Chapter 232: Before Begining
"May I ask Mr. Zhao, did you choose Miss Lin Yuna to play Ren Yingying because she is your cousin?"
"Lin Yun'er is a high-achieving student in the play, and her appearance is more in line with the role of Ren Yingying, which is the main reason why I chose her. Of course, I don't deny the fact that she is my cousin. ”
"May I ask Mr. Zhao, why did you choose Luo Ye to play Linghu Chong?"
"I think Luo Ye can play the role of Ling Hu Chong well, in addition, Luo Ye grabbed my sofa around his neck without any trouble, and now there is an opportunity to exploit and oppress him, of course he has to take advantage of it."
"Haha......"
The reporters who interviewed couldn't help laughing, and Luo Ye, who was sitting next to Zhao Xingchi, smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders.
On July 1st, the launching ceremony of the TV series "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was held in the magic capital, Stephen Zhao and director Zhao Xiaogang, starring Luo Ye, Lin Yuner, An Xuaner, Lu Huilan and other collective appearances, director Chen Xin, Wang Baogang, screenwriter Cao Baochuan, superstar Jay Sun, beautiful stars Zhou Bing, Tang Xinya, etc. came to help.
The plots of the TV series and the movie of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" are completely different, and the selection of actors is of course different.
To make a movie, it is necessary to shoot characteristics, take a novel route, and the plot must be ups and downs and compact, so the changes to the original work are generally relatively large.
This is not the case with TV series, especially when martial arts novels are adapted into TV series for the first time, the most taboo thing is to drastically change the plot. Even if it is a remake or remake, the plot cannot be changed at will, and the most suitable way is to shoot it, follow the plot of the novel and tell the story seriously.
The original intention of changing at will to enhance the entertainment effect is good, but an inadvertent ending is that it is criticized and complained by the audience.
Although it is said that it is now an eyeball economy. Many viewers watch TV series for the sake of scolding, and the more they scold, the more they will watch it, which will produce a sense of accomplishment that can completely blow up the screenwriter's IQ; However, this measure is not easy to grasp, and if it is a little worse, the audience will lose interest in watching it.
When it was first adapted. What readers of the original book are most looking forward to is that the characters in the novel appear in front of their eyes one by one, according to their expectations in their hearts, and they don't want these favorite characters to suddenly change their appearance and become another personality or another gender, which will cause them to have a huge psychological gap.
It is only after many adaptations that the audience begins to feel subtle boredom, and this time is suitable for large-scale adaptations, or to create a protagonist with another character, or to change the plot, or to play with special shapes, or even to adapt the gender and age of the characters.
When on Earth. "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was first adapted and filmed many times in Hong Kong and Duwan Bay, and many versions were filmed; Then Xu Lao Wei changed the character of "Dongfang Undefeated" out of whimsy, so he later appeared in the mother's version of "Female Dongfang Undefeated", and launched a sadomasochistic relationship with Linghu Chong, and the audience did not object, but was happy to see and hear, and even many viewers spoke on the Internet saying that they supported the combination of "Linghu Chong" and "Dongfang Undefeated".
This is an evolutionary process that requires a long period of accumulation and continuous innovation. The effect can only be achieved after the most relieving.
But now, Stephen Zhao can only shoot "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
Besides. Now that entertainment is constantly overflowing, many viewers are starting to get bored with large-scale TV series adaptations, thinking that this type of TV series is false, bloody, and impetuous, but they have picked up those feature films in the past, thinking that feature films are full of sincerity. It's a great pleasure to watch.
What does this mean?
If you are an understanding person, you should know the Tao, which shows that feature films are always the mainstream.
What's the feature? Tell the story seriously, don't cheat, don't pretend to be profound, and don't deliberately play fancy films are feature films!
The TV series version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu". The actor of "Linghu Chong" is still Luo Ye, and Stephen Zhao plans to test the water with the TV series first to see how the audience accepts and recognizes Luo Ye's version of "Linghu Chong".
If the effect is ideal, the two movies "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Dugu Nine Swords" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated" will let Luo Ye play the role.
The effect is not ideal, and Zhao Xingchi can only say sorry to Luo Ye.
"Ren Yingying" is played by Lin Yuner, and "Blue Phoenix" is played by An Xuaner, which was set by Stephen Zhao early on. On the contrary, the role of "Yue Lingshan" took a lot of effort from Stephen Zhao. The movie version of "Yue Lingshan" is starred by Tang Xinya, but the TV series version can't be used like this, no matter how Tang Xinya is said because "Huang Rong" is already a super popular idol star, playing a supporting role is too big and useless.
In addition, the movie version of "Yue Lingshan" has high acting requirements, and the TV series version of "Yue Lingshan" almost doesn't matter if her acting skills are almost, the key is to have the cuteness of a girl.
After the last, Zhao Xiaogang recommended someone to him: Lu Huilan.
Lu Huilan is a native of Nanyun Province, born in 81, a student of the 97th class of the Department of Drama and Performance, when she was only 16 years old, and starred in the heroine of a TV series in her second year of enrollment. Since then, until graduating from the drama in 01, Lu Huilan has starred in many TV series and movies, both as a heroine and as a supporting actress, but the influence is not great.
