This Emperor is Only An Actor

Chapter 115 "Sculpture of God" project approval [18,000 recommendation tickets plus more]

Yue Guan did not prevaricate Bi Zhifei.

He was indeed talking with Zhang Jizhong about the "The Legend of Condor Heroes" film and television project.

There are many kinds of copyrights, and film and television adaptation is just one of them, and it is not necessarily the most profitable among them.

But Yue Guanming's superficial identity is an actor after all.

Other copyrights can be left to professionals to discuss, and Yue Guan will personally follow up on film and television copyrights.

Zhang Jizhong is a great director handpicked by the top.

Taizu's martial arts Zhang Jizhong has been remade before, and all of them have been scolded, but the ratings are not low.

In the past two years, with the decline of martial arts dramas, Zhang Jizhong's reputation in the eyes of the audience is getting higher and higher day by day.

It is really a good foil for the peers.

Now that the higher authorities want to support martial arts themes and want to adapt film and television dramas, Zhang Jizhong is the first choice for the director.

Yue Guan has no opinion on this.

Zhang Jizhong's martial arts drama is really good. The Hong Kong version of Jin Yong's drama has a lot of people blowing it up, and they beat the mainland version in various ways. However, there is still a big gap between shooting a scene in a small city and shooting a real scene in the land of China, and people who are not blind can see it.

As for the actors, among other things, what's wrong with Hu Jun's version of Qiao Feng?

Compared with acting skills and restoring the original image, Hu Jun's version of Qiao Feng has nothing to criticize. Qiao Feng was originally a hero, and Hu Jun played it very vividly.

There are always people who close their eyes and criticize the Hong Kong version and criticize the Mainland version, as if those who like the Hong Kong version are superior to those who like the Mainland version.

Superiority is a disease that can be cured.

In Zhang Jizhong's martial arts drama, as long as you don't cast Li Yapeng as the leading role, you can basically rest assured of him.

It is impossible for Zhang Jizhong to find Li Yapeng now.

Because Li Yapeng has retired to work in real estate.

"Yueguan, what are your thoughts on adapting "The Legend of Condor Heroes" into a film and television drama?"

Zhang Jizhong respected Yue Guan's opinion very much.

He even carried a notebook with him, if Yue Guan's opinion was important, he would write it down in the notebook first, so as not to forget it later.

When presenting the award, Zhang Jizhong said that he was a fan of Yueguan's books, and he was not lying.

Martial arts novels are fairy tales for adults. Young people nowadays don’t particularly like to read martial arts, but middle-aged people do.

Zhang Jizhong is the one I like very much, and the degree is about the same as that of Ma Yun.

Yue Guan thought for a while, and said seriously: "The first edition must be adapted according to the original work, so as to attract the original party to the greatest extent."

"I think the same way. Your novels are very well written, the images are very vivid, and they can be easily adapted into scripts. Unlike Gu Long's novels, there is no way to put them on the screen without major changes in the plot." Zhang Jizhong complained.

Yue Guan smiled.

As a master of martial arts, it is basically recognized that Gu Long's status is not as good as Jin Yong's. In addition to the fact that there is a gap in hard power, Gu Long's martial arts is far behind in terms of film and television.

Gu Long's martial arts novels are written too illusory, and it is difficult to make them into a film and television. Jin Yong is different in this respect. Just shoot according to the plot. As long as they can be filmed, the original party will basically pay for it.

Gu Long martial arts can’t be filmed according to the original work, the plot is too scattered, the fights are too fast, the environment is too dangerous, and the master will reach the full level when he comes out... This kind of plot looks very cool in the novel, but once it is made into a TV movie, it will be very boring .

It's over in a second of fighting, how can the audience enjoy it?

"Director Zhang, do you want to shoot one more version?" Yue Guan asked proactively.

Zhang Jizhong didn't understand Yue Guan's words: "Make an extra version? What do you mean?"

