The concept of a fantasy blockbuster. At present, it has not yet risen, but at this time in the field of literature, there have been so-called historical overhead categories, such as Huang Yi's "Xun Qin Ji", "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", etc., as for his "Legend of the Great Sword Master", "Interstellar Prodigal" and the like, although they are also relatively good-looking, there are too many descriptions below the waist, and it is difficult to get into the top.

There are many similar to this, but the soil of original literature has not yet been cultivated and matured, the way of online payment is not satisfactory, coupled with the influence of unfavorable factors such as piracy, most of the original creators have only a way out to show their own existence on the Internet, earn some fame, or turn to the traditional publishing market.

After all, during this period, the domestic simplified publishing market still had an exclusive attitude towards these original literatures, but the booksellers in the piracy market were more able to keep pace with the times, and basically the better works could be bought on the stalls, of course, this income had nothing to do with the author.

Fan Wuxian obviously hopes to shoot a series of fantasy or historical masterpieces, causing a new round of ratings in China.

For the time being, he circled Huang Yi's "Searching for Qin". The reason why I chose this blockbuster is mainly because I consider that the gods and monsters in it are negligible, and it is just a display of personal heroism after crossing over, which should be able to adapt to the tastes of most people.

As for another reason, he is really a little unappetizing for the later Hong Kong version of "Looking for Qin", and there are too many actual deletions in the Hong Kong version of "Looking for Qin", which always makes people feel that the whole drama seems to be castrated, lacking a sense of atmosphere and historical solemnity.

Not to mention anything else, just the treatment of Wu Yanfang's role in the play makes people look depressed, the first beauty and the first rich woman in Zhao Kingdom, Qing Shui is out of hibiscus, and the aura is compelling, they all say that women are the bridge to success for men, Wu Tingfang played this role, allowing Xiang Shaolong to quickly establish his position and attack opponents in the Wu family, and also made the Wu family the biggest backing for Xiang Shaolong, but even if there is no Wu Tingfang, Xiang Shaolong will marry another Wu Tingfang, this is a must.

In that era, Xiang Shaolong had to have the support of a consortium and could rely on. The Wu family can be said to be Xiang Shaolong's safe haven. Although Xiang Shaolong did have a strong utilitarian attitude when he took Wu Tingfang from Lian Jin's side, the married life of the couple was not unhappy.

Although Wu Tingfang was a little rude and willful when she was her daughter's family, she was blindly infatuated with Prince Charming Lian Jin, but when she was abducted by Xiang Shaolong. gradually grew into a gentle and considerate lady, a good wife and mother, and wholeheartedly for the sake of her husband.

Compared with the poor woman in the Hong Kong version of "Xun Qin", who ran away from home and suffered a lot throughout the whole story, and did not play a little role in her own function except for adding chaos, Fan Wuxian felt that she still preferred this little wife who had not experienced any storms, had been living a stable and happy life, and consistently provided a solid and reliable rear for her husband.

As for the interpretation of other female characters and the main characters in the play, the Hong Kong version of "Xun Qin" is also useless, it can really be said that it completely spoils an excellent entertainment, all in all, Fan Wuxian thinks that Hong Kong dramas are still more competent to act in urban soap operas, but when it comes to filming this kind of historical overhead scene that shows a huge scene, there is no such background and strength.

Just like in many costume dramas, Hong Kong dramas lack that kind of grand scenes and momentum, and the actors also seem to have weak skills when they interpret the kind of emperors and generals, and they don't have the slightest sense of kings at all, and the face is also formatted, you can know the good guys and bad guys at a glance, as for the war scenes, it is even more pitiful, and more than a dozen people can complete a big war with seven or eight guns. It's really unappetizing.

It is for this reason that many productions have later become cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan, although they have good idol actors, they lack the vision of the overall situation and the strength to realize the scenes in the play, after all, this requires high-cost investment and rich market returns to support, but in a small place in Hong Kong, it is obviously difficult to achieve this wish.

"If you want to shoot, make a big production!" Fan Wuxian once said to Xia Donghai, "In general, Chinese still advocate individual heroism, so there is that kind of saying, saying that a Chinese is a dragon, a group of Chinese is a nest of worms, that is the truth, so a little blood, a little passion, a little bigger, there will be absolutely no mistake." ”

"In this case, the investment will not increase a little-" Xia Donghai said scratching his head.

Although the New Silk Road Entertainment Company is currently a very powerful and influential large company in the industry, it has not yet come up with any too powerful works in the production of TV dramas, and there are more and more artists under the company, and there are many powerful, passionate and creative artists.

"The investment can be a little more, as long as the film comes out, you will earn it back by broadcasting a few more stations, and this kind of historical-themed film is also very popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas. Don't worry, don't sell out. Fan Wuxian thought very clearly.

At this time, the network is not strong enough to affect the TV market, and if you want to make a name for yourself and establish a reputation as a leading boss in the circle, there is no better opportunity than now, especially since many excellent entertainment is coming out one after another, and the possibility of obtaining sufficient film and television themes has become greater.

At present, the cooperation between Fan's Investment Group and CCTV is still in the honeymoon period, and the current CCTV is not strong enough to cover the sky with one hand, coupled with the influence of Fan Wuxian itself, it is still possible to continue to influence CCTV for about ten years, as for the future, it is difficult to say, so Fan Wuxian also feels that it is necessary to take this opportunity to plan well and build his various undertakings into first-class industry leaders.

In order to welcome the 50th anniversary of the National Day, the New Silk Road Entertainment Company is filming a war-themed blockbuster, which is about to be completed at this time, but it can be used as a gift, and it can be regarded as a tendentious attitude of Fan's Investment Group towards the high-level, at least he will not use any soap opera to deal with them, and the guiding role of the main channel of public opinion propaganda should still be reflected.

