At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 566 "Struggle" Hit

Mai Jia won the Mao Dun Literature Award for "The Plot", and he is also the No.1 in China who won this honor for his spy war novel.

After "Assassination" was made into a TV series, its influence became phenomenal, and Mai Jiaran became famous.

As soon as "The Wind" came out, it immediately attracted the interest of a bunch of film and television companies...

Tianmei Media immediately won the right to adapt movies and TV series.

The original novel of "The Sound of the Wind" is really good, and the novel is divided into three parts: East Wind, West Wind, and Quiet Wind.

Three stories, three versions.

The first version was provided by Mr. Pan of our party, and his son relayed it to the novelist "I";
The main narrator of the second version is Gu Xiaomeng, who was one of the five people back then;

The last part "Quiet Wind" is actually the completion of the novelist "I" to the events of the year.

Through three parts, the novel provides different solutions to the events of the year, with grass snakes and gray lines interlocking.

Even if the belief part is deleted, this is still a good story with bold scale, wonderful group drama, and full of dramatic tension. After adding belief, it further elaborates one thing: why can a person give his all for a belief and an ideal? All and even life!
It is easy to understand that a person does things for money and profit. It can be seen and touched, and it is easy to form a complete logical chain; but beliefs are abstract and ideals are invisible. When people see and are convinced, they need a tighter logical chain.

Shen Xudong likes...

There is no reason not to win the adaptation rights!

In fact, Jiang Wen was interested in "The Wind" from the very beginning.

In Yuanshikong, he publicly said that he wanted to adapt "The Wind"...

However, Shen Xudong felt that he was not suitable: "I have written the script of "The Wind"... I am going to find the director Gao Qunshu..."

Gao Qunshu nodded: "I read the script, it's very awesome...I'm going to not change a single word..."

"The scale can be bigger, I told Director Han, you can add a lot of bloody scenes... Torturing people!"

The purpose of these shots is not to hunt for novelty, but to make people horrified - to let the audience know how much torture our heroes have endured!

Jiang Wen was embarrassed to steal other people's work, so he continued to ask: "...Then what is "Rooting Officials"?"

"The story of bandits fighting bullies..."

"Rogue Officer" in "Night Ten Tanji": A sentimental bandit pretends to be the county magistrate, kills the local bully Huang Silang, and sacrifices himself because of the justice of the process.

When Jiang Wen heard the outline, he was very interested: "Bandits fighting bullies?"

"Yes...Zhang Muzhi outwitted Huang Silang..."

"Mr. Ma Shitu's "The Story of the Robber"...Success, I'll go back and read it!"

"Well, I think this work is suitable for you!"

……

Jiang Wen still holds a lot of weight, even if it's just an actor...

Recently there has been a lot of news on the Internet: the new version of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" directed by Chen Jialin strongly invited Jiang Wen to play Cao Cao;

The film "White Deer Plain", which has been in preparation for many years, decided that Jiang Wen was the best candidate for the leading role;
That's right, the original director of "New Three Kingdoms" was Chen Jialin...

During the preparation period, he already felt physically and mentally exhausted. If he fell ill after starting the film, it would be too late to change directors.

So I decided to resign from the producer, hoping to be taken over by an energetic young and middle-aged director.

The second director is Yan Jiangang, and the investment has increased to 9000 million!However, he also resigned, and at the same time withdrew his company's investment in the TV series.

The reason is that "due to a variety of complicated reasons that are not suitable to be disclosed at present, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" cannot meet the most basic creation conditions", and "it is difficult to reach an agreement with individual investors on the operational level".

He also specifically pointed out in the statement that literary scripts created by screenwriters "should not undergo subversive, non-professional, and non-television transformations."

It seems that the main contradiction between the two parties lies in the script.

The third director, Gao Xixi, finally successfully finished filming nearly a hundred episodes of the TV series...

After the broadcast, the biggest problem is still the script!

Director Gao Xixi...

Wang Hailin said something: "Legend of Chu and Han" has two scripts, one is written by him and Yan Gang, and the other is written by others. Both he and Chen Daoming are more inclined to his writing, and investors also read it. , think he and Yan Gang's script is good.

But director Gao Xixi didn't think so. He had bought another script at that time, and that script cost money, so he combined the two scripts...

Pay attention, it’s not about shooting whoever is good at blending, but whoever writes well!
Because...the longer the writing, the longer the filming time, and the more money you make.

As for the Confucian scholars of the Qin Dynasty reciting the Three Character Classic, "Your Majesty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted in Daze Township" and other words that appeared in the play.

Many viewers criticized the screenwriter...

Wang Hailin was very angry, and then directly posted his script on the Internet!

He publicly said: The appearance of the Three Character Classic in the Qin Dynasty is an insult to a screenwriter. Any professional screenwriter would not make such a mistake. As for the Daze Township Uprising, it was the same as the beginning of the Eight-Year Anti-Japanese War. It was just actors talking nonsense.

Thinking about it, too, Gao Xixi is living in vain!

The struggles of Chen Daoming and Wang Hailin are doomed to be ineffective.

It’s okay, the high-level director later filmed "The Great Battle"-he crossed the river and I crossed the river, he crossed the river to take my Nanjing, and I crossed the river to take Xibaipo!
For such an important drama as "The Armageddon", a tiger should be sent to sit in the town. If a tiger can't be sent to sit in the town, at least a dog should be sent to protect the bottom line.But I didn't expect to send a pig in the end, blinding such a strong lineup for nothing.

totally speechless...

……

Zhao Baogang came with Tong Dawei, Wang Lei and Zhang Yi...

Come and play a cameo!
The reporters who interviewed the crew at the end of the credits cameo...

It also adds a little topicality to "Fame and Li Wan"-"Struggle" is broadcast...

"Struggle" was simultaneously broadcast in BJ, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Shaanxi, HLJ, Jilin, Henan, Sichuan, Hubei, Fujian and other places. After three days of broadcasting, the highest ratings reached 11.5%, and the response was unprecedented!
On the screens where all kinds of bitter dramas and period dramas dominate today, happy and humorous youth dramas like "Struggle" stand out and are popular on the screen...

There has been a social phenomenon!
Especially in BJ, with an average rating of 8.3%, it ranks first in the ratings of BJ area!

That's right, another phenomenal TV series was born.

According to data records, the number of rebroadcasts of "Struggle" reached 2007 times in 48 - by 2019, the number of rebroadcasts of "Struggle" was 193 times, ranking No. 12 in the history of Chinese TV dramas...

The number of rebroadcasts here refers specifically to rebroadcasts on star channels, excluding local stations.

Otherwise, there is no way to calculate it!
At this time, Zhao Baogang, Tong Dawei, Zhang Yi, and Wang Lei came to make guest appearances, which is definitely an extra point for "Rising Fame"...

You know, the popularity of "Struggle" directly made them the most popular actors.

Shen Xudong is of course very happy!

They were very warmly received...
