Chapter 150: Scene 150 Seeking a new soundtrack
When it comes to aiqing dramas, ordinary people will think of the perfect plot like a fairy tale, in fact, on the contrary, what can really move people's hearts and make people forever remember is not the perfect ending, but the "real reaction" expressed by people in aiqing, in the virtual fantasy plot, the characters face aiqing, hesitate, despair, choose, torment, these real reactions are the basis of moving.
All idol dramas of Weishenme will be ridiculed by many people as brain-dead dramas, because the character development is not real, the male protagonist usually becomes a naïve teenager from the beginning of rationality, but at the end, he becomes a naïve teenager, in order to cater to the perfect plot, the characters have "unreasonable degradation".
Weishenme male protagonist wants to give up his family affection, friends, and choose to be with the heroine Aiqing? He weishenme can't choose the right female number two? aiqing is love, so isn't family and friendship love?
aiqing is supreme, this is the concept of the eighteen-year-old girl Qiong Yao's drama.
Is aiqing a reason to hurt other people? If the male protagonist is an eighteen-year-old child, this choice may be reasonable, but most of the male protagonists are mature men with good education and career success.
What is a truly moving aiqing? Is it the perfect prince princess in everything, or as described in "Tokyo Aiqing Story", we fall in love, we grow, we get better......
Or in "Titanic", the gangsters grew up because of love and gave up their lives to become lovers?
Can he go to these audiences who are accustomed to fairy tale plots to show the real and moving but regretful aiqing?
Li Xiaole thought about it, these are the episodes that can make "My Girl" really sublimate into a classic, but it is a bit risky, should he go for it? This will greatly increase the difficulty of filming, and it is not easy for the TV station to explain the temporary change of script...... He felt that his control over the plot had strengthened, and he could already have enough capital to pursue and take risks.
"Everybody's here." Li Xiaole beckoned, and the entire crew of actors, and dozens of people behind the scenes stopped their work and came over.
"What's the matter with the director? Just say it, let's hang us like this, and I'm panicking~" Cui Dongxun said with his teeth, and everyone echoed: "Yes, you say it~" Everyone can see that the director has something on his mind.
"That's the ......" Li Xiaole took a deep breath and said slowly: "I want to change the script of the four episodes of Zuihou, and I want to change the ending, but this kind of filming is a bit overloaded, and the number of episodes will be reduced by one episode, everyone has worked hard for so long...... I'd like to hear your opinions, too. ”
Although everything is for the work, looking at this face with deep dark circles and only sleeping 4 hours a day, Li Xiaole is really a little unbearable, as long as everyone disagrees, he will not be reluctant.
"...... change the script?" Everyone gathered around, staring at each other, and after a few seconds of silence, everyone suddenly smiled, and Xu Zhen stammered: "No...... Isn't it just overtime~ Guide...... Director, you're not afraid, we're afraid of a fart~! Change! Who cares about such a as taking money for one less episode~~"
"It's ~ change ~ just change ~ the director said that there must be a reason to change ~ don't worry, ours can hold up~!" Li Duohai shouted even more.
"Whoever can't hold it is the grandson."
Everyone roared and looked at Lu Zaifu, and Lu Zaifu also smiled bitterly: "You boys...... It's really uncomfortable. But of course he nodded and said:
"Director Li, don't worry, I'll say it to KBS, it's okay, even if the two episodes of zuihou are made into horror movies, I will support you~" After so many things, he has absolute trust in Li Xiaole.
"Haha, I didn't expect Manager Lu to be so humorous." Everyone laughed and looked very happy.
Li Xiaole felt that the firm trust of these people around him surrounded him, and his heart felt very warm, none of them asked how to change it, nor did they ask how long it would take to shoot, but they trusted him unconditionally, it turned out that the feeling of being a director could be so wonderful.
Li Xiaolezhi felt that his chest was full of liliang, as if he didn't feel any fear, and nodded vigorously:
"That's good~Let's shoot like this~!"

At the KBS director meeting, when the crew of "My Girl" proposed to change the ending, reduce one episode, and shoot a new ending for fifteen episodes, the conference room was already in chaos at the moment, and Director Shen was almost so angry that he jumped on the table.
"How can this be!? The ratings are so good, what is the reason for reducing the number of episodes? "Other crews are desperately working hard to add a plot to drag two episodes when the ratings are haode, these people are good, the ratings are over 40, and they have to reduce one episode.
"Isn't this Director Li crazy, he actually wants to change the perfect ending...... He is trying to challenge the audience's bottom line. ”
"You hear clearly, not only does he want to change the ending, he also wants to reduce the number of episodes, one episode of drama and one episode of money, he is throwing money into the water, I really don't know what he is thinking in his head."
