Hui Wenqiang's death is a rare tragic ending in Hong Kong since the start of television.

In terms of the aesthetics of the Chinese people, the happy ending is undoubtedly the most popular. This is probably because the Chinese people have been plagued by disasters and disasters since ancient times, so they yearn for reunion more and cherish their feelings. Since it is difficult to achieve this in real life, fiction must also fiction a happy ending.

And Xu Wenqiang's death made the TV series "Shanghai Tang" end in tragedy, which was completely unexpected. Everyone thought that Feng Jingyao was dead, Nie Renwang was dead, and Ding Li and Xu Wenqiang had become a new generation of Shanghi tycoons. The next step should be to find Feng Chengcheng and live a happy life.

Unexpectedly, when Xu Wenqiang set off to France to find Feng Chengcheng, he was shot to death as soon as he went out. At that moment, the audience in Hong Kong who sat in front of the TV to watch "Shanghai Tang" was dumbfounded. When they reacted, a barrage of scolding nearly knocked the roof over.

After the finale of "Shanghai Tang" was broadcast, TVB's hotline was immediately blown up by angry Hong Kong citizens, and people strongly demanded that the TV station change the ending, otherwise they would no longer watch TVB TV dramas in the future.

The operators were busy for a while, and the staff present were also frightened by the surging enthusiastic audience, they had never seen the magic of a TV series so great.

It is not the first time that the audience is not satisfied with the ending of the TV series and calls the TV station to ask for a change in the ending of the TV series. In fact, because TV dramas at that time were broadcast and broadcast, TV stations were also very concerned about how the audience reacted, and similar information was collected every day. After that, it will be handed over to the TV series producer for discretion.

The producer will revise the plot of the TV series according to the audience's reaction. Addition and deletion of certain actors' scenes. There have even been cases of actors being kicked out of the game. Because too many viewers are dissatisfied with the image of a certain actor, they jointly boycott together, and even the TV station is difficult to withstand similar pressure.

……

Xu Guanwu didn't sleep until he finished watching the finale of "Shanghai Tang" last night, and Xu Guanwu was also very stunned when he watched Xu Wenqiang's death in "Shanghai Tang" for the first time, and he actually had some regrets about this ending, feeling that Xu Wenqiang didn't deserve to die.

But then I thought about it carefully, in fact, Xu Wenqiang's death was already doomed.

He was originally a top student at Yenching University. Later, he was imprisoned for three years because he led the student Yun Dong. Although the TV series did not write about how he spent his three years in prison, as long as he thought about it a little, he knew that for a proud son like Xu Wenqiang, being locked up in prison with those ruffian hooligans and murderers was undoubtedly like being in hell.

In prison, Xu Wenqiang saw things that were not mentioned in books, and saw through the essence of this world, which is who has the money to listen to whom. So after he was released from prison, he left Beiping and came to the top of the Ten Mile Ocean Field.

But Xu Wenqiang is still a hot-blooded young man with a higher education after all, maybe he thought he was dead, but when he found out that Feng Jingyao was colluding with the Japanese, the morality in his heart still prevailed over personal interests, so he desperately killed the Japanese female spy Kako Yamaguchi, and offended his boss Feng Jingyao and attracted the hunt.

Xu Wenqiang is brave and strategic. Affectionate and righteous, he dared to break into the bandits' lair single-handedly to snatch back the copy of the movie. He also dared to negotiate with the foreigners on loan, and it was his courage that allowed him to gain a firm foothold in Shanghai. And he first borrowed Ah Bing's hand to get rid of Boss Li, and then killed Ah Bing himself, not only avenging Boss Li but also accepting his business, and quickly became the leader of a small gang in Shanghai.

He knew that Feng Chengcheng loved him, and he also knew that she was the daughter of Shanghai tycoon Feng Jingyao, and once he married her, he would immediately soar, but he turned Feng Chengcheng away several times. Because he knew that Feng Chengcheng was a very pure girl, he didn't want to let himself defile her. He only lived in Ding Li's house for one night on the first day of Shanghi, and he became a good brother in trouble with him, even if Ding Li was brave and often did wrong things, but he still forgave him again and again, and taught him a lot of things.

With such an outstanding character, everyone is drunk and I am sober, and then I am in this ruthless and unrighteous place, it is naturally difficult to have a place. Only ruthless heroes like Feng Jingyao, Nie Renwang, and Ding Li can survive in Shanghai.

……

When she got up early for dinner, Zhao Yazhi opened the newspaper, "Wow, the newspapers are talking about the ending of "Shanghai Tang". ”

"Oh?! How so? Xu Guanwu asked curiously.

It said that Xu Wenqiang's death caused a sensation in Hong Kong. The TVB hotline was blown up last night, and many people protested that Xu Wenqiang should not be killed, and strongly demanded that TVB change the ending. Zhao Yazhi said.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "It's impossible to change the ending, it's good that Xu Wenqiang is dead in this play, otherwise if it is a happy ending, then the style of this drama will be gone." ”

"I also think it's a pity that Wen Qiang died, but if he really has to go to France to find Cheng Cheng, I don't think Cheng Cheng will be with him." Zhao Yazhi thought for a while and said, "Because the love and hate between the two are too entangled." Feng Chengcheng loves her father very much, although she also knows that he has done all kinds of bad things, but for her, he is a good father who loves her and loves her. So even if she loves Wenqiang, it will be difficult for her to overcome this point and get back together with him after the last day. ”

"That's right." Xu Guanwu nodded, "So it's better that Xu Wenqiang is dead, so that the entire world will be pure." Ding Li continued to be his Shanghai tycoon, and Feng Chengcheng continued to heal in France......"

