Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 385 Three points, the sincerity of Shanghai Film Studio

"To be honest, when I first saw this female lead, I felt she was just average, but now the more I watch her, the more I like her!"

"Wow, this is incredible! With such a cast, each episode has over 100 million viewers. This should be the first online drama on Kiwi to have over 100 million viewers per episode this year, right?"

"Kiwi, this thigh is so tight! Take off in a straight line!"

"Kiwi: If Nanxun culture is strong, then Kiwi will be strong!"

“When the heroine runs, it feels so good!”

"An Ran charges for love!"

"It's a pity for An Ran and Brother Qin, but she's very sweet with Brother Gou now!"

"I just want to know, when will the kissing scene happen?"

"As far as I know, there seems to be no kissing scene~"

"Is this true? There are no kissing scenes in teen movies? Are you kidding me?"

"I feel like Brother Qin is having a really hard time, especially when he said, 'When did life ever give me the age of 18?' Damn, I burst into tears!"

"I just hope to give Brother Qin a good ending!"

In the comment section, netizens expressed their opinions freely and were not at all surprised at Fengquan’s achievements.

After all, in their opinion, this is the level that Nanxun Culture should have, and it is also the quality that the drama Feng Quan deserves.

When Lin Li was revising the script, he deliberately changed the three problems in Feng Quan's original time and space that had been criticized.

The first point is that the characters’ expressions and movements were too exaggerated in the first two episodes. Because of this reason, many people gave up watching the show after watching the first two episodes.

The second point is the accent problem. In the original time and space, the actors spoke in the poor Shancheng dialect that they learned by themselves. It was precisely because of this that the drama was criticized by a large number of Shancheng audiences.

Lin Li simply let Zhao Qian use dubbing for all the parts in dialect, so the audience in Shancheng are very satisfied with the show when it is broadcast now. After all, it is a story that takes place in Shancheng.

The last point is about Liu Wenqin’s ending, but this cannot be reflected now. We have to wait and see the feedback on the ending later.

Lin Li is confident that it will be much better than the original time and space.

Liu Wenqin in the original time and space was killed by the screenwriter. In Lin Li's opinion, this was actually a cerebral operation that sacrificed authenticity and logic in order to create abrupt dramatic conflicts and reversals.

Liu Wenqin and many fans of the drama felt disgusted by this part. One interpretation was that this was to show how the young man was finally smoothed out by the friction of society, but that is not the case.

Liu Wenqin is the character who grows the fastest in the play. He has completed the transformation from a student to a social animal, gradually accepted the regrets of the imperfections of his first love, the bad luck of encountering obstacles everywhere in his life, and constantly fought against the fate. From being safe to dropping out of school, to being arrested, to escaping to Chengdu, where he opened a shop and then met Sister Xin. The two supported each other, scratched lottery tickets every day, and begged for money from the neighbors. Their days became dull and trivial.

So in Lin Li's opinion, whether it is the screenwriter or the director, Liu Wenqin's forced removal is really not a smart way of handling the matter.

Life will eventually wear away Liu Wenqin's edges, and An Ran will become Bai Yueguang, addicted to the Lotto, and also like to play mahjong. He will be charged protection fees, and even not be with Sister Xin in the end. The young Liu Wenqin will eventually become the adult Liu Wenqin, and the middle-aged Liu Wenqin will also become fat and greasy.

If the previous hardships, twists and turns, and even death brought people warmth and touching moments, then the arrangement of Liu Wenqin's death in the final stage shattered all empathy.

What is produced is not helplessness, sadness and sympathy, but only anger, the self-righteous and shrewd anger at the screenwriter and director who are calculating behind the camera how many tears this conflict will earn.

The most crucial thing is that screenwriter Li Zelin posted a blog, implicitly admitting that he had added more scenes to the role of Liu Wenqin, which was really embarrassing.

Li Zelin said that after meeting the actor, he was given great inspiration, so he wrote Liu Wenqin to death?
Even though he has no effect on the plot and annoys the audience, he just has to die. Even if it ends badly, Liu Wenqin has to become a thorn in everyone's heart?

