"The Sound of the Wind" is a drama with a very big difference between the original work and the movie. In the original work, Li Ningyu is *+ undercover identity, and Gu Xiaomeng is a spy agent of the Military Commission + undercover identity, but what about it in the movie? Li Ningyu became the leader of the translator team of the puppet army's bandit suppression headquarters. This is the reason why readers who have seen the original work were scolded by readers who have seen the original work at the time of the release, because Zhou Xun's protagonist's halo is too heavy, and the character "Lao Gun" that does not exist in the original text became Wu Zhiguo, which makes people who have seen the original work hate it.

Yes, it's just annoying!

Don’t think that this word is used ruthlessly, mainly because too many plots in the movie cannot stand scrutiny. Readers who have read this novel see that when watching the movie, they are completely the actors who work hard to conquer the audience with their acting skills. In fact, as a suspense film, it is too early to reveal the protagonist’s identity and the drama change, which has caused a lot of boredom to the audience.

Some people remember the story of "Eight-sided Ambush" in 2004, then the plot deduction of the suspense film Feng Sheng must be more than a little mistake, even if it is a plot adapted by Shao Yingxiong. The last murderer or person who hides his identity in the suspense film is not the starring actors, and the biggest mistake made by "Feng Sheng" is here.

But why do you still need to adapt like this?

The reason is very simple. You cannot show the scene of the military spy who survived in such a play. After all, in the original work, only Li Ningyu survived. Li Ningyu is not a positive character in the movie "The Sound of the Wind", which is related to the review issue. Secondly, the movie does not have so much time to explain too many things. The complexity of suspense dramas cannot be fully explained in such a time-limited carrier in the movie. Few movies can make suspense films perfect and make the audience feel that it is reasonable and unexpected.

Therefore, changing the crew can only simplify the plot, so that the audience can see the plot at a glance and tell the whole story very clearly. In fact, the only suspense point in the movie "The Sound of the Wind" is when Takeda can find out "Old Ghost and Old Gun". At least for the audience watching the movie, this is indeed the case.

As a result, the fun of the movie is reduced. The pleasure completely becomes how the two characters Bai Xiaonian and Jin Shenghuo died after the annoying performance.

Time limit issues and censorship issues have changed the movie. It is impossible to turn the most exciting elements of the movie into acting and some abuse of the camera. Unless the movie can be filmed according to the time limit of the TV series, the things written in the novel cannot be expressed at all.

It's like a very wonderful passage in the novel: "Some people say that they are a group of mysterious people, coming without a trace, going without a shadow, and entering everywhere; some people say that they are a group of speechless people, who can't be proclaimed if they win, cannot be explained if they fail, and oaths are silent, and heroes are speechless; some people say that they are real lies, always wearing thick veils, and even relatives who have been together for decades, they don't know their true faces in the end; some people say that they are buried truths, like roots pierced in the soil, invisible. But they are also indispensable... Yes, they have no names, only code names; no sound, only actions; no daily life, only extraordinary; no biography, only legends. They have no right to have tears. Seeing their comrades falling down in front of their eyes, they can't cry or cry. They can only be sad and silently

Miss. There are many comrades among them. They are the most talented people, well-versed in the West, and possess unique skills. Their rare charming talents and wisdom could have made them the darlings in the world of fame and fortune, but on July 1st, they had to stay away from fame and fortune and live an incognito life. They have been decades, and they will be unknown until death. No one knows, no one knows. There are still some comrades among them. They have no names in life and no one knows. Maybe only this wind knows, the rain knows, where their corpses are buried. Yes, the wind knows, the rain knows, they are willing to bring everything they have done and everything they know into the grave. But the Republic knows, the mountains and rivers of the Republic knows how the owners in the grave rewritten history in an instant, and how they use their wisdom and beliefs to create history and create this vast country..."

