Chapter 781

In addition to Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli's husband and wife "Lichun", there is another script that Wang Jinghua also found, "Li Mi's Conjecture".

In her previous life, as a loyal fan of Zhou Xun, Song Zheng paid attention to every one of her works, and "Li Mi's Conjecture" has naturally been watched many times.

The director of this movie, Cao Baoping, is not very famous in the film and television industry, and he has not achieved too many dazzling results before, mainly because he has been engaged in behind-the-scenes work before, Song Zheng still listened to Wang Jinghua's introduction, only to know that this Cao Baoping graduated from the screenwriting major, and also understood why the structure of this movie looks so "standardized".

The entire frame of the film is distinct and decent, with the beginning, development, high tide, and ending, and the plot points are relatively easy to perceive.

From the plot point of view, the story has two lines, the line of Li Mi and the line of Fang Wen, of which Li Mi is the main and Fang Wen is the supplement.

At the beginning of the film, these two lines set off together, meeting and separating several times in the middle, and finally at the end, Fang Wen was arrested and fell off the railing and died.

From the perspective of genre, this is a fusion of romance and crime films, Li Mi's search for Fang Wen and Qiu Huogui and Qiu Shuitian's search for Fang Wen's joint are the two major driving forces for the story to move forward, of which love is the main thing, and crime is supplemented.

The core of the story is the obsession in love, perseverance in love, and four groups of characters are used, Li Mi and Fang Wen, Qiu Shuitian and Xiaoxiang, Ye Tingcheng and his wife, Fang Wen and Fei Fei.

Among them, Li Mi and Fang Wen's group is the core and the group that has been fully displayed, and Qiu Shuitian and Xiaoxiang's group are connected to the crime storyline, and they have also been rendered with a lot of pen and ink, which makes people sigh for Qiu Shuitian's infatuation.

However, in comparison, the presentation of the latter two groups is not enough, Ye Tingcheng and his wife have nothing to do with the development of the plot, it can be deleted, but for some reason it can be retained, and in the second half of the film, after Ye Tingcheng and Li Mi looked for Xiaoxiang together without success, when persuading Li Mi to lie to Qiu Shuitian, the most critical sentence is that Ye Tingcheng said to Li Mi "Sometimes deception is a good deed".

Because the film did not fully express the relationship between Ye Tingcheng and his wife before, and the story has nothing to do with the case, it is difficult for the audience to show too much concern about it, so the thick ink in the second half of the film not only has no effect, but is a bit of a snake, which disrupts the clean and compact narrative structure of the film in vain.

Fang Wen and Fei Fei's group is related to the case, but the relationship between the two is not much in the first half of the film, which makes the audience not impressed.

But at the end of the film, Fei Fei suddenly expressed her heart for Fang Wen, and Fang Wen also responded, "If there is no Li Mi, I will fall in love with you."

Due to the lack of foreshadowing, the confession at this moment is a bit confusing, and it also makes the rhythm of the story seem tedious and procrastinating.

If the relationship between the two was a little more ink before, or a distinctive and well-known actor was replaced to play this role, the emotions of the two may also become another powerful weight to highlight Li Mifang's love in addition to Qiu Shuitian and Xiaoxiang, and better point out the theme of love persistence.

In the first half of the story, until Li Mi escaped from kidnapping, the narrative rhythm is clear and smooth, which is mainly due to Zhou Xun's excellent acting skills, which plays Li Mi's nervousness, anxiety, and nervousness very well, and of course, there are also wonderful editing, which makes the plot full of tension and very eye-catching.

But in the second half of the film, due to the portrayal of Ye Tingcheng and his wife, Fang Wen and Fei Fei, the rhythm slows down and is a little chaotic.

In Song Zheng's opinion, Ma Bing is Fang Wen's secret, which should be rendered again as a cloud and mountain fog cover, which is a bit specious. prematurely making the audience and Li Mi believe that Ma Bing is Fang Wen destroyed the tension of the plot and reduced the emotional impact of Li Mi watching the video at the end of the film.

