Chapter 457: Old Wine in New Bottles

Not only do I have ideas, but I have a lot of ideas.

It's just that with Gu Bei's qualifications, it may not be easy to get this project.

"Director, tell me in detail!"

Ruan Ruolin had already guessed that Gu Bei would definitely be interested if he heard the news.

"Okay! I'll tell you about it. ”

This time I went to Xiangjiang ATV, CCTV was led by Deputy Director Hong Minsheng, and I had already communicated with ATV before I went, and the two sides were ready to cooperate and make a co-production.

The return of Xiangjiang has been irreversible, and businessmen like Qiu Degen naturally saw the form clearly and actively moved closer to the mainland.

In addition, the mainland has been advocating the strengthening of cultural exchanges between the two places.

Look, isn't this the general trend!

Therefore, this past is mainly to study the specific details of cooperation with ATV.

"Xiao Gu, if you really want to cooperate, you want to be a director, and it's basically useless to get the dominant power."

I don't want to take the lead!

Moreover, when it comes to being a director, Gu Bei has had little interest from the beginning.

When filming "Do You Know", if it weren't for the fact that no director was willing to take it, Gu Bei just wanted to be an assistant director at first and slowly save up qualifications.

In the end, it wasn't driven to the shelves!

"Director, as long as you can participate, I won't pick what to do!"

Ho!

It's a good mentality.

"The specific division of positions has not yet been finalized, and even what to shoot, there are still differences between the two sides."

Belch......

Nothing has been settled, what did you do in the past?

"On the way back, Deputy Director Hong, and some other comrades, we discussed it together, and everyone is still more inclined to make a martial arts movie."

Martial arts films can be regarded as the deepest impression of mainland audiences on Xiangjiang TV dramas.

Although the first to be introduced was "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia", and there are also classics such as "Shanghai Tang", the audience's favorite is undoubtedly the Jingu martial arts film.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Guangdong also introduced "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" this year, basically broadcasting a popular one.

It is normal for the leaders of Taiwan to want to make martial arts movies.

But......

"Director, I have a different idea."

"Tell me about it!"

Ruan Ruolin came to the crew this time, in addition to looking at Gu Bei's physical condition, he planned to ask Gu Bei if he had any different opinions.

"In terms of martial arts films, the audience has been very impressed by the few works we have introduced in recent years, and if you shoot it again...... What to shoot? Co-produce another "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"? Do you think the audience can accept Guo Jing and Huang Rong with different images? ”

Ruan Ruolin nodded: "That's true, it's not been a few years since it was introduced, and it's not interesting to shoot again, just say what you think." ”

"Director, I don't think we can just think about Jin Gu's martial arts, even if we want to make an action movie, we don't necessarily have to adapt it! We can't write one ourselves, and then pull ATV to shoot it together, when the time comes, the script is ours, and the crew is in charge...... Isn't it easy? ”

Write it yourself?

"Xiao Gu, are you going to ......?"

Gu Bei didn't hold it anymore: "I'll write!" ”

Hehe!

Ruan Ruolin smiled, she really hadn't thought about it before, CCTV would publish a script here.

Listening to Gu Bei say this, it's not impossible!

On the way back, the most intense discussion was what proportion of CCTV's participation could be if it was to cooperate.

Although ATV's response to the cooperation was very positive, this time in Xiangjiang, when the two sides discussed the details face-to-face, ATV still showed a sense of superiority intentionally or unintentionally.

This made Ruan Ruolin very uncomfortable, at that time, the other party not only wanted the director, screenwriter, cameraman, main actors, and even planned to control the entire crew.

To put it bluntly, it is to let CCTV give a hand, and people want to teach their mainland counterparts how to film.

The so-called cooperation, at best, is to go to the mainland to shoot and then use cheap labor from the mainland.

But if it is like what Gu Bei said, CCTV comes out with this script, even if the director still uses ATV's people, it is not impossible to get the dominant power.

"Do you have a bit of a idea now?"

"Yes!"

Hey!

is really a baby, always able to solve problems for leaders at critical moments.

This little comrade, not bad, not bad!

"Tell me about it."

"Director, do you know which one is the first Xiangjiang TV series we introduced here?"

Nonsense!

"The hero Huo Yuanjia, I also went to the film viewing party in Nanjing at that time."

"That's right!"

Gu Bei said with a smile and lit a cigarette casually.

"Wait! Xiao Gu, do you mean that you plan to remake this drama? But this ...... It's not like picking up people's teeth! ”

"Director, you listen to what I said, what I want to shoot is indeed this theme, but the protagonist is not Huo Yuanjia, but ......"

