Chapter Ninety-Six: The Black Queen
"Mr. Tang hasn't been here for a while, has he? ”
Liu Zheng and Tang Li are not familiar with each other, but this person is exquisite, he can talk to anyone, and when they meet, they are like old friends, and they start to blow all over the world.
But Tang Li is neither a person who can chat, nor a person who likes to chat, he likes to get straight to the point.
"I heard you're planning to change the script?"
"yes. Liu Zheng sighed: "It's very troublesome to leak the script." Even if it doesn't change much, the ending can definitely be changed. ”
Tang Li thought for a while and said: "I think that small changes are better than big changes, and it is better to change the end than to start from scratch." If there is a huge difference between the plot after the broadcast and the leaked plot, it will arouse the curiosity of the audience, and maybe it will stimulate a higher enthusiasm for chasing dramas. ”
"Huh?" Liu Zheng glanced at him in surprise: "What you say is a bit interesting." But ......"
He pondered for a while before he said, "Now more than a quarter of the original footage has been taken." Now that it's overhauled, the previous shooting is basically unusable, and the cost, time, energy, and loss are too great. ”
Tang Li nodded, he had not participated in the production of TV series, but he had been a nominal co-producer in "Angel Space" for two months, and he knew what the consequences of doing this would be.
However, for him, it is the ultimate task of his cousin, and he is facing a direct confrontation with the dungeon system, and these problems are not a problem, and even if they are really problems, they must be overcome at all costs.
"I know that these losses are visible. However, no matter how big the loss is, can't you just make up for it with money?"
"Take the money to make up?" Liu Zheng squinted at Tang Li, as if he was pondering the meaning behind his words, and then, his eyes lit up: "Mr. Tang, you don't want to make additional investment, do you?"
Now everyone knows how much cash flow Tang Li has in his hands. is another well-known sister protector maniac, and he will not hesitate to cost Xue Yiren. Therefore, since he said this, it is easy to guess that most of them just want to spend money to make up for the shortfall.
Tang Li smiled faintly: "Mr. Liu is really a person from Menqing. That's right, I have great expectations for this show. With Mr. Liu personally at the helm, the team is also the top team in China, if you can't come up with a high-quality hit drama in the end, isn't it a pity? Therefore, if there are any difficulties in the middle, as long as they can be solved with money, I am willing to help. ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Zheng's mouth: "So, how much can Mr. Tang vote for?"
"Then it depends on how much you lack?"
"How much is missing, how much is missing?"
"Make up for what you lack. ”
"Happy!"
Liu Zheng slapped the table and shouted loudly.
He roughly calculated that if he was to tear down and start over, the part that had been filmed would be completely abandoned, the cost of reshooting, and the loss caused by the adjustment of the actor's schedule due to the postponement of the filming, how could it be more than 50 million.
"I'll give 100 million. Tang Li said bluntly: "Since the remake is made, we have to do it according to the best, I don't want to ask for more, at least the opposite one must be completely suppressed." ”
Liu Zheng's eyebrows raised: "What Mr. Tang is talking about is Yi'an?"
"Who else could it be?"
Liu Zheng nodded slightly: "Indeed, they made it clear that they wanted to compete with us this time, and they invested a lot of money, and the cast is quite strong." ”
Tang Li looked at him and said seriously: "That's why I hope you can overhaul the script and make a different palace fighting drama." ”
"Different?"
Next, Liu Zheng pulled a few screenwriters, held it for two days, and came up with a new first draft. However, when Liu Zheng used this draft to ask the financier Tang Li for advice, he still frowned.
"What? no?" Liu Zheng was a little surprised, he had racked his brains and came up with a lot of new ideas, could he still not like it?
Tang Li squinted his eyes and pondered for a while before slowly raising his head: "Mr. Liu, I like to talk straight, don't you mind." This draft can't be said to be bad, but I always feel that it is still spinning in the usual routine, and some of the bridges are a little new, but they have not reached the point where they are bright. ”
Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then sighed, and smiled bitterly: "Brother Tang, it's difficult." Gong Dou House Fight, the routine of this kind of story has been written by countless people, and I am tired of watching it. How easy is it to write something that will stand out?"
In the next two days, Liu Zheng held back another draft. After Tang Li read it, he only asked him one question: "Do you think with this script, can you kill "The Legend of Yi'an"?"
So he went back to suffocation.
After three drafts in a row, Liu Zheng was a little anxious: "No, I really don't have any ideas." Why don't you help write a draft? Don't you also have to write a plot when you make copies? It should all be the same, right?"
