Chapter 457 Teacher Da Shu, why don't you play Sun Wukong?
On the morning of December 19th, in the reception room of Shumi's studio. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Shu Hongming, Rice, Feng Chang and Du Rufeng sat opposite each other, Chen Jingjing poured water from the water dispenser and brought them Shu Hongming and Rice.
After chatting casually, Du Rufeng said with a smile: "Teacher Dashu, I'm really sorry, I came to disturb you today......
Shu Hongming smiled slightly and said, "Gotcha!" Director Du, you're polite, it's me who snubbed you. It's been a busy time, and I haven't been able to talk to you about it......"
That's right, Shu Hongming and Rice are really busy during this time.
On the studio's side, there are a lot of messy reports every day, and Shu Hongming is so busy that he can't get out of it, not to mention, Shu Hongming and Rice have to go to some variety shows, interviews, and the like with other members of the crew of "Those Years". Well, that's the hype.
Because of their busyness, Shu Hongming and Du Rufeng have not been able to make an appointment to talk about the "Journey to the West" TV series.
Of course, the point is also because Shu Hongming and Du Rufeng are both busy people, Du Rufeng sometimes flies around by plane, and the time really can't get together. Now that "Those Years" has been released for two weeks, Shu Hongming and Rice have also relaxed a lot, and finally made time.
However, the power of media hype in "Those Years" during this period is indeed considerable.
Shu Hongming and Rice, two newcomers in the film industry, have become first-line movie stars in the film industry under this hype - of course, this is also because Shu Hongming and Rice were originally very famous, otherwise they would definitely not be so fast.
As for Zhong Shaohui, the director of "Those Years", he was originally just a third-line literary film director who begged people everywhere and pulled investment, but now he is directly rushing into the second line because of a "Those Years", but he is still the most up-and-coming one in the second line. Every day, many people hold tickets and scripts to block his door, in order to let him direct and make movies.
There are also Zhang Zhiwei, Jian Yihang and others, although they are supporting roles, but because of the success of "Those Years", they have become well-known actors, Zhang Zhiwei has just taken over a book, Jian Yihang's luck is better, and some people have contacted him as the leading actor......
Du Rufeng chuckled and shook his head: "Mr. Dashu, it's no wonder that you are so busy during this time, the box office of "Those Years" is really powerful, and now it is 496 million." According to the current trend, the box office of "Those Years" can be fished for at least three to four weeks, and then slowly drawn, it is almost inevitable that the box office of "Those Years" will exceed 1 billion......"
"Tsk...... You are so young, and this is the big screen debut of the two of you, and you have become the hero and heroine of a movie with a box office of 1 billion, I don't know how many people are jealous......"
The rice was happy next to him, and Shu Hongming also smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Director Du has a good reputation, we are just a fluke." ā
"Fluke? Where did this kind of thing come from? Du Rufeng sighed, "Teacher Da Shu, after I made a successful TV series, I once made a movie, you should know, right?" I was also a well-known producer and director at that time, but the movie I made was terrible, with an investment of nearly 6 million, and the total box office was only 600,000, which was simply lost to my grandmother's family, and almost all the family funds were folded in it! ā
"Later, I honestly became a TV drama producer and director. In the circle of movies, ordinary people really can't play it, but you can! You are a true genius! ā
Du Rufeng gave a thumbs up, his eyes were complicated, and he looked admiring.
Speaking of which, when he heard that Shu Hongming and Dami were going to be the leading actors in "Those Years", he also felt that "Those Years" was bound to hit the streets, who would have thought that "Those Years" would be so successful?
And what made all this was the gentle and indifferent smiling guy in front of him.
This guy is not only a well-known genius music producer and singer in the music industry, but also a new filmmaker and a future billion-dollar box office genius actor...... Of course, secretly he is still a super-popular genius writer who is popular on the Internet and plays a pivotal role in the literary world......
Where did this evil come from?
Shu Hongming smiled slightly, then coughed lightly and changed the topic: "Director Du, let's talk about "Journey to the West". The script of the TV series "Journey to the West" that you faxed to me earlier, I briefly read it. Your adaptation is very good, but it's a little too much......"
"Too much?" Du Rufeng was stunned for a moment, and asked strangely, "What is too much?" ā
Shu Hongming continued to explain: "Director Du, it literally, you have written too much of the script and story of "Journey to the West". The story of "Journey to the West" is a total of 9981 difficulties, and you actually wrote all the 9981 difficulties, which makes the "Journey to the West" TV series seem too redundant......"
Du Rufeng pondered for a while and understood what Shu Hongming meant: "What does Teacher Da Shu mean is that there is no need to write every difficulty in "Journey to the West"? ā
Shu Hongming nodded and said, "That's right, we just need to pick some representative adventure stories......
Du Rufeng immediately shook his head, not agreeing with Shu Hongming's opinion: "...... In this way, "Journey to the West" can indeed be streamlined, but in this way, "Journey to the West" is incomplete. Teacher Dashu, this is your own "Journey to the West", are you willing to make this adaptation incomplete? ā
Shu Hongming waved his hand and said, "Director Du, listen to me first." Although "Journey to the West" has ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties, if all of them are filmed, the routines in it are exactly the same, and they are very monotonous. The audience will feel fresh when they are learning from the master and making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, but once we start to repeat the plot of 'Master was captured by a monster', we will definitely lose a lot of viewers, and the ratings will drop ......"
āā¦ā¦ If we had to pick out a part of the story and make it into a TV series, there would be no problem. As for the rest of the stories, it's not that we won't shoot them, but we will wait for the audience to accept "Journey to the West" before making a sequel, and then shoot all the stories. ā
"In that case, it's better for the ratings, don't you say?"
Du Rufeng was stunned for a while, and then slapped his thigh: "Yes, I only care about the integrity of the story, and I forgot about this stubble." So tell me, which stories should we shoot first? ā
Next, Shu Hongming and Du Rufeng discussed for a while, and finally selected more than a dozen very distinctive stories, and then talked about the joint shooting.
Seeing that the time was noon, Shu Hongming, Rice, Du Rufeng, Chen Jing and others went to a nearby hotel to ask for a private room, chatted while eating, and while talking, Du Rufeng patted Shu Hongming's shoulder and said:
"Mr. Da Shu, "Journey to the West" is your work, you can support the shooting! I watched your performance in the movie "Those Years", and the acting skills are simply amazing! If you want me to say, or you play the Monkey King! ā
"Ahem...... Shu Hongming, who was eating, coughed lightly, "What did you say?" I'm not going to act. ā
His image is not like Sun Wukong at all, is it? Does he resemble a monkey gills with a sharp beak?
Du Rufeng was stunned for a moment: "You don't want to play Monkey King?" That...... Or Tang Seng? ā
Shu Hongming was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but think of Tang Sanzhang who sang "only-you" in "Journey to the West", rolled his eyes, and burst into a foul mouth in his heart-
Tang Seng, your sister! (To be continued.) )
