Chapter 80: The Biggest Opponent!

"Hello audience, welcome to today's view, entertainment and watching, today's program invited a crew, welcome to the crew of "Xin Liao Zhai".

Entertainment Lianliankan watched the main program of Phoenix Satellite TV, some well-known movies or TV series were launched, and they would be promoted on this program, and at the same time, Phoenix Satellite TV, as one of the three David TV in China, is naturally wealthy, and the ratings of Entertainment Lianliankan as the main program are naturally not low, and it can be said that it is one of the top variety shows in China.

Originally, "New Journey to the West" was going to be released when it was launched, but it was caught in the Black Sea, and Yu Qiyuan and Su Shichen's attitude was to break the boat, and they didn't appear on any programs for closed filming, so they missed it.

"This is Zhang Ruo, the big director of the crew of "New Liao Zhai", Director Zhang has anything to say to the audience for this remake of "Liao Zhai"?"

"Strange Tales from Liao Zhai" is a collection of short stories written by Pu Songling, a famous novelist in the Qing Dynasty of China, with a total of 491 articles. The subject matter is wide, the content is rich, the storyline twists and turns, the layout is exquisite, and the stories are believed to be familiar to the vast majority of people, such as "Quzhou Three Monsters", "Xiaocui", "Yan Luoyan", "Stealing Peach", "Dong Sheng" and so on. ”

"There are too many classic stories in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", I won't go into detail here"

"And the artistic achievements of the original work are very high, and they have successfully created many artistic images, flesh and blood, just like the fox girl Xiaocui, Xi Fangping, who went to the underworld to redress his father's grievances, and has the magic Liliang to punish corrupt officials.

"Strange Tales from Liaozhai" can be said to be one of the most famous ghost novels in China, although it has been filmed as a movie many times, but there has never been a TV series, which has to be said to be a pity."

"Maybe this is also related to the length of the original work, 491 articles, and the length of each article is very short, but the goal of our crew this time is to work hard to shoot a classic that belongs to the TV series version of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai". Zhang Ruo was in high spirits.

"Director Zhang, you said just now, "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" is a lot of length and very short, how do you overcome this problem and bring classics to the audience"

The reason why this show is classic is not only because you can invite big-name star directors, but also because the host, the host of Entertainment Lianliankan is not a nymphomaniac and blindly stinky feet, the level of questions is very high, very valuable, and you can often ask some expected questions for the audience.

For example, it's like this question, this question is not asked by the average host, because it's a little sharp, and it tastes like a slap in the face, and the subtext is that you just said that "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" is long and short, and it is not easy to adapt, why can you shoot a classic.

"I'm going to make this remake, shoot "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" into a series, start shooting five stories as the first part, eight to fifteen episodes of each story, of course, I will select the most famous stories in the original book to start the remake, the screenwriters in the crew initially locked their eyes on the five stories of "Nie Xiaoqian", "Painted Skin", "Xi Fangping", "Ying Ning", "Lu Judgment", of course, this may not be the final choice, but there is not much difference."

"It is impossible for a TV series to shoot all the nearly 500 pieces of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", so our method is the most secure, although the story in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" is short, but under the expansion of the screenwriter, it is very appropriate to complete one episode from eight to fifteen episodes, and it is expected that the first fifty episodes, and our crew, whether it is an actor or a screenwriter, is an elite, so I am confident that the decision to shoot is a classic." Zhang Ruo is categorical, and his words are very organized, showing that he is not blindly confident.

"So what are Director Zhang's goals for this shooting?"

"Naturally, it is the TV drama ratings champion of the year." Zhang Ruo's domineering leaked.

"Will Director Zhang feel pressure on the "New Journey to the West" that director Yu Qiyuan is filming," the host of Entertainment Lianlian asked.

"There must be pressure, after all, "New Journey to the West" is the highlight of CCTV, and director Yu Qiyuan is also a very good director, but I am confident that "New Liaozhai" can become the best TV series of the year."

