Chapter 246: The Movie Version of "Wulin Gaiden" (2-in-1)
Quancheng Pictures, Chairman's Office
Zuo Le specifically asked Xue Jun to run this trip, not only to praise and encourage the other party, but his main purpose was to talk to Xue Jun about "College Student Story 2".
As one of the two pillars of mountain and river sitcoms, Zuo Le attaches great importance to the series "College Student Story", and his expectations are comparable to the "Family with Children" series.
Unfortunately, after the first part of "College Student's Story" was broadcast, the results were not satisfactory.
This "unsatisfactory" refers to the fact that it did not meet Zuo Le's expectations, in fact, the first part of "College Student's Story" was not bad.
The average rating of the whole drama is 1.75, which is almost catching up with Zuo Le's original "Underground Traffic Station", and the Douhua score of 8.5 is also quite eye-catching.
If this result is to be considered bad, then except for a few TV series produced by Huaguo every year, the remaining ninety percent are all hitting the streets.
If Zuo Le's mind was known by the bosses of those film and television companies, I was afraid that he would go to Quancheng and beat him with a sack.........
In fact, Zuo Le also knows that his requirements are a bit harsh, but before doing anything, there must always be a head, if he doesn't even dare to think about it, before he does it, his anger will be vented first.
Therefore, Zuo Le doesn't have to "The Story of a College Student" to surpass or equal "Family with Children", but he has to set a goal for Xue Jun.
With this whip on the head, everyone will not slack off, otherwise everyone will be content with the status quo, and "The Story of a College Student" will never surpass the day of "Family with Children".
Of course, Zuo Le is not a person who doesn't care about the life or death of his subordinates after giving the order, although the whip is a tiger, but the help he should have is not ambiguous at all.
Ask for money for money, ask people for people.
Xue Jun actually attaches great importance to "The Story of a College Student", not to mention the prospects, it is still his work that has a firm foothold in the mountains and rivers.
Whether in terms of personal feelings or career interests, Xue Jun is looking forward to better results in "The Story of a College Student", and even has a stronger vision in this regard than Zuo Le.
As mentioned earlier, the character setting of "College Student's Story" is set in the web drama "Spicy Next Door", but the plot content is very different from the original version, which can be called a magic change.
focuses on the daily life of college students, and in the later stage, because of the addition of two heroines, there is also a little more affection.
But there is no bloody entanglement of ordinary sitcoms, and most of them revolve around the love affairs of young couples, with "happy enemies" as the selling point.
To be honest, if it weren't for the lack of reputation of the director and creator in the early stage, the ratings of the first few episodes were average, and then it was hard to wait for the word-of-mouth fermentation to take off, and because the episodes were too short, they didn't have a good taste of word-of-mouth dividends, so it would have ended directly.
If there are 10 more episodes, "College Student Story" is very likely to break 2.
Moreover, "The Story of a College Student" has another advantage, his online platform has a very high score, which is in the forefront of mountain and river dramas, and is not even weaker than Zuo Lepai's "The Story of the Cooking Class".
It can be said that the popularity foundation of "College Student's Story" is very thick, which is also where Zuo Le's confidence lies in his expectation that it will catch up with "Family with Children".
............
The script of "College Student Story 2" Zuo Le and Xue Jun have already read it, and it is still based on campus life, but there are also more off-campus plots, and there are still a few episodes that open their minds.
The sitcom style is open, and the plot is also diverse.
Especially for a work aimed at young people like "The Story of a College Student", occasionally a few episodes play with memes or brains, not only will not be disgusting, but will also be pleasantly surprised.
Like "Martial Arts Master", which is known as the pinnacle of sitcoms, there are several episodes of brainstorms, such as Mo Xiaobei sleepwalking in Film and Television City, the inn people imagine that they have another way, and time travelers come to find the Red Flame Demon to seek death.
All of them have been well received.
Because of the popularity of the previous work, the number of episodes of "College Student Story 2" has been increased by 15 episodes to 45 episodes.
The foursome in the 222 bedroom remains the same, and the heroine has added two more in addition to the original two, just making up four couples.
Ouyang Tingting, who loves literature, is the fiancΓ©e of Lin Dachong's childhood sweetheart, and her heart is all hung on Lin Dachong, the prodigal son, which is a bit of a woman licking a dog.
Yao Meng, the upright Lily Lala, the first hobby in his life is to make girls, there are countless harems, and he was accidentally mixed with Li Fanda and was slowly straightened.
Due to the popularity of Li Fanda played by Shen Teng, the second part of "The Story of a College Student" has increased for him, and even the scene with this Yao Meng is the most of the four heroines.
