Listen to the three big characters coming from Shu Sing's waxy voice.
"City Linking Strategy"!
A smile appeared on Zhang Yuan's lips.
"Sure enough, there will be plenty of help for those who are in good ways and few if they are not."
"If I had not sincerely helped Shu Chang and solved his problems, people would not have thought of me if good things happened now."< br>
The next day, Zhang Yuan rushed to the agreed location to attend the audition for the crew of "Lian Cheng Jue".
If we say that the theme of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is "the great chivalrous person serves the country and the people".
The theme of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is "Asking what love is in the world, and teaching us how to make love between life and death."
The theme of "Liancheng Jue" can be summarized in a sentence from "The Three-Body Problem 2" written by Liu Cixin.
“Black, so fucking dark!”
Mr. Jin has many works, large and small, long and short stories, a total of fifteen.
"The flying snow shoots the white deer in the sky, and the laughing book hero leans on the blue mandarin duck", the "lian" in it is this "Liancheng Jue".
But "The Secret of the City" is a very special one among Mr. Jin's many works.
Many people call Mr. Jin’s martial arts works “adult fairy tales”.
Adventures, magical powers, beauties, pleasures and grudges... these are all things that make people yearn for and want to freely roam the world written by Jin Lao.
But I am afraid that no reader will yearn for the world of "Liancheng Jue".
An adventure, yes.
Magical power, yes.
Beauty, yes.
But at what cost?
Guo Jing, Zhang Wuji, Xu Zhu, Linghu Chong, their stories are full of charisma, cheating all the way, Yang Guo is a little bit miserable, and has a broken arm.
But if Yang Guo's experience is compared with that of Di Yun, the male protagonist of "The Legend of Liancheng", it would be like "entering a pig breeding station with your butt naked, are you worthy?"
Other martial arts novels , there are a few bad guys in the world.
In "Liancheng Jue", it is the bad guys who make up the world.
Originally, "Liancheng Jue" had a better name, called "Su Xin Sword". It was first serialized in a publication called "Southeast Asia Weekly", which was a bonus book of "Ming Pao" .
But Jin Lao probably thought that after writing it, he also felt that the name "Su Xin Sword" was too small and fresh, and it really didn't fit the theme of the story, so he changed the name.
In the end, Mr. Jin felt that the protagonist was too miserable, so he specially changed the ending for the male protagonist, allowing Di Yun and Shuisheng to meet in the snow valley and spend the rest of their lives together.
Zhang Yuan had only one feeling when he watched this TV series when he was young.
Afraid!
Watching a martial arts movie for the first time, I broke out in a cold sweat and covered my eyes with my hands!
Horror movies may not have this power.
"Wall Building Master" Wan Zhenshan, "Disguise Master" Yan Daping, "Backstabbing King" Qi Changfa, "BBQ Master" Hua Tiegan...
Don't talk about children , adults will be left with a psychological shadow after reading it.
In this book, Jin Lao maximizes the ugliness of human nature and exposes it nakedly in the text, with a kind of beauty that does not care about the life and death of the readers.
It was scary to watch when I was a kid. Will it be better to watch it again as an adult?
Not really.
After Zhang Yuan read A Thousand Sails and traveled around the world, he looked back at "The Secret of the City" and felt his back became even colder.
When I was young I thought it was a story, but when I grow up I realize it is reality.
The human heart is black!
When Jin Lao created "The Secret of the City", he obviously had the idea of breaking through the shackles of his previous works.
After walking and thinking, Zhang Yuan arrived at an office building in the Imperial Capital, got on the elevator, and arrived at the agreed upon location.
He just wanted to make progress when he met an acquaintance.
“Brother Wu Yue!”
He waved and shouted, and a middle-sized man with a kind face turned around and smiled.
This person is Wu Yue whom I met at the wine table before.
Like Jet Li, Zhao Wenzhuo and Wu Jing, this actor is a professional martial arts athlete turned actor.
But the difference between this one and the other three is that he is truly a master of both culture and sports!
In terms of martial arts, it’s hard to tell how good a fight will be, but Wu Yue has a title that is envied by countless warriors, “the youngest winner of the martial arts level”!
Wu Jing’s mouth watered when he saw it.
Thesis: In 1996, he accompanied his girlfriend to take the Nortel exam and was admitted. However, because he had to participate in the National Games, he gave up his admission qualifications.
In the same year, he won the first place in Bajiquan in the "National Individual Elite Competition".
In 1997, in order to be safe, he took the exams of the three major schools of Chinese Drama, Nortel and Military Arts.
