Text Chapter 283, The Goddess of Immortality
TVB's approach is a bit of a piano to the cow.
Lei Weidong has no impression of Hong Kong actors in this era at all, and he can only recognize three people after a long time, namely Zheng Shaoqiu, a hero professional, Zhao Yazhi, the white lady, and Wang Mingquan, the wireless treasure of Zhentai.
And the roles of these three people have also been preliminarily decided. They are Zheng Shaoqiu as Xiang Shaolong, Wang Mingquan as Wu Tingfang, and Zhao Yazhi as Ji Yanran.
In addition to the actor of Tengyi, Lei Weidong looked at it for a long time as if he was Uncle Da, but this handsome appearance made Lei Weidong wonder why Uncle Da looked so decrepit in the future.
As for other people, they are just black-eyed, and there is no way to be a post-80s generation, the Hong Kong actresses that everyone is familiar with only debuted in the eighties and nineties, such as Xiaoqian, Doudou, Honggu, Zhang Junzhu, Aunt Thirteen, Zixia Fairy and others, it is estimated that there is no familiarity with TV stars in the 70s except for Bai Niangniang.
"Uncle Tianlin! Actually, I don't have much opinion on who will star in that role, I just want to know how to change Xun Qin Ji this time, can you explain it to me! Seeing that he couldn't put forward any useful opinions on the actors, Lei Weidong put his interest in the script.
"Mr. Lei! I was just about to mention this to you! Hearing Lei Weidong's question, Wang Tianlin immediately replied: "There are too many characters in Xun Qin Ji, I am going to screen it and merge some unimportant characters!" Just leave the main character and you're good to go! ”
"Is there a script?"
"Not yet! But the general idea is there! For example, I am going to merge the two characters of Qin Qing and Ji Yanran. Wang Tianlin told the outline of his consideration for filming Xun Qinji.
Listening to Wang Tianlin's narration, Lei Weidong felt that there was a great similarity with the Gu Tianle version of Xun Qin Ji that he had seen in his previous life.
How to say it, although Wang Tianlin's version of Xiang Shaolong is still from a special forces and not from Louis Koo's so-called Flying Tigers, he involuntarily added topics such as the common grievances of wealthy families in Hong Kong TV dramas and jealousy between women in some plots.
There is also the character after the merger of Ji Yanran and Qin Qing, although it is called Ji Yanran, but it feels similar to Qin Qing in Gu Tianle's play, not from the Yue royal family, but after the family of the minister of Qin.
The roles of Zhao and Zhao Ya were also merged, and Zhao Zhi, Tian sisters, Li Yanyan and other women were directly abandoned.
As for the martial arts fights and war scenes inside, it can be saved, and the rationality of the plot is not considered.
Listening to this, Lei Weidong had to sigh at the strength of historical inertia, and the fact that the innovation degree in Hong Kong is too poor, and the storyline that can be thought of in the seventies and eighties is still the same in the new century, and there is not much change at all.
The usual space Louis Koo's version of Xun Qin Ji was filmed in 2000, and the setting of the storyline in it could have been set almost 20 years ago, so it is no wonder that in the 21st century, both film and television in Hong Kong have plummeted.
"Mr. Lei! What do you think! Looking at where Lei Weidong was, he shook his head a little. Wang Tianlin hurriedly asked, for fear that Lei Weidong would be dissatisfied somewhere.
"It's easy! Uncle Tianlin, I won't talk about the merger of characters! This can promote the development of the plot faster, but why should there be content of Wu Tingfang being jealous and running away from home.
You must know that it was the Warring States Period 2000 years ago, and it was a polygamous society at all, just like what I wrote in my book, Wu Tingfang was born in a large family and has long been accustomed to such a scene, if it was jealous, it would have been too fake, and the war part was too little described? ”
In the previous life Gu Tianle version, everyone is okay with deleting all the erotic parts and deleting some unimportant characters, but what people can't stand is the merger of some important characters, you must know that many characters have completely different personalities.
And the ability of Xiang Shaolong to be an invincible commander on the battlefield is even more unacceptable, the Warring States Period is the era of famous generals, Bai Qi, Lian Po, Li Mu, Wang Jian The four famous generals are even more famous, and the description of war is also the place where Xun Qin Ji is different from other martial arts.
The deletion of the war part can be said to have reduced the classics by at least half, and many of the essences were not filmed.
"Lei Shao! I can't help it! Wang Tianlin said with a bitter face:
"Wu Tingfang's drama can be said to be concentrated in the first quarter of the book, and there is basically no place to appear in the future, if I don't rewrite her running away from home, there is no way to add drama, Wang Mingquan is now a wireless pillar, it is a sister, and it is not good to shoot only one supporting role! As for the shooting of war scenes, Mr. Lei, do you think wireless can shoot good results? ”
This is indeed the case, hearing Wang Tianlin's explanation, Lei Weidong also understands why Gu Tianle's version has to be modified, this is all because "Xun Qin" is different from ordinary martial arts, there is no heroine who has appeared from beginning to end.
For example, Huang Rong in the Condor Shooting and Tie Xinlan in the peerless Shuangjiao are all important roles in promoting the development of the plot.
In "Looking for Qin", the female characters are constantly changing, and even Ji Yanran, who is known as the first heroine, does not appear very much.
Of course, if Xun Qin Ji is divided into several parts for filming, like foreign TV series, the problem can be solved, but the investment is too big, and Shao Yifu will definitely not agree.
It's better to acquire Li TV in the future and invest in filming by yourself, when the time comes, the search for Qin will be divided into three parts, the upper part will shoot the content of the Zhao Kingdom, the middle part will mainly shoot the content of the Qin Kingdom, and the second half will shoot the content of the war and Xiang Shaolong's escape.
Each filming of forty episodes can completely shoot all those classics, and it will not make people feel that the plot development is too slow and dragging.
"Uncle Tianlin, Xun Qin Ji will shoot according to your ideas! After all, you are an old-timer in the film and television industry, and I need to learn from you in many ways! It's just that I don't understand why Zheng Shaoqiu, Zhao Yazhi, and Wang Mingquan got together again, wasn't it enough to make trouble last time? ”
Now that he has thought it through, Lei Weidong will not embarrass Wang Tianlin and others, and directly hand over all the power, but for Zheng Shaoqiu, Zhao Yazhi, and Wang Mingquan, Lei Weidong still has some concerns.
And the starting point is the Heaven and Dragon Slayer, and the main competition is Zhang Wuji starring Zheng Shaoqiu. Among the two fans, Zheng Shaoqiu's belonging is a battleground.
Wang Mingquan fans feel that Zheng Shaoqiu prefers Zhao Min played by Wang Mingquan, and in the same way, Zhao Yazhi's fans feel that Zhou Zhiruo starring Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi is more suitable for blabla.
The final ending of this "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is that Zhao Min fell off the cliff and died, Wang Mingquan's fans strongly protested! So in order to appease fans, another version of the ending was filmed wirelessly.
