Chapter 025: Zhang Xiaohua joins
April Fool's Day has just passed, and the Shenzhen market in April is still warm and cold. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Early in the morning, the Tencent Building, part of the newly established Tencent Pictures office area, welcomed many strange visitors one after another, displaying electronic invitations to internal screenings on their mobile phones and writing strange names in the registration book.
"The Master of Film Critics!"
"Watch the TV series, listen to me!"
"No one is as professional as me!"
"Douban Film Review, the King of TV Series!"
āā¦ā¦ā
If it weren't for the big celebrity next to Brother Xiaoma, Bai Yibai would have explained to them in advance, the two girls at the front desk would have been called security guards a long time ago, and these strange names also looked strange one by one......
"Look, there's another one!"
"This one is more ...... Wretched? Neurotic? Black-bellied? Tease? ā
The two little girls at the front desk, in the face of such a young man with a changeable temperament and mainly presented in an obscene state, did not have enough vocabulary for a while to accurately describe it.
"Here's my invitation!"
The person who came was a thin young man who looked to be in his thirties, with very thick lenses on the bridge of his nose, but there was no trace of otaku, a gray and black down jacket wrapped around his body, a Chinese-shaped face, and full of negative energy......
"Tick!"
While confirming the electronic invitation letter on the terminal, the visitor also wrote his name on the registration book: "Zhang Xiaohua!" After that, he went straight to the elevator and went to the large screening room on the ninth floor.
"Zhang Xiaohua?" One of the little girls at the front desk suddenly seemed to realize something and exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" The other is still in a daze.
"Hurry up, report to Mr. Bai! You forgot, the last sentence that Mr. Bai explained to us was that if a person named Zhang Xiaohua came, he must be notified in time, and he will greet him! ā
"That'...... Hurry up and let me know! ā
The other one also reacted, and the two little girls hurriedly found the phone and dialed Bai Yijiao.
ā¦ā¦
"Buzz ......"
Zhang Xiaohua took out her mobile phone, and when she looked at the caller ID, she was helpless.
"Hello?"
"Xiaohua, "Legend of the Seven Realms" is a book I wrote, your evaluation of the TV series version of "Legend of the Seven Realms", a little bit...... Now the producer calls me and says that you insist on not deleting the bad reviews, and you say that it is my instruction, which is ......."
"There is no trace of dreams, you guy, is it possible that you have also rebelled? is a good Xianxia work, such a grand fantasy world structure, stunned to be made into a shoddy low-end martial arts drama, the character design is even more messy, and the characters who are not added wantonly are added, and the addition is reasonable, but this kind of feeling of adding to the egg, and the face swears that he added an original character, which is very interesting, this brain...... It's full of! If it weren't for the sake of our acquaintance, I would have called the police directly and reported it! ā
"Uh...... I'm also very helpless, the children I worked so hard to raise, give them plastic surgery like this, even if the plastic surgery is over, I almost even have my brain replaced...... But the TV adaptation rights of this book are no longer in my hands, and after several turnovers, I don't know how much of the film and television copyright of this book is still in my hands...... I can see it clearly, if writers want their works to have a good end these days, they must participate in person, use the adaptation right as a bargaining chip, and never back down in terms of character and world structure, as well as the plot, so as to protect the integrity of the work, otherwise it will definitely be ruined into a thunderous fan drama by those evil capitalists who only care about playing with IP...... In other words, although this TV series is very blind, the ratings are still okay...... Words ......"
"If you have something to say, hurry up, I still want to watch a movie!"
"Watching a movie? Oh~~~~ ...... in broad daylight Well, let me ask, did you find any highlights in this TV series? Anyway, I called, you should at least disguise it, and then send a movie review to mention it, I haven't settled the balance yet! Recently, I have been a little short of money, and I am pointing to this money to fill my stomach, and now it is difficult to mix in the traditional publishing industry, and an older writer like me can only eat the old book now......"
"Hmm...... When you say that, I think of a bright spot, that little fox is good! Although it's an original character, in terms of the entire world structure, she's the only character that fits the painting style, as for the rest...... Let's put it this way, the other leading actors, they portray the characters as if they have traveled from the modern world, and they are shown as if they are real people in the game, and the whole screen is full of a sense of disobedience...... Well, this is a good idea, the whole world is a person who travels through time, even his own parents are people who have traveled through time, and only one of them is a native aborigine, and he describes it from the perspective of the first heroine...... This picture, this unfolding, is full of a sense of collision, and it is always exciting...... It's a pity that "Iron Fist Invincible King Xiaojun" still has to be updated......"
