The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 213 The Anti-Routine Heroine

Night fell, there was no moon, no stars tonight, and the sky was pitch black.

It hangs above the ground like a black balloon.

In the bustling city, the night is like day, beams of light shoot out from the ground, breaking through layers of clouds, trying to make the balloon brighter.

From evening till now, they have been competing with each other.

In a chic small courtyard in Yanjing DC area, the lights are on at this time, and in the living room, two middle-aged men are chatting.

The man on the left is about 50 years old, with a thin face, kind eyebrows and kind eyes. He looks like a kind and talkative person. His name is Zhang Yimou, and he is a famous old man.

The man on the right is a few years younger, with a flushed face and a few streaks of flesh. He looks fierce. His name is Zhang Weiping, and he is Lao Mouzi's partner, a well-known film producer in the Mainland.

"Hero" has been finished, and all post-production has been completed, and the next step is to get the broadcast license, and then it can be released.

After working hard for more than a year, Lao Mouzi could finally relax, so he asked his assistant to buy some fruits, good wine and good food, and taste them leisurely at his own home.

Zhang Weiping came to accompany Lao Mouzi.

The two chatted while eating, probably out of boredom, Lao Mouzi turned on the TV.

This TV series has only been played seven or eight times since I bought it. The nanny often wipes it, and it is still very new.

Lao Mouzi is locked on Shonan Satellite TV.

Zhang Weiping waved her hand, "Give it to me, I'll watch the TV series of Gusu Satellite TV."

Compared with Lao Mouzi, Zhang Weiping naturally has more leisure time. Recently, he has been hearing people say "My name is Jin Ailing", saying that this drama is different from traditional romantic dramas and is more interesting.

If you have time, watch it with your friends.

Zhang Weiping took the remote control and transferred it to Suzhou Satellite TV, where "My Name Is Jin Ailing" was playing.

Yan Ni's big face suddenly appeared on the screen.

Unlike the beautiful and gentle heroines of previous romantic dramas, the heroine of this drama is very mournful at first glance.

Lao Mouzi was amused, "Do you watch this kind of drama?"

Zhang Weiping chuckled, "I don't watch it, but many people recommended me to watch it, saying that it is a very interesting drama. Now the screenwriters in the domestic TV drama circle regard this drama as a treasure book to study."

He went on to say: "It's a Fenghua drama, the script that guy Li Shengyao made up, what do you think?"

Lao Mouzi naturally knows that Li Shengyao, a TV drama director who has risen rapidly in just two years, is said to be a bit of a golden talent. Every drama is a hit, every drama is a hit, and he can earn foreign exchange.

Many people say that Lee Seung Yew is a trickster among TV drama directors.

He was also curious about Li Shengyao, and when he had time, he nodded, "Let's take a look."

The biggest difference between "My name is Jin Ailing" and other idol dramas is that it has created a very real and anti-routine heroine.

This heroine is not only old, ordinary, rustic, lazy, and has a bad temper. At first glance, the audience will think that the heroine is not worthy of the hero.

But if you look at it slowly, you will gradually discover that the heroine has an interesting and sincere personality charm besides the appearance, and you may even feel that the hero is not worthy of the heroine.

It is this contrast that makes this drama stand out.

Just like a normal idol drama, if the heroine confesses and is rejected by the hero, she will inevitably cry and cry, her eyes will be red and she will not eat or drink for several days, so as to shape the relationship between the two.

But "My name is Jin Ailing" is different. After the heroine was rejected, she felt a little lost, and then thought of her age, she immediately cheered up, dressed up carefully, and then went on a blind date with anticipation.

Another example is that the heroine quarreled with the hero, and the hero drove away, leaving the heroine alone on the side of the road.

In a normal romantic drama, the heroine is probably standing on the side of the road, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, hoping that God can see her sadness, and then there will be a heavy rain, which will make the hero anxious and rush to pick her up.

But Jin Ailing was different. She immediately waved her hand to stop the car, and soon a truck carrying pigs stopped. Although the truck had a smell, the heroine got on the car and expressed her thanks.

There are many similar plots. Although this is a romantic drama, Jin Ailing is very real. She is different from the heroine of ordinary romantic dramas. In her opinion, love is very important, but life and career are also important.

Although she is an uneducated woman, her cognition is very clear.

There was a scene where she was on a blind date, and the male protagonist saw it, and became jealous, and pulled her to confess his love and kissed her.

If it was an ordinary romantic drama, the heroine would probably fall, and the next step would be to spread dog food.

But Jin Ailing was very sober. She calmly asked if the relationship between the hero and his ex-girlfriend had been dealt with?Have you already had the courage to take her to meet her family, have you really decided to be together for the rest of your life?

This heroine is really anti-routine, very unusual.

This makes many plots in this drama that you think will have different follow-ups, and there is an unexpected but reasonable harvest.

Although Lao Mouzi is not very good at telling stories, but with his ability, it is natural to see at a glance that the charm of "My Name is Jin Ailing" is the anti-routine heroine.

While watching, he pointed out these routines that are different from traditional romantic dramas.

Zhang Weiping nodded while listening, "I still have to be a professional, I find it novel, but you know where the point is."

Lao Mouzi smiled, then picked up an orange, peeled it, and put it in his mouth. It was very sweet, "How is the rating of this show?"

"Very good, hopefully more than ten points."

Dramas with more than ten points were usually big CCTV dramas in the past.

Lao Mouzi nodded, and then slowly said: "In this case, I will have more confidence."

"My name is Jin Ailing" is an anti-routine, but the ratings are still high, which shows that ordinary people can't accept the new theme setting, mainly depends on whether the story is interesting or not.

The "Hero" prepared by Lao Mouzi will soon be the first blockbuster movie in the mainland. He needs the audience to have a vision of development and appreciate the beauty of novelty.

Although the success of "I am Jin Ailing" does not mean that "Hero" will definitely be popular, it is at least a positive signal.

Mainland audiences are actually not that bad, they are very receptive.

Zhang Weiping smiled upon hearing this, "Don't worry about that."

He went on to say: "I let you watch this drama because I want you to see the ability of Director Li. Do you think he can write a script for us?"

Now there are fewer and fewer good stories, and there are fewer good stories that can be recognized by the audience and attract the audience.

Zhang Weiping knew Li Shengyao well, and knew that all the dramas he filmed were scripts written by himself, so he wanted to see if he could use his scripts for filming.

Lao Mouzi thought for a while, then shook his head, "The books he wrote are all very modern, and the dramas I shoot tend to have a sense of the age, so he should not be suitable."

"But he is a genius, we can often pay attention to him, maybe we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."
