Chapter 440 Apologize to Teacher Liu, Double Standards Have Their Own Standards (23)

If Shen Santong remembered correctly, in the past, domestic modern dramas were all broadcast on CCTV, while local satellite TV stations were completely dominated.

Moreover, the modern dramas broadcast on CCTV, such as "Magic Phone", "Happy Planet" and "Home with Kids" belong to the category of domestic children's dramas.

same.

In my previous life, at the end of August this year, an idol drama was also broadcast on Shandong Satellite TV’s Golden Theater.

This is a remake of the novel "Angels Will Love You for Me" by romance writer Ming Xiaoxi. The students in the novel are dressed like mainland college students and the dormitories are normal dormitories.

Once it was broadcast, the whole network mocked it.

From clothes to school dormitories, everything was criticized.

The male and female protagonists are set to be ordinary people. Netizens think they are not fashionable or heroic enough, and their accents are also ridiculed as being unfashionable.

In fact, the plot is quite authentic.

Because it showed the true side of mainland universities, all kinds of negative comments came one after another.

Idol dramas must be filmed by Wandao to be interesting.

Various curved island elements give people a sense of fashion.

Shen Santong decided to focus on idol dramas in the future development of his TV drama business.

Modern idol dramas and costume idol dramas.

Idol dramas are easy to produce, especially modern idol dramas, which have very low costs.

It’s enough for the actor to be handsome, no need for acting skills.

Low requirements, but most likely to attract fans.

Great value for money.

Shen Santong said: "If I don't occupy this area, Wandao will occupy it."

"We must withstand all kinds of cynicism, otherwise all domestic modern dramas will be directed by Wandao in the future."

Tang Yan had never considered it from an industry perspective: "How serious are the consequences?"

Shen Santong: "It's much more serious than this. We can't compare to Hong Kong and Taiwan in terms of marketing. They are already familiar with all kinds of methods of hype, marketing, and hype."

"As for us, many production teams still believe that good wine needs no bush, and we simply cannot compete with them."

"Take the drama "Proud Boy" for example. I controlled the aesthetics throughout the whole process, and the setting was not at all unearthly."

“It’s no exaggeration to say that it’s a modern idol drama, and many aspects are exaggerated.”

Tang Yan laughed: "Just scold yourself, don't scold me too, I'm the lead actor."

Shen Santong said: "Idol dramas are essentially about selling a better life."

"Why Taiwan has an advantage in this regard? The Hong Kong accent and the Taiwan accent represent fashion because in the 1980s and 1990s, they were among the four little dragons and took the lead in development."

"This is the first-mover advantage, urbanized life, and the image of a developed country."

"It will take a long time for this habitual impression to disappear naturally. Dust will not become clean by itself if it is not swept away."

Tang Yan seemed to be thinking: "Our leading actor also complained that the set of "Youth" was almost spotless."

"The classrooms and desks and chairs are unused, the makeup and clothing are very fashionable, and the school uniforms are specially designed."

"I watched Biwan Island and Korean idol dramas, the scenes are much better."

Shen Santong said as a matter of course: "Our infrastructure is new. The large-scale infrastructure of Wandao Island was built between the 70s and 90s. The oldest ones are more than years old, and the most recent ones are more than years old."

"As for the Korean side, have you ever seen an idol drama cut to the whole scene?"

"If you go to its most prosperous part and see the panoramic view, you will know that it is very small."

The more Tang Yan thought about it, the angrier she got: "Why are there still people criticizing?"

Shen Santong said: "This involves a question of standards, what is good and what is bad?"

Tang Yan asked: "What is good and what is bad?"

Shen Santong: "Of course, if it's good for me, it's good, and if it's not good for me, it's bad."

Tang Yan: "Isn't this just being a rogue?"

Shen Santong said seriously: “This is not rogue, after repeating it many times, you will be confused.”

"Take the play 'Youth' for example. It doesn't feature a few big names, but is very down-to-earth, with a few high school students living and growing up in normal life."

"The hero eventually entered the National Defense Academy and got his wish to build rockets."

"People who criticize nowadays would say the design is too rustic and not fashionable at all."

"They would criticize what we are doing now as being out of touch with reality."

“What is the standard?” “The two aesthetics contradict each other, but they are not contradictory at all.”

