entertainment first

If you want "A Chinese Odyssey" not to repeat the same mistake, you must perform surgery on it and make certain deletions. It is a deletion, not a modification! Bi Xia thought repeatedly in his mind and found that he had no way to modify it at all, and could only be at a certain level.

Deleted above.

The script of "A Chinese Odyssey" seems a bit loose to a certain extent. When the main creators were filming "A Chinese Odyssey", there was another idea that all the stories were created and shot during the filming. This wonderful thing is that

The story is the product of the inspirational collision between two geniuses, Stephen Chow and Liu Weiqiang.

There are geniuses in this world. The definition of genius is 1% inspiration and 99% effort. It is this 1% inspiration that distinguishes genius from ordinary people. Perhaps these two main creators of "A Chinese Odyssey" were created and

They did not deliberately design the meanings that were later interpreted by fans of big talk. They were just a light of inspiration at the time, and then subconsciously thought that the story should be written like this and that the story should be filmed like this.

This subconscious expression is the superhuman thinking in the subconscious, and the concrete manifestation of their genius.

It is precisely because they didn't have a specific script at that time that the plot was not so compact, giving Bi Xia a little space to delete. The three-hour film length would cost at least 30 minutes.

It is a big project, and for Bi Xia it is definitely the most challenging job in so many years.

He began to write and divided the story of "A Chinese Odyssey" into small paragraphs.

For a week, Bi Xia stayed in his studio. This week, Bi Xia stopped the sequel to "Buddha is the Tao" and only relied on the release of the manuscript, and stopped the "Tianlong and the Eight Parts"

The continuation of the book is focused on correcting the "American Journey".

This work made him extremely painful. All kinds of entanglements and anxiety came to him in the process, fearing that he would blaspheme this classic of the century. Now the first draft has finally been completed, and the length of the movie that has been deleted and compressed by Bi Xia will be 140

About minutes. This is also the normal duration of these blockbusters nowadays.

The wonderfulness of "A Chinese Odyssey" is divided into two parts. One is the preparation of "The Moonlight Box", and the other is the narrative of "The Great Sage Marrying". Both of these two parts are indispensable, and there is no such long piece as "The Moonlight Box".

The preparation is not as shocking as the later "The Great Sage Marries".

Bi Xia’s deletion revolves around this central idea. It is necessary to ensure the integrity of the preparation and his consistency, making the whole movie more compact, and the content of various jokes is continuous, ensuring that it is within 140 minutes.

Within, the audience will welcome waves of "gaochao".

...

"Director Zhang is my script." It has been ten days since he last talked with Zhang Hailei. After the first draft of the first deletion was completed, Bi Xia spent another two days to correct and improve, ensuring that he could achieve his own mind.

Perfect in.

After completion, Bi Xia believes that it will surpass the original version because Bi Xia is on the shoulders of the giant. He uses the original plot as a template to delete some heavy plots, making the rhythm of the whole film more vivid. In addition to this

In addition, Bi Xia made major changes to the scenes of the movie.

You should know that the original drama has only invested 40 million yuan in total, and the investment in the movies Zhang Hailei filmed is obviously not just that. Therefore, in terms of special effects and scenes, Bi Xia strives to be perfect. If filming according to his vision, this "A Chinese Odyssey"

It is definitely a super big production with deep thoughts and grand scenes, and of course it is also a gold-swallowing beast. At least Bixia's Tianen Studio does not have the financial strength to shoot it.

"Let's look, let's look..." Zhang Hailei seemed very expectant and anxious. His performance at this time was a bit contradictory. On the one hand, Bi Xia's achievements in the subject matter of gods and monsters determine that he is the authority. On the other hand, he did it in ten days.

He seemed a little impetuous when he published a script.

With this mentality, after he took the script, he plunged into the story and forgot even greeting Bi Xia.

...

Tang Monk: What are you doing?

Wukong: Let go!

Tang Seng: Do you want it? Wukong. If you want it, just talk. If you don’t say it, how can I know you want it? Although you look at me sincerely, you still have to tell me that you want it.

yes. Do you really want it? Then take it! Don’t you really want it, do you really want it?

...

Tang Seng: Wukong, how could you talk to Sister Guanyin like this?

Wukong: Wow! Don’t quarrel!

Tang Monk: You are scaring me again!

Tang Monk: Hey hey! Don’t be angry, you will violate the precept of anger! Wukong, you are too naughty. I told you not to throw things around, why are you again... You see, before I finished speaking, you again

Throw the stick away! The moonlight treasure box is a treasure, and it is also wrong for you to throw it away and it will pollute flowers and plants!

...

Voiceover: At that time, the sword was only 0.01 cm away from my throat, but after a quarter of an incense stick, the mistress of the sword would fall in love with me completely because I decided to tell a lie. Although I have said countless times in my life

A lie, but I think this one is the most perfect...

