Chapter 111: Adaptation

"What are you sighing about?" He Mu cocked Erlang's legs.

Xiao Fang put down the newspaper in his hand, "I was thinking about when you could be on this list, then my face will also shine." ”

"I'll see." He Mu asked for it.

The first place does not need to be seen to know that Yao Ming, the hard work paid by sports athletes is much higher than that of actors and writers, Yao Ming's performance in the NBA is also very good, and there is a huge market of 1.3 billion people behind him, and its commercial value is not comparable to ordinary people, with an annual income of 260 million can even make some companies look up. Although Liu Xiang, who ranked second, did not earn as much as Yao Ming, he also made people realize the strong ability of sports stars to attract money.

He Mu glanced at it roughly, there are a total of 100 celebrities on the celebrity list, and the people on the list are basically actors, singers, hosts, writers, athletes, directors and other public figures, with income and exposure as the main indicators. There are no actors on the list as young as He Mu, and there is only one young actor who can be regarded as a young actor who has not long become famous, although he has been lying on the hospital bed for half a year in 06, he is still ranked 50, with an annual income of 5.7 million, and He Mu's income last year may be less than one-tenth of his.

There are still a large number of young people's names on the list, but they are all singers, and all of them are from super girls. Among them, Li Yuchun is even more astonishingly ranked eighth, under the Bingbing, stepping on Xu Jinglei, its limelight can be said to be unique for a while, and her contemporaneous Zhang Liangying, He Jie, and Zhou Bising are also among the best, and Zhang Hanyun in the first session before them is also among the top 100.

Zhang Hanyun? It seems that he is less than twenty years old now, and He Mu suddenly thinks of the joy in "Chang'an Chaos". The age is in line with each other, and the appearance is also sweet, but the acting skills need to be verified. If Xiao Fang is worried about the heroine, He Mu can mention it.

Skipping Zhang Hanyun, He Mu focused on the lowest-income one among the people on the list, last year's supergirl Tan Weiwei, 1.2 million, according to this standard, He Mu's income as of March this year is already higher than her. And there are several TV series and a movie released, and the exposure should not be low.

After returning the newspaper to Xiao Fang, He Mu said confidently. "It's not difficult to get on this list next year, and I'm thinking about whether I can make it to the top 50."

The entertainment industry is a vanity fair, and He Mu unconsciously fell into the pursuit of fame and fortune, and even he didn't realize that he was very much looking forward to being on the Forbes celebrity list next year.

Whether this is good or bad, no one can tell. Although fame and fortune will become vulgar. But fame and fortune are also the driving force that pushes people forward. As for whether He Mu will become a layman, it depends on his heart, if he still remembers his pure heart of yearning for performance, then he should be urged to move forward.

Xiao Fang is appreciative of He Mu's rhetoric, he also feels that his previous ideas are too unproductive, He Mu's achievements are obvious, how can he not be on the list, what he has to think about now is to let He Mu participate in more and better works. Strive to mix a better ranking on next year's list and improve his status in the entertainment industry. As a tiger and wolf brother, you can't call yourself a little brother in the circle.

"It should be said that you will definitely be in the top 50, what you want is this kind of determination, this kind of courage, "Chang'an Chaos" is about to start filming, practice your kung fu now, and perform better when the time comes." Xiao Fang said.

"I don't need you to say it, I'm practicing every day, and I'm getting better and better, it's just ......" He Mu thought of something, "It's just that my kung fu shouldn't be very suitable for martial arts drama performances, and the male protagonist in the play is from Shaolin Temple, and I am not in the same system, it seems that it is necessary for me to study in Shaolin Kung Fu crash course for a period of time, or ask Baoqiang for advice." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Fang smiled: "I heard that you beat Bao Qiang on a show, and he can still teach you to have ghosts." ”

It seems that the show has already been broadcast, He Mu sneered: "It's a competition between masters, and victory or defeat is just a small section." ”

"By the way, I have the script planning book written by Ning Caishen and the first three episodes of the script, do you want to take a look." Xiao Fang took out a stack of papers from a drawer.

"Three episodes were written so quickly?" He Mu said excitedly.

"Ning Caishen said that he still has a friend waiting for him to write the script behind this script, so he wrote it very quickly, quickly and brainlessly, but I think it's not bad, this old boy didn't cope with the errand."

He Mu first read the script planning book, and he was very curious about Ning Caishen's overall idea of adapting the novel into a TV script.

On the first page of the planning book, Ning Caishen first solved the problem that explained the background of the times.

"Chang'an Rebellion" is a martial arts novel that blurs the background of the times, or Han Han has not considered the background of the times at all. In the book, Chang'an appeared as the capital of a country, and in history, Chang'an no longer held the position of the capital after the Tang Dynasty, but the repeated Wudang faction in the book is known to have originated in the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, there must be a trade-off here, either give up the attributes of Chang'an's national capital and move the background of the times to the Ming Dynasty, so that you can also add Jinyi Weidong Factory or something, which is very lively; Or, give up the Wudang faction, the martial arts Beidou, put the background of the times in the Tang Dynasty, and re-select an equal opponent for the Shaolin Temple.