In fact, there is no need for him to say it, Tang Li has been thinking of a way for a long time. Comparatively speaking, Tang Li's script level is very average, but his brain hole is really big enough, and he often has some strange ideas.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a few days, he already had some vague thoughts, and when Liu Zheng asked him for help, he naturally took out the things he had already thought of.
"Mr. Liu, actually, I don't have any special ideas about the plot, and I'm not good at this myself. However, I have recently made up for some palace fighting dramas, and I always feel that the most aesthetically tiring thing is the heroine's character problem. Almost all of them are white lotus attributes, even if there are some changes or even blackening in the later stage, they are always excluded and calculated by people in the early stage, and it is very annoying to cry and cry. I'm wondering, can I simply subvert the heroine's personality, from the beginning, it is the black type, when I am bullied, I will never swallow my anger, and I will not stay overnight if I step on and slap my face. ”
The corners of Liu Zheng's mouth twitched, and he was very surprised when he looked at him: "Aren't you the female version of Long Aotian? I've also seen some female frequency novels that have been used, but it's made into a TV series, is this really good? Will it cause disgust?"
"As long as it's handled well, there should be no problem. Tang Li looked confident, and the more he talked, the more excited he became: "Today's people are hard enough in reality, and they have to worry about the protagonist when they watch a drama." You say, "Are you tired?"
Liu Zheng finally stopped arguing and went back to hold the script for the fourth time.
This time, Tang Li had nothing to say about the script he took out. So the additional 100 million investment was immediately received, and the crew was back in operation.
Before the start of the reshoot, Tang Li gave the crew a requirement that no one should not leak any details of the new script before the filming is completed or even before the TV series starts, but also must not enter all copies. Because the loss of the script happens in the copy, this kind of thing will happen the first time, not necessarily the second time. When the time comes, you won't have to do it all over again, right?
The filming of the new script changed the whole plot, and Xue Yiren went from crying and crying to a black queen in an instant. The acting is also quite enjoyable, one slap in the face, and three promotions. Killed all the way, and finally counterattacked the queen's position. This way is completely new and unprecedented, so that the on-site cast and crew who have not yet seen the finished film are already looking forward to it.
During the three-month shooting cycle, there were no more accidents, which made Tang Li, who had always been worried that the copy system would continue to make ghosts, secretly relieved. It may be that the other party thinks that the previous means are enough to make this TV series hit the street, so there is no need to continue to take risks.
It should have guessed that it had noticed its presence. If you are not careful, you may get it into a very troublesome situation.
During this period, Tang Li relied on the task tax brought by the completion of a large number of film and television dramas in the film and television base, and finally repaired the administrator tool of the explosion. However, to his dissatisfaction, the mid-level store is still as stable as Mount Tai, and it doesn't seem to have the slightest intention of upgrading.
And what he can get to the lottery is still the universal tool burst component. Tang Li began to wonder if in this world, he could only light up the Intermediate Administrator Tool Shop, and if he wanted to open the Advanced Tool Shop, he might have to enter other worlds.
Other worlds?
Tang Li couldn't help but think of what Zhang Xinyuan said, there are many worlds like this world, so many that he can't imagine it, Tang Li can't help but feel a little inexplicably nervous. If the purpose of his existence in this world is for his cousin's mission. So, who are you? Are you a real person?
Seeing that it is approaching the end of the year, the major entertainment awards in China are ready to start distributing pork.
It is no surprise that "Mountain Village Teacher", a pure literary film that unexpectedly won a high box office, was nominated for the domestic Golden Goose Award. From Best Picture to Best Director, to Best Actress, and so on. Except for technical awards such as special effects, which are definitely not touched, and the actor who has no sense of existence, this film is almost complete.
The industry generally believes that there is almost no suspense for this film to win the best picture and best director, and the double harvest of the film's box office reputation during the release period is the biggest guarantee. And the Best Actress is the biggest attraction of this year's Golden Goose Awards. Because Xue Yiren has become a quasi-first-line flower in China through this film with his wonderful performance. But at the beginning of the year, there was another literary film "Mother", in which the performance of the heroine was also eye-catching. And this heroine is Fang Lingling.
This means that the duel between the two people, from the box office battle in the middle of the year, the turmoil of changing roles, to the award battle at the end of the year, can be said to have attracted everyone's attention.
And among them, the most worried is Tang Li. He knew very well that this was a battle directly related to the success or failure of his cousin's ultimate mission, and it was absolutely impossible for the dungeon system to sit idly by. When the time comes, the secret war behind it may be extremely treacherous.
