Chapter 454 Friendly Chinese Home

Why does Su Zhe have time to write scripts for "Detective Conan", "Darker" and "Signal" (Korean dramas) at night?
Because all the main characters of "The Garland" are male, the crew can be called a monk's temple.

The rare young female characters are Liang Sanxi and Jin Kailai's wife, who have relatively simple requirements and are not suitable to be played by beautiful female stars.

This forced the "ordinary man" Su Zhe to be free from all desires and focus on acting, apart from copying scripts.

The character of Zhao Mengsheng is the most complicated in "The Garland". His performance in the early stage was really dandy, especially when compared with the cannon-fighter Jin Kailai, his quality seemed even lower.

It is not an easy task to act in a way that is not annoying, or even to make the audience forgive him and like him after his transformation in the later period.

This is a great test of acting skills and the actor's own charm.

For example, it is normal for Chen Baoguo to impress people when he plays Emperor Wu of Han, as characters like the Emperor Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han have their own top-notch charm; but it is extraordinary that he is also loved when he plays Emperor Jiajing.

Su Zhe studied for a long time and gradually grasped the essence——

nature.

Zhao Mengsheng is not a born bad person. His dandyism comes from the protection of his family, and his act of sharing chocolate also reflects the kindness in his nature.

After entering the 9th Company, he received military education and grew up quickly. When he was criticized by the army commander, he learned from his mistakes and became a combat hero.

He found the trick, and the other roles were relatively simple, all of them were determined warriors and fighting heroes. The actors were all veteran actors, so they could play them easily and there was no difficulty at all.

This makes the progress of the literary drama advance by leaps and bounds, and it can almost be completed in one go.

Soon, "The Garland" was completed and entered post-production, and it was time to set a release date.

Su Zhe came to Long Aotian and decided the schedule and publicity period with Zhang Hongwei.

Long Aotian is now known as the number one film and television company in China. It is no longer a small workshop. It cannot be like Su Zhe did at the beginning, rushing to find a schedule after finishing filming a movie.

As a commercial blockbuster and war epic, "The Garland" requires a lot of special effects in post-production and will definitely not be released in time for the summer season.

It's very appropriate that it can be released during the National Day holiday, but for a commercial blockbuster, it cannot fully realize its box office potential.

Su Zhe still decided:
"The Spring Festival."

Zhang Hongwei reminded him:

"Zhai Xiaowen's "Battle of the Golden River" is also on the Spring Festival schedule. Is it a conflict of schedule?"

Su Zhe rolled his eyes:
"Who cares? If the schedules clash, then we'll just have to rely on our own abilities!"

Zhang Hongwei smiled bitterly:

"If we change to other schedules, we can also get the company to book the theater, but if we have the same schedule as Zhai Xiaowen, there will definitely be no theater for us to book."

Su Zhe didn't care:

"Do I need to rely on a private room?"

Zhang Hongwei was stunned for a moment and nodded:
"That's right. You were so used to doing the main theme that you forgot that this is a big production. You can't make a profit by booking the whole theater. By the way, what about Detective Chinatown 3?"

Su Zhe said helplessly:
"Let's finish the script first. I've already written the outline and the plot, but look what the screenwriter center wrote? It's a bunch of shit! Will it ruin the Tang Detective universe if it's filmed?"

Zhang Hongwei smiled bitterly:

"Boss Su, the feature film of Tang Detective is so important, you should write it yourself, and let the screenwriters write scripts for Conan and the like to practice."

Su Zhe was helpless. If he had a complete script to copy, did he still need someone else to write it?

He did not explain, but said:
"Let them keep writing! I won't keep working on the Tang Detective universe. I won't even provide tricks for the fourth installment. But this IP is very important, and Long Aotian must be able to maintain it."

Zhang Hongwei thought that Su Zhe, like other artists, had lost interest in detective dramas.

Just like after his interest in martial arts dramas waned, he was too lazy to adapt his own novels such as "The Flying Dagger of Xiao Li" and "The Twins of Red Lotus" into scripts and sold them directly to Penguin.

"Okay, I'll invite a well-known domestic mystery novelist to write a good script!"

Zhang Hongwei lost the sense of security given by Su Zhe and had to find other ways.

After Su Zhe reminded him to sign the confidentiality agreement and not to disclose the most important "dismemberment" trick in "Detective Chinatown 3", he left Long Aotian.

He returned home, rested for two days, and then rushed to SuZ City, Jiangsu Province.

"National Glory", which is highly anticipated in the three East Asian countries, is finally about to start recording.

