Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 1085 The script has not passed the review?
"Just listen to what the media say." Chen Hao said, "Okay, okay, I still have something to do, let's talk about it next time we meet!"

After Weibo's successful listing on Nasdaq, Chen Hao has become the focus of media reports again, and the reason is naturally that his net worth has skyrocketed.

Then there were a lot of congratulatory phone calls and SMS greetings, especially when Xiaohu insisted on breaking the casserole to ask the end, Chen Hao had no choice but to deal with it.

As soon as Chen Hao put down the phone, Hao Yi winked at him, opened his mouth and said silently, "Xiaohu?"

Seeing this, Chen Hao gave Hao Yi an angry look, "Ahem, let's continue!"

At this time, the scriptwriting team of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" led by Chen Hao, Hao Yi, Du Jie, Wen Muye, and Xing Aina is having a meeting to discuss the script.

Because Chen Hao asked the film to restore the original novel as much as possible, it was not difficult to write the script. At this time, Xing Aina's screenwriting team had completed the first draft of the script.

But for the script, everyone has some concerns.

First of all, the most worrying thing is the rule that there should be no ghosts in domestic films.

To be precise, not only ghosts, but gods, demons, ghosts and ghosts are all subject to strict scrutiny by relevant departments, but the scrutiny of ghosts is the most stringent.

The reason why ghost films are strictly prohibited is that in recent years, there have been frequent disturbances caused by oblique education in China, and the propaganda department has to move closer to the general climate.

This matter is relatively strict. Now Chen Hao and others are worried that the name "Ghost Blowing Lamp: The Ancient City of Essence" may not pass the trial because of the ghost character.

At the same time, zombies, vampires, werewolves and other suspected feudal superstitions are all banned.

In fact, Xiangjiang filmmakers are also very puzzled by the ban on ghost films, because Xiangjiang has a film classification system, so it doesn't matter what you shoot.

For this reason, Xiangjiang Filmmakers also asked relevant leaders.

The leader's answer probably means that the inland is different from Xiangjiang. There are as many as 9 million people in the inland in the countryside.

This is not to look down on the countryside here, but because of education level and other reasons, the feudal superstitious atmosphere here is stronger, and they may be more affected.

Thinking about how many people believe in the advertisements on TV, all kinds of pyramid schemes have been banned repeatedly, and there are too many ghost movies, some people will really believe it.

If you think about it this way, it does make some sense.

Demons are also banned, but it is somewhat negotiable.

Monsters from famous classics such as "Journey to the West" and "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" have provenances, which can be regarded as promoting national culture, and can be released normally, or treated as cute as "Monster Hunting", is also a way out.

But generally speaking, gods, demons and monsters are all suppressed, just better than ghosts.

These points are all due to the policy red line of materialism.

To make cultural products in China, you must have a sense of "red line", because this stuff fluctuates from time to time, and you might lose a project that has been in preparation for several years.

　how to say?

It is the above policies, depending on the industry, the tolerable scale is also different.

For example, the allowed scale of online novels is larger than that of online dramas, and the allowed scale of online dramas is larger than that of movies, and the allowed scale of movies is larger than that of TV dramas. Empress.

In fact, there are even differences in TV dramas. For example, the review on the stars is stricter than that broadcast on local channels. This is because the specific regulatory departments and review methods in each field are different.

At the same time, don't naively think that if "Soul Ferry" can have ghosts and "Wuxin Master" can have ghosts, then you can have ghosts.

Being able to approve a project the year before last does not mean it can be approved this year, and Mr. Zhao being able to approve it does not mean that you can also approve it.

This is the sense of red line.

Of course, it's not all good news.

Because of the rapid development of the film industry in the past two years, the government really hopes that this industry can form a big industry with cultural discourse power like Hollywood, so you will see that national leaders are pushing "Three-Body Problem", and Chen Hao has repeatedly On the news network.

Contrary to cracking down on gods, demons, ghosts and ghosts, the state will give a larger scale in the line of science fiction and quasi-sci-fi in the future than in other fields.

Speaking of "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Ancient City", are there any ghosts in it?

Of course there are, for example, the blank paper man met by Hu Bayi's grandfather Hu Guohua at the beginning of the novel is transformed by a ghost and likes to eat people's hearts.

In addition, the boys and girls who were filled with mercury in the military fortress of the Kwantung Army in the island country on the border of China and Mongolia were also the same.

