Chapter 280: New Album, Confirmed Costume Drama
"Panic Island" was released.
Gu Shouchun has already messed up three movies in a row, and if he had followed the rules of a mature commercial society, he would have been "out of the game" long ago.
But in Huaxia, he is still a well-known director, and his appeal is still there.
As a result, the box office of "Panic Island" on the first day was 82 million, firmly occupying the top spot and pressing "Secret" in second place.
After all, "The Secret" has been in theaters for nearly two weeks, and it is very normal to be unable to compare with the new film.
Su Zhe is also very calm, he doesn't care about the momentary victory or defeat, and pays more attention to the reputation of "Panic Island".
The media is full of praise, praising Gu Shouchun's undiminished skills, and the film is full of ideas.
But the public reputation immediately collapsed:
[Seeing that I am dizzy, a group of people are stranded on a desert island, and then start to play house? γ
[Seems like a metaphor? Through a group of people on a desert island, alluding to real-life phenomena, including populism, ZZ and the like. γ
[The idea is profound, but the story is too messy.] γ
This is also Su Zhe's confusion when he read the script at the beginning, and now it seems that the finished film has not changed.
Those so-called ideologies are actually clichΓ©s, and they are not as profound as the discussions of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau, but Gu Shouchun feels that he has unique ideas and is unwilling to tell stories well.
In the end, the story is scattered, distorting the characters' personalities for metaphors, resulting in a chaotic plot, and they also boast that they are elites and others can't understand them.
I really want to metaphorize and see how "Let the Bullets Fly" is done-
Tell the story first!
"This film relies on the fame of the director and the leading actor to deceive the audience, and it is not a big threat."
Su Zhe was relieved to see that his opponent was so bad.
He didn't even pay much attention to when the [Anti-Black Charm] would take effect, and he wouldn't let him down anyway.
In that case, let's concentrate on making an album.
This love song album, he intends to be the same as the folk album, full of ace songs.
Anyway, there are so many songs in my memory, so don't pick and search, is there still a main song and a non-main song?
"Is there any mistake? Let the traveler next door see it, and think that Lao Tzu can't copy the song! Just a few songs are enough for anyone to sing. What Jay Chou, JJ, Black Fly, Lin Dan, one song per person! Bring them all! β
Su Zhe wants everyone to recognize-
"Produced by Su Zhe, it must be a high-quality product!"
So in the next few days, Su Zhe kept soaking in the recording studio, and even missed the excitement of [Anti-Black Symbol] -
There is a news from Jiamada:
[A group of international students were arrested for drug driving! ] γ
This was not hot news originally, after all, the aura of international students has long faded, and the public knows that there are three types of international students:
One is good at studying, and the other is rich at home.
There is also a kind of film that is very heavy.
But what attracted the public's attention was that in this group of international students, there was Gu Shouchun's daughter - Gu Jiajia!
Gu Jiajia is also well-known in China, and has always been a positive example of Gu Shouchun's education, and she can always be found in the first few in the inventory of the second generation of stars.
In almost all reports about her, she is praised as a "scholar", and Gu Shouchun also likes to create a character of "strict tutoring and good at educating children", and sends her daughter to study abroad.
She will graduate next year, and Gu Shouchun has paved the way for her to enter the entertainment industry.
Even the well-informed marketing account listed Gu Jiajia as one of the little flowers to be exploded in the entertainment industry.
Unexpectedly, it was exposed before it exploded.
So Su Zhe saw-
[Completely debunking Gu Shouchun: education is well]
γDraw Reward: Oil Painting (Top Level)γ
"Painting skills, not very practical, but not bad, better than sewing machine skills......"
Su Zhe muttered in his heart, and instead of delving into the skills, he checked the news casually.
After Gu Jiajia was exposed to the identity of "Xueba", all kinds of negative news came:
[In fact, Gu Jiajia is a gentleman in China, showing off stars all day long, and she is very vain. γ
[After going abroad, no one cares anymore, and even the language school has repeated a grade! ] If it weren't for his father's money, he wouldn't have been able to go to college. γ
[I am in the same school as her, she is famous, and she can be called a yellow ding! γ
γβ¦β¦ Liu Yuxi hates you! γ
"Poof!" Su Zhe couldn't help but laugh when he saw these netizen comments.
What makes him even happier is that under the influence of the movie's reputation and Gu Shouchun's daughter scandal, the box office of "Panic Island" has been greatly affected, and the gap has been narrowed by "Secret".
Yan Xiling also made a special trip to Su Zhe to report the good news:
"Su Zhe, you are metaphysical again!"
Su Zhe: ???
Since the last time there were rumors of "raising little ghosts", his metaphysical attributes have become more and more famous.
Of course, Su Zhe resolutely refused to admit it, and hurriedly explained:
"Gu Shouchun's daughter is adding hemp, what's my business? Gu Shouchun has not been banned, how can I be said to be metaphysical? β
Yan Xiling smiled:
"Gu Shouchun's backstage is too hard, unless he is in the country, it is impossible to be blocked, and no matter how much black material there is, it is useless. But his daughter couldn't make his debut, which made him mad. β
In fact, Yan Xiling is just joking, and there are not many people who really believe in "little ghosts", even in the circle.
