Chapter 367 Advertising is very important

Mo Fei's hand was opened by Lin Qingxia, but he didn't feel embarrassed, there was not much provocative in his actions, but more shocked by the reputation of Lin Qingxia in his previous life.

pretended to rub the back of his hand and said, "Okay, no kidding, let's talk about your new play now, this time it's an adapted ancient dragon, and the content of the story in it has made a lot of changes, I'm going to release it in the summer, I'll talk to you about it today, and then you take the script back and think about it, about the end of May to the beginning of June." ”

Ben was still warning himself in his heart not to have a little thought about Mo Fei, but now that he heard Mo Fei say that it was just a joke, Lin Qingxia was relieved at the same time, but at the same time, a little loss added to her heart, am I not attractive to him at all?

But he couldn't show it on his face, so he turned his attention to the new film that Mo Fei said, and asked: "It's Gu Long, he has a large readership in Hong Kong, Taiwan and even Southeast Asia, and adapting his works can indeed get some guarantees at the box office, I don't know which one to change?" ”

"Well, Gu Long's fame is really easy to use, you don't have to be much worse than Jin Daxia, my adaptation this time is "The Peerless Double Pride", you are the heroine in the film."

Mo Fei replied simply, and before she could continue the story, Lin Qingxia was a little incomprehensible, and asked: "Is it Tie Xinlan, I know that my own image is very different from Tie Xinlan in the original book, what do you want to change Tie Xinlan to?" ”

"Who said it was Tie Xinlan, it's not good for you to wait for me to say it well." Could it be that Lin Qingxia was very distempered when she interrupted herself, who let him be suspected of provoking others just now, waved his hand to calm Lin Qingxia, and said: "There are not many adaptations of Tie Xinlan in this film, and this role has been decided to be played by Qiu Shuzhen, who has just joined the company." Your character is something else, one you would never think of. ”

Lin Qingxia is completely confused now, Tie Xinlan is the female character with the biggest role in "The Peerless Double Pride", is there any role that has more roles than Tie Xinlan. Thinking that there are more adaptations of the original work, I thought about it. asked: "Who is that, will it be Zhang Jing, or Murong Jiu, but the "Peerless Double Pride" of the Wei clan has already combined the two of them to make the second female lead, and you should not use it anymore." But who else, could it be one of Su Ying, Tie Pinggu and Hai Hongzhu. Is that adaptation really big enough? ”

Seeing that he said a name, Mo Fei shook his head with a smile, and said all the characters he could think of, but he still didn't guess it. Lin Qingxia thought about what Mo Fei said that the change was very big, and she simply asked boldly: "Could it be the Lord of the Shifting Flower Palace, if not, I can't find it." Your change is a nerve-wracking one. ”

Lin Qingxia couldn't guess, she was very satisfied with Mo Fei's bad taste, but she still didn't say which heroine it was, and said with a smile: "It seems that you know a lot about "The Peerless Twins", why are you also a fan of Gu Long's books?" ”

"When I was in school, many of my classmates were reading Gu Long's books, and I also read some of them, including this one." Lin Qingxia has already been troubled by the question of who the protagonist is. How can you still have the heart to talk to him about Gu Long, after a simple answer, he hurriedly asked: "Don't talk about this yet, you quickly say which heroine is it, it can't be that you added a character yourself, right?" ”

Lin Da Meiren was about to go out of her body, so she couldn't tease her anymore, she raised her hand and pressed it weakly, signaling Lin Qingxia to calm down, and said: "Since you have watched "The Peerless Twins", have you ever thought that if one of the two male protagonists becomes a woman. How will the story unfold, and will it be more interesting? ”

Mo Fei's words really shocked Lin Qingxia, her already round eyes widened, and she said, "You, you really dare to think about it." Turning the original pair of twin brothers into a man and a woman, this can really make up a lot of stories, do you want me to play the flower perfectly? ”

Of course, it is to play Hua Wuji, Xiao Yuer is no more suitable for being a girl than Hua Wuji, as long as you have watched "The Peerless Twins", you will have a consistent understanding. Even if you haven't seen it, you can tell from the name that "Hua Wuji" is indeed more suitable for girls than "Little Fish".

"That's right, I want you to play the flower perfectly." Mo Fei continued to light a cigarette and took two puffs, and began to talk about the plot: "In the last years of the Tang Dynasty, the society was in turmoil, various forces crisscrossed the country, and the rivers and lakes began to be chaotic. According to the agreement of the previous martial arts predecessors, the people of the rivers and lakes elected the master of the Shifting Flower Palace as the martial arts righteous warrior of this session at the annual meeting of rewarding the good and punishing the evil, and led the order to kill the ten famous evildoers.

