Chapter 348 New movie, Spring Festival Gala is coming again

After the martial arts trilogy, Long Aotian's funds were extremely sufficient, and he could barely support even if he started shooting five TV series at the same time.

Zhang Hongwei felt a little worried, but also very excited, and looked through these five martial arts books.

He discovered that "The Legend of Heaven and the Sword of the Dragon", "The Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon" and "The Story of the Deer and the Cauldron" have both novels and scripts;

However, "Xiao Li Fei Dao" and "Peerless Two Prides" only have novels and no scripts.

"Why don't these two movies have scripts?"

Zhang Hongwei asked curiously.

Su Zhe explained casually:

"The styles of these two novels are very unique. I don't know how to adapt them. You can find some excellent screenwriters to adapt them."

Zhang Hongwei understood and divided the book into two parts:

"Then let's film these three movies first, and find someone to adapt these two novels at the same time. By the way, I can't do it alone, so let Dong Wenxue help me."

"And Xu Cui, help me carry it." Su Zhe said casually.

"I plan to make a detective movie. Some plots are not convenient to take place in China and need to be shot in Southeast Asia."

After Su Zhe thought about it, he said to Zhang Hongwei:

The second is word-of-mouth. Each one is worse than the other, but there are so many fans and the amount of discussion is terrifying.

As for the issue of the reputation of one film being worse than the other, Su Zhe thought about it for a moment and thought to himself:

"In the second part, the case is okay (after all, "Twin Eyes"), but there are also flaws, especially the inexplicable hacker, which is an insult to the intelligence. It's best to find a master to correct it."

Su Zhe waved his hand and said in a low-key voice:

"Not yet, I'm just thinking about what kind of movie I want to make?"

"When will you write the movie script? I have to find a producer who is familiar with Southeast Asia and start filming and casting."

"You can directly copy the first one. This one has the best quality but the lowest box office, but there's nothing you can do about it. After all, it's a pioneering film. But with my current appeal, the box office will definitely be higher than in my previous life."

"Southeast Asia? There is a lot of investment, right?" Zhang Hongwei was a little stunned. After calculating Long Aotian's funds, he felt that it was a bit risky.

Su Zhe was afraid of scaring him, so he spoke for a while:

"The script is being written slowly, but this week I can come up with an outline, so I can start filming and casting. By the way, I have chosen the leading actors, myself, Li Daoqiang, and You Mengli, but there are some important supporting roles that need to be chosen by comedians. Actors are very important."

Su Zhe was thoughtful:

"make money……"

"Yes, as long as you are the screenwriter, there has never been a failure!"

Zhang Hongwei couldn't help but praise:

"Mr. Su, you can make money in any type of movie!"

Zhang Hongwei nodded, gritted his teeth and said:

"Detective Chinatown" series?

"Hey, it seems okay?" Su Zhe's heart moved as he analyzed the potential of this series -

"Wolf Warrior" series? No military connection, put on hold for now.

"You can find one or two stars, but they must fit the character, otherwise we would rather use newcomers." Su Zhe was very confident, "Remember, no matter who you hire to star, the biggest selling point will be me!"

"Changjin Lake"? When shooting the main theme, the details must be checked by the above, otherwise it is easy to make taboos and coordination will be too troublesome.

Su Zhe immediately made a calculation——

The first is the box office. The total box office of the three films is nearly 90 billion. Among them, the third film has poor quality and disgusting advertisements. The box office declined during the face mask period and it encountered strong enemies when it was released. It still earned more than 45 billion at the box office.

"Li Huanying"? Forget about copying works, it still feels a bit strange to recognize someone else’s mother. Let’s put it aside for now.

Finally, there is the protagonist. When he plays Qin Feng, there is no doubt that he is very suitable.

He decided to accompany Su Zhe on the adventure and talked about the movie:

"This is a hen that lays golden eggs!" The more Su Zhe analyzed, the more excited he became. "After that, my TV series will have Jin Gu Wuxia, and my movie will have Tang Tan Universe... Invincible!"

So if you want to catch up with this year’s Spring Festival, you need to start preparations now.

"I really don't have any interest. I have been filming martial arts dramas and I am worried about being stereotyped." Su Zhe didn't finish his words and thought, "And you can't just film TV dramas, but also prepare movies and prepare for the Spring Festival in advance."

"The third part... let's find a screenwriter to rewrite it."

The biggest selling point of Jin Yong’s drama adaptations is always Jin Yong!

In Detective Tang 1, Chen He, Xiao Yang, Xiao Shenyang and others performed very well.

Just choose from the highest-grossing movies from past lives!

He couldn't help but ask:

"How about stabilizing it? Let's film each episode, or pre-sell the TV series."

"The Wandering Earth" series? It was too challenging for the director and he didn’t dare to shoot.

Zhang Hongwei understands:

"Okay, I will contact the actor first."

He doesn't have enough capital now, and he still has to focus on making money, but he no longer needs to consider costs or box office return ratio.

