Chapter 141: The Idea of Costume Martial Arts
Taking advantage of his busyness, Lin Yuquan said to other people who didn't know the situation: "Some time ago, Xiao Yang and a musician friend he knew came up with the idea of making a music video, I thought that Shuguang.com just needed such a short film when it was launched, so I invested 100,000 yuan for him to shoot, and the short film he made was called "Memoirs of a Male Geisha", and I don't know if it was a spoof of "Memoirs of a Geisha" starring Zhang Ziyi. ”
"Music clips." Hearing Lin Yuquan's words, Pan Hongchang, the person in charge of Shuguang.com, showed a thoughtful look.
At this time, Xiao Yang has already done it, there is naturally a projector in the office, with Lin Yuquan's signal, the words produced by the chopsticks brothers immediately appeared on the projector screen, and after the words, with the scene of the four Japanese ronins drinking together in the picture, the red font of "Bless you dear" immediately jumped out of the center of the screen, this is the song in the film of this music video, and after the red font disappeared, the pleasant music also sounded.
The picture closes, Xiao Yang's Japanese ronin appearance makes Lin Yuquan can't help but be amused at first glance, and then when the geisha playing the pipa appears, he almost laughs.
The song of "Bless Your Dear" finally sounded at this time: just come here, don't say anything, tears have fallen in an instant, from now on you and I will be at the end of the world, maybe never again, dear, will you still remember me? The drizzle was mixed with tears, blurring the eyes
The story also unfolds slowly in the sound of music, the old mopper who has been diving for many years, the ronin Xiao Sang played by Xiao Yang met the coquettish and stunning in the tavern, but in fact it is played by a man, the appearance of the laughing geisha Lao Wang, four eyes opposite, the two of them were passionate all night, and then after the ecstasy, the ronin Xiao Sang was going to embark on a journey. The geisha reluctantly followed, and at the sacred moment when the emotional realm of the two was elevated from the physical to the spiritual, a dart flew into the air...... Therefrom. The story spans ancient and modern times, unfolding a hilarious and embarrassing past and present life of the two.
The music in the video is sung three times in total. Every time you sing it, it's a story, a life.
Everyone watched while having fun, and when the short film was played, they immediately couldn't help laughing, and Ning Hao, who was already laughing low, burst into tears when he laughed again.
"It's so spoofed, I don't know how Zhang Ziyi will feel when she sees this short film, by the way, Xiao Yang. Who is playing the role of a geisha? It's simply amazing, and Zhou Xingchi's "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" is a fight with the flowers. Lin Yuquan asked with a smile.
Xiao Yang smiled: "That's what I said about my musician friend Wang Li, how about it, I was taken aback, I didn't think he could act cheekily at the time, and after he finished putting on makeup, I sprayed it myself." ”
"It's him, amazing, he really sacrificed for the sake of art, this song is really good. I didn't expect you to have the potential to sing, if the director can't get along in the future, you can get a group to sing with him. Lin Yuquan smiled: "Brother Hao." What do you think of this short film? ”
"Although the content is absurd and funny, and the short film is very short, it can be seen from the short film that Xiao Yang's storytelling level is very good, but funny is funny, but the laughter is very low-level, not extreme enough, and not suitable for the big screen, he needs more exploration to find his own style." Ning Hao couldn't hold back a smile and said.
Lin Yuquan nodded. Ning Hao's opinion coincides with him, Xiao Yang really needs more tempering. It's too early for him to take charge of the film on his own, but it's a short film. It can also be seen that he has extraordinary directorial potential.
"General Manager Pan, what do you think?"
"Just like the boss said, this video is very funny, and it will definitely win the love of the majority of netizens after it is put on the Dawning Network, and after watching it, I have an idea, this type of short film requires less funds, basically as long as there is a director's photography foundation, you can make your own zuò, the key point is the story, is the creativity, in this case, why don't we hold a short film competition, with a huge prize money or funding the winners to shoot real movies to attract people to participate, in this way, both to improve the popularity and influence of our Dawning Network, and you can get a large number of creative videos at a small price. Pan Hongchang said excitedly.
Lin Yuquan's eyes lit up, this is indeed a very good idea.
"Yes, you plan carefully after you go back, if it is feasible, then we will start to implement it."
"Okay." Pan Hongchang nodded.
"Xiao Yang, I think you should still practice in the form of this short film next, how much money will be needed at that time, just tell me, I fully support you." Lin Yuquan thought for a while and said, this should be the most conducive way for Xiao Yang's growth at the moment.
"Okay." Xiao Yang simply responded, in fact, after filming "Memoirs of a Male Geisha", he and Wang Li already planned to do so, even if Lin Yuquan didn't mention it, he was ready to tell Lin Yuquan what he thought.
"Sister Chang, what about you?" Lin Yuquan turned to look at Chang Jihong.
