Chapter 345 The Forcibly Made TV Series: New Year
From the beginning, when Mark saw that the background of the protagonist in the script was unknown, he knew that the director had the ambition to make a sequel.
This is a good thing. He also hopes to make it into a series, so that he doesn't have to bet on Chen's future. Now this movie can become a good resume.
After the props, there is scene selection.
There are some scenes on the streets of Paris in the film, which need to be shot in France.
However, some scenes that do not have the characteristics of landmarks can only be shot in Ailiken.
Mark had already selected a few places, and Chen Linfeng spent the next few days deciding on the most suitable location.
Finally, and most importantly, the actors.
Mark gave Chen Linfeng a surprise.
In the early stage of the plot, there will be a famous singer, and the protagonist is responsible for serving as his temporary security.
In order to show off the skills of the protagonist in this plot, Mark actually found Taylor Swift as a guest actor.
Although this well-known Taylor Swift has just emerged at this time, she is not someone who can be invited casually.
"Mark, are you sure she only charges for the guest appearance?"
"Of course, we can sign the contract as soon as you agree."
Chen Linfeng said in surprise, "You're a bit beyond my expectations."
Mark shook his head, "Chen, you are also responsible for this."
"Mine?" Chen Linfeng was a little confused.
"Yes, you are not unknown in the American music circle."
Indeed, several pure music albums have received high professional evaluations.
If Mark has something to say, "Maybe coupled with your undefeated record, those singers also want to get lucky."
No, it's just pure superstition, right?
Also, how on earth did you tell me that I sound like a mascot?
But as long as the result is good, Chen Linfeng doesn’t worry too much.
The other actors are mainly the male protagonist’s ex-wife, partners and colleagues, and the villain.
Although these roles are official roles, they are not particularly critical.
Chen Linfeng only made sure that their basic skills were good, and left the rest to Mark to operate.
A few days later, Fanglong also brought his team to Los Angeles.
In the previous life of "Taken", the action scenes were not really good, and the shots and editing in this aspect were also obviously poor.
The Fanglong team has been filming for so many years, and they are best at action scenes, and they are even better at handling multi-person fighting scenes.
They even developed a special shooting and editing method.
Therefore, the preparation of the movie is indispensable without Fang Long's participation.
Fang Long is not the only person who spends so much salary and gives Yinghuang some investment.
In the following period, Chen Linfeng and Fang Long discussed in detail the fighting and chasing scenes in the film.
In the original work, when Liam Neeson chased the gangster who abducted his daughter, the gangster was so agile that he dared to jump off the viaduct (there was a car buffering him below).
On the contrary, Liam Neeson did not jump and could only stand on the viaduct and watch.
If the gangster hadn't walked a few steps and was hit by a car, he would have been run away.
This kind of plot setting is totally unreasonable when it comes to Fang Long.
There is also a car chase scene in which a prostitution camp of the gang is initially found, and the protagonist escapes with a rescued girl, which is also not satisfactory.
At least there is not enough tension, and the shots are messy. In addition, it is night and in a shanty town, and the lighting is not enough, so the look and feel is not very good.
This may have something to do with the director. The director of the original film is a director who has been a photographer for many years. "Taken" is only the second film in his career, so he probably lacks relevant experience.
And these are not problems at all in today's crew. It can even be said that these are their strengths.
If you look at Fang Long's movies in the past, you will know that the car chase and fight scenes, as well as the corresponding shots and editing, have always been the highlights.
And Chen Linfeng's team has been top-notch in terms of lighting since their debut.
When Chen Linfeng wrote the script, these paragraphs were not specified in detail, leaving it to Fang Long to play freely.
It’s not just for the film quality itself.
As a result of Fanglong's personality traits, he always likes to have everything in hand.
If no important work is left to him, it will be unsightly and there may even be conflicts.
In this way, while restraining, giving Fanglong some creative freedom may better stimulate his potential.
Fanglong lived up to his expectations. He discussed with his team for almost half a month and handed in a good answer.
Contains a series of exciting chasing, parkour and fighting content.
Only if the protagonist chases closely and the villain only runs away without paying attention to the surrounding situation, is it more reasonable to be hit by a car and die.
"This is just a preliminary plan, and it will be further improved later."
Chen Linfeng calculated it carefully and said worriedly, "The time is a bit exceeded. It turns out that it is less than two minutes. Now it takes at least 5 minutes.”
If you take into account that some subsequent action scenes may increase the duration, the total may be at least 10 minutes longer.
There are also some new additions, including some mainland hotel settings, so the total duration may exceed 120 minutes.
This will seriously affect the movie's revenue, and it can't exceed 2 hours anyway.
After listening to the narration, Fang Long became anxious, "Xiao Chen, this scene..."
Chen Linfeng reached out to stop him, "I know, your design is wonderful, and I can't bear to give it up. Don't worry, it won't get stuck." Fang Long breathed a sigh of relief.
He has read the movie script carefully many times and it is indeed wonderful. This is the main reason why he is willing to follow the command.
