Chapter 168 Chu Liuxiang's Adaptation
Chen Linfeng rolled his eyes and looked at Shu Chang, "Tell me."
"Of course it's Zhao Yanzi. Except for the elderly, people who don't know him probably "Not much."
Chen Linfeng spread his hands, "You may not know it when you were not in China when Zhao Yanzi was most popular. The ratings of Huanzhugege at that time exceeded 47%, and almost half of the people with TV had watched Huanzhu. Princess, counting the replays and the people watching one TV in the same courtyard, at least half of the people in the country know Zhao Yanzi.
If she ceases to exist, if people in the future look back on this era, the famous performing artist will be recognized. There must be a place for her in it.”
Shu Chang was tearing up his channel from the side, "But the current ratings cannot reach the level of those years. It would be great to have 10%."
"That's right, last year's ratings were 10%. There are about 20, but now the number of TV sets owned by urban and rural residents has been rising, and more and more people have TVs at home.
There are 125 million cable TV users, which is 10% based on a minimum of three people per household. The viewership of "The Movie" was watched by 36 million people, which is far less than the number of movie viewers."
Liu Qianqian was a little confused, "So do I have to keep acting in TV series to achieve my goal?"
“Of course not. The box office of domestic movies has been increasing rapidly. It is estimated that in 5 to 8 years, the tenth box office will reach 200 million to 300 million. At this time, we can fully shift to the big screen.
Correspondingly, TV drama ratings are also declining year by year, and TV drama actors still have their last few years of prime time.
Maybe in 10 years, there will be no such opportunity to star in a TV series that can be watched by millions of people.
Before this, my suggestion is that if you have the opportunity to star in a movie directed by a great director, you can go for it, but it is best to focus on TV series for the time being. "
Liu Xiaoli on the side was a little touched when she heard it, but based on her inherent knowledge, it was still a little hard to accept.
"Movies are more about artistry, and TV series are not as stylish as movies. ”
Chen Linfeng was not surprised that she would say this. Most people believe that movie actors are more advanced than TV drama actors.
Even he himself wants to act in movies, and acting in TV series is only temporary.
Shu Chang doesn't care what is out of style.
"Tang Guoqiang and Chen Baoguo also have very high status in the industry."
Don't let the topic controlled by Chen Linfeng go off track.
"Artistic quality is indeed a problem. Many TV series have low investment and shoddy production. TV series are indeed not as refined as film production as a whole.
But classic TV series are not inferior to movies at all. Why does Shu Chang think Teacher Tang , Teacher Chen and others have a high status in the industry because they have all played classic roles in classic TV series."
Liu Xiaoli nodded, this is true, as long as they have played excellent or classic roles, Everyone will also take a high look.
“The key I am talking about does not mean that acting in a TV series can achieve Sissi’s goal. The key lies in the 6-8 years of prime time I mentioned earlier. After this period of time has passed, China’s The movie box office market will usher in a big explosion
The growth rate of domestic movie box office has always been high, probably maintaining at 30% or more. According to the conservative annual growth rate, in 8 years, China’s box office market will reach At the 20 billion level, the box office of the first movie was nearly 2 billion
We need to think ahead about how to prepare for times like this. ”
Liu Yifei took out the calculator and fiddled with it a few times. It was really nearly 20 billion. There were so many.
Chen Linfeng emphasized the number “200” and wrote 2013 at the back. .
“Most of the people who watch movies are people in their 20s and 30s. They have money and energy. At the same time, they are more likely to go to the cinema to watch movies than older people, so we need to focus on the preferences of this group of people. . "
Liu Qianqian couldn't help but admire, "You are so meticulous in your calculations. ”
Liu Xiaoli became more and more serious, and he no longer regarded this as a child's game.
“In what aspects should we consider the preferences of these people?”
“Just calculate their age and you will know that they were 20 to 30 years old in 2013, and now they are 12 to 22 years old.
