Chapter 349: Ten Times
I'll just say it!
Ge Wen finally confirmed his guess, Du Qifeng and Chen Musheng said that what they said was not the same thing at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Mythological drama?" Du Qifeng looked at Chen Musheng strangely, and Chen Musheng handed him the manuscript in his hand again.
Du Qifeng took the manuscript and skimmed it roughly, and found that this manuscript was actually a story about "Yang Jiajiang".
It's just that what the hell are these teachings, expounding teachings, human teachings, and Buddhism!
Du Qifeng looked up at Gowen with an indifferent expression in surprise, and then lowered his head to read again.
On the other hand, Chen Musheng fell into hesitation.
Although there is a very strong impulse in my heart to make the mythical version of the Yang family into a TV series, the historical version of the Yang family will that I heard Huang Zhan read before is also very attractive.
For all the crew members, the filming of "Yang Jiajiang" is a political task, and no matter how bad the script is, they have to shoot it hard. Now that there is a new script for Gowen, even if Du Qifeng doesn't talk to himself, I'm afraid that some stars and behind-the-scenes staff will apply to the above to change the script and reshoot.
So he had the same idea as Du Qifeng, that is, to push the content that had been filmed before to the beginning.
But what kind of version does this "Yang Jiajiang" want to remake into?
I can do what I want for fish, and I can do what I want for bear's paws.
Hey, it's no wonder that Govin wrote two completely different stories, and what is even more annoying is that these two stories are so engaging!
Chen Musheng thought with some annoyance.
"You wrote another story about "Yang Jiajiang"?" Huang Zhan looked at the manuscript paper in Gewen's hand, and then at the manuscript paper in Du Qifeng's hand, and asked in disbelief.
"Just scribbling." Govyn nodded.
"Just write a story that makes Xiao Du and Ah Sheng compete to shoot, is there any reason? Don't you want to be so powerful! Huang Zhan exclaimed exaggeratedly. He likes to read in his life, but there are very few writers he admires, Jin Yong is one, Ni Kuang is barely half, but at this time he really admires Gewen.
"Ge Sheng, can you tell me about the content of the story that Director Du is watching?" Zhao Yazhi, who was standing at the front of the crowd, suddenly interjected.
She was also attracted by the mythical version of the Yang family's story written by Gowen, so when Chen Musheng took away the manuscript paper, she would lose her temper for a while.
Seeing that Huang Zhan and Ge Wen were talking about it at this moment, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but expose the curiosity in her heart. Halfway through the story, there's nothing left, and it's the most uncomfortable.
Looking at Zhao Yazhi's beautiful and moving face, and then at the expectant eyes of the people around him, Gewen nodded.
Suddenly, someone moved the chairs and horses diligently, and everyone sat or stood quietly listening to Govyn's talk about the ancients.
It's a real talk of antiquity.
From the beginning of the world, until the dismal end of the Yang family, the plot is either shocking or admirable, and when Govin spent a long time describing the mythical version of the story of the Yang family, the only thought left in the hearts of everyone present was to intercept the blood of the disciples, and the feeling of being unkind to the saints and treating the people as dogs.
……
At noon that day, Du Qifeng warmly entertained Govern and Huang Zhan.
In addition to Chen Musheng, there were also Chow Yun-fat and Zhao Yazhi, the two TVB number one Xiaosheng Huadan, as well as several behind-the-scenes staff.
Originally, Du Qifeng invited Ge Wen and Huang Zhan to dinner, but it was Ge Wen who was stained with Huang Zhan's light.
He and Du Qifeng met in Pingshui, if it weren't for Uncle Zhan, how could Du Qifeng invite him to dinner. But now it's a different story.
On the set, when Govern's talk about the ancient was over, Du Qifeng also finished watching the mythical version of Yang Jiajiang in his hand, and then he fell into a contradiction like Chen Musheng.
I thought that the historical version of the Yang family general was already the best story about the Yang family general, but who knew that a mythical version of the story would emerge immediately!
It's hard to choose!
Du Qifeng's heart is like a rat in a bellows, skewering around, unable to be quiet.
And the same is true of those present who heard the story from Gowen's mouth.