According to the script setting, Li Fanda is jealous with all kinds of girls every day because of her, and competes for favor with Yao's many harems as a man, which is novel and interesting, and is one of the highlights of the second part.
The role of Yao Meng has been set on Mao Tong of Shanhe Company, and it just so happens that he and Shen Teng are old acquaintances, and they have some tacit understanding.
As for Ouyang Tingting's actor candidates, Zuo Le didn't care, just like the previous two heroines, let Xue Jun handle it himself.
"College Student Story 2" is scheduled to be broadcast during the summer vacation, at this time it is already early April, and the rest of the time is not long, Xue Jun has already begun to prepare for the preliminary work, and will start filming immediately.
In fact, if it weren't for the delay of "Miracle Doctor Xilaile" for a while, "College Student Story 2" would have been launched a long time ago.
But there is a mistake, if it was turned on some time ago, the 222 foursome would have roles in the two crews of "Seven Swords 2" and "The Great Dyeing Workshop", and the schedules collided together, and they might not be able to vacate up.
Now that the filming time of "College Student Story 2" has been delayed, it has freed up time for mediation, allowing the two crews to shoot the scenes of the four as soon as possible, and they can make up for occasional mistakes and omissions.
This is the advantage of the same company, the crew is considerate and helpful to each other, and the tolerance of the artists is also more humane.
If it's an outside company, it's not a big-name superstar, who cares if you can't catch up with the schedule, one is not good, and it will give you a reputation as a big name.
Zuo Le pulled Xue Jun and said a lot about "College Students' Story 2", and then explained "Divine Doctor Xilaile".
At present, this drama is on fire, and the company is going all out to publicize and bring the results to the stage, which must be inseparable from the support of Xue Jun, the director, yes, Xue Jun's burden is not light during this time.
I have to run the promotion of "Miracle Doctor Xilaile", and I have to prepare for the pre-production and start-up of "College Student Story 2".
Although it will be very busy for a period of time after that, Xue Jun himself feels very happy.
He is not afraid of hard work, but he is afraid that he will have nothing to do.
Looking at his thriving career, Xue Jun became more and more excited about his decision to leave Kongwen to join the mountains and rivers.
This gamble was too worthwhile, and it changed his entire life in one fell swoop, if he had stayed in Kongwen, how could he have achieved today.
............
Xue Jun left the office with great ambition, Zuo Le was not idle, after drinking a glass of water, he was about to ask his assistant Hu Ya to find Shang Qianwu and tell him about his new movie script.
After thinking about it, Zuo Le felt that everyone was the leader, so it was better to go directly to the screenwriting department and find a few more people to discuss.
After a number of popular dramas, the Sunward screenwriting department is now amazingly famous in the circle, although it has not yet sat on the first throne, it is also a strong contender, and it is a top team in the industry.
However, the screenwriting department, which is very famous in the outside world, is indeed very low-key in Shanhe Pictures, and its location is very remote, far away from the company's main office area.
This is not because the company deliberately suppressed it, but because the screenwriter's work was afraid of being disturbed, so it deliberately set aside a quiet place for the screenwriting department.
However, although the place is quiet, people are not necessarily stable, and when Zuo Le arrived, several screenwriters in the screenwriting department were arguing.
"The outline of the script given by the chairman, Liu Yanbang's character is obviously a good person, why do you have to make him a hypocrite. β
"The outline given by the chairman is only for reference, and it does not restrict us from giving free play, Liu Yanbang is a poor scholar, how can he impress the Three Virgins, it is not logical. β
"That's right, Erlang God Yang Jian loves his sister like his life, how can he be willing to let his sister's husband and wife separate, if Liu Yanbang is a villain hypocrite and coaxed the Three Holy Mother, all this is said.
"Strong words, isn't the outline of the script clearly written, Yang Jian arrested the Three Holy Mothers in order to protect his sister, and incidentally took the opportunity to revise the heavenly rules. β
"I think according to the story of "Baolian Lantern", the routine is too old, it is better to do something new, how to abuse Yang Jian, directly let Erlang God die, and then let the roaring dog reveal the truth, the sense of contrast and plot conflict will be stronger. β
"Damn, you're perverted, why do you always want to engage in these anti-human cruel plots, and you're not afraid of being sent blades by the audience. β
β.........β
Zuo Le looked at the noisy screenwriters, with a slightly wry smile on his face.
The profession of screenwriter, like the author, is a very self-contained profession, and everyone's ideas and even styles are different.
Therefore, these screenwriters in the Shanhe Screenwriting Department often cannot agree on a certain script or plot, express their opinions, and then evolve from discussion to dispute.