"Chen Zhen!?"

There is Chen Zhen.

Regarding Chen Zhen, there are indeed people in history, but they are not as good as they were in previous film and television dramas, at best they are just a little-known Jingwumen disciple.

And Chen Zhen in the previous film and television works is completely different from the real Chen Zhen, many film and television works portray Chen Zhen as Huo Yuanjia's most powerful apprentice, not only superb, but also resourceful, after Huo Yuanjia's death, avenged the master's grievances, a proper national hero.

In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of Jingwu, there were indeed three people surnamed Chen who played a decisive role, and it can basically be said that they are the prototypes of Chen Zhen in future film and television dramas.

One of them is Chen Yingshi, who is a veteran of the League in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, who went to Japan to study in his early years, and after returning to China, he was the liaison gang force of the League in Shanghai and Zhejiang.

Later, he achieved such a high position as the Shanghai Overseer, and Chang Kaishen was able to take charge of the Kuomintang in the future, and it was this Chen Yingshi who really bridged him with Sun Guofu.

The second is Chen Gongzhe, who is also a member of the Alliance, a fellow villager of Sun Guofu, one of the early "Four Masters of Jingwu", outstanding in martial arts, and for the sake of the Jingwu Association, he continued to donate money and scatter wealth, so that his family gradually declined.

It was also under his efforts that the Jingwu Association developed rapidly before the Anti-Japanese War, and established branches from Shanghai to Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macao, as well as Southeast Asia, the United States and other places, and was a social activist with both civil and military skills.

The third is Chen Tiesheng, who is also one of the "Four Masters of Jingwu", participated in the Nanshe in his early years, and also served as the editor of the Shanghai Jingwu Sports Association.

Later film and television dramas officially combined some of the personality traits of these three, plus some of the deeds of Huo Yuanjia's apprentice Liu Zhensheng, all of which were placed on Chen Zhen's body, so that there was a series of film and television images in the future.

Chen Zhen first appeared in film and television dramas, naturally the movie "Jingwumen" played by Bruce Lee, in this movie, Chen Zhen's role is set as Huo Yuanjia's fifth apprentice.

After Huo Yuanjia was killed by Xiao Ri, Chen Zhen frustrated the Hongkou Dojo and was wanted by the patrol officers.

After avenging his division, he was shot dead by Xiao Ri in front of Jingwu Gate.

At the end of the movie, the classic picture of Chen Zhen jumping up at the gate of the Jingwu Pavilion in the face of police bullets is unforgettable.

Since then, the role of Chen Zhen has been repeatedly made into movies and TV series.

In 1981, the predecessor of ATV, Xiangjiangli's TV station, filmed the TV series "Hero Huo Yuanjia", which also added the role of Chen Zhen, played by Liang Xiaolong.

Most of the plot is a simplified adaptation of Bruce Lee's "Jingwumen", after Chen Zhen frustrated the Hongkou Dojo, he was wanted by the patrol officers, and after avenging the master Huo Yuanjia who was killed by Xiaori, he was shot indiscriminately.

Later, Li's TV station filmed the TV series "Chen Zhen", in which Chen Zhen continued to be played by Liang Xiaolong, the plot described that Chen Zhen did not really die, it was the director who was moved by Chen Zhen's patriotism, and secretly let the police empty the gun, deceived Consul Xiaori and saved Chen Zhen.

Since then, Chen Zhen and Huo Dongjue, the son of Huo Yuanjia, have been incognito, and later, because of a series of events, they were finally able to return to Chen Zhen.

In the end, in order to save Huo Dongge, as well as recapture the Jingwumen plaque and Huo Yuanjia's spiritual position, Chen Zhen died with the big boss Sato.

The existing film and television dramas have so many Chen Zhen's images.

Why does Gu Bei still want to shoot Chen Zhen?

"Xiao Gu, you just said that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has not been broadcast in the mainland for a long time, and the inherent impression of the audience has been formed, but whether it is "Hero Huo Yuanjia" or "Chen Zhen", it has not been a few years since it was introduced in the mainland!"

It's really not a long time, and Chen Zhen, played by Liang Xiaolong, is also very good, but ......

If you want to talk about classics, the most brilliant role of Chen Zhen has to be said to be "Jingwu Hero" played by Jet Li, and "Chen Zhen" played by Zhen Zidan.

A movie, a TV series, can be used as a teaching guide for action movies.

"Director, if we want to shoot Chen Zhen, we don't necessarily have to remake their story, we can write one ourselves!"