……

Another big drama is coming, which is also a remake of a famous work, and it is also a remake of a well-known director.

"Journey to the West" and "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" are both famous works of ancient ghosts and gods, although "Journey to the West" is known as the four famous novels, but when it comes to popularity, "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" is not much worse than "Journey to the West".

After all, Xiaocui, Xiaoqian and other characters have been well-known to everyone through movies.

In terms of director, Yu Qiyuan is a great director in Huaxia, and Zhang Ruo's sentence has been quoted by most newspapers and magazines - "But I am confident that "Xin Liao Zhai" can become the best TV series of the year"

"The big drama is coming, please be careful"

An article released by Movie Weekend -

[The opening ceremony of "New Journey to the West" has attracted a large trend, because this is the highlight of CCTV, and there is no big drama to compete with in the same year, so even if the crew of "New Journey to the West" has any problems, the editor believes that "New Journey to the West" can become the best TV series of the year, and as for surpassing the old version of "Journey to the West", the editor has a neutral attitude.

With the support of director Yu Qiyuan and CCTV, as well as the joining of various first-class actors, these are not fake, even if there are problems with the script, but these alone are enough to support a best TV series of the year.

But now that "New Liaozhai" is coming, is "New Journey to the West" capable of stopping it? ]

"Daily Entertainment" published such an article in this newspaper.

"Zhang Ruo PK Yu Qiyuan, the Great War is Fierce"

[In the first half of next year, you don't have to worry about no good programs, after director Yu Qiyuan announced the remake of "Journey to the West" in a high-profile manner, the famous director Zhang Ruo once again came to the news of the remake of "Liao Zhai"!!

And director Zhang Ruo cleverly chose the method of excerpts, the five stories in the excerpts are all relatively well-known, "New Liao Zhai" PK "New Journey to the West" who wins and who loses, and it is worth mentioning that "New Liao Zhai" has also formed a five-person screenwriter team, and it is worth mentioning that four of these five people are the four screenwriters of Shao Feng who quit the crew of "New Journey to the West". ]

These articles are relatively neutral, and most of the articles are biased towards the side of "Xin Liao Zhai".

For example, "Entertainment Knows Early", an entertainment newspaper that publishes such an article-

"The Advantages of Detailed Discussion"

[What are the advantages of "New Journey to the West"?]

The editor will give you a detailed count: First, this drama is a big production ordered by CCTV, and it is not comparable to ordinary TV dramas in terms of support and publicity.

But this is nothing compared to the crew of "New Liao Zhai", because it is Mango Satellite TV that invested in the filming of "Xin Liao Zhai", although Mango Satellite TV is not as good as CCTV, but it is very popular with the post-80s and post-90s, and it is generally not bad, so this advantage of "New Journey to the West" is removed.

The second "New Journey to the West" actors have very strong plastic surgery, the veteran TV emperor Huang Sanqian, as well as Asia's strongest newcomer Li Lishu, idol superstar Qiu Yeming, even if it is the actor who plays the white dragon horse, Wang Zimo, the son of the actor, is a little shabby in terms of a strong lineup, this is a big truck of big names.

But is the crew of "New Liaozhai" bad? Although it has not been officially announced that those actors will join, Zhang Ruo has already announced that the protagonists of the five stories will invite five TV emperors or actors, which means that the crew of "New Liao Zhai" has also overpowered "New Journey to the West" in the lineup.

The third advantage of "New Journey to the West" is that the director is a powerful faction, but this point is naturally removed, Director Yu Qiyuan is a powerful faction, but Director Zhang Ruo is not a mixed meal.

To sum up, all the advantages of "New Journey to the West" are gone in front of "New Liao Zhai", but "New Liao Zhai" has an advantage over "New Journey to the West", that is, Director Zhang Ruo did not make a confused arrangement, but Director Yu Qiyuan made a wrong move, so this newspaper predicts that "New Journey to the West" and "New Liao Zhai" will lose in the PK!! ]

The wrong move for Yu Qiyuan mentioned in the report of "Entertainment Already Knows" should be to hire Su Shichen as the screenwriter of "New Journey to the West".