"What? What do you call that...... That's right, it's called Tan Songyun, the baby face who never grows up, and the little fox he plays? This one...... Yes! What do you think of her performance? ā
"How's the acting? Big brother, this is not a historical drama, let alone a martial arts drama, nor a modern drama, but a high-end fantasy drama, basically all of them are cut-outs, all of them are like big heads, you tell me about acting? Is there such a thing? ā
"Uh...... Anyway, I don't care, if I can't get the final payment, I'll go to your house, eat yours, live with yours, drink yours, sleep with you...... Ahem, what movies do you watch? Tell me, my wife and I have been ...... lately."
"I've arrived! I'll call you again in the afternoon when I have time! ā
Zhang Xiaohua ignored the obscene voice on the phone and hung up the phone.
"Hey...... I won't tell you that my novel has also been adapted into a TV series...... I won't leave you a chance to complain, hahahaha......"
It was only at this time that Zhang Xiaohua showed a lewd smile.
"Ding!"
At this time, the elevator door opened, but Zhang Xiaohua, who was about to take a step, was stunned, because Bai Yijiao, the chief producer of Tencent Pictures, who had met him several times, was standing outside the elevator.
"I've been waiting for a long time, Zhang Xiaohua!" When Bai Yiji saw Zhang Xiaohua, he stretched out his hand very boldly.
"Hello, Mr. Bai, you are too polite!" Zhang Xiaohua hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his hand and shook it, this kind of meeting ceremony full of politeness and contrivedness, he was actually quite repulsed in his heart.
"The first test screening before the launch of "The First Chaos in History" is about to start, and you, the original author, are missing......"
"Mr. Bai, I heard that this online drama, are you looking for professional actors? You have always said before that the crew wants me to be in charge, to be the chief screenwriter, and to be responsible for the plot control, if their finished film is too disappointing to me, then don't mention it......"
"Hehe, although the actors in this crew are not professional, but the acting skills are professional, the first three episodes of the film, I followed the whole process, from the beginning of the confidence, to now I have the confidence to organize such a unique test screening......"
"Oh...... In this way, you invited a lot of well-known online film critics to watch the film? ā
"yes, this web series...... This original drama, as the author, you should know that there are some contents in the original novel that are not very consistent with the country's serious historical attitude, and it can only be said that it is tested on the Internet, but I can guarantee that the sincerity is full of ......"
"Watch the film first, I haven't seen the finished film now, so I can't make a judgment!"
"Good...... Do you want me to introduce you to the plot first? For this original drama, we plan to make it into a sitcom similar to "Wulin Gaiden", where famous characters in history or on the rivers and lakes appear and live in Xiao Qiang's demolition building......"
"Demolition building? There must have been a lot of original characters, right? Mr. Bai, let's talk about everything after watching the finished film! ā
"Okay...... When you arrive, you go in first, and the staff will take you to your seat! ā
ā¦ā¦
The large screening hall on the ninth floor, a screening hall similar to a movie theater that can accommodate 200 people, sat nearly 100 people. In the first two rows, there are professional V movie reviews that are famous on the Internet, and they look like they are really ...... It's a bit shocking; The five rows in the middle are all video hobby netizens who are randomly selected from Tencent Video members with an activity of more than 80%, and they are all young people at a glance, and they look quite active, chatting one by one, without any strangeness; In the last two rows, there are moviegoers who focus on TV dramas broadcast on TV stations in reality, as well as some ordinary people randomly invited from the Shenzhen market.
Soon, Zhang Xiaohua sat down in the ...... under the guidance of the staff The position of the first row, the sudden sense of depression in the first three rows, made Zhang Xiaohua's palms faintly sweaty.
didn't wait long, Bai Yiji, who had cleaned up and stopped, walked out, and with a wave of his hand, a staff member took a thick stack of red envelopes and distributed them one by one.
After a while, everyone was holding a thick red envelope in their hands, everyone was an acquaintance, pinched it with their hands, and a trace of joy appeared on their faces, but the professional film critics in the first two rows pinched the red envelopes, and their brows were faintly furrowed.
"There is no other meaning, everyone has their own work and their own things, and I will gather everyone here today, please forgive me for the disturbance!"
