Dong Zijian's rooftop rain scene in "Assassination of Novelists" was actually shot in a studio. How well-made is this movie?

The red knight riding a tall horse, the majestic and fierce red-haired ghost, the flying and circling fire dragon, the common people wearing witch masks?

A number of mysterious oriental images are perfected The display constitutes the "Ran Liangguo" written by the protagonist Lu Kongwen.

Unprecedented digital characters

Director Lu Yang called this work "the first 3D visual effects film with very vividly performed digital characters that was independently completed by a Chinese." ?

Indeed, two and a half years of post-production is enough to demonstrate the team’s determination to polish it. After the wave of "The Secret of the Dragon" and "The Wandering Earth", "Assassination of Novelists" once again ignited the "Hollywood dream" of the Chinese people. The details are worth scrutinizing

From the details, we can better understand the team’s intentions.

During the war, the people all wore witchcraft masks from the Nuo opera in western Hunan,

holding Farm tools, attacking without fear,

On the peacock chariot stood dancing and playing artists,

The fire dragon in the sky threw fire oil to the ground,

A A picture full of religious overtones and primitive fanaticism was laid out.

Such a magnificent scene was completed in the Oriental Film Capital of Qingdao, with more than 20 studios, nearly 170,000 square meters of scenery area, a special effects team of more than 800 people, and a production time of two and a half years. . "Assassination Novelist" delivered a high-quality technical answer sheet.

With the support of technology, Lu Yang’s oriental aesthetic expression is even more powerful.

In the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series, he used calm and atmospheric low-saturated colors to set the melancholy tone of the film, and used traditional Chinese images such as candlelight, sharp blades, and bamboo forests to express Jin Yiwei's forbearance and self-control. .

In "Assassination of Novelists", the audience can experience Lu Yang's fanatical desire for expression and bursting imagination? This oriental alien world is eccentric, and grievances and resentments turn into fists and flesh. Confrontation, desires and beliefs are respected. Carefully polished

"Assassination of Novelists" is adapted from Shuang Xuetao's short story of the same name. The author said that it only took two weeks to complete the work, just to express the resentment in his heart.

But it took four screenwriters two years to adapt such a coherent novel into a movie script, which is enough to show the team's effort in polishing the script.

But this is not enough. The film and television adaptation of each IP is the rebirth of a work. The screenwriter must not only expand the breadth of the story, but also lay a solid foundation for the plot so that every behavior of the characters can be experienced. It deserves careful consideration.