And the husband Yan Nantian and son Xiao Yu'er of the Shifting Flower Palace Lord suddenly appeared, intending to stop this action, which also made the husband and wife turn against each other. In the end, the master of the Shifting Flower Palace was placed in Yan Nantian's hands, and made an oath that he would send a successor to kill the ten wicked people after eighteen years.

Yan Nantian was also seriously injured in this husband and wife battle, and in order to thank him for saving his life, the ten wicked people took on the responsibility of Fuyang Xiaoyu'er growing up, and cultivated Xiaoyu'er to become the most evil person in the world. On the other hand, the master of the Shifting Flower Palace chose Hua Wujian as his successor, personally teaching a skill, and hated the men in the world because of Yan Nantian's betrayal, so that Hua Wujian appeared in male clothes.

The eighteenth year has finally arrived, and the conference to reward the good and punish the evil is about to be held, and the ten wicked people have ordered Xiao Yu'er to lurk into the conference to reward the good and punish the evil to take the position of the leader of the alliance, and get the order to reward the good and punish the evil. After Xiao Yu'er came out of the mountain, he met Hua Wuji, who came to kill his ten masters, and the two soon fell in love with each other.

As the date of the competition for the leader of the alliance approached, many martial arts people began to stay up until the assassination, and news of the murder of decent righteous people continued to come, and Xiao Yu'er, who had already reached the top four, was also exposed by Jiang Beihe and Jiang Yulang's father and son, and was besieged and hunted down by all decent people......"

The story told by Mo Fei has a lot of differences from the "Peerless Twins" in the original history of 92, in addition to correcting some plot loopholes, the ending has also been modified a lot. For example, if the originally nonsensical Lang Qing Concubine Yi Sword was deleted, then the raging adulterer and adulteress sword of Raush Zi would not appear; The ending part was changed to the last moment when Hua Wufeng desperately protected Xiao Yu'er, and Xiao Yu'er was completely aroused. One trick turned out to be the old villain, Jiang Beihe and so on.

In short, in this era when Hong Kong movies have begun to go crazy, such an adaptation is a bit close to destroying the three views, but spreading positive energy. Starring the popular student Andy Lau and the big beauty Lin Qingxia, the new generation of beauties Qiu Shuzhen and Zhou Huimin joined forces to help, and even the role of the master of the Shifting Flower Palace also used the young Fu Yiwei to make a cameo. I believe it will definitely surprise the audience's eyes. The artistic component can be dispensed without, but the box office will definitely be satisfying.

Well, Lin Qingxia was completely defeated, "The Peerless Twins" is the proud work of Master Gu Long, but now he wants to be made like this, and the copyright fee for the adaptation is really not unjust at all. Then I thought of the "alternative" character he just mentioned. I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, God knows what kind of role this guy will make for himself, I can only pray for God's blessing, and then the nervous energy of the screenwriter will be a little more normal.

"I'll admit that your adaptation is really innovative, and the audience will probably like this completely different plot as well. What about the other one. What kind of film is it, it won't be this earth-shaking adaptation, right? Lin Qingxia really didn't know how to describe Mo Fei's "stroke of genius", so she had to use such a vague word as earth-shaking to describe it.

In fact, the most important purpose of filming this "Peerless Double Pride" is to push Andy Lau through cooperation with Lin Qingxia, and the expectations at the box office are not very high, as long as it can reach the average level of local films released in Phoenix Culture today, it is good that the real expectations for the box office are the next one.

But the film is still only in the early stages of creation. The script only roughly writes the story, and if you really want to start filming, you have to choose a business that is worth cooperating.

Tell Lin Qingxia the story, and it can only be a rough idea: "The name of this film is "Fashion Witch", and the story will be about Anna, a girl who has just graduated from school and aspires to be an excellent writer, who enters a fashion magazine as an assistant to the editor-in-chief when looking for a job to no avail. However, before she had time to rejoice in finding a decent job, she soon realized that her job was a nightmare, because the editor-in-chief, Millie, was so bitter to everyone that the whole magazine was enveloped in a tense atmosphere throughout the day.

This fashionable female devil is handed over to the assistant to take care of both official and private affairs, which makes Anna miserable. Such as when there is a typhoon. asked Anna to find a ferry to take her back from Macau to Hong Kong, the reason was simply that her twin children were going to perform at school the next morning; When Anna accidentally breaks her rules, she asks Anna to find the latest manuscript of Dragon Ball, only because her twins are anxious to know the next story. After a while, the female demon leader Anna is more capable than her first assistant, Helen. It was decided that Anna would go to Paris instead of Helen, because Helen's ideal was to go to Paris. And she also wants Anna to tell Helen the bad news herself. Anna did it one by one, but hurt Helen, but Anna thought that she had no choice but to do it.