"So, what should be the theme of our selection of materials for TV dramas?" Xia Donghai asked Fan Wuji.

"It's very simple, it's to create a hero of the world!" Fan replied.

It is precisely because of the long history of peace that the Chinese need heroes to motivate themselves. Even if it is just to enhance the sense of substitution and pass the addiction of YY, it is also beneficial and harmless, for people who feel more and more helpless in the real world, let them get some comfort in TV and movies, which is indeed beneficial to the country and the people.

Naturally, you can't go wrong with this theme in the selection of materials.

Even Fan Wuxian thought of filming a series of anti-Japanese war-themed film and television works and spy war works, if he recalled it with tugging, there were still a few films that could be filmed, but it took some brains to choose actors, and it seems that relying on these artists in his own company will not be able to support it.

Fan Wuzhi took a week off. got out the rough outline of the scripts of "Bright Sword" and "Latent", and then threw it to Xia Donghai and asked him to find someone to improve it, and then turned out the information of "Fifty-one Military Station" and "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp", looked at it carefully, and then considered negotiating with the author to make a remake of the book.

After Xia Donghai read Fan Wuxie's book, he said that although the script is very good and the idea is novel, he is worried that it will be difficult to obtain a license after such a TV series is filmed, after all, some things are in conflict with public opinion and propaganda, and he is afraid that the censorship will not pass.

"You don't need to worry about this-" Fan Wuxian said who am I? Can this be done?

Thinking of some later things, for example, fantasy-themed TV series have never been broadcast in CCTV, but there are also related households that can open up joints to broadcast shoddy fantasy-themed TV series, and they are broadcast over and over again, which is enough to make people understand the cattiness.

It's not that these things can't be done, but it depends on how hard your relationship is, as long as the top shows support, the following operations actually really don't matter, needless to say, as long as Fan Wuxian runs over to talk to the Standing Committee member in charge of propaganda work about how good his film is, then he casually mentions it, and CCTV will run over and ask for the broadcast rights of his TV series.

"To be honest, in fact, I really want to bring you over to make a TV series, it's definitely enough gimmick, and I can even save a lot of publicity costs." Xia Donghai said to Fan Wuxian with some emotion.

Fan Wuxian refused to do this, "That's absolutely impossible, I can't stand the constraints the most, occasionally singing is in a good mood, if it's boring activities like making movies and TV, it's unbearable, don't think about this." You still have to discover more new talents, especially male actors, and the discovery and training of this aspect are very important. ”

At present, the New Silk Road Entertainment Company has a lot of artists, but in general, there are more outstanding female artists, and there are very few male artists who can match and suppress the play, which is a big problem. The main reason is that the recent development direction is mainly singing, and there are not many development opportunities in the film and television industry.

Fan Wuxian saw this shortcoming, so he asked Xia Donghai to take over the script, even if it is an ordinary play, as long as it has commercial value, even if it is flat in and out without much income, you can also consider filming next, which can be regarded as exercising the artist's interpretation level.

In this way, there are still a lot of books that can be filmed, Xia Donghai also said to Fan Wuxian that he was reluctant to take those ordinary books before, mainly because he was worried that he would ruin his reputation, but now it seems that actors who have not practiced will obviously grow very slowly, which is a mistake before.

The two discussed it and felt that it was necessary to establish a more effective cooperation mechanism with domestic first-line actors, and it also saved them from having a good script, but they couldn't find a suitable actor to complete the play.

In fact, in the script provided by Fan Wuxian to Xia Donghai, it is basically a man's play, and most of the female characters are vases, although they also need to have their own characteristics, but the requirements for acting skills are not very high, the only exception is "Latent", whether this play can be successful, a large part of it depends on whether the heroine's performance fee is in place and whether the performance is brilliant, which made Fan Wuxian think about it for a while, and finally set the candidate on Fengping.

However, his requirements for Fengping are also very strict, he doesn't say anything else, first let her go to the countryside of Hebei to stay for a month, and do nothing else, just take her to the most barren village to experience the life and customs of others.

Fan Wuxian knows very well that if there is anyone in the New Silk Road Entertainment Company who can play this heroine, then it must be Fengping, but Fengping does not have much rural experience, so she needs to have more experience, if she can stimulate her fierce spirit, then playing this role can definitely be successful.

All in all, although the types of scripts provided by Fan Wuxian are all heroic protagonists, there are still some differences, one is a large-scale war theme, and the other is a spy war theme of intrigue without blood, the two scripts can be said to complement each other, fully taking into account the preferences of different groups of people, but overall, the popularity of everyone and this kind of drama can still be predicted, after all, we have been nurtured when we were young, and we have a natural love for war-themed film and television dramas.

But Xia Donghai is not without a little opinion on Fan Wuxi's decision, he believes that too many war-themed TV series will cause aesthetic fatigue and directly lead to the consequences of low ratings, and there has been no such precedent before.

However, Fan Wuxi also has his own opinions on this, "Don't you know that there is a habit in this world called following the trend? Whether the author or the reader, there is this habitual reading mode, once there is an interest in a certain theme or film and television drama works, then within a period of time, there will definitely be a strong interest in similar works, at this time, if there are works that can be handled, whether it is in publicity and promotion, or in the difficulty of increasing the height of ratings, it is of great benefit to us. ”

Xia Donghai thought about it carefully, it seems that this is also the case, it seems that he has studied these problems a little less recently, so he will ignore this problem.

Could it be that in this era, it is really time to create heroes again? There are no pop-ups