Zhang Hongwei nodded, but couldn't help but persuade:

"Mr. Su, are you really not going to act?"

With his current appeal, the movie must be placed in the Spring Festival period to maximize the box office.

"Don't waste time, seize the opportunity." Su Zhe vetoed the first suggestion, but did not veto the second. "You can try pre-sale, but don't compromise too much on the price. These TV series are all classics."

But he can't always rush to the scene like he did when he was filming "Tumor King". After all, those high-grossing movies in my memory could not be finished in a month or two.

"You also prepared a movie script?" Zhang Hongwei was stunned and couldn't imagine it at all.

Just tonight...

Zhang Hongwei feels a little difficult:

"But these movie buyers don't look at the quality, they only look at the actors! If you don't act, it will be difficult for the price to go up, so you can only find stars to act."

Su Zhe felt very relaxed. He gave Zhang Hongwei money just to save himself trouble:

"Mr. Zhang, thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Hongwei said politely:

"Mr. Su has worked hard. We, Long Aotian, have invested so much all at once. Success or failure depends on your script. You are the key!"

Judging from the tone, he was still a little worried.

Su Zhe smiled and didn't explain much. After sending Zhang Hongwei away, he worked hard at home...playing games.

After he finished playing the game, he took out a pen and paper, wrote five words, took a photo and posted it on Weibo:

[A poor screenwriter who works all night to finish the draft. 】

He was pretending, but fans were extremely excited:

["Detective Chinatown"? Brother, do you want to make a detective film? 】

【I’m looking forward to it so much! 】

[I can’t wait to watch it. How can I travel to one year later? 】

[Take a brick and shout hard on your head. If you succeed, you can travel through a year, but if you fail, you can travel through another world. It's definitely easy to use! 】

[Thank you for your hard work, brother. Don’t tire yourself. 】

Su Zhe looked at these comments with satisfaction:

"My fans are so considerate."

Jia Xin looked at it dumbfounded:

Writing a topic in one day is equivalent to creating a new folder for the project. Is this considered hard work?

Su Zhe chuckled and explained that this was called "accumulating inspiration", but was interrupted by a call from Yan Xiling. She told Su Zhe that the director of next year's Spring Festival Gala has been decided. His name is Zhu Jun, who is considered a young man. She immediately wanted to contact Su Zhe so that he, the "Spring Festival Gala's legacy", could appear on the Spring Festival Gala.

CCTV Spring Festival Gala has never asked for celebrities, but Su Zhe was too embarrassed in the past two years, so he performed a sketch on New Year's Eve and dominated the hot searches.

Now it's almost time to select programs for the Spring Festival Gala. Zhu Jun doesn't want to make such jokes again, so he wants to invite Su Zhe.

But Yan Xiling was worried that Su Zhe had resentment in his heart and did not dare to agree rashly, so she asked Su Zhe for his opinion.

Su Zhe couldn't help but laugh:

"I'm not at a disadvantage, so how can I complain? Besides, I was invited to the Spring Festival Gala, so it's not good to refuse. But I have a lot of things to do this year and don't have time to rehearse again and again. I'll rehearse once at most."

Yan Xiling understood and contacted Su Zhe after a while:

"Zhu Jun wants to visit you personally."

Su Zhe couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Compared with the arrogance of the previous Spring Festival Gala director, this new director had a bit of a "courteous corporal" demeanor.

——Of course he is not a "corporal", but in the eyes of directors within the system, that's probably what he means.

Su Zhe did not let Zhu Jun come to his home to "visit" him. Instead, he chose a private restaurant and invited Zhu Jun to have a party.

After Zhu Jun arrived, he was very enthusiastic towards Su Zhe and said directly:

"Teacher Su, I'm under a lot of pressure after taking on this responsibility! Last year's Spring Festival Gala had a bad reputation. If it doesn't work this year, we'll be sorry for D, the country, and the people!"

Su Zhe couldn't help but laugh:

"Director Zhu is exaggerating. Didn't his official Weibo say last year that 'the Spring Festival Gala was very successful'?"

Zhu Jun sighed:

"You are talking to yourself, how can you really hide it? The public's criticism is so loud, how can you cover other people's ears if you cover your ears?"

Seeing his honesty, Su Zhe became serious, thought for a moment, and answered cautiously:

"Director Zhu, I'm just a young artist, I don't have the ability, and I don't know how to do a good job in the Spring Festival Gala. But thanks to the love of my fans, the Chinese style songs I released should be very suitable for the Spring Festival Gala. If necessary, I can sing one at the Spring Festival Gala, You can also authorize it to be sung by other stars.”

"Thank you Teacher Su for your full support!" Zhu Jun praised excitedly, "You are too humble. If Chinese-style songs are not included in the Spring Festival Gala, it will be a pity for the Spring Festival Gala and a pity for the people of the whole country!"

