Chapter 324: Thoughts
Xu Qing also had a temporary idea, and when he was before, he actually didn't think about letting Lu Ziping star in "Notes on Tomb Robbery".
It's not that the relationship between Xu Qing and Lu Ziping is not in place, but to put it simply, Xu Qing himself, in fact, was not prepared to have any say in the filming of "Tomb Robbery Notes" directly at the very beginning.
Authors, in the end, are just authors. The investor spent money to buy the copyright authorization, and since then, the author has not had much influence on the specific situation in the film and television drama.
People have to replace the male number two with the female number two, so that this one is a little ambiguous with the protagonist or something. The author of the novel can't be stopped at all.
Originally, it was such a situation.
There is a big difference between the form of expression in terms of words and film and television dramas.
What the novel wants to express is the consideration of the author of the novel. But in fact, in the hearts of other directors or something, it is very likely that such a story is still a little less visually impactful to the audience, so it is normal to make appropriate changes.
If the author of the novel has to be a director or assistant director, in fact, many times, it is a situation where an amateur leads an insider.
Obviously, the author really has no professional ability, and his ability to control the crew is not up to par. Afterwards, I always felt that these people in the crew were too disobedient, which finally led to the plausible work filmed.
So in the final analysis, Xu Qing originally planned to improve his ability as a director, or before he had a trustworthy high-level director around him, Xu Qing himself was actually not ready to test the shooting of film and television dramas casually. In particular, it is impossible for Xu Qing to come up with high-grade works to test the waters for himself.
At the end of the day, if you can make a good movie as long as you have a good story. Is there any use for using the director?
But in fact, in reality, the director is the core of a crew. Garbage scripts, handed over to a good director, may make a somewhat interesting work.
But no matter how good the script is, if the director's ability is not up to par, he will have to hit the street 100%.
Xu Qing's consideration is to use "Half Past Six" and some other small investment works to improve his professional ability, and then personally participate in these things.
But "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is a work that Xu Qing took out when he just started. Xu Qing had actually prepared before, and when "Notes on Tomb Robbery" was finished, he must have had no time to improve his directing ability.
Of course, it is impossible to direct it yourself, and after the completion of "Tomb Robbery Notes", for the sake of the long-term value of the IP, it is impossible to hold the copyright of "Tomb Robbery Notes", and no one will let anyone shoot it.
If you want to do this, the popularity that you have managed to accumulate will drop in a lot. "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is such an excellent work, maybe it will really fall into Xu Qing's hands.
So Xu Qing had already thought about it a long time ago.
The copyright of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" must still be in your own hands, but when it is time to authorize other companies to adapt film and television dramas, you still have to do so.
Originally, Xu Qing prepared that "Notes on Tomb Robbery" would be adapted by a relatively mature team at least at the beginning.
And the copyright is in your own hands, and when you really want to do it, you can wait until the copyright authorization period has passed, and wait until Xu Qing's ability in all aspects has been improved, and then operate it yourself.
As for Lu Ziping's path, Xu Qing originally prepared to improve Lu Ziping's acting skills through some small places. After Lu Ziping's acting skills improved, he tried to control the role of killing Qianmo in "Flower Thousand Bone".
Similarly, he also missed the earliest stage of the broadcast of "Tomb Robbery Notes", so before, Xu Qing really did not consider this aspect.
But now, Jiang Ziyun came over to discuss with Xu Qing about the adaptation of "Notes on Tomb Robbery", and it was also revealed that the funds prepared by Ziyun Film and Television Co., Ltd. for the crew of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" are indeed a bit insufficient.
The situation of "Tomb Robbery Notes" is actually quite tangled now. In the four months since its inception, the actual value of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" on a big platform such as Huayu Chinese Network has not yet been brewed, let alone "Tomb Robbery Notes" promoted in radio channels.
In the final analysis, which work is better is actually a matter of feeling. Most readers, if they really like novels about tomb robbing. If the two works are almost started at the same time, then generally speaking, it is actually a feeling that I like both.
To say which one is better than which one is just a feeling, and it is difficult for ordinary readers to say what is better.
In the last life, many people actually preferred "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". In the final analysis, the reason why "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is so popular is largely because it is too messy.
Online, physical book channels, etc., there are at least three versions circulating. If you look at it and watch it in a different way, you find that you can't understand it a little bit, and the reader is also very entangled.
In this world, there is no such problem. What Xu Qing gave Zeng Yurou was the version that he felt was the most suitable and the most complete version of the main plot.
But in this life, Zeng Yurou's writing is indeed slightly worse than that of the great god.
However, because of this life, although "Notes on Tomb Robbery" came out on the radio earlier. But except for the Sufeng area, most fans of tomb robbery novels are more likely to come into contact with "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" first.
And in such a situation, first contact "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". Even if it was later confirmed, "Notes on Tomb Robbery" came out earlier than "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". In the hearts of readers, the first work on the theme of tomb robbery will inevitably have deeper feelings.
So the final result is that the level is obviously not lower than that of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but the popularity of "Tomb Robbery Notes" does temporarily have a big gap with the popularity of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
In this case, first of all, the theme of tomb robbery is still only popular in the fiction world and radio circles. The specific film and television drama market has not yet been developed.
In this way, companies with funds are still waiting to see if they will start. Second, even if you start, you will often choose the more popular "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". This led to the fact that the situation here in "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is a little embarrassing.
When a well-funded film and television company, eighty percent will stare at "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
Therefore, "Notes on Tomb Robbery" can only be encountered in a small investment company.
Jiang Ziyun was the first to contact Xu Qing, but in the final analysis, this investment is indeed a little less.
But it was precisely because Jiang Ziyun's investment was small that Xu Qing had some other ideas.
