Chapter 281 New album, costume drama confirmed

"Panic Island" is released.

Gu Shouchun has screwed up three movies in a row. If he followed the rules of a mature business society, he would have "struck out" long ago.

But in China, he is still a well-known director, and his appeal is still there.

As a result, "The Island" had a box office of 8200 million on its first day, firmly occupying the top spot, pushing "The Secret" into second place.

After all, "The Secret" has been released for nearly two weeks, so it's very normal compared to the new movie.

Su Zhe is also very calm and does not care about the immediate victory or defeat, but is more concerned about the reputation of "Panic Island".

The media was full of praise, praising Gu Shouchun's skills as before, and the film is full of thoughts.

But the public reputation collapsed immediately:

[It made me dizzy to see a group of people living on a deserted island, and then they started playing house? 】

[It seems like a metaphor? Through a group of people on a desert island, it alludes to real-life phenomena, including populism, ZZ and the like. 】

[The idea is profound, but the story is too confusing. 】

This was also Su Zhe's doubt when he read the script. Now it seems that the finished film has not changed.

Those so-called ideological things are actually commonplace things that have not yet been discussed in depth by the political standing committee members. However, Gu Shouchun felt that he had unique ideas and refused to tell stories well.

In the end, the story was all in disarray. It distorted the character's character for the sake of metaphor, resulting in a confusing plot. It also boasted that it was an elite and others could not understand it.

I really want to use a metaphor and see how "Let the Bullets Fly" is done——

Tell the story first!

"This film relies entirely on the fame of the director and the lead actor to deceive the audience. It doesn't pose much of a threat."

Su Zhe felt relieved when he saw how bad his opponent was.

He doesn't even pay much attention to when the [Anti-Black Talisman] will take effect, since it will definitely not disappoint him anyway.

In this case, let’s just focus on making the album.

For this love song album, he planned to include all the best songs, just like the folk album.

Anyway, there are so many songs in my memory, so don’t search for them. Is it still divided into title songs and non-title songs?
"Did you make a mistake? If the person who traveled next door saw it, he thought I couldn't copy the song! Who can sing with just these few songs? Jay Chou, JJ, Wu Fei, Lin Dan, damn, one song each! Get them all! "

Su Zhe wants everyone to recognize——

"The products produced by Su Zhe must be high-quality!"

So in the next few days, Su Zhe stayed in the recording studio and even missed the excitement of [Anti-Black Talisman]——

There is news from UMass:
[A group of international students were arrested for drug driving! 】

This was not a hot news originally. After all, the halo of international students has long faded, and the public also knows that there are three types of international students:
One kind studies well, and the other kind has a rich family.

There is also a kind of film that is very heavy-mouthed.

But what caught the public’s attention was that among this group of international students, there was Gu Shouchun’s daughter—Gu Jiajia!

Gu Jiajia is also relatively well-known in China. She has always been a positive example of Gu Shouchun's good education. When counting the second generation stars, she can always be found in the top few.

In almost all reports about her, she is praised as an "academic master". Gu Shouchun also likes to create a persona of "a strict tutor and good at educating children" and sends his daughter to study abroad.

She will graduate next year, and Gu Shouchun has paved a bright road for her to enter the entertainment industry.

Even well-informed marketing accounts have listed Gu Jiajia as one of the stars waiting to explode in the entertainment industry.

I never expected that it would be exposed first before it could be exploded.

Then Su Zhe saw——

[Completely expose Gu Shouchun: Education is good]

[Drawing Reward: Oil Painting (Top Level)]

"The painting skills are not very practical, but they are pretty good. They are better than the sewing machine skills..."

Su Zhe muttered in his heart, instead of studying the skills in depth, he checked the news casually.

After Gu Jiajia's identity as a "student tyrant" was exposed, various negative news came:
[Actually, Gu Jiajia is a playboy in China. She shows off her celebrities all day long and is very vain. 】

[After I went abroad, no one took care of me, and I even repeated a grade in language school! If it weren't for his father's money, he wouldn't have been able to go to college. 】

[She and I go to the same school, and she is famous. She has no prostitution in her dealings! 】

【...Liu Yuxi hates you! 】

"Pfft!" Su Zhe couldn't help laughing when he saw these netizens' comments.

What makes him even more happy is that under the influence of the film's reputation and the scandal of Gu Shouchun's daughter, the box office of "Panic Island" has been greatly affected, and the gap has been narrowed by "Secret".

Yan Xiling also made a special trip to call Su Zhe to announce the good news:
"Su Zhe, you are practicing metaphysics again!"

Su Zhe:? ? ?
Since the last time there were rumors of "raising a kid", his metaphysical attributes have become more and more famous.

Of course, Su Zhe firmly refused to admit it and quickly explained:

"Gu Shouchun's daughter is at the University of Massachusetts, what does it have to do with me? Gu Shouchun has not been banned, how can he accuse me of metaphysics?"

Yan Xiling smiled and said:
"Gu Shouchun's backstage is too tough. Unless he goes against the country, he can't be banned. No matter how much dirt he has, it's useless. But his daughter can't debut, which makes him crazy."

