"What do you think?" Old Man Dai, who had been sitting there for two hours, asked when he saw Jia Yapeng put down the script after reading it two or three times.
"It's difficult to write a single word!" Boss Jia sighed.
"Don't flatter me, kid. This script is not bad, but it's not at the level of being priceless. At least in many lines, the development of the story, and the storyboard, there's still a huge gap between it and those professional script writers and film directors!" Elder Dai was very clear about the problems with his script.
Old Man Dai had been making animated TV shows all his life, but he had never really directed the production of a movie. Even if he had, it was just a little. He didn't have the professional level of a real film director. Therefore, although the story of the script was perfect, it was far from professional.
"It's not difficult!" Boss Jia smiled. "Daqian Entertainment has many famous directors and scriptwriters. I can ask them to help me perfect the script. If it doesn't work, I can ask Director Cameron to do it. I'm not afraid of him!"
"Okay, then I'll leave the script to you. But there's one thing. My plot can't be changed. Not a single plot point can be changed!" Old Man Dai said domineeringly. Then he took out a lot of sketches from his backpack and said, "These are the character designs in the movie, and some of the scene designs. Take a look and see if there's anything lacking!"
"Okay!" Boss Jia took over the character designs. The first thing that caught his eye was the original character design of Liu Chenxiang.
As the absolute protagonist throughout the movie, Liu Chenxiang's character design had a total of three versions. The youngest one was a seven or eight-year-old child, followed by a fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenager, and the last one was a twenty-year-old young man.
Seeing this person, Boss Jia's heart couldn't help but tremble a few times.
First of all, the image of the character was in the same vein as the Shangmei version of Chen Xiang. However, the Shangmei version was too simple and too Disney-like. In fact, it wasn't liked by the audience of Hua Xia. Especially after being influenced by the high-quality animation of Dynasty for about five years, the Shangmei version of Liu Chenxiang was even less in line with the image.
Therefore, the final version of Agarwood in Old Dai's hands was many times more perfect than the American version, and the style was also very magical.
How should he put it? It had the style and feeling of an ink painting, but it was also real and exquisite. From a button to a strand of hair, everything was clearly visible. Only God knew how such an exquisite yet freehand style was created.
To put it bluntly, even Hayao Miyazaki at his peak would have to kneel down in front of this persona.
However, one thing was for sure. If this were to be turned into a 2D animated movie, the artists in Dynasty would have to face the toughest days of their lives.
The animation took ten times longer than Dynasty's usual animation standards to draw a frame of the animation.
Then, it was Chen Xiang, Yang Jian, the Third Saint, Little Fox, and so on. It could be seen that Old Dai had really put in a lot of effort. All the personas were lifelike, exquisite, freehand, and had a strong ink painting style. Only God knew how Old Dai managed to put all these together. It was just too amazing.
After the personas, Boss Jia was shocked when he saw Old Dai's settings. In the beginning, Mount Hua was a towering pillar with smoke lingering around it. During that time, he seemed to be able to faintly see cranes flying in the sky. However, he could also feel a strong sense of darkness. The details were so detailed that even a blade of grass could be seen clearly.
However, Mount Hua was just the most basic. Boss Jia saw the settings of the Four Continents, Underworld, Leiyin Temple, Heavenly Palace, and so on. Each of these settings made Boss Jia extremely shocked.
It was not the kind of shock that came from the images, but the kind of shock that came from one's imagination.
For example, Underworld was different from the dark yamen in the traditional Hua Xia TV series. Underworld was actually a clear sky as if it was a normal world.
However, if one were to look at this world for themselves, one would realize that the flowing river was actually boiling hot oil. Moreover, the seemingly green grass was actually as sharp as a sword.
The rain that fell from the sky was actually highly concentrated sulfuric acid … Alright, that could not be seen. That was the text of the scenes in the pictures.
According to the description, the air that one breathed was stinky. The rice that one ate was as hard as iron. When one slept, there would be countless copper gongs that would wake one up. All the items that one used were electrocuted. Even one's hands would be filled with hemorrhoids at any time.
In any case, it was a beautiful and terrifying world that made Boss Jia shudder when he saw it.
After Underworld was Leiyin Temple. Leiyin Temple did not have as many torturous things as Underworld. However, there was only one word to describe it, and that was shocking.
That was because the entire Leiyin Temple was a hundred thousand meters tall and a million meters wide. Furthermore, this incomparably huge Leiyin Temple was actually built on the fingernail of a giant Buddha.
As for the giant Buddha itself, it was Gautama Buddha, which coincided with the saying of the Three Thousand Worlds in the Palm of Gautama Buddha.
Then there was the Heavenly Palace. In CCTV's Journey to the West, the Heavenly Palace was a palace built on the faintly discernible white clouds. However, in Elder Dai's painting, the Heavenly Palace was not built on the clouds. Instead, it was built on a floating continent. However, this floating continent had countless invisible iron chains that tightly bound the entire land below.
Compared to the human world, the floating continent in the sky was just a drop in the ocean. However, such a small drop in the ocean could bind the entire ocean and continuously absorb all kinds of nutrients from the continent below. It was like a malignant tumor on the skin.
"This setting is invincible!" Invincible! "Boss Jia exclaimed as he put down the original art in his hands. Actually, Elder Dai had designed many original arts. Just the original art that he showed to Boss Jia alone was more than thirty different scenes, which included all kinds of unimaginable wonders of the Three Realms.
However, according to Elder Dai, this was only part of the original art. He had designed a total of 108 different scenes, which corresponded to the 108 Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends.
Hearing this, Boss Jia wanted to kneel down completely. As expected of something that took three years to prepare. It was too awesome. At this moment, Boss Jia suddenly understood that the core of this movie was not about the fight between the uncle and nephew, nor was it about the Heavenly Palace's control and restraint on the human world.
It was a completely tourist movie that brought the audience to the Three Realms for a tour!
This was a vivid promotional video for the Three Realms Tour!
