Chapter 367 Did you eat too much meat?

"Aren't we trying to reflect reality? If the military government of country T is also brought out, it will definitely be very shocking, and it will also better reflect the power of our frontline personnel!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Zhongyu was still a little aggrieved.

"What's wrong with you? You look like you're beaten by frost?"

Just when he had a headache, Jiang Shuying came over and massaged his temples. When Gu Zhongyu looked back, he saw that everyone else had left wisely, leaving only his secret.

"I'm annoyed! I don't know why the script was revised..." Gu Zhongyu rubbed his head, and then told Jiang Shuying the reason for being beaten back.

"I thought it was so difficult! Since the big plot cannot be changed, you can start with the characters!"

"figure?"

Yup!

The plot of "Operation Mekong" is a single line: the crew was killed - China united with other countries to handle the case - Gao Gang robbed people - Gao Gang pretended to be a wealthy businessman - captured the enemy in the mountains.

It is obvious that he wants to destroy the relationship between the two countries, and Nuoka is just an executor!
The reason why Nuoka is making money crazily is because the boss behind the scenes needs him as a referral!

As for Naw Kha, the original version of "Operation Mekong" not only failed to portray him with flesh and blood, but simply turned him into a villain, and it also suffered a fatal flaw - that is the problem of Naw Kha's motivation.

As a thorn in the system, his characteristics are: he does not take the usual path, does not fully follow the rules, and occasionally takes "risks" to achieve his goals.

"You have been with Gu Dacaizi for a long time, and you will always learn something."

"Okay, Secretary Jiang, you are getting better and better, and you can already guide me in writing scripts!"

Another point is the creation of the villain Nuoka.

Gu Zhongyu decided to add some interspersed scenes in the movie to show Fang Xinwu's longing for his girlfriend.

If you understand the reality, you will know clearly that the 'Mekong River Massacre' happened on the eve of the new Prime Minister's visit to China!

The inspiration is coming~
There are two main characters in the movie "Operation Mekong", Gao Gang and Fang Xinwu.

Since the plot cannot change too much, let’s start with the characters!

Lin Chaoxian's version has some shortcomings, it is still a little flat, and it falls into the image of Gao Daquan in the past main theme.

Gao Gang's character analysis in two words: 'Tou! '

hiss!
Gu Zhongyu's head suddenly became more alert!

Gu Zhongyu was very satisfied with this flattery, turned on the computer and was about to start revising.

There needs to be a suitable logical relationship to be self-consistent, which is the most basic.

Gu Zhongyu decided that he must give this character more vitality. For example, in the second story, when he pretends to be the owner of an underground casino, he can have more hand movements, curse more, or arrange for him to take drugs!
The character Fang Xinwu was brilliantly portrayed in the original version, but the only flaw was the girlfriend line, which was a bit nondescript and difficult for the audience to empathize with.

Moreover, in reality, Nuoka, or Nuokang, is a real boss-level figure who is moody and angry. How could he be as arrogant and arrogant as the movie depicts?
Therefore, Gu Zhongyu decided to transform this character into a slightly colder one, and definitely not like the pure villain image in the original version!
The last point, the loophole in the plot, Nuoka sent children to blow up the four-nation joint headquarters building.

Why did he order the killing of the Chinese crew?

Seeing Gu Zhongyu concentrating on typing, it turns out that men are the most handsome when they work hard... Jiang Shuying, who had nothing to do, simply tied up her hair and slowly lay down under the table...

In a good movie, the image of the villain is very important!

Perhaps due to censorship reasons, or perhaps Lin Chaoxian concentrated most of his energy on the role of Fang Xinwu and did not take Gao Gang into consideration.

The setting of this scene is quite abrupt, and it has the opposite effect of fragmenting the smooth single narrative of the entire story. There is not enough convincing logic!

After thinking about it, Gu Zhongyu decided to abandon this scene. It is said that this scene was specially added because Lin Chaoxian had not spent all the funds and the two actors were not available for the scene!

In about half an hour, the script was revised.

Gu Zhongyu is also fine!

"Ahem! Have you eaten too much meat recently?"