"The Story That Must Be Told Between Zhang Ruo and Yu Qiyuan" Dahe Daily has attracted a lot of readers with such a sensational title, in fact, the content is-

[Zhang Ruo and Yu Qiyuan are both great directors in our Huaxia, these two directors have a lot in common, such as they are both in their fifties, and for example, both directors have made movies and TV series, and they have won the highest awards in the film and TV series industry.

Therefore, in terms of strength, it can be said that the two directors are comparable, with 50 episodes of "New Liao Zhai" and more than 60 episodes of "New Journey to the West", according to the smoothness of production, the two TV series should collide together.

is also usually supposed to be a fierce showdown, but because director Yu Qiyuan was in a hurry, he pulled the prelude to this duel in advance, which is sad and sad. ]

This is not the most excessive, some newspapers and periodicals are the most excessive by stepping on "New Journey to the West" to praise "Xin Liao Zhai", and I don't know if this is the "Xin Liao Zhai" crew arranged haode.

It's like a report published in the "Wisdom Daily" -

"There is no comparison with completely! 》

[Today, the editor saw a lot of reports comparing "New Journey to the West" with "New Liaozhai", and some media also said that the collision between the two dramas will definitely be very exciting, what I want to ask is that there will be a fierce collision between an aircraft carrier and a small sailing ship? ]

No, of course not, an aircraft carrier collides with a boat, and the boat will definitely sink to the bottom of the sea, but I have no impression of the aircraft carrier at all, "New Liaozhai" is an aircraft carrier and "New Journey to the West" is a small boat, and the two dramas will be broadcast at the same time next year, and there will definitely be no fierce collision, because "New Journey to the West" will sink to the bottom of the sea as soon as it meets "New Liaozhai"!! ]

This kind of media report really seems to be as if "New Liao Zhai" is really ironclad in the ratings of "New Journey to the West", and countless newspapers and periodicals have frantically reprinted such articles.

Even the crew of "Xin Liao Zhai" looked confident when interviewed.

One of the five leading actors in "Xin Liao Zhai" said in an interview with reporters, ""Xin Liao Zhai" can definitely win the annual ratings championship, as for the works directed by Yu Qiyuan, I can only say that I am sorry to have met "Xin Liao Zhai", otherwise it will definitely be the annual ratings champion, but now the championship has been won by us. ”

One of the five leading actresses, I heard that she was the candidate to play Xiaoqian, and in the face of reporters' questions, she also implicitly expressed her opinion: "Although "New Liao Zhai" is connected by five stories, it may not be as coherent as "New Journey to the West", but under the superb filming of director Zhang Ruo and the joining of all big names, I am confident that I can surpass "New Journey to the West" to become the best TV series of the year." ”

Of course, the most intense in the interview is to lose to the screenwriter Shao Feng, Shao Feng said without estimating in front of the camera, "How can "New Journey to the West" be compared with "New Liao Zhai", I can already anticipate a script written by a layman in a month, and the TV series shot according to this script must be scattered, whether the audience can understand it or not is a question, not to mention what the best TV series of the year will be, in the script, it can be expected that "New Liao Zhai" will beat "New Journey to the West"

Originally, "New Journey to the West" had fallen into the Black Sea due to the events of the last boot ceremony, but after these two months, the Black Sea has slowly precipitated and not many people remember, but this time it has been lifted.

When it comes to "New Liao Zhai", most people will compare "New Journey to the West" with it, but most of the media will think that "New Journey to the West" will be crushed by "New Liao Zhai".

The prestige of "New Journey to the West" has fallen to the bottom again, but the crew of "New Journey to the West" has not come out to meet or be interviewed at all, and they are still filming on their own.
