Chapter 0181: A Luxurious Feast
The reason why Li Wenxing put the first scene in the play "Looking for Qin" was filmed at the end in order to facilitate the creation of such a scene.
Standing in the center of the exhibition hall of NUO University, within a radius of five meters from Li Wenxing, it was surrounded by specially invited lucky audiences, media reporters who came spontaneously, and relatives and friends of the crew members.
Looking around, there was a black press, not to mention two or three hundred people, at this time crowded all corners of the entire exhibition hall, and there were even people outside the door who could not enter.
With so many people, throwing a grenade into it would definitely cause the biggest terrorist attack of the century, ahem!
In short, there were many guests and noisy people, and when Li Wenxing officially announced the completion of the series, everyone spontaneously applauded and lasted for a long time.
"Okay, everyone stop, I have better news for everyone......"
was coerced by everyone's enthusiasm and applauded for a long time, and when the applause dropped somewhat, Li Wenxing took the opportunity to suppress people.
When everyone at the scene heard that there was still good news to be announced, they also closed their voices accordingly, stopped applauding, and stared at Li Wenxing standing in the middle of the circle.
"At this moment, all the footage of the episode "Xun Qin" has been roughly cut, second cut, and only the last fine cut remains, as well as dubbing ......"
There was another round of applause, and the production progress clearly exceeded everyone's expectations, and everyone was in high spirits.
Especially the team of original book fans who were invited to participate in the press conference, the applause where they stood was the loudest.
"Everyone may be surprised by our production progress, and after the surprise, they may have doubts, if we do it so quickly, is the quality of the episode very poor, is it shoddy?"
When the applause gradually fell, Li Wenxing continued to speak, and began to use his voice to drive everyone's thinking, invisibly controlling the atmosphere of the scene.
""Looking for Qin" is the official meeting with you on March 10 this year, the first physical book published on April 10, and the adaptation of the drama series of the same name proposed by Christie's on April 22......"
"During the finalization of the script of the series, we hired a total of 135 editors from the Star Literature Club, Commercial Radio, Sing Tao Newspaper, and Jasic TV, which is definitely a ......number that breaks the screenwriting record of all film and television works in the East and the West."
Wow, no need to ask, there should definitely be applause here.
Li Wenxing's speech was not exaggerated, and even this figure is only the number of editors-in-chief, not all kinds of assistant editors.
For example, an assistant who is responsible for verifying the history, humanities, customs, and other aspects of the Warring States period.
He is also a film and television screenwriter and director who participated in the compilation as a consultant, and a scholar and professor majoring in ancient culture and history.
If all these people are added, the total number of screenwriters will definitely increase to more than 300.
In fact, the number of screenwriters is only a marginal issue, and the cost of this is scary to say.
Although using their own people to save money, such as Commercial Television, Sing Tao, and Jasic, including the editors of Li Wenxing's own company, after completing the adaptation task, at most they will give out some bonuses.
You can hire outsiders to participate in the screenwriting work, even if everyone only gives out a thousand red envelopes, a hundred people get 100,000 yuan.
The problem is that you can't get the reward of a thousand yuan, and you have to hire a professional.
For example, some old screenwriters and senior directors who need to be used will hire someone with this honorarium, and it is estimated that they will call you back without reading it.
Then some people said, why invite these people, isn't that redundant? Adapting a TV series, isn't it just a random person who can adapt it?
Some of the time-traveler predecessors can get a script by one person, and even writing a script is simpler than writing a diary, it is completely a photocopier, which can be copied in batches.
In this regard, Li Wenxing just wants to laugh, such a brainless plot will only appear in those third-rate ones, where the author forcibly hangs up in order to give the mentally handicapped protagonist.
Not to mention anything else, even if it is to give you a TV series and let you write while watching, or even just let you copy the dialogue, how much can you copy in a day?
Not to mention the speed of copying, you can open the protagonist again, let him become a fast hand superman, and he can write tens of thousands of words a day with handwriting.
But if you don't have the relevant knowledge of film and television actors, or you were just a third-rate graduate in your previous life, then you will be omniscient and omnipotent immediately after being reborn and become a master screenwriter/director?
Not to mention, a TV series will also involve details such as character costumes, scene props, lens selection, lighting colors, and so on.
Even if you forcibly open the protagonist and give him the ability to remember and forget, he can completely copy the dialogue of the actors of the original TV series.
Every TV series, except for a few dramas such as sitcoms that do not need to change scenes frequently, which other TV series does not have frequent scene changes and frequent shots?
If you don't retell them shot by shot, are you sure you're creating a script? It's just monologues, okay?
Without these details as a reference or restriction, you are sure to take out these film and television scripts for the actors and directors of this era to shoot decades in advance.
Can the shot be the same as the original in your head? Even different editors will cut out the version in very different styles, why can they still be so popular that they don't have friends?
You might say, as long as the story is good, the other scenes, the costumes, the props, the shots, those don't matter at all.
Therefore, brainless is brainless, not to mention anything else, even if it is an adaptation of the four famous novels such as "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West".
Why do the 75 wireless version, the 77 Jasic version, and even the 10 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" shoot on Tianchao Terrace all pounce on it? On the contrary, only the 87 version has become a classic?
"Journey to the West" is an adaptor like a carp crossing the river, but how many versions can make everyone regard it as a classic?
Do you really think that just by copying the original actors' lines and dialogues of the film and television dramas, you can perfectly replicate another classic?
If it was really that easy, why did Li Wenxing spend such a large amount of money and invite all kinds of professionals.
The main body starts from the humanistic customs, etiquette system and other aspects of the Warring States period where the story of "Xun Qin" is located.
In terms of details, we start from the scene layout, props, costumes, and character dialogues of each shot in the series.
Since Li Wenxing decided to shoot this "Looking for Qin", what he wanted was not just a shoddy plagiarized copycat product.
What he wants is an epic classic drama that can really lead everyone to 'find Qin' and let all audiences dream back to the Qin Dynasty together.
Although limited by the narrowness of the filming location, the part of the drama involving the architecture of the Warring States court cannot really reach the level of actual shooting of a certain store film and television city in later generations.
Except for this shortcoming, in all other aspects, Li Wenxing has done the best he can, and his efforts will not be in vain.
In the near future, I believe that it will be able to bring an unprecedented luxurious feast to the Chinese people of this era and all those who like Chinese culture.
