I was thinking about the story of several stages in Dragon Ball, why do I have to choose the story of Piccolo. Although this story is not very complicated, it is extremely special. The special thing is that the appearance of Piccolo is the first time. Make the members of the Dragon Ball Group appear dead, the whole story is filled with the grief of losing a loved one and the sense of mission of Xiao Wukong to save the world. If the movie wants to achieve this effect, he must be loyal to the original book, otherwise, it will be like this one. Like a movie, it becomes an ordinary fantasy film, which cannot highlight the characteristics of the Dragon Ball story, and it is difficult for the audience to remember the story, whether it is a friend who has seen Dragon Ball, or an audience who has not seen Dragon Ball. In other words, the burden of Piccolo's story is too heavy, and it is difficult for a Westerner with a very different cultural tradition to shoot well.
In contrast, I feel that if I choose the story of Frieza’s stage, it will be easier to shoot well, and I don’t need to stick to the original book, and at the same time, I can realize many spiritual things in the story of Dragon Ball. The reason is that, first of all, the enemy in the story at this stage is aliens. This theme should be Hollywood's forte. There are many characters in the Frieza group, all kinds of strange and distinct characters. I believe that these characters can make the movie burst out. Less than Lord of the Rings Sparks.
Secondly, the storyline is more epic, the history of the Saiyan planet being destroyed by Frieza, the legend of the Super Saiyan, (the storyline of Star Legend 2 is somewhat similar to it) The Namek people, etc. , these themes are good for Westerners, and with the help of Western advanced technology, the effect of the film will definitely be extraordinary. Personally, Frieza's story at that stage is the most exciting part of the entire Dragon Ball story.
Third, you can show the true nature of Dragon Ball without being loyal to the original work. At this stage, the director can trust the horse, Wukong can make Americans, even Africans, Qiqi can be a black man, and they will not have much impact on the story, as long as Grasp the theme of "Super Saiyan", and the true color of Dragon Ball will not be dim, and in Frieza's story, this should be easy to do.
So, I'm curious, why not choose the Frieza story? To this day, I still clearly remember the characters that excited me as a child, Frieza's transformation, Goku's rage turned into a Super Saiyan, and Vegeta's complex character. . . Hope to see them on screen one day.
