Chapter 443: Professor Dou is a soldier to aid Korea?

Su Zhe almost never watched Korean dramas in his previous life, so naturally he cannot be called an expert in Korean dramas. He can only rely on his impressions to recall——

Bangzi's film and television dramas were once just little brothers.

When it was introduced into China in the 90s, there was almost no splash, but after the 21st century, it developed rapidly, forming a huge "Korean Wave" in China and even in Asia.

For example, Su Zhe has never watched tear-jerking Korean dramas such as "Blue Life and Death" and "Winter Sonata", but has heard the names.

Korean dramas such as "leukemia", "brothers and sisters" and "car accident" mostly come from these dramas.

"Can these tear-jerking Korean dramas be copied? In the past, Bangzi tricked us into crying, but now it's my turn to trick them?"

Su Zhe thought for a while and crossed out these names.

When these dramas were popular, Su Zhe was still young and had never watched them. Moreover, he felt that even if they were classics, such tear-jerking love dramas would be difficult to become popular now.

After these tear-jerking dramas, the Korean drama that Su Zhe has an impression of is "Dae Jang Geum".

This drama is even more powerful. Not only young female viewers like to watch it, but also many older male viewers are following the show.

Su Zhe still remembers that people around him were discussing the grand occasion of "Dae Jang Geum".

But it’s strange that he is from China and went to film Bangzi’s historical drama. Not only does Bangzi feel awkward, but the country also feels awkward.

"It's better not to scold me."

Su Zhe quickly crossed out the name "Dae Jang Geum".

Next, the third wave of hit dramas he knew was "My Love from the Star".

This drama was really popular back then. It wasn't just that some popular dramas were popular among the audience. This drama even made viewers who didn't usually follow dramas start discussing it. It was considered popular outside the circle.

Paying homage to classic segments in variety shows, the offline fried chicken + beer package is available.

——Anyone who had a girlfriend at that time should have gone to eat with him.

"'Star You'? I've never followed it!" Su Zhe thought thoughtfully, "Hey, I could have just watched it once! I could just copy it."

He thought about it and only remembered that he had been forced to watch some clips, had the content inexplicably been manipulated, and had also followed the short video to get the general plot.

These don't make for a complete screenplay.

But the popularity of "Star You" made it difficult for Su Zhe to give up.

He hesitated for a moment, then simply came to Long Aotian and found that several directors and celebrities who came to seek cooperation were also discussing cooperation with Zhongbang.

They envy the success of Korean dramas:
"The most important thing is to liberalize censorship. Bangzi used to be a dumping ground for Hong Kong films, and it took off only after censorship was liberalized. How can we produce excellent works if we have such strict censorship and are dancing in shackles?"

"They have the support of the state and regard entertainment as a national strategy. What about us? It's too harsh to block them if they make even a small mistake."

This group of insiders only talk about deregulation, state support, etc., which are all clichés, and they just want to expand their power.

When Su Zhe heard what they said, he asked Zhang Hongwei with a dark look on his face:

"Who are these?"

Zhang Hongwei quietly introduced to him that they were all directors in the industry. When they heard about this cooperation, they came over to work together quickly.

Not only does Su Zhe want to take this opportunity to enter the Korean market, he even takes the opportunity to enter the market influenced by Korean dramas.

Bangzi also covets the huge domestic film and television drama market, and plans to shoot films and television dramas focusing on them to enter the country.

Only when everyone gets what they need will they cooperate.

Compared to someone as ambitious as Su Zhe, who wants to rely on the Korean drama market to counterattack Bangzi.

More people in the domestic industry want to cooperate with Bangzi to remake each other's classic film and television dramas and make money in the domestic market where "people are stupid and money is abundant".

Isn't it easier to make money while lying down than to go to a "bitter and cold place" to conquer the market?
That's why they came to Long Aotian, holding some scripts adapted from classic Korean dramas and movies, and wanted to cooperate with Long Aotian.

Su Zhe was quite disdainful of them. Especially when he saw a certain bald director, he felt it was particularly abominable. He said in a nonchalant manner:

"In my opinion, the key to the success of Korean dramas is the writer-centered system, or creator-centered system."

Regardless of whether the creator is a screenwriter, director, or actor, whoever can create has the final say.

(The creator is not necessarily the screenwriter. For example, Uncle Long and Master Xing, no matter who the director or screenwriter is, their movies are full of personal colors, and they are the main creators. And Fa Ge, who was also known as Fa Ge at that time, Not the creator, but the director’s favorite executor.)
In the field of TV dramas, the creator is usually the screenwriter, which has become a "writer-centered system".

