Chapter 1186: Feihuang Studio, ready to go!

"The richest man loses money from the beginning of the game ( to find the latest chapter!
At the same time, Feihuang Studio.
Zhu Xiaoce took the key members of Feihuang Studio, as well as Cui Geng, Lu Zhiyao, Zhang Zuting, Lin Jiaqiang and other actors who have worked together in the conference room.
Huang Sibo is not here, because he and Hu Xianbin went on a tour together, and they walked very peacefully...oh no, in a hurry.
Zhu Xiaoce is a bit difficult to stand alone. Fortunately, Feihuang Studio has been consciously cultivating the next generation of director candidates, so when the person in charge leaves, someone will be able to top him immediately, and nothing will go wrong.
The script for "The Successor" has already been written, and even the preparatory work has been arranged almost.
The purpose of this meeting is to finalize the script and unify the thinking, and then prepare to officially start filming.
This filming is different from the past. It is to work with a team from the United States. The characters in the play are also mainly foreigners, so naturally it is necessary to choose foreign roles.
Therefore, Zhu Xiaoce had no plans to find actors from China.
But Lu Zhiyao obviously tasted the sweetness of the previous cooperation, and he had to act in the movie if he said anything. If you don't give it, you can't leave.
Zhang Zuting, Lin Jiaqiang and others also said that they must help, even if it is just a few minutes of guest appearances?
Zhu Xiaoce was really kind, so he had to find a way to forcibly stuff all these people in. Fortunately, these people's English level is good, and there is no problem with memorizing lines. Even if the accent has a little flaw, it is more real. If it is not, you can still dub it later, so the problem is not big.
Zhu Xiaoce briefly introduced the basic content of this shooting.
"This time we are going to film in the form of a web drama. There are a total of 12 episodes, and each episode is about 50 minutes to an hour or so."
"The scripts for these 12 episodes have been sent to everyone, and a brief summary of the story is also attached to the back, so that everyone can better understand the story."
"After the filming is completed, this drama will be screened in China. It may cooperate with video sites on a solo broadcast. There are no plans for overseas screenings."
"The specific release is not the point. After all, there is no need to worry about the quality of the film. It is too early to think about this."
"Today's meeting, the original author Cui Geng is also here. If you have any questions about the story, Cui Geng and our screenwriter team will try their best to answer for everyone."
Lin Jiaqiang was also present.
He is obviously not quite qualified compared to the coffee positions of people like Lu Zhiyao and Zhang Zuting, but after all, he has also cooperated with Tenda many times, so he came to help out and did not expect to get much money.
If he is still the image of the fat man before, then he can only act as a comedian. It is obviously not appropriate to have a cameo in this play. But now that he has lost weight, it's okay to act as a passerby.
However, at this moment, he flipped through the script, revealing a slightly incomprehensible expression.
Can this work?
Feihuang Studio’s shooting this time is really full of slots, more slots than ever before!
First of all, with such a large investment, I had to cooperate with the crew in the United States to shoot. It turned out to be just a web drama, not a movie.
Secondly, this web drama is all dubbed in English. It performed a story that took place abroad, but there is no plan to be screened abroad for the time being, and priority is given to domestic.
Again, from the point of view of the subject matter and content, it is said that this is a superhero-themed movie, but in fact it has nothing to do with traditional superheroes. There is not even a good person in the traditional sense in the whole series. The biggest The protagonist is even worse.
Finally, the original work of this novel has actually been serialized on the End Chinese website, and the effect is not very good, and the acceptance of domestic online readers is not very high.
Can this work?
No matter how you look at it, it looks like it's going to hit the street.
Lin Jiaqiang looked at Lu Zhiyao and Zhang Zuting secretly, and found that although the two men were firm on the surface, in fact some small actions also revealed that they did not have 100% confidence in the script.
Obviously, no matter how many times a miracle has happened, it will still make people wonder whether the next miracle will happen.
This is human nature, not to mention that the difficulty this time is significantly higher than before.
Zhu Xiaoce was obviously aware of this, so he had a meeting in advance to unify his thoughts. If even the insiders are skeptical about the success of this web drama, it would be a lot of detours when filming.
They are all old acquaintances, so everyone no longer hides them and tells the truth about their confusion.
Zhang Zuting spoke first.
"This time the script is... quite special. But are you sure you want to adopt the form of web drama? As far as I know, the current form of web drama is generally some low-cost, small production content. After all, web drama Limited profitability."
"The big investment still wants to recoup the cost. It's best to make a movie, make a box office, and make a global box office."
