Shadow queen development plan

This matter is not too serious, but it is a bit troublesome.

The reason is that many European and American "Saint and the Brave" gamers have some resistance and resistance to the movie Qiye.

At the beginning, everyone was very happy when they heard that "The Saint and the Brave" would be adapted into a movie.

After all, in 2001, the brand of game change movies had not rotted.Although industry insiders are not very optimistic about travel reform movies, most fans still have considerable expectations.

Especially in the 2000 "X-Men", the success of this comic film, and the announcement of the two films "Spider-Man" that will be released in May 2002, gamers have a lot of interest in the game. High expectations.

These fans simply don't understand the difficulty gap between Mangai movies and Yougai movies. In their opinion, since the spring of Mangai movies is here, it should also be the spring for Yougai movies.

Not to mention the innocence of movie fans in 2001, even after 2010, when the reputation of game-changing movies collapsed, the news of film adaptations of popular games can still arouse the enthusiasm of many players.

In fact, Jiufeng's promotion of the "Saint and the Brave" movie is not too much. Except for the preparation of the script and the selection of co-directors at the end of 2000, he has not disclosed any information to the media except for the recruitment information in Hollywood. Up.

At that time, European and American players were still discussing the possible production lineup of "The Saint and the Brave" movie on the Internet with great interest. They hoped that Spielberg would be the director, and Tom Cruise and Natalie Portman would play the role of Brave and Saint.

It’s really a loss for this group of people to dare to think, if nothing else in this lineup, the cost of 60 million US dollars will be spent more than half of the cost.

We must know that Qiye tried her best to compress all the actors' pay in order to make the special effects as perfect as possible.

But later, because there was no more news about the movie "The Saint and the Brave", players thought that Jiufeng had cancelled the project.Although everyone regrets this result, it is not unacceptable considering the failure of the new host JGC.

But in fact, the lack of news is entirely because the people in Hollywood are too bad. The angry Jiufeng Shion directly abandoned the United States and ran back to his hometown of Japan to find the director.

Later, although Jiufeng Ziyuan found Qiye and [Erque Studio], and began to establish the film "Goblin Slayer".

But all these things happened in Japan, and Hollywood reporters who didn't pay much attention to Oriental Entertainment News didn't even know about it.

At that time, Jiufeng was not particularly optimistic about this R-rated movie, so there was no large-scale publicity after the project was established.

Except for the gossip about the casting of the movie "Saint and the Brave" in February, the amount of information about this movie from the outside world is basically zero.

Qiye originally planned to wait until the editing of his first trailer was completed before letting Jiufeng begin to promote it, because at that time the actors had already finished filming, and they could carry out large-scale publicity with the distributor without disturbing the movie. Make.

So at this time in October 2001, apart from the members of the crew of "Goblin Slayer" and the Weta studio that cooperated with it, not many people even knew the existence of this movie.

Originally Qiye’s idea was to use her own trailers to win over a group of R-rated film fans. In this way, even if the "Saint and the Brave" players are dissatisfied with the movie, some fifty cents will stand up and fight with them. You can find a way to extract the crew.

Because Qiye is very aware of the obsession of the crazy original party, even the future Marvel movie universe will be sprayed to death due to various adaptations from the original, not to mention that this game is almost completely irrelevant to the original game. Movie.

But this plan was ruined by Peter Jackson, a fat man. It's not that Peter Jackson was stumbling on "Goblin Slayer". He was totally kind to do bad things.

Because it was approaching the release of "The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings", Peter Jackson left New Zealand for North America and began to promote his "Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings".

Because he had a good impression of Qiye and his cooperation with the other party on the new special effects technology was very pleasant, Peter Jackson felt that he could help the little brother in the promotion of "Lord of the Rings".

So in an interview, when a reporter asked about Peter Jackson’s working environment in New Zealand, he said very relaxedly: “I have a great time working in New Zealand. They (the members of the cast of "The Lord of the Rings") are the most A great team, we have overcome all kinds of difficulties to create this great masterpiece."

"You should be the only foreign film shot in New Zealand?"

"Of course not." Peter Jackson replied with a smile. "In addition to us, there is a crew from Japan. We have had in-depth exchanges between the two crews. The director named Kiryu Nanya is very good at computer special effects. Research, there is a common language between the two of us."

[Japanese director?