People who like to read novels clearly see the shadow of classical Chinese literature "Romance of the Gods", "Journey to the West", and "The Legend of Shushan Swordsmen" from Govine's stories, which makes them very excited; Those who have not read these novels are even more conquered by Govwin's unbridled imagination.
If the historical version of the Yang family written by Govin moved them with the great sentiment of serving the country with loyalty, then the mythical version of the Yang family will conquer them with gorgeous and colorful fantasies.
If the crew wants to overturn the original script and start over, which story should they choose?
As soon as this thought came to mind, it sparked a huge controversy.
Anyone who has some status in the crew and can speak loudly promotes their ideas, whether it is a star in front of the stage or a staff behind the scenes.
Some people support the historical version, and some people support the mythical version.
However, there is one thing that everyone agrees, that is, communicate with the above as soon as possible and change the script.
Finally, when everyone was quiet, Du Qifeng directly announced that the crew would rest for two days, and everything would be said after he communicated with the above.
Then, it was Du Qifeng who warmly invited Govin to dinner.
As for Chow Yun-fat, Zhao Yazhi and several behind-the-scenes staff, on the one hand, they are accompanied, and on the other hand, they also want everyone in the crew to unify their thoughts and unite with the outside world, only in this way can it be possible to ensure that the station agrees to them to change the script.
To be honest, Govin was a little proud of what happened this morning. Especially when I saw Zhao Yazhi, Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, Zeng Huaqian and other female stars looking at themselves with a shocked and adoring look.
So at lunch at noon that day, he was a little overwhelmed when he was in a happy mood. I have to say that the food in this store where Du Qifeng treats guests is really delicious.
When Ge Wen leisurely held the tea cup with a light aroma floating from the cup, quietly watching the fierce arguments of Du Qifeng, Huang Zhan, Chen Musheng and others, Zhao Yazhi, who had been quietly paying attention to Ge Wen's movements, finally spoke with her chin in her hands: "Since these two stories were written by Ge Sheng, why don't you ask him and see the original author's opinion." ”
So everyone present quieted down, and they all felt that Zhao Yazhi's opinion was good.
"This ...... Actually, I think these two stories are okay, if you make a historical version, I'm afraid Director Du will have to refine the list of actors who will perform; If you make a mythological version, the set and special effects are the biggest problem......" Govin thought for a moment and shared his opinion with the people at the table.
It was only after arriving at the hotel that Govin suddenly realized that the two stories he scribbled on should be very new to people of this era. This is just like the "Soldier Assault" and "Bright Sword" he once wrote, when everyone is tired of Gao Dashang, and suddenly there is a novel like Xiao Zhen, which will naturally make everyone crazy.
"That's true." Du Qifeng nodded.
"Yang Jiajiang", as TVB's Taiwanese celebration drama, has mobilized almost all the actors in the station who can be known by the audience, and the famous ones will be the leading actors, and the less famous ones will play tricks.
From the very beginning, the publicity strategy set by the station was to emphasize that this drama should let all the well-known actors of TVB show their faces, that is, to make the audience reluctant to leave the screen, and let the audience know the power of TVB.
It's just that the script is too bad, and an originally good bluff makes the crew not optimistic, and they have to get by.
If you choose the historical version of Yang Jiajiang, it will take too many stars to change from the starring role to the showman, such as Chow Yun-fat who plays Lu Dongbin here, and Zhao Yazhi who plays Guanyin Master here.
And if you choose the mythical version, although the characters can be guaranteed, but the set and special effects have become a big problem, although the set and special effects of the crew are the result of carelessness, but even if everyone tries their best, I am afraid that they will not be able to achieve the story rendering, do you really want to go to Hollywood to ask for special effects? Don't be kidding, the big boss is the most picky person in Shaw Brothers, otherwise everyone wouldn't often go outside to pick up dramas, it is not difficult to support the family with Shaw Brothers' salary alone, but it is impossible to spend money lavishly.
What Du Qifeng thought of, naturally everyone else here could also think of.
Among all the people present, except for Ge Wen and Huang Zhan, Du Qifeng and Chen Musheng are the first and second leaders of the crew, Chow Yun-fat and Zhao Yazhi are the first brother and sister of the Shaw Brothers, plus the heads of several departments such as lighting, scenery, and photography, it can be said that the most vocal people in a crew are here. Everyone is an insider, and they are all human spirits, and you can't think of these things there.
