At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 49 The Crew's Reaction
Generally speaking, journalists and the media are not allowed to enter the film and television city to interview works that are being filmed, and the film and television drama that is being filmed will also issue a media prohibition order!
So, there will be proxy shooters in later generations...

The publicity of the work will generally be handed over to a special media to be responsible for reporting, and will arrange media visits, interviews, etc. at a specified time...

But...Shen Xudong is different, he is the screenwriter of the same group, and the reporter interviewed him without delaying the normal shooting, so the production director agreed!

The media that interviewed him is not very famous, it seems to be called "China Entertainment Report"...

At first, he asked, "Did you write "The Great Hero: The Seven Monsters of Jiangnan"?" '

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes."

"Then why are you writing?"

"Make money, now Jin Yong's drama is popular, just write any opinion and it will be published..."

"So when did you start writing?"

"Last year, I first followed the popularity of "Swordsman"..."

"Stay hot?"

"It's when the episode airs and the media is discussing it..."

"Then what do you think of that version of "Swordsman"?"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "I feel that the spirit and theme of the whole show completely deviate from the original novel. The essence of the original novel is the power struggle, and it's replaced with a competitive game about who is the best in martial arts... But I still like it." I like it, except Li Yapeng's version of Linghu Chong is really not to my taste, other aspects are good, in line with oriental aesthetics, the color of the clothes and the background are all natural beauty."

"You also think Li Yapeng's performance is not good?"

"Of course, Linghu Chong's background is sincerity. He is carrying the burden of punishing evil and promoting good and pretending to be chic. In fact, he is struggling in the rivers and lakes, and his heart is depressed. Chic and unrestrained are just a mask, but Li Apeng... If you don't say anything else, just say The scene of pretending to be a general was really bad!"

"...Many people say Lu Songxian's version is more classic!"

"It's normal," Shen Xudong shrugged, "Mainland dramas and mainland actors are always underestimated, and what's even more frightening is that they have to come over and step on them. Many people have never even watched the complete TV series, and they start to praise and demean the other side. Here, it's very unfair, but it's normal... Let's keep working hard!"

This topic ended, and changed to "Shooting the Condors": "Have you watched the latest version of "Shooting the Condors"?"

"I'm concerned, but I don't have time to watch..."

"Focus on what?"

"Media evaluation..." After thinking for a while, Shen Xudong said: "I found a problem, let's do it now, whether the show is good or not, the ratings don't matter, the media has the right to judge.

In fact, the media only represent the tastes of some people, and they are petty bourgeoisie.The ratings of the works they approve of are not that high.

I feel that the biggest difficulty for us screenwriters now is how to balance these two evaluation systems. "

"You're right, the ratings of "Shooting the Condors" are actually quite high..."

"Shooting the Condors" started broadcasting in major cities in 14 provinces including Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong, Sichuan, Yunnan, Shanxi, and Jilin, and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" ranked No.1 in the audience .

Not only that, but in terms of commercial returns, Zhejiang TV, which bought the premiere rights, has a record 7 episodes, but the advertising revenue is as high as 2000 million!
It is definitely profitable.

"...Let's talk about "Dragon Babu". Do you think this version of "Dragon Babu" can surpass the TVB version?"

Shen Xudong thought for a while, and said: "First of all, I would like to say something: the production of Hong Kong dramas will not be majestic, but they also know how to make use of their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and they will bypass the aspects they are not good at. The role is suitable, and it is easy for the audience to get into the play."

"Let's talk about TVB's production mode. It continues the Shaw Brothers studio assembly line system, saves as much as possible, uses studio scenes, and rarely uses exterior scenes..."

"The production team of "Dragon Babu" is also aware of their own shortcomings in this area. The filming and shooting of scenes are mainly close-ups, highlighting the actors and emphasizing the artistic conception.

In addition, it must be emphasized that when "Dragon and Babu" was filmed, Li Tiansheng's director team had already experienced the experience of three Jin Yong dramas, "The Deer and the Ding Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the team became more mature. "Eight Parts" is definitely a comprehensive production. In line with the principle of focusing on the audience's perception of TV dramas, it cuts down the complicated and keeps it simple, the rhythm is fast, and the camera work, music, and actors' performances are all excellent, so it is very watchable! "

"One more thing, I want to talk about it. Many people may not know that TVB is almost the whole station to create "Dragon Babu". TVB itself is a place that pays great attention to business and efficiency, but "Dragon Babu" is only In the first scene of the first episode, Qiao Feng appeared in the filming, and it took 40 days."

"Talking about surpassing, it is probably impossible! TVB will not surpass it again!"

"However, it is an indisputable fact that the TVB version of "Dragon and Babu" deviates from the original work, and in terms of characterization and plot selection, it can't escape the fast-food entertainment culture. It lacks the charm and theme of the original book." The profundity of "can't ask for."

"So, as long as we shoot according to the plot framework of the original novel, combined with the great rivers and mountains of the mainland, even if we can't surpass it, I don't think the difference will be too much!"

"Well said, then..."

……

Shen Xudong is talking with the reporter here. Many people in the crew of "Tianlong" know about Shen Xudong's interview, and also know about his article "The Great Hero: Seven Monsters in the South of the Yangtze River"...

Everyone praises...

In this day and age, talented people are still very popular.

What's more, Shen Xudong is still a handsome man, a student in the Department of Drama and Literature.

The main reason is that the sisters have a good impression of him and help him to blow...

And Shen Xudong respects people very much. The crew of "Tianlong" has a lot of dealings with him. Apart from the sisters, they are a bunch of supporting roles, such as the four villains and so on...

Everyone has a good impression of him.

This time it is a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change...

Well, not so far...

After all, his identity is still only with the group screenwriter.

It's just a small adjustment for the crew!

"Dragon" crew, but there is Lin Zhiying, who cares about a screenwriter?
On the contrary, Liu Yifei, who plays Wang Yuyan, is quite interested in him, or wants to ask the screenwriter for his understanding of Wang Yuyan...

However, she was embarrassed to go directly to Shen Xudong...

There is no way to find her, and her mother watches her 24 hours a day.

The reason is that when Huang Xiaolei was chatting with Shu Chang and Jiang Xin, she mentioned Shen Xudong's views on the characters in "Tian Long Ba Bu", mainly to comment on the character arcs of several characters...

For example, Qiao Feng's background is a tragic hero, but he is also a person from the Jianghu. Since he is mixed with the Jianghu, he will inevitably kill people, so he must have a ferocious nature!
Comment on Duan Yu, saying that his image is based on Jia Baoyu, he treats people generously, and has a gentle personality like jade...

These are what Shu Chang learned from Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei's understanding of Wang Yuyan - Wang Yuyan is the perfect girl...

She said it herself!
Therefore, Wang Yuyan in this version of "Dragon Babu" is a wooden beauty, thin and boring...

She also realized that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong...

　Thank you for the boss reward, five books, thank you...