So after reading the original novel and watching all the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" film and television works in the previous life, these two plots are absent, because everyone knows that they will not pass the review.

Therefore, Chen Hao and others are discussing to remove these two plots.

And this discussion was quickly passed. After all, Chen Hao didn't think that he could get such preferential treatment by himself, and he would definitely not be able to pass the two paragraphs of the script.

In addition, the storyline of "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Exquisite Ancient City" is still relatively long.

Hu Ba went to the countryside to jump in the queue and met a human bear, a soldier encountered a nine-story demon pagoda, the tomb of General Wanhuhou in Mongolia encountered a red hair and finally the ancient city of Jingjue.

With all four storylines shot, and with some transitions interspersed throughout, the film should be quite long.

In this regard, Chen Hao has nothing to worry about. Let's shoot it first and then talk about it. If the duration really exceeds the standard, then it's better to edit some of the plot at that time.

"Okay, that's the discussion for the time being. Sister Na, you should revise the script according to what we just discussed when you go back." Chen Hao said, "After the revision is completed, send it to Optoelectronics for review."

"Okay, Mr. Chen." Xing Aina nodded.

After Xing Aina left, Chen Hao discussed the specific shooting matters with Hao Yi, Du Jie and Wen Muye.

"Director Chen, are you sure about the starring role?" Wen Muye asked.

Chen Hao thought for a while and said, "Hu Bayi uses Chen Kun, Shirley Yang is a fairy, and Fatty Wang should find Huang Bo. As for other roles, you can check them out by yourself. If it is suitable, you should try to use your own company people."

There are some female characters in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Exquisite Ancient City".

"Okay, Director Chen!" Wen Muye said.

"There are also primitive forests, deserts, and snow-capped mountains that will appear during the shooting process. You let the director of location selection hurry up to scout the scene, and the military fortress of the Kwantung Army and the ancient tombs involved can start to be built.

In addition, contact the Jinling Military Region to second some troops to participate in the filming. "Chen Hao said.

"I wrote it down." Wen Muye said.

"Old Haoren, the film involves the 60s, 70s, and 80s, spanning 30 years. In addition, you have to pay attention to what the imperial capital, Northeast China, and Mongolia were like at that time.

As well as the tombs of various dynasties mentioned in the film, all kinds of costumes, porcelain antiques, funerary objects, etc. that need to be photographed, you should consult with experts, and you must try to restore them as much as possible, and don’t make low-level mistakes. "Chen Hao said.

"I'll take care of things, don't worry." Hao Yi said confidently.

"That's okay, everyone will split up and prepare separately." Chen Hao said, "After the script has passed the review, we will try our best to start shooting in June."

……

Time soon came to April 2014, 4, the urban love business war TV series "Bubu Jingqing" launched by Haotian Film and Television was officially premiered exclusively on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV.

"Scary Love at Every Step" is the companion chapter of "Scary Step by Step" which was popular before.

"Bubu Jingqing" is not just a simple sequel concept, it uses all the original crew except Yaya (changed to Zhang Jiani), and it is similar to "Bubu Jingqing" in terms of character personality setting, character relationship, and story framework. "Bu Jingxin" has many connections.

This is not only the inheritance of "Scary Step by Step", but also a brand new sadomasochism story for fans.

Because the ratings of "Scary Step by Step" were very good, although the heroine was changed from Ya Ya to Zhang Jiani, the TV station still showed considerable enthusiasm for "Scary Step by Step".

Fans of "Scary Step by Step" are also looking forward to this companion piece.

On the first day of its premiere, "Scary Love at Every Step" won the average ratings of 50% in CSM1.102 cities, ranking second in the ratings of the same period.

However, the editing of the opening chapter of "Bubu Jingqing" is chaotic, the plot is broken, and the rhythm is procrastinated. In terms of character, Ruoxi Zhang Xiao also changed after her reincarnation. She changed from a "desperate thirteen sisters" who dared to love and hate to a bitter Mary Su .

And the drama of Yin Zheng brutally abusing Zhang Xiao also gave way to fans who couldn't accept it, so some fans and passers-by decided to abandon the drama, the former was extremely disappointed and the latter found it boring.

However, after the foreshadowing period, the middle and late stages of the drama show climaxes and interlocking under the impetus of strong plots, and gradually let the audience experience the thrill of chasing the drama. Those fans who watched the drama while making complaints bluntly said, give up".

