The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 125 Adaptation
At 2001 o'clock in the morning on November 11, 4, the sky in Shanghai was cloudy and it was going to rain anytime.

On the set of "Signal", a very important scene of the first case is being filmed.

In this scene, after the two male protagonists contacted through the walkie-talkie, the young policeman learned the kidnapper's information. He was very angry, and he shouted loudly in front of the media interview that he wanted to deter the criminal.

In the Korean version, all cases of "Signal" will be blocked by the bosses of the three protagonists.

However, Li Shengyao's adaptation naturally couldn't be filmed like this, otherwise it would not be able to pass the trial. In the mainland version, most of the cases are very supportive of the actions of the protagonists.

Only in the last case, there was an inner ghost obstructing the police, and he would finally be brought to justice.

The reason why the scene being filmed now is important is because it is a major psychological change for the young policeman.

Before, he just wanted to live his whole life in a wimpy way, just fooling around.

But the 15-year perseverance of the little girl's mother touched him. At this moment, he vowed to catch the murderer.

The young policeman is Guo Xiaodong, and this is a rare explosive scene in his play.

The Korean version has a lot of yelling scenes, most of which were deleted by Lee Sung Yew.

The Korean version of "Signal" did not reach the heights of "Silent Witness" and "The Long Season" in Li Shengyao's mind, because of some redundant settings, it was very dramatic.

For example, in order to reverse, constantly increase the difficulty.

For example, in order to arouse the emotions of the audience, young policemen often yell.

For example, for some novelty-hunting shots, playing tricks.

In fact, it is not necessary. An excellent criminal investigation drama must be true. It reflects an era and is an in-depth study of a group of people.

Of course, there are some important heart-changing plots, which must be preserved.

For example, the scene to be filmed now.

With angry, righteous and powerful cries, the young policeman declared war on the criminals.

Guo Xiaodong has read the script a long time ago, now is the time to test his acting skills.

Li Shengyao gave Guo Xiaodong some time to prepare, and then waved his hands to shoot.

"I know who you are. You used to work in Qingshan Mental Hospital. You are about 35 years old. You love vanity and like to buy high-end cosmetics. You killed that child and you killed your partner. I will definitely catch you. You can't escape."

The setting in the Korean version is that there is a prosecution period, so the hero and heroine race against time to catch the murderer.

Although the mainland also has a prosecution period, the mainland can prosecute indefinitely for such a major case as a murder case.

Therefore, the settings of the Korean version cannot be used.

But it doesn't matter, Li Shengyao was changed into a murderer and was about to leave Shanghai and fly to the beautiful country. If the hero and heroine don't catch her, this sinful woman will get away with it completely.

The same is the countdown setting.

In addition, the Korean version of the young policeman is a criminal profiler, but there is no such profession in the mainland. Li Shengyao changed it to a high-achieving police academy student who likes psychology.

At this time, Guo Xiaodong shouted those lines in front of the camera with an angry face.

He probably focused on "anger", justice, less sense of power, and shouted a little bluntly.

It's like a person has fallen, feeling impotent and furious.

Li Shengyao shook his head, and after calling for a stop, he came to Guo Xiaodong, and told him the shooting request.

Guo Xiaodong thought about it seriously, and then continued to shoot, but after three consecutive shots, the effect was not good.

Li Shengyao noticed that Guo Xiaodong was a little distracted, and then he noticed that outside the crew, many reporters were staring with cameras.

"Don't you like those reporters?"

Guo Xiaodong scratched his head and said embarrassingly: "Director, you are famous now, I'm afraid that if you don't perform well, your reputation will be ruined."

"Damn it, you're the only one who can ruin my reputation. Hurry up and act seriously. Don't pay attention to those reporters. NG will be NG. Many actors will be NG, and so will my crew."

At this moment, a plot consultant, that is, a retired old policeman, stood up, "Young man, let me play it again. You can learn a little bit, it will definitely work."

Li Shengyao smiled and clapped his hands, "Come on, we welcome Uncle Liu to act for us."

The old policeman wanted to have an addiction to the drama, and then stood in front of the camera, cadenced, full of emotion, and said the line just now.

Although he is old, he is full of spirit, and that line seems to have a breath of air, and after he shouted it, he carried the word "justice".

Li Shengyao didn't expect the old cop to act so well, he couldn't help clapping his hands, "Okay, good acting."

The old policeman was also proud, "Director, later arrange a few roles for our brothers, passers-by are also fine, let us have a good time."

"no problem."

Li Shengyao asked the old policeman to sit down and rest, and then said to Guo Xiaodong: "Did you see, those words that Uncle Liu yelled just now, not only contained anger, but also strength and self-confidence. determination to win."

Guo Xiaodong lowered his head and thought about it, then nodded, "Director, give me a little time, I'll feel it."

"Okay, think about it carefully."

Li Shengyao then ignored Guo Xiaodong, came to several plot consultants, chatted with them, and talked about the previous investigation of the case.

After 15 minutes, Guo Xiaodong raised his hand and said he was ready.

Then the filming continued, and this time Guo Xiaodong shouted much better, not only his eyes, but also his voice with a sense of faith that justice will prevail.

But it didn't reach the level of Li Shengyao's satisfaction, and took four more shots, which made Li Shengyao satisfied.

He clapped his hands and shouted: "Very well, we are ready for the next scene."

Outside the studio, many reporters saw this scene, and Takuo from Jincheng naturally also knew about it.

He immediately wrote his own news headlines.

"Lee Sing Yew kept improving, and it took a total of nine shots to complete it."

There are also some reporters who recorded it, and the title will be much damaged.

"Guo Xiaodong is a big disappointment, his performance is not as good as that of an ordinary man."

"Shooting nine times in a row, Li Shengyao was disappointed and furious, Guo Xiaodong may be a fool who can't afford it."

"November in Shanghai is colder because of Guo Xiaodong."

Takuo noticed, chuckled and shook his head.

He felt that Lee Seung-yeo's reputation was just right now, and the common people liked news that was only good about Lee Seung-yeo, and they didn't like to read bad news.

If these few people write like this, no one will read it.

At this time, the studio was preparing for the next scene, Li Shengyao was writing something in a notebook, Zhuo Wei thought about it, then raised his camera and took a photo.

Then I wrote down a sentence.

"Director Lee Shing Yew focuses on his work, he is a role model for internal entertainment."

He intends to support Lee Sheng Yew in the future and have a good relationship with this future great director, so they are all good words.

Before he played "Winter Sonata" to bring more sales to the newspaper, he believes that "Signal" can still do it now.
