The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 525 The Magic Reform of "Dynasty"
"It's too windy!"

"Quick! Grab each other, don't stand alone!"

"Squat down slowly!"

Chen Jingxing was wearing cotton-padded clothes and shouted with the assistant director, someone ran to Chen Jingxing and shouted loudly: "The guide said, the wind is likely to blow for a long time, and today's filming may not be possible."

Chen Jingxing looked up at the dark sky, nodded sharply, and said loudly through the wireless earphones: "OK, work is over today, everyone will follow Director Yan's instructions and retreat to the tent in an orderly manner, and a helicopter will come over in half an hour. Take us back to the hotel."

On the spectacular glaciers, the endless whiteness is dotted with black marble-like ice. The volcanic ash that has fallen for thousands of years and the eroded rocks created by the glaciers together form an exotic, even alien planet-like scene.

It's just that the crew of "Interstellar" had no intention of admiring the magnificent scenery in front of them. The howling wind urged everyone to move slowly towards the tent hand in hand.

The strong wind caused the temperature of Iceland's wasteland glaciers to drop to about minus ten degrees in a short period of time. It is hard to imagine that this is actually summer.

Of course, it is also fortunate that it is in summer, otherwise in winter, there will only be 4 hours of daylight a day, and the shooting progress will probably be delayed to the point where the rich and powerful DreamWorks cannot bear it.

However, the extreme daylight in summer could not allow the crew to finish filming this scene quickly, and strong winds would interrupt the entire shooting from time to time. Even if Chen Jingxing hired a local mountain guide, it was still difficult to figure out the law of the strong winds. Less than five hours.

After finally entering one of the tents, turning on the light, and listening to the sound of the wind hitting the tent outside, I was both worried and irritated.

Of course, the tent is actually very stable.

The tent was not set up on the endless ice bed, because the ice will melt and move, and there may be a change of ten centimeters overnight, so it was set up on the rocks deposited with thick volcanic ash, so there is still a distance from the shooting site distance.

The generator cannot be used, but the crew brought lithium batteries, which are more than enough to supplement the power consumption of mobile phones, equipment, and lights.

However, in order to dispel this faint uneasiness and irritability, Chen Jingxing also chatted with Chen Kun, Lei Jiayin, Yuan Wei and others who were in the same tent.

"I feel that this ghostly place is more difficult than the Devil City in Xijiang. I don't know when I can finish shooting all the photos like this?"

Lei Jiayin has to climb and jump with the help of the spreader Wia every day, as well as action scenes with Chen Kun. Of course, it is an ordinary scuffle. After all, these two are scientists in the movie, "Interstellar" This kind of hardcore sci-fi is obviously not suitable for fancy action scenes.

Although it was just a rehearsal and test shoot, it was quite exhausting, and there was a strong wind. Walking against the gale of [-] or [-], Lei Jiayin felt that it was more difficult than shooting "The Martian".

Chen Jingxing also took a breath, and said in the humming wind: "Not long ago, Group B is also filming simultaneously in China. After we finish filming and return to China, the shooting of Group B will basically be over, and there will be only a few left at that time." Finishing work."

The hypercube scene has already been filmed in domestic studios, and the storyline of Nini, the hero’s daughter on Earth in the movie, was also filmed simultaneously when Chen Jingxing brought the lead actor to Europe.

The reason why the filming cycle was rushed was that Chen Jingxing wanted to make "Interstellar" appear in next year's Spring Festival.

"I heard that DreamWorks is going to make a costume zombie drama next? The casting hasn't been decided yet?" Chen Kun asked curiously.

Although Chen Jingxing led the crew to film in Iceland, but everyone is not deaf to what is going on outside the window.

The glacial wasteland where the filming took place is naturally difficult to access the Internet, but they usually sleep in hotels, so they can access the Internet. For this reason, DreamWorks rented five helicopters to carry people and supplies. In the absence of roads, this is the best way to commute. Good idea.

Fortunately, Iceland is the country with the largest number of aircraft per capita in the world, with an average of 1.74 per [-] people, otherwise it would be really difficult to solve.

The three new dramas announced by DreamWorks have always been the focus of attention from netizens and the media. Even though it has been several months, the influence of the second season of "The Walking Dead" has not dissipated, so everyone is paying attention to DreamWorks' new dramas. It's almost as good as a movie.

Everyone can also see that DreamWorks has established a strong appeal on the Netflix platform. The domestic market is huge, but who doesn't want to get on the train of global blockbuster dramas?

And with the passage of time, more and more news are constantly being confirmed.

For example, two of these three dramas are costume dramas.

The only non-costume drama was also approved quickly, and even the leading role was selected. One is Zhao Jinmai, known as the "Little Princess of DreamWorks", the most beautiful flower after 00, and the male lead is Bai Jingting. Slightly unexpected.

Immediately afterwards, another costume drama was also approved, which turned out to be a costume zombie drama.

The theme of zombies is now overheated by "The Walking Dead", and the addition of elements of ancient costumes makes it easier to spark topics.

The combination of these two elements is indeed quite new. Some feel that it is unreliable, thinking that this is hype following the trend, and some think that the script and production level of DreamWorks are still trustworthy.

It's getting pretty hot online.

The main reason is that I don’t know which marketing account came from, saying that Netflix is ​​jealous of DreamWorks’ benefits from "The Walking Dead", and there is no way to get involved in the copyright of this IP, so I want to make a zombie-themed series.

Then DreamWorks thought that this might have an impact on "The Walking Dead" and divert the audience, so it took a step back and wanted to co-produce a costume zombie drama with Netflix.

