Chapter 789: Creating a Peerless Hero [Please Give Me a Monthly Pass]

The concept of fantasy blockbusters has not yet emerged, but at this time in the field of literature, so-called historical fictional novels have appeared, such as Huang Yi's "Looking for Qin", "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", etc., as for his Although novels such as "Legend of the Great Swordsman" and "Interstellar Prodigal Son" are relatively good-looking, they contain too much description from the waist down, making them difficult to rank among the best.

There are many novels similar to this, but the soil for original literature has not yet been matured, and the payment methods for online publishers are not satisfactory. Coupled with the impact of unfavorable factors such as piracy, the only way out for most original authors is to Show your presence on Flashline and earn some fame, or switch to the traditional Chinese publishing market.

After all, during this period, the domestic simplified publishing market still had a repulsive attitude towards these original literatures, but the booksellers in the pirated market were relatively able to keep pace with the times, and basically all the better works could be purchased at street stalls. Of course, this profit has nothing to do with the author.

Fan Wubing obviously hopes to shoot a series of fantasy or historical fiction masterpieces to trigger a new wave of ratings in China.

As a temporary target, he has set his sights on Huang Yi's "Looking for Qin". The main reason for choosing this blockbuster is that the factors of gods and monsters in it can be ignored. It is just a display of personal heroism after time travel. It should be Can suit most people's tastes.

As for another reason, he was really disgusted by the later Hong Kong version of "Looking for Qin". There were too many deleted parts in the Hong Kong version of "Looking for Qin", which always made people feel like the whole drama had been castrated. It lacks atmosphere and historical dignity.

Not to mention anything else, just the treatment of Wu Yanfang's character in the play makes people feel depressed. This is the most beautiful and richest woman in the Zhao Kingdom. Her clear water brings out hibiscus and her aura is overwhelming. They all say that women are... Wu Tingfang plays the role of a man's bridge to success, allowing Xiang Shaolong to quickly establish his position in the Wu family and defeat his opponents, and also makes the Wu family become Xiang Shaolong's biggest backing, but even without Wu Tingfang , Xiang Shaolong will also marry Wu Tingfang, this is a must.

In that era, Xiang Shaolong had to have the support of a financial group to rely on. The Wu family can be said to be Xiang Shaolong's safe haven. Although Xiang Shaolong did have strong utilitarian motives when he took Wu Tingfang away from Lian Jin, the married life of the couple was not unsatisfactory.

Even though Wu Tingfang was a bit unruly and willful as a daughter, and she was once blindly infatuated with Prince Charming Lian Jin, but after being kidnapped by Xiang Shaolong, she gradually grew into a gentle and considerate lady, a good wife and mother, and a devoted husband. For your own sake.

Compared with the poor woman in the Hong Kong version of "Looking for Qin" who ran away from home and suffered hardships throughout the whole story, and did not play any role except causing trouble, Fan Wubing felt that he still preferred this woman who had never experienced any storms and had always lived. The little wife who lives a stable and happy life and consistently provides her husband with a solid and reliable home.

As for the performance of other female characters and the main characters in the drama, the Hong Kong version of "Looking for Qin" is also useless. It can be said that it completely ruined an excellent entertainment novel. In short, Fan Fangbing believes that Hong Kong dramas are quite competent in acting as urban soap operas. , but when it comes to shooting this kind of historical fictional scene that shows a grand scene, you don’t have that kind of foundation and strength.

Just like in many costume dramas, Hong Kong dramas lack the grand scenes and momentum, and the actors also appear to have weak skills when playing the roles of emperors and generals, without the slightest aura of 38, and the facial makeup is also It's formatted, and you can tell the good guys and the bad guys at a glance. As for the war scenes, it's even more pitiful. A dozen people and seven or eight guns can complete a big battle. It's really off-putting.

It is for this reason that

Later, many productions became cooperation between the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan. In fact, although they have good idol actors, they lack the overall vision and the ability to realize the scenes in the play. After all, this requires high-cost investment and generous However, in a small place like Hong Kong, it is obviously difficult to achieve these ten wishes.

"If you want to make a film, make it a big production!" Fan Wubing once said to Xia Donghai, "Generally speaking, Chinese people still advocate individual heroism, so there is a saying that ten Chinese people are one dragon. A group of Chinese people are like a swarm of worms, that's the truth. Therefore, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a little more passionate, a little more leaky, and making the scene bigger. "In this case, the increase in investment will not be just a little bit," Xia Donghai said, stroking his head.

Although New Silk Road Entertainment is currently considered a very powerful and influential company in the industry, it has yet to produce any powerful works in the production of TV series. At present, the company has more and more artists, including many famous ones. It is the right time for talented and creative artists to demonstrate the overall strength of the company through a series of giant TV series.

"You can invest a little more. Once the film comes out, you can make it back by broadcasting it on a few more channels. Besides, this kind of historical-themed film is also very popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas, so you don't have to worry about whether it will be a hit or not." Fan Wubing thought. very clear.

At this time, the Internet was not powerful enough to influence the TV market. If you want to make a name for yourself and establish a reputation as a leader in the industry, there is no better opportunity than now, especially since many excellent entertainment novels are being released one after another. The possibility of obtaining sufficient film and television subjects has become greater.

At present, the cooperation between Fan Investment Group and CCTV is still in the honeymoon period. Currently, CCTV is not strong enough to cover the sky with one hand. Coupled with Fan Wubing's own influence, it is still possible to continue to influence CCTV for about ten years. , As for what will happen in the future, it is difficult to say, so Fan Wubing also feels that it is necessary to take advantage of this opportunity to plan carefully and build his various businesses into first-class industry leaders.

