Chapter 163: Fiercely Competitive Summer Season

The TV series "Don't Talk to Strangers", how to say the plot, ordinary people may not be able to accept it.

The behavior of the male protagonist An Jiahe can no longer be summed up only by domestic violence, it is simply perverted.

In fact, the most terrifying thing in the play is not that he beats the heroine, but his neurotic desire to control, which makes people shudder, and as many as four people die directly or indirectly in his hands.

The photographer and the heroine's brother were both killed directly by him.

His ex-wife couldn't stand his torture and was forced to commit suicide, and the child in Mei Xiangnan's womb also died because of him.

Even in the later stage of the plot, An Jiahe has completely transformed into a mad criminal.

In other words, the heroine Mei Xiangnan is alive in the end, to a certain extent, it should be that the screenwriter compromised with the audience and the review to prevent the ending from becoming too dark.

Otherwise, according to An Jia and the extremely morbid character setting of mental cleanliness, it is impossible for him to leave his wife in the world to "betray" him, and he will definitely take Mei Xiangnan with him before he dies.

Even his younger brother An Jiamu has a high chance of being killed by him.

After all, when Mei Xiangnan ran away, and his previous murder incident was exposed, and when his younger brother confronted him, An Jiahe had lost his rationality and completely fell into a state of madness.

In this case, An Jiahe's last sudden awakening and suicide by drinking a bomb is a bit far-fetched.

But it's understandable, after all, it's a film and television work, and it's a TV series, and to a certain extent, it's still close to the ratings, you made the ending too gloomy and dark, and it was obvious that you couldn't get along with the audience.

Zuo Le's script of "Don't Talk to Strangers" this time has very few changes to the original version, and even the background of the era that is often changed has not been moved, and it was placed at the beginning of the century.

There are many reasons for this, but the most important one is the review aspect, because there are many clips in the play that satirize the disregard for women being subjected to domestic violence in some departments.

Putting the background in the present is somewhat insinuating, and in addition, the logic does not make sense.

At the beginning of the original century, many people did not know much about domestic violence, and the mainstream view was still that it was better to demolish a temple than break a marriage, advocating family harmony and "understanding and accommodating" each other.

Nowadays, with the development of the times, everyone knows more and more about domestic violence through the Internet.

Although family harmony is still the mainstream, everyone has also learned to listen to individual voices, and the relevant departments are paying more and more attention to the problem of domestic violence.

The plot of complete disregard and cold treatment like the original TV series will most likely not appear today.

Therefore, Zuo Le decided not to change the time background setting of the original version, and still put it at the beginning of the century, as for the location, it is blurred.

............

However, after all, the subject matter is severely limited, and Zuo Le came up with the script of "Don't Talk to Strangers", so he didn't expect it to be a big hit.

As long as it can attract a certain amount of attention and discussion, it will be considered a complete task.

Not all movies and TV series are aiming for box office ratings and awards.

Being able to reflect social reality and arouse the public's attention to an event or a certain group is sometimes one of the original intentions of many realistic film and television creators.

Of course, under this premise, it would be even more perfect if the box office and ratings could explode............

Zuo Le also had this idea, he didn't think about how much money he could make from the TV series "Don't Talk to Strangers".

The reason why he set up this TV series is more for the following reasons.

First, it can help Shanhe open up new realistic themes, enrich the company's film and television works, and enhance the company's influence.

Second, to reflect the social reality, to a certain extent, to speak up for the vulnerable groups who have been subjected to domestic violence, it can also be regarded as giving back to the society.

Third, the tension of the characters in this TV series is very strong, which can greatly exercise and stimulate the acting skills of the actors, especially the male and female protagonists, and even have the hope of impacting the awards.

Fourth, that is, the most capricious reason.

Zuo Le personally thinks that this TV series is very standard, and he doesn't copy it...... It's a pity to shoot it, anyway, if someone has money, then shoot it.

In addition, the scene of "Don't Talk to Strangers" is not very big, and the investment amount is limited, which is estimated to be similar to a sitcom.

Relying on the main creative lineup of "Six Groups of Serious Cases" director Kong Sheng, Yu Entai and Yin Li's "Aluminum Pot (Lu Guo)" CP, the basic problem of returning to the cost is not big, and you can even make a small profit.

In this way, Zuo Le has no reason not to shoot, there was no project before, mainly because there was no suitable director, and now Kong Sheng took the initiative to ask Ying, which is just right.