——In fact, most TV dramas from the United States, Japan and other places are like this.

Under this system, the screenwriter has the most authoritative position. Unless they meet a top big name, the director and actors cannot modify the script without authorization, and have a say in every aspect of selecting actors, determining the title of the play, and marketing and promotion.

Even variety shows have a huge team of writers who are responsible for designing game segments and even helping stars design scripts that fit their personalities.

——After watching the behind-the-scenes of Korean variety shows a few times, you will know that celebrities bow to the variety show writers and call them teachers.

At the same time, the screenwriter is also the person most responsible for the performance of the TV series. Once the reputation and performance are not good, it will naturally be affected.

This is also the original requirement of the central system - the matching of powers and responsibilities.

After hearing his words, the bald director who came to seek cooperation looked a little unhappy.

There is someone behind him, who has a very bad reputation and is still able to thrive in the industry. He has some confidence and does not need to beg Su Zhe, so he simply said:

"What Mr. Su means is that our country has a star-centered system, isn't it normal?"

He was setting a trap for Su Zhe. If Su Zhe admitted it, it would be tantamount to accusing stars that they should not have the privileges of the crew, but should instead be given to the screenwriter, which would definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the stars in the industry.

As for the screenwriter’s approval? With such a low status, speaking is useless.

Su Zhe smiled. In fact, in his opinion, China is not even a star-centered system.

The crew has the final say with the star, who can modify the script at will and get the most pay - this seems to be a star-centered system.

But once a TV series fails, the star will walk away, leaving the director and screenwriter to take the blame.

This can only be said that the domestic film and television industry does not have any central system and is just a grassroots team.

Only some creators who have become famous through their works can enjoy similar rights.

The most typical representative is Su Zhe himself. As a screenwriter, he is the most famous screenwriter in the country. No star dares to change his script, and the director is just his executor.

But this obviously cannot be the norm, and every creator cannot be required to be like Su Zhe, with huge fans, his own company, and sufficient funds.

That's why Su Zhe established a screenwriter center in Long Aotian, slowly improving their status, giving them some power, and constantly eliminating and updating them.

Only when all rights and responsibilities are given, it is called a centralized system.

But there is no need to say these words to these people, and there is no need to make them public in the circle.

Although he is not worried about offending anyone, why bother?

If other entertainment companies in the industry do not realize the importance of creators, they will die sooner or later;

If you realize it and follow his footsteps, then Hua Xia's works will get better and better.

No matter what, Su Zhe is not at a loss.

This is the key to the "theory of evolution" - not to let those who are left behind evolve, but to let them "die". So Su Zhe directly drove away these "famous adaptation directors" who were like carrion crows and came to Long Aotian's screenwriting center.

The screenwriters also heard part of Su Zhe's remarks and were very excited to know that he intended to improve his status as a screenwriter.

Su Zhe didn't say much, and directly handed them the script outline of "Star You" and assigned them a task——

"The protagonist of this drama, Do Minjun, has lived from ancient times to modern times. It requires a lot of details, especially the research of ancient details."

"By the way, find a screenwriter from a great country to write it together. Don't make the mistake of making the locals laugh."

Su Zhe could only provide a plot outline based on his previous life knowledge, but the details of the TV series were very important and related to the final success or failure.

All of this requires the writers to work together.

The screenwriters were also very excited. Su Zhe not only paid a high fee, but also gave him a signature and power. If he performed well, he could even participate in the casting.

Moreover, the "screenwriter-centered" pie painted by Su Zhe is so delicious.

Next, someone gave Su Zhe a suggestion:
"Mr. Su, since it's a joint production with Zhongbang and Do Minjun is an alien, why let him land in Bang Country?"

In the script outline (original film) given by Su Zhe, the male protagonist, the alien Do Minjun, came to North Korea in 1609 and lived for more than 400 years until modern times.

The screenwriter suggested:

"We might as well let Du Minjun arrive 17 years earlier and change it to 1592 to arrive in China."

"But this is a co-production of Zhongbang. Do Minjun has arrived in China. What's the matter with Bangzi?"

Su Zhezheng was explaining that it was not that he had to let aliens come to Bang Country, but that he wanted to enter the Bang Country market.

But his mind changed and he thought about the time "1592". He suddenly realized it and laughed loudly:

"Wanli aids the dynasty? I really have you!"

Our most profound impression of the war to aid Korea is probably the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

This time to aid Korea, Bangzi belonged to the side that was beaten, and he was beaten badly.

