Chapter 16 Boot up
What are the highlights of martial arts film and television dramas?
Of course, it is the whimsical martial arts design, as well as the chic of the wanton sword!
Righteous and chivalrous!
The protagonist of Destiny, he was born with a bunch of bad guys waiting for him to clean up...
The protagonist can kill people at will, and the protagonist's stepfather can kill people at will - just become a monk!
Big brother, have you considered the opinion of the victim?
It's too violent!
We rarely see descriptions of heroes living their daily lives in martial arts, and even if they do, they simply lack details, and there are few descriptions of the world of ordinary people. Because the heroes were created to upgrade and fight monsters according to the shortcuts designed by the author, they have no time to live an ordinary life.
This makes the heroes seem to be obviously not the same species as the rest of the people even in their martial arts world, they have completely different success models and strange life paths, which are untouchable to mortals.
It's a bit like a Draconian...
In short, violent fights are the biggest attraction of martial arts film and television dramas!
Listening to Bai Xiaofei's words now, it seems that "Wulin Gaiden" has no fight plot at all?
"...The idea of "Wulin Gaiden" probably came to me when I was in high school, and I watched a bunch of martial arts at that time, although I thought they were all very good, but there was one thing that always bothered me, what do you say the daily life of these heroes is like?"
"Does a hero have to be a hero with high martial arts? I don't want to, so the hero of Guanzhong in "Wulin Gaiden" is a weak scholar! ”
"A man who does the world chivalrously. will definitely hold high the banner of "doing the right thing for heaven" and respond to it on the rivers and lakes. But have you ever thought about it, if there is such a person, then what else do you need the police to do? ”
"I used to like characters like 'Chu Liuxiang' very much, but then I felt that it was wrong, just steal something and grab something to give away, is it called chivalry? The pernicious effects it has had are indelible. The social order is chaotic and the social atmosphere is bad. The trust between people is gone in an instant! If these are the so-called justice, I would rather not shoot! ”
"Everyone is so lawless, why do you want the law?"
"Wulin Gaiden" is to "show the people's own rivers and lakes". In this Jianghu, people no longer praise "doing the right thing for heaven" and no longer sing the praises of "robbing the rich and helping the poor". Some are just a celebration of the truth, goodness and beauty of the world, a nod to interpersonal relationships, and the simplest greetings in life. ”
"The background I set, its time is set in the Ming Dynasty, and the location is set in a place called Seven Heroes Town in Guanzhong. In fact, this town of Seven Heroes is a paradise that I have made up of my imagination, because in the Ming Dynasty, an era of unprecedented absolutism, such a place did not exist! The residents of Qixia Town are still optimistic about life, the folk customs are simple, and there is not even a single street fight for half a year. The local magistrate is also honest and loves the people. Never take anything from the people for your own sake. The two catchers were enthusiastic and complained all day long that "I haven't even solved a case in a year". ”
In fact, the concept of modern society and the traditional chivalrous spirit are inevitably in conflict! The Seven Heroes Town in "Wulin Gaiden" actually represents modern society..."
"Is it a satire of the past?"
“… It can be understood this way. ”
This is also the reason why Xiaobai thinks that "Wulin Gaiden" can be popular.
Iconoclasm will be appreciated no matter what the era!
……
Next, the reporters began to ask questions about the leading actors in turn.
"Mr. Zhao, this is the second time you have cooperated with Director Bai Xiaofei, right? It's also your first time taking on a sitcom, what kind of role will you bring to us this time? ”
Zhao Yan is an old man, and this kind of question comes easily: "This script is so exciting, I can't put it down when I get it!" The character I want to play is particularly interesting, a thief who is tired of the struggle between the rivers and lakes, and has a lot of laughs, I like this role very much. ”
"Tang Xiaoyu, this is also the second time you have cooperated with Director Bai Xiaofei, can you say why he chose you?"
Of course, it's because the image is suitable, but will it be because of PY trading?
Tang Xiaoyu thought for a while before replying: "I think it may be because my image is more suitable, the director said that my character is a widow in her thirties..."
"Gulnazar, I heard that you didn't participate in the audition, and you were directly appointed by the director?"
"Yes, that time it was the director who came to the Chinese opera to promote..."
"Dong Jian, this is the first time you have appeared in a TV series, what are your considerations for deciding to act?"
“… It was I who begged the director to let him work with me once, and then he took out the stuff at the bottom of the box..."
"Pressing the bottom of the box?"
"yes, didn't the director say that? This "Wulin Gaiden" is the sealed work of his TV series, and he will never make TV series again in the future! ”
Xiao Dong looked at the reporters curiously.
The media in the audience were silent at first, and then collectively erupted: "Director, is it true?" You won't be making TV series in the future? ”
“… I shouldn't have filmed it anymore, the creation of TV series is too time-consuming and energy-consuming, "Wulin Gaiden" just polished the script, I used it for several years, and I don't think I will necessarily have the time and energy to make a TV series in the future..."
It's true, the shooting cycle of a TV series is much higher than that of a movie!
"Director Bai is very optimistic about this drama?"
"Of course, if I don't like it, I won't shoot it at all!"
"Are there any expectations for the ratings?"
“… This, I don't dare to say anything, sitcoms have always been a kind of TV series that I like to see, I think I can at least pass 3! ”
Xiaobai is not modest, this kind of propaganda is to be a little high-profile, otherwise it will give people a feeling of lack of confidence.
The TV series has more than 3 ratings, which is already remarkable!
After all, it is the Internet era, and most of the people who contribute to the ratings are uncles and aunts, so the ratings of suspension dramas and dog blood dramas are very high!
Last year's runner-up in the ratings was "The Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Full That Year", and the highest rating was only 2.73, but it was a two-channel simulcast, and the total broke 4!
But that's a mother, the first in the domestic ratings!
As for the champion, that's "In the Name of the People", which is hard to find...
After the reporters bombarded Bai Xiaofei, the press conference soon entered Dong Jian's time.
Almost all the questions were focused on him, and Tang Xiaoyu and Zhao Yan only occasionally had one or two questions thrown over.
Yin Zheng is more sad, he is regarded as a transparent person, he also knows that it will be like this, he is not too disappointed, but it looks relatively fresh, and he looks at it happily on the side.
……
The boot-up ceremony was not long, and it didn't take long for the host's promotional question time to end.
It was close to noon, and after the press conference, the members of the crew found a nearby hotel.
Xiaobai raised his glass and said with a smile: "Everyone, the start-up conference has been successfully completed, and the next thing is the hard shooting, let's try to shoot it in the afternoon, and it will officially start tomorrow!" Drink less, don't affect the shooting later! ”
"Got it!"
