Chapter 138: Restore the original work
So although he was helpless, Li Guoli still agreed.
After thinking about it, Li Guoli asked, "Cai ...... Supervisor, how about letting Huo Yan renew the building?"
"Huo Yanzhonglou?" Cai Yinong was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously frowned, but after thinking about it, considering Li Guoguo's emotions, Cai Yinong just thought about it, but he seemed to think of something.
asked uncertainly, "I feel that the boss seems to have some opinions about Huo...... Why don't you ask the boss?"
"This ......" Li Guoguo's eyebrows furrowed.
He looked down on Mao Yi a little.
It's normal.
Originally, he was a good director, but the company was suddenly acquired, or when Sugar Man was the most difficult, how could Li Guoli be convinced?
It's just that Cai Yinong has admitted it, what can he do?
Although the director is very important in the Chinese entertainment industry, in the final analysis, without Cai Yinong, he may not be able to make a good script.
Being a director and being a producer are two different concepts.
Being able to do one well does not necessarily mean that you can do another well.
There are very few people in the industry who can do both.
So he can't really say anything yet.
Seeing Li Guoguo's dissatisfied look, Cai Yinong thought for a while and said, "Then I'll talk about it." ”
"Yes. Li Guoguo nodded.
There was no refusal either.
This kind of thing was originally more appropriate for Cai Yinong to say.
Cai Yinong called Mao Yi.
"Huo Yan Chonglou?" Mao Yi thought about the shape of Chonglou in his heart......
It seems to be quite emotional.
Huo's acting skills are not bad.
It seems that he also played a bad guy in his previous life, and his performance was also good.
But now......
Can he do it?
And the heavy building itself is not bad, but lonely.
However, considering that there was indeed no suitable candidate, Mao Yi agreed.
"By the way, show me the script first. Mao Yi suddenly thought of something and said casually.
"Uh, yes. "Cai Yinong is no exception.
will even take the initiative to talk about the script and hand it to Mao Yi.
After all, this drama is a costume fairy tale drama, and the budget required is indeed a bit much.
Mao Yi doesn't nod, who can shoot it?
Cai Yinong hung up the phone.
Mao Yi nodded his fingers unconsciously, thinking about his thoughts.
Although "Sword and Fairy III" in the previous life was changed again, compared with the thunder drama in the later life, it can already be regarded as a classic.
But it doesn't mean that this play is flawless and there are no problems.
Still the same old question.
When adapting the script, I still didn't follow the original book.
TV series and movies are different.
The movie time is short, and all the plots must be condensed in order to achieve more effective performances and better performance effects.
But the TV series itself is long, and if you don't follow the original book, you will naturally not be able to win the recognition of game fans.
But it's a pity that today's directors take adapting the original work as the standard, as if they can be stronger than the original work of the author who has aroused countless fans.
This is not an exception, in fact, the vast majority of directors in the circle, especially older directors, have this kind of "stinky problem".
But Mao Yi knows that there are many film and television dramas in later generations, which will become popular on the basis of restoring the original work as much as possible.
And not some magic change.
This involves a question of popularity.
These old directors have basically made costume martial arts films to a greater or lesser extent.
Among them, Jin Yong's book has been photographed by many people.
There are many versions, and if you want to be different from your predecessors, you can only innovate yourself.
But with that, there is the entrainment of private goods.
However, this kind of behavior may be recognized by some people with the same three views, but for the vast majority of original fans, it is definitely a highly toxic situation!
For example, in "Sword and Fairy III", the Demon Respect Building has always been a hidden boss behind the scenes.
The Evil Sword Immortal was just a second-rate miscellaneous fish.
But in the play, it's the other way around.
The dignified Supreme of the Demon Realm, who was beaten by an elder's evil thoughts and vomited blood, was also plucked out of his horns, and was trapped on the pillar of shame as a hostage, it is really ......
As the flowering predecessor said, "Drama is not nonsense, and adaptation is not random editing".
The most speechless thing is that one dares to act, and the other dares to shoot.
However, this drama has become one of the classic Xianxia dramas.
Who to talk to?
Therefore, Mao Yi naturally wants to "correct" this evil trend.
The script must be based on the game!
Of course, Mao Yi knew that this would cause dissatisfaction among Li Guoli and others......
But if you are dissatisfied, you will be dissatisfied, and it will be a big deal to replace.
is not the only director Li Guoguo.
In his previous life, even Zhang Li, who created the highest rating in China, went to shoot ancient puppets, let alone a mere idol drama director?
Although it is a little difficult, as long as the money is in place, there is no fear that no one will come.
Maybe you can even invite Zhang Lilai.
With Zhang Li's level, filming an idol drama is really wronged by him.
But this is also a time when there is no way.
With the gradual decline of screenwriters, IP has become a must-win project for film and television works.
If he didn't film, Zhang Li might really starve to death.
He is a director, and although he is relatively famous, he does not actually earn much.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been filming.
Of course, this may also be a hobby.
But no matter what you say, there are always people who are willing to be obedient.
Without Mao Yi's reminder, the script was quickly delivered.
gathered all the screenwriters of Sugar Man and Zhou Yi, plus the three directors themselves also have screenwriting skills, so the script was completed a week later.
At this time, the second section of the New Year's festival at Station B is about to come to an end, and the company has also begun to prepare for the annual meeting.
After Mao Yi took the script, he put it aside without reading it.
Secretary Cai Yinong, who came to deliver the script, felt "groan!" in his heart, and after quietly saluting and saying goodbye, he hurriedly went back and told Cai Yinong.
Cai Yinong had an ominous premonition in his heart.
After two days, Cai Yinong, who couldn't help it, finally took the initiative to find Mao Yi.
"Boss ......"
At this time, Mao Yi was inspecting the preparation progress of the annual meeting, heard Cai Yinong's voice, glanced at her, and walked aside with a smile.
Naturally, all the staff around them stayed away from this side.
"Boss...... script of "Sword and Fairy III" ......" Cai Yinong didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly.
"No, I can't. Mao Yi didn't talk nonsense and vetoed it directly.
"Why not?"
"The script doesn't make sense. ”
"But ......"
"Go back and change it. Mao Yi said directly: "When am I satisfied, when will I be qualified." ”
"But the boss...... What standard?"
"Huh?"
"There must be a standard, right?" Cai Yinong asked helplessly.
"Games. Mao Yi said casually.
"This can't be!" After listening to Cai Yinong's relays of Mao Yi's request, Li Guoguo suddenly exploded.
"I still have to film like a game, so what do I need to do? I can shoot with just someone!" Li Guoguo roared angrily.
Cai Yinong looked at Li Guoli with an expressionless face.
Seeing that Cai Yinong didn't answer, Li Guoli snorted coldly and sat down angrily.
Cai Jian ...... I don't understand, why do we have to listen to a guy who doesn't understand anything?" said Li Guoguo through gritted teeth.