Anyway, it's all made up, the character of Chen Zhen has left a name in history, and his life and deeds are all made up, and the people of Xiangjiang can make it up again and again, why can't Gu Bei.

Just now Ruan Ruolin mentioned that CCTV was going to cooperate with ATV to make a film, and Gu Bei's first thought was the theme of Chen Zhen.

If you really want to shoot a Jingu martial arts drama, CCTV will be able to do it at best.

For other themes, if you shoot an urban drama, the status quo on both sides cannot resonate at all.

Of course, it is also possible to make a TV series that reflects the theme of Xiangjiang's return, but if it is put on the Xiangjiang side, the local audience may not like it.

At that time, the mainland side of the light will be high, and the ratings on the Xiangjiang side will be miserable, what is the sub-view of the people?

The purpose of cooperation is to show the attitude of the mainland, but in the final analysis, people have to be profitable.

Therefore, it is better to make an action movie that promotes patriotism.

Liked both sides.

After listening to Gu Bei's explanation, Ruan Ruolin couldn't help but sigh, Gu Bei was also thoughtful.

They studied it for a long time, but they didn't get to the point.

"That's right, Xiao Gu, that's right, it's still an action movie with a quick brain and promoting patriotism, I believe ATV will also approve it, but the script is ......"

Gu Bei smiled: "Naturally, I'll come!" ”

When we were talking just now, Gu Bei had already thought about it, if it was filmed, it would be best to choose Zhen Zidan's version of "Jingwumen", of course, it could also be combined with some of Li Lianjie's "Jingwu Heroes" plot.

As for who will play Chen Zhen......

The first choice is naturally Li Lianjie, but I can only think about it, Li Lianjie has now made a name for herself in Xiangjiang, and everyone is ready to enter Hollywood.

If she comes back to shoot a TV series, Li Lianjie may not be able to agree.

Then it can only be Zhen Zidan.

Speaking of which, Gu Bei and Zhen Zidan have also met.

At the beginning, the crew of "Journey to the West" chose the actor of Sun Wukong, and Gu Bei once accompanied Director Yang Jie to Shichahai Martial Arts School.

Zhen Zidan happened to be training at Shichahai Martial Arts School at that time.

Gu Bei still remembers that at that time, Director Yang Jie asked every martial arts student of the right age to come up and play a set of monkey boxing, Zhen Zidan was reluctant, and it was very perfunctory at that time.

Unexpectedly, the two of them could still intersect.

"Xiao Gu, you are busy enough here now, how can you still have time to write a script, this matter, the station attaches great importance to it, don't look at it now, nothing has been decided, but I heard Deputy Director Hong say, not only our station, but also radio and television, are all staring at it, I estimate that this matter will be decided within the year, you ......"

Gu Bei is going to film "Bright Sword", Ruan Ruolin has been in the crew for a day, and he has already felt that the work here is very busy.

Although the old lady does not doubt Gu Bei's creative ability, the question is, where did Gu Bei get the time?

"Director, you don't have to worry about this, so let's go, after you go back tomorrow, talk to the station first, if you can approve my plan, let's continue to proceed, and if ATV also agrees, I will definitely hand in the script within two months!"

Regarding the TV series "Jingwumen", although Gu Bei's impression is already a little vague, he can make it up!

Later, I filmed so many film and television dramas with the theme of Chen Zhen, and each one took out a part of it and put it in, and it was not easy to make up a script!

"Two months? Xiao Gu, you have to think about it, this is not a joke! ”

Again, at least when it comes to external matters, you have to be careful.

"Director, do you want me to give you a military order?"

!

Ruan Ruolin said with a smile: "Okay, since you have said so, I will fulfill you, and when I return to Taiwan tomorrow, I will go to Deputy Director Hong and settle this matter as soon as possible." ”

"Director, actually, it doesn't matter if the station or ATV doesn't adopt it, it's a big deal, let's shoot it ourselves, it just so happens that I don't have a project next year!"

Although the restrictions on private capital entering the production of film and television dramas will be relaxed next year, Gu Bei is not clear about the specific time, so he can't eat for nothing and not work!

Originally, Gu Bei was still thinking about whether to contribute "White Eyebrows".

Now that there is "Jingwumen", Gu Bei can put the story of "White Eyebrows" away.

When Ruan Ruolin heard this, he looked at Gu Bei, and his eyes were meaningful: "No project? Are you sure? If so...... So what's going on with director Guo Baochang? ”

Belch......

Do you even know this?

Some people died, but not completely......