The Hollywood reporter felt very strange about this, or rather strange.He admitted that Japan has produced a master of film art like Kurosawa Akira, but commercial films, especially computer special effects films, have anything to do with the Japanese?Aren't they still arguing about which computer or paper office is better?

"Director Jackson, take the liberty to ask, which movie did the Japanese crew shoot you?"

Peter Jackson replied with a grin: "I can't reveal too much about the specifics, but this is about the game adaptation of the well-known game "Saint and the Brave". The director is very thoughtful. He did a great job of the whole story. There are many very creative ideas in the changes, and I believe that fans all over the world will like this movie."

Peter Jackson's remarks were immediately published in Hollywood's major entertainment pages, but these entertainment magazines did not say anything good.

Originally, they were not optimistic about Peter Jackson's shooting of "The Lord of the Rings". They did not believe that this fat man from New Zealand could perfectly show the masterpiece of "The Lord of the Rings" in the form of a movie.

Of course, it is also possible that the self-esteem of Hollywood reporters is at work. After all, "The Lord of the Rings" is a recognized masterpiece, and the director of the film adaptation of such a great book is not an American.

In any case, almost all Hollywood reporters are not optimistic about this "Saint and the Brave" game change movie.

After all, the works before Seven Nights, apart from a film that is acceptable at the Japanese box office and a children's film, there are almost no works that can be obtained.

In fact, it is accurate to say that Qiye has no other works besides these two works, but the reporter's mouth...you know.

In fact, these reporters did not particularly mean to belittle Qiye, or that they did not deliberately belittle Qiye. The main object of their criticism was Peter Jackson, the director of The Lord of the Rings.After all, there is a saying called "things gather together, and people divide by groups." A director who can mix with a failed director and make friends, then he must also fail.

But there is a group who can't calm down after getting news of this incident.

"He will ruin the Hailar continent! He will ruin this great game!"

William Bonnie, a very ordinary player who is extremely enthusiastic about the "Saint and the Brave" series.

At this time, William was sitting at the desk, his pale golden brows locked tightly together, as if he had encountered an unsolvable problem.

He is a loyal player of Jiufeng. Since the original host JC, he has never missed any of Jiufeng's "Saint and the Brave" series of games. In his eyes, this series is the "Lord of the Rings" in the game industry.

Perhaps William is not a senior fan of "The Saint and the Brave". If it were not for the popular science articles on the Internet, he might not even be able to sort out the history of the "Saint and the Brave" series.

But this does not prevent him from being a hardcore game fan. From the time he was exposed to this game as a child, he was deeply attracted by the magical Hailar continent.

Now, this series has finally been put on the big screen, but William is he but he can't be happy.

In William's mind, it is so difficult for the "Saint and the Brave" series to be adapted into a movie. Even a top director like Spielberg may not be able to succeed, let alone Kiryu Nanya who has never listened to it. The director who said the name,

You must know that the story of the "Saint and the Brave" series is too long and contains too much content, which is not what a short movie can show.

Especially according to the director of Peter Jackson, that young director also made an almost subversive adaptation of the movie.

Go to his brother-in-law's adaptation!What movie can the Japanese change into?!

Especially when a certain magazine cut a screenshot of the movie "Sora no Realm" directed by Kiryu, William's anxiety became even stronger.

Although Qiye has tried his best to make "The Realm of the Sky", but due to financial constraints, the sense of cheapness in his movies cannot be avoided anyway.This situation is nothing for Japanese audiences who pay more attention to stories, but for American audiences who prefer more image performance? What kind of shit?!

Since the United States has not officially introduced "King no Kyoukai", almost no one has seen this movie.Coupled with the words of the magazine that published the screenshots, everyone regarded Kiryu Nanya as a bad film director like Uvi Bauer.

The average audience may choose to ignore the film of "The Saint and the Brave", but William is different. As a hardcore game fan, he feels that he has an obligation to maintain his classics.

"I can't sit back and watch this happen. I need to unite with more like-minded comrades. Maybe I can call on everyone to go to New Zealand to protest this random adaptation!"

So a week later, game fans from all over the United States gathered at the gate of Jiufeng's American office holding signs to protest.

As for why you didn't go directly to New Zealand?

Because the cost of crowdfunding is not enough for everyone to buy air tickets to New Zealand.

"Return me to Hailar mainland!"

"Adaptation is not random!"
