Chapter Ninety-Nine: The screen is full of Zhang Qiu's regrets
The laughter in the cinema was uninterrupted from beginning to end, and every audience member was very happy to watch it, but this did not bring any praise to Zhang Qiuxi, the screenwriter. For ordinary viewers, "Journey to the West" once again proves that she is a crusher of the original work through and through, and has become accustomed to her "quirky" adaptation of the original work.
Fortunately, this adaptation is very joyful, taking the path of "East Becomes West", everyone is very happy to watch, and no one scolds the mother, but countless people shout classics for the plot and lines. If you take the path of literature and art like "East Evil and West Poison", Qin Jianghua's foundation will definitely not be the first to accept it.
Although Qin Jianghua is the most famous comedian, the audience's first reaction when they see him is to laugh, but who dares to guarantee what Qin Jianghua, who is bent on breaking through, will be like when he meets Zhang Qiuxi, many people are worried that this will be a literary film dressed in the skin of comedy before stepping into the cinema.
This problem is completely mediocre, Zhang Qiuxi has not yet changed "Journey to the West" into a literary film in the style of the king of sunglasses, but the audience doesn't know.
The film critic said that "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" did not bring any surprises, although the movie is indeed very funny and a successful comedy, but the absurd and noisy style is still the same as "East Becomes West".
"It's just a nonsensical comedy, but she's taken it to the extreme. Qin Jianghua in the movie is still the same Qin Jianghua, I really don't know why Qin Jianghua said that this movie gave him a breakthrough, is it possible that the mystery of QiΔ is in the sequel? β
In the eyes of film critics, "Moonlight Treasure Box" is also just a popcorn movie, which everyone is very happy to watch but has no substantive meaning at all. This is completely inconsistent with the rhetoric of Qin Jianghua and the producer before the release, but one thing they guessed was right, the finishing touch of "Journey to the West" was in the second part.
"Unfinished treatment, you can figure it out, you wrote the movie script as a TV drama script, right?" Walking out of the cinema, Hongdou was a little unsatisfied, and he was very dissatisfied with not being able to see the ending.
"I can't help it, I can't stop the inspiration. After writing it, I found that it was too long, so I could only split it up and make two parts, which is different from the sequel movie that is clearly here to make money. Zhang Qiuxi shrugged his shoulders and bragged without blinking.
"The point is when will we see the end?" Ye Qingqing followed and said: "This movie is especially special, but it is still far from what Qin Jianghua said." β
Zhang Qiuxi said: "How do I know how Shuguang Media arranges films, if nothing else, it should be in the Chinese New Year file." After all, depending on the situation, this part will be popular for at least two or three months, and it will almost catch up with the Chinese New Year schedule. β
"I think it should also be a Chinese New Year file, so I have to ask my dad for details." Li Yue also said that he was not clear.
"What's the name of Part 2? What's so special about it? Hongdou couldn't help but ask curiously.
"If Shuguang Media hadn't changed its name, it would have been called Journey to the West: The Great Sage Marrying. As for the plot, spoilers are immoral and will reduce your enjoyment, right? Zhang Qiuxi resolutely refused to sue SΓΉ Hongdou.
Zhang Qiuxi had an expression of consideration for the red bean, in fact, she deliberately didn't want to satisfy her curiosity, on the other hand, Shangguan Jin was very calm about it, she was happy to wait for the wonderful story, and didn't want to inquire about the inside story in advance, Zhang Qiuxi leaned over and said: "Shangguan, the plot about the second part is mainly ......"
"Looking for a draw, aren't you?" Γ2γ Shangguan Jin and Hongdou spoke in unison.
ββββββ
"Moonlight Treasure Box" completely detonated the summer file, although many film critics expressed doubts, but this did not affect people's enthusiasm for watching movies, and there were still a lot of people squeezing into the cinema every day, and a series of box office records were broken.
The first season of "Lady Sling" is also coming to an end, and this webcast script has filled every corner of the Internet, but with the release of "Moonlight Treasure Box", the limelight has been completely stolen. The only thing that remains unchanged is that the click-through rate is still quite high, and what is snatched away is just the topic, and when discussing "Moonlight Treasure Box", it does not prevent people from continuing to watch the show.
When "Ms. Sling" reached the tenth episode, the number of hits was approaching 400 million, which is still a record-breaking number. Whether it is a movie, TV series or variety show before, it has never been so high, and sure enough, online dramas are the most suitable for Internet culture.
Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the premiere platform is different, the webcast drama is only broadcast on the Internet, and the others are at most broadcast simultaneously, and it is normal that the click-through rate is not high.