If you want to put this passage in the movie and shoot it in the artistic conception according to the plot, and even completely accommodate the "East Wind", "Western Wind" and "Jingfeng" in the entire novel, let alone two hours, five hours is not enough. Without ten hours of preparation and continuation and the burst that accumulated enough emotions in the end, it is completely impossible to do so. "Luxing" interprets several of these points, but that is a TV series!

What Shao Yingxiong can do is to make the movie look more reasonable and under the existing plot that can be adapted.

Before the crew of "The Sound of the Wind" started, Shao Yingxiong saw the cost of important scenes in the movie on the books. In order to create the process of Qiuzhuang's transformation from luxury, luxury and gloomy, the crew spent nearly two million on the design and production of props and scenes. For example, the main scene of the "luxury mansion", including decoration, a 13-meter-long dining table, all utensils, fireplaces and gorgeous giant chandeliers... Seeing this, he immediately became more careful and asked the translator to call the United States to ask how much it would cost to create these things with special effects. He smiled!

The scene structure is not a place where you spend a lot of money in Hollywood. The place where the special effects are burning is the rendering of the constantly changing effects of the picture. As a fixed decorative scene, "Blood and Sand" is a very good proof. If so many scenes are matched with real scenes, Hollywood must at least build a place like "College of Roman Cinema". But Hollywood does not have such a place because "Blood and Sand" is a scene made by special effects. The scenes in the play "The Sound of the Wind" are

There is not as much as "Blood and Sand", and it can even be said that compared with "Blood and Sand", the scenes of "The Sound of the Wind" are very monotonous. Many things in the special effects production are things that can be done with a set of scenes after shooting with green sets. At most, it only needs to change the angle. In this way, what is the point of investing two million to build the scene? This scene is not suitable for long-term use, and it is a waste. Considering this, Shao Yingxiong directly rejected the funds for building the scene.

Gao Qunshu was about to start his movie, but he actually encountered a big boss who regretted the money for building the scenes and removed the money for building the scenes. He found the office of the hero Hua Yi Shao Yingxiong with a little unhappy. When he entered the house, he asked with bandits: "Boss Shao, you have been in this circle for so many years. Why can't you even bear this little money now?"

This is not a question, but a sarcasm full of anger.

Shao Yingxiong in the office certainly knew why Gao Qunshu was angry. Many domestic directors still thought that special effects technology was a very fake production at a glance. The key is that this movie is not something that requires a lot of special effects. Why are you reluctant to give up money?

Shao Yingxiong naturally chose to comfort him: "Director Gao. We will have some time to turn on the computer. You can wait a few days and Hollywood will be able to make what we ask for in a few days. After it is made, you will feel that it is still not possible. I will give you the money. How about it?"

With Shao Yingxiong's promise, Gao Qunshu left his office, and Shao Yingxiong was sure that it was. Gao Qunshu would never ask for money to make the set, because he knew that this set of special effects would definitely satisfy Gao Qunshu.

Ten days later, when Gao Qunshu appeared in Shao Yingxiong's office again, the two of them were completely opposite.

"Director Gao, look at this."

A picture of Shao Yingxiong turning on the computer was showing Wang Zhiwen wearing a black uniform appearing in a magnificent villa with a cigarette in his hand. Behind him was a dining table that was completely in line with Gao Qunshu's fantasy. The dining table was surrounded by a white tablecloth, and candlesticks were lit on the table, and fruits, vegetables, jams and other items were slowed down in the middle. There were even old Eastern style wine jars and old Western style wine bottles on the table. In Gao Qunshu's impression, this was the "luxury mansion from the Republic of China". But wasn't this scene not built? What made Gao Qunshu feel even more satisfied was that in such an environment, Wang Zhiwen held a filterless cigarette in his fingers, hugged his elbow and leaned against the dining table with his hips, and could not see any falsehood at all.

The key is that he knew this photo of Wang Zhiwen so well. This was the final makeup photo he took for Wang Zhiwen by himself. However, this photo should have been taken in the studio. At that time, Wang Zhiwen relied on a chair in the studio. The background at that time happened to be a large green cloth.