There are even a lot of cases of arguing and scolding.
The literati are pure, and the screenwriter is more artistic, and he is more or less arrogant in his bones, and it is not easy to gather and manage this group of people.
However, no matter how arrogant the screenwriting department is, it can't be proud of Zuo Le, and after someone found out about him, several screenwriters who were still noisy immediately stopped silent.
Zuo Le didn't care about them, looked at a screenwriter he knew, and asked, "What about your business director?" β
"In the office inside. β
Zuo Le nodded, walked forward, just took a few steps, stopped again, and looked at everyone.
"It's not that you don't want to fight, good scripts are grinded out little by little, but others still have jobs, if you are not convinced, it is better to pull a group to type and chat,
Not to mention being able to practice hand speed, you can also leave some text information, and look back when you are not inspired. β
The screenwriters nodded yes, glanced at each other, their eyes were full of blazing fire, and they secretly shouted "key" in their hearts, turned their heads and pulled the group to continue the group.
............
As the person in charge of the screenwriting department, an important senior executive of the company, Shang Qianwu's office is not small, the decoration is also good, and the most important thing is that the sound insulation is particularly good.
After Zuo Le walked in, he realized why he was doing so much outside, and Shang Qianwu could still work in the office, so he had already prepared.
"You don't care, I'm not afraid that President Yan will trouble you. Zuo Le sat on the sofa and asked Shang Qianwu with a smile.
"This is called a collision of ideas, the screenwriter does not quarrel with where the inspiration comes from, besides, they write at their desks every day, and quarreling is a good catharsis for their mood. β
Shang Qianwu is very calm, although Yan Kui is the second-in-command of the company, he is not easy to mess with, not only is he the first screenwriter under the company's Zuo Le, he holds the power of the screenwriting department, and he is also a veteran who joined Shanhe at the beginning of its establishment.
The most important thing is that he is respected by Zuo Le, he is a hardcore confidant, and no one can touch him except Zuo Le.
For the sake of some trivial things, Yan Kui will only find trouble with him if he has a problem.
Seeing this, Zuo Le didn't say much, and talked about business to himself, and Shang Qianwu's face began to become solemn.
"After all, it's a fan-oriented movie, so we didn't change the style rashly, the advantage is that it maintains the strengths of the original show, and the disadvantage is that there are many limitations, and the whole movie is almost an extended version of an episode of the TV series. β
Zuo Le listened to it and groaned: "I know this in my heart, it was originally a work to test the waters, and it was also to give these fans an explanation."
is still the same sentence, this movie version of "Wulin Gaiden", the box office is not the first purpose, and accumulating production experience in movies is the most important thing for us. β
That's right, Zuo Le's film debut is the movie version of "Wulin Gaiden".
This is also the only movie of Zuo Le Golden Finger, which is estimated to have a deep relationship with the TV series "Wulin Gaiden".
Zuo Le guessed that if he made this movie, Goldfinger was likely to appear like a TV series, and a new movie would appear.
Therefore, Zuo Le put aside a few original movie scripts taken out by the screenwriting department, and finally chose to shoot the movie version of "Wulin Gaiden".
In addition to coveting the high-quality movies in the golden finger, there is also a purpose to draw an end to "Wulin Gaiden".
As a work that breaks 5 myths and Zuo Le's best performance, "Wulin Gaiden" has countless diehards, and these people look forward to Zuo Le's sequel to "Wulin Gaiden" every day.
The number of people and the strong vision are so strong that even Zuo Le has to pay attention to it.
However, he has decided in his heart that he will not make a sequel to "Wulin Gaiden", but making a side movie and explaining the endings of the protagonists clearly can be regarded as fulfilling the audience's wishes.
This movie version of "Wulin Gaiden", because of the fan-oriented nature, the box office is not destined to be particularly high, but for the above two reasons, Zuo Le also admitted it.
Compared with the plot of the original movie, Zuo Le's version has not changed much, but a lot of scenes have been added, and the preliminary prediction of the movie time is more than two hours.
Most of the extra part of the plot revolves around the explanations of several protagonists, such as:
Shopkeeper Tong and Lao Bai gave birth to a son, and opened a new branch in Eighteen Miles.
Wushuang and Xiaoliu finally came together.
With a big mouth alone, he finally waited for Liu Xingyu, who atoned for his sins, and had a companion for the rest of his life.
Lu Xiucai said goodbye to her daughter and wife, rushed to the state city to take the examination, and finally got the title of the gold list and got what she wanted.
Mo Xiaobei, who grew up, went out to roam the rivers and lakes and won the title of a little witch.
