China Entertainment Eunuch

Chapter 36 The Sitcom Universe
Director Shang Jing's brilliance is not only that, he can also string together every TV series he shoots.

In "Wulin Biography", you can see the characters of "The Story of the Cooking Class".

In "The Story of Cooking Class", you can hear the characters discuss the plot of "Wulin Biography".

They are all connected to each other, and will not conflict with the plot, which belongs to the earliest dream linkage.

This is earlier and smarter than the linkage of "Spider-Man: No Return for Heroes".

There are many domestic sitcoms, such as "The Story of the Cooking Class", "The Story of the Health Team", "Sister Ma", "A Family in the Northeast", "Underground Traffic Station", "Wulin Biography", "Longmen Bodyguard Bureau", etc. Each is more classic than another, and each character is very distinctive.

Until "Love Apartment"...

There are many advantages of this drama, and there are also many shortcomings. The biggest criticism is nothing more than plagiarism.

But despite plagiarism, this drama is at least the youth and memories of a generation.

Many of the stories are very exciting, especially the special effects of the Forbidden Top, which is definitely one of the best in China.

In the end, in order to fulfill the dreams of the fans, the director had no choice but to shoot the fifth part. Although the plot became no longer particularly funny and three newcomers were added, at least the ending was happy and all the holes that needed to be filled were filled.

After "Love Apartment Five", there have been no sitcoms in China for several years in a row.

There are two reasons. First, because it is limited to a specific environment, the plot is difficult to write, and it is necessary to keep adding jokes. This is a test of the screenwriter's level.

However, domestic screenwriters have already turned into a pool of mud. At least 80.00% of the film and television dramas produced every year are adapted from novels. There are very few original ones, but even if there are classic novels in front, screenwriters can adapt them. It's all in pieces, unsightly.

Second, actors are hard to find.

Sitcoms test the acting skills of actors the most, and sitcoms are easy to explode. Once they become popular, fans will bring actors into this role. Shooting other film and television dramas will seem very inconsistent.

Take "Love Apartment" as an example, as long as you mention Chen He, you can think of Zeng Xiaoxian, as long as you mention Li Jiahang, you can think of Zhang Wei, as long as you mention "I choose Lu Xiaobu, he is the most popular one", you will definitely hear Sun Yizhou.

Among all the characters, the only one who got rid of the audience's stereotype is Wang Chuanjun who participated in "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

Of course, there are many more classic sitcoms overseas.

"Modern Family", "The Big Bang Theory", "Bankrupt Girls", "Friends"...

Now a great master who shoots sitcom directors is standing in front of him, and the world has been unified without so many restrictions and restraints. Before he knew it, a very bold idea popped up in Zhou Zun's mind.

The sitcom universe!

In the future, many film and television dramas will focus on creating their own universes, such as Marvel Universe, DC Universe, Tang Tan Universe, Bai Ye Universe...

Now that I have the right time, place and people, why not create a crazier and more classic sitcom universe.

Tie those sitcoms back home together and in the same universe.

For example, in "Family with Children", Liu Xing especially wanted to be a soldier in an episode, so a character in "The Story of the Cooking Class" could definitely appear.

Another example is that in "Love Apartment", Hu Yifei and Lu Zhanbo have an aunt who is in a mental hospital, so who is their uncle, can also introduce a character from "The Story of the Cooking Class".

All of these can be introduced in a very reasonable way. This kind of dream linkage will surprise the audience and make people talk about it.

In the movie "Ant-Man", didn't the second-generation American team Falcon be introduced.

There are many, many cases of this in Marvel movies.

As for "Wulin Biography", "Tongfu Inn", and "The Story of the Traffic Station", some of these backgrounds appeared in ancient times, and some appeared during the Anti-Japanese War. It seems difficult to merge into the same universe, but it is not impossible .

In "Love Apartment" and "Wulin Biography", don't both episodes talk about "if", so we can take the opportunity to introduce it.

What would it be like if they lived in ancient times or during the Anti-Japanese War.

In this way, these few film and television dramas with special backgrounds were filmed separately.

"Love Apartment Movie" can be forcibly linked with "Tomb Raider Notes", so what is not allowed?
As for the plagiarism of "Love Apartment", it would be good to remove all the plagiarized content and make some original works.

Get rid of the dross and take the essence.

With the case from his hometown ahead, Zhou Zun didn't panic at all.

The more Zhou Zun thought about it, the more excited he became, he even forgot that Shang Jing was still standing in front of him.

Shang Jing was puzzled, and waved his hand: "Why are you silent? Why are you in a daze?"

"Sorry, I just thought of something."

Zhou Zun apologized again and again, and said, "Actually, I'm an actor..."

"Really, what scene did you film?"

Shang Jing became excited. If professional actors could participate, he felt that it would be easier for him to shoot.

"Master Xing's "White Bread and Blue Sky"!"

Zhou Zun is very honest.

Shang Jing was more honest: "I've never heard of it!"

It hasn't been released yet, and of course he hasn't heard of it.

But when he heard Master Xing, he immediately thought that Zhou Zun was lying to him on purpose, so he turned around and was about to leave.

After all, those who can act in Star Master movies, even if they are not big names in the entertainment industry, are outstanding and easy to be remembered by the audience.

But Zhou Zun and Shang Jing had no impression at all.

Zhou Zun grabbed Shang Jing and said, "Don't worry, I think you should want to shoot a work now, and you already have a general direction in mind, but the actors are tentative and the script is not yet available, so there is no investment Fang is willing to invest in you, you, a director, can only go to the streets to find suitable actors."

Shang Jing was silent.

Because Zhou Zun talked about his heart.

It's not easy to shoot sitcoms, because although sitcoms are easy to catch fire, they are more likely to hit the street.

This really tests the director's directing skills. If the filming is not good, it will appear nondescript, like chewing wax.

When he was in his hometown, Wang Yuan, the director of "Love Apartment", also faced this kind of problem.

In order to save costs, he did not hesitate to find Chen He and others who were still in school and had no reputation at all.

Even after it was filmed, it could only be broadcast at midnight on the TV station. The TV station was not optimistic at all and would not broadcast it in prime time at all.

Zhou Zun wrote earnestly all over his face: "I can help you! I am not only an actor, but also a shareholder of an entertainment company. I can invest in you!"

　ps: The previous chapter was too erotic, I edited and deleted it twice but failed, I have to wait for the third time!
