What are the prospects?
The original powder is expected to be made into China’s The Lord of the Rings.
In a list of writers released at the end of March, fantasy literature exploded, and fantasy writers occupied the top four seats in the top 10 list. Jiangnan, the author of Dragon, topped the summit again, with Leo Phantom, the author of Charles IX, ranking second, and Zheng Yuanjie, the "fairy tale king". It is a worldwide phenomenon that fantasy works sell best. For example, in Europe and America, the best-selling books are The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.
General Chen Jia is the producer of "The Legend of the Pearl". In an interview with the media, he once said: "The Kyushu series is so precise and meticulously developed. I was very shocked after seeing it. This has never happened before." He is very confident in the film and television of Kyushu, because behind him is a "powerful ‘ Kyushu fans ’ Team "to make this film. "I attach great importance to localized things, and I look forward to ‘ Kyushu ’ I can go overseas and expect overseas people to see that we China people also have a fantasy world. "
The original team is both looking forward to and worried.
The original team of "Kyushu" novels is both looking forward to and worried about the film. Pan Haitian said that the works of the "Creators" for more than ten years can finally be made into movies, and I am looking forward to it; On the other hand, I am also worried that the increasing hardcore fans of Kyushu for more than ten years will be dissatisfied with the film. For Jin Hezhen and Tang Que, they are very much looking forward to their own novels being adapted, which not only have enough voice, but also have a professional screenwriter team to create together.
Some netizens said that there are The Lord of the Rings abroad, we have Kyushu World, Harry Potter abroad, and now we also have Dragon. There are many great authors and works full of oriental imagination in China, and all we need is the big environment and industrial chain to keep up.
The road to exploration is bound to be difficult.
The road to exploration is bound to be difficult. Some netizens said: "The fantasy world of the East should be based on the oriental culture, otherwise it will be rootless and unsustainable." Novels are like this, and so are film and television dramas.
The greatness of a work lies in that the world he creates can make the audience and readers want to stop, and Kyushu is like this. In the eyes of many fans of the original novel, the "Kyushu" series is likely to rival the works of the same level as The Lord of the Rings. After the early-adopter version of "The Story of the Sea Pasturing Clouds in Kyushu" was broadcast, some netizens said: "Although the authors of Kyushu series are different, the quality of the works is also mixed, and the copyright has been sold to different companies, I still hope to make China’s The Lord of the Rings and fire and ice through post-processing of film and television." Many netizens also put forward expectations for the film and television of "Kyushu": "I hope to respect the original work, the actors are superb, and the special effects are worthy of the conscience of the industry."
Shan Hai Jing, an ancient book before Qin Dynasty, became a super IP.
Hold up half of the fantasy Xianxia film and television drama
At present, the large-scale fantasy idol drama "The Legend of the Red Shadow of Shan Hai Jing" starring Hans Zhang and Gulnazar is being broadcasted on Hunan Satellite TV. Because it is based on the ancient legend "Shan Hai Jing", the play has attracted countless eyes since the beginning of shooting. In fact, with the inspiration of ancient books, Shan Hai Jing has become a typical super IP.
The TV series The Legend of the Red Shadow of Shan Hai Jing is based on Shan Hai Jing, and the most difficult thing to shoot this drama is to restore the scenes and monsters in the book. To this end, The Legend of the Red Shadow of the Classic of Mountains and Seas spared no expense to set up nearly a thousand different scenes, including the ethereal and fantastic ancient fairyland Taiping Palace, the magnificent palaces of the two countries and the battlefields of Qinglong and Suzaku, which were presented to the audience through the combination of real scenes and stunts. Although the lines and special effects of the play were spit out, it did not affect its popularity.
The movie "to the sky kingdom" has been finished, and the TV series is also in the hot shoot. The story also originated from Shan Hai Jing. The author Tang Qigongzi has always had a strong interest in ancient fairy tales. "Readers who have read to the sky kingdom can probably find some things in Shan Hai Jing, and I remember an enthusiastic reader picking out the place names, names and allusions involved in Shan Hai Jing one by one. I liked ancient fairy tales since I was a child. Later, I thought it would be fun to write a story by myself in this background, so I started writing. " Qingqiu in to the sky kingdom is a place name in Shan Hai Jing, also known as Qingqiu Country and Qingqiu Mountain, which has also been mentioned in documents such as Beginners’ Notes and Taiping Yulan in the Tang Dynasty. Qingqiu is an extremely rare and revered ancient god among the eight famines in the four seas — — Bai Qian, the heroine of the country ruled by the white fox with nine tails, is the daughter of the white emperor of the white fox family with nine tails. In this paper, besides the white emperor’s family, there are some immortals living in Qingqiu, such as the ancient tree fairy, the pine fairy, and the mountain beast like the gray wolf.
Last summer vacation, the TV series Hua Qiangu starring Zhao Liying and Wallace Huo once again set off a "Xianxia style", and many elements in the drama came from Shan Hai Jing. For example, the main places where the story happened are Changliu Mountain, Shushan, headed by Hua Qiangu, Shifang Artifact, Penglai, a hometown full of neon, and so on. It can be said that all the secrets of Hua Qiangu are in Shan Hai Jing.
In fact, as early as in many previous film and television dramas, the elements in Shan Hai Jing are not uncommon. The so-called "Where Xianxia is bound to be a mountain, there is no green hill and no fox." The Six Boundaries in The Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man, swords of legends’s Yi and the Prince’s Changqin, Baili Tusu’s Xing Yun’s Ming Bird, Tsui Hark’s movie The Legend of Shushan, Stephen Chow’s Journey to the West to Demon the prototype of Pig and Friar Sand, and the villain Big BOSS Chaos &hellip in The Return of the Great Sage; … These are all from Shan Hai Jing, or have drawn inspiration from it. It can be said that a "Shan Hai Jing" has propped up more than half of the domestic fairy fantasy works.
Head comment
Can film and television dramas feed back the original novels?
Zhang suqin
The world of "Kyushu" began in 2002. The first seven authors, Jiangnan, Now Where, Pan Haitian, Remote Control, Miscellaneous Affairs, Saddle Cutting and Bubble, set the basic rules, geography and race of "Kyushu". Since then, with the birth and popularity of many works, the influence of "Kyushu" has been growing. However, the original authors have conflicts in company operation and world outlook setting. In 2007, Jiangnan went north to make their own magazines, and "Kyushu" split into "Northern Kyushu" and "Southern Kyushu". After that, the "Kyushu" series of works turned from prosperity to decline, and its decline once made fans sigh.
After many years, the "Kyushu" series has returned with the strength of film and television. Fans of the original novels are mostly looking forward to the film and television of the novel. They love Kyushu, the magical world of the East, and naturally hope to show it from multiple angles and see it from multiple channels.
At the same time, "Kyushu" film and television also undertakes the responsibility of circle new powder. The production of film and television plays has a great effect on the propaganda and dissemination of the original novel, which provides rich possibilities for the reconstruction of the original novel and will probably promote the original novel to become popular again.
Therefore, several fantasy works currently being produced are very important. If they are done well, they may be China’s version of The Lord of the Rings. If they are not done well, they may be a splash. Waste of the structure of "Kyushu" will hurt fans in the original world, and the film and television of the following "Kyushu" works will inevitably be affected, which will hinder the return of "Kyushu".