Gradually, Anna's attitude changed from getting by at the beginning, not changing herself for the sake of work, to later taking the initiative to integrate into her work circle and completing her work perfectly. But in the end, through a conversation with the female devil, she found that she got a job, but gave up her family and friends, and wanted to suppress others for the progress of her work, it turned out that all this was not what she wanted to pursue, and after thinking about it, Anna resolutely left the magazine and found her lost happiness.

This is no less than "Beauty and the Beast", which is enough to push your fame to the next level and gain a foothold in the top position of Chinese actresses. The script of this film has not yet been completed, I can only give you a simple story later, you can slowly find the feeling first, and you can also read more information about related industries, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort when shooting. ”

This story does sound just a rough idea, just a little stronger than the outline, but it can already be seen that such a film has never been done before, and it is also a test of acting skills, as long as it can be done well, it is not a problem to go to the next level of strength and fame.

Lin Qingxia is obviously more interested in this story than the previous one, if he can help, he will definitely do his best, and asked: "What is the reason why the script is not completed, is the idea immature?" Or is there not enough time, is there anything I can do to help? ”

I can feel that Lin Damei attaches great importance to this film, but this kind of problem can't be solved by ordinary people, and only the initiator of the script or someone with enough power to make the decision can do it.

Shaking his head, he said: "This matter can only be done by myself, and it is almost difficult for others to help." There's nothing wrong with the story itself. It's easy to get out, the most important thing is that you need a well-known clothing brand to be a sponsor, and then I can complete the script according to the various concepts of the brand and the needs of the merchants, different businesses have different demands in these aspects, and it is not good for the negotiation to rush to finish the script. ”

Lin Qingxia kind of understood, this is a good thing to say. To put it bluntly, I want to find a full sponsor and make this film a promotional film for a clothing brand, this guy is really bad, he actually came up with such a trick, does he still have the money to invest in movies, and he is really a businessman.

But then I thought about it again. It seems that my favorite is still a movie, no matter how you say it, you shouldn't take the movie casually, I guess it's mostly to reflect the difference between him and others, I was so stiff with the Academy Awards before, isn't it time to show that I am different and my strength is completely better than everyone else.

Of course, it can't be ruled out that this is just to disgust them against Hu Xenon of Sing Tao Newspaper and Fang Yihua of Wireless. You must know that he has been hacked twice by the Academy Awards, and the two behind the scenes are those two, this topic will also bring a lot of hype to this movie, at least it can push up the box office and influence a lot.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingxia couldn't help but start worrying about Mo Fei, and said: "Are you sure you can succeed in doing this, in recent years, many movies have begun to add advertising, and there are a lot of movies in Phoenix Culture, but if you want to make such a pure commercial-like film, will the audience not buy it at that time?" ”

I didn't expect Lin Qingxia to think so much. But he really had a sense of it. Let him use the film to satirize, those two old women are far from qualified, and it is completely possible to use this incident to stir up this movie, and the effect must be very good, his original words caused an uproar.

It's like the original history of "The Devil Wears Prada". If it weren't for the fame and influence of Vogue's editor-in-chief, Loren Westberg's book would have been a big hit, and a third of the original sales would have been enough for her to snicker.

It was precisely because of that incident that Mo Fei temporarily decided to replace the film that was originally scheduled to be released at the beginning of the eighties and seventeens with this one. As long as this film can be done well and the tone of the film can be achieved, not only the box office income, but also the main actors, directors and others of the film, will benefit greatly. At the same time, it will not affect the American version of "The Devil Wears Prada", and even make the film more famous and more popular at that time.

In short, everything is in Mo Fei's grasp and plan, but it was Lin Qingxia's concern that moved him, how many people around him and even in the whole Phoenix series company came for their own interests, once something went wrong, they would disperse in a hurry, he still knew very well that there were not many people who could really care so much.

In addition to being moved, he was also willing to say something more to Lin Damei: "You don't understand this, there are many ways to play movies, and this kind of movie that looks like an advertisement is one of them, and it is even more fun than many conventional films." This film is about businesses that are willing to sponsor advertising, and if there is no advertising component, this film will immediately drop to one or even two levels. The twists and turns here are too complicated, and you won't understand them very well now.

Well, if you have the time, you can follow up on the film all the way, and after participating in it once, you can figure out how important advertising is to the film. As long as you can figure out the key to this, when there are such films in the future, I can let you try to be a producer and get out of the box of actors, even if you care about my return today. ”

"Don't be sentimental, who cares about you, I'm just paying more attention to the company I work for......" In the entire Phoenix series of companies, those who dare to speak to Mo Fei like this, but they are not close to people, I am afraid that there is only Lin Damei.
