"Don't draw the Five Elements of Wushan?"
Lu Yao had a question mark on her head. This anime is so popular now... and it is only such an anime now, so she subconsciously thought that Li Shuyao was going to make a big movie about this anime.
But I didn’t expect it?
"Yes, no, let's change it." Li Shuyao said matter-of-factly.
Why do you have to be original when you can copy? Original work is very laborious and thankless. You can’t make money and you will be scolded, so it is better to copy successful examples.
Firstly, it will basically succeed again. Secondly, even if you fail, you won’t feel bad, and you won’t feel uncomfortable if you are scolded.
Of course, in this world, I am not just original, I am also original from multiple angles and fields.
Lu Yao frowned slightly. Although someone had indeed contacted her about making a movie recently, she basically just left a contact information and waited to ask Li Shuyao.
After all, there are some differences between making movies and making ordinary animations.
However, as long as Li Shuyao is willing, making a big movie about Five Elements of Wushan will definitely do well at the box office. After all, the reputation is here now, and it will be worth it even if it takes two or three years to make it.
But if you change it... can it still be so successful?
There was once an author of a globally popular fantasy series who had his manuscript rejected when he published a new book. There was also a Japanese comic book where the first one was a hit, and then the next one was cut in half.
Maybe the carrier is different.
Traditional magazines and periodicals are all written on paper. If editors feel that it is not good enough, they will reject the manuscript or cut it in half.
However, web writing is on the Internet. If editors think you are not good enough, they will not recommend it to you. Anyway, you can create some benefits by writing there. If I don’t give you full attendance, it will be over.
This is especially true for movies, TV series, etc. If you can't maintain your quality, the audience still won't buy it, so in the final analysis it comes down to content.
After these things went around in Lu Yao's mind, he asked again: "Are you serious? Don't you want to change the Great Sage by painting the Five Elements of Wushan?"
"Of course." Li Shuyao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yaoyao's products must be top-quality!"
"Okay." Lu Yao nodded: "The Great Sage is the Great Sage, but if you draw something else, you may not have as much support as Wushan Five Elements."
"After we finish painting this time, they have to support whatever we paint next time." Li Shuyao said with a smile.
"Okay, I like it." Lu Yao gave Li Shuyao a thumbs-up sign: "Well, this tea is really good, and it feels even better with this bowl."
"This is called a tea cup, not a bowl...forget it, it doesn't matter, you can call it whatever you want." Li Shuyao thought for a moment, and then felt that it seemed a bit pretentious to call it a tea cup. No matter what it is called, it's just delicious. .
"You mean, people drank like this during the Song Dynasty?" Lu Yao asked, remembering what Li Shuyao said before.
"Yeah, it evolved from the sencha in the Tang Dynasty." Li Shuyao nodded: "After the Yuan Dynasty, this kind of tea gradually disappeared, and then it became the brewed tea."
"Huh? Why." Lu Yao tilted his head.
"Making tea is a way of drinking that the grassland people prefer... After all, they don't have time to order tea like the nobles of the Central Plains Dynasty, and they can't make tea cups."
Li Shuyao smacked his lips and said:
"In the past hundred years, tea-drinking has basically disappeared. Then, isn't our Lao Zhu the emperor who counterattacked by the common people? Firstly, he doesn't drink tea in the first place. Secondly, he also considers that this thing is a waste of people and money. , our Lao Zhu is an emperor who loves the people and never pays attention to material enjoyment..."
"The royal family of the Yuan and Ming dynasties all made tea, and naturally and gradually everyone also made tea. Over time, by the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was basically tea."
"Actually, it's normal. Only by making tea can you find it in thousands of homes. Let's order tea. In ancient times, it was not something ordinary people could do. But in modern times, everyone can actually do it. You can even draw on it when the foam is first made. Yes, it’s quite fun, hehe.”
"Then I realized that although this thing is said to be a kind of etiquette in the Song Dynasty, it is mostly only for rich people who have time to play. Ordinary people can spend a long time playing tea here."
Lu Yao looked at the tea soup in his hand, thought for a moment and said, "This is a bit like matcha."
"Tea ordering was very popular in the Song Dynasty. The tea culture in South Korea and Japan was passed down from us. After thousands of years of evolution, they gradually formed their own tea ceremony culture."
Li Shuyao shrugged and said:
"Although making tea is also very good, I think it would be a pity if tea making was lost. And it is indeed quite fun."
"By the way, this thing can also fight tea. When the time comes, I will teach you how to fight tea."
"Okay, you can play, we don't have time to play with this thing." Lu Yao smiled and shook his head: "But it is really delicious with this tea cup, and people at that time were really good at playing. "
"Yes, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was very fond of it and even wrote "Daguan Tea Theory". It's quite interesting."
Lu Yao almost spit out a mouthful of tea: "Why bring him up? It's bad luck."
"Haha, although this guy is not good at running the country, he is very good at everything else except running the country. It's a pity that he is an emperor. If he were not an emperor, he might really be famous in history."
Li Shuyao laughed and said:
"And don't forget that he doesn't know how to govern the country. He can still play with power. All the power of the court is in his hands."
"So, don't talk about treacherous ministers or not. He was the one who sent him to the grave in the Northern Song Dynasty. It was a pity that Zhe Zong was in a good situation."
"Okay, I'm not going to be poor with you. You'd better teach your little kitten a good lesson." Lu Yao drank the tea in one gulp and then stood up and said, "If you want to draw the Great Sage, get me something first." ...I can go talk to them."
"I know, I know, hehe, don't you just want to see something that was stolen, don't worry, wait until I make a short clip, hehe."
Li Shuyao is planning to make The Return of the Great Sage, but she is not going to follow exactly what she did before. She plans to make the Return of the Great Sage slightly integrated with the Five Elements of Wushan Mountain.
Focusing on the most eye-catching painting style and fighting scenes of Kiriyama Five Elements, she fine-tuned the Return of the Great Sage to create a Return of the Great Sage that she likes better.
She estimated that the production time would be almost a year, which would be just in time for it to be released during the Lunar New Year period the year after next.
Although the Lunar New Year festival has been quite busy in recent years, she still wants to try to see if she can beat those blockbusters.
She remembered when this movie came out...
In fact, it's not that much different from Kiriyama's Five Elements. It didn't have too much publicity at the beginning, at least it was much worse than those blockbuster movies. It basically grew through word-of-mouth after it was released, and then started to promote it like crazy.
She even vaguely felt that the release of this movie had changed the domestic view of anime movies to a certain extent. In the past, everyone always thought that anime was something for children.
After that, there were indeed a few good domestic animation movies released one after another.
Well, there are quite a few that are not so good.
However, there is always a feeling of opening up the situation, and even from then on, a wave of great holy fever started again.
Of course, there is naturally a lot of criticism.
After all, this animation is relatively early, so... Li Shuyao still has a chance to change it, and if more investment is obtained, the picture will be better...
Well, let’s start with a fight scene where the great sage causes havoc in the Heavenly Palace to open the eyes of those people!
