Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 160 Yamamoto, I am your immortal (3)

The ending song has started to play, but Wei Shenmo himself didn't notice it. His current state is completely different from what it was just now. He was still looking at "Drawing Sword" with disdain, and was very dissatisfied with Wei Junjie's decision to look at him.

At that time, her heart was still on the variety show and her brother on the variety show.

Today is the day when her idol will be on a variety show.

But now
As she watched the ending song, she had only one feeling, which was that it was not satisfying.

It’s just not satisfying.

Wei Junjie was amused: "Didn't you just say you didn't want to watch it?"

Wei Shenmo was silent for a moment before he said, "I admit that this drama is indeed different from other anti-Japanese war dramas."

“I have told you a long time ago that few young people of our generation like to watch anti-Japanese war dramas. It is not because young people are not interested in that period of history. On the contrary, young people’s memories are very deep. Our education since childhood has also told us that we have such a bloody history, which we must keep in mind.

But because of this, TV dramas of this type emerge in endlessly. Basically, half of the crews crowded in Shudian Film and Television City every year are shooting the short drama "Dragon King", and the other half are those shooting Anti-Japanese War dramas. Filming the Anti-Japanese War has become a business. They don't know how to innovate and like to copy. This is also the biggest problem with Anti-Japanese War dramas nowadays.

Why don't young audiences like to watch it? Isn't it because they are just a different story? No matter what, the underlying logic is the same. If you flip through the pages, you will always find the same template. Either the protagonist's family is broken up, and then the tragic beginning of the protagonist is emphasized. Then the protagonist goes to work, joins the war, and fights with a regiment from the beginning to the end.

Then, in the process, some emotional lines are highlighted, and a female protagonist is introduced with food and lodging, and then the female protagonist is arranged to die in the end, either being tortured to death by the enemy or sacrificing herself. The biggest function is to trick people into crying, and then the protagonist gets revenge in the finale. Do you think it is all this template? Or it is all kinds of magical dramas, such as the one about Gazi, where the protagonist is like Superman, pinning the enemy to the ground and beating them up, and the plot is so bad. "

Wei Junjie analyzed it for a while, and then Wei Shenmo nodded in agreement.

It must be said that this analysis is really very correct. Most of the current anti-Japanese war dramas follow this template.

This was also the first time she had seen an anti-Japanese war drama like "Drawing Sword". It did not follow any routine at all, and was not filmed in the same way as others had done.

I have to say that it really gave her a unique experience.

And although the team leader Li Yunlong is also very awesome, he is far from being a god-level drama and is still within the acceptable normal range.

And the most important point is that all the actors’ acting skills are excellent!

Especially the regiment commander Li Yunlong, he really acted the role vividly, as if there really was such a bold and careful, rough and muscular general standing in front of him.

There are also people who are fighting to save the collapsing empire in the flames of war.

Plus, the director’s control.

The pictures are neat and tidy, without any clutter, and they see the big picture from the small. Many shots are well used, telling the story of that time with the simplest and most straightforward pictures.

"Do you know who is the director?" Wei Junjie asked at the right time.

"Who?" Wei Shenmo asked, "Is the director also participating?"

“Yes.” Wei Junjie said proudly, “Chu Yunfei is Director Xia’s.”

"It turned out to be him!" Wei Shenmo was shocked.

Of course she knew Chu Yunfei. He had just appeared in the show. There were also quite a few shots of this general from the other camp.

His style is completely different from Li Yunlong's. This general from another camp is smart, calm, wise, elegant, a complete academic general. He does everything according to the rules, and he is very handsome. His troops are well-equipped.

Just a few shots leave a very deep impression.

That handsome and wise general was actually played by Xia Yuan? As a director, how can you act so well?
"Director Xia is an outlier. Although he is a director, he is also the professional No. 1 in new dramas. His acting skills are very explosive. Let's just say that he is the only director who has won the Best Actor Award." Wei Junjie said: "And Xia Yuan's works generally have a big feature, that is, he doesn't let others make money. Of course, this doesn't mean that he is stingy, but he will take on many responsibilities, including the post-production of the work, and even the soundtrack, all of which are done by him."

"Is he so talented?" Wei Shenmo was shocked: "Then why doesn't he become an idol?"

"Idol?" Wei Junjie sneered, "Who are you looking down on? Is Director Xia comparable to your brothers? He is the one who directs your brothers. He has a different status in the industry. Why do you want to be an idol?"

"You are not allowed to say that about my brother!" Wei Shenmo immediately became unhappy.

But, surprisingly, she didn't seem that angry at all?

This is really amazing.

Soon, the advertisement ended and they continued watching.

The scene enters the second episode.

At the beginning of the second episode, Li Yunlong, who had been punished and became a worker in a garment factory and was making clothes, received an order to report to the headquarters and then resume his post as the head of the group.

However, it was Li Yunlong who said directly after hearing this: "No! I won't go! Everything needs to be clarified. Why did you remove me as the main leader in the first place?"

Wei Shenmo and Wei Junjie, who were watching TV, burst out laughing at the same time.

"Puchi, it's Li Yunlong again. If you say you don't want to go, then don't go. It was you who arranged for me to operate the sewing machine to weave clothes, and now you want me to go back? I won't go! I can weave clothes!"

"Old Li is angry."

"Hahahaha, if there's a leader who doesn't behave properly, I'll just knit clothes, so that's what makes this character attractive, and it also has a cute side."

"But this is not good either. A soldier's duty is to obey orders. Disobeying orders is actually against the principle. If all soldiers were like this, what would the war of resistance be?"

"But there is no other way. This is a special period, and sometimes you have to act differently. The team actually knows that they need one or two people like Li Yunlong to appear occasionally to break through certain situations. Although they are undisciplined and like to stir up trouble, their loyalty to the team is unquestionable, and the organization is also very clear about this, so they will use them. However, this kind of person must be able to be truly determined to be loyal. This is why Li Yunlong still exists and has not suffered a heavy loss. There is also a corresponding prototype in history."

Wei Junjie said: "This is also the reason why I highly recommend Xia Yuan's drama. It's not entirely because of my role in it, but also because the drama is very close to history and is a very well-made work."

The two talked for a while and the scene continued.

The liaison officer was immediately unhappy with Li Yunlong's refusal: "Hey, Captain Li, this is the order from the boss himself."

Snapped!
Li Yunlong slammed the table.

"Don't even mention Boss Yuan. Even if you are the king of heaven, you have to distinguish right from wrong, right?"

On the other side, the nursing home.

Someone who was also watching TV and eating received a look.

The old man held the bowl and glanced at Xia Yuan: "You kid, are you cursing me in a roundabout way?"

"Ahem." Xia Yuan coughed awkwardly: "Filming, filming, plot, plot."

The senior student standing by watched the show while holding back her laughter.

I just like watching this scene, the whole family is so happy together, and Xia Yuan has also initially integrated into his own family and life. How can one not be happy when seeing this scene of his closest family members and his beloved being so happy together?