Although there are some shortcomings, as a love suspense film with a complete structure, the laying out of some details still brings a lot of small surprises to everyone.

For example, the abdominal pain medicine that Li Mi bought for Qiu Huogui ended up killing him, and Qiu Shuitian confessed that the connector would wear sunglasses, which suddenly reminded people of the beginning of the story, when Fang Wen crashed, the camera hit his sunglasses next to the seat, these small details echoed back and forth, adding a lot of fun to watching the movie.

In addition, some semiotic elements are also used in the story, such as the numbers that Li Mi talks about at the beginning of the film, seemingly irregular numbers, but they cast a touch of mystery and suspense on the film.

At the beginning of the story, Li Mi was driving on the viaduct, the camera quickly pulled up, and a big kite appeared in the sky, echoing some scenes of Li Mi's daily work taken by Fang Wen in the end video, it turned out that this kite symbolized Fang Wen's eyes following Li Mi closely and his love for Li Mi who never left the scene.

The most exciting part of the whole movie is naturally Zhou Xun, her image in the film gives people the feeling of being tired, her hair is messy, her lips are tight, and her hands holding the steering wheel are hard, and many times she seems to be distracted.

The Li Mi in Song Zheng's heart is what Zhou Xun looks like, and the changes of time and fate have not left traces on her delicate face, but are all frozen in her eyes.

There was youth and youth buried in her eyes, and there was nothing left, and there was heaven and earth in her eyes, and there was smoke in the air, but there was no one else.

Song Zheng likes to watch Zhou Xun compete with himself in the film, she said that I must find him, and then scolded: "Why don't you fucking die!"

It was the anxious cry of a person who had locked herself in her room, she hated the person who had locked her up, but she had forgotten that it was a constraint she had imposed on herself.

In the end, Fang Wen died, leaving behind everything he could leave Li Mi, and he told her in his own way that he loved her and loved her right by her side.

In the video, Li Mi is drying clothes on the balcony, loading tires on the street, arguing with passers-by, and he is walking in every corner of the city in a manly shirt, but he doesn't know that the person he is waiting for is in front of him who can be seen when he raises his head and can be touched by stretching out his hand.

In the end, Song Zheng thought it was over, but Li Mi suddenly appeared on the overpass, and suddenly talked about her and Fang Wen's past, a very inconspicuous past.

Zhou Xun's tone is like an unknown screenwriter talking about ideas that he is not confident in, even if he knows the deepest part of the story, it is the most sincere heart.

Song Zheng doesn't know why he made the decision to invest in this movie, maybe because of the story, or maybe because of the protagonist of the story.

In addition to these movies, 1+1 Company has also made frequent moves in the field of TV dramas this year, among which Song Zheng values the most is "Wulin Gaiden", which bought the copyright early but has not started filming.

That's right, it is the "Wulin Gaiden" that pushed the Chinese sitcom to a new peak.

Chinese sitcoms began with "I Love My Home", and since then, sitcoms of various themes have appeared, while constantly carrying forward the traditional Chinese drama, it is also constantly consuming the vitality of this theme, until "Wulin Gaiden" appeared.

Probably even Shang Jing and the God of Wealth didn't expect how popular "Wulin Gaiden" would be, until this drama was broadcast, and it swept across the country with lightning speed.

In fact, it is very simple to shoot "Wulin Gaiden", with rough sets and unfamous actors, you can win it with an investment of several millions.

But Song Zheng didn't want to, in his last life, there was rarely a TV series that could make him sit in front of the TV for hours, and follow the silly music non-stop, if anything, it was this "Wulin Gaiden".

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a classic, since it is a classic, it should naturally have a classic appearance.

The original version of "Wulin Gaiden" was filmed in a place called Pinggu, and the so-called film and television base is actually a copycat that was built up haphazardly to attract people to travel, but because of this play, that small place actually became popular, and countless martial arts fans ran to "pilgrimage" like a psychopath, wanting to see the legendary Tongfu Inn with their own eyes, Song Zheng also went there, but he was really disappointed.