She asked about the album again, and Su Zhe said briskly:
"I'm done recording, I'm picking an album name, it's so difficult!"
Yan Xiling smiled:
"You, you never hesitate to write songs, but it's difficult to choose a name. The easiest way is to name it after the title song. β
Su Zhe had a faint confidence in his tone:
"There's no title song, or rather, it's all title songs."
Yan Xiling was pleasantly surprised:
"You wrote 12 love songs for Wang Bang? I really fell in love with them in vain! β
Su Zhe: ......
He hurriedly changed the subject:
"Sister Yan, I'm done with the album, promote you, I'm going to think about the next TV series."
After hanging up the phone, Su Zhe suddenly had an inspiration-
"I'm so stupid! After thinking about so many costume dramas, I forgot the Jin Yong drama that should not be forgotten! β
This is all a big male lead drama! is not like later costume dramas, almost all of them are big heroine dramas.
As for the ratings and word of mouth, not to mention, it can be described as enduring, and many remakes are all classics!
And in the previous life, Jin Yong's drama was filmed too many times, Jin Yu was in front, and it was difficult to make a new remake.
But there is no Jin Yong in this world, let alone Jin Yong dramas, Su Zhe has no burden of the previous work at all, and he paints on blank paper, and it is easy to shoot classics.
"Great! Jin Yong's drama can be filmed! It can be used as the trump card IP of Long Aotian in the future! β
The more Su Zhe thought about it, the more excited he became:
"There are also Gu Long's classics, Li Xunhuan, Lu Xiaofeng, peerless Shuangjiao, etc., although the TV series is more difficult to change, they are all classic characters."
However, in order to be safe, he must first shoot Jin Yong's drama that is easier to film and television adaptation.
"But which one do I choose? It's all classics! β
First of all, it excludes the flying snow and white, and the book relies on the blue duck, which are relatively mediocre works.
Then there are only a few left, and Su Zhe takes stock one by one:
""Dragon Babu"? This one is highly rated, the plot is exciting, the multi-line narrative, and the martial arts are between fantasy and martial arts, which is very suitable for special effects. But it has to be shot according to the triptych version, not a new revised version (Wang Yuyan left Duan Yu to find Murong Fu). β
Su Zhe was a little moved, but he felt that he was not suitable for playing Qiao Feng, let alone playing Xuzhu (ugly monk), so he could only play Duan Yu.
From the plot analysis, Duan Yu should be the first male protagonist of "Dragon Babu", and his experience is perfectly in line with the male protagonist of Shuangwen-
Born noble, he had adventures all the way, opened the harem, his brothers were awesome, and he pretended to be slapped in the face.
But anyone who has watched "Dragon Babu" recognizes Qiao Gang Leader even more, he is the undoubted male protagonist.
"It's really not good, I'll play Qiao Feng...... But Qiao Feng is more handsome than Murong Fu and Duan Yu? It always feels weird. β
Su Zhe complained in his heart.
"Forget it, put it on hold for the time being, so shoot "The Legend of Deer and Ding"?"
This anti-martial arts may be Jin Yong's best, the TV series is witty and interesting, and various episodes are very suitable for new media communication.
But as an anti-martial arts, Su Zhe always feels that it is more contrasting to shoot some excellent martial arts works first, and then launch "The Legend of Deer and Ding".
"Let's put it on hold for now."
Then only "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" and "Chivalrous Travel" are left.
Su Zhe pondered the male protagonists of these films, and it was obvious that the most handsome among them was Yang Guo.
"My appearance is for Yang Guo."
Playing Yang Guo, the most important thing is "mediocre", if you don't have the appearance of Bai Gu, who has a "sense of substitution" that book friends admit, don't play this role as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it will be like a certain sect leader, and it will become one of the biggest black spots in the early days.
can shoot "Condor", there is still a big problem -
It is connected with "Shooting the Condor", if there is no "Shooting the Condor", I don't know Yang Guo's life experience, I don't know Yang Kang's hatefulness;
Without "Shooting the Condor", I don't know Guo Jing and Uncle Guo's "The Great Man of Chivalry for the Country and the People", and I don't know why Huang Rong is wary of Yang Guo;
Without "Shooting the Condor", I don't know the "Nine Yin True Scripture", Huashan on the sword, and the old five uniques.
Su Zhe was numb:
"You can't shoot a "Condor" before filming "Condor", right? That's a bit of a big investment. β
Or add this information to Condor?
That would require him to make drastic changes to the original, and he really didn't have that much confidence in himself.
"Hey, the last part of the Condor trilogy, "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", is the same, and it's not easy to shoot."
In fact, this one only needs to explain the origin of the Heavenly Sword Dragon Slayer, and even Zhang Sanfeng's crush on Guo Xiang doesn't need to be too much ink and ink, just use it as the background plot.
