Chapter 452 Hot Discussion
In fact, "Seven Swordsmen" was aired first!
Let's be honest, the TV series version of "Seven Swordsmen" is indeed good. Whether it is the fighting scenes or the emotional scenes, coupled with the wonderful soundtrack, Xu Ke's first TV series has been unanimously recognized by the audience and martial arts fans...
Then there was news that Wang Xiaolie would direct "Heroes"...
——Jin Yong seals the pen. The ancient dragon has passed away, and there are only heroes in the world!
Unfortunately, except for die-hard martial arts fans, no one pays attention...
Shen Xudong knew this when he was interviewed.
Let’s put the facts into perspective. As soon as “The Chronicles of Heroes” became influential, Mainland China published the first six chapters of “The Chronicles of Heroes” (a total of 3 volumes). The first printing was 20,000 sets. I don’t know how many copies were sold. Anyway, the publisher has no plans to publish more. publishing.
As for "There are only heroes in the world", even if you are a core fan, a die-hard fan, or an ashes fan who has read "Heroes", if you have to say that the first six chapters are logically coherent, the language is timeless, and the story of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is a novel, then... I think what we should read is not a book!
Why isn't it adapted?
The story of the TV series is like this. When the copyright for the whole story of "Heroes" was first purchased, it was scheduled to be 60 episodes. Then I started writing the script and realized that it was too big. It became 120 episodes. The budget was not enough, so I filmed a few Forget about the flowers...
Therefore, Shen Xudong's answer was very simple: "I haven't watched "Heroes"..."
As for the expectations for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Shen Xudong said: "The Condor Heroes should be the last Jin Yong drama I wrote for Zhang Jizhong... From a script perspective, I think it is the closest to the original work. Of course I hope it will be a hit. !”
"Mr. Jin Yong has written fourteen novels, including Flying Snow and Shooting White Deer, and the Laughing Book of Heroes Relying on Biyuan... I participated in "Tianlong" and "The Condor", and I am very satisfied!"
"I think the undertone of "The Condor" is sad.
Guo Xiang traveled across most of the Central Plains in search of Yang Guo to no avail, so she became a monk alone and started a sect; the honest and warm-hearted Daxia Guo, the smart and clever Gang Leader Huang, and even the Miss Guo who was loved or hated, and even the loyal and sincere young lady who was crushed by the protagonist. Brother Wu and Guo Polu, who had zero presence, were all destroyed and killed.
There will be no more Five Jue in later generations, and no one will mention the Five Jue.
There is no Jiangnan Seven Monsters. There is no Peach Blossom Island or Baihua Valley...
The Condor is not the end of the legend of several heroes, but the end of the story of the heroes of an era. "
"The most unsatisfactory things in life are eighty-nine out of ten..."
"As for the actors... I won't go into details. I can't make the decision. So, later on when I made "The Great Butler", I had full control over the actors!"
"Is it because of the conflict with Zhang Jizhong?"
"That's not the case... He is a producer and has his own considerations. I am just a screenwriter..."
Well, when "The Condor" first aired, there were a lot of curses...
The main character played by Tinker Bell is Little Yang Guo. I don’t know if it’s a problem with his own understanding or a problem with the production team...
Most of the comments are, 'Xiao Yang Guo is not a good actor. It's not that he doesn't act well, but that he looks too good..."
Indeed, Tinker Bell’s appearance is completely different from that of Yang Guo!
However, Huang Xiaoming is not much better - "Huang Xiaoming is more heroic than handsome. He is more suitable to play Yang Guo 16 years later. The one 16 years ago was too reluctant." "Huang Xiaoming's version of Yang Guo is a bit like Ma Jingtao, but not as good as Ma Jing Tao is just exaggerating, he always makes a fuss about 'ah, ah, ah', which is really annoying."
It was only after Xiao Longnu came out that the reputation gradually changed.
It can be said that all the dividends from "The Condor" were given to Liu Yifei!
…
Regarding "The Condor", Shen Xudong wrote several promotional articles and also reprinted them on his blog...
An analysis that only focuses on the original work itself, such as "Guo Fu and Yuan Ziyi, the top two annoying ghosts of Jin Yong's martial arts", "The master-disciple relationship between Xiao Guo Xiang and Jinlun Dharma King", "Look at the white clouds gathering and dispersing. We get together again, separation and separation in life, and the same thing happens again..."
Altogether, there are about a dozen articles, all of which were written before. I sorted them out and submitted them directly to "BJ Youth"...
Then?
Then I was busy with my own things...
Whether "The Condor" is good or bad has little to do with him. In fact, except for his fans, few people pay attention to the fact that he is the screenwriter of "The Condor"...
Most of the audience's attention is on the actors.
Shen Xudong is too lazy to take advantage of the popularity anymore, the filming of "Life Events" is about to begin!
The third film produced by the company, written and produced by Shen Xudong, starring all mainland actors, the cost was 15 million, and the advertising placement was close to 6 million - there were mainly no famous actors, and advertisers did not dare to take risks...
The four leading actors, Deng Chao, Huang Bo, Zeng Li and Song Zuer have gathered in Wuhan...
Let me add a sentence: The actors' salary, including the salary of several supporting actors plus one yuan, is less than 3 million.
Deng Chao's salary was 200,000, Huang Bo was 200,000...
This is the case at the moment. There are 3,000 screens in total. Making movies is a waste of money, so just get some token remuneration!
Original words: "If you want to make money, make a TV series!"
Back to the topic, Shen Xudong’s original idea was to leave the press conference alone and start filming directly!
But... the company doesn't think it's okay, because "Life Events" is a commercial film, and the investment of 15 million is not low, so you have to promote it!
Holding a power-on ceremony is not a matter of appearance, but can really play a publicity role.
The movie itself is a commodity, and every effort must be made to get the audience to pay for the tickets.
Publicity is crucial!
Half of the opening ceremony is for theaters to watch.
Because theaters often arrange shows based on the movie’s lineup and promotional efforts.
The bigger the lineup and the better the promotion, the more screenings movie owners will show.
The more screenings a movie arranges, the more audiences it will reach, the wider its spread, and the better it will be at the box office;
If the publicity is not in place, there will be fewer people to watch and theaters will arrange fewer screenings. This has also resulted in many originally good movies failing to spread their reputation and having to be released in a hurry.
The launch conference of "Life Events" was held at Wuhan Tianhe International Cinema...
The partner is also Tianhe Cinema - solving the problem of location trouble during filming.
A group of people were in the backstage lounge.
Except for director Han Yan, everyone is not nervous anymore. The launch conference is nothing more than some fixed routines.
Have experienced it all!
This is Han Yan’s first time…
"Calm down, reporters don't eat people... Generally speaking, reporters won't deliberately make things difficult. If there are really difficult questions to answer, just leave it to me."
After comforting him with a few words, Shen Xudong joined Deng Chao's discussion...
Deng Chao received an audition invitation for "The Deer and the Cauldron" and he had some ideas for Wei Xiaobao!
"Don't think about it. "The Deer and the Cauldron" is a drama after Zhang Jizhong joined Huayi. All the actors are from Huayi!"
"...Then who can play Wei Xiaobao?"
"Huang Xiaoming!"
Huang Bo immediately retorted: "...How is it possible? He just played Yang Guo!"
Yes, how is that possible?
Yang Guo and Wei Xiaobao use the same actor?
Does Zhang Jizhong understand casting?
"... Linghu Chong and Guo Jing can both use the same actor... Didn't I refuse the invitation to be the screenwriter of "The Deer and the Cauldron" without watching it!"