In fact, Yan Xiling was just joking. There are not many people who really believe in "little devil", even in the circle.

She asked about the album again, and Su Zhe said cheerfully:

"I've finished recording and I'm currently picking out the album title. It's so difficult!"

Yan Xiling smiled and said:
"You, you never hesitate when writing songs, but it is difficult to name it. The easiest way is to name it after the title song."

There was a hint of confidence in Su Zhe's tone:

"There is no title song, or rather, it is all title songs."

Yan Xiling said in surprise:

"You wrote 12 love songs? It's really not in vain to fall in love with them!"

Su Zhe: ...

He quickly changed the subject:
"Sister Yan, I've finished the album. You can do the promotion. I want to think about the next TV series."

After hanging up the phone, Su Zhe suddenly had an idea——

"I'm so stupid! After thinking about so many costume dramas, I actually forgot the most important Jin Yong drama!"

These are all male-led dramas! Unlike later costume dramas, almost all of which have female protagonists.

As for the ratings and reputation, not to mention, it can be said to be enduring and has been remade many times, all of which are classics!
Moreover, in the previous life, Jin Yong's drama was filmed too many times, and gold and jade came first, so it was difficult for the remake to come up with new ideas.

But there is no Jin Yong in this world, and there are no Jin Yong dramas. Su Zhe has no burden of previous works. He can paint on a blank sheet of paper and make a classic easily.

"That's great! You can film a Jin Yong drama! It can be used as Long Aotian's trump card IP in the future!"

The more Su Zhe thought about it, the more excited he became:
"There are also Gu Long's classics, such as Li Xunhuan, Lu Xiaofeng, Peerless Twins, etc. Although TV series are more difficult to change, they are all classic characters."

But to be on the safe side, he will definitely film Jin Yong dramas that are easier to adapt to film and television first.

"But which one should I choose? They are all classics!"

First of all, exclude Fei Xue Lian Bai and Shu Yi Bi Yuan, which have relatively mediocre ratings.

So there are only a few movies left. Su Zhe counts them one by one:

""Dragon"? This movie is highly rated, with a wonderful plot, multi-line narrative, and martial arts between fantasy and martial arts, which is very suitable for special effects. But it has to be shot according to the triptych version, and the newly revised version cannot be shot (Wang Yuyan left Duan Yu Looking for Murong Fu)."

Su Zhe was a little moved, but he felt that he was not suitable to play Qiao Feng, let alone Xu Zhu (the ugly monk), so he could only play Duan Yu.

From the plot analysis, Duan Yu should be the first male protagonist in "Tian Long Ba Bu", and his experience perfectly matches the male protagonist Shuangwen——

He was born into a noble family, had many adventures along the way, opened up a large harem, and had brothers who were awesome and pretended to be cool.

But anyone who has watched "Dragon" will recognize Gang Leader Qiao even more. He is the undoubted male protagonist. "If I can't, I will play Qiao Feng...but Qiao Feng is more handsome than Murong Fu and Duan Yu? It always feels weird."

Su Zhe complained in his heart.

"Forget it, let's put it aside for now, then shoot - "The Deer and the Cauldron"?"

This anti-martial arts novel may be Jin Yong's most outstanding novel. The TV series is humorous and interesting, and the various plots are very suitable for new media dissemination.

But as an anti-martial arts novel, Su Zhe always felt that it would be more contrasting to make some outstanding martial arts works first, and then release "The Deer and the Cauldron".

"Let's put it aside for now."

Then there are only "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Swordsman", "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword" and "Xia Ke Xing".

Su Zhe thought about the male protagonists in these movies, and it was obvious that the most handsome among them was Yang Guo.

"My appearance is just for Yang Guo."

The most important thing about playing Yang Guo is that he is "unremarkable". If he is not like Bai Gu, who has the appearance that book friends admit is "inspiring", then he should not play this role as soon as possible.

Otherwise, like a certain leader, it will become one of the biggest black spots in the early days.

There is still a big problem when filming "The Condor" -

It is connected with "Shooting the Condor". Without "Shooting the Condor", we would not know about Yang Guo's life experience or the abomination of Yang Kang;

Without "The Condor", I don't know about Guo Jing and Uncle Guo's "The great chivalrous person serves the country and the people", and I don't know why Huang Rong was wary of Yang Guo;

Without "Shooting the Condor", one would not know the "Nine Yin Manual", Huashan Sword Theory, and Lao Wu Jue.

Su Zhe was numb:

"You can't film "The Condor" first before filming "The Condor", right? The investment is a bit big."

Or add this information to "The Condor"?
That would require him to drastically change the original work. He really didn't have that much confidence in himself.

"Hey, the last part of the Condor Trilogy, "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer", is also difficult to film for the same reason."

In fact, this film only needs to explain the origin of the Yitian Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Knife. Even Zhang Sanfeng's secret love for Guo Xiang does not need to be written too much and can be treated as a background plot.