"Denying and suppressing domestic idol dramas will benefit other stakeholders."

Tang Yan frowned: "Are you thinking too much?"

Shen Sandong said: "As for the costume blockbusters, I intervened in Chen Kexin's "The Warlords". As for those who said I didn't intervene, Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff", "The Kingdom and the Beauty" and "The Dragon Resurrection", do you think they are better than Chen Kaige's "The Promise"? "

Tang Yan said: "Director Chen is better. The plot is bad, but the pictures are amazing."

Shen Santong said: "From the production point of view, Chen Kaige's "The Promise" is easier to make back."

"But so what? If he blocks a Hong Kong director from making a costume movie, his movie will be unforgivable."

"Although our producers and production teams cannot compete with Hong Kong and Taiwan in terms of marketing and hype, they are still doing it after all."

"The key is the audience. Our audience is not used to it yet and doesn't know that many concepts can be instilled."

“When there’s a lot of negative comments online, it’s easy to just follow the lead.”

Not to mention 08, even ten years later, Lu Xiu Ling Tong was still treated badly.

Liu Xiao Ling Tong's claim that he wants to monopolize the right to define "Journey to the West" is purely taken out of context.

There is another sentence at the end, which is "You can't say that."

The full version is probably "I said I represent Sun Wukong and Journey to the West, but I can't say that."

A passage from Liu Xiao Ling Tong's speech was quoted, and it became that he wanted to represent Sun Wukong and "Journey to the West".

The terms "Zhangkoujulai" and "selling films at the funeral hall" were coined.

To my shame, Shen Santong has also used this trick.

A few years later, when public opinion was clarified, it was discovered that Liu Xiao Ling Tong only received 2,000 yuan for his role in "Journey to the West".

The reason why people perform is for the reputation of the Monkey King heritage.

After "Journey to the West" became a hit, some people also asked him to play the role of Sun Wukong.

But as long as it's about love and fabricated stories, he won't act no matter how much money he's offered.

The reason why Liu Xiao Ling Tong needs to be deconstructed is to defeat him, the descendant of the Monkey King who has been passed down for generations and has portrayed the Monkey King vividly.

If we don't defeat the Monkey King played by Liu Xiao Ling Tong, how can all the ugly monkeys, and real monkeys with poor acting skills who can't even use a stick, stand out on the screen?

The first one was Stephen Chow's "A Chinese Odyssey", followed by "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

Every movie or TV series based on Journey to the West will deconstruct Liu Xiao Ling Tong.

Who made him look so classic?

A play can easily cost tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, for publicity and promotion. If only one-tenth of the money is spent on this, what can Liu Xiao Ling Tong use to compete?
Plus, Liu Xiao Ling Tong has a good image and it brings back childhood memories.

Adding some ink to a piece of white paper has a publicity effect and can bring in traffic.

With a little guidance, the situation of later generations was formed.

This was also the case with mainland idol dramas in the past. They were ridiculed as soon as they were produced.

Gradually, domestic TV dramas began to invite directors like Wandao to shoot.

Under the banner of cross-strait co-production, it is actually led by Wandao staff.

If it weren't for the regulations of the Radio, Film and Television Administration, the leading actor must be matched with a mainlander.

Director Wandao can fill you with Wandao people from beginning to end.

Even Guo Jingming, who knew something about fashion, thought that hiring Taiwanese talent when making a movie was trendy, while mainland talent was tacky.

Continentalization must be avoided.

We invited a lot of Taiwanese behind-the-scenes staff and various Taiwanese actors to shoot a movie called "Tiny Times".

I dare not say all of them, but most of the ungrounded domestic dramas have the presence of Hong Kong and Taiwan teams and capital.

Over time, a voice has even formed that modern dramas can only be produced by Hong Kong and Taiwan teams.

In later generations, these Hong Kong and Taiwan teams and capital produced domestic dramas that were extremely "tacky".

For example, knowing English means being advanced, eating out means eating Western food, and starting a business means wanting to become the next Google or the next Facebook.

There is no mention of domestic Internet companies at all.

Having studied abroad, he is very famous in China, and is better than Peking University and Tsinghua University.

These scenes are earthy, not down-to-earth.

But the kind where your knees aren't in the dirt.