"Make a version based on the original book, and if there is no accident, it should be broadcast on CCTV. Then use the same lineup to make an additional version that does not follow the original story, and broadcast it on the five-star video."

Zhang Jizhong was well-informed, but it was also the first time he saw Yue Guan's operation, so he couldn't understand Yue Guan's meaning for a while.

"What's the point of doing this?"

"Make money." Yue Guan said very calmly: "Shoot according to the original book, show it on the TV station, and make the original book party satisfied. Then make a version of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" to make up for the regret of the original book, attract these viewers to pay to watch, and earn five stars The video and the investors are split equally."

Zhang Jizhong slowed down, but his brain was still working: "Make up for the regrets of the original book? What regrets does the original book have? Wait..."

Zhang Jizhong looked at Yueguan and said in surprise, "You don't mean to ask Yang Guo to accept all the female characters, do you?"

When "The Legend of Condor Heroes" was serialized, it became very popular and created many classic characters, especially female characters.

And these female characters have more or less ambiguous relationship with Yang Guo.

Many readers said that when they saw Yang Guo mistakenly for life, Yang Guo was a scumbag, and he only flirted but never married.

There are even many readers who are Guo Xiangdang and Gongsun Luedang.

When Zhang Jizhong himself read the original "The Legend of Condor Heroes", he also had regrets in this regard.

It's really a pity that Yang Guo gave up so many excellent female roles in the end.

But it's just a pity.

He didn't intend to do anything.

But Yueguan obviously planned to do something.

"Director Zhang, if you made a version of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" in which Yang Guo accepted all the female characters, would you spend money to watch it? Tell the truth."

Zhang Jizhong hesitated for a moment, and said the truth: "Yes."

"How many men do you think are interested in this version of "The Legend of Condor Heroes"?"

Zhang Jizhong thought for a while: "Many, there are only two types of men, lecherous and particularly lecherous."

There are no harem-oriented TV series because the above does not promote such values.

Do you really think that male audiences don't want to watch this kind of TV series?

Let alone male audiences, female audiences will watch it.

Otherwise, why did Gongdou drama become so popular?

A group of concubines around the emperor, isn't it just a harem drama with a piece of skin?

Zhang Jizhong is an excellent commercial director, and he quickly realized the "Qian Jing" filmed in this way.

"How much money did the second season of "Edge of the City" earn from audience subscriptions?" Zhang Jizhong asked.

Yue Guan stretched out three fingers: "So far, more than 30 million."

Zhang Jizhong was completely moved.

"A niche theme like "Edge of the City" can generate 30 million yuan. If "The Legend of Condor Heroes" is made, it won't be too much to double it, right?"

Yue Guan smiled lightly: "Director Zhang, it depends on the cast and the quality of the finished product of "The Legend of Condor Heroes". As long as it reaches above the average line, it's the same as playing with a five-fold or even ten-fold increase. After all, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" started from In terms of fame and subject matter, "Edge of the City" is too much. In addition, you did not plan to invite too many big-name stars for the TV series "Condor Heroes"."

"It's not that I don't plan to invite them, but I can't invite them. Many big-name stars don't make TV dramas." Zhang Jizhong said with emotion.

"Forget about male stars, as for female stars, there are five-star videos to back them up. In terms of remuneration, the budget can be doubled, and the remuneration can also be doubled. Director Zhang, think about what it would be like to catch all the popular stars in the entertainment industry. Effect? ​​I think the higher-ups must hope that the lineup of the TV series version of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" will be as strong as possible."

Zhang Jizhong couldn't sit still.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Yue Guan said made sense.

This time, he was appointed as the chief director of the film and television project of "The Legend of Condor Heroes". Although it is an honor, he is also under a lot of pressure.

If "The Legend of Condor Heroes" hits the street, it will be difficult for him to get along in the circle in the future.

And Yue Guan's proposal minimized his risk.