After arriving at the recording location, Su Zhe first met with the Chinese guests, that is, his team members——

Gong Man, An Ling'er, Li Daoqiang, Yu Haohua and Lu Jian, as well as some newcomers.

Except for the newcomers, they were all acquaintances. Su Zhe couldn't help but complain:

"Except for old friends, no one else dares to come?"

Chinese producer Gong Huaichang smiled bitterly:

"We invited many celebrities, but they all said they had schedules and were unwilling to come."

Su Zhe knew very well that it was normal for celebrities to be unwilling to come.

Before China's economy took off, Japan was the most important entertainment market in Asia, and Chinese celebrities all wanted to enter and make more money.

For example, older generation stars such as Deng, Long, Huang, and Rong have all been to Japan to develop the market, and even Ka Kui died in Japan due to a stage accident.

But now, China is the largest entertainment market in Asia. Domestic celebrities have already made a lot of money and have no interest in breaking out of their comfort zone and entering Japan.

They were even more afraid that a direct confrontation with Japan would bring shame to China, arouse anti-Japanese sentiment at home, and affect their ability to make money at home.

There isn't much benefit in winning, and you'll be in big trouble if you lose, so who would want to come?

So apart from the newcomers, only old friends came to support the event. Some friends who wanted to come were stopped by the agency.

An Ling'er, Li Daoqiang and Yu Haohua all work independently, without any agency, and they come here on their own accord.

Gong Man and Lu Jian are Mary Sue artists, so of course they have to support the boss's strategy to conquer Japan.

So Su Zhe looked at the guests gratefully and promised:

"Don't worry, I'm here to lead you to victory! I won't let you embarrass yourself in front of the Chinese people."

A group of people, especially the newcomers, were so excited by him that they shouted:
"Fuck Xiaozhi!"

Gong Huaichang wiped his sweat and reminded:

"China and Japan are friendly. We are here to make friends, not to fight."

He tried hard to calm Su Zhe and others, and when the Japanese stars arrived, they bowed as soon as they entered the door, making everyone feel embarrassed to target them.

They even communicated with each other and quickly became familiar with each other.

After all, we believe in "don't hit someone who smiles at you".

But Su Zhe and Gong Man remained indifferent, because the captain and star leader of the Japanese team was Kenji Sagara.

They could not forget how rampant this man was in Japan.

But his public image is good.

Because he was a top idol when he was young, and after transforming into an actor he played in a large number of highly rated and comic-adapted Japanese dramas, he was called "the handsome guy who broke the dimensional wall."

After receiving the award, he began to star in Taiga dramas, which are Japanese historical dramas, usually performed by recognized acting talents.

In terms of appearance, figure, fans, acting skills, awards, ratings, and national popularity, there is no shortcoming at all. Therefore, he is not only very popular in Japan, but also has many fans around the world, including in China.

However, he also has some negative information - he is a playboy and changes his female companions all the time, which is known in Japan. But the negative information is usually only circulated in China, while foreign fans rarely know about it or don't care much.

Therefore, he has quite a lot of fans in China, and unlike other male stars, he has quite a few male fans because he has starred in a lot of comic-adapted dramas.

Even in the eyes of passers-by, his image is very good and is used as a benchmark for domestic idols:
[Look at Kenji, who started out as an idol and transformed himself into an actor, how hard he works! Then look at the domestic traffic stars, who don’t think about making progress and only know how to take advantage of their fans, which is really infuriating! ]

【Learn from Kenci! When can you perform a serious drama? 】

This situation continued until Su Zhe became popular again and passers-by found a better role model and rarely mentioned his name.

But as a "benchmark of the previous generation", Kenji Sagara has a good reputation in China, and fans constantly ask him for autographs.

Even some new guests excitedly took photos with him and posted them on Weibo.

Under their Weibo, fans happily said:

[My son has made it big, and is now working with Kenji Sagara! ]

Gong Man felt a little dissatisfied and couldn't help but look at Su Zhe:

“Are the newcomers too enthusiastic?”

Su Zhe shrugged:

"It's good that you didn't get so excited that you fell to your knees."

"Is there anyone kneeling?" Gong Man felt incredible.

"If so."

Su Zhe shrugged and didn't say much.

……

The next day, the show started recording.

The content designed by Gong Huaichang mainly promotes good-neighborliness and friendship, and specifically introduces the history of Jianzhen's voyage to the East.

But there are also competitive events, such as wrestling, a common training method in the military.

After the staff introduced the rules of the wrestling match, Kenji Sagara immediately said with a smile:

“Isn’t this sumo?”

"Yes, it's similar to our national sport, sumo."

Japanese celebrities all agreed.