As a result, the Chinese opera teacher took his hand and shook it hard.
“Don’t go to Nortel and Military Arts, come to us!”
Because he directly won the first place in the major of Chinese drama that year, if he went to Nortel, China The drama is so shameless.
Wu, he is number one.
Wen, I am still number one.
What is a master (tactical retreat).
"Hey, you're here too!" Wu Yue saw him and immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face.
Although this person is very capable, he is actually quite arrogant. After all, he became famous at a young age and can make others envious of any of his achievements. Arrogance is normal.
However, this man also had shortcomings, average appearance, and average luck. In the end, the most well-known character was not only not the martial arts hero, but Cai Shugen in "Underground Traffic Station"...
"I haven't seen you for a while, Feeling energetic again." Wu Yue patted his shoulder hard, making a loud bang.
Zhang Yuan felt through the pain coming from his shoulder that the other party was really exerting his strength.
“I heard that it was you who seduced the heartthrob of our class?”
Oh, that’s it.
Wu Yue and Cheng Hao are in the same class.
“She didn’t take any fancy to all the handsome men and women in our class, but she fell into the hands of your boy.” Wu Yue said through gritted teeth.
In the 97th level of Chinese dramas, there are a few people who are not eager for Cheng’s good health, and Wu Yue is the same.
"By the way, what role are you auditioning for today?" he asked again.
Zhang Yuanxin said that in the entire cast of "Lian Cheng Jue", there are only a few roles suitable for him and suitable for his age.
What he wants is of course the protagonist Di Yun!
Obviously, their goals are in conflict.
Whether in terms of performance experience or martial arts, he is no match for Wu Yue.
But I am not without my advantages.
Height, appearance, age, he has the upper hand.
Besides, he also has an internal agent.
"Brother Yuan, you are here." He and Wu Yue were chatting when a soft and weak voice called from the side.
"Brother Yue, I have something to do, please do your work first."
"Okay, I wish you a successful audition and see you on the set later."
Until now, Wu Yue had not realized the danger. He thought Zhang Yuan was here to audition for the male supporting role.
Following Shu Chang's pace, they arrived at the door of an office.
"Brother Yuan, you are ready." Shu Chang asked worriedly: "It's only one night, is it too short?" "That's enough." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile. .
Seeing that he was confident, Shu Chang was a little relieved, but his expression was still tangled and very worried.
Then he seemed to have made some decision, and his eyes gradually became firm.
"I'll wait for you outside."
Zhang Yuan wanted to let her go to rest, but he was horrified that he failed her good intentions, so he nodded in agreement.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door. When he heard the answer from inside, he pushed the door open and entered.
The room is not big, only one person can sit there.
The man inside looks very rough, his hair, eyebrows, and beard are almost connected together.
He was also dressed very casually, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. The lenses looked like those in cartoons, with circles of lines on the corners. You could tell at a glance that they were very dark.
This person had a cigarette between his fingers, and the ashtray on the table was filled with cigarette butts. The entire small room was filled with smoke, making it almost difficult to see the person clearly.
The person who smokes this cigarette is Sai Yuqian.
He is the director of the film, Wang Xinming.
Although this guy is rough, he has won the "Flying Award" four times so far, and has masterpieces such as "The Cause of Laughter", "Mountains Don't Turn, Waters Turn", and "Swallow Li San" to his name.
The year before last, he bought the copyright of Jin Lao's work "Xia Ke Xing" and filmed 40 episodes of the TV series, which became one of the most expensive TV series that year.
With the successful experience of "Xia Ke Xing", he worked hard and spent another 400,000 Hong Kong dollars to win the adaptation copyright of "Liancheng Jue".
Some people may say that the copyright of Jin Lao’s works is only 400,000, which is too cheap.
Then there are cheaper ones, such as Bearded Man’s "Dragon Movie", the copyright is only one yuan.
Of course, that is the face of Jin Lao Ma Yang’s mother, and Big Beard is just borrowing the copyright of CCTV to film.
As for why the copyright of "Liancheng Jue" is cheap, you can find out the clues by comparing it with other works.
Counting later generations, including TV series and movies, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been filmed for a total of 11 versions.
Twelve versions of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were filmed.
"The Swordsman" and "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" also had 12 versions.
What about "Lian Cheng Jue"?
Even this edition, which has not yet started filming, has only three in total...
Even Wang Xinming's previous film "Xia Ke Xing" has more films than him, with a total of 6 editions.
Then why doesn’t this old man go to film "The Condor" or "The Condor"?