"The form of online dramas, foreign themes, foreign actors, English voices, and subtitles are required for domestic broadcasting... These restrictions have repeatedly reduced the audience group and turned it into a rather niche form."
"Can this really recover the cost?"
For actors like Zhang Zuting and Lu Zhiyao, it is not very important whether the show can recover the cost, after all, they are paid a fixed salary. This drama can increase their popularity if it is popular, and there is no big loss if it is not popular.
But they are worried that if they fail this time, they may have a blow to Feihuang Studio, both in terms of funding and mentality.
What if, because of this failure, Feihuang Studio loses the unconstrained, eclectic imagination and adventurous spirit of the past, and the quality of future works declines, wouldn't it be a pity?
Therefore, it is necessary to remind.
Zhu Xiaoce replied: "Uncle Zhang, these questions you asked were specifically requested by President Pei."
"In fact, when I first started, I had the same idea. I felt that the success rate of doing this was not high. But then I thought about it again. This drama must be filmed like this!"
"First of all, this subject must be filmed abroad, just like the original "Struggle", you must choose a foreign country as the background, otherwise it won't have that taste."
"Secondly, the amount of information contained in this script is very large, and there are many key scenes. If it is split into a movie, it must be split into at least three parts, and it will also cause a lot of key information to be lost."
"Even if the split is successful, watching each movie alone is actually a bad idea, and the whole story is split up. It must be made into a drama series to show the complete core to the audience."
"As for why we should consider the domestic first... because this story is actually only a domestic audience who can better understand its meaning from the standpoint of an onlooker."
"It's not that foreign audiences must not understand it, but that we should give priority to domestic audiences."
"Combining the above points, we can only make this choice. Although the probability of success is reduced in this way, I believe that since it is the script that President Pei has given affirmation, as long as we take the film seriously, we can definitely stand out!"
Lu Zhiyao couldn't help asking: "What is the core of this story? Actually, I didn't understand it too much. I read the outline of the story, only to know that it was a despicable villain who implemented a series of plans and finally succeeded. Up."
Zhu Xiaoce replied: "According to my personal understanding...this story should be combined with works with realistic themes like "Better Tomorrow" and "Struggle."
"As for its specific meaning... Let's let the original author say it."
After speaking, he looked at Cui Geng.
The situation this time is different from before. The previous script was mainly based on Mr. Pei’s creativity. As for how to interpret Mr. Pei's creativity, it depends on the performance of Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce.
But this time the script is completely original by Cui Geng, and Mr. Pei did not participate in it, so the final interpretation power must still be with the original author.
It is precisely because the author is not President Pei that everyone does not particularly trust the script.
Cui Geng cleared his throat and said, "Actually, this story of mine is really inspired by Mr. Pei."
"To summarize briefly, "Better Tomorrow", "Struggle" and "Successor" are common in some aspects, and all have a certain insinuation effect on reality."
""Struggle" and "Better Tomorrow" are related. The society in "Struggle" in UU reading www.uukanshu.com will develop for decades, and science and technology will have several leaps and breakthroughs, and the whole social structure will become a little more extreme. , It will become the social structure in "A Better Tomorrow"."
"And "Successor" is more like a story that takes place in a parallel universe. The premise of this story is to make a hypothesis that this is a world where'superheroes rely on faith and super villains rely on mutation'. So how will the story develop."
"Just like the worries and distrust expressed in the social structure in "Better Tomorrow", I was surprised to find that the story in "The Successor" is also full of such worries and distrust."
"This kind of kernel is completely consistent."
"In fact, the theme of this story was chosen by Mr. Pei for me. I didn't understand Mr. Pei's intention at all at the beginning. I felt that the theme of superhero was actually a theme that couldn't write anything at all."
"But President Pei woke me up. He said three sentences, namely:'Superhero subjects can also be written for domestic readers','Domestic readers do not necessarily have to make domestic readers like these superheroes' and'Make these superheroes It’s okay for a superhero to write half-dead."
"I thought for a long time, and finally understood. It turned out that Pei always hoped that I could use our own cultural perspective to make a kind of subversion of popular superhero themes. It was to observe Western stories from the Chinese cultural perspective. Deconstruct, tear up the perfect coat of these works, and fully reveal its inner part!"
"Just like "Struggle", the meaning of "Successor" is to deconstruct the false ‘Utopia’ constructed in Western cultural works and show some social problems in a rather absurd form."
"Out of the real world, many problems are easier to see clearly."