But before that, Huaxia's father had always been the protector of Bangzi, helping them maintain peace.

For example, in 1592, Toyotomi Hideyoshi led the Japanese invasion of Bangzi, which Bangzi called the "Imjin Japanese Rebellion".

At this time, it was during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty that the famous general Li Rusong led troops to aid the DPRK, achieved a great victory, and drove away the Japanese invaders, which indirectly led to the replacement of Toyotomi Hideyoshi by Tokugawa Ieyasu.

In this way, Do Minjun, who landed in China, can enter North Korea with the aid force, and the story is logical.

For domestic audiences, although Do Minjun is an alien, he is half Chinese when he comes to China, so Su Zhe's role is more acceptable.

As for Bangguo, Do Minjun is an alien anyway, so he can accept it.

What's even better is that Wanli's aid to Korea can be regarded as a moment of friendship recognized by both China and the United States.

As the saying goes, the friendship between the two countries depends on the Japanese. If we talk about the friendship between our ancestors and scold the Japanese pirates for their ambition, it will be easier to promote this co-production drama.

After Su Zhe figured it out, he laughed loudly and patted the screenwriter on the shoulder:

"Okay, you have a very open mind, just stick to this!"

The other party chuckled and said:

"Boss Su is so perceptive. I only told you the time, but you understood everything. To be honest, I have written scripts for other stars before, but they pretended to know everything and were stubborn and self-willed."

Compared with those people, a boss like Su Zhe who knows screenwriting and creation is easy and pleasant to get along with!
Su Zhe smiled and said:

"Keep up the hard work! Let's work together and use the routines of Korean dramas to reach the hometown of Korean dramas and let them have a taste of 'Hwaliu'!"

After this discussion, Su Zhe has greater confidence in the Screenwriter Center version of "Star You".

He simply didn't wait for the script to come out and contacted Lin Shan'er and asked her if she wanted to play the heroine Qian Songyi.

Cheon Song Yi is a big star in the drama, and Lim Sun Ah can play her true self.

Of course, there are many actors in Korea who can play Cheon Song Yi. Which female star can't play her true self?

But such a good role made Jun Ji-hyun famous again after being dormant in China for many years in her previous life. Of course Su Zhe has to take care of his old friend.

But Lin Shaner didn't answer the phone. After receiving the message, she only replied a few words:
"My brother is so indifferent. It took more than a year to think about my sister?"

Su Zhe looked sweaty when he saw the reply.

Back then, after confirming his relationship with You Mengli, he gradually stopped contacting Lin Shan'er.

Later, Su Zhe "had a clear idea" (breaking the jar and breaking the jar), but he didn't know what to say to Lin Shan'er.

It's been embarrassing till now.

Lin Shan'er did not continue to make things difficult for him, but asked:

"Do you want to participate in "National Glory"?"

"'National Glory'?" Su Zhe asked curiously, "Is it that variety show that pits China against Southeast Asia?"

Lin Shan'er confirmed his guess, but she didn't expect that the name had already been decided.

Su Zhe immediately replied:

"Of course, I'm still the main C."

"That's called captain, that's right. Now that Mr. Su is so powerful, he must be the captain of Huaxia." Lin Shan'er said something sinister and then continued, "Huaxia and Japan were the first to confront each other. If you lead the team to a victory, I will forgive you. ”

Of course, it goes without saying that Lin Shan'er said that Su Zhe couldn't lose to the Japanese, otherwise he would be sprayed to death by domestic passers-by.

Wait, if you lose to Bangzi, you will also be scolded?

If he loses to Ah San... he won't necessarily be scolded, but he himself can't afford to lose that person.

Su Zhe did the math. It seemed that if he lost to any country, he would be sprayed with blood.

After all, the name is "National Glory". Playing on behalf of the country does not only represent oneself.

"This show is really exciting."

Su Zhe couldn't help but sigh, and took the opportunity to ask Lin Shan'er for information.

As far as Lin Shaner knows, each country can set up its own confrontation projects, ensuring that everyone has advantageous projects.

Lin Shan'er said she was complaining, but she couldn't help but suggest to him:

"You must choose the advantageous projects that you are good at, and don't compete on the devil's projects."

Su Zhe thought thoughtfully. As a participating guest, it is best to participate in advantageous events. It is easier to win, not to be criticized, and to become a "national hero."

But if you participate in the other party’s advantageous projects...

Su Zhe suddenly realized:
"So choosing a project is the key to the competition among the guests... But now that Lin Shan'er knows the inside story of "National Glory", why didn't anyone inform me?"