Just like when filling out the application form before the college entrance examination, why doesn’t everyone apply for Tsinghua University and Peking University?
You think he doesn’t want to!
It’s not because all the copyrights have been snatched away, and there’s not even a chance to make any use of it.
So, I can only pick up some copyrights that "no one wants" and use them for filming.
The straight road has been taken away by the bearded people, so he can only take detours.
As the saying goes, fast in corners is really fast. Who can’t step on the accelerator in a straight line?
The cool thing about this guy is that these niche copyrights can shine in his hands!
Originally, he had a good idea. The previous "Xia Ke Xing" was a great success. Speaking of which, the protagonist of that film was Cheng Hao's classmate named Wu Jian.
Why did Zhang Yuan persuade Shu Chang not to give up the opportunity to study in Chinese opera?
Look at Cheng Hao, who graduated from China National Theater Academy. In the entire Chinese entertainment industry, you can find classmates and classmates wherever you go. This is a network.
It is easy to enjoy the shade under the big trees, and there are many hozens on the big branches. This is why.
Wang Xinming relied on his successful experience and asked for his own money to win the copyright of "The Legend of City Links".
Mr. Jin probably sighed, this guy with a beard is really brave, he dared to take pictures of this thing.
He wanted to be nice, but as soon as he started making preparations, he was hit hard!
This person originally planned to start the production at the end of 2002, and then... the Guangdong Flu came.
After more than half a year of delay, the country relaxed filming controls for crews, and then he regrouped and planned to make a comeback.
But at this time, Inner Mongolia TV Station, as an investor, stepped forward.
"Director Wang, we know you are in a hurry, but please don't be anxious yet."
For more than half a year, the TV station thought over and over again and felt that this play could not be broadcast.
It’s not that Director Wang is incompetent, but looking at the Jin Yong dramas that are so popular nowadays, people are happy with grudges, and they find the secret book when they fall off a cliff or into a cave, and they cheat all the way.
But here, in addition to being framed, the protagonist is beaten three times a day, fearing that the audience won't like it.
What the TV station said makes sense, and its prediction of market trends is also correct.
So they wanted Director Wang to revise the script so that at least it wouldn't be so miserable, or maybe it would be a bit rewarding if it ended badly.
This made Wang Xinming completely numb!
After finally surviving the flu, I was asked to change the script again.
Can this script be changed?
I can’t change it, I don’t have the ability to know how to cut it!
How many screenwriters have you changed in one term?
Changing the soup does not change the medicine.
Most of the screenwriters hired by the TV station copied the routines from Jin Laobie's works to this drama, and it was considered complete.
But the core of the work "The Secret of the City" is too special and completely incompatible with Mr. Jin's usual routine.
After reading these revisions, Director Wang felt increasingly that nothing could be changed.
Why does he smoke like this? Is it because he was arguing with the TV station and the draft was never completely finalized? I'm worried.
And this matter was conveyed to his ears by his "internal response" Shu Chang.
Of course Shu Chang understands his strengths and wants to help Zhang Yuan win the leading role.
After all, the role she has set, Shui Sheng, is paired with the male lead, Di Yun.
The two of them have collaborated twice, in "The Golden Family" and "Dragon", but they didn't have any starring roles together. Shu Chang thought, he couldn't miss it this time.
I greeted him in advance.
"Hello, Director Wang, I am Zhang Yuan."
"Ang, it's you." The rough man replied in an angry voice, and at the same time pushed his heavy eyes, and felt explain.
The appearance is quite good, but with this look, can he write the script?
In his mind, screenwriters must look like otakus.
Everyone else is like a toad, but a white swan jumped out here, which is really unsociable.
"I heard Shu Chang say that you have your own opinions on the script?"
"Do you have relevant experience in the industry before?" Director Wang asked.
Zhang Yuan first told everyone about his performance experience, and Wang Xinming just nodded slightly without much expression.
Of course, he was quite surprised that a young man who had just debuted had so many achievements.
But Shu Chang had already played for him, so it was nothing new.
"Recently, I have been working as a screenwriter consultant for the crew directed by Feng Xiaogang just now, so I have had a little exposure to it."
Wang Xinming, who was smoking, shook his finger.
Shu Chang never said anything about this!
Pull the tiger skin and pull the flag. The flag pulled by Zhang Yuan was big enough to make Wang Xinming's tiger body tremble.
"Okay." The suspicion on Director Wang's face faded a lot, and he said gently: "Then tell me what you think."
Zhang Yuan thought for a moment, cleared his mind, and The thoughts that had been prepared for a long time were spoken word by word... (End of this chapter)
