Chapter 428 Changes to Wonderful Night 2
After having the structure and theme, the only thing left is how to fill it in.
Lu Ping'an already had a plan.
The first step is the simplest.
That is to replace the characters that appeared in the original "Wonderful Night 2" one by one.
First, the positive characters.
The ones in the first part should not be changed.
The reckless general George Custer who appeared in the second part can be replaced by a new funny guy.
For example, Li Bai.
The young Li Bai was in high spirits and unruly, and he appeared on the stage shouting his poems.
But it is not very reliable. A poet has never fought in a war, but he is eager to fight, arrogant, and has high expectations but low skills. It is still quite consistent.
Then after appearing, he exited the stage as quickly and funny as in the original time and space.
The protagonist becomes a person again.
Then the original female pilot appeared.
The original female pilot was a pioneer in the Western women's equal rights movement.
Here, it can be replaced by Ban Zhao or Wang Zhenyi, both of whom are famous female scientists in ancient times.
Lu Pingan prefers Wang Zhenyi because she lived in the Qing Dynasty, a period of great feudal development. At this time, the gap between China and foreign countries was already very large. Facing the rapid changes outside and the conservative feudalism in China, this would bring greater shock and regret to her character.
Then there is the huge stone statue of Lincoln. Lu Pingan's first reaction is a great man, but because of censorship issues, it was replaced by a huge statue of Confucius.
Einstein can be replaced by Zu Chongzhi or not.
The Thinker can be replaced by Qu Yuan, who asked the sky.
All are perfect replacements.
The main positive characters in the original version are these.
The remaining villains.
The original Pharaoh's brother, the King of Kings, Carmenla, can be replaced by Chiyou.
In folk mythology and the overall impression of domestic audiences, Chiyou is a villain, and he can still be a villain here, a perfect replacement.
Kung Fu Panda can also guest-star as his mount.
The three villains summoned by Carmenla in the original version: Ivan the Terrible, the gangster Capone, and Napoleon.
These three can also be replaced.
But considering that Chi You is the "ancestor of mankind" after all.
So it is not good to directly recruit foreigners as subordinates and then conquer the world.
But it can be adjusted.
For example, Qin Hui or a big traitor in history will surrender first. This big traitor suggested that some foreigners and powerful villains can be found.
For example, Japanese pirates, Huns, Dutch, etc., and the dark soldiers in "Star Wars" and Oscar in Sesame Street who came to guest star in the original version can be replaced by Huoyun Evil God, Lu Bu and the like.
Lu Bu can also shout "How can I be depressed and live under others for a long time", and then he will be educated and turn to shout "Bu meets a wise master."
Then Chi You can also despise the Japanese pirates for being so short, just like the original version teasing Napoleon for being "short".
The overall role is like this.
The next step is to replace the scene and the guest roles needed for each scene.
There are only three scenes in the original version.
Warehouse, Lincoln Memorial, Space Museum.
This time there can be more.
Because it involves the display of history.
So the palaces of each dynasty must be displayed.
The Shang Dynasty Palace, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period exhibition hall, the Qin Palace, the Tang Palace, and the Forbidden City must be displayed all the way.
In the Shang Dynasty Palace, I encountered the nervous Jiang Ziya who was fishing.
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period exhibition hall, I encountered Laozi who was riding a cow to make a fraud.
In the Qin Palace, the "kill or not" scene can be retained again, which scared the protagonist and then ran away.
Lu Ping'an still likes "Hero" very much.
In the Tang Palace, of course, there must be a Tang Palace Night Banquet.
The girls dancing to "The Beauty Walk" must be displayed, making the protagonist happy and reluctant to leave.
The display of the Song Dynasty can be used in other ways, such as the biggest highlight of the original "Wonderful Night 2", that is, the scene of entering the world in the painting must also be retained.
Now it can be replaced with "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in the art exhibition hall.
Let's show the style of the Song Dynasty.
Let's do another "Qushui Liushang" to make the location more beautiful.
In addition to "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", the portraits of the four beauties can also be taken out at this time.
The Ming Dynasty directly boarded Zheng He's big ship to the West.
This can be combined with the plot.
The protagonist ran all the way, but couldn't run away, so he borrowed a boat to escape, which can replace the plane in the original version.
The world in the painting can also add the Tiananmen Tower of the founding ceremony.
This can be approved as long as the great man does not appear directly, and the color can be changed to black and white, which is in line with the characteristics of black and white photos at the time and increases the fun.
At the founding ceremony, the protagonist can bump into a foreign reporter, and then the mobile phone is left there, and then Motorola or Nokia is born.
Finally, come to the Science and Technology Museum.
Here you can add two bombs and one satellite.
Let the ancient scientist heroine be completely excited and sublimate the character.
Finally, in the Forbidden City, there will be a final battle with the foreign villains led by Chi You, echoing the Eight-Nation Alliance.
During this period, it can be designed that the old friends who ran away together also found the "home" belonging to their own dynasty, and then one by one did not want to leave, so they were caught.
This can make the situation worse and pave the way for the final ending.
Up to this point, the theme has not been shown.
But don't rush.
Because the opening theme is the turtle back plate.
In the original version, Carmenla forgot the password of the gold medal, so the protagonist was asked to find the password.
In this version, Chi You can still forget, but in the end, Chi You remembered, but he didn't know that the turtle back plate could summon a flood. He only knew that this thing was the key to his failure.
As a result, a great flood came, and all NPCs were in danger.
At this time, the Great Gao Dynasty and the real theme of the movie can be revealed.
In general, the skeleton and flesh are like this.
The specific plot is also basically designed.
The whole movie will use a lot of special effects, especially the last Great Gao Dynasty.
But it doesn't matter, Xingchen is now fully capable of doing it well.
However, such a movie is actually extremely difficult for any director.
In Ning Hao's words.
At present, the only people who can make this movie in China are probably Lu Pingan and Lao Mouzi.
It's true when you think about it.
There are many scenes in the whole movie.
For example, "Qushui Liushang" and "Tang Palace Dance".
According to Lu Pingan's requirements, things in each dynasty must be shot with a special flavor.
The Qin Palace must be shot with momentum.
The Tang Palace can be shot with Lao Mouzi's colors.
The dance must be "desire" and elegant.
The Song Dynasty can be shot vividly and have the taste of the budding of capitalism.
It can't be said that the protagonist has gone through all the way with the same style.
Not only that, in terms of characters, each scene not only involves a large number of extras, but also the shots of some main characters have to have another style.
In general, the style of the whole movie should be lively and vivid, but also unified and consistent.
A wonderful night at the museum.
That's it.
That's right, but it is indeed difficult for Ning Hao, a new director.
After all, he is not Lu Ping'an, the world's top director.
But fortunately, the advantages of industrial production can be reflected at this time.
Now the whole movie has been modularized, which is the experience accumulated from "1937".
The whole movie is divided into more than a dozen modules that do not interfere with each other, so that it can adapt to the rhythm of Hengdian. After all, it is impossible to leave a few months here for Lu Ping'an's crew at one time, and they also have to do business.
After each module is shot, Lu Ping'an, the general producer, can accept it. If it fails to accept it, it will be reshot at most, which will not affect other modules.
At most, it will cost some money and time.
And what Xingchen lacks the least now is money and time.
So Ning Hao is still full of confidence.
Finally, Lu Pingan said, "Let's do this for now. I'll go back and take care of the dance. Once all the scenes are ready, we'll start deciding the roles. Hengdian is up to you."
"No problem!"
Ning Hao was full of confidence and began to get into the groove.
Finally finished the revision. There are so many chapters. It's killing me
