"Journey to the West is very popular in Hong Kong and the ratings are quite good, and in Japan it's a little bit worse, but it's not bad. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" In the training base of the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", Li Xu said this to Director Dai and Director Wang.

In the venue not far away, the warblers and swallows sat together, and people kept getting up to perform in the circle, and what was going on at the moment was the music that Li Xu had taken a fancy to.

"However, Japan has already filmed several versions of "Journey to the West", so it is a pity that it is not as popular as Hong Kong. Li Xu continued, "I hope that Dream of Red Mansions will surprise them." ”

"I'm sure it will. Director Wang immediately said, "The film will start at the end of the year at the latest, and the selected characters are all ...... that are very in line with the original work."

He introduced the work they had done during this time very carefully, and Li Xu listened very carefully - of course, it just looked like he was listening carefully.

He doesn't have any hope for the ratings of "Dream of Red Mansions" in Japan, "Journey to the West" can be popular, that is because there is a mass base, and the stories are all familiar.

So even though several versions have been filmed in Japan, and even in order to seek innovation and change, an actress named Masako Natsume was asked to play Tang Seng in the 78 version - in fact, before this, Tang Seng in the Japanese version of "Journey to the West" was also played by men.

However, as I said earlier, because there are too many times of filming, people are a little aesthetically fatigued, and under the pursuit of innovation and change, actresses are used to play Tang Seng.

In fact, although the 78 version of "Journey to the West" uses Masako Natsume, Tang Seng in the TV series is still a man. However, most of the audience is not interested in paying attention to this, they only know that the actor is a woman, and the actor is beautiful, which is enough.

However, this version sold well overseas, so Tang Seng's image began to develop in a purely female direction, so that when Japan filmed it in the future, it was played by an actress, and it was a female Tang Seng.

Back to the topic, it is because of such a mass foundation, plus other factors, such as the first time that the journey of learning from the scriptures was completely filmed, the most important levels of the 81 difficulties were also filmed, as well as the real scenes of the great rivers and mountains of the mainland, and Mr. Zhang's wonderful interpretation and so on.

Even though NHK, which claims to be pro-China, bought the broadcast rights, it is still favored by many Japanese people, and the ratings are still very good.

However, "Dream of Red Mansions" does not have this foundation, in the final analysis, this novel is aimed at the literati class, not the bottom of the public, no matter how much it has a foundation, it is still very weak.

There is a saying that in the past, there were four strange books that circulated among the people: "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin" and "Golden Vase Plum".

Later, some people thought that "Golden Vase Plum" was too vulgar, and it was a fanwork of "Water Margin", so they removed it, and "Dream of Red Mansions" became one of the four masterpieces.

Not to mention that there is anything wrong with this, after all, the literary value of "Dream of Red Mansions" is high enough, not to mention anything else, the description of the feudal family alone is very valuable for research. Moreover, in terms of the description in this regard, Cao Xueqin's first eighty chapters, compared with the forty chapters written by Gao E, know that the clothed servants of the Internal Affairs Department have not seen enough on the market.

But it's still that problem, it's not grounded, "Golden Vase Plum" can be ranked alongside novels such as "Journey to the West", that is because there are many contents in it that the people like to see. And ignoring those things, we can also understand the market style of the Ming Dynasty through words, which still has literary value.

It's a pity that who made "Golden Vase Plum" a fan, so he could only give way to "Dream of Red Mansions".

However, there are many Japanese people who know and read "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and many people know and read "Water Margin", but there are very few who know and read "Dream of Red Mansions".

In the absence of an audience base, unless a large number of house fighting elements are added to it, or all kinds of bloody plots that love to come and go, the dismal ratings are completely predictable.

Therefore, Li Xu paid so much attention to the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", and came to the training base to chat with the main person in charge of the crew, in addition to some dirty and ulterior thoughts, there is another purpose.

"If the film starts at the end of the year, it will be completed and released at least by the end of next year, right?" After chatting for a while, Li Xu asked Wang Fulin.

"It should be no problem," Wang Fulin nodded, looking very confident, "The basic skills of the actors are very good, and all the scenes are well built, if it goes well, maybe you don't have to wait until the end of the year to start filming." ”

"Then I'll wait, I just happened to graduate, our family's tradition is to come to the Far East to exercise, and you can visit anytime and anywhere in the future. Li Xu said with a smile, "By the way, what do you think of the filming plan of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"

He looked curious.

"This ...... We haven't thought about it yet. Wang Fulin was stunned, and then said with a smile.

"Hey?" Li Xu blinked, "Don't you even have a plan or something?"

