Chapter 232 Schedule Crash
In an apartment with three bedrooms and two living rooms.
Xu Kun simply packed up and prepared to take the edited "People on the Road" to Huayi for a trial screening.
Baoqiang had already packed up and was wandering around the room excitedly and anxiously.
Xu Kun was about to greet him and go out, but suddenly remembered something, frowned and said: "By the way, did you tell me a few days ago that "Wulin Gaiden" is also going to be broadcast."
"yes."
Bao Qiang explained: "I didn't contact the people from "Wulin Gaiden" when I was filming the movie. I also called Brother Sha Yi a few days ago and found out that "Wulin Gaiden" was the same as "Ba Zong", and both were selected in 1 It will be broadcast on the 2nd of March.
Director Shang Jing is quite well-connected, and such a simple crew was able to be featured on CCTV 8 - I told you at the time, but Brother Kun, you were busy editing at that time, so you probably didn't hear it clearly. "
broken!
After countless calculations, I missed this one!
"Brother Kun, what's wrong?"
Bao Qiang saw Xu Kun's expression change suddenly, and he still didn't understand what was going on.
After all, even the people who have the most confidence in "Wulin Gaiden" now don't think it will affect "The Boss Falls in Love with Me", let alone that it can compete with the Spring Festival Gala.
"nothing."
Xu Kun shook his head and said, "Let's go, don't keep Huayi's people waiting."
This is really a secret!
Being broadcast at the same time as "Wulin Gaiden", Ba Zong's ratings will definitely be affected to a certain extent, but it is not without its benefits. Bao Qiang has a lot of scenes in "Wulin Gaiden", and his performance is better than the original version.
After all, what he is best at is playing this kind of funny character who is somewhat paranoid and flawed, and plays it just right so as not to make the audience hate him.
Coupled with the popularity of Xu Kun's Pinggu, if the guidance is good enough, it may be able to attract some fans of "Wulin Gaiden" to watch "The Lost Journey".
Anyway, it was too late to change the schedule now, so Xu Kun could only comfort himself in this way.
The two of them went downstairs together.
Baoqiang likes to sit in the front passenger seat, and Xu Kun happens to occupy the back seat alone.
After getting in the car, he rubbed his bloodshot and red eyes from staring at the screen for a long time, and asked casually: "Is there any news recently?"
"news?"
Zhu Yawen, who was starting the car, looked much rougher and more mature than half a year ago - he was the first person to follow Chen Xuebin to the Northeast for location scouting, so he naturally suffered a lot.
Zhu Yawen thought for a while and said, "Director Feng made a statement two days ago that he wanted to ban a young actor. It seems to be related to the TV series Wen Zhang and the others filmed at the beginning of the year."
"Is it that "Days Related to Youth"?"
Xu Kun heard that this film was mentioned by Wen Zhang, saying that it was a mashup of the past of Beijing's big shots, and Huayi's Wang Xiaowang and Feng Xiaogang were both in it.
It seems that this drama should be disparaging to Feng Xiaogang.
The actor was also the one who got into trouble when gods fought with each other. The director of "Days Related to Youth" was a real big shot in Beijing circles. Feng Xiaogang couldn't afford to offend him, so naturally he had no choice but to take it out on the actor.
Arrive at Huayi.
Xu Kun was originally a little worried that Feng Xiaogang, the main judge, would affect the movie-watching experience due to emotional problems, which would in turn affect the evaluation of "Unfortunately".
As a result, when I met Feng Xiaogang in the small screening room inside Huayi, I saw him smiling with a red face and a mouth full of rotten teeth.
The king and the little king also looked cheerful, and they were somewhat gloating about their misfortune.
In addition to these three, there are also several senior executives of Huayi, as well as artists and stars such as Ge You, Ren Hu, Zhang Hanyu, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, Huo Siyan, Qin Lan, Xiong Naijin, etc.
"Uncle, Uncle Feng, and Mr. Wang."
After Xu Kun said hello, he asked curiously: "Did you encounter something good?"
Feng Xiaogang reached out and patted Xu Kun's arm, laughing and saying: "Hua Yi will soon have a successor as director. Shouldn't we be happy?"