"Our brokerage company is mainly based on internal digestion, and now there are many of our artists, especially first-line and quasi-first-line artists, and with the hit of "Happiness Like Flowers" and the follow-up "I Am Special Forces", people like Jiang Yan and Wang Luodan will quickly occupy a place in the entertainment industry, so next, what we have to do is to give them a good show on the one hand, and on the other hand, to develop and enhance their commercial value, so in terms of film and television dramas, I hope to get more support from within the company, after all, the film and television dramas that our company is filming or filming in the future are far from being comparable to ordinary film and television dramas in terms of investment, such a large-scale film and television drama is too important for actors, in addition, Zhou Xun there, according to my previous contact, she has not signed a contract with Huayi Brothers, so you need to trouble the boss You contact her during the promotion of "Red Cliff", to see if you can dig her up, if you have her, we have two of the four major flowers, In the future, when filming large-scale films, we will be able to keep good role opportunities in our own hands. Chang Jihong said with a smile.
"Zhou Xun's matter, I'll try it then, General Manager Pan, let's talk about the next plan of Shuguang!"
"During this period of time, the number of daily visits to our Shuguang network and the duration of visits to WÈN have continued to increase, according to your requirements, boss, we are negotiating with major film and television companies about the copyright of film and television dramas, and the next step, the focus of our work is mainly to enrich the content of the website. Enhance user stickiness. Pan Hongchang said slowly.
"Okay, Tong Guò just talked, I believe everyone also has a preliminary understanding of each other's situation in the next stage. Here, I summarize. At present, the only film and television dramas we will make clear that we want to produce and shoot next year are "Soldier Assault", "New Shanghai Beach" and my own new movie, I will mention later, in addition, Ning Hao and Liu Meng's works are possible to shoot, in terms of quantity, we will shoot significantly fewer film and television dramas, too much waste of the company's human resources. From the perspective of the agency, we need to train the actors and consolidate the existing status of the actors. It is bound to need more film and television dramas suitable for our own people. From the perspective of Shuguang.com, we need high-quality content resources, and preferably exclusive resources, from the above situation, it is not difficult to see that increasing the output of film and television dramas has become the unanimous appeal of the three companies. So, the next thing we have to do is make that happen. How? First of all, we have to shoot at least one more film, and in this regard, we can release news to the outside world, so that those directors who are worried about investment will automatically come to the door. Secondly, in terms of TV series, my idea is to add two more to the existing one. I have thought about the genre, a modern theme, a costume theme, among which the costume theme, we can fix it, and invest in filming a large-scale costume TV series every year in the future, which is not much more expensive, just like Zhang Jizhong has done in recent years, if you don't shoot, you have to shoot Zhang's "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "Dragon Babu", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Lin Yuquan said loudly.
Lin Yuquan's tone was so imposing, resolute and powerful. Everyone present was shocked, and no one would suspect that Lin Yuquan was just talking empty words. Since he says and does, he will do what he says. Judging from Lin Yuquan's previous writings in "Red Cliff" and three TV series, it is not difficult for everyone to imagine how earth-shattering his so-called annual masterpiece should be.
Followed by people like Chang Jihong, He Liwen and others are extremely excited, although the excitement of TV series is not divided into types, but if you look at it from the perspective of influence, the costume martial arts TV series of the big production zuò is definitely incomparable to other types of TV series, and its audience alone is much more, if it is really like what Lin Yuquan said, then it will inevitably have a far-reaching impact on the TV drama business of Shuguang Film Company and the artists of Yuquan Family.
Lin Yuquan looked at everyone's expressions in his eyes and smiled brightly: "What do you think of our first costume TV series filming Jin Yong's "Deer and Ding Ji"? Or do you guys have a better recommendation? ”
"The Deer and Ding Ji", this Jin Yong's sealed work, everyone is naturally no stranger, after listening to it, he suddenly showed a thoughtful look, many people's expressions were a little distressed, and it seemed difficult to say why for a while, to say that "The Deer and Ding Ji" is not suitable for adaptation of film and television dramas, this is obviously not true, after all, Liang Chaowei's version, Chen Xiaochun's version, and Zhang Weijian's version have all created Zào amazing ratings, and Zhou Xingchi's two Lu Ding Ji movies are also the top ten high-grossing movies at the annual box office, but if you want to say good, you can't say it, This is mainly because there are too many costume themes, too broad, not to mention other genres, just the novels of Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng, Gu Long, Huang Yi, Wen Ruian, Wo Longsheng, Xiao Yi and other martial arts masters are a huge number, and among these novels, "The Legend of Deer and Ding" is definitely not the best.
It's not so easy to make a better recommendation for yourself, because in these novels, some of the slightly more famous ones have already been filmed, and it's not a good thing to appear too often, and those that aren't famous, no one understands the situation, and as for other types of costumes, they also don't have a clear idea in a short period of time.
"Yuquan, "The Legend of the Deer and Ding" is not a pure martial arts novel, you are in charge, it would be better for us to make film and television dramas like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Heaven and Dragon Slayer". After thinking about it, Ning Hao said, not clearly recommending it.
The others didn't speak, in fact, everyone wanted to know the reason why Lin Yuquan chose to shoot "The Legend of Deer and Ding". (To be continued)