"First of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Bai Yijiao, there may be many people who have heard of me, and some know me, but the vast majority of you definitely don't know my identity. This is the office area of the newly established Tencent Pictures, you don't have to doubt that this newly established Tencent Pictures is a company affiliated to the Tencent Empire, under the jurisdiction of Tencent Video, QQ Music, Tencent Animation three large websites; What about me, I am the chief producer of Tencent Pictures, you can call me Mr. Bai, at present, I am mainly responsible for the original channel of Tencent Video website, and today I invite you to come over, it is the first work produced by Tencent Video Original Channel, "The First Chaos in History"! Please support the original drama with the attitude of supporting the original drama, and leave a sincere comment after watching this work! ā
"Specific reviews, including what attracted you to this show? Do you hate those bridges? How would you rate this work? Where do you not understand? If this work is launched, will you join Tencent Video VIP for this work? ā
"There are 98 people here, there are professional film critics, and they have read countless films...... Well, don't laugh, they do spend more thought on film and television works such as movies and TV series than ordinary people like us, so their comments on this work should also represent the current mainstream attitude of the film and television industry towards film and television works. Of course, there are many loyal viewers who love film and television works, you are the main body that guides the mainstream trend of film and television works, and whether a good work can avoid the dust of the pearl and exude its due light depends on your views on this work. In addition, there are some viewers who are not keen on surfing the Internet, but a good original drama is also a very good spiritual enjoyment for them......"
"In the film and television works at this stage, there are too many dross, anti-Japanese dramas, bloody ethics dramas, mentally handicapped martial arts dramas, and strange historical dramas...... There are too many, we can choose to endure it, but a good work needs your support even more! This is the first work full of sincerity since the establishment of Tencent Pictures and the opening of the original channel of Tencent Video website, and we hope to take this opportunity to bring more and better high-quality original dramas to Chinese classic film and television works by relying on many popular online novels as IP! ā
"Don't say much, please see!"
As soon as Bai finished speaking, the spotlight went black, and when he stepped down to sit in the last row, on the huge screen, "The First Chaos in History" had already begun to roll.
"My name is Xiao Qiang, I am a second-generation demolition, I currently live in City A, and I am sticking to the last demolition building......"
In the narration, everyone looked at Tang Nian's face and came into view, his rather familiar appearance suddenly made everyone have a small discussion, but Bai Yijiao in the last row had no intention of stopping at all, only the first two rows were silent.
"Believe it or not, I'll make you a beauty in a second!" Liu Lao Liu (played by Lao Zhao) in the camera squinted and looked at Xiao Qiang (played by Tang Nian).
"Change!"
In the next second, Tang Nian turned into a three-point beauty, and a large group of wolf-like bachelors suddenly rushed to the street, their eyes emitting green light, and they pounced viciously.
"I believe it!"
In Xiao Qiang's loud shouting, Liu Lao Liu fiddled with the sunglasses on his face a few times, Tang Nian quickly turned into a dinosaur covered with long hair, and the bachelors who pounced on him vomited and fainted to the ground one by one.
"I am an immortal, and you are also an immortal! It's just that you broke the rules of heaven and fell in love with a goblin one second before you were in the immortal class......"
"This is Jing Ke!"
"Jing Ke, come, this is Xiao Qiang!"
"Jing Ke meets Xiao Xianren!"
āā¦ā¦ā
After the narration, there are several quick cut shots, which introduce the background of the story clearly, and the short and powerful lens language is messy but calm, which immediately attracts everyone's attention.
"The First Chaos in History", starring: Tang Nian (as Xiao Qiang), Zhang Lan (as Baozi), Zhao Wannian (as Liu Laoliu). Starring: Yang Hong (as Jing Ke), Liu Shan (as Qin Shihuang), Wan Xiaoshan (as Manager Pan) ......"
The subtitles were hidden, but it was still the same scene just now, Xiao Qiang walked to the fortune-telling booth, met Liu Laoliu, and was frightened by Liu Laoliu's approval. The next day, Liu Laoliu came back and led Jing Ke to move in...... Then, the story unfolds quickly.
"The little people in here are all raised by you?" Jing Ke pointed to the TV, looked at the characters in the TV series, and asked Xiao Qiang.
"Where am I short? ā¦ā¦ Oh, indeed, it's too short! Jing Ke took out a bronze short sword from the file.
"How did you get trapped in this, was it Xiao Immortal who cast a spell? What did you do? Why ignore me? I have food here, will you eat it? Jing Ke stared at the radio, muttering, and finally pressed the rice grains at the corner of his mouth on the radio.