Now that there is a chance to do it again, and the copyright is already in my hands, it is natural to shoot a different "Wulin Gaiden", at least in terms of scenery, it should be more exquisite.

Of course, Song Zheng didn't like this drama from the beginning in his last life, I believe many people are like this, 80 episodes are long, it makes people dizzy when they look at it, this is too much, after all, the relevant departments once stipulated that CCTV has a set of 8 o'clock in the evening golden drama, in principle, it cannot exceed 30 episodes, which is also difficult for those directors, if the movie can be made clear, he has to make it a TV series.

Song Zheng's attitude towards "Wulin Gaiden" at the beginning was definitely "disdainful", what was filmed, it was too modern.

But, somehow, I watched it and watched it, and as a result, I watched it without dropping, which was very funny.

A successful TV series must be remarkable in terms of character building, and the reason why "Wulin Gaiden" has become a smash hit and become a representative of the classic is obviously inseparable from the creation of flesh-and-blood characters.

First of all, there is no doubt that the first impression of all the characters in "Wulin Gaiden" to the audience is "real", and even their lines are all expressed in local dialects, so that everyone who has watched "Wulin Gaiden" will have such a feeling, it seems that there is a Shaanxi flavor of Tong Xiangyu and a Shandong flavor of Xing Zhutou by his side.

As a sitcom, "Wulin Gaiden" does not need many clichéd "peerless heroes", "patriotic heroes" or "crazy men and women" in TV dramas, and there is not even a disgusting villain, "Wulin Gaiden" is a collective diary of small people, innkeepers, running halls, cooks, handymen, no one can meet the standard of "put on the screen" in the traditional sense, and these little people have enriched the TV series with 80 episodes.

Not only do they have the advantage of being down-to-earth with the little people as the protagonists, but these little people are also extremely real at the same time, in other words, these are ordinary people on TV.

Maybe some viewers can't understand that a hot-blooded patriotic young man blocked the enemy's gun, let alone empathize, but everyone has more or less had memories full of life interest like Shopkeeper Tong asking Xing Zhutou for money.

At the same time, no one in "Wulin Gaiden" is perfect, everyone has their own unique shortcomings, Tong Xiangyu's slamming the door, Guo Furong's recklessness, Li Dazui's love of money, Bai Zhantang's timidity, these shortcomings on each protagonist make the audience feel "just right", they should be like this.

And these real shortcomings are cute, everyone may have them, Tong Xiangyu's slamming of the door is like a certain aunt, and Lu Xiucai's pedantry is like a certain academic bully, because of the truth, the characters of "Wulin Gaiden" naturally make the audience feel friendly.

But at the same time, everyone in "Wulin Gaiden" gives the audience a lot of imagination and satisfies the loneliness of the audience because of the boredom of real life.

Although they are small people, they have more or less the mystery of their own "legend". No one could have predicted that Bai Zhantang, who was timid and loved money, was once the legendary "thief saint", and Guo Furong, who was simple-minded and loved to fight, turned out to be the daughter of Guo Juxia and the four famous catchers in the capital, and Mo Xiaobei, who couldn't walk when he saw the sugar gourd, became the leader of the martial arts alliance beyond everyone's reach.

All viewers know that these legends are simply absurd and cannot stand up to scrutiny, and everyone invariably, like a fairy tale, falls in love with these impossibilities.

Even if real life can't satisfy all the longing and imagination, why not fulfill a spring and autumn dream in that absurd martial arts?

A large part of the reason why "Wulin Gaiden" is anti-martial arts is that it is unusually calm, there is no peerless hero who seeks defeat alone, and there is no cold-faced killer who is bent on revenge, some are the most ordinary people who have experienced the rivers and lakes and are experiencing the rivers and lakes, or in other words, no matter what kind of rivers and lakes, life is still going on.

