What happens to the future when humanity loses its imagination?
That slogan created a sensation during the summer of 1984.
Back then, computers couldn't support Chinese input and co...
Recently, "The Primordial World" has dominated almost all the trending news, it's incredibly popular.
The release of the animated series "Primordial World" has once again created a frenzy among fans.
The more popular "Primordial World" becomes, the more it will be a disaster for other game companies.
Many game companies are even planning to switch to other businesses.
Shanghai Animation Film Studio.
Zhao Ye is discussing the possibility of adapting "The Primordial World" into a film or television series with the studio's employees.
Factory Director Xu Xiangming smiled wryly: "Chairman Zhao, filming 'The Primordial World' is too difficult. Even if we take a segment of the story and use it to make a movie, most of the scenes will still require special effects!"
After a pause, Factory Director Xu joked, "I can practically feel the budget burning through like crazy!!!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye couldn't help but laugh: "It's true that the budget is burning through, but I think it should be possible to make a film. Moreover, fans of 'The Primordial World' also hope to see a movie of 'The Primordial World' released in theaters."
At this moment, Zhao Ye couldn't help but think of the fantasy action film "Warcraft," co-produced by Legendary Pictures and Blizzard Entertainment in his previous life. This film, adapted from the game of the same name, did not achieve great success after its release.
The game World of Warcraft was released in open beta in North America in 2004, but the movie was not released until 2016.
By then, World of Warcraft was no longer popular.
As the saying goes, "strike while the iron is hot." Right now, "The Primordial World" is a huge hit. If we don't adapt it into a movie and release it soon, what's the point of waiting for the game's popularity to die down?
Tao Feihang, head of Digital Light & Magic, said, "Chairman Zhao, Digital Light & Magic can create all the scenes in 'The Primordial World.' In addition, we can manufacture models of various races, ensuring they are indistinguishable from reality and incredibly lifelike!"
Digital Light & Magic has always received strong support from Wujiang Group, and its technology has long surpassed that of Industrial Light & Magic in the United States.
The powerful Source Engine software not only speeds up the production of movie special effects and reduces costs, but also excels in the quality of movie special effects.
Therefore, Tao Feihang really wanted to try and take on the challenge of the "Primordial World" project.
Zhao Ye looked at him and asked, "President Tao, could you estimate the production cost if 'The Primordial World' were adapted into a movie?"
Upon hearing this, Tao Feihang pondered for a moment, then said, "Probably, at least 300 million US dollars..."
Zhao Ye compared "The Primordial World" to "Avatar," but "The Primordial World" obviously has many more special effects scenes than "Avatar," so the production cost of "The Primordial World" is also higher than that of "Avatar."
However, Hollywood movies pay actors very high salaries, giving "The Primordial World" an advantage in this regard, as more funds can be used for film special effects production.
"300 million US dollars is no problem! I think we can definitely make it back once the movie is released! Even if the movie doesn't make money, we can make it back from merchandise. At least when the movie is released, the game 'Primordial World 1: Three Races Battle' will definitely become a hit online again!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangming clicked his tongue in amazement. He thought to himself, "The daily revenue of 'Primordial World 1: Three Races' War' is as high as several hundred million US dollars. It can earn back the money to make a movie in a single day. If the movie adaptation doesn't do well at the box office, it doesn't matter. Just consider it as spending money on advertising and making money from the game."
“Chairman Zhao, since that’s the case, then I support this project. I will arrange for a professional screenwriter to begin adapting ‘The Primordial World’ shortly,” Xu Xiangming said.
Zhao Ye nodded and instructed, "Yes, but the timeline of the film and television adaptation cannot exceed that of the game!"
"Okay, Chairman Zhao, I understand. I'll remind them when the time comes." After Xu Xiangming finished speaking, he already had an adaptation plan in mind. The first film would be a story about the Dragon-Han Tribulation in the prehistoric world, a story of the three races vying for supremacy.
Xu Xiangming had also considered whether to film the movie in chronological order, with the first film adaptation titled "The Great Calamity of Creation".
However, the description of the "Creation of Heaven and Earth" is very limited, making it difficult to fill in the plot. It would be better to spend a few minutes at the beginning of the filming of the Dragon-Han First Tribulation to capture the shocking scenes of the "Creation of Heaven and Earth".
The plot of *The First Calamity of the Dragon and Han Dynasties* is more dramatic. On the surface, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races vie for supremacy in the primordial world, dominating all other races. However, in reality, these three races are manipulated by Rahu, the remnant of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, who wreaks havoc in the primordial world, incurring immense karmic consequences and being suppressed, forced to withdraw from the primordial continent. At the end of the film, Rahu, having outmaneuvered the three races, cultivates the Great Dao of Slaughter. But at this moment, the remaining Space Demon God Yang Mei, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and other demon gods such as Qiankun Yin Yang suddenly appear and attack Rahu. After killing Qiankun Yin Yang and the other demon gods, Rahu ultimately self-destructs, destroying the Western Spiritual Vein. Thus, the first film ends…
Xu Xiangming became more and more excited as he thought about it, and he planned to go and discuss it with the screenwriters after the meeting ended.
...
Half a month later, the first draft of the script for "The Primordial World" was completed.
Xu Xiangming is quite satisfied with the script. With a little more polishing, it will definitely become an excellent script.
Around noon, after he finished eating, he took the movie script to Zhao Ye.
"Chairman Zhao, this is the script adapted by the screenwriters from 'The Primordial World.' Please take a look and see if there are any parts that need to be modified."
"good."
The script is not long, only about 30,000 words.