Is this the pain literature of youth?

Not only does he have to write about his death, but he also has to insert scenes of the hero and heroine listening to music together into the scene where he is stabbed to death, as if he is still thinking about the heroine before he dies. Then what about his new girlfriend?
It also seems that if the male and female protagonists were together, it would be unfair to Liu Wenqin. Are they not worthy?

Lin Li was too tired to complain and could only change, change, and change!

Now, just wait for the new ending of Wind Dog to come.

-

On April 4th, Modu.

Today is the last day of Xinghan's audition, but Lin Li took Gao Wen and took a flight to Shanghai.

They arrived at 11 o'clock in the morning. After arriving, the three of them did not stay for long. Instead, they were picked up directly and taken to their destination - Shanghai Film Studio.

It has been nearly half a year since the preparations for Last Year's Fanhua began. With Wang Mojing's usual procrastination, it was finally confirmed that the auditions will be held on the 26th of this month.

The purpose of Lin Li's visit this time was to discuss cooperation matters with Shanghai Film Group.

As for the matter with Huayi a few days ago, Lin Li received a call from Wang Zhonglei that night. He stated that he had dismissed Wei Jin and hoped that he would not let Huayi withdraw its investment in Xinghan.

Lin Li didn't give him a chance and refused directly.

Not to mention the major earthquake that will happen in the Beijing circle in the near future, just looking at Huayi, which is already showing signs of decline, it can only be said that the towering tree must have been rotten from the roots.

From people like Wei Jin, we can know what kind of attitude Huayi has in the circle.

To this day, they have not yet realized that the film and television industry is now dominated by three major platforms, and are still indulging in the glory of the past.

It can only be said that Huayi’s future decline is inevitable. Lin Li thinks it is better to stay away from such a company.

As for Huayi’s loss of face, that’s a joke. How could Huayi have any face in front of him?
Lin Li also wanted to take this opportunity to let all the major film and television companies in the circle know that I can help you make money. That's why I entered this circle and wanted everyone to get along harmoniously. But if I don't want to play with you, you are nothing!

Times have changed, but I don’t know who will be the one to ask investors to return the casting rights to directors this time.

It’s a bit sad... But it’s okay, after all, I am also a capital, right?
As for the cooperation with Shanghai Film Group, it was Shanghai Film Group that took the initiative to bring it up.

In order to cooperate with Shanghai Film Group, a wealthy company, Xu Fei has traveled back and forth between Beijing and Shanghai many times in the past six months.

In fact, the details of the cooperation have already set the tone.

It was just that Wang Jianer, the leader of this cooperation at Shanghai Film Group, said that he wanted to meet Lin Li before signing the contract, so this trip to Shanghai was made.

Lin Li still attaches great importance to Mr. Wang Jianer.

After all, he is now the president of Shanghai Film Group, and will be the chairman of Shanghai Film Group next year.

Speaking of which, this cooperation with Shanghai Film Group was also facilitated by this person.

Last year, Wang Jianer learned that he was planning to start the Fanhua TV series. In order not to miss the opportunity to adapt Fanhua, which is considered to be "the best Shanghai novel in the 21st century", into a TV series, he immediately began to contact Nanxun Culture and promised to solve the problem of filming locations for Fanhua. Shanghai Film Group thus joined the production camp of Fanhua.

In order to meet the filming needs of Fanhua, Shanghai Film Group plans to invest 5 million yuan to acquire the Haopu Film and Television Base, the only one that Wang Mojing has set his sights on in the vicinity of Shanghai.

The base is adjacent to the Chedun Film and Television Base under Shanghai Film Group. It not only has a large studio of over 5000 square meters, but also is equipped with a high-standard professional underwater photography pool.

At the same time, according to Wang Mojing's requirements, Shanghai Film Group will create the real scenes of Huanghe Road and Jinxian Road, the main story stage of Fanhua, at the Chedun Film and Television Base with 50-year construction standards and 1:1.

It can be said to be full of sincerity.

