Chapter 472 Work Arrangement (2k, can’t hold on any longer)
(half chapter)

Before Lin Shaner participated in "National Glory: Japan and Korea", "My Love from the Star" was quickly completed.

After all, "My Love from the Star" is very short, with only 21 episodes in total, which is very rare among domestic long-running romance dramas.

In fact, this is just right for a romance drama.

If you shoot longer, you will inevitably end up filling the film with too much time, using memories and boring daily life to fill the film.
Or they may create a lot of melodrama by having the hero and heroine experience terminal illness, car accidents, misunderstandings, etc. after being together, artificially adding twists and turns.

After all, Journey to the West only had 25 episodes, but it told 57 tribulations, which was enough for the pilgrims to go to the West to obtain the scriptures! It even completely filmed the love between the brother and the king of the kingdom of women.

Aren’t these two love stories of “if there is an afterlife” and the regret of “how can we have both in this world, without disappointing Tathagata and without disappointing you” more interesting than many love dramas of fifty or sixty episodes?
There is even a theme song - "Daughter's Love": "Mandarin ducks live together and butterflies fly together, the spring scenery in the garden is intoxicating. I quietly ask the holy monk, is my daughter beautiful?"

(The TV series did not film all 81 difficulties, and later "Journey to the West Sequel" filmed 20 more difficulties, adding up to 77 difficulties. - Data quoted from Yang Muzi.)
So, a romance drama is complete with twenty episodes, including Su Zhe’s previous romance drama, "Itazura na Kiss", which only had 20 episodes.

"My Love from the Star" has finished filming and started post-production.

Su Zhe finally had some free time and began to understand the main business of the two companies.

Long Aotian has already started filming "Signal", which is a work in the Tang Detective universe. It is impossible for Su Zhe to play any role.

But he wanted to make a cameo appearance as Qin Feng, so he took advantage of the wrapping of "My Love from the Star" while in South Korea and went to the crew to shoot for a day. By the way, he got a bunch of contact information - and threw it away.

After "Signal", Long Aotian will go to Japan to film "Hagane Naoki".

Zhang Hongwei asked Su Zhe, "Hagane Naoki" is finally not a spin-off of the Tang Detective universe, does he want to play the protagonist, Hanzawa Naoki?
Su Zhe knew that this drama would definitely be a hit, and he also knew how much of an impact this drama would have on the male lead - it won the annual championship, set a record for the highest ratings for a single episode since the Heisei era in Japan, and won the Best Work, Best Actor, and Best Director awards!
But the problem is that Su Zhe is not used to the exaggerated Japanese acting style in "Hanzawa Naoki".

He had heard of Masato Sakai in his previous life, and watched his "Hanzawa Naoki" and "Lee Gou Hai" despite the discomfort.

But I still can't accept it. I always feel that Masato Sakai's expressions are too exaggerated and his body movements are too rich, like a stage play.

Even though Hoshino Gen's wife Yui Aragaki appeared in "Li Gou Hai", Su Zhe still found it difficult to watch it.

In his opinion, he still prefers natural acting, and believes that the best acting is the one without any trace of acting.

Therefore, he most admires actors such as Tony Leung Ka Fai and Zhou Xun.

Masato Sakai's rise from a supporting actor to an award-winning actor is of course an outstanding acting skill, but his performance style in these two dramas is similar to that of Jim Carrey, using exaggerated expressions to create jokes and then using contrast to interpret the role.

But this kind of Japanese exaggeration doesn't match Su Zhe's brain waves!
Just as some people are completely unable to accept nonsense and cannot accept Stephen Chow, Su Zhe is also unable to accept the performance of "Hanzawa Naoki".

If he asked the actor who plays the protagonist, Naoki Hanzawa, to either endure the discomfort and force himself to imitate, the result would often be bad - after all, if even the actor can't accept it, how can he convince the audience with his acting skills?
Exaggeration also requires acting skills!

Otherwise, he could just change his acting style and play the Naoki Hanzawa in his mind.

However, Su Zhe did not think that his understanding could surpass that of the native Japanese film emperor Sakai Masato. He estimated that after his own changes, the ratings of the show would drop.

So he thought about it and decided to just give up, and simply refused:
"No, I don't like playing a Japanese soldier... At least I can play a Japanese translator."

This reason was so strong that Zhang Hongwei couldn't refuse it at all:

"Okay, then I'll go to the casting."

As for the animated film "The Lion King", there is no need for casting, but it is stuck with the main character.

As a 2D animated film, "The Lion King" took a very long time to produce, resulting in high production costs, mainly due to extremely high labor costs.

After all, this is an animated film, and every frame must be drawn carefully without being lazy.

So Zhang Hongwei kept asking whether to change it to 3D animation. However, Su Zhe knew how disastrous the 3D version of "The Lion King" was, just like "Animal World" with real-life dubbing.

Moreover, 3D animation has technical barriers! Without the technology of the mouse factory, the hair produced will be stiff.

On the other hand, although 2D animation is costly, it has no technical barriers, and Su Zhe is confident that he can replicate the classics of his previous life.

"Find an artist to produce it. I will provide the character drawings, and it must be carefully produced." Su Zhe arranged calmly, "Don't worry, this animation can recoup its costs in China, and I have greater expectations."

He thought for a moment and added, "I voiced Simba myself."

Zhang Hongwei did not hesitate any longer.

In terms of artistic sense, he can fully trust Su Zhe.

In addition to the cost, the production time will also be at least one year. After all, it is difficult to find so many excellent painters.

After all, Long Aotian is not a rat factory and does not have animation business, so it can only hire or outsource.

Next, Zhang Hongwei reported on the production progress of "The Garland under the Mountain".

Everything went smoothly and the film was scheduled for the Spring Festival, with the highest screening rate in the same period.

Although Zhai Xiaowen's "Battle of the King Kong River" took two years to prepare and did better in publicity, theaters all knew who the real big shot was.

This made Zhai Xiaowen a little indignant, and he said some strange things during the interview.

The film "Battle of the King Kong River" even had its actors constantly participating in publicity, trying to overshadow "The Garland" in terms of momentum.

Su Zhe understood that Zhang Hongwei was subtly persuading him to return to China more often to participate in publicity and not just think about "National Honor".

“Don’t worry, the popularity has been so high these days, netizens can’t just verbally support me in beating up my little life and not go to the movie, right?”

"Besides, I will participate in the promotion before the Spring Festival, so don't worry."

After Su Zhe learned about Long Aotian, he went to find Yan Xiling again.

There is nothing wrong with Mary Sue's artists, everything is normal in the country, and the circle is calm.

But Yan Xiling urged Su Zhe to hold a concert:
"Su Zhe, you've been popular for more than three years, and you've been in the industry for almost seven years. It's time for you to hold a concert. Your fans can't wait."

Su Zhe didn't want to hold a concert. Singing the same songs all day long would make him as tired as a dog.

Although they make a lot of money, many singers don't make any money at all from songs. After all, the market for genuine songs is too bad and piracy is too rampant.

They make money from concerts, commercial performances and other performances.

Even in Europe and the United States, where the music market is better, singers mainly make money from concerts.

But the problem is—Su Zhe is not short of money!
"No, I'm writing Japanese songs. I promised to release a Japanese album."

Su Zhe ran away quickly.

Even if he is an iron man, he needs to rest!

I might as well go out and have some fun under the pretext of needing inspiration for songwriting!
