be completed on Skull Island. Xu Yan hopes that this paradise-like Skull Island will bring her a journey full of excitement and excitement.
Monster movies usually have three stages. The first stage is appearance!
Since a monster is called a monster, then naturally, it is an abnormal species, so it needs to find a source for it.
"King Kong" is no exception.
So accident and accident. The crew ship eventually ran aground at their destination, Skull Island.
But before the producer was excited to start his own giant shooting, a group of aboriginal wild men's crazy attack killed several members, and finally escaped from the wild man's claws and set sail, but the petite Xu Yan was captured.
It turns out that Skull Island is as good as its name!
It's a dangerous place. Needless to say, the uncivilized and barbaric natives, all kinds of terrifying beasts live on this island. In order to save Xu Yan, everyone has to return to sail.
Xu Yan, who was sacrificed by the native savages, couldn't help screaming.
This scream unexpectedly attracted the "attention" of King Kong, the overlord of Skull Island. This huge legendary orangutan, who is afraid of even the most fierce beast on the island, is in love with it. However, it will not know. But this is the beginning of its tragic fate. King Kong was later caught in the city.
In order to take Xu Yan to see the beautiful sunrise again, she once said that she climbed up to the Pearl Tower and plunged herself into the predicament of fighting with the army. It launched the final battle with human aircraft. After defeating countless aircraft, it Exhausted, he fell off the Pearl Tower and wrote the last tragic song for his lover.
The second stage of the monster movie is destruction.
The same is true of "King Kong", except that, unlike other monster movies, which are naturally destroyed for destruction and destruction for destruction, the destruction of "King Kong" is actually forced to be helpless.
In the final stage, humans have defeated monsters, but "King Kong" is different. Here, even it is justice and humans, to some extent, have become villains.
So, this is a non-mainstream monster movie that is different from mainstream monster movies.
What's more rare is that this movie fits Chen Shaojun's ideas too well.
This is a monster version of the hero sad beauty level!
Climbing the Pearl Building to fly a plane for your beloved woman?
"King Kong" is an absolutely different kind of monster movie.
Because whether it is the monster movies in the West or the monster series that caused a huge sensation in China in the early days, they generally brought disasters and are horror movies, but this "King Kong" is a monster movie. Heterogeneous.
This is actually a "love movie!" in the skin of a monster!
The love between humans and beasts gave Chen Shaojun a feeling of being hit by scratching his head.
There is no mistake, he is such a heavy-taste male silver!
"However, if this movie really wants to produce the kind of effect mentioned in the script, one year is probably not enough." Chen Shaojun frowned again.
Wang Yifan nodded and said: "It's not enough, but if you want a good product, you need time to polish it. In terms of special effects, Aurora also has a deep dive in monster movies. In fact, in recent years, monster movies have come out. There are not many."
When making a monster movie, many people think, isn’t it just a model of a monster? Then design some actions, capture and so on.
But in fact, how can it be so simple?
First of all, you want to bring the monster to life, so first of all, you have to have a reference object, right?
For example, "King Kong", it is a gorilla, so many of his actions need to refer to the behavior and habits of real gorillas, and then make appropriate modifications, and these can not be achieved overnight.
In addition, there is not only a monster like King Kong in "King Kong", there are also many monsters, various dinosaurs, monsters, etc. on Skull Island, these can not be perfunctory, so the special effects need time And the cost naturally rises geometrically.
The most important element of a monster movie is visual special effects. There is no one.
After all, if a monster movie looks "too fake", no matter how good the script is, I am afraid the audience will not have the heart to watch it anymore.
So this kind of movie needs a lot of effort in terms of scenes and visual effects.
King Kong itself is one aspect, and the primitive ecology of Skull Island where King Kong is located is also one aspect.
Skull Island is definitely a mysterious and scary place in the movie, so you have to show the audience this effect, so other kinds of monsters are indispensable.
For this reason, Chen Shaojun estimated that it would take a long time to work hard to make this movie well.
"Okay, let's go, make a budget and ask Chen Hanming by myself, I don't care, I have a lot of business." Wang Yifan drove people directly.
Of course, for Chen Shaojun, Wang Yifan is also very much looking forward to. If this guy can really make "King Kong" well, he will definitely become the first person in a Chinese monster movie.
This is not a joke, the current monster movies in China are almost blank.
Of course, it's not that there is no such thing, but that there is no such a big monster movie.
However, the premise is that Chen Shaojun can make this movie well.
The difficulty of shooting and producing commercial blockbusters can definitely beat those literary and artistic movies, because the difficulty between the two is completely two-dimensional.
For example, in monster movies, the director needs to do more.
You have to maintain communication with the special effects company and cooperate to produce the desired effects. Then, the production of special effects, especially monster movies like "King Kong", is also a considerable test for the director when shooting.
And many tedious tasks need Chen Shaojun to do.
"King Kong" has a long way to go if you want to make it well!
Of course, as long as the filming is done, even if the effect is not as good as the previous life, as long as the effect is 80% and placed in the domestic film market, Wang Yifan can guarantee that Chen Shaojun is a great director.