The two kings smiled but did not answer. Ge You's face was a little gloomy, and he specifically told Xu Kun: "I'm going to eat at home tonight. I have something I want to discuss with you."
"Okay, I haven't eaten the food cooked by my aunt for a while."
After the pleasantries.
Xu Kun walked around to the projector at the back and cooperated with the staff to adjust the video in a familiar manner.
Feng Xiaogang watched him operate from the side and asked clearly: "Cut it yourself?"
Xu Kun explained with a smile: "When I was filming in Shanghai, I took the time to learn it - it was shot with a digital camera and it was easy to edit, so I tried it myself.
If there is any problem with the cutting, please be sure to point it out to me later so that I can revise it later. "
Feng Xiaogang nodded and said no more.
Ever since Xu Kun politely rejected him as the producer, he knew that Xu Kun was very opinionated. How could such a person manipulate others during editing?
If Xu Kun really found the gunman, he would feel strange.
When he was ready for the screening, Xu Kun walked around to the screen again.
"Everyone."
After everyone took their seats, he confidently looked around the audience, and then said loudly: "Before watching this movie, I want to emphasize that before this movie, there was a 25-episode TV series to detail Portraying the image of the male protagonist Meng Hao as a business elite.
Of course, the movie itself is also a complete story. Even if you have not watched the TV series, it does not affect the audience's understanding of every aspect of the movie - but if you have watched the TV series, Meng Hao's contrasting performance in the TV series will appear more interesting. feel. "
After hearing this, everyone in the audience murmured to each other, and one of the executives raised his voice and asked: "Then can I infer that if you haven't watched the TV series, this movie will be much inferior?"
"Not really!"
Xu Kun categorically denied it, then pointed at Baoqiang sitting in the corner of the second row and said: "If you haven't watched the TV series, there is a high probability that you will be attracted by Wang Baoqiang's performance - in this movie, Baoqiang The character he plays is the real eye-catcher, and his performance in the play is better than mine.”
Hearing what Xu Kun said, Baoqiang, who was already worried, turned red all of a sudden. He quickly shook his head and denied it in the audience: "Brother Kun, don't put gold on my face. How can I, how can I compare with you..." "
"I told the truth."
Xu Kun interrupted him, and then said to the senior executive: "The reason why I emphasize the existence of the TV series is to show that this movie has an audience base. The more successful the TV series is, the bigger and stronger this foundation will be!"
Another voice came from the audience: "According to what you said, isn't this very similar to the adaptation of a classic? But in recent years, there seem to be few movies adapted from classics that have a good reputation and can be successful, right?"
"It can be a simple analogy, but it is actually not the same."
Xu Kun continued to talk eloquently: "The biggest problem in adapting classics is the 'revision'. If you change too little, you will be criticized for not having new ideas; if you change too much, you will be accused of ruining the classic.
The movie "Unfortunately" was an idea that I had come up with before I started filming the TV series, so when filming the TV series, Director Tian and I had left enough space and suspense for it.
It can be said that the movie + TV series is the complete version of the original story, so there is no need for adaptation and there will be no sense of violation. "
There was another round of whispering, and then someone asked again: "Since the biggest foundation of your movie lies in the TV series, if the TV series has poor ratings and reputation, won't it in turn affect the movie?"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Xu Kun said categorically: "The TV series will definitely be popular!"
If it were another drama, he might not dare to vouch for it, but he also added a lot of pretense scenes for later generations. "The Boss Falls in Love with Me" is equivalent to a dragon riding on the face, and there is no trace of it at all. Possibility of losing.
Uh~
Losing to "Wulin Gaiden" does not count, ranking second in the year is still a win.
Awed by the huge self-confidence displayed by Xu Kun, there was no other voice in the audience for a while.
"alright."
Wang Zhongjun said with a smile: "Speaking of a thousand words, as a director, you still have to rely on your work to speak for itself. If you have any other questions, you can ask them after watching the movie - Xiao Xu, come on, come on, you can sit down Between me and Director Feng.”