Zixia: If you step a little further, I will kill you!

Supreme Treasure: You should do this, and I should die too. There was once a sincere love in front of me, and I didn’t cherish it. I regret it when I lost it. The most painful thing in the world is this.

The sword is cut off from my throat! No need to hesitate anymore! If God can give me a chance to do it again, I will say three words to the girl: I love you. If I have to love this

Add a deadline, I hope it is... ten thousand years!

...

As the script deepened, the conflicting mood was gradually left behind, and there was no trace at all. Looking at the conversation between Sun Wukong and Tang Seng, the plot of Bajie and Chun Sanshiniang, the story between Supreme Bao and Jingjing

, The love between Zixia... Zhang Hailei laughed, sometimes laughed, sometimes frowned, sometimes nervous.

When I saw Zixia lying in Sun Wukong's arms, he said, "My lover is a great hero. One day he will marry me on the seven-colored clouds. I guessed the front, but I can't guess the ending..."

When he was talking, Zhang Hailei saw tears.

He closed the script, his mind was blank. He wanted to remember something but couldn't remember it at all. From time to time, he flashed through the scenes in the script, and then paused in the sentence "Look at that person, it's so strange, like

"A dog" This story is happy and sad at first glance, but he is keen to feel that this story is not that simple, as if it hides a deeper meaning.

It is better to act than to act. He ignored Bi Xia, who had been left alone for several hours, and read the script again. This time he read it more carefully.

"Lao Zhang, Xiao Xia, have dinner." With a few knocks on the door, Zhang Hailei's wife, also a famous domestic actor, opened the door and said to them: "Lao Zhang, too, Xiao Xia is a guest, how can you do it?

Let someone stay with you in the study all afternoon."

Honglu's arrival pulled Zhang Hailei back from the script world. Only then did he realize his recklessness. He quickly got up and took Bi Xia's hand and said, "I can't leave no matter what I say today. Stay for a meal, I'll still

There are many questions to ask you.”

The second time he read the script, he had some in-depth interpretation of the story of "A Chinese Odyssey". This made him even more surprised that what Bi Xia wanted to express in this story was too profound. It didn't look like a

Works of young people in their twenties.

At the dinner table, Zhang Hailei sat next to Bi Xia. He asked curiously: "Bi Xia, why did you think of writing such a story that the story has been too much subversion of Journey to the West, and you can't even see the shadow of Journey to the West at all?"

Zhang Hailei's expression and words made Honglu listen curiously. Honglu can be said to be the earliest generation of idol stars in the mainland. At that time, the ideology had just been loose, and the packaging of actors had just emerged. Honglu was the earliest one.

Criticize beneficiaries. She participated in many Zhang Hailei's filming in the early days. It can be said that she was Zhang Hailei's heroine. Both of them were beneficiaries during that cooperation process. Zhang Hailei won many awards internationally, and she also became

The first actress in the mainland who was influential internationally.

Through these repeated cooperations, the two finally grew up in love and got married. After getting married, Honglu resolutely retired from the film and took care of Zhang Hailei's life. That period was the day when Zhang Hailei was traveling around Baodao, Xiangjiang, and the United States. The couple was the time when he was traveling around.

The two of them never leave each other and become the most enviable couple in the circle. Now they have achieved success and fame. Honglu occasionally takes on some movies without affecting her family. She is a true actress.

As the wife of a film queen and a world-class director, Honglu's ability to appreciate art is definitely above most people in the circle. Seeing her husband's impatient expression, she was very curious about Bi Xia's falling to the ground to write.

What kind of script?

"Sometimes when I read "Journey to the West", I find that there are many unreasonable things in it. Why did Sun Wukong, who was able to make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, repeatedly betray these little monsters on the way to obtain the scriptures? Is this a big contrast? So I

I began to imagine that in "Buddha is the Tao", I set that the pursuit of the West was just a calculation of the Buddhist sect spreading its influence on the world, and Sun Wukong was just a monkey who was plotted against if he was still a stone. Under this premise,

I just thought, what is the heart of such a monkey? As I thought about it, this story came up." After that, Bi Xia smiled embarrassedly.

This smile was because he felt guilty because he copied Stephen Chow's story, but in the eyes of Zhang Hailei and his wife, it was a rare sign of deficit, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

"I thought well. Only with such imagination can you have so many wonderful works." Zhang Hailei couldn't help but slamming his high-highlights, "Let's talk about some of your ideas about setting things up in the Westward Journey..."

Honglu looked at the two men who didn't even eat when talking about movies, and shook her head helplessly, but it was because of this kind of hot pillow and concentration that they could achieve impressive results in this field.
