The program team lost contact, and the desert island live broadcast reversed the character design

Chapter 450: Unnatural Death Wrapped Up

When Su Zhe was filming "The Garland under the Mountain", "Unnatural Death" was nearing completion.

This Japanese drama only has 10 episodes, and there is no watered-down or slapdash plot at all. It is so compact that it can be watched like a feature-length movie.

This is also the idea behind many quality dramas, which are to produce short TV series with the mentality of making movies to ensure that there are no boring moments in the whole series.

Unlike some long idol dramas, even watching them at 2x speed will make you distracted.

Even the domestic web drama "Detective Chinatown" follows this production idea, and the original film only has 12 episodes.

It’s just that after Su Zhe changed the name to "Detective Lin Mo", he deleted the last ridiculous case, resulting in only 8 episodes left, making it even shorter and more concise.

The opposite is "Unnatural Death". The original film had 10 episodes, but Su Zhe deliberately added 1 episode and put it after the ending.

This extra episode 11 is like an easter egg, telling the story of the encounter between female forensic doctor Misami Mikoto, Conan and Qin Feng, and vaguely reveals the purpose of Qin Feng's coming to Japan.

In "Detective Conan", this story is also told from Conan's perspective and will be released before "Unnatural Death" is broadcast.

In other words, Su Zhe used the already popular "Detective Conan" to advertise "Unnatural", and then used these two TV series to attract traffic for "Detective Chinatown 3" which was still in the writing stage.

This is how big IP plays——

Mutual linkage, mutual drainage! What does "the rich first drive the poor later" mean? !
Therefore, Su Zhe had to go to the crew of "Unnatural" and play the role of Qin Feng.

Qin Feng’s current position in the Tang Detective universe is like that of Iron Man in the movie Avengers. He is undoubtedly the core figure, and the fun simply cannot go on without him.

——Shinichi is his hacker friend, Mikoto is his forensic friend, and Sherlock Holmes, who has not appeared yet, is his mentor and helpful friend (they both have the same memory palace skills).

Fortunately, he played the role of Qin Feng himself, so he could avoid being manipulated by others and did not have to make sacrifices like Iron Man due to high pay.

But because of this, he had to overlap with other projects. It happened that the most important war scenes of "The Garland" had already been filmed, and the remaining literary scenes could be filmed slowly. The task was not heavy, so he could take a leave.

So, Su Zhe flew to Japan overnight, arrived at the "Unnatural" crew, and started filming.

In addition to him, there are also child actors who play Conan and the actor who plays Kogoro Mori.

In "Detective Chinatown 2", Conan and Kogoro have already appeared as members of the detective team and have quite a few roles.

The audience didn't understand their strange lines and plots at first, until "Detective Conan" was launched, then they suddenly realized and exclaimed that Su Zhe was hiding something deep inside.

But when filming, Su Zhe certainly knew the importance of Conan, Maori Kogoro, Holmes, Watson and others. If possible, he did not want to replace them and wanted to maintain the consistency of the actors.

So he spent a lot of time on auditions, and went to Japan and the UK specifically to cast, instead of simply using foreign actors from the country to make up the numbers.

Zhang Hongwei even said that Su Zhe spent more time on these characters than on the important character, James, the murderer in the original film and the scapegoat in Su Zhe's version.

Therefore, Su Zhe was very proud and thought that there was no need to re-cast the actors and he could directly use the actors of Conan and Kogoro.

But he soon discovered that there was nothing wrong with the actor who played Kogoro, but there was a big problem with the child star who played Conan.

The little actor grew six or seven centimeters in one year and quickly grew from a child to a young teenager.

This is the awkward part about child actors, they change every day and have to be recast.

Some dramas starring child actors were even aborted because the actors grew up.

So when the child star put on Conan's costume, Su Zhe was dumbfounded and said helplessly:
"Change the role and recast it."

Gong Man smiled and said:

"In fact, growing taller is very realistic. Conan will grow up, right? According to the time node, he should be older now than in Detective Chinatown 2."

Su Zhe spread his hands:
"Don't talk to Conan about time and growing up."

"Huh?" Gong Man looked at him curiously, not understanding.

Su Zhe explained casually:

"How many anime have you seen where the children grow up before the ending?"

Conan has always been ridiculed as the "eight-year-repeater elementary school student". In fact, he is not the only one like this. All unit drama comics that do not focus on the growth of the protagonist are like this.

For example, Zhiye is a veteran who has been playing in the major leagues for 25 years. Not only does his age remain unchanged, but he is even reset every new season and competes as a rookie.