Jiang Shuying puffed out his cheeks and stood up, frowning. He wanted to spit it out, but facing Gu Zhongyu's earnest eyes, he slowly swallowed it all...

She had long ago suggested that Gu Zhongyu eat more fruits and less red meat so that the taste would not be so strong, but this bitch didn't listen to her at all and forced her to reap the consequences every time!
"Damn it! Come on, give me a kiss~"

Gu Zhongyu hurriedly avoided the kiss request from Secretary Jiang. While the two were playing around, his phone suddenly rang...

It was from classmate Da Mi Mi. I asked him if he was free next Saturday and said that I wanted to treat him to dinner.

"The Breakup Master" is still in theaters, and "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is about to be aired. At this time, as the heroine, Da Mi Mi is not going to follow the promotion and suddenly treat herself to a meal. What is she doing?
"Remember...when you visited the class before, didn't you say you wanted to get to know the artists under me?"

oh oh oh!
Gu Zhongyu immediately said: You can take some time out of your busy schedule to come!
"Looking at your arrogant look, another little girl must be in trouble!" Jiang Shuying glanced at him with disdain, then took an envelope and said, ""Happy Camp" has sent you an invitation letter again, or what? Teacher Ji wrote it himself and invites you to come over and play!"

"No... why are they always thinking about calling me?"

"Who told you that you would definitely go there next time when you were connected to their base camp last time? Teacher He said that they can postpone all the schedules, just to wait for you to come to visit us!"

It seems that they have misunderstood the meaning of the sentence "Definitely Next Time"!
Forget it, if you're not busy, just go there and treat it as a trip to Hunan to relax.

After looking at the time schedule, Teacher He Ji hoped that he would come over on Saturday, May 5st. Today is May 31st, which means next week... wouldn't it be the day when the big power said he wanted to invite him to dinner?
Why doesn’t it feel right?

……

After the script revision was completed, Gu Zhongyu drove to the Optoelectronics Bureau the next morning and presented the revised "Operation Mekong" to the relevant reviewers.

After waiting for two hours, these gentlemen finally approved it!
Gu Zhongyu didn't stop, he immediately returned to the company and gave the approved "Operation Mekong" to director Lin Chaoxian.

If you want to say who is the most hard-core action director in China, it must be Lin Chaoxian. It is indeed rare for a Hong Kong director who can make commercial blockbusters with mainland themes well.

Lin Chaoxian is also called a beastly director by many people who have worked with him. 80% of domestic actors dare not film his movies because his movies treat actresses as men and torture them. Male actors are tortured to death and cannot endure hardship. The actors will never catch his eye. The filming of "The Informant" forced Xie Bian Wang to shave his head. This is a small matter~
The 47-year-old Zha Zhahui was forced to train for nine months while filming "Guild Fight" without letting him have enough to eat~
Every actor in "Emergency Rescue" gave his life to him, and even the trainer said that the director was simply not a human being.

The most interesting thing is that because Lin Chaoxian himself is an avid military fan, when he was on the set, he did not use a loudspeaker to direct the filming like other directors, but used a gun!

According to him, it’s because his studio is always full of gunfire and too noisy. Only giving orders to shoot is the most effective way of communication...

"Mr. Gu, how much do you plan to invest in this drama?"

As an action director who has been filming for more than ten years, he can tell the general quality of a drama at a glance. The script of "Operation Mekong" is tightly paced and closely follows current events. It is full of action scenes and the background of the story is also placed in the background. The jungle of Southeast Asia is a wild land.

All these elements made him, a war maniac, satisfied. He had not encountered such a good book in recent years!
"How about two hundred million?"

"That's enough!"

Lam Chao-hsien slapped him on the thigh. Two years ago, his movie "Reverse War" only cost close to 2 million Hong Kong dollars. Unfortunately, it was rejected. From then on, no one was willing to spend so much money to make a movie with him.

"Let's decide on the actors first and then train for a period of time. At the same time, I hope you, Director Lin, will go abroad for inspection. This movie must be shot in real locations."

The script has been released, and now it’s time to prepare for the project.

After all, actors are just actors. It is impossible for them to instantly transform into brave and combat-ready anti-narcotics police officers. There must be preliminary training, including Gu Zhongyu himself.

