After some struggle, Lin Xiaoling tried to make a change.

Of course, she didn't think about making comedies in the past, but planned to make a romance movie that would cater to the tastes of young audiences.

Romance movies are between business and art, they can be very literary or commercial.

It depends on how the director grasps it.

The ending of this kind of movie is very important, generally speaking, if the hero and heroine are not together in the end, it is biased towards art, and if it is a happy ending, it is a commercial film.

However, this boundary is very blurred, and it can only be said that the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise.

"Brother, I heard that you and Director Zhao discussed the remake of the TV series, I want to remake "Addictive", this TV series has an audience base, and it should be good at the box office if it is made into a movie." Lin Xiaoling proposed.

"Addicted" is a drama produced by the Beijing Television Art Center in 93, with only eight episodes.

The main actors are Wang Zhiwen, Jiang Shan and Liu Bai, although it is a short story, it caused quite a stir at the time.

Especially among young people, the lines in the play are talked about by everyone and become a buzzword.

This is the first romance drama in China, and Lin Xiaoling feels that it is suitable to be remade into a love movie with literary temperament.

"You're robbing Brother Zhao's job, do you want to use the original actor? They're not cheap right now. Lin Zixuan considered.

The director of "Addictive" is Zhao Baogang, but Zhao Baogang has always focused on TV series and has little interest in making movies. 【】

Speaking of actors, when Wang Zhiwen and Jiang Shan filmed this drama, they were not very famous, and the salary was very low, only a few hundred yuan per episode.

Now that it has been remade into a movie, Wang Zhiwen's salary is at least 800,000 yuan, and the actor's salary has risen too fast in recent years.

"I want to find a young actor and make a low-budget romance film." Lin Xiaoling replied.

This is a good choice, young actors are not paid well, "Addictive" is a chamber drama about the love entanglement of a young man and woman, and the investment of two million is enough.

Moreover, romance-themed movies will never go out of style, and with the audience base of TV series, making a profit is not a problem.

But now is not the time to maximize the benefits of a remake.

"Have you thought about it, this TV series has only been six years in the past, and it has not been precipitated enough in the minds of the audience, and your remake now is equivalent to spending in advance." Lin Zixuan reminded.

Remakes of classics are extremely common in the film and television industry, mainly to make money by exploiting the nostalgia of the audience.

The audience is not watching movies, but memories of youth in those years, which is a kind of feeling.

It's just that nostalgia also has a time limit.

Taking "Addiction" as an example, six years is too short a time for this TV series to settle into the hearts of the audience, or the audience has not grown to the point where they need nostalgia.

Young people at that time, still young people now, have not entered middle age, and talk about nostalgia.

Maybe the audience will go to the theater to watch the name "Addicted", but the effect will never be too good.

A decade of remaking a classic is a point in time.

Viewers who were 20 years old at the beginning become 30 years old 10 years later, starting a family, hoping for temporary relief from busy work and tedious family life.

Nostalgia is one of the best ways to get rid of it.

went to the theater to watch a film and television drama that I watched frantically when I was young, and I was full of emotion when I recalled the frivolity of my youth and the dreams I pursued.

Nostalgia is like fine wine, the older it gets, the more fragrant it becomes.

It's just that it can't be too long, ten to twenty years is the best, otherwise the audience will forget about it, and it won't make sense.

"In this way, then I'll find a remake of a TV series that lasts a little longer, how about "Desire"?" Lin Xiaoling pondered.

"You are really bold enough, you dare to touch this drama." Lin Zixuan was surprised.

If "Addiction" has caused a lot of sensation in China, the audience is mainly young people, and "Desire" has attracted national attention, regardless of the age level.

The 90% ratings are not to be said, hundreds of millions of viewers have watched this show, which is the collective nostalgia of the people across the country.

Once the film is not done well, ruining the classics is secondary, and it will definitely usher in overwhelming scolding.

It takes a lot of courage to remake this drama, and even Lin Zixuan will not touch it easily.

"Of course I know the impact of this TV series, and I don't want to make a remake, but a sequel." Lin Xiaoling explained, "The audience must want to know the follow-up news of Liu Huifang's family, ten years have passed, what happened to Liu Huifang and Song Dacheng, and what is the child named Xiaofang doing?" ”

"You mean to make a story in 1999?" Lin Zixuan pondered.

"It's the same as 'Coming Home', 1980 represents the past, 1997 is the present, 'Longing' is about the '80s, and I want to tell the story of their family in the '90s." Lin Xiaoling said.

The story of the nineties?

Liu Huifang was laid off and started self-employment, Song Dacheng contracted the factory and became the factory director, Wang Husheng went to sea and started trading, and Xiaofang went to college......

This series of thoughts flashed through Lin Zixuan's mind.

It should be interesting to integrate the fate of these people with this great era of reform and opening up, and tell the changes that have taken place in society in the past decade through the changes in their lives.

"Desire" is an open-ended ending, and the audience is always concerned about the fate of the characters in the play.

Many viewers have proposed to make a sequel, and the Beijing Television Art Center has discussed this matter, mainly because there is no good book, and everyone is not very willing to touch this matter.

didn't have a good book, and the actor didn't want to ruin his image, so he dragged it down.

Nearly ten years have passed, and the precipitation is almost over, and at the turn of the century, if the film version of "Desire" can be launched two thousand years ago, the influence will needless to say.

There is no need for propaganda at all, the media will report spontaneously.

"You have to think about it, once the news gets out, you're going to be under a lot of pressure." Lin Zixuan persuaded.

Although making a sequel is a little less risky than a remake, if you don't shoot it well, you will also be under a lot of pressure.

However, the benefits are self-evident, as long as the filming is okay, the audience will buy it, the box office is not a problem, as a director, Lin Xiaoling will become the focus of the media and be well-known by the audience.

In the past, Lin Xiaoling made literary films, and even if she won the award, she was only famous in the circle.

"Why don't I remake "Addicted"?" Lin Xiaoling retreated.

She just suddenly came up with the idea of remaking "Desire", and when she thinks about it, she is really a little hanging, and she has no bottom in her heart.

"You, it's just three minutes of heat." Lin Zixuan said speechlessly, "That's it, let's get the script out first, if the book is good, let's shoot it, if there is no good book, forget it, and then consider remaking "Addictive", you can't just think about success when making movies, you must also dare to take risks."