But Su Zhe thought about it, and the Condor trilogy should be filmed in order.
In the end, only "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and "Chivalrous Travel" remained.
"Compared with these two films, I must choose "Smiling Proud Jianghu"!"
But Su Zhe always felt a little awkward.
In fact, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" can be ranked among the top three in Jin Yong's works, except for some private goods that are a little problematic, the level is very high.
But there's a problem -
Linghu Chong.
Ling Hu Chong used to be one of the most charming male protagonists in Jin Yong's drama, handsome and free, affectionate and righteous, and the background of the character is also very unique - hermit.
But after the Internet era, as countless people carefully dismantled the plot, Ling Hu Chong's image gradually collapsed.
Making friends with Tian Boguang, a prostitute thief, and calling Xiang Wentian, who killed innocent passers-by, brothers and sisters, became a crime that he could not get rid of.
And his attitude towards the Huashan faction and his master Yue Buqun also caused a lot of controversy.
"It has to be changed."
Su Zhe sighed, pondered for a long time, and realized very self-consciously that it was difficult for him to change, so he simply called Song Xianzhong, the director and screenwriter of "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty".
He is the best at dealing with this kind of political metaphor in historical dramas.
In front of real historical figures, even if Jin Yong is a martial arts master, the characters he creates cannot be compared with real historical figures.
Yue Buqun is a "gentleman's sword"? What about Wang Mang? When the world recognizes the usurpation, this is a good reputation!
Su Zhe is not worried about Song Xianzhong's level, but only worried that he can't watch martial arts dramas.
Unexpectedly, after Song Xianzhong heard his request, he happily agreed:
"Come on, let's find a clean place to talk."
After the last cooperation, Song Xianzhong had an excellent impression of Su Zhe, so he was so happy.
Su Zhe didn't say a word, he went to meet with Song Xianzhong, and it took almost an afternoon, talking dryly, and finally finished telling the story of "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
"It's such an interesting martial arts drama, and it's combined with political metaphors." Song Xianzhong exclaimed, "This is already a very good script, where do you want to change?" β
Su Zhe voiced his concerns.
Song Xianzhong thought for a while and said:
"There are two ways to change it, depending on which one you choose."
Su Zhe hurriedly asked:
"Which two?"
Song Xianzhong stretched out a finger:
"The first method is very simple, you only need to modify the details: Tian Boguang is not a thief, he is a playboy and a scumbag;"
Su Zhe couldn't help but nodded: Ling Hu Chong and the scumbag are friends, it's not a big problem, right?
Song Xianzhong continued:
"Xiang Wentian doesn't kill innocent passers-by, only the people in the Demon Sect who chase and kill him;"
Su Zhe continued to nod and asked:
"What about Yue Buqun? It's not easy to change. β
Song Xianzhong said directly:
"It's also simple, add some plots, let's just say that Yue Buqun collected money when he ordered Hu Chong's martial arts, and he used him as a dead soldier after teaching, and he didn't pay his salary. fell out, so he asked Ning Zhongze to kneel down for him, expel him from the division, and take back his fox character. β
Su Zhe: ......
If it weren't for Song Xianzhong being a person from this world, Su Zhe would definitely suspect who he was hinting at.
"It's very exciting, the only problem is that Linghu is a compound surname, and the fox character is not given by Yue Buqun."
Su Zhe complained.
"Just get the idea." Song Xianzhong smiled, stared at Su Zhe, and asked, "Do you want to know the second method?" β
"I want to hear about it." Su Zhe was very interested, and in his opinion, the first method was very good.
Song Xianzhong immediately became serious:
"It's a complete overhaul! Write the calculations of the various forces more realistically, and the choice of characters is more struggling, so that Hu Chong can have a more complex character, as if this is a real history with martial arts! β
Su Zhe was stunned, if he followed Song Xianzhong's idea, wouldn't it have become a martial arts version of "A Song of Ice and Fire"?
After Song Xianzhong finished speaking, he looked at Su Zhe with burning eyes.
Su Zhe hesitated-
He couldn't be sure of the quality after the overhaul.
If it is corrected, it may surpass the original work and become the most classic martial arts drama;
If it is changed, it will be a waste of this script!
"Otherwise, let's follow the first method."
Su Zhe was stunned, after all, just by modifying the details, you can get an excellent "Smiling Proud Jianghu", whether it is ratings or word of mouth, it will not be bad, and even the most criticized image of Ling Hu Chong has been improved.
So why take the risk of overhauling?
Human nature is risk-averse and has to take risks just to make a profit.
But the traverser doesn't need it! It's still the same sentence -
Why take the risk when you can succeed on the safe foot?
"Of course, it's a good choice."
Song Xianzhong nodded, without any prerogatives, but there was a hint of disappointment in his tone.
Su Zhe got up to say goodbye, but when he was about to go out, he stopped suddenly.
- He's unwilling!
"Obviously there is a chance to get a classic that surpasses the previous life, but you give it up because of timidity?"
"In this life, do you rely on copying the works of your previous life to gain fame and fortune?"