The next day, Kong Sheng returned to Quancheng full of ambition, and he wanted to persuade Yu Entai and Yin Li to join.

Especially Yu Entai, An Jia and this role are not ordinarily unpleasant, and it takes courage for an actor to play such a role.

However, Kong Sheng believes that it should not be very difficult, he and Yu Entai have also communicated before, and know that the other party is a more ambitious actor.

Although An Jiahe is not likable, it is a good training and challenge for many actors, and he feels that with his three-inch tongue, it is enough to convince Yu Euntai.

As for Yin Li, if he can convince Yu Entai to join, the possibility of his consent will be greatly increased.

Thinking about it again, even if you can't settle these two, won't you still have the boss Zuo Le.

These two actors were hand-picked by Boss Zuo, Kong Sheng didn't believe that the casting was deadlocked, Zuo Le could hold back and not make a move, with the prestige in the hearts of Zuo Le Yu and Yin, as long as they spoke, this matter would be ironclad.

.........

After Kong Sheng returned to Quancheng, Zuo Le quickly finished filming the last few scenes of Jinchang, took people away, and went to Kiba to shoot the last scene of the crew of "Breaking through the Kanto".

There are not many scenes in Kiba, even if they are changed and some scenes of Erlongshan are added, it is estimated that all the scenes will be completed in mid-April

Before that, the crew of "Crossing the Guandong" had already started the post-production rough cutting work from the tenth day of the Lunar New Year under the instruction of Zuo Le.

Now, the shooting materials of the previous year have basically been roughly cut, and with the help of Zuo Le, Liu Guangyang, a well-known editor in the circle who worked together in "Seven Swords" last time, was invited to help the group with fine editing and post-production.

At present, the progress is not bad, it is expected that after all the scenes of "Crossing the Guandong" are completed, the editing will be almost completed in a month, plus the soundtrack, publicity and other miscellaneous productions, it is estimated that the finished product will be available in late May.

Dongshan Station even began to discuss with Shanhe whether "Breaking the Guandong" would be broadcast in early June, or wait until the summer vacation.

Most people are more fond of preparing for the summer file, and last year's "Wulin Gaiden" swept the unparalleled record of the entire summer file, and many people still stay in the hearts of many people.

The number of episodes of "Breaking through the East" is slightly lower than that of "Wulin Gaiden", but it is almost enough for a month, enough to replicate the glory of last year.

However, Zuo Le looked at the list of films in this year's summer file, not to mention that the heroes stand side by side, but there are also several strong opponents, among which there are two TV series that even he dare not underestimate.

CCTV's "After the Great Battle" can be regarded as a semi-main theme and half biographical theme.

tells the story of a certain army boss who was captured after the end of the civil war, who was intensively reformed for many years, and finally pardoned.

This theme is well chosen, based on real history, involving a large number of modern historical figures, and at the same time there is the drama of a big man becoming a prisoner, which has attracted the attention of many history lovers.

In addition, the director is a famous director who has won the Golden Phoenix Best Director twice, and the starring actors are all old actors, and the main creative lineup is very powerful.

may be due to some reasons, the online topic of this drama is not high, but as long as the quality of the drama is strong, under the huge volume of CCTV, the ratings are absolutely bargaining.

There is also a remake of Shonantai's "Wild Princess Looking for Daddy".

Although with the development of the times, this old drama has been discredited, but after all, it was the classic IP of Red Pole Asia back then, and no one dared to guarantee that no old fans would buy it.

You must know that the average ratings of "Wild Princess Looking for Dad" reached more than 40 at the beginning, and no Chinese person has never heard of this drama, with such a deep audience base, I am afraid that there is only one-twentieth left, and it is enough for the remake to eat a mouthful.

Not to mention, the male and female protagonists enabled in this remake are all well-known fresh meat flowers in China, with high popularity, plus the top publicity channels of Shonan Terrace.

Unless word of mouth plummets, the results will definitely not be too bad.

The two TV series that have been gathered in the summer file, if "Breaking the Guandong" enters it again, it will be a scuffle.

Although Zuo Le is not afraid of competition, he has no hatred or resentment, and there is no need to fight with the other party, which affects the ratings, and he loses his own family.

After several considerations, Zuo Le chatted with several leaders of Dongshan Channel, and finally unanimously decided that "Breaking the Guandong" avoided the fiercely competitive summer file and chose to premiere in June.
