I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

Young director Zhang Yuefan is not having a very good time recently.

His previous film "College Entrance Examination!" College entrance examination! College entrance examination! won the Best Special Effects Award at the Yannan University Student Film Festival. Although I don’t know why the jury gave him this award, it’s better to have it than not.

However, at that time, Lu Kan’s "Crying" also participated in the film festival selection. When "Crying" won the Best Special Effects Award, many people who did not know the truth thought that "College Entrance Examination!" College entrance examination! College entrance examination! "The special effects are super awesome, beating the eye-opening "Crying".

After the video website actually went online, the viewers who had been deceived shouted that they had been fooled, cursing what kind of bullshit special effects this was, and giving "College Entrance Examination!" College entrance examination! College entrance examination! 》gave him a low score, and even speculated whether Zhang Yuefan was a relative of the judge.

For a time, Zhang Yuefan's reputation became very bad, and producers who had previously intended to cooperate gave up the idea.

If it were an ordinary director, at this time, he would have started to blame others, be hostile to Lu Jian, and start preparing for revenge with him as his opponent.

Later on, he may have failed in revenge, found his seniors to support him, and started to use all kinds of crooked ways to discredit Lu Tiao. Then he challenged Lu Tiao head-on and was beaten in the face by counter-attacks, and he was completely defeated.

But Zhang Yuefan is different.

He is just a salted fish.

The reason why he made movies was because he could only make movies and make money, so he continued to do so.

There have been no movies recently, and no one has given him scripts to revise. With no source of income, Zhang Yuefan simply went to deliver food.

While delivering food, I am accumulating inspiration. Maybe one day I will have an idea to make a "Crazy Food Delivery".

If you can't take pictures, you can still deliver food, and you can earn a decent income here in Yannan.

If it doesn't work, I can only go back and inherit the family factory.

Today, after a day's work, Zhang Yuefan lay on the bed, took out his mobile phone, and prepared to watch videos and go to sleep.

Before he could finish watching the cool video of two naughty kids trying to die and something really happened, he saw the new trailer of Project Silence.

""Magic Tide", the name sounds like a blockbuster movie."

Although Zhang Yuefan left Lu Jian’s contact information, Lu Jian is a social black hole. He doesn’t usually post to normal Moments. He often posts about food and animals on video websites and Weibo, and recently he even posted about himself. The raised Corgi is indeed quite cute.

Therefore, Zhang Yuefan didn't know when Lu Tan came up with the movie.

Many colleagues in his circle of friends are completely different.

When I was about to shoot, I posted on WeChat and said, "New book, this time it will definitely be a big hit!", and started looking for actors. Then I posted on WeChat, "I talked to xxx today, and I hope we can collaborate." The filming officially started again. In the circle of friends, "Everything goes well, everything goes well", and then I take photos and post them every day, as if I want to tell people all over the world that I have worked very hard.

But in fact, he might just be a handyman.

For some people, showing that they are working hard is more important than the hard work itself.

Lu Tan was different, he made a fortune silently.

At first glance, he seems very calm.

Zhang Yuefan clicked on the video and turned off the barrage.

At the beginning of the trailer, there is a dense forest, with trees that cover the sky.

The narration sounded at this time.

"What you see is just the surface of the black forest. The real danger lurks in the shadows. When the blood moon rises, the demonic tide will come."

This is a slightly aged male voice, and combined with the light and shadow of the picture, it has a eloquent feeling.

Then, snowy fields, fortresses, armed soldiers, etc. appeared in the picture. The atmosphere was solemn and about to explode.

Immediately, the camera switched to the first perspective.

This seems to be a man lying in the snow. He holds a crossbow in his hand and stares nervously ahead. As he breathes, the fog in the lens appears and dissipates, with slight fluctuations, giving him a full sense of presence.

"It's coming."

The vicissitudes of male voice sounded.

"What's coming?"

Another slightly green male voice asked back.

"Demon Tide."

the man replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant silver-gray wolf suddenly jumped out from the darkness in front of the camera.

At the same time, along with the rhythm of the music, the screen jumped, showing a pack of wolves charging down from a distance, a man holding a crossbow being twisted by something in the shadow, and a man holding a dagger desperately cutting. Opening one's own throat, and a storm sweeping through the forest.

Finally, there was a young and an older soldier looking at the light beams fluttering under the dark sky, a desperate sight.

"Are we going to die?"

asked the young soldier.

"Yes, of course he will die."

The older soldier replied, then turned around and looked at the vast tide of monsters.

"But not today."

Immediately, the camera moved towards the surging demonic tide, like a crow overlooking the earth. Finally, the camera passed by the monsters, pulled up, and settled on the crimson blood-red moon.

The title of the film "Magic Tide", as well as some production staff, assisting units, etc., but there is no release date.

After watching the trailer, Zhang Yuefan slowly put down his phone.

He was originally a salted fish, and he could just lie down and fish.

But now, after seeing this trailer of Lu Jian, his peace of mind was challenged.

It seems that the content of this trailer is not the thriller and horror genre that Lu Tan is best at, but a serious fantasy action blockbuster.

This kind of movie, just like 3A in the game, requires a huge amount of financial, manpower and material resources to make.

You said that a horror movie can be shot in an abandoned hospital with some special effects, but the big scenes shown in the trailer of "The Tide" cannot be shot without strong scheduling capabilities.

Directors who can make this type of film are definitely big names.

Zhang Yuefan found it unbelievable that last year, Lu Tan was almost the same as him, and could only make small-budget movies like "The Crying" where the plot was greater than the special effects and scenes. But now, he is already a big director making commercial blockbusters.

It is impossible to say that I was not touched at all.

No matter how Zhang Yuefan lays down, he still likes movies after all. When encountering a trailer of this level, it's hard not to be moved.

The quality of the trailer, the storyboards, and the depth of the story are far beyond those of the superhero movies we usually watch. This is not a simple commercial blockbuster, it is an epic!

In the past, the industry also liked to make epic blockbusters, most of which were based on history, myths, biographies, etc., and some were completely fictional. However, gradually, such movies have almost disappeared. First, because the cost of such movies is extremely high and requires a large amount of time. Manpower and material resources are required, and the profit margin is not high. Secondly, because there are fewer subjects that can be filmed, many classic contents have already been filmed, and the cost-effectiveness of remakes is very low.

But now, it seems that Lu Jian is really going to make an epic blockbuster! ? ?
