The final highlight of Chinese sitcoms should be "Wulin Gaiden".
Although the popularity and income of "Love Apartment" later were also very gratifying.
But no matter in terms of performance, script or concept, "Love Apartment" is far inferior to "Wulin Gaiden".
What's more, there are definite traces of "imitation" in "Love Apartment".
However, even if it is as good as "Wulin Gaiden", in the history of Chinese sitcoms, it can only be ranked second at most.
The first must be the legendary work of great masters, "I Love My Family".
Wang Shuo is still very capable. As a screenwriter, he has indeed produced many great works.
"I Love My Family" and "Wulin Gaiden" have finished the first and second places.
So when it comes to nationality, the third place must be the childhood memories of countless people.
"Family with Children"!
In terms of Shangxing's highest ratings, it is definitely not as good as "I Love My Family".
Even "The Story of Cooking Class" and "Wulin Gaiden" cannot compare.
After all, the tone and age range of this film are relatively lower, so it is slightly less attractive to older audiences.
But just like the ending song of this film..."Your childhood and mine seem to be the same."
This film is so popular among young audiences, especially teenagers!
If you control your children, you control the future.
Ever since you saw a Ferrari poster when you were six years old, that red Prancing Horse has become your lifelong dream car.
When you were ten years old and saw the stills of Qiu Shuzhen in red clothes and holding cards in her mouth, that Hong Kong-style beauty would become your lifelong dream lover.
The same goes for TV series.
TV dramas that were talked about in later generations, in addition to those extremely well-produced tomes, are such as "Family with Children", "Magic Cell Phone", and "Balala Little Fairy", which were recalled in the same year.
But when talking about this TV series, Song Xuanjue didn't show any pride, but her face was as grim as a white cloud.
"Oh, Xiao Zhang, you don't know!"
“I was the one who filmed this film!”
"Except for cooperating with him, I have never had such a hard time." After saying this, Song Xuanjie also CUE'd Zhao Benshan, who had an innocent look on his face.
"Why do you keep talking about me!" Uncle Benshan spread his hands.
"As long as I can perform well in other crews."
"This "Family with Children" is different, there are three children!"
The sad face was a sad face, but at this time, Teacher Song Xuanyi's sad face was similar to that of a grown-up parent, mostly helpless and accompanied by a bit of doting.
"This kid, Xiao Zi, is serious, but not very talented."
“Slow entry into the play.”
"But the good thing is that at least you are serious and you have to teach well."
Zhang Yuan thought, in terms of talent, it depends on how you say it and who you compare with.
Yang Zi is relatively "miserable".
Born as a child star, the second film she participated in was "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang", where she played the role of Xiao Wanru.
At that time, the crew, director, and actors all said that this kid had average talent.
Because she is not the only child star in the cast.
The other one is Shu Chang.
Any child star that competes with Chang Chang will be doomed.
You have to throw it away when comparing things!
Shu Chang was already precocious and had a good brain, and he was a few years older than Yang Zi.
After being in the same group, the contrast became even more obvious.
Now comes her third work, which is "Family with Children".
I met Zhang Yishan again, whose talent came very early.
"This kid Yishan is just the opposite of Xiao Zi." Song Xuanjue said as he talked about him: "There is no one so naughty."
"When I was filming the first part, I told his mother about it after the crew started working for a week."
"Why don't you take your children to see if they have ADHD?"
"You are skin deep, but you are smart. You can understand everything as soon as you say it, and you often have unexpected reactions and highlights."
"As for this kid, Haoran, he can't get out of trouble, but he always makes trouble."
"Always likes to steal props, hide scripts, and hide clothes."
Speaking of these three children, Song Xuanjie was very fond of their family treasures.
In fact, among the three, the one who became famous first was You Haoran, who did not make any big splash in later generations.
When I was only three and a half years old, I filmed the nationally famous "Wash Mom's Feet" public service advertisement.
When he was six or seven years old, he participated in the filming of "The Mansion Gate", playing the role of the director "himself".
That is, the adopted son of Bai Qiye, director of the Bai family, director Guo Baochang was resold twice by his mother and third aunt and was lucky enough to enter the Baicao Hall prototype Tongrentang.