There are also Crayon Shin-chan, Nobita Nobi, Chibi Maruko-chan, Pleasant Goat and Beautiful Goat, etc., who will always maintain the same appearance as when we first met them.

From when we were carefree children to when we entered society and became tired and greasy middle-aged people, they still stayed where they were in their childhood, always shouting with full energy:

"There is only one truth!"

"That's you, Pikachu!"

"Look at the elephant~"

"Doraemon!"

"Feiyangyang, push it quickly..." (crossed out)

After hearing Su Zhe's explanation, Gong Man teased:
"So if you serialize it long enough, the kid who plays Conan can play Shinichi?"

Su Zhe shrugged:

"If he works hard enough, his son can play the new Conan."

Gong Man:......

"So long? Do you have so many murders in your mind?"

Su Zhe shrugged and said calmly:

"Don't worry, my mind is full of them. I can write at least more than a thousand episodes."

Gong Man couldn't help but move two steps forward when she heard his words.

This guy is capable of writing a thousand episodes of murder cases! Who dares to mess with him?

"If Conan is always an elementary school student, what will happen to Mikoto and Qin Feng whom he knows?"

Gong Man asked curiously, this is the contradiction when animation meets live-action drama.

Su Zhe said:

"Then let's not get old, let's just keep filming."

Gong Man was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled:

"Well, keep shooting."

After chatting for a long time, Su Zhe suddenly asked:
"I heard someone was harassing you?"

Gong Man's assistant reported to Mary Sue that a big Japanese star named Kenji Sagara has been harassing Gong Man recently.

Su Zhe came to the crew to support Gong Man:
"Don't worry, I'm here, don't be afraid. No one in China dares to seduce my artists, so how can they be ruined by the Japanese?"

Gong Man heard Su Zhe's words and said lightly:

"It's okay, I've solved it."

Su Zhe looked at her in surprise:
"How to solve it?"

Gong Man spoke very calmly and slowly:
"He came to give me flowers and insisted on inviting me to dinner and singing. I slapped him in public."

Su Zhe was shocked:
"Give him a slap?"

"Yes." Gong Man said calmly, "When I was a kid, I climbed trees all day long. I also practiced martial arts to play Zhou Zhiruo. My hands are very strong. That kid is only 1.6 meters tall and is not as tall as me. He is as thin as a stick. I knocked him out with one slap."

Su Zhe was convinced:

"So you rely on force?" "You also have financial resources, right?" Gong Man tilted her head and recalled, "After the fight, some people even made me apologize, otherwise it would affect the filming."

"I told them that if they didn't want to shoot, I would use my salary to replace the crew to reshoot. Hey, the combined salary of a bunch of people is not as high as my salary, so why should I accommodate them?"

Gong Man spoke calmly, but with full of dominance.

Su Zhe couldn't help but give a thumbs up:

“And they gave in?”

"Why should we not accept it? We have the leading actors, screenwriters, and funding, so why should we be so carefree?"

Hearing Gong Man's words, Su Zhe laughed:
"Yes, let's do it! We are here to expand the market, not to beg for money. Why should we be controlled by them? Change to another TV station, Unnatural will still be popular! If there is no TV station, then switch to Netflix!"

Gong Man was not at all surprised by Su Zhe's attitude.

She had known for a long time that Su Zhe would not bow his head, nor would he let her suffer any loss.

She couldn't help but say:

"Although you have praised it, Japan and South Korea respect creators, actors have a low status, and they call screenwriters and directors teachers when they meet them. This is the atmosphere that gives birth to good works."

"But the status of actors is too low, anyone can bully them, and it's too extreme. A bunch of young girls are taken advantage of by those bald middle-aged men who control the power of the TV station and the crew all day long."

As an actor, Gong Man naturally has her own ideas, which are not exactly the same as Su Zhe, the main screenwriter:
"The performance of the actors is also very important. Films and TV series are not novels. We cannot just look at the scriptwriters, we must also respect the actors."

Su Zhe did not debate with her. The Chinese entertainment industry did not disrespect actors. On the contrary, it respected actors too much.

However, Su Zhe could not stand the overly strict hierarchy in Japan and South Korea, and he resonated with Gong Man:
"It's normal that the four olds have not been destroyed and there are still feudal remnants. Now, have they seen the style of the Chinese star?"

Gong Man laughed:

"Style? I can't compare with my peers."

She is indeed more low-key than her peers in China;
But if those people came to Japan, they would not dare to do the same thing as her.

Some people are used to bullying their own people and fawning on foreigners. They look very different when facing Chinese people. If they were Japanese, how could they dare to be like Gong Man?
Su Zhe laughed loudly:

"Okay, our Mary Sue's number one sister must have this kind of style!"