These people are currently students. Most of them can only stay at home and watch TV, excluding those historical dramas that are difficult to understand, period dramas that cannot be empathized with, bitter dramas, and most other good TV dramas. , they may all like, maybe especially, genres such as martial arts, fairy tales, and idol dramas."
Shu Chang looked a little strange, "Isn't this the type of dramas that Sissi has always participated in? .”
Chen Linfeng snapped his fingers. "That's right, so I think Sissi's box office appeal will reach its peak in 8 years.
If she can star in several more excellent TV series in the future, her peak period will be It will last longer." Liu Qianqian realized later.
“So I’ve been messing around in the past few years?”
Liu Xiaoli was a little happy. She felt that such an inference was very reasonable and hoped that such an inference could become a reality. .
"So Xiaofeng, your opinion is that Sissi shouldn't be in a hurry to make a movie. Even if she receives a good movie opportunity, she shouldn't give up the TV series completely in the future, right?"
"For me, it is I feel that way, and so do my plans for myself.”
Of course, for Chen Linfeng, filming a TV series will not affect his plans to start a movie at the same time.
Next year should be his last year focusing on TV series, and then he will start making movies.
Liu Xiaoli nodded in approval.
The conversation is basically over here.
Chen Linfeng and Shu Chang went back to their respective homes.
The time came in December, while Chen Linfeng was writing his own script, he was discussing the adaptation of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" with the two screenwriters.
These two screenwriters are not well-known screenwriters in the industry. They are only hired as screenwriter tools.
Basically, everything was changed according to Chen Linfeng's opinions, but they didn't think there was anything wrong at all. After all, Long Lin was willing to sign his name for them, and he was also working with the famous writer and screenwriter Chen Linfeng. It was so worth it. .
Chen Linfeng's adaptation of Chu Liuxiang basically refers to the original work, and there is no intention to show off his skills as a famous screenwriter.
The original story of Master Gu Long is very exciting in itself. In the past, it could be said that the description of Gu Long was too freehand and it was difficult to design the plot and fighting scenes, so it had to be changed.
However, the later version of "The New Biography of Chu Liuxiang" by Zhang Zhiyao has proved that it can be shot very well by referring to the original work.
"The New Biography of Chu Liuxiang" can almost be said to be the most perfect adaptation of Gu Long so far.
The only problem is that the screenwriter is too restorative, and the dialogue and even inner activities in the original work are copied, resulting in a slightly slow pace and cumbersome dialogue.
Chen Linfeng only needs to delete some dialogues and speed up the pace on this basis.
In addition, Chen Linfeng also borrowed some changes from the new biography.
That is to delete many of Chu Liuxiang's colorful scenes in the original work, leaving only one true heroine, and the others can only be regarded as confidante, or the female character likes Chu Liuxiang's setting.
The Legend of Chu Liuxiang is a story in the nature of a unit drama. It is divided into the first 3 and the last 5. There are 8 stories in total. It will definitely not be finished in one shot, so there must be choices.
Chen Linfeng selected 6 stories: "The Fragrance of the Sea of Blood", "The Great Desert", "Thrush", "The Legend of Ghost Love", "The Legend of the Bat" and "The Legend of Peach Blossom".
The latter three stories are all in "The New Biography of Chu Liuxiang", so Chen Linfeng can just copy them.
Other than deleting some sex scenes, he made few changes to the first three stories.
In mid-December, Shi Xiaolong had returned from filming and was browsing information online.
During this period, the early publicity of "The Promise" was overwhelming. After the movie was released, the reputation seemed to be good, and Shi Xiaolong couldn't help but pay attention to its related information.
"Xiao Feng, in a few days, let's go to the cinema to watch "The Promise"?"
Chen Linfeng shivered violently, "I'm not going, you have to go by yourself."
He had already gone to the premiere and watched it once in his previous life. He couldn't eat it a third time. It was too disgusting. .
Shi Xiaolong said doubtfully, "Why are you so crazy? This is Director Chen's new film!"
"I don't deserve it, and I won't understand it even if I go."