Just as Bai Zhantang in the play is a very typical example, he used to be a "thief saint" with the same name as "Chu Liuxiang", because he stole "General Fuyuan's Nine Dragons Cup" and "King Kang's Mansion Concubine Mirror" and fled everywhere, and even "every time I hear a knock on the door, I feel like I'm coming to arrest me", which seems to be very in line with the traditional "thief saint" setting, however, the fact is that the theft he made famous was a complete farce, after all, he was actually an ordinary person who was tricked by fate, and the famous "thief saint" shocked the rivers and lakes The second half of his life finally passed in a corner of the Tongfu Inn.

Mo Xiaobei accidentally became the new head of the Hengshan faction, followed by the leader of the Wuyue Alliance, the first hero of the rivers and lakes, and the leader of the Wulin Alliance, but in reality, she is still a child who quarrels with her elders for the sake of sugar gourds and goes to school.

In fact, this is a true portrayal of many people's lives, perhaps they have been ruthlessly joked by fate, perhaps, they have really succeeded and been admired by thousands of people, and after all, they are still ordinary people, quietly walking the road of life in their own place. Perhaps, this is also the reason why these characters are loved, because their life is the life of every ordinary person.

In addition to the protagonists who have attracted much attention, the shaping of countless successful supporting roles is also a highlight of "Wulin Gaiden", everyone who passes by the inn, with a strong hometown accent, has all kinds of interesting memories in the inn, and then leaves, perhaps many of the names of these supporting characters have long been forgotten, but it is these supporting roles that make each story flesh and blood, making the protagonist more vivid.

The role of "Wulin Gaiden" is to gather countless ordinary people, strengths and weaknesses, joys and sorrows, how can such a character not be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?

What Song Zheng is preparing to do now is not to reproduce a classic, but to create a classic.

The original version of "Wulin Gaiden", if there are some unsatisfactory points, the reason is that there is no money, and money is not a problem for Song Zheng.

20 million, such a large investment for filming a TV series can be called a big deal, and it is just a sitcom.

In addition to "Wulin Gaiden", in 2007, 1+1 Company has several other TV series to start filming at the same time, among which "The Years of the Corps" can be regarded as a continuation of the nostalgic theme of 1+1 Company.

Starting from "Blood Romance" to "Days Related to Youth", which is now being filmed intensively, "The Years of the Corps" can also be classified as this theme.

The influence of this drama in Song Zheng's previous life is naturally not the same as "Blood Romance" and "Days Related to Youth", but it also reflects the enthusiastic youth of young people in that era on another level.

The deepest impression left by this play on Song Zheng is that the hero and heroine are really in love, from the very beginning of the story, he is a personable, enthusiastic, and talented violin genius, in the eyes of many adoration or disobedience, in the tense almost frozen air, a difficult Yangchun Baixue Paganini Concerto, at that moment completely unexpected capture of her heart that seems to be very rigid and revolutionary. At that time, he couldn't see her, and all he saw in his eyes was the beautiful and delicate girl who loved the violin and art as her.

At the end of the story, he went through the torture of suffering, the departure of his lover, the death of relatives and friends, the framing of villains, and the tribulations caused by his youth and frivolity. The wind and snow on the black land of the Great Northern Wilderness, from a young man immersed in art and ideals, has become a calm and indifferent dark-skinned, full of Northeast accent of the Great Northern Wilderness left-behind educated youth, he performed the curtain call of the red song and dance drama he created, and said to the audience who stood up and applauded, I want to thank one person the most, she has accompanied me through all the ditches and hurdles, and she has accompanied me through all the life and death.

How much does a person have to love to be like her, always uncomplaining and quietly giving, he fell in love with the beautiful violin girl, maybe it only took a moment, and he fell in love with her, but after she was entangled with all the ups and downs of his fate for a long time, and finally found that he could not separate her from his life.

The two children of the former lovers have been jumping around for a long time, and the traces of the years are engraved on the body, and they suddenly look back, choked up and can't speak, is it too difficult to love someone like this.