It seems that multiple-choice questions have become mandatory.
It's just that if you can't perfectly reproduce the scenes and special effects in the story, this mythological drama will obviously lose most of its charm!
For a while, everyone at the table was embarrassed.
Seeing that the person in charge of lighting and photography was looking at him, the face of the person in charge of the set of the crew was a little embarrassed, he coughed and wanted to say something, but hesitated, but leaned back in his chair a little dejected and said nothing.
Although Govyn's mythological story is only roughly written, the atmosphere and mystery revealed between the lines are really not what the ability of the set designers and special effects personnel of the crew can do!
Huang Zhan saw that the atmosphere on the table suddenly became silent, and couldn't help but pause the chopsticks in his hand: "What are you doing with a sad face, and now you haven't even a mile of eight characters." I think you should approve the script first and then consider this! ”
"That's right, the top priority is that the above agrees to change the script." The person in charge of the set hurriedly chimed in.
"Actually, I have a suggestion that may solve the problem of sets and special effects, but I don't know if you Shaw Brothers have such courage......" Govin said slowly to the crowd.
"How to fix it?" Chen Musheng asked eagerly.
"Everyone knows my identity, I am a member of the cultural exchange group from the mainland to Hong Kong......" said this, Govin noticed that the lighting director of the crew pouted his lips disapprerovingly, and his heart was a little free.
Don't look at the fact that he speaks fluent Cantonese and writes good articles, but on the set in the morning, Huang Zhan introduced his identity to everyone, and when the lighting engineer and several stars and staff members knew their mainlanders, Gewen clearly felt the arrogance of these people. This feeling is the same as when he wandered alone on the streets of Hong Kong a few days ago, and some Hong Kong people scolded the mainlanders.
Not bothering to pay attention to such shallow people, Govin continued: "I remember that there was a director in our troupe who seemed to be China International Television Corporation. You may not know that China International Television Corporation is now filming "Journey to the West", one of China's four famous novels, which is also a mythological drama, and it seems that it has not yet been filmed. I think you can have a good chat with this director, it would be better if you could get in touch with the crew of "Journey to the West" in the mainland through this director, I think you can see how people shoot mythological dramas. ”
Govin said slowly, and really thought so in his heart.
Speaking of which, as a center of cultural exchange between the East and the West, Hong Kong is rich in material life and more open-minded than the mainland, which can be seen from Hong Kong's film and television circle. At this time, Hong Kong movies already had the signs of Oriental Hollywood, and many small methods of filming were like coercion, and even Hollywood was learning. Compared with this, the mainland naturally looks backward and outdated.
However, this does not mean that the film and television industry in the mainland is useless.
Since the reform and opening up, film and television people in the mainland have slowly exerted their own subjective initiative, and have slowly cultivated a large number of film and television people with quick thinking, active minds and strong hands-on ability.
The most obvious example is "Journey to the West" in 1986.
This is the first time that China has put the whole "Journey to the West" on the screen, under limited artistic and technical conditions, the crew has created a mythical world full of fantasy with its own intelligence, which not only caused a sensation in the country back then, but also made the new generation of audiences linger without feeling that the drama is outdated.
If Du Qifeng's crew can get the set and special effects technology of the crew of "Journey to the West", it should be easy to shoot "Yang Jiajiang"!
And after all, Hong Kong still has its own special things, let's exchange and exchange ideas, what a good thing!
"Poof...... The crew in the mainland? Are you saying we have to learn from them? Haha......"
"Haha...... You let us see how they shoot ......"
As soon as Govin finished speaking, the person in charge of the lighting and set laughed, and even the other people had surprised and disapproving expressions on their faces.
Chen Musheng asked in surprise: "Gowen, are you serious?" ”
Gewen didn't speak, quietly looked at the lights and scenery that were still laughing, and waited until they were stared at by themselves and quieted down, before he said seriously: "Maybe you think that the mainland is relatively backward and looks down on the mainland's film and television people, but I want to tell you - if this mythological drama is filmed by the crew of "Journey to the West", the effect of the same equipment will definitely be ten times stronger than yours!" I'm sure of that! ”