Originally, there were 15 episodes, and it happened that the weekend drama file could be released on the same day, but Li Xiaole's adjustment made the new drama a week apart, and Lin Dongzhu, as the direct victim, slapped the table with a red face, pointing at Li Xiaole and yelling:
"Li Xiaole, you just deliberately corrected me, you know that I am behind you, so you will change it to a bullshit ending, so that the audience will be upset and ruin my drama~! I've never seen someone as unruly as you! ”
Lu Zaifu looked at everyone calmly, coughed dryly, and waited until everyone quieted down before he said slowly:
"Director Shen, according to the agreement between the Broadcasting Bureau and KBS, we have the right to revise the script, and we can compress the number of episodes on the premise of maintaining quality, if you refuse our crew's request, then you can file a complaint with the Broadcasting Bureau for arbitration, but I remind you that it will take two weeks, once the filming of the series is affected, the consequences may not be affordable to you and me."
"And Manager Lin Dongzhu, please pay attention to your wording, this is KBS, not the Broadcasting Bureau, don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence, if you don't make it public, I will appeal to your behavior in the Broadcasting Bureau."
"Director Shen, I'll tell you the bottom, Director Li's level I believe everyone has a judgment in their hearts, he naturally has his reason for proposing to change the script, I think no one has more say in judging the merits of the work than him, if you still insist on questioning Director Li's ability, then it is likely to affect our next cooperation."
Li Xiaole sat on the chair and admired the deflated expressions of everyone at the scene, and felt funny in his heart, although Lu Zaifu was eloquent, but now after all, when the yield of "My Girl" exploded, he could completely grasp the initiative, and he didn't need any skills, just take the facts and bring them out, which was enough to make everyone speechless.
"Okay......" Director Shen's face was cloudy, he thought about it for a while, and figured out the key points, compared to the gains and losses of one or two episodes of a series, this promising director Li Xiaole is the really important key, after figuring this out, no matter how reluctant he is, he can only put on a smiling face, and said kindly:
"Since Director Li has put forward artistic requirements, we can only respect his decision and follow Director Li's proposal......"
"~!" Lin Dongzhu stood up halfway through hearing this, the green tendons on his forehead were about to burst out, he couldn't accept that Lu Zaifu, an old guy who was eating and waiting for death, could still get the result he wanted after openly threatening him.
The anger made Lin Dongzhu completely lose his mind, and he yelled angrily: "Director Shen, are you confused!?" How can you change your mind just because of a few words with the surname Lu!? How did you become a director? When you encounter this kind of temporary revision of the script, can you agree? Can I also change the script as I like in the future? If you don't punish this surnamed Lu today, how will KBS manage the promotion manager of the Broadcasting Bureau in the future~! ”
"Alright, Manager Lin...... I see what you mean, so let's dismiss. Director Shen's face was as cold as ice, and after he finished speaking in a low-level voice, he didn't even look at Lin Dongzhu and Lu Zaifu, and left after shaking hands with Li Xiaole, leaving Lin Dongzhu, who was at a loss, in his seat.
"Let's go." Li Xiaole didn't even look at Lin Dongzhu, and left with Lu Zaifu as a winner.
Lin Dongzhu looked at the backs of the two of them and was stunned for a long time, laughed angrily, and muttered to himself: "Change it, change it, I'll see what you can change." ”

The filming time flies, and under the precise control of Li Xiaole, the crew completed the filming of the two episodes of Zuihou without accident, although the change of the plot in a short period of time made everyone feel very uncomfortable, and the degree of hard work was greater than any previous period, but no one had any complaints.
This is also due to the outstanding performance of young actors such as Lee Dahae, Lee Dong-wook, Lee Jun-ki, etc., the effect of the special training in the first few months, and the great progress in filming.
The filming of the two episodes of Zuihou completely subverted the previous atmosphere and sublimated to another realm, if this kind of emotional scene was filmed at the beginning, I am afraid that the three of them would not be able to control it at all, and all the people involved in the filming felt the improvement of the acting quality of these three actors.
Even Lu Zaifu, who is extremely picky, couldn't help but sigh when he talked to his colleagues in secret: "It's not because they are my crew that I said this, these young actors in the crew of "My Girl" will definitely be the pillars of the Korean film and television industry in the future, I haven't seen such a talented child actor for decades......"
According to KBS regulations, 10 days before the broadcast, the first film tape of zuihou's four episodes had been sent to the review department, and it was only broadcast once in the review department, which had already caused a big sensation.