This can also explain why Netflix is ​​also the producer, isn't it because DreamWorks wants to win over this platform that promotes "The Walking Dead" to the world, and this project was established so quickly, for a large project with an investment of hundreds of millions It can be said that this is already on the line of fire.

On the one hand, I think that the original intention is not pure, and it is to appease Netflix's haste; on the other hand, I think DreamWorks is watching "The Walking Dead" so popular, and I follow the trend myself, and I am suspected of consuming "The Walking Dead" while taking advantage of the popularity.

In particular, many die-hard fans of "The Walking Dead" are a little dissatisfied with DreamWorks not rushing to make a sequel, but instead set up other zombie-themed projects, and their preconceived ideas make them feel that putting zombies in ancient times is a bit out of place.

Coupled with the media hype and colleagues fanning the flames, DreamWorks' costumed zombie drama has fallen into a public opinion environment with different opinions and mixed reviews from the beginning of the project.

Of course, from the perspective of discerning people and inside DreamWorks, this wave of public opinion is closely related to Penguin Video.

Because Penguin Video also announced that it will make its own zombie drama called "City of No Owner", which just happened to collide with DreamWorks' "Dynasty" project, so it carried out the promotion of touching porcelain and controversial marketing. From the perspective of DreamWorks, this is also a win-win situation. Yes, it's good to have heat.

"The role is still undecided..."

Chen Kun looked serious: "Director, do you think there is a suitable role for me in "Dynasty"?"

Both Chen Jingxing and Lei Jiayin were a little surprised.

"I'm going to be the Golden Rooster Movie King soon, what are you doing?"

Chen Kun rolled his eyes at Lei Jiayin's teasing as usual: "If I don't get the Golden Rooster Best Actor next year, you have to pay me one."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to Chen Jingxing and said, "I figured it out too, and I'm already at this age. Although I look younger than Lei Zi, I'm actually seven years older than him. Although I acted in "Interstellar", even if I can get an award, so what?

Movie resources still can’t be grabbed by young people, and it’s not interesting to stick to the airs of movie actors or some first- and second-tier celebrities. It’s better to shoot more good scripts and leave some good works. This is much more real than any awards.

I still have concerns about other people's projects, but I absolutely trust Director Chen's works, including DreamWorks' dramas. "

Regardless of whether Chen Kun's words were flattering or sincere, they felt quite sincere.

Chen Jingxing thought for a while: "You can indeed play the male lead of "Dynasty", there is nothing wrong with it. Okay, after the filming is finished and I return to my country, I will send you the script. You can read it carefully. Of course, an audition is still required."

Since "Dynasty" has moved the background of Lee's Korean family from "Kingdom" to the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in ancient China, the natural story line has to be adapted a lot.

The background of "Kingdom" is that the king of Joseon is critically ill, and the palace is forbidden to enter. When the son broke in, he vaguely found a monster, and ordered his bodyguard to steal the diary of the pharmacy. He vaguely felt that there was a big conspiracy inside. The second concubine accused the son of planning a conspiracy and ordered the arrest of the son .

The eldest son fled the capital, and in order to uncover the truth about his father's illness, he embarked on a journey to find the imperial doctor, but along the way he witnessed the outbreak of zombies and the spread of the plague.

In fact, the origin of the whole story is that the courtiers of the foreign relatives made the king who died of illness into a living dead in order to continue to exercise their authority, and then the zombies broke out.

The story of the first season of "Dynasty" to be produced by DreamWorks is based on the background of Yelu Deguang leading the Khitan army to capture Kaifeng in the south, capturing Shi Chonggui, the emperor of the later Jin Dynasty, and the later Jin Dynasty after its demise.

Later, Yelu Deguang (Liao Taizong) proclaimed himself emperor in Kaifeng, and the founding country was named Daliao, but died of a serious illness.

However, Yeluhou, the great king of the Southern Academy, and Yelu Ruan, the nephew of Yelu Deguang, kept it secret. They privately summoned folk doctors to mash a kind of life and death grass, stick it on the needle, and insert it one minute deep into the Yintang point of Yelu Deguang, so as to "resurrect" him. Corpse - of course, this kind of living dead has no sanity.

Because Yelv Deguang's son Yelvjing stayed in Shangjing and was not in Kaifeng, once the news of Yelv Deguang's death was exposed, Yelvjing could directly ascend the throne in Shangjing and grasp the righteousness.

Then Yelu Deguang killed a young eunuch from the later Jin imperial palace beside him, and the body of the young eunuch was thrown out of the city.

However, when Yelu Deguang was at war with the later Jin Dynasty, "Many people and animals died, and the people of the country hated it." After occupying Tokyo, they even plundered.

The war and the massacre of alien races made the people of the Central Plains miserable, and the famine was next to the famine.

Therefore, the corpses of the little eunuchs who were sent out of the city were eaten by the refugees, and all of them were infected into walking dead.

Then the whole story unfolds from there.

The male protagonist was changed from the Prince Wang in "Kingdom" to Guo Rong (Chai Rong), the adopted son of Guo Jian's son, the governor of Shunzhou.

As the adopted son of a general, Guo Rong found an opportunity to escape from Kaifeng after Jin occupied Kaifeng after the fall of the Liao Kingdom, and then experienced an outbreak of zombies on the way.

Of course, these are all character prototypes, but the name will naturally be changed in the play.

After all, it is a zombie drama and cannot be confused with a historical drama. The "Kingdom" in the previous life plane also changed the historical prototype.

And there is nothing inappropriate for Chen Kun to play such a hero, from fame to ancient costumes, he is good.
