Chapter 579: Unsuccessful
When he saw Li Mo smiling and walking into his office with a document bag, Zong Shuai's originally good mood instantly turned sharply. ,
After tossing for several months, and finally negotiating with Qin Hong about the acquisition of Xingmei Cinema Line, Zong Shuai thought that he could have a short vacation, but now it seems that his dream is almost over before it has even begun.
When Li Mo took out the things from the document bag and put them in front of Zong Shuai, he felt that his whole person was not good.
It's no wonder that Zong Shuai has such thoughts, mainly because what Li Mo is putting in front of him now is really a bit difficult to describe.
32 folios, published by Sanlian Press, two volumes, with large characters on the cover.
Book Sword Enmity Record!
by Jin Yong!
!
Aren't these just two ordinary books?
I, Zong Shuai, am also someone who has seen and eaten in this circle.
The project based on the original book has not only been handled by Zong Shuai, but also more than once, but like Li Mo, who has no preparation at all, he directly took the book, and it is really the first time he has seen it.
Even if Zong Shuai himself has never been a screenwriter and director, he also knows that Jin Yong can't just use it as a script.
Among the three martial arts masters of Jin, Gu and Liang, Gu Long's works are the easiest to adapt.
Because of the style problem, Gu Long's can basically outline the picture sense of the entire scene with a few strokes.
But the problem is, Jin Yong's can't play like this.
In Jin Yong's, the first character who often appears at the beginning is usually not the protagonist, but an introducer.
After relying on this introducer to enter the topic, some wonderful martial arts clips often start after two or three pages, and the plot is intriguing. and then use this "pseudo-protagonist" step by step, push down little by little, and use his perspective to open up the entire rivers and lakes. When appropriate, shift the perspective to the real protagonist.
At this time, the height of the whole narrative also began to catch up with the official history from the fictional and unknown character at the beginning. ,
To be honest, Jin Yong's feeling is very similar to the traditional garden of the Celestial Empire: turning the screen, seeing the porch, you think this is already a courtyard, a few steps of hard work do not allow you to sigh flowers, grasses, insects and fish, and a larger lake and mountains behind the porch have rushed into your eyes
It can be said that Jin Yong's story is very similar to Chinese gardens and higher Chinese philosophy, both of which are a restrained and prudent aesthetics.
But when Jin Yong's aesthetics need to be integrated with the film and television industry, problems arise.
For them, when they see the first picture of the movie and the first character who appears, they will unconsciously compare and make up the picture in front of them with the picture produced after reading it in their minds, and in this process, the movie picture will almost certainly be different from what the audience makes up in their brains
Therefore, Jin Yong's works are relatively easy to adapt into TV series, while movie adaptations almost always change the original plot to a mess
Thinking of this, Zong Shuai looked at the things in front of him suspiciously, and then looked at Li Mo suspiciously: "This is the movie you plan to shoot next?
"Don't worry, I'm calm. Li Mo really didn't look like he was talking nonsense, "I naturally know that Jin Yong's works are not easy to adapt, but since our company has obtained the authorization for so long by mistake, can we just let it accumulate dust in the warehouse?"
"I don't know what you're smoking, but the last sentence is like a human saying. ”
Muttering quietly, Zong Shuai picked up the one in front of him.
As a post-70s generation, Jin Yong is not a rare thing for Zong Shuai, Zong Shuai will pick up the book, more to evoke the memories in his mind.
In less than ten minutes, Zong Shuai had almost turned to half of the previous volume.
Suddenly, when Zong Shuai saw a certain name in the book, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he glanced at Li Mo thoughtfully, and then continued to flip back.
It didn't take long for the same expression to appear on Zong Shuai's face again
After another ten minutes, Zong Shuai closed the page, put it back on the desk, and looked at Li Mo with a smile.
It wasn't until Li Mo was covered with goosebumps when he was seen by Zong Shuai's eyes that Zong Shuai asked faintly: "Xiaomo, you tell me the truth, you, Xiaodi, Gu Limena, what is the relationship between the three of you?"
"It's nothing special," I don't know what's going on, Li Mo emphasized the word special, but there was always a feeling of forcibly covering it up in his voice
"Alas," Zong Shuai sighed, looking serious, "It stands to reason that I can't take care of your young people's affairs, but you are the boss of Molong Media, why should you pay attention to your image?"
"Besides, I'm asking you, three! Needless to say, between two and two."
"Brother Zong, I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense"
"Hehe, still pretending," Zong Shuai patted the book sword enmity record on the table, his face was speechless, "Xiaodi's Huo Qingtong, Meina's Princess Xiangxiang, if I can't even see this, wouldn't it be in vain for so many years?"
"Brother Zong, you are so powerful!
"Don't pretend, your movie is specially made for them" Zong Shuai was speechless, "Are you really willing to spend such a big amount of money for no reason?"
"This is also a double win," Li Mo nodded with a smile, "Aren't I still discussing with you?"
"Discuss, discuss your size!" Zong Shuai said angrily, "You almost sent me an email directly from the president's office, and you are embarrassed to say that this is a discussion?"
"Haven't I emailed yet?"
"You think about it," Zong Shuai almost blew his beard and glared, "Do you know that we can't use this directly?"
"For meow?" Li Mo flipped through strangely, "I don't think there's anything wrong." ”
In his impression, Jin Yong's works are no problem in the general direction.
Could it be that there is some foreshadowing buried in the book?
"Nonsense, let me ask you, who is the villain here?"
"Emperor Qianlong," Li Mo scratched his head, "Do you still need to ask?"
"Then let me ask you again, which dynasty and which generation of emperor Qianlong is?" Zong Shuai sneered and continued to ask.
"From the Qing Dynasty, if you count from the beginning of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in 1644, he is the fourth generation of the Qing Dynasty!"
"Hehe, you understand, right?" Zong Shuai knocked on the table, "What are you going to do with the slogans of those people in the Red Flower Society?
"I can change it to anti-Manchu Xinghan"
Dear, your Double 11 express has arrived, please come down and sign!
Harvest a look of caring for the mentally handicapped!
Sender: Zong Shuai!
Speaking of which, Li Mo figured out why Zong Shuai reacted so much.
Times are different!
The time when Mr. Jin Yong wrote the book Sword Enmity and Enmity was in 1955, and the place where the book was published was a newspaper in Xiangjiang.
At that time, there were many conflicts between the local Chinese in Xiangjiang and the local management agencies, so the Red Flower Society and the imperial court in the book of swords and enmity were also substituted by readers into the relationship between the citizens of Xiangjiang and the local management agencies at that time.
In the social environment at that time, this kind of camp antagonism was not only not a problem, but to a certain extent, it had the effect of subtly influencing readers
But now that times have changed, not to mention that Molong Media is a mainland company, even if it is a fragrant company, it is impossible to openly put such a sensitive story background on the screen in today's social environment
originally thought that he could take the opportunity of adapting the classics to open up a new revenue point for the company, and by the way, he could pick up his own company's sister paper, but who knew that this was not the first step, and it was about to be crushed to death
It's really a death before you can get out of school!11