Wang Fulin was not a little embarrassed, but the assistant next to him immediately took over: "That's the case, Mr. Li, we don't have enough resources now, and the scale of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is too huge, so we only have a general idea at present, and it has not yet been put on paper." ”

"Oh?" Li Xu was really curious now.

"That's right, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is different from "Dream of Red Mansions", most of the plots take place in Rongguo Mansion and Daguan Garden, and it can be said that there are scenes in the north and south of the river, so it must be filmed everywhere like "Journey to the West". However, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West" are different, the latter can be filmed in barren mountains and mountains, but the former also needs a large number of ancient buildings, so it is necessary to build some buildings......" The assistant talked eloquently.

Li Xu was shocked at first, I'll go, they really think about it? When did CCTV become so efficient? Awesome!

Later, I realized that this guy simply combined some characteristics of "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions", and then talked nonsense according to the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!

Li Xu couldn't help but praise in his heart, this is okay, it's a pity that CCTV doesn't raise his salary.

"Thanks, huh...... Mr. Zhou, right," Li Xu nodded, not mentioning his tricks, "Thank you for your explanation, but I would still like to see a written plan." Of course, it doesn't need to be too detailed, but at least there is something that is included in the outline, so that I can cooperate with you. ”

"No problem, I'll report to the director. Assistant Zhou immediately responded.

After saying some more words, seeing that the performance in the circle over there was over, Li Xu got up and said goodbye, and then.

"A few young ladies, if you can, can you let me and Miss Le say a few words alone?" Coming to Le Yun's dormitory, Li Xu stood at the door, knocked on the door and asked with a smile.

"No problem, no problem. One of the girls who lived in the same room immediately got up and walked out with a grin.

The other girl, whose face was not very good-looking, got up without saying a word and walked out.

Li Xu watched them leave silently, then walked into the room and found a place to sit down: "It seems that Miss Le's popularity is not very good?"

Although he stood up, he didn't know what to do, and replied blankly: "Huh?"

But she reacted immediately: "Yes...... I'm sorry, Mr. Lee, this ...... This ......"

Le Yun still didn't know what to say.

"Okay," Li Xu raised a hand, "Actually, it's not a big deal whether your popularity is good or not, the key is how capable you are, how talented you are, and whether you can endure hardships." ”

"I'm very hard!" Le Yun reflexively puffed out his chest.

"I believe," Li Xu laughed, pointing to Li Wei who was sitting next to him, "As soon as I arrived in Yanjing this time, my secretary sent your information over, and it can be seen that you are really working hard, not only successfully got the role of Wang Xifeng, but also had a high evaluation within the crew." ”

"Thank you...... Thank you Mr. Lee. Le Yun made a sigh of relief.

"You deserve it, and frankly, I didn't expect you to actually do it at first, just because there was a little backlash against someone who wanted to give the ignorant guy who wanted to encroach on my interests. Li Xu said.

Le Yun was a little confused, and didn't seem to understand, but the sentence "I didn't expect you to really do it" still understood, and he quickly bit his lip, and his face became a little sad.

"But since you have done it, I am also willing to give you a formal contract," Li Xu said at this time, "Let me ask you again, are you willing to go to Hong Kong or even the United States to develop?

"I ......" Le Yun showed a hesitant look, and her hands were also mixed together, as if she was very embarrassed.

After a few minutes of this, she sighed, lowered her head and said in a mosquito-like voice, "I want to go." ”

"Okay. Li Xu neither persuaded nor asked again, "Since you have decided, then I will go and tell your leaders." Then, from the start of filming of "Dream of Red Mansions", you will receive a stipend, which the company will use to improve your own life, and the specific amount will be discussed at that time. ”

"Huh?" Le Yun's eyes widened.

"Don't think it's for you, it's all a salary advance," Li Xu said again, "When you have an income, these are all to be repaid, understand?"

"Ming...... I see. Le Yun was still a little confused, as if he couldn't believe that there would be such a good thing.

"So be it. Li Xu stood up, "After negotiating with your leaders, I will have someone send the contract over, you have to take a good look at it, if you don't understand, ask someone to see it, I don't want to make any bad rumors." ”

"No, no, no," Le Yun shook her head repeatedly, "Mr. Li is a good person." ”

Li Xu waved his hand, and then left the dormitory with Li Wei.

"Boss, you're a good person. As he walked away, Li Wei hurried two steps to catch up with him and laughed lowly.

Li Xu snorted and was about to speak, when a figure bumped into him around the corner, and sat on the ground with a bang, and the water in the cup in his hand was all splashed on him, drenching a lot of it.