When it was time to use a gun, Fang Long did not express an opinion.
Even in some torture and murder scenes that were obviously different from his previous style, he restrained himself as much as possible.
But he still didn’t want to completely lose his past expertise.
Chen Linfeng thought the same way. In inviting Fang Long, a large part of it was because of his complement to the work.
In his previous life, the global box office was more than 200 million US dollars. He did not take it seriously and hoped to improve the overall box office by improving the quality of the work.
Since it’s difficult to compress the exciting scenes, well...
The only thing we can do is to think of a way to compress the previous plot a little bit.
The setting of the protagonist’s ex-husband is a bit slow.
Originally, the greatest contribution of the stepfather of the protagonist’s daughter was to have enough money to arrange a plane to fly to France in time to carry out rescue.
But after the introduction of the Continental Hotel setting, these can be done by the Continental Hotel.
The protagonist's past experience allows the Continental Hotel to help arrange flights.
Then the scene of the rich stepfather seems redundant.
Originally, in the third part of the previous life "The Rescue", the stepfather had a lot of scenes.
But the reputation of the third part is not good.
He originally planned to only refer to two of the previous movies, and starting from the third one, he could directly sew the plots of other action movies.
After careful consideration, Chen Linfeng found Mark and canceled this plot. Naturally, the cast will also be adjusted.
In the evening, Liu Qianqian called as usual.
"Xiao Feng, "Sword and Sword 3" has started broadcasting."
"Really," Chen Linfeng asked with great interest, "What are the audience reviews?"
Liu Qianqian Silently said, "You are still thinking about this matter. It has just started broadcasting not long ago. How can we know the specific evaluation so soon?"
"Oh, that's what you said. Who do you play in the play? I should be able to tell you now."
Chen Linfeng had asked about this before, but Sissi didn't say it at the time.
When Liu Qianqian thought about this, she wanted to complain, "Mr. Cai wanted me to play Fairy Xiyao at first. I thought it was just a guest appearance, and Xiyao is not a guest appearance.
Later she I deliberately added a scene of a descendant of Nuwa, letting Zhao Ling'er come out to guide Zixuan, which is similar to Li Xiaoyao's appearance." "Can it be like this?" Chen Linfeng's eyes widened, "Isn't Zhao Ling'er dead? ?”
"Yes, so the script says that Zhao Ling'er appears through blood inheritance and is a spiritual body."
Chen Linfeng exclaimed, "In order for you to make a cameo, I really know how to make it up, but this is normal. The plot of Xian San originally took place before Xian Yi, and Li Xiaoyao could come out, so why can’t Zhao Ling’er.”
“But it still feels weird.” Liu Qianqian has played several generations of Xian Sword games, so she really doesn’t know much about it. adapt.
But so far, the audience feels pretty good. Most people have never played the game and don’t think there is any problem with it.
"Chinese Sword 1" was filmed before "Chinese Sword 3", and the timeline is in front, so there is nothing wrong with it.
Even many viewers who watched "Sword and Sword 1" were inspired by it, and Liu Qianqian's appearance was highly praised.
Cai Yinong’s goal has been achieved.
It’s just that game fans are probably going to scold me even more harshly.
Chen Linfeng was concerned about the ratings of "Sword and Sword 3".
After all, Liu Qianqian participated in the guest appearance, and she is also paying attention to it.
"So far, it's quite good. Although it was first broadcast on Lychee Channel, the ratings of this drama are not bad in other places. Many places have topped the ratings for the month. For example, in the Guangnan region, the highest ratings in some cities even exceeded 14%.”
“That’s really not bad,” Chen Linfeng nodded.
The highest regional ratings and the national average ratings are completely different concepts.
But it can reach up to 14%, which is average and not too bad.
Liu Qianqian said, "I also noticed a piece of news."
"Well, you say."
"Some media said that this year is similar to 2005, and it is also a year when the quality of TV series has exploded.
At the beginning of the year, there were "Reply" and "My Team" "Long My Group", "Xian San" is now airing, and the ratings are also very good
The next ones are "New Three Kingdoms" and "New Red Mansion", and they also include "Sherlock". It is said that the TV drama market will definitely become more and more developed in the future."
Liu Qianqian mentioned this because of this phenomenon, and what Chen Linfeng said before, the TV drama market will gradually decline from 2007 to 2008. , some don’t quite match.
"Ah this..."
Chen Linfeng was a little speechless. Without his influence, it would have been like this.
The dramas mentioned above, except "Sword and Sword 3" and "My Leader, My Team".
Others either appeared because of Chen Linfeng or were indirectly influenced by him.
Like "New Three Kingdoms", according to the information released so far, it is definitely not as good as the old version, but it fully has the qualities of an excellent TV series.
It wasn't supposed to be like this.
Does this count as a slap in the face?
Chen Linfeng could only forcefully redeem his respect, "Maybe it won't work next year. Of course, this has to exclude Long Lin's drama."