In addition to these three, plus Song Xuanju herself, there is also Teacher Lao Ai...that is, Gao Yalin.
The lively performance he performed with Teacher Ning Jing's Zhao Ji was still before Zhang Yuan's eyes.
The original setting of the film was that Xia Donghai returned from abroad with his son and lived with his daughter Liu Mei who grew up in China and his remarriage partner, and his son Liu Xing who he brought into marriage.
It means that the three children grew up in completely different environments, and the conflicts and integration between them were the main line.
When she received the script, Song Xingyi didn't want to act in it at first.
Because while she was shining brightly on the Spring Festival Gala stage, her work in film and television dramas encountered a bottleneck.
To put it simply, Bai Yun's image in the sketch was very successful, but because it was so successful, it formed a stereotype, which had a negative impact on her acting career.
Several TV series in a row were lukewarm.
And when this film found her, it was a comedy.
It was comedy again, and she wasn't happy when she saw it.
My work has been affected by my comedy image, so here’s another one...
The second is a reason that she didn't mention in person.
The pay is too low!
One episode costs 1,000 yuan, and the first 100-episode film cost only 100,000 yuan after more than half a year of filming.
For ordinary people, 100,000 yuan is a lot.
But for actors, there are really very few.
After repeatedly rejecting the offer, it was because director Lin Cong was familiar with her that he got her the chance.
The male lead, Gao Yalin, took the initiative.
Not long after receiving the script, I agreed.
The salary is even lower than that of Song Xingyi, but this person doesn't care.
Because he has "suffered a loss"!
"The Story of the Cooking Class" initially included him in the main cast.
Not long before filming started, director Shang Jinglin thought he was fat.
They say no soldier has such a figure.
And because I was very familiar with him, I was "kicked away" by him.
The film turned out to be a hit!
Gao Yalin regretted so much that he knocked on Shang Jing's meal several times.
This time he saw a sitcom again, and he was still starring in it, so he had to catch it no matter what.
Just as he thought, the film became a hit as soon as it was aired!
Summer snow, summer rain, summer hail.
Even Xia Donghai and Liu Mei have become representative images of Chinese families.
When filming the first film, director Lin Cong, screenwriter and coordinator Li Jianhong, and main screenwriter Zang Jiajie stayed up late all day long.
I begged the people around me to provide materials so that I could have enough stories for 100 episodes.
As a result, after the first episode was broadcast on Didu TV, it received a ratings of 5%, and the second episode reached a peak ratings of 15% on Guangxi Channel.
The copyrights of island countries, stick countries, and Southeast Asian countries have all been sold, although the price is not high.
But it is enough to prove the popularity of the film.
When it comes to the preparation stage for the second part, these people no longer have to worry about the script.
Dozens of screenwriters and countless viewers sent letters and emails, providing a large amount of material. The amount of material is as much as the dandruff on the head of a college student who hasn’t returned to school after hanging out in an Internet cafe for a month...
The first part was broadcast on Imperial Channel.
When it comes to the second part, it goes directly to CCTV14, which is CCTV Children’s Channel.
Just looking at the premiere platform, you can tell that this film is on a higher level.
The second part was also a hit, and all the second, third, and fourth rounds were sold.
Since it’s so popular, let’s hurry up and get the third part!
There is only one year between the first and second parts, which basically matches the shooting cycle. After all, 100 episodes is already very early.
But the second and third parts were separated by more than two years.
There are still 100 episodes of content, the movie is more popular, there is more material, and a lot of TV stations are waiting for it.
Why is it difficult to give birth?
The problem has to go back to the reason why Song Xingyi wanted to refuse in the first place.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
money!
The first and second parts were a hit.
But the treatment of the entire crew, from actors, directors to screenwriters, has hardly improved.
Compared with the same period, foreign sitcoms.
Take the most famous "Friends" as an example.
In the first season, the most famous actors who played Ross and Rachel were paid the most at $22,500 per episode.
The rest of the people earn from a few thousand dollars to ten thousand dollars an episode.
After the film became popular, the salary increase for the second season was not obvious.
So the two people with the highest salary took the lead in initiating negotiations and asked for a salary increase.
And all six people must get equal pay!
The six of us are all leading actors, and we must have the same salary, otherwise we will stop acting.