Of course, there are still quite a group of diehard fans who stick to it. Their persistence has nothing to do with the quality of the episodes, but to express their support.

However, some viewers also said that although Zhang Jiani's eyes were full of tears at the beginning of "Scary Love Everywhere", she was criticized as "unintelligible".

However, the slow-paced narration, strong emotional expression, and layout rendering quickly created an adult and emotional atmosphere, which made up for the loopholes in the plot and logic to some extent.

In terms of production elements such as sets, props, and costumes, it also avoids a large number of background blurred facial close-ups, bright colors, and empty scenes that are common in levitation dramas, providing a certain amount of life information.

With the unfolding of subsequent plots, "Scary Love at Every Step" has gradually regained some word of mouth, but it has always maintained the runner-up position in the ratings of the same period.

It wasn't until the finale of the plot that he counterattacked and became the ratings champion of the night.

The final average audience rating of "Scary Everywhere" was 50% in the CSM1.189 city, which is considered a good rating, but compared with "Scary Everywhere", both the ratings and word-of-mouth have dropped a lot.

But even so, the rights to broadcast the second round of "Scary Love at Every Step" were sold out quickly, and at the same time Baodao, Xiangjiang, South Korea, and Vietnam all purchased the copyright.

……

During the broadcast of "Strange Love Every Step", the second draft of "Ghost Blowing Lamp: The Ancient City" was finalized, and then Chen Hao asked the company to give it to Optoelectronics.

At the same time, Chen Hao also called Han Sanpin and asked him to help.

Although Han Sanpin has just stepped down from the position of chairman of Huaying, he still has influence.

Chen Hao also strongly invited Han Sanpin to join Haotian Films as a production consultant.

However, Han Sanpin is still working in Huaying as a director at this time, and he will leave the job completely after a period of time, and then he will come to Haotian Films to perform his duties.

Before Han Sanpin retired, he helped Chen Hao introduce the new chairman of Huaying. The two sides met and chatted enthusiastically, but the relationship is definitely not as close as that of Han Sanpin.

In the future, we have to deal with it slowly, so now Chen Hao still called Han Sanpin.

Han Sanpin naturally agreed to help, after all years of friendship, and Han Sanpin will work in Haotian Films in the future, so he will definitely help with this.

Soon, two days after the script of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Exquisite Ancient City" was submitted, I received a reply from Optoelectronics that there was generally no problem, but the name of the movie had to be changed.

After hearing this, Chen Hao thought to himself that it was indeed the case, and the word "ghost" was still not acceptable.

However, there is no problem with the content of the script, just change the name and start shooting.

So Chen Hao thought about how to change the name, "Tomb Raider: The Ancient City"?
"Mojin Xiaowei: The Exquisite Ancient City"?
Or just go straight to "Exquisite Ancient City"?
After there were no problems with the script, Chen Hao also joined the crew to prepare, and the entire core team also accelerated the preparation progress, hoping that the film could start shooting as soon as possible.

……

Time soon came to April 2014, 4. The second film "You at the Same Table" released by Haotian Films this year officially landed in major theaters in the mainland.

This is a youth romance film starring Xiaoying and directed by Guo Fan.

Since Guo Fan's debut film "The Adventures of Li Xianji" failed at the box office, he has been pursuing a balance between art and commerce.

This "You at the Same Table" is his first attempt.

As a result, "You at the Same Table" topped the Mainland's weekly box office rankings with a box office of 1.08 million yuan in the first week, and won the weekly championship with 2.13 million yuan in the second week.

When the film was released, the box office reached 4.56 million RMB, temporarily ranking No. 2014 in the 4 annual box office list in the Mainland!
However, with the high box office, the quality of the film has been questioned.

"From the good reputation of "Those Years" to the good box office of "To Youth", movies about youth memories have become popular, and "You at the Same Table" seems to be a propositional composition."

Review of Netease Entertainment
""You at the Same Table" is the kind of platter-style movie that only pursues lively appearances. It uses all the typical elements of popular youth films, and neatly cuts into historical events to connect the plot.

This way of handling leads to the fact that the plot has been barely moving forward with the growth of the protagonist, and the completion of the story is extremely low. "
-
Review of Pain Entertainment
"Although the quality of art is not satisfactory, its product characteristics tailored for the market are destined to sell well."