Gong Man replied in a somewhat gloomy tone:

"Sister Pei Pei is the number one sister... No, she is the boss lady."

Su Zhe:......

"Don't use style on your boss."

When Su Zhe returned to the crew and observed carefully, he found that the Japanese crew members were indeed keeping their distance from Gong Man.

When faced with such troublemakers, if they cannot be dealt with, the usual practice of Japanese society is social isolation, commonly known as "isolation."

If you are a Japanese, facing isolation from the whole society would be very painful, and may even drive you crazy.

But Gong Man and Su Zhe are both Chinese, they just chatted and laughed and didn't care at all.

The producer came to him and suggested that Gong Man was too rude, and Su Zhe said directly:
"Her opinion is my opinion. At worst, the show can be re-filmed on another TV station. It's less than 10 million yuan anyway (not counting Gong Man's salary). I can afford it."

Gong Man was blowing bubble gum and looking at Su Zhe with a smile.

The producer also hinted that Su Zhe's actions would arouse the disgust of the Japanese entertainment industry, which might lead to a ban on Su Zhe and his Tang Detective universe.

Su Zhe smiled and said:
"Okay, then Japanese celebrities should not come to China anymore."

In fact, he was just bluffing.

Apart from the national will, who has the ability to ban a country?
If Japanese artists are collectively banned, it is definitely not because of the promotion of Su Zhe or any company, but because of things like the shrine.

But the other party was also unable to block Su Zhe, and they were actually just trying to scare each other.

Moreover, Su Zhe's threats were more believable. After all, his reputation as the "Godfather of China's Entertainment Industry" had also spread to neighboring countries, and it sounded very intimidating.

Su Zhe's fearlessness made the producer completely lose his confidence and he dared not say anything.

Even Kenji Sagara was frightened. Under the company's arrangement, he was taking advantage of the opportunity of cooperation in East Asia to enter the Chinese market, but he didn't want to lose the big picture for the small.

So, he came to the crew and bowed to Su Zhe to apologize:

"Susan, I just wanted to be a good host and entertain Miss Gong Man. I also wanted to ask her about the hobbies of Chinese fans. I didn't expect Miss Gong Man to misunderstand me."

Su Zhe smiled:

"It's just a misunderstanding. By the way, I saw your name among the Japanese stars in "National Glory". Do your best."

"Hi!"

The "misunderstanding" was resolved and the second Conan was selected.

"Unnatural Death", the extra 11th episode, has started filming!
A week later, the filming was completed and "Unnatural" officially wrapped up!
The drama was filmed and done in post-production at the same time, and it was halfway completed after the shooting was wrapped up, including the theme song, which had already been selected.

But Su Zhe took a quick look and found that the crew members were all elite and there was no problem with the TV series itself.

But the theme song is terrible. After all, this is a TV series invested by foreigners, and they didn’t put any effort into inviting singers.

In fact, for a TV series, the quality of the theme song is not that important.

Unless it's a top-notch theme song, like "Hero Song".

Otherwise there would be no need for Su Zhe to change.

But the original theme song of "Unnatural Death", "Lemon", is of good quality and widely sung, leaving a deep impression on Su Zhe.

Compared with the current theme song, the difference is so obvious that Su Zhe couldn't bear it:

"Forget it, I'll write the theme song."

The Japanese felt very strange and their tone was full of disbelief:
"President Su wrote it personally?"

The Chinese side just laughed:

“Haha, these little guys don’t know that Mr. Su is one of the top musicians in the country!”

The Japanese actually know, after all, this is all information on the Internet, they just don’t believe it:
Are there still musicians in China? Aren’t they just copying our melodies and writing lyrics?
Therefore, someone from Japan reminded Su Zhe:

"Boss Su, if you want to rewrite the lyrics, you must purchase the copyright."

This sentence made all the Chinese personnel extremely angry and they looked at Su Zhe.

Su Zhe scratched his head. He was not angry. After all, it was the real situation...

Of course, since it’s across dimensions, the copyright fees cannot be paid.

The Japanese side continued to persuade Su Zhe to retreat:

"And Mr. Su, we're going to air Unnatural next week. When will you be able to finish writing the theme song?"

Su Zhe stretched out his fist:

"10..."

"Ten days? That won't work. It will take at most three days for the show to be aired normally."

"9, 8, 7..."

Japanese side:? ? ?
The eyes of the Chinese people all lit up:
I never realized before that Mr. Su is so handsome when he pretends to be cool!