Until now, Lu Huilan is just a second-tier actress, and she has no roles that she can handle, and her popularity is not high, most people can only say that they have an impression of her, but not deeply.
The reason why Stephen Zhao agreed to let Lu Huilan, who is a little older, play "Yue Lingshan" is because Lu Huilan has a baby face, although she is old, she has a small round face, round eyes, and a very cute smile, and she is a sixteen-year-old water spirit girl; The other is because Lu Huilan signed a five-year long-term contract with Red Star Media, and she is her own person.
After the press conference, Stephen Zhao took the crew to Hengdian to film.
It was also at this time that the activity of "Wishing for the Adaptation of the Decisive Battle of the Forbidden City" on the crooked literature network came to a successful conclusion, and the final result was the adaptation!
There should be no doubt about this result, and there will be no other results, the only thing that surprised Crooked Literature Network, and even Stephen Zhao himself, was that the number of readers who voted for the wish exceeded one million in one day! A wishing ticket costs one dollar, and the writers' fund jointly established by Crooked Literature Network and Stephen Zhao suddenly has assets of more than one million yuan.
"Resolutely support Master Xing to write the novel of the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City!"
"It's too hard to chase more, so I support Xing Ye to write one more."
""The Condor Heroes" is not enjoyable to watch, and Xing Ye will open another one."
"Good books must be supported. Let's double open! ”
"Star Lord God, my mortals only tremble! So, Master Xing, double open! ”
……
As for the negative votes, there were also votes, and there were quite a few of them. More than 100,000 copies!
There are all kinds of reasons for opposition, but the reason for most people is: "Master Xing, it's making movies again, writing novels, and managing a company, and now you plan to open it double?" Octopus? Save some energy and finish writing "The Condor Heroes"! ”
However, whether it is opposition or support, no one doubts that Stephen Zhao cannot write "The Battle of the Top of the Forbidden City" as a classic. It can also be seen from this that after the ghostwriting door incident. No one doubts Stephen Zhao's literary creation strength anymore, no matter what Stephen Zhao wants to write, the discussion will always only be about how the plot develops and who he likes in the novel.
As for the fact that the style of "The Battle of the Top of the Forbidden City" is completely different from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", everyone automatically ignores it.
Stephen Zhao became a poem in seven steps, created on the spot, and was only eight buckets high, is there anything strange about many writing styles?
An Internet rookie weakly asked this question, but Zhao Xingchi came forward to explain. The readers automatically explained for Zhao Xingchi, and took turns to point out the rookie and said: "Xing Ye is a genius." My generation of mortals can only tremble, so read your book obediently, don't fix these useless moths! ”
"I know that the new book will be created later, hang up!" Stephen Zhao hung up the call from the crooked literature network and lay on his back on the bamboo chair again. Hide in the shade of a tree.
Not far away, the crew of the TV series "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is filming nervously.
Stephen Zhao looked over there for a while, and saw that there was nothing wrong, so he turned his head and said to the new assistant Lin Meijia standing next to him, "Go and get my notebook." ”
Lin Meijia answered yes and hurriedly ran to the nanny's car to get the laptop.
Qian Minli is busy with the overseas promotion of several martial arts novels. Therefore, from time to time, he incarnated as a trapeze, either flying to the country of Wa or the country of sticks, or other Asian countries, to attend various business activities on behalf of Stephen Zhao. Therefore, Qian Minli assigned a newly recruited assistant to Zhao Xingchi and asked her to assist Zhao Xingchi.
Lin Meijia, who graduated from Hui'an Provincial University of Science and Technology, has outstanding performance, strong work ability, and is very well-behaved, and is not like other young and beautiful female employees in the company who are crazy about Zhao Xingchi, and discharges Zhao Xingchi from time to time, and is naturally favored by Qian Minli.
Qian Minli's other thought is very simple, let Lin Meijia act as her door god, so as not to be taken advantage of by other women when she is away.
Or go back to the previous sentence, believe in people's character, it is better to believe that sows will go up trees.
For men, no matter how he begs Yanagishita, it is better to guard against cheating when he should cheat.
Moreover, Lin Meijia herself is young and beautiful, and I believe that it will make many careful women ashamed of themselves and retreat.
Of course, Stephen Zhao understood Qian Minli's thoughts, but he didn't say anything.
However, whether it is Stephen Zhao or Qian Minli, they can't imagine that Lin Meijia is actually a loyal fan of Stephen Zhao, and even infatuated with him because of it. Even the reason why she came to work in Red Star Media Company, Lin Meijia was close to his idea, but she has a high IQ and knows how to hide herself, so no one has noticed it until now, and even Qian Minli, who has a strong woman's intuition, has been deceived by her.
"Boss, are you planning to write a new book now?" Lin Meijia watched Stephen Zhao turn on the computer like a curious baby, and then logged in to the author area of the crooked literature network.
Stephen Zhao glanced at her with a smile, and while starting to create a new work, he nodded and replied: "Yes, at the strong request of the majority of readers, I am going to open a new book again." ”
Lin Meijia smiled sweetly: "The boss's new book is believed to be another classic, I am really lucky to be able to see it." As soon as she finished speaking, the name of the new book that appeared on the computer screen caught her eye.
The legend of Lu Xiaofeng! (To be continued......)
