472: Invitation From CCTV

"It's so stressful." Dong Yi got into the car, but his nerves were still tense: "Qin Shiyue's Jianning is so classic, and she performed so well." With the charm that this character should have, her status in the hearts of the audience is simply irreplaceable. . "

"The same goes for Shuang'er played by Lin Ping'er. If you perform well, you will pay tribute to the classics. If you perform poorly, you will destroy the classics. It's too difficult." Gu Yitong sighed softly and said, "Oh, I'm afraid I'm going to have insomnia tonight."

Zhong Qinrong shook her head and said: "Let's go back to the hotel later and play the opposite role again. All we can do now is to try our best to perform."

Dong Yi's eyes flashed and he said: "How about we go ask Director Jiang for advice?"

Gu Yitong muttered: "Isn't it bad? Director Jiang is very busy."

Zhong Qinrong thought for a moment and said: "Otherwise, let's perform for a day tomorrow and see if there are any problems. We will ask Director Jiang for advice."

The three of them went from not having a good impression of each other to becoming good friends in just over a month.

After auditioning, they often made appointments to play together to learn from each other and make progress together. They were originally very confident, but the questions from the media reporters at today's opening ceremony put them under great pressure.

They are not afraid of being compared, because it is inevitable. What they are afraid of is that the version they perform will not be accepted by the audience.

Even the powerful actresses in the other two cars, Li Farong who plays Long Er and Chen Jiaxin who plays A Ke, also feel the pressure.

This is whether it is a "drama adapted from a movie", a "film adapted from a drama", or a "remake", we will all encounter this problem, which is to compare it with the previous work in terms of plot, characters, service, etc.

In fact, the audience is already used to this kind of "classic-ruining" work. At most, they will complain about it, "It's annoying to the eyes and doubts about the IQ of all the creators. You are the first to copy the original work and make it like this?"

However, the fact is that bad movies are born one after another.

For example, Zhang Yishan's version of "The Deer and the Cauldron" on Earth is not the worst remake. It is preceded by the 3-point 2018 version of "The Legend of Qin"

These films look very eye-catching at first glance, with martial arts scenes, special effects, dramatic conflicts, handsome men and beautiful women, and classic music at the beginning and end of the film, instantly creating a nostalgic atmosphere. However, when you watch the feature film, you will find that the packaging is It's a lie. Each character's IQ is lower than the last, and the plot logic is full of bugs. No matter what the core of the original version is, it will give you a bloody love story of a street stall idol.

For creators, adapting classics is a thankless task. They are completely innovative, but they are afraid that the original audience will not buy it, so they copy it completely. The plot is really not up to date with the times. It is not easy to balance it well. Most of the time it depends on the ability of adaptation. I couldn't keep up with the ambition of the adaptation. I thought about the original work as well as innovation, but in the end nothing was done well.

Of course, this blame cannot be thrown entirely to the screenwriters. As we all know, in the domestic film and television drama industry, screenwriters have never had a high say. From platforms to investors and producers, the vast majority of practitioners are capital-oriented and It is flow-oriented and so-called big data-oriented, but it is not creation-oriented.

In the end, it is the audience who suffers. They spend time watching the drama, have to "wash their eyes", and sometimes are blamed by the film producers, saying that the audience likes to watch this kind of drama.

"There are a lot of doubts on the Internet. Some people are worried that you will destroy the IP, and some people don't understand you changing actors." Mo Lan said.

"Really?" Hearing this, Jiang Ge smiled faintly and said, "This is our first drama-turned-movie. It's normal for everyone to have doubts."

He has an extra lifetime of memories, so he has more say in this, because Jin Yong's martial arts novels have been remade in countless versions on Earth.

A successful remake interprets the new connotation of a classic with current words and gives the classic a new vitality, while a failed remake consumes the classic under the guise of sentiment.

The reason why he is not worried is very simple. The screenwriters of "Xiaobao and Kangxi", "The Deer and the Cauldron: The Battle for the Imperial City" and "The Deer and the Cauldron: The Dragon Cult" are all written by Wang Jing. They are similar in style and all are innovative.

Mo Lan believed in him unconditionally, and he had been slapped in the face countless times, so he didn't discuss this matter more and said casually: "What do you mean, will you continue to adapt it in the future?"

Jiang Ge nodded and said: "I have this idea, such as "The Swordsman", "Little Fish and Flowers", "A Chinese Ghost Story", etc., can be adapted into corresponding movies and TV series."

Upon hearing this, Mo Lan was slightly surprised and said: ""A Chinese Ghost Story" is also okay?"

Jiang Ge smiled and said: "Of course."

The TV series of the same name as "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a costume fantasy TV series co-produced by mainland China, Taiwan Province, Xiangjiang District, and Singapore.

The screenwriter is Chen Shisan, who created "I Have a Date with a Zombie", starring Xu Xiyuan, Chen Xiaodong, Xuan Xuan, Wu Jing, Nie Yuan and others, with guest appearances by Yuan Hua, Luo Jialiang, Deng Cuiwen, Lu Songxian, Huang Weide and others.

Although contrary to the movie, the male and female protagonists Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian were criticized as the worst in the show, there are many classic characters such as Qiye, Hongye, Zhuge Liuyun, Sima Sanniang, and Jin Guang.

However, if you want to redeem this script, you have to make major changes, such as the romantic dialogue of the Baodao TV series, the dispensable male and female protagonists, the way of persuasion, etc.

"oops

Mo Lan exclaimed softly and said, "I almost forgot to tell you something important."

Django asked: "What happened?"

Mo Lan replied: "CCTV has invited you to sing "The Lone Warrior" at this year's August 1st Gala." "You want me to sing this song?" Jiang Ge raised his eyebrows and said: "Shouldn't it be Chen Yi?"

Mo Lan explained: "CCTV said that many soldiers like you, and this song is the most suitable."

Jiang Ge was in a dilemma. He must go to this official gala, but he thought about singing "The Lone Warrior" for a while and said: "Why don't you ask me if I can not sing "The Lone Warrior"."

Mo Lan seemed to understand something and asked: "You mean, choose one of the three songs "Blue and White Porcelain", "Love You for Ten Thousand Years", and "Jingge Jinqu"? "

"No, no, no." Jiang Ge shook his head and said: "I will write a new song that fits the August 1st Gala."

Mo Lan said "Oh", then smiled and said: "I think CCTV will definitely accept it. Your customized song is worth a thousand gold.

The reason why Jiang Ge didn't sing "The Lone Warrior" was that he felt that with so many Earth entertainment resources at hand, he could definitely pick another song.

Moreover, when he heard that he was going to this year's August 1st Gala, he had already made a choice in his mind.