Ning Caishen believes that the attributes of Chang'an's national capital are very important, if it is not the national capital, then the three words of Chang'an chaos will become meaningless, although Han Han once said that there is no special meaning for these three words to be combined together, he just wants to put them together and something like that, but these three words must not be replaced, if they are replaced by Bianjing chaos, Jinling chaos, and Beijing chaos, it will all be over, and the adaptation fee of one million is largely because of the two labels of "Chang'an Chaos" and "Han Han", so "Chang'an Chaos" The title of the play must be used, and the attributes of Chang'an's national capital cannot be changed, so Ning Caishen set the background of the era in the Tang Dynasty, and it was the Middle Tang Dynasty.

Interestingly, Ning Caishen wrote the second character in the book, the second male number in the play, that is, the later emperor Li Yan of Tang Wuzong. The Tang Emperor started a short period of Zhongxing in the Middle Tang Dynasty, he inherited the throne from his brother, he was a capable monarch, he appointed virtuous people, reformed the pros and cons, quelled the rebellion in Zelu Town, and defeated the Uighur invasion, but he reigned for only six years at the age of 33. This is not the point, the point is that this emperor is a Taoist reverence, he demolished more than 40,000 temples in just a few years of his reign, and returned more than 300,000 lay monks and nuns, which greatly filled the treasury.

But in the book, Shikong grew up in Shaolin Temple and received Buddhist education since childhood. From between the lines of Ning Caishen's words, He Mu knew that he should know about Tang Wuzong's Shangdao, indicating that such a setting would serve the plot and create greater conflicts, so it would be fun, He Mu was looking forward to it.

Because the Wudang faction would not appear, Ning Caishen deliberately recreated a Taoist rival "Laozi Mountain" for Shaolin Temple.

Laozi Mountain is named after the Taoist patriarch Lao Tzu, which makes sense, and the name is also very funny and easy to remember, this is an ancient sect that has been inherited for thousands of years, representing Taoism, Shaolin Temple has a history of three hundred years since the Bodhidharma Patriarch, representing Buddhism, and the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism will also be one of the highlights of this play.

Regarding the rivers and lakes and martial arts, Han Han's original work is mostly sarcastic and ridiculous about martial arts masters, especially in the first chapter of the martial arts alliance master competition, Ning Caishen thinks that there is no problem in pulling those martial arts masters off the altar, and his "Wulin Gaiden" has also done so, but not too much, martial arts dramas still have to feel a bit of martial arts dramas, and real masters must also exist.

However, in order to fit the spirit of funny entertainment in the original work, the power of martial arts should not be too large, Ning Caishen lowered the lethality of martial arts masters by a notch as a whole, like those earth-destroying moves in "Fengyun" are impossible, the six-vein divine sword comparable to laser gun in "Tianlong Babu" is also slightly exaggerated, and the great shift of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is completely inconsistent with human science.

Ning Caishen wants the kind of martial arts that is reasonable and a little exaggerated, he doesn't want a light master to jump directly over a high mountain, but he can cross a wall, which is almost what it means, as for how to embody it during filming, it will test the director's wisdom.

As for the relationship between the main characters in the play, He Mu has read the first three chapters and basically understands it.

The hero is a mysterious orphan who has lived in Shaolin Temple since he was a child, and when he was about seven or eight years old, there was an additional brother in the temple, a senior brother who entered later than him, and he was also very mysterious. After another year or two, because of the refugee wave, the temple took in a little girl who refused to say her name, the little girl was seven or eight years old, and was later named Xile, which was also very mysterious, two monks and a little girl grew up together, established a deep friendship, and when they grew up, they went down the mountain together to explore the rivers and lakes.

The first three episodes probably talked about the three children growing up, Ning Caishen is indeed an interesting person, combined with the wonderful parts of Han Han's original work, and then played and expanded by himself, and wrote the story of two little monks and a chick in a funny way, which makes people laugh when they read it, and now the three young people have germinated the idea of going down the mountain, what will the story in the rivers and lakes be like, He Mu is looking forward to the later part.

"How?" After He Mu finished reading, Xiao Fang asked.

"Ning Caishen is a good choice." He Mu said.

Xiao Fang was secretly proud, but he found the screenwriter.

Thinking of one thing, Xiao Fang said again, "By the way, Xiao Mu, the crew of "The True Colors of Men" will appear at the Hong Kong International Film Festival in half a month, and the trailer will be released and a media conference will be held, and the producer will invite you to attend as well. ”

Originally, the focus of the publicity of "The True Colors of Men" has always been Nicholas Tse, Yu Wenle, Fang Zuming, and Wu Jing, the four good and evil, but since He Mu has been in contact with Wu Yusen and Wang Jiawei, the filmmaker has also paid more and more attention to He Mu, the anti-No. 2, not only the poster designed with He Mu's face, but even some of the main publicity did not forget to call He Mu.

"I'll have an arrangement in half a month." He Mu smiled mysteriously. (To be continued......)