In order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the National Day, New Silk Road Entertainment Company is filming a war-themed blockbuster. It is about to be completed at this time, but it can be used as a gift. It can also be regarded as a tendentious attitude of Fan Investment Group towards senior officials. At least I won't use any soap opera to deal with them. The guiding role of the main channel of public opinion propaganda must still be reflected.

"So, what should be the theme of our TV series selection?" Xia Donghai asked Fan Wubing.

"It's very simple, it's to create an unparalleled hero!" Fan Wubing replied.

Precisely because of the long-lasting peace, Chinese talents need unparalleled heroes to inspire themselves. Even if it is just an addiction to enhance the sense of substitution, it is beneficial and harmless. For people who feel more and more helpless in the real world, in They get some relief in TV movies, which is indeed beneficial to the country and the people.

Naturally, you can’t go wrong when choosing materials based on this theme.

Fan Wubing even thought of shooting a series of anti-war-themed film and television works and war-fighting works. If he thought about it, there are still many movies that can be shot, but the choice of actors is important. After spending some time thinking, it seems that I am afraid that I won’t be able to survive just by relying on the artists in my own company.

Fan Wubing took a week to write out the rough outlines of the scripts for "Bright Sword" and "Latent", and then threw them to Xia Donghai, asking him to find someone to perfect them, and then wrote "No. 51 Military Station" I dug out the information about "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp" and looked at it carefully, and then I considered negotiating with the author to try to get a remake.

After Xia Donghai read Fan Wubing's script, he said that although the script was very good and the concept was novel, he was worried that it would be difficult to obtain a license after such a TV series was produced. After all, some things would conflict with public opinion. Couldn't pass the review.

"You don't need to worry about this. Who am I, Fan Wuying said? Can you still not handle this matter?

I think of some things that happened later. For example, CCTV never broadcasts fantasy TV series, but some related households can get through the joints and broadcast crude fantasy-themed TV series, and broadcast them over and over again, which is enough to make people feel uncomfortable. People understand the trick.

It's not that these things can't be done, but it depends on how strong your relationship is. As long as the boss expresses support, the following operations really don't matter. Needless to say, as long as Fan Wubing runs over and talks to the person in charge of publicity work. If a member of the Standing Committee talks about how good his film is, then if he mentions it casually, CCTV will come rushing over and demand the right to broadcast his TV series.

"To be honest, I actually really want to get you to film a TV series. It's definitely a gimmick, and it can even save a lot of publicity expenses." Xia Donghai said to Fan Wubing with some emotion.

Fan Wubing flatly refused, "That's absolutely impossible. I can't stand restraints. Occasionally singing makes me feel good. But boring activities like making movies and TV shows are unbearable." , don’t think about this. You still need to discover more new talents, especially male actors. Discovery and training in this area are very important.”

New Silk Road Entertainment currently has a lot of artists, but overall there are more outstanding female artists, while there are very few male artists who can match them and hold the show. This is a big problem, and the main reason is still Because the recent development direction is mainly singing, there are not many development opportunities in the film and television industry.

Fan Wubing saw this shortcoming and asked Xia Donghai to accept more scripts. Even if it was an ordinary drama, as long as it had commercial value, even if it did not make much profit, he could still consider filming it. It’s time to train the artists’ interpretation skills.

In this case, there are still a lot of scripts that can be filmed. Xia Donghai also told Fan Wubing that he was unwilling to accept ordinary scripts in the past, mainly because he was worried that it would ruin his reputation, but now it seems that actors without practice Their growth rate will obviously be very slow. This was actually a mistake in the past.

The two discussed it and felt that it was necessary to establish a more effective cooperation mechanism with domestic first-line actors, so as not to have a good script but not find the right actors to complete it.

In fact, the scripts Fan Wubing provided to Xia Donghai were basically men's dramas. Most of the female characters were vases. Although they also needed to have their own characteristics, the requirements for acting skills were not very high. The only exception was " "Latent", whether this drama can be successful depends largely on whether the heroine's performance fee is sufficient and whether the performance is outstanding. This made Fan Wubing think about it for a while, and finally settled on Feng Ping. body.

However, he also had very strict requirements for Feng Ping. He said nothing else and asked her to go to the countryside of Hebei for a month and do nothing else. He just took her to the poorest village and experienced it. Learn about other people’s lives and customs.

Fan Wubing knew very well that if there was anyone in New Silk Road Entertainment who could play the heroine, it would be Feng Ping. However, Feng Ping did not have much rural experience, so she needed more experience. If she could inspire her toughness, she would definitely be successful in playing this role.

In short, although the scripts provided by Fan Wubing all have heroes as the protagonists, there are still some differences. One is a war theme with large scenes, and the other is a spy theme with bloodless killings. The two scripts can be said to complement each other and fully consider the preferences of different groups of people. But in general, everyone can still predict the popularity of this kind of drama. After all, we have been influenced when we were young, and we have a natural love for war-themed film and television dramas.

However, Xia Donghai did not have any opinions on Fan Wubing's decision. He believed that too many war-themed TV dramas would cause aesthetic fatigue, which would directly lead to low ratings. There have been precedents like this before.

However, Fan Wubing also has his own views on this. Don't you know that there is a habit in this world called following the trend? Authors and readers all have this habitual reading pattern. Once they are interested in a certain type of novel or film and television drama, they will certainly have a strong interest in similar works within a period of time. At this time, if there are works that can be shown off, it will be of great benefit to us in terms of publicity and promotion, as well as the difficulty of increasing the ratings. Xia Donghai thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the case. It seems that he has not studied these issues enough recently, so he ignored this issue.

Could it be that in this era, it is really time to create a peerless hero again?
