Chapter 213: I'll Think About It (5/6)

It should be since July, Shen Ming has been receiving scripts and TV drama scripts.

Who made him relented for a while and promised that the little girl wanted to make a TV series...

In fact, there are many scripts suitable for him on the market, many of which Shen Ming thinks are good, such as "Ten Years of One Product of Warmth", "Emperor Phoenix Industry", "Sword in the Snow", Noon Sunshine even picked three scripts "Lonely City Closed", "Summer of Blooming Flowers", "We Are Young", let him choose by himself...

However, either the filming time is too long, or he is not very satisfied with the scene, or the schedule is not right...

In short, they all refused.

The company bought the copyright of "Chang'an Guyi" and "Luoyang Daughter's Travel", and found a few screenwriters.

Frankly speaking, the effect of the adaptation is just like that, traditional martial arts, fighting monsters and upgrading, there is no room to play.

Sitcom, he didn't think about it at all...

Due to reasons such as the duration and star effect, it is unlikely that the TV station will arrange sitcoms in prime time at present, without such a time slot, it is impossible to have large production costs, and it is even less likely to invite big stars to join, which becomes a non-virtuous circle.

If the duration is extended from 20 minutes to 45 minutes, it is not quite in line with the creative rules of sitcoms.

In the era of the flood of IP adaptations, few people have dive into creating, and sitcoms have relatively high requirements for the screenwriter's own ability, plus there doesn't seem to be any theme about sitcoms in China, and there is no material for adaptation...

Moreover, some slow variety shows and reality shows have basically replaced the function of sitcoms.

Everyone's desire for sitcoms is not so much.

Director Shang Jing started with sitcoms, and he has a pursuit of this thing!

However, if new actors are enabled, it is unlikely that they will be broadcast on the stars, and they will not make much money;

With traffic, the production cost is particularly high, and the traffic may not be able to present the effect that Director Shangjing wants...

happened to hear that Shen Ming had the idea of acting in a TV series again, and the producer asked for his number, and then Shang Jing came to visit in person.

……

The meeting place was a private room in a restaurant, and Shen Ming came alone.

The first sentence: "Director Shang, can we change places?"

"Huh?"

"I've been on a diet lately, how about we change the teahouse?"

"Absolutely. ”

There are a lot of teahouses in Chaoyang District, and the two of them went to a place that said 'Qinghe Teahouse', found a remote corner, and after sitting down, Shang Jing: "I heard that you have been collecting scripts recently?"

"Well, I'm thinking about acting in a TV series that can be broadcast on TV for children in the mountains..."

“… That's the reason," Shang Jing nodded, "Then what do you think of sitcoms?"

Shen Ming thought for a while: "Difficult!"

“… yes, it's really hard!"

The biggest difficulty is, of course, the requirements of the script, for example, the classification of jokes includes verbal jokes, physical jokes and plot jokes, and the jokes should be very dense, which has very high requirements for the screenwriter, and there are few corresponding talents.

In the past two years, not only have there not been many domestic sitcoms, but foreign sitcoms have also been difficult to produce classic films like "The Big Bang Theory" and "Two and a Half Heroes".

Whether it's the United States or the United Kingdom, the overall quality of sitcoms is not high.

asked for a pot of tea, Shang Jing drank it and asked, "Do you know "Happy Hero"?"

""Happy Hero"? Of course I know, my favorite work of Gu Long is "Happy Hero", followed by "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword"!"

“… Have you read the original?"

"Guo Dalu, Yan Qi, Wang Dong, Lin Taiping... Director Shang, do you want to shoot "Happy Heroes"?"

Shen Ming instantly understood...

Shang Jing nodded: "I have this idea!"

""Happy Heroes" is indeed suitable for adaptation into a unit drama, and Gu Long himself said, "Each subsection of "Happy Heroes" is almost an independent story, even if it is viewed separately, it will not reduce its fun. ’”

Before "Happy Heroes", Gu Long wrote, in the final analysis, it was the same kind, or thrilling, exciting, tortuous, or good-looking, of course, there was no lack of anticlimactic, or even rotten tails.

He was a little tired, and said to himself: In the past ten years, there are no thousands or hundreds of kinds of martial arts published, and some stories have simply become old-fashioned and formulaic, and readers with old qualifications can guess the ending as long as they look at the beginning.

"Happy Heroes", when creating, is to have characters first, and then there is a story!

Martial arts, the most important thing is naturally martial arts and chivalry, but the most important thing in "Happy Heroes" is not these two, or even heroes, but joy.

Nirvana Foursome!

"Happy Hero": A cute Guo Dalu, a beautiful Yan Qi, a lazy Wang Dong, a simple Lin Taiping, living in a poor jingling 'Rich Villa', hungry and fainting every day, and drinking and telling jokes.

That's probably the story!

"Do you think it's good, too?"

"Of course!" After thinking about it, Shen Ming added: "If it's you, it's definitely good!"

As a martial arts, "Happy Hero" is actually not very popular with the film and television industry, because no one is sure that it will be filmed well.

"Xiao Li Flying Knife" and other legendary works have been filmed again and again, because his main line is clear.

Martial arts, there must be a big conspiracy, a big boss, a big story, and the protagonist fights all the way to look good.

"Happy Heroes" is trivial.

The one who can shoot trivial things brilliantly in China is Director Shangjing!

Shang Jing was full of anticipation: "Then are you willing to act?"

“… What?

Shen Ming was directly stunned...

He is a super first-line star in the mainland, acting in a sitcom?

No, do you know how much he's worth?

"Happy Hero", a sitcom, no matter how well it is cut, there must be 60 episodes, and the salary for a single episode is calculated at 1.5 million, which is 90 million!

In addition to salary, he can't take that much time...

It takes at least half a year to make a sitcom!

Half a year younger, there are so many things he can do...

Shaking his head: "My schedule may not be right..."

"You're not interested at all?"

"I..."

Brother Ming just wants to act in a martial arts, Yang Guo is out of play, and Chu Liuxiang can also...

I never thought of playing Guo Dalu...

Guo Dalu, a handsome man, doesn't quite fit Shen Ming's path...

But how to say it, heartbeat.

The whole heart is like someone scratching him, and he wants to challenge it!

thought for a while: "Gu Long's works are notoriously difficult to shoot, and the four protagonists of "Happy Hero" are all poor people, who must be in rags, and it is normal to not wash their faces and take a bath for a month. Are you going to do it exactly from the book, or are you going to recreate it yourself? And how many episodes are you going to make?"

"Let's shoot twenty episodes to test the water!"

“… Twenty episodes? Which TV station wants to buy twenty episodes?"

"Haha, as long as you agree to act, I can talk about CCTV!"

Shen Ming was a little entangled: "... You made me think about it..."
