Chapter 285 Question (This chapter is free)
Huaqing.
Reading room.
A cup of tea is steaming.
Yang Xueqing's green jade fingers gently grasped the celadon cup and handed it to her red lips.
The tea was slowly sipped in small sips, while the picture on the large screen in front of her was playing at a speed of 1.5 times.
After a moment, she put down her tea cup, turned to look at Xu Xiyu next to her and said with a smile: "When I was filming my first TV series, I was just like you. I wanted to watch it eight hundred times a day."
Hearing this, Xu Xiyu smiled and said: "It will be launched tonight. The first four episodes will be broadcast. Whether it can be successful depends on these four episodes."
This kind of serialized literary and artistic works, whether it is TV series, animations or novels. If you want to achieve good results, all you have to do is focus on the early stage plot. If the early stage collapses, no one will want to see your later work.
"Since it's the first four episodes, why are you here staring at the 12th episode over and over again?" Yang Xueqing said with a surprised smile.
"Because episode 12 is a milestone." Hearing this, Xu Xiyu lowered his head slightly and started laughing.
"Hurry Up" has a total of 39 episodes, with two nodes distinguishing three plots.
The first plot can be called the Xu Jiang stage, which is the plot line from episodes 1 to 12 with Xu Jiang as the main conflict.
In episode 12, Gao Qiqiang asked Chen Tai to be his godfather. This means that Gao Qiqiang has entered a new stage of life and a new plot stage.
The second plot can be called the Mang Village stage.
From episodes 13 to 26, the Mang Village incident is the core. In episode 26, Gao Qisheng and Li Xiang both died. Gao Qiqiang successfully seized power over Chen Tai and defected to Zhao Lidong.
The third plot is the head-on confrontation between the guidance team and Gao Qiqiang.
Judging from the results, the reason why "Cyclone" is so popular is that Gao Qiqiang's character has such strong charm and three-dimensionality. It’s because the first episode was so exciting.
During the Xujiang stage, he was an ordinary person whose parents died young and An An sold fish to support his younger siblings.
First, he was inexplicably bullied by Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu, and then due to an accident, Xu Jiang threatened his life.
It can be said that at this stage, everything Gao Qiqiang did came from the oppression of others.
Therefore, the audience can sympathize with the injustice suffered by him, and can also sympathize with his struggle to survive in the face of crisis.
Everyone hopes that he can survive the desperate situation and fight back to the extreme.
At this stage, Gao Qiqiang has many shadows of ordinary people. His rebellious behavior is also in line with the simple values of the public. If he is bullied, of course he must fight back.
Therefore, Xu Xiyu spent a lot of time on the plot of the first 12 episodes, personally watching each episode on the set, trying his best to restore the core content.
If this sequence was not filmed well, there would be no need to film "Rush".
But the quality of the show declined and various controversies began to arise after the 12th episode. It can even be said that it started high and then started low.
Some people feel that this show is simply glorifying the underworld.
The reason for this is mainly because Gao Qiqiang is so brilliant.
In contrast, the positive character An Xin's character image is already in a state of collapse during the Mang Village stage.
The audience will think that An Xin is fake and empty-handed, and his character is flat and thin; they may even think that he only knows how to be tough, and more importantly, they think that he is ignorant of current affairs.
From the perspective of perception, everyone can understand his confrontation with Gao Qiqiang, and even support him morally, because he is righteous.
But understanding comes, a considerable number of viewers simply cannot sympathize with An Xin's behavior.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have shouted out, "If it weren't for Zhang Yiyan, the role of An Xin would have collapsed."
In fact, even if played by Zhang Yi, the role of An Xin has collapsed. The three-dimensionality of his character is not as good as Li Xiang, or even as good as Tang Xiaolong.
And the reason why the audience cannot sympathize with An Xin.
Apart from An Xin, the details are indeed not in place.
Another part of the reason is that Gao Qiqiang's filter during the Xujiang stage has not been broken.