Su Zhe didn't want to be held in high esteem all the time, so he also put forward his own requirements:

"Director Zhu, next I have to shoot five TV series and one movie, and the movie will be shot in Southeast Asia. My energy is limited, but as long as you choose the songs well, no matter how busy you are, I can come to the rehearsal."

Low emotional intelligence: I am too busy, I only need to rehearse once at most;

High emotional intelligence: No matter how busy you are, come to rehearsal.

Zhu Jun was very courageous and agreed with gritted teeth.

Su Zhe suddenly thought of something and made another request:

"By the way, I don't lip-sync or lip-sync. I have to open the mic all the way and sing for real."

Zhu Jun was frightened by this condition and couldn't help but persuade:

"No, you haven't been to the Spring Festival Gala. You don't know. The pressure on the scene is very high. Many celebrities can't stand it and it's easy to go off-key. If something goes wrong and you embarrass yourself in front of the whole country, it's a ZZ mistake!"

Su Zhe didn't like singers' lip-synching, but after hearing his words, he hesitated.

The live broadcast in front of the whole country, and maybe even the big leaders watching, is indeed very stressful.

His psychological quality is not bad, otherwise he would not be a star, but the pressure of the Spring Festival Gala is really different from other stages.

In his previous life, Uncle Benshan was the king of sketches, so he would feel nervous even on Spring Festival evenings, let alone a raw melon and egg guy like him?

"But isn't it embarrassing to lip-sync?" Su Zhe couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it the biggest shame to not even dare to sing?"

"The audience has long been used to it." Zhu Jun continued to persuade, "There is no need to take risks."

Su Zhe was silent:

Is it right to get used to it?

He did not ask this question, but answered firmly:

"Director Zhu, I am a singer, and not lip-syncing is my most basic professional ethics. If you don't believe me, I can license it to the Spring Festival Gala for free. You can lip-sync with whichever star you want."

Zhu Jun was speechless.

Yan Xiling quickly smoothed things over:

"Director Zhu, don't be angry. Artists are like this, they have their own persistence."

Zhu Jun was not angry, but showed a hint of shame. He hesitated for a long time, and did not mention the song again, but instead mentioned the skit:

"Teacher Su, can you provide a language program?"

Seeing that he refused her request not to lip-sync, Su Zhe felt a little disdainful and irritated, and blurted out:

"Sketch? Sorry, I can't write sketches that aren't funny."

Zhu Jun:......

Yan Xiling:......

Are you too slapped in the face?

Zhu Jun smiled bitterly and said:

"I also hope that the language programs of the Spring Festival Gala are funny."

When Su Zhe heard this, he couldn't help it and complained:

"This baggage is good, it's funnier than all the Spring Festival Gala skits put together."

Two people:…

You are too cruel to complain!

There was no way, Su Zhe really had deep grudges.

No matter in his past or present life, what disgusted Su Zhe most about the Spring Festival Gala was the language program!

It’s getting less and less funny, and it’s still trying to educate people across the country.

According to what Uncle Benshan said, the masses have worked hard for a year and received education 364 days a year. Just want to relax and smile on New Year's Eve, can't you?

Moreover, sketch actors are not educators, so why should they educate the people of the country!

Zhu Jun was helpless, but wanted to revive the Spring Festival Gala sketch, so he tried his best to persuade:

"Teacher Su, in fact, the Spring Festival Gala has never required that the sketches are not funny. I also hope that you can write a funny sketch to make the crowd laugh!"

Su Zhe didn't want to complain anymore and communicated with him honestly:

"Then can I satirize the ugliness of reality?"

"No." Zhu Jun shook his head with a very firm attitude, "We must give priority to praise."

Su Zhe curled his lips and continued to ask:

"Like "Idol Waiter", doesn't it even satirize the fandom?"

Zhu Jun reminds:

"You can be sarcastic at the beginning and it's still funny. But at the end, you must mention that after the Qing L operation, this phenomenon no longer exists. Thanks to..."

"Stop!" Su Zhe said helplessly, "The ending of the skit is very important. No matter how funny it is at the beginning, if the ending is bad, the last impression left on them will be embarrassment."

He finally understood:

"Of course the Spring Festival Gala does not stipulate that sketches must not be funny. But there are too many rules and regulations, how can it be funny?"

"Isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds? It's funny, it's educational, and it doesn't offend anyone."

Zhu Jun seemed to be making a wish, or praying.

Su Zhe sighed:

"Then let's make the skit not funny. It's disrespectful to laugh in class."

He mocked the Spring Festival Gala as a classroom, but Zhu Jun was completely unable to refute it.

Su Zhe stood up and said goodbye:

"Director Zhu, I understand your difficulty. It is indeed difficult to do this. You also understand me. I am not a sketch actor. Why bother to perform an unfunny sketch in the Spring Festival Gala and confuse the audience? Let's just talk about singing. You think about it? Here’s my suggestion.”
