The final reversal of the ending of "Baolian Lantern" has caused a lot of turmoil on the Internet.

Erlang God, an already controversial character, has completely reversed his reputation, and after this experience, the already popular momentum has added to the fire.

Even in the annual best popular character online simulation selection of the Golden Phoenix Awards at the end of the year, the number of votes for Erlang God Yang Jian rose rapidly, and now he has come from behind to enter the top ten.

And the number of votes is growing rapidly, as long as you make it to the top five, you can be nominated for the 2021 Golden Phoenix Award for the most popular role of the year.

Even if you don't succeed in the end, being shortlisted is a pretty good achievement.

Not to mention, the actors and works can be added to the encyclopedia information card and the honor column.

Don't underestimate this one, the actor's resume and the influence of the work rely on the accumulation of this stroke, ordinary actors and works, if you want to write, you can't add dry goods to it.

The day after the finale of "Baolian Lantern", the final ratings of the whole drama have finally been obtained.

3.04%

Shanhe is the fourth to break 3 TV series this year.

The main creator of the crew of "Baolian Lantern" was boiling with the high-level of mountains and rivers, and even Zuo Le was a little surprised.

No one would have thought that the drama "Baolian Lantern" would be so popular, before the broadcast, everyone's estimate was between 2.5~2.8, and the goal was similar to "Divine Doctor Xilaile".

As a result, now "Baolian Lantern" has broken 3, which is definitely a big surprise.

At the same time, the success of "Baolian Lantern" also made Shanhe and even the entire entertainment industry see the prospect of Chinese mythological themes.

In fact, the popularity of mythological elements has begun to appear before the popularity of "Magic Mobile", but at that time, because "Magic Mobile" was still mixed with elements such as magic and time-travel, it did not attract special attention.

Therefore, Zuo Le and Shanhe launched "Baolian Lantern" to test the market, and the feedback was unexpectedly good.

This surprised Shanhe greatly.

Mountains and rivers have the level of producing large-scale TV series such as fantasy, martial arts, and Xianxia, and the "Seven Swords" series is the best proof of this.

Because of this, Shanhe wants to maintain a stable production of this type of TV series.

However, although the production level is qualified, a good script is rare.

Especially in martial arts, there are too few original masterpieces, and even Zuo Le has no inventory in his hands, so he can only drum up the masterpieces of martial arts masters such as Jin Gu if he wants to shoot.

And this kind of remake of a masterpiece is very complicated in many cases, there are too many classics in the previous work, and the trade-offs between the original book and the adaptation also take into account the thoughts of fans of the original work and fans of various versions.

Sometimes it's thankless, this kind of TV series, mountains and rivers are definitely not willing to touch easily.

Martial arts scripts are scarce, so we have to find a way in Xianxia fantasy and myths and legends.

Frankly speaking, there is no shortage of materials in these two aspects, even if there is no Zuo Le's golden finger, just relying on online literature and various legends handed down by China for thousands of years are enough to make mountains and rivers inexhaustible.

Sometimes, there is no shortage of good stories in the film and television industry, but what is lacking is the technology and attitude to make good stories into films.

And these two things are the best of mountains and rivers.

Zuo Le himself understands that the golden finger does not mean omnipotent, the scripts in it may not be inexhaustible, and these scripts have advantages and disadvantages, and there are only a small number of scripts that are really considered high-quality.

This point Zuo Le has carefully counted by himself, and he now has a lot of film and television works in his goldfinger library, but most of them are ordinary goods, a small number of them are above the level, and the classic level works are only a tiny handful.

The shelves of Shanhe taking the boutique route have been erected, so you can't go to make bad dramas to ruin your reputation.

Therefore, as there are fewer and fewer high-quality scripts in the film library, Zuo Le has also begun to plan early just in case.

Since last year, the Sunward Screenwriting Department has begun to consciously increase the creation of original scripts, for these scripts, the company may not necessarily shoot, but there must be.

If there is an accident at the critical moment, the mountains and rivers will not be disconnected from the script.

Of course, this kind of purely original script rarely appears in high-quality products, so Zuo Le put the idea on adaptation.

History, mythology, and online IP, these are all ready-made plot stories, as long as they are carefully adapted and polished, there is great hope for high-quality scripts, and they are born with a wide audience.

Later, Zuo Le thought about it for a while, and eliminated most of the online IPs for many reasons.

The most important points are, first, many scenes are too big and difficult to change, and second, the plots of some online articles do not conform to the official lines of film and television productions.

Third, although online articles have developed rapidly in recent years, except for a few head works, most of the online articles have not become popular enough to go out of the circle, and the audience is limited.

Coupled with copyright issues, it is estimated that it will have to fight with the author and the online text company, and in terms of cost performance, it is far inferior to adapting Chinese history and mythological stories.

No matter how popular the online articles are, they can't compare to the popularity of stories such as Nezha and Nuwa Mending the Sky, and no matter how powerful the design of the protagonist is, there is no more real legend than historical figures such as Li Bai, Qin Shihuang, and Zhu Yuanzhang.

As long as you grasp the essence of the adaptation and cooperate with the excellent production, the audience's reputation is definitely too good.

Everyone was still a little hesitant before, but the success of "Baolian Lantern" this time has completely proved that this road is feasible.

At least the audience is still very interested in the theme of Chinese mythology.........

On the evening of October 27th, Zuo Le held a video conference, and the senior management of Shanhe almost unanimously approved the project of "The Prequel of Baolian Lantern", the script was accelerated, and Gao Xinjian was responsible for filming next year.

At the same time, the Shanhe screenwriting department began to sort out and select the original mythological drama scripts, and Zuo Le relaxed to the screenwriting department for the first time, if they came up with an original script of good quality, the company would set up a project to shoot.

.........

Shanhe is not the only one with vision in the circle, and soon news came out that two entertainment companies were preparing to shoot mythological dramas.

One is the theme of Journey to the West, and the other seems to be related to Jingwei reclamation.

Shanhe is very calm about this, in fact, although the mythological theme is not popular, it has not been broken over the years, but there are only a few brilliant ones, and most of the rest are money-losing goods.

The reason why the script hit the street is a secondary reason, and most of them are unqualified productions by the crew.

Props, group performances, live scenes, special effects, costumes, .........

Not all companies can be as willing to pay as much as Sunward, and Sunward dares to adapt original mythological dramas because the production technology and attitude are here, and they have the confidence to shoot film and television works well.

As for other companies, if they change it, it's okay to say, if they still fool the audience like before, no matter how good the story and theme are, it's useless.

Anyway, "Baolian Lantern" has caused a little mythological fever in the circle, just like the martial arts fever and sitcom fever caused by mountains and rivers at the beginning.

However, the last two times the results were miserable, and this time I don't know where it went.........

.........

ps: The book "The Leisurely Life of the Giant Panda" is recommended by Sanjiang, which is an excellent new book in the same period