Before everyone could react, he had changed, and they didn't even realize that what he did next was not based on unfair resistance, but on the struggle for power.
At least during the Mangcun stage, many viewers thought he was a character who was repeatedly suppressed by Li Youtian, Chen Tai, and Zhao Lidong.
In other words, Gao Qiqiang has become a vulnerable group in terms of dramatic expression.
He has become a vulnerable group, and An Xin is still holding on to him. How can the audience who watch the drama understand An Xin's behavior?
Incomprehensible, this is human nature. And I want to rationalize An Xin's motives in drama.
One of the ways is to find a group that is more vulnerable than Gao Qiqiang. An Xin wants to represent this more vulnerable group and attack Gao Qiqiang, Zhao Lidong and others.
In fact, the original drama also found the Li Shun who was pushed down by Lao Mo.
But because Gao Qiqiang had just experienced the backbiting and even insults from Li Youtian and Li Hongwei. And it was Lao Mo, the middleman, who took action.
Therefore, to a certain extent, Gao Qiqiang's responsibility has been weakened.
To sum up, Xu Xiyu inserted a plot at the 12th episode, after Gao Qiqiang asked Chen Tai to be his godfather. The plot was not long, just a few minutes, one scene.
The reason for inserting it here.
It's because this is the most suitable place.
At this time, Gao Qiqiang is about to replace Chen Shuting's former husband Bai Jiangbo.
Note, it's about to happen, not immediately.
Because when Gao Qiqiang became a godfather, Chen Tai specifically asked Chen Shuting when Xu Jiang's property would be settled.
The answer Chen Shuting gave at that time was "half a year."
Uncle Tai took advantage of the situation and said, "I will buy Bai Jinhan in half a year and give it to Gao Qiqiang."
From the perspective of film and television drama creation, the reason why the "half a year" point is specifically mentioned is to imply Gao Qiqiang and the audience.
This six months is Gao Qiqiang's "trial period".
Gao Qiqiang needs to demonstrate his abilities and receive a certificate within this half-year period.
Otherwise, why would Uncle Tai trust him?
Gao Qiqiang's position on Chen Tai's side is actually exactly the same as Gao Qiqiang's position on Tang Xiaolong in the later period.
In layman's terms, they are the ones who do the dirty work.
Even from the perspective of the development and growth of the Construction Engineering Group, the Tang brothers in the later period were much more powerful than Gao Qiqiang, who had just become their godfather.
Therefore, the plot inserted by Xu Xiyu is the story within this "half year".
Only at this time did Gao Qiqiang take matters into his own hands. Later he took off and there was no need for him to take matters into his own hands.
As for the content of the plot, it is also very simple. Gao Qiqiang personally leads people to handle the demolition of the Construction Engineering Group project, as a gangster, and in a gangland way.
The objects to be demolished are the more vulnerable groups.
This can also extend the business of the Construction Engineering Group and lead to the Mangcun renovation project.
Of course, the most important thing is that sentence. He wants to clearly tell the audience that Gao Qiqiang has changed through this plot.
From a person who resisted being bullied, he became a person who bullies others.
After this scene ended, there was a scene where Gao Qiqiang and An Xin met on the street and then walked away from each other.
To be honest, this scene is very important.
It was because of this scene that it was much smoother for Xu Xiyu's feature film to pass the review process.
It won't be like the original version, which has to be replayed and constantly revised. Many of the dubbing lines don't match up, and even the plot logic behind Meng Dehai is messed up.
In addition, the ability to resist public opinion risks has also been improved. Xu Xiyu didn't think that Guangying and Donghai would miss the opportunity to attack him by "beautifying the underworld".
Especially Donghai, if his grades are too much higher than theirs, they might really report him.
Thinking of this, he stretched and asked, "Do you think Gao Qiqiang is attractive?"
"Yes, especially in the early stage." Yang Xueqing said without hesitation.
"That's good." Hearing this, Xu Xiyu raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already 8 o'clock in the evening, and "Hurry" should have been online.
