Chapter 32: The Bright Sword (I)
There was such a TV series in my last life, it was tight in budget, there were no big-name movie stars, the style of the drama was simple, and the lines were a little vulgar, but in 2005, it won the first place in the national TV drama ratings list with a rating of 10.2%.
It's called "Bright Sword".
In the previous life of countless red dramas, the entire budget of "Bright Sword" was only enough to shoot two episodes of some TV dramas in 2016, but from 2005 to before the dialect crossing, "Bright Sword" still swept away as soon as it came out.
Fang Yan wants to remake it into a movie, it is "Bright Sword".
The original work of "Bright Sword" is a novel of the same name written by Du Liang, the whole book is about two fingers thick, and some content can be deleted in the later part of the original text, from this point of view, "Bright Sword" is actually a very suitable movie script.
There are many reasons why Liangjian was not made into a movie in the previous life, and one of the most important reasons is that Li Youbin's version of Li Yunlong's image is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The reason for the poor performance of Huang Zhigang's remake of "Bright Sword" on the earth can be summed up in one sentence, Li Youbin plays Li Yunlong, and Huang Zhigang plays Li Youbin.
However, in Yunyao Continent, no one has watched "Bright Sword", so if the dialect shoots "Bright Sword", what the Yunyao Continent version of Li Yunlong looks like is completely described by the dialect.
Secondly, the dialect filming "Bright Sword" can take advantage of the wind of the miracle war celebration.
Whether it is the words of Old Man Bai and Wenren Yuwei, or the encounter of the snack goods, as well as the strength of the royal family to this celebration, it reflects one point from the side, that is, the people of the empire have gradually forgotten or even denied the original war.
At this time, if there is a full-bodied, positive-leaning Shadow appears, will the Empire be ignored?
The empire has not tried to guide public opinion before, and the royal family has spent a lot of money to invite a number of famous dance theater dancers from the mainland to perform the dance drama of the miracle war in various parts of the empire, but the effect is not ideal every time.
In fact, the reason is very simple, how big is the scope of the stage play? The huge scene of the war is definitely not something that a few people can perform on the stage, and it can't restore the tragedy of the war, the hardships of the soldiers and the desperate struggle for victory, can the drama be effective?
The empire is also well aware of these reasons, but still invests a lot of money in it every year, which shows that the empire is eager to control the direction of public opinion, even if it has the slightest influence on the people of the empire, the empire is willing to pay a big price to invest in it.
If Fang Yan can come up with a film that inspires the patriotic feelings of the people, with the three major academies as backers, the empire will only do one thing - promote this film to every town with a photo crystal.
It is even possible to gain the favor of the military because of this, and if the child of an imperial martyr makes a movie that has a great positive impact on the empire and the military, the military will definitely accept the dialect, so that in the future, it will be much easier for the dialect to make a movie with war scenes.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the dialect remake of "Bright Sword" is worth watching.
The dialect's positioning of the word worth seeing is at least a quarter of the actual effect of "Bright Sword" on the planet.
Don't think that a quarter is too little, there is no precedent for any movies and TV series in Yunyao Continent, and Yunyao people's ability to appreciate movies is almost 0.
The acting skills of those actors when the movie on earth was first born, any senior group performance in Hengdian in 2017 could turn him into slag, but when the movie first appeared, the theater was still full.
Of course, the movie here refers to the sound movie, and the actors of the silent movie have to give a thumbs up to anyone, and those are the real old drama bones.
Although the technology tree on the magic side of the Yunyao Continent is very high, the reaction to a thing that has never appeared and the earthlings will not be much worse, so the Yunyao version of "Bright Sword" does not need to be strict to completely copy the earth version, even if it can have a quarter of the dialect of the earth version, it is very satisfying.
"Bright Sword" on the earth, each character is very vivid, Li Yunlong, Xiuqin, monk, Duan Peng, Zhao Gang, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Chen Geng, Chu Yunfei, Zhang Dameow... Ahh
Fang Yan doesn't expect to be able to remake every role perfectly, this is not realistic, the actor industry in Yunyao Continent is not standardized, and there is no way to provide actors with acting skills in batches, Fang Yan can only consider giving up the portrayal of some characters.
For example, Duan Peng and the monk, among the two, you can completely focus on the monk, the monk is reckless, righteous, and loves to stare at the neck with big eyes, this one-way extreme character is actually not difficult to solve, and the same is true for Duan Peng.
Li Yunlong's two wives Xiuqin and Tian Yu can also bias the main lens to Xiuqin, Xiuqin's straightforwardness and decisiveness and the sentence "Li Yunlong, you fire" on the turf are the core points of his characters.
Some other roles can also be considered in this way, and there are three that are really difficult to choose and must be chosen, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Sun Desheng, the commander of the cavalry company.
Li Yunlong is a very, very complex character, an illiterate native and an old man, but he has an extraordinary military command ability and a two-skinned face that can resist and fight, sometimes a ruffian, sometimes serious, and the next second is full of swearing, and the dialect is really not sure that he can find a person who can play Li Yunlong well.
Of course, the performance here refers to the person who performs in line with the image of Li Yunlong in the heart of the dialect, and the Yunyao people who don't know much about Li Yunlong, even if the dialect says that he is portrayed as a handsome Confucian general, it is no problem at all.
But dialects can't do this.,This is the least respect for the same people.,If you want to do this, it's better to pull a few second and third orders to play "Covering the Sky".
The second is Zhao Gang, Zhao Political Commissar, the character of an intellectual, and he is also a resolute iron man, who can be integrated with the independent group, every time there is a vexatious plot of Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang's actor needs to have a strong ability to control the scene.
Finally, there is Sun Desheng, the commander of the cavalry company, in fact, many people don't even remember the full name of this person, but the scene when the cavalry company fought to the last man in the face of the siege of the devil several times over, I don't know how many people cried, that sentence "Cavalry company, charge!" It is also one of the three classic lines of Bright Sword.
By the way, the other two sentences are from Li Yunlong.
One sentence is "Second battalion commander, where the fuck are your Italian artillery?!" ”
And the phrase "You're a fucking genius!" ”
The role of Sun Desheng is the core of the dialect remake, and in the case of Li Yunlong's role is difficult to find, it is much easier to arouse the patriotic feelings of the imperial audience through Sun Desheng's final charge.
In my previous life, I don't know how many people who have read countless movies cried when they saw Lian Commander Sun charging alone, not to mention the people who had never seen the Xiyun Empire in a movie.
Because "Bright Sword" on Earth is a TV series, there are many paragraphal plots, and the dialect is going to be remade as a movie, so the script must also be deleted.
At the same time, "Bright Sword" also has a big killer, that is, its background music, whenever the passionate background music sounds, the audience's emotions are immediately mobilized, the theme song of Bright Sword and the background music dialect are still remembered, and when the time comes, I will ask President Mu if there is a way to find someone to restore it.
The movie decided to make has been decided, and the next thing is to go to Tiangongshe to talk about the personnel and shooting details.
ps: Guess who plays Li Yunlong and who plays Zhao Gang? Someone guessed correctly that a new chapter will be added on the day the answer is announced, and the answer will be announced within three days.