ā¦ā¦
As the plot unfolded, the entire screening hall began to burst into joyful laughter, and the people attracted by the beginning quickly immersed themselves in the plot, sometimes laughing because of Jing Ke's actions, but silent because of Jing Ke's pathos.
Even the professional film critics in the first two rows gave up writing and drawing, and began to be attracted by the plot and watched it intently.
"It's a little interesting...... Zhang Xiaohua lightly clicked her fingers, and the many bad impressions of the online drama in her heart slowly dissipated with the broadcast of this online drama adapted from his original novel.
Two hours later, the first three episodes of "The First Chaos in History" finally finished broadcasting, and everyone in the screening room was silent until the end credits scrolled to the screen and turned black.
"What do you think, how about such an original drama?"
Although Bai Yiji was full of confidence in witnessing the performance of the audience during the screening, he needed to know whether these representative audiences could help him.
"Whoa......
I don't know which one took the lead in the applause, and suddenly the entire screening room was filled with stormy applause, and they were hearty and emotionally invested in it for two hours, and they all knew that they had encountered a good original drama.
Thank you for your pertinent comments, and please write down your feelings, which is an important support for us to continue to move forward! Remind everyone that these written cards, we may use them as publicity when "The First Chaos in History" is launched next month, if you have concerns, you don't need to leave your real name, just your screen name, and you can use your current seat number. In addition, someone originally suggested to me that everyone should sign a confidentiality agreement and not disclose all the information about this original drama to the outside world before this work is officially released to the public, but I rejected this suggestion! Because I believe that everyone is sincere in treating a good work, because I implore you to temporarily suppress the joy of sharing with your relatives and friends, and after this work has been officially publicized on the Internet, recommend it to your relatives and friends! Well, that's all, after writing down your feelings, you can leave, and there will be a staff member who will arrange a return ticket for you......"
"Mr. Bai, don't worry, we cherish the appearance of original and good works, as long as it is online, we will definitely do our best to publicize it!"
"Yes, Mr. Bai, I have 300,000 fans, don't worry, I will ...... when the time comes"
āā¦ā¦ā
After welcoming away the No. 100 audience one after another, Zhang Xiaohua walked in front of Bai Yiji.
"Mr. Bai, if I said something unpleasant to you before because of the adaptation of this work, I apologize to you! I'm sure that if this original drama can continue at this level, I think the next "Wulin Gaiden" is coming! ā
"Heck, if the author of the original book is so sure, I am more confident. Zhang Xiaohua, writer Zhang, are you interested in being a screenwriter now to escort your children? Bai Yiji smiled.
"I'm very happy to serve, if I can, I want to go to the crew now and take a good look, what kind of crew can grasp the essence of this work so accurately, and shoot so brilliantly in the case of spoofing? Of course, I would definitely like to be the screenwriter of the original drama "The First Chaos in History", but it will require me to communicate personally before I can make a final decision. After all, a good writer is not necessarily a good screenwriter, and the text and the picture are completely different......"
"This is no problem, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, since you are interested, we might as well talk about it first!"
"Good! I take the liberty to ask, the actor who leads the starring role is called Tang Nian, is it Tang Nian? There has been no trace of this person on the Internet, how did you find him......"
ā¦ā¦
"Bang bang bang!"
"Enter!"
"Chairman Ma, this is the overall situation of the test screening of the original film and television drama "The First Chaos in History" submitted by Mr. Bai of Tencent Pictures, and he applied for the allocation of 28 million ...... for the filming cost."
"I'll take a look first...... Well, the audience is very representative, and the evaluation is sincere, it seems that the original channel is right to promote this work...... Want to make a 'Wulin Gaiden' that can influence the next decade? Be ambitious! adopts the mode of filming and broadcasting, and plans to launch it next month, and launch ten episodes in one go, and the rest will be transferred to the VIP member film library...... 28 million, the daily consumption of each episode is ...... In other words, 28 million is not necessarily enough...... Well, approve 10 million first, let the finance prepare another 50 million, and wait for the heat to be seen after the launch next month, if you can, you will allocate it at once! Tell Bai Yiji, I fully support him, I hope he won't let me down, whether Tencent Pictures can play a well-known role, it all depends on this opening drama"
"Yes!"
The secretary took note of Brother Xiaoma's words, and when he saw that Brother Xiaoma didn't mean to add, he quickly left.
"The National Cultural Strategy, this is an important task...... Ay! Inform the people in the office and ask Bai Yi to come here! Little Pony pressed down the internal line and gave the order.