"Well, the role of Fang Xinwu is about thirty years old. If he needs to be handsome and has good acting skills, he must be Mr. Gu. What about Gao Gang?"

"Do you have any recommendations for suitable candidates?"

Lin Chaoxian hesitated for a moment, then said: "I think among mainland actors... Zhang Hanyu is the most suitable!"

It's true. He is about forty years old, with dark skin and a strong body. Apart from Zhang Hanyu, I can't think of any other mainland actor who is suitable for this role.

But...the problem is that Zhang Hanyu is the leading male artist of Huayi Company and belongs to a rival company. This is also the reason for Lin Chaoxian's hesitation. After all, the struggle between Zongheng and Huayi is almost obvious now.

In fact, Gu Zhongyu didn't care. If Huayi was willing to let him go, he really wanted Zhang Hanyu, the original actor, to be in the role.

Speaking of things, he still felt that it would be better to find actors based on the roles.

"Okay, I'll go back and ask Zhang Hanyu what he said... You should take a look at the other characters first. By the way, the heroine, don't move yet. I have other plans!"

The only outstanding female character in "Operation Mekong" is the dashing and heroic policewoman Guo Bing. Among the female artists within Zongheng, Li Yuan is actually the most suitable, followed by Wan Qian. If you can use your own people, you should definitely use your own. Better.

……

Zhang Hanyu is an actor under Huayi.

He was also the one who made Feng Pants famous. It stands to reason that when Gu Zhongyu asked him to star in "Operation Mekong", he could refuse.

But he also liked the character Gao Gang, so he had no choice but to find Feng Pants and ask for his opinion.

After all, the relationship between Huayi and Gu Zhongyu is so tense now!

"Hanyu, this role is very good, why don't you take it?"

Of course Feng Pengtong knew that Gu Zhongyu was looking for Zhang Hanyu in his new drama. To be honest, he didn't want Zhang Hanyu to act in this drama.

But Zhang Hanyu is his little brother, Feng Pants can’t cheat him!

"Aren't I worried that you will overthink it?"

"Don't worry, Gu Zhongyu doesn't have any evil intentions, but he's a bit ungrateful. You have to listen to me and accept this drama!"

Seeing Zhang Hanyu nod, Feng Pants continued: "Our film market is no longer normal. Look at these actors. What kind of actors are they choosing? They are all young talents. Now when they are deciding the roles , what they consider is not the actor’s acting skills, but the artist’s search volume. In their view, as long as fans buy it, the movie will never lose money!”

At the end, he added: "There are not many investors who can choose actors based on character characteristics like that guy Gu Zhongyu!"

As capital entered the market, the value of artists began to skyrocket.

Tai Shigong said as early as thousands of years ago, "Every bustling world is for benefit, and the bustle in the world is for benefit."

The Chinese entertainment industry is so big, how many real performing artists are there?

Most artists are not thinking about making money quickly!

So, when these new film and television companies with checks were established, they made movies not only for the best, but for the most expensive ones!
I wish they could both appear in a movie at the same time!

Of course, it is almost impossible to do this, because Sidan Shuangbing has her own pursuits, and they really don’t lack that much money!

Then settle for the next best thing and find some popular celebrities and popular entertainers.

Sometimes, you know that you are acting in a bad movie, but you still sign the crew agreement without hesitation. Why?
It’s not because of money!

The most obvious example is "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" by Huang Jiaozhu and Da Mi Mi. Everyone knows that it is definitely a bad movie - from the start of filming to the release, it took two months to complete!

Chinese characteristic movie process!

In fact, in 2014, the entertainment industry with Chinese characteristics has already begun to take shape.

The maximum bonus for a scientist is only 500 million yuan, while the salary for an actor can easily reach hundreds of millions.

At present, the remuneration of the main stars of a film in my country can account for more than 50% of the total investment, and even as high as 70%.

Actors, on the other hand, earn hundreds of millions of dollars in salary, but they produce one bad film after another that makes people feel embarrassed and want to sleep while sitting in front of the screen.

After all, why are actors paid so much?

Analyzing it from a micro level, the current entertainment industry is a producer-centered system. After investors spend money, of course "others have to listen to him!"