Su Zhe was rewarded with Japanese by the system. After hearing their discussion, he couldn't help but look at them and said:
"Jiaodi originated in the Yanhuang period 5000 years ago. It was the fighting method of Chiyou's army. Later, it evolved into the performance and competition of Chiyou drama, also known as Jiaodi."

"During the Jin Dynasty, Jiaodi was also called sumo, and it was introduced to Japan during the Tang Dynasty, becoming the ancestor of sumo in Japan. In China, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was also called wrestling. In fact, they are both sports, and they are of the same origin."

The Japanese stars were a little surprised and couldn't help shouting:
"really?"

"is that a lie!"

"Is there any historical evidence for 5000 years ago? Is this fake history?"

Su Zhe was speechless:
"Sumo, medicine, kimono, tea ceremony, go, polo, writing, coins, samurai swords (Tangdao)... these were all introduced to Japan during the Tang Dynasty, and there is no dispute in the historiography of both countries."

In terms of cultural traditions, Japan is more respectable than Korea and admits that these traditional cultures were learned from China and there is no "controversy".

There is nothing shameful about it. Cultural exchange is normal. Didn’t the traditional Chinese musical instrument Erhu also come from the Western Regions? Otherwise, why is it called Erhu?
It’s just that Japan was too backward at that time, so it learned everything from the Tang Dynasty, which directly became the cultural foundation of Japan.

The Tang Dynasty was too generous and did not understand what technological blockade meant. It did not follow the example of the United States in making an embargo list, allowing neighboring countries to learn too many advanced technologies.

Therefore, Su Zhe only felt sad and did not show off, and his tone was very calm.

But the Japanese stars, like the domestic stars, have relatively poor cultural literacy, and their expressions were full of disbelief as they looked at him with suspicion.

Su Zhe couldn't help but ask: "Don't you study history?"

They couldn't refute it, so they simply urged:
"Hurry up and start sumo wrestling!"

"We must win, this is our national sport!"

"No matter where we come from, we are stronger. That proves that we are more capable of inheriting the Ju Tang culture!"

Is this really the Tang Dynasty version of “Green Luo is also Luo”?

Jing Tang was furious!
This time, Su Zhe didn't dare to lose.

Otherwise, you lose right after you finish explaining “I am a young dad”, and you become a clown, right?

With his physical fitness and fighting ability (all top-notch), he had no rivals, at least in the entertainment industry, and could have won easily.

But the problem is that the game designed by Gong Huaichang is too uncompetitive. When two people are wrestling, they have to wear fat inflatable costumes and have soft inflatable cushions under their feet.

This made their movements extremely clumsy.

In addition, the two teams will also answer questions outside the venue, and the winner can draw the following props:

The soapy water, when sprayed onto the mat, becomes extremely slippery and will cause both of them to fall;
Carousel, the opponent must rotate 720 degrees on the spot;
Blindfold, cover your eyes for 1 minute;

……

With the help of these props, the so-called "wrestling" has changed from a serious fighting event to a variety show with great entertainment effects.

Although Su Zhe managed to win despite all these distractions, the Japanese stars were not convinced:
"If it weren't for the interference of these props, we would have won!"

"I'll have to bow and apologize when I get back."

"This is a variety show effect, the public shouldn't be angry, right?"

But when watching the replay together, we no longer cared about winning or losing. Instead, we found that everyone was in a mess, including the "flower of Gaoling" Su Zhe, who made people laugh when he slipped.

The following games were all of the same design, full of jokes but not very competitive. Winning or losing would not make people excited, but instead everyone would laugh at the unlucky person.

As all the guests played, their original tension and anger disappeared, and they gradually became friendly as they got along with each other.

As people, playing games and laughing together, friendships will naturally develop over time.

Su Zhe couldn't help but sigh:
"Producer Gong, this is your idea for designing games, right?"

Gong Huaichang smiled and said:
"In the face of white people in Europe and America, East Asia must unite. Of course, China must be the center, so the higher-ups have been pushing for this. We must put the overall situation first."

From a practical point of view, this seems to be the case.

But the historical burden is too heavy, and it is difficult to talk entirely about interests.

Moreover, the sovereignty of the other two countries is not complete. If their leaders dare to be pro-China, they will be killed. Can they have the final say?

But Su Zhe said nothing and shrugged:

"Okay, let's just record it as a comedy variety show."

After more than ten days of recording, everyone completed the first five episodes and also completed the recording at China's home venue.

They are about to fly to Japan to record 5 episodes of the show in Japan.

During this period, "National Glory" was also launched in both countries and began to be broadcast after post-production.

And as expected, it immediately became the focus of attention of both countries!