Anyway, this summer vacation is destined to belong to Zhang Qiuxi. When "Lady Sling" was still creating a myth and the box office of "Moonlight Treasure Box" was soaring, Hollywood was not willing to be lonely to join in the fun, and Warner Bros. officially announced the official start of filming of "I, Machine Qì Man" when their company's film was drawn.
At this time, the Chinese people knew that Zhang Qiuxi had sold the adaptation rights of the novel to a Hollywood film and television company, and such a blockbuster news was quickly spread by the media. Even in the United States, the news has attracted great attention, and "I, the Machine Qì Man" has sold millions of copies in the United States.
"Well, that's right. The adaptation rights to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy were also sold to Warners, but I was not involved in the creation of the script, and I certainly don't know when it will be filmed. β
Zhang Qiuxi, who rarely appears in public, gave a telephone interview, mainly to confirm the sale of the rights to the adaptation of the novel to Warner Bros. After hanging up the phone, Zhang Qiuxi calmly wrote the script, and Hongdou leaned over to sit on her desk, and the scenery under the short skirt of such an action was unobstructed.
"You're here to sue me that you're wearing a new pair of panties today?"
"What woman would stare at the underskirts of other girls all day long like you? Also, how do you know this is new? β
"That's because no woman has a man's soul like me."
Zhang Qiuxi rubbed his head, and Hongdou said: "I just wonder why there is a commotion outside, you yourself are still so calm, is this the legendary pretending to be invisible?" β
Zhang Qiu spread his hands and said: "I was happy when the adaptation rights were sold, but now the adaptation has been implemented, what is there to be happy about?" Although I am known as the original shredder, it is certain that the plot of the movie is certainly not far behind. β
"You mean they won't respect the original?" Hongdou asked and said, "But it's not surprising, the store is a big bully." Many people in China have to give you face, a company as big as Warner Bros. seems to be able to really not dump you at this stage. β
At this time, Shangguan Jin interjected: "It shouldn't be that I don't buy Xiaoqiu's account, but me, the machine qΓ¬ person itself is a collection of short stories, even if only one of the short stories is adapted, the plot will definitely have to be expanded, and it is not surprising that the story will deviate from the original work." β
Of course, it is impossible to adapt only one short story, because a single short story is not attractive enough, and the novel can sell well because it is supported by a series of stories under a large framework. Hongdou nodded thoughtfully, and asked again: "What do you think will be adapted, will it break your bottom line?" β
"It can't be." Zhang Qiuxi was not worried about being changed beyond recognition, and said: "No matter what, the background will definitely remain, especially the three laws of the machine, otherwise they don't need to buy the adaptation rights, just create a story directly." β
"So I think they should be under this framework, borrowing the plot of the novel to create a story."
Originally, the film and television companies in time and space almost did this, so Zhang Qiuxi had actually prepared for a long time. If it had been decided to shoot "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" this time, it would have been possible to respect the original book, but unfortunately it is not known how long it will take for this novel to be put on the screen, and the original record of time and space seems to be about thirty years......
"Actually, that's already pretty good, and if the movie is a big hit, they'll be eager for your other work." Azuki said as he jumped off his desk and sat back in his place.
"I don't know if Hollywood is rushing to it, but now in China, it seems that you can hear the name Zhang Qiuxi wherever you go." Ye Qingqing continued: "Whether it is a newspaper or a web portal, as long as you open it, you can always see Ah Qiu's name, so the stars who make a living from hype are not so powerful." β
Li Yue, who had not spoken, also smiled: "The main thing is that Ah Qiu has been very active recently, and the news announced by Warner Bros. should be regarded as an assist." β
"It's not that I'm particularly active during this time, it's that those plays are crowded into this summer vacation." Zhang Qiuxi spread his hands and said: "And this is not the end, because I also sold the adaptation rights of Xiao Shiyilang." β
"Sell to Century Films?"
"Hmm. The success of Chu Liuxiang's legend made them more confident, and coupled with the relationship between Xiaoyue's father, they must be the first choice to sell. Of course, another reason is that Century Film and Television is easier to talk and will not change the relationship between the characters. However, it seems that it will be more difficult to adapt "Xiao Shiyi Lang", and what will become of it can only be known after it is broadcast.
When talking about the script, Zhang Qiuxi roughly talked about the plot of "Fire and Xiao Shiyilang", which is likely to be added, and more importantly, how to deal with emotional problems. Maintaining the tragedy is not something the audience will be happy to see, if Xiao Shiyi Lang is with Shen Bijun, and then give Feng Siniang to Yang Kaitai, Zhang Qiuxi is the first to have an opinion.
"So that means you'll continue to save zΓ i, I don't know if anyone will get tired of watching it." Azuki seems to be looking forward to this.