Can Gao Qunshu not be satisfied? When he was about to build the set, he participated in the design of the set. Shao Yingxiong took this drawing to the Hollywood Special Effects Company to create the scene, which means that this is what Gao Qunshu wants. The only difference is that the colors and light and shadow effects in some details are different. That's all.

"This..." The fusion of false scenes and photos surprised Gao Qunshu. His eyes looked at the computer and could not say anything at all!

"This is the effect produced by a very small special effects company in Hollywood. Not only this one, but also the underground cell in the entire Qiufu villa, you see." Shao Yingxiong opened another photo. The photo was exactly the same Wang Zhiwen, but the position he leaned against became the handle on the electric torture chair. In the same posture, he held his elbows and also had cigarettes in his hand... There were various detentions in other parts of the prison, including whips, handcuffs, and stoves with raging fire. There were several soldering irons on the stove; when the next photo was to be an old-fashioned sliding door elevator and a very black corridor. Everything in the photo was designed by Gao Qunshu himself, but these things had become real scenes without his participation. The photos were placed in the computer.

Gao Qunshu originally thought that Shao Yingxiong wanted to use the set he learned in Hollywood to experiment with the movie "The Sound of the Wind", which made him hate it, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Boss Shao, can the light and shadow effects of these photos be adjusted?" Gao Qunshu asked a very professional question as a filmmaker. The light and shadow effects represent the concept of time in the movie. For example, if the sunlight in the house is a little red, it should be dusk. If there is a little blue, it should be early morning, which has a very clear hint of time for the audience.

Shao Yingxiong explained in detail: "For them, these are very simple, just as simple as using shop to modify the colors. No matter what you want, I guarantee they can satisfy you."

"Director Gao, now we are only seeing sample films. You guess after we finished filming, we sent the green set shots shot in the studio to Hollywood. How much does the production cost they quoted for us?" When Gao Qunshu looked at us with inquiring eyes, Shao Yingxiong stretched out two fingers and said, "200,000 US dollars, 200,000 US dollars can make our actors appear in such scenes, and we can save a lot of money." The 200,000 US dollars is already a high price. The fewer scenes in the entire movie of "The Sound of the Wind" caused this price to appear. In fact, there are not many scenes that the special effects company needs to produce. In the movie, Li Ningyu works in the factory at the end and shots outside the Qiu Mansion are more cost-effective. Only the most useful internal lens of Qiu Mansion uses green sets.

When Gao Qunshu heard the price, his whole face said 'unbelievable'!

"After the movie is finished, I will go there myself and tell them which scene each should be placed in which scene according to the plot we filmed... You can also go with me, after all, you are the director of this drama."

When Shao Yingxiong said this, Gao Qunshu was speechless. He was a director who had been shooting in real scenes for a long time. The sudden change made him feel uncomfortable. What was even more unaccustomed to was that Xiao Shao was supported by himself before he could return to this industry, but now he knows more than you.

"Can actors get used to shooting in green sets?"

After hearing Gao Qunshu's last question, Shao Yingxiong also thought of this question. Our actors can shoot opponents without a partner, but they don't even have scenes. This tests too much for acting skills: "If you don't get used to it, you have to get used to it. In the future, we can't continue to use real scenes and special effects to confront it. Hollywood has begun to give up real scenes in the cinema on a large scale, and we are still using cinemas as real scene shooting venues and tourist attractions. If this continues, we will never keep up with the changes of the times."

Next, Shao Yingxiong's plan is to establish the first special effects studio in China, and to create his own special effects "showroom area" with the introduction of advanced Hollywood equipment and talents. In the future, if you still shoot a movie like "The Golden Armor in the City", there is no need to spend a lot of money to set up the scene. You just need to tell the technicians what kind of scene you want, and the artist will draw the scene and hand it over to the technicians to make it.