But Su Zhe thought about it and decided to shoot the Condor Trilogy in order.

In the end, only "The Swordsman" and "Xia Ke Xing" were left.

"Comparing these two movies, I would definitely choose "The Swordsman"!"

But Su Zhe always felt a little awkward.

In fact, "Swordsman" ranks among the top three among Jin Yong's works. Except for some problems with some private works, the level is very high.

But there is a problem -

Linghu Chong.

Linghu Chong was once one of the most charming male protagonists in Jin Yong's dramas. He was handsome, free and easy, attached great importance to love and righteousness, and his character background was also very unique - a hermit.

But after the Internet age, as countless people carefully dissected the plot, Linghu Chong's image gradually collapsed.

Befriending Tian Boguang, a prostitute, and being brothers with Xiang Wentian, who killed innocent passers-by, became a crime that he could not escape.

And his attitude towards the Huashan School and his master Yue Buqun also caused a lot of controversy.

"It has to be changed."

Su Zhe sighed, pondered for a long time, and realized with self-knowledge that it would be difficult for him to change, so he simply called Song Xianzhong, the director and screenwriter of "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty".

He is best at handling this kind of political metaphor role when making historical dramas.

In front of real historical figures, even if Jin Yong is a martial arts master, the characters he creates cannot be compared with real historical figures.

Is Yue Buqun a "gentleman's sword"? How about compared with Wang Mang? When you usurp the throne, the world recognizes you, and this is called a good reputation!

Su Zhe was not worried about Song Xianzhong's level, only worried that he would not like martial arts dramas.

Unexpectedly, Song Xianzhong readily agreed after hearing his request:
"Come on, let's find a quiet place to chat."

After the last cooperation, Song Xianzhong had a very good impression of Su Zhe, which is why he was so happy.

Su Zhe went to meet with Song Xianzhong without saying anything. He spent almost the whole afternoon talking, his mouth was dry, and he finally finished roughly telling the story of "The Swordsman".

"What an interesting martial arts drama, it actually combines it with political metaphors." Song Xianzhong praised, "This is already an excellent script. What do you want to change?"

Su Zhe expressed his concerns.

Song Xianzhong thought for a while and said:
"There are two ways to change it, it depends on which one you choose."

Su Zhe quickly asked:

"Which two?"

Song Xianzhong stretched out a finger:
"The first method is very simple. You only need to modify the details: Tian Boguang is not a thief, but a playboy and a scumbag;"

Su Zhe couldn't help but nod: Is it not a big problem for Linghu Chong to be friends with a scumbag?

Song Xianzhong continued:

"Xiang Wentian doesn't kill innocent passers-by, he only kills people from the demon sect who are chasing him;"

Su Zhe continued to nod and asked:
"What about Yue Buqun? It's hard to change this."

Song Xianzhong said directly:

"It's simple. Just add some plot and say that Yue Buqun received money when he taught Linghu Chong martial arts. After he taught him, he used him as a dead soldier without paying him any salary. If he had a falling out, he asked Ning Zhongze to kneel down to him. I will expel him from the school and take back his fox character."

Su Zhe: ...

If Song Xianzhong wasn't from this world, Su Zhe would have suspected who he was hinting at.

"It's very exciting. The only problem is that Linghu has a compound surname and the character "Hu" was not given by Yue Buqun."

Su Zhe complained.

"Just understand the meaning." Song Xianzhong smiled, stared at Su Zhe, and asked, "Want to know the second method?"

"I'd like to hear the details." Su Zhe was very interested. In his opinion, the first method was very good.

Song Xianzhong immediately became serious:
"Let's make a comprehensive overhaul! Make the calculations of the various forces more realistic, and make the choices of characters more difficult. Linghu Chong can have a more complex character, as if this is a real history with martial arts!"

Su Zhe was shocked. If Song Xianzhong's idea was followed, wouldn't it become a martial arts version of "Song of Ice and Fire"?
After Song Xianzhong finished speaking, he looked at Su Zhe with burning eyes.

Su Zhe hesitated——

He was unsure of the quality after the overhaul.

If it is improved, it may surpass the original work and become the most classic martial arts drama;

If the changes are bad, the script will be wasted!
"Otherwise, let's follow the first method."

Su Zhe was scared. After all, just by modifying the details, he could get an excellent "The Swordsman". No matter the ratings or reputation, it would not be bad, and even the image of the most criticized Linghu Chong would be improved.

So why take the risk and overhaul it?

Human nature is risk-averse and we have to take risks just to make a profit.

But time travelers don’t need it! Again--

Why take risks when you can achieve guaranteed success?
"Of course, it's a good choice."

Song Xianzhong nodded without any objection, but with a hint of disappointment in his tone.

Su Zhe stood up to say goodbye, but when he was about to go out, he suddenly stopped.

——He is unwilling to give up!
"You clearly have the opportunity to obtain a classic that surpasses your previous life, but you give up because of timidity?"

"In this life, will you gain fame and fortune by reproducing the works of your previous life?"