"What about the audience's opinions?" Zhao Yazhi asked suspiciously.

"It doesn't matter, the audience's passion comes and goes quickly, and when the next TV series is broadcast, people will forget about Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"Yes, right and wrong, success or failure turn empty, and the audience will always like the new and hate the old." Zhao Yazhi sighed and said, "By the way, the recruit producer said that if I want." Start a new show for me right away. ”

"Forget it. Never mind. Didn't we already say before, two TV series a year, no more. Xu Guanwu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Besides, you still have Xiao Simo now, and you can't focus on work, you should accompany our father and son more when you have time, right?!" ”

Xiao Simo was drinking milk quietly on the side, and couldn't help nodding frequently when he heard his father ask.

"See? My son also wants you to spend more time with him. Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Besides, as the boss, don't always grab food with the staff, give the newcomers a little more chance, otherwise when will they come out." ”

"Okay, I'll go back and explain it to the recruiting producer." Zhao Yazhi saw that Xu Guanwu was opposed, so she had no choice but to shake her head and say, "By the way, I heard that Qingxia's new film is about to start filming, right?" ”

"Yes, "Love in a Fallen City". One of Ms. Zhang Ailing's representative works was a sensation back then. Xu Guanwu smiled and said. For this drama, we also invested a lot this time. ”

"Alas, I really envy her that she can come out and make a movie." Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but say enviously.

"What's there to envy about this, weren't you also the well-deserved first heroine of Xu's Film Company in your early years." Xu Guanwu glanced at her and said, "I've won the box office championship for many years, which is enough for you to show off for a lifetime." ”

"What do you still say, saying that I am the first heroine of Xu's Film Company, but I am just a vase in the movie, and the scenes are all taken up by the eldest brother, third brother, and fourth brother, I have no more than 20 lines from the beginning to the end, and there are not many lines in the supporting role, how can I be regarded as a heroine?" Zhao Yazhi said angrily.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile when he heard it, it is true that in Xu's early ghost horse comedies, there is very little room for female characters to play, and most of them are just vases. Take Zhao Yazhi's "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" as an example, in a one-and-a-half-hour movie, she appeared in a total of no more than five minutes, and her lines were only a few very limited sentences, and there was not even a rich wife who stole the sunshine.

"So what do you mean, do you have to actually star in a movie?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"Yes, you can prepare a script for Qingxia, so why can't I do anything?" Zhao Yazhi asked angrily.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "Okay, okay, what movie do you want to act, tell me if you choose it another day, as long as it's not that kind of three-pole love movie, I won't stop it." That's all right, right? ”

"That's pretty much it." Zhao Yazhi nodded.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, it seems that he should be more low-key in the future, otherwise the two women will be in trouble sooner or later.

……

Xu Guanwu then returned to the company, and Liang Shuyi came before he could sit down.

"Stanley, a lot of viewers are calling right now and asking us to revise the ending of 'Shanghai Tang.'" Liang Shuyi reported, "We are under a lot of pressure now, in my opinion, it is better to follow the audience's opinions and modify the ending." ”

"No, this tragic ending is my approval." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "Only Xu Wenqiang's death can create the classic of "Shanghai Tang", otherwise it is just a good-looking drama of heroes competing for hegemony." ”

"But the audience is so angry that it's hard to control their emotions." Liang Shuyi said with a bitter face.

"What are you afraid of, the audience's emotions come and go quickly, don't mess with yourself now, and wait for two days. Isn't it the Gulong martial arts TV series "Parting Hook" starring Xie Xian, Huang Shuyi, etc. who took over "Shanghai Tang"? This TV series should get good ratings. When everyone goes to watch "Parting Hook", who will remember Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng again? Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

Liang Shuyi nodded, let out a sigh and smiled, "I don't remember such a simple truth, it's really damned, damned." I should have known that the audience likes the new and hates the old, as long as the new drama is good-looking, how can I care about other things. ”

"Yes, I also think that you are very poor today, is it because you didn't rest well last night, look at your face seems to be very bad." Xu Guanwu also smiled.

"Yes, after the broadcast of "Shanghai Tang" yesterday, the audience began to call the TV station, and the staff couldn't hold back and called me immediately, so I have been busy until now, and even the new version of the script for the finale of "Shanghai Tang" has been written." Liang Shuyi smiled.

"You've worked so hard." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Show me the script, what kind of adaptation are you going to make?" ”

"Our adaptation this time is that Xu Wenqiang went to France, but he never found Feng Chengcheng, while Ding Li continued to be his Shanghai tycoon." Liang Shuyi said with a smile, "It's inevitable that there will be a lot of things, we only delete all the scenes after Xu Wenqiang left the hotel, and then explain the plot in the form of subtitles, so that there is no need for actors to perform anymore, and we can also save a sum of costs." ”

"Hehe, this method is good, but this ending really doesn't need to be modified, and once it is modified, it becomes cliché." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"Yes, I also think that if the ending is not modified, the level of this drama will be higher. However, Xu Wenqiang died this time, so it is difficult for us to make a sequel. Liang Shuyi said with a smile. (To be continued......)
