What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 167 Will Be Popular

The Spring Festival in 2017 is relatively early, and the Chinese New Year will be on January 1. Fortunately, the special effects work for "Warrior" started early, and it is not affected by continuous holidays. It should be no problem to complete it on schedule.

New Year's Day passed quietly, saying goodbye to 2016.

Yang Shu has become less busy. His daily work is mainly to check the quality of sound mixing, sound effects, and special effects. It is very detailed and time-consuming.

However, once he leaves the China Film Production Center or the special effects company, he has nothing to keep busy, and this is the most leisurely period of time recently.

On the contrary, Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu are still working together, besides commercial activities, they are also getting in touch with other works.

After "Love Letter from Heaven", they have been invited to film, but because "Warrior" has been filmed for half a year, and there are also commercial endorsement activities on a daily basis, there is really no time to accept them. Now that the time is looser, it is inevitable that they will start to be tempted.

Some people also invited Yang Shu, and many scripts were sent, but he didn't like it.

"Space Hunter" once wanted to invite him to play a guest role as a pilot, but then it was nothing. Liu Man guessed that he was worried about his image stealing the show.

Regarding Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu's other films, Yang Shu's attitude is that as long as the script is good and the characters are good, it's okay. As an actor, he should try many things, and he can't always be tied to him.

There are many projects found, such as "Ode to Joy 3", it is said that it will be tailored for the two of them.

Although "Ode to Joy 2" has finished filming and has not been broadcast yet, the official has announced that there will be 3, 4, and 5 seasons in the future, and claims that the original crew will continue to play.

However, in private, the main creators also admitted that it is impossible. The stories of Liu Tao and Jiang Yu's happy five beauties have already been told, and there is really no way to continue editing.

Letting Liu Man take over Liu Tao's character design in the series seems to be a good idea, with continuity and topicality. Liu Man is a new star whose debut film broke one billion and has been popular in three seasons of "World's Wonderful Events". Can afford the role.

Jiang Shiyu was more than competent to take over the position of Jiang Yu, and his appearance even surpassed a lot. Jiang Yu was in the best state when he played Mu Wanqing, but his appearance dropped a lot after that, but it was a blessing in disguise to get the role of Concubine Hua. no.

But Yang Shu vetoed the other party's proposal, the reason is very simple: "This kind of popular drama is most afraid of changing the story, so it's better to start a new one, they can continue the dog's tail, let's not join in the fun."

"Ode to Joy" has been very popular in the past two years. Sister Tao and Jiang Yu participated in the Spring Festival Gala last year. This year, they will sing "Beautiful Chinese Year" with Wang Ziwen, Yang Zi and Qiao Xin at the Spring Festival Gala. The IP is well built.

Sister Lian Tao said: "The story of this drama is told too quickly. Most of the people's marriage and love stories have been told in the second season. We still have a gap in this regard. We don't have the ability to manage themes like American dramas."

This is a matter of development stage. "Sex and the City" and "Desperate Housewives" tell stories slowly, and they can be filmed in ten seasons and eight seasons. This kind of experience is also accumulated little by little.

After another IP becomes popular, domestic creators usually fall into self-preservation. The story and characters are no longer developed. They just want to maintain it, so they can only repeat it. "Ode to Joy 3" is such a product.

Since others don’t like what others offer, they take the initiative to choose from memory, so “The Beginning” was officially put on the agenda by Yang Shu.

His plan for the future of Wonderful Studio is to have one movie and one TV series a year. Now that "World Wonderful Events" has stopped, he has to start other projects quickly, or he may give up after a long delay.

Although the general trend is similar, there are still many differences between the two worlds. Of course, there are many other themes that can be filmed. The reason why Yang Shu chose "The Beginning" was because he had only seen it before time travel. It left the deepest impression on him, and the project was not easy Liu Man controls.

After all, it is a suspenseful and brain-burning drama. I thought the script would be difficult to write, but it is actually simpler than imagined. The beginning and ending of a story and characters are determined, and the audience is surrounded by clouds and mist, not the screenwriter.

Especially in this kind of time cycle drama, the characters go through a cycle, the plot of each cycle is similar, the ending is very similar, the bus explodes in the end, the two protagonists either die or enter the police station to be interrogated, but in each cycle Give the viewer a little different detail.

So it took Yang Shu half a month to write the framework of each episode, and then a little bit to enrich the content and lines.

To be honest, this drama is not very good among suspense themes around the world, let alone a masterpiece, but its advantages are also obvious. It is rare that it did not deliberately imitate Japanese, Korean or American dramas, and has some characteristics of its own , has achieved an ingenious balance in suspense and emotion, which is more suitable for the tastes of mainland audiences.

The details are also well done. For example, the ringtone of the heroine Li Shiqing's mobile phone is "Canon", which is also the "Canon" of Canon Camera. This is a kind of polyphonic music. The tune of the first part chases the other part from the beginning to the end, until the last bar, and then makes a chord to blend together, giving people a sacred artistic conception, which is very consistent with the plot.

Now that it has been copied, Yang Shu also wants to do something groundbreaking. For domestic dramas, this may also be a good start. It will take a different path and drive the industry to shoot more genre films with its own style.

As for the choice of actors, it is obvious that the original cast cannot be fully used, especially the male and female protagonists. After all, the filming was done five years in advance.

The male protagonist of the original work is played by Bai Jingting, who is a game architect, so his logical thinking is relatively strong.

The heroine Li Shiqing is played by Zhao Jinmai, who is a female college student at school and looks smart.

Bai Jingting is the same age as Yang Shu, and he is still unknown after his two-year debut. If you want to praise him, you can continue to use it.

Zhao Jinmai is under [-] years old this year. The year before last, he starred in the children's fantasy comedy "Ba La La Little Demon Fairy: The Test of Magic".

This role has to be re-chosen, but in fact, there is no need to think about it. The heroine is none other than Jiang Shiyu, or the same sentence, the fat water does not flow into the field of outsiders, and other important roles can basically be used by the original cast.

"The Beginning" has a total of fifteen episodes, and Yang Shu writes one episode almost a day. The first audience is naturally Liu Man, who watches in the study every night, just like chasing dramas.

When talking about the "Beginning" project last year, although Yang Shu said that Liu Man liked it more and more, he actually had some reservations. At that time, he listed many classic works with time cycles around the world, and the implication was not very optimistic. Domestic themes.

Yang Shu made it clear to her before she started writing: "This is a web series, and we are targeting ordinary audiences rather than suspense lovers, so we can't make that kind of IQ test drama that is highly brain-burning and requires attention to details. What matters is immersion."

Liu Man also agrees with this point: "The viewing threshold must be lower in order to be popular."

Yang Shu wrote very successfully, and she quickly showed a sense of immersion. After chasing for seven days, she couldn't extricate herself.

"This drama is so good, it will definitely be popular when it is filmed."
