Chapter 470: Resurrection of Ghost Blowing Out the Light

"The light of Chinese drama, "Beginning" counterattacks the Japanese market!"

"Who says online dramas are low? Japan is preparing to remake "The Beginning"! "

"The Beginning will be adapted into a movie, directed by the famous director Obata Ryo! "

"Cultural export, "The Beginning" becomes a benchmark for online dramas in the new era!"

Zhou Hao was stunned by the series of exaggerated essays.

Damn, it really adds value...

However, there is a reason why these marketing accounts dare to write like this - everyone likes to read it.

As China's national strength grows, people's demands for the country's soft power are also increasing.

The country’s comprehensive national strength has already firmly ranked among the “top three”, but the entertainment field is invaded and indoctrinated every day, and the good works are always produced by others... Is this reasonable?

It's so rare that Japan is willing to remake a Chinese web drama, so shouldn't we celebrate?
Not satisfied with the carnival, the marketing accounts even went to Zhou Hao's personal account and the official account of Jinghong Studio to leave messages, praising him to the point of "bringing glory to the country."

Maybe they really think so, but it is too dangerous to brag like this, and it is easy to be used by haters and trolls...

Fortunately, Zhou Hao was well prepared. He asked Zhou Yuanyuan to quickly take control of the situation and cool it down, and he also personally posted a message to cool down the situation.

"It's just a normal exchange of cultural works. There's no need to impose values ​​on it. Everyone is doing their job in various fields and positions, and they are all working hard for the country's rise. I just did what I should do. There's nothing special about it."

As soon as this update came out, the comment section became much quieter.

"Yeah, I also thought it was a bit too much. It's easy to be taken advantage of. This response came at the right time!"

"Well said! Everyone is contributing to the country's prosperity. There is no distinction between high and low!"

"He's worthy of being the first celebrity I'm a fan of. His values ​​are amazing!"

"Haha, if it were someone else, they would probably have to buy a house and live there for a month!"

"Congratulations anyway. After all, it can be considered as entering the Japanese market."

"I just don't know the quality of the remake, please don't ruin my favorite drama."

This is not only a concern for drama fans, but also what Zhou Hao is most worried about.

After finalizing the cooperation intention, he took the initiative to learn about the director Obata Ryo, well...how should I put it.

His resume is quite impressive. He has made a total of four movies after entering the industry. Except for the first one which was purely for training purposes, the next three all achieved good results.

The most recent of these, “The Mist of Heart,” even won two trophies at its own Tokyo Film Festival.

It’s just that the director’s previous films were basically all arty films that were difficult to understand and they all took a dark and obscure approach, the kind that can make people depressed for several days after watching them.

Perhaps it was because the income from art films was no longer enough to satisfy his ambitions, so he announced this year that he would switch to making commercial films.

His first choice for transformation was very stable. He directly chose "The Beginning", which had already been proven by the market, as the remake object, which had a high insurance coefficient.

After all, "Beginning" is also well-known in the Japanese market.

In order to get to know this director better, Zhou Hao directly looked for resources and watched the director's "The Mist of the Heart". After watching it once, he was dizzy and confused. What the hell is this about?
I can't understand it at all.

He gave up the idea of ​​trying it a second time and tried to find instructions for slicing on the Internet, but there was none.

At this time in 18, sliced ​​explanations of film and television dramas were not that popular, and the well-known big UP hosts in the circle basically only explained the popular masterpieces. Basically no one made unpopular art films like this one from overseas.

After thinking about it, Zhou Hao directly switched to Huaban.com.

This is one of the bases of Japanese fan fiction, maybe there will be some?
A quick search did not disappoint him.

"The Mist of the Heart", rated 8.9 on Huaban.com.

This obscure art film that left him confused was praised to the sky on the petals, surpassing a large number of classic domestic films.

Just scroll down and you can see a lot of long film reviews. Zhou Hao easily found an explanatory film review among them.

After reading the entire film in comparison with the original film, he finally understood a little bit.

This crappy movie uses a multi-line non-linear narrative, breaking a good story into pieces... If you don't watch it a dozen times and record all the complete information to piece it together, you really won't understand it.

But even comparing it with the reference answers, Zhou Hao still felt that the film was a bit bad.

Multi-line narrative and non-linear narrative can be very exciting if played well. When various coincidental plot lines are finally connected together and explode, the sense of satisfaction is absolutely unquestionable.

And those details of the non-fresh narrative are also one of the driving forces for movie fans to watch the movie twice or three times...

However, this work, "The Mist of Heart", clearly has a bit of showmanship.

To put it bluntly, it is multi-line for the sake of multi-line, and non-linearity for the sake of non-linearity. It is not for the purpose of telling a good story at all, but purely for showing off skills - look, how well I play it!

However, a strange phenomenon in the film industry is that the more abstract, obscure and highbrow a film is, the more likely it is to be favored by the judges.

To use Liu Wei's words - if everyone can understand what you shoot, how can it make me, a judge, appear to be highly skilled and unique?
Letting this kind of director remake "The Beginning"... Zhou Hao already had a bad feeling in his heart.

The concept of the event cycle in "The Beginning" is a bit abstract. Even if this story is told in the length of a TV series, it has a certain threshold. Compressing it into a two-hour movie will only make it more difficult to understand.

Coupled with the director's penchant for showing off his skills, the final product is expected to surprise people...

But the copyright has already been given out, and it’s no use thinking about it now.

Just leave it to fate.

As Peter Lam said, even if the other side doesn’t shoot well, it may not be a bad thing for him!
When the enthusiasm for the remake of "The Beginning" gradually began to fade, Zhou Hao finally received good news - "Ghost Blows Out the Light" passed the review of the relevant departments and was successfully resurrected!

And there is no need to change a single word, it is released intact!
When he heard the news, he really breathed a sigh of relief.

God have mercy on him, he has already prepared for the worst!
This cash cow finally survived!
However, until this point, he didn't even know who was behind it!

Zhang Hong's ability was no longer able to handle this kind of high-level situation, so a few days ago he had privately approached Miss Su Mansu and asked her to help him get some information.

After all, you live in the heart of China, so you're more informed.

However, when he went to inquire about the news again, Su Man's reply was: "You'd better not investigate this matter. Just let it go."