This is very common if you are the one with the lowest remuneration.
But it’s not easy for the two people who earn the most to take the lead.
This has also become a famous salary increase incident in the history of TV dramas in Beacon Country. It pitted the actors against the management and ended with the weak party winning a big victory.
By the tenth season, each of the six people was earning as much as $1 million per episode.
The tenth season was aired in 2003.
One million US dollars per episode, look at this income, can it not make actors from all over the world flock to it, and would rather stay low and be small, and squeeze their brains out to want to go?
Who wouldn't be jealous after seeing this?
But the same thing is different when it comes to the crew of "Family with Children".
Producer Li Hong also took the lead in demanding a salary increase.
The result is...
Steamed buns, you don’t have a handle?
Symbolically and generously, a few hundred dollars were added to each episode, and the actors, screenwriters, producers, and directors were all the same.
The producers behind the scenes thought they were being magnanimous, but the people working on it felt insulted!
It’s okay if you don’t add it. If you add this, why are you sending the beggars away?
We all know how much money the film makes.
You guys don’t treat people as human beings!
This is not over yet.
Once the film becomes popular, more investors will want to get involved.
When capital enters the market, there will be relationships.
This is also the reason why Teacher Song Jue received the call just now.
The caller was not her stepdaughter...not the stepdaughter in real life, but the stepdaughter in the film, Yang Zi.
The related household is related to the protagonist!
"Xiao Zi called me and told me."
"The crew informed her that she didn't need to go."
"Let her study hard and don't fall behind on her homework." When Song Xingyi repeated these words, her face was full of resentment.
He was kicked by others, but also made people study hard... He was really responsible and upright. He not only stabbed others, but also taught lessons while stabbing them.
It does sound a bit disgusting.
But Zhang Yuan felt that the person who informed Yang Zi on the set did not deliberately disgust her.
It's just that I didn't take this young girl seriously.
"I asked the director of the film and he felt aggrieved."
"Said it was requested by investors."
"I have to let my daughter play the role of Xiaoxue."
"The producer has already made an agreement with the investors, and there is nothing she can do."
Zhang Yuan nodded after listening, and it was exactly what he thought.
This is the famous substitution incident in "Family with Children".
Generally speaking, series dramas are most afraid of changing actors, especially changing the protagonist actor, which is the biggest taboo!
I would rather write the character to death or write it off than replace him easily.
It would be a pity to have no audience at all.
Ninety-nine times if you make a substitution, you will be scolded!
But even so, the mastermind behind the film still did not hesitate to replace the little girl.
Zhang Yuan knew that this was not just because the other party "gave too much".
If you have a clear mind, no matter how much you are given, you will not be replaced.
"What do you think all this is about?" Song Xuanjue's face was full of sorrow.
I have already filmed 200 episodes, and I keep saying that I don’t want to act with children because it’s too tiring.
But after all, there are feelings.
But I can't make the decision myself.
Song Jue is a straightforward person who always seems to rely on his elders and act like his elders, and he doesn't keep his mouth shut.
But the heart is not bad.
"I can't do anything, I can't explain it to my child, I can't help."
"Actors are actually very passive." When Song Xingyi said this, he looked at Uncle Benshan again.
Zhao Benshan also smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Even he was still very passive when facing the Spring Festival Gala review team.
What is said about Benshan's sketches that are rumored to be exempt from inspection.
That's all bullshit.
It’s not that you are exempt from the examination, but you can skip the two rounds of preliminary examinations, and you will not be able to skip the subsequent rounds of reexaminations.
Seeing that both of them looked ugly, Zhang Yuan became energetic.
It's good to be worried.
It’s better to be in trouble!
If you cause trouble, my opportunity will come!
Originally, he could not get involved in an already famous series such as "Family with Children".
Now's your chance!
"Sister Dandan, actually I have been engaged in film and television investment."
"I love watching "Family with Children"."
"It's a pity to change the actor of Xiaoxue."
“In the final analysis, it’s not about money.”
"Otherwise, I will pay for it and it will be considered an investment."
"I will make up for whatever is missing."
“Wouldn’t it be nice to replace the role that was squeezed out by investors?”
After telling her plan, Song Xuan was stunned for a moment, then showed hesitation on her face...(End of Chapter)