So Lin Li naturally attached great importance to the meeting with Wang Jianer. He asked Chen Chao to watch the audition during the weekend while he rushed to Shanghai.

In his opinion, Fanhua has greater significance for the domestic film and television industry as well as for producers such as Penguin Video and Shanghai Film Group.

On the one hand, in a mature film and television industry system like Hollywood, it is not uncommon to buy a piece of land and carry out detailed landscaping operations in order to produce a high-quality TV series.

While ensuring the quality of the series, this film and television base will be able to continue to serve other series in the future, and may even become a new tourist destination due to the popularity of Fanhua.

Shanghai Film Group also has this intention. When communicating with Xu Fei, Wang Jianer revealed that after the construction of the real scene of Huanghe Road is completed, it will become a carrier for the exploration of "film and television + cultural tourism" in the Magic City Film and Television Park together with other real scenes such as the Wukang Building newly built in recent years.

The Haopu Film and Television Base, which was purchased, is also aiming to establish the Shanghai Film Science and Technology Innovation Center. It will carry out in-depth linkage with the Shanghai Film and Television Park in a "front shop and back factory" style to build it into a future-oriented digital creative industry community and intelligent international film set.

It can be seen that Wang Jianer attaches great importance to this cooperation.

After getting off the car, Lin Li immediately spotted Wang Jianer, who was waiting at the main entrance of Shanghai Film Studio with a group of people. He then quickened his pace and went to greet him with a polite smile.

He glanced around and saw about thirty media reporters waiting on the side, which meant they had made preparations early on.

"Boss Wang, I'm so scared. How can I trouble you to wait here?"

"Haha! It's okay. We should welcome our teacher Nanxun."

"I have been looking forward to it so much that finally Teacher Nanxun has arrived."

"Tsk... I have to admit, Teacher Nanxun does look quite young!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Wang."

"I have been looking forward to meeting Mr. Wang for a long time. I have heard from Mr. Xu that Mr. Wang is really generous. I am very grateful to Mr. Wang for his support to our Nanxun Culture."

"Hey, Mr. Nanxun, you're joking. I should be the one to thank you for writing a piece that highlights the flavor of the Magic City. It's our luck to have Fanhua here."

"Mr. Wang is so complimentary."

Lin Li and Wang Jianer held hands tightly. Although it was their first meeting, they had a good impression of each other.

Wang Jianer is a man of courage. He was the one who made possible the construction of the Fanhua project in the original time and space. After learning about the launch of the Fanhua project through his circle of friends, he took the initiative to find Wang Mojing and donated money, land and manpower.

Facts have proved that his vision was correct. The flourishing flowers have allowed many of the unique traditions of Shanghai to be carried forward. The newly built film and television base has also become an instant hit and has become a new check-in spot in Shanghai.

Dozens of media reporters have surrounded the two of them, and the sounds of "clicks" and flashes of light are endless.

"Hello, Mr. Nanxun and Mr. Wang, I am Zhang Qiang, a reporter from Eastday.com."

"I would like to ask you two about today's meeting. Is there any cooperation between us at Shanghai Film Academy and Mr. Nanxun?"

Wang Jianer turned to look at the reporter named Zhang Qiang, then made eye contact with Lin Li and turned with him to face the many reporters in front of them.

"That's right. We at Shanghai Film Studio will cooperate with Nanxun's Nanxun Culture to jointly create a TV series of the same name adapted from Nanxun's original work, Fanhua."

“I believe everyone has long known about the news that Fanhua will be adapted into a TV series. We at Shanghai Film Studios will also join in and support Fanhua.”

"To this end, we at Shanghai Film Studio are expected to invest 1 million yuan to build a professional filming base for Fanhua, and at the same time restore the real scenes of Huanghe Road and Jinxian Road in the original novel 1:. Please stay tuned."

“I believe that Teacher Nanxun and Director Wang will bring us a work full of the flavor of Shanghai!”

As Wang Jianer's loud voice fell, the whole scene immediately became quiet.

How much? Five hundred million!
