Chen Ming overestimated Wan Youcai and Liao Pingshui!
Chen Ming even wanted to scold Wan Youcai in front of him, and then ask him: "How the hell did you choose the role?"
The first episode gave Chen Ming a critical blow.
In the play,
The Zhang family's position as the head of the nine sects was replaced by the Huo family.
Naturally, the title of Zhang Dafo Ye in the Old Nine Sects also changed and became Huo Da Fo Ye.
The opening scene shows an old-style green train slowly driving into a train station in Xixiang.
Then, a shocking plot appeared.
The person on duty who is responsible for guarding the train station on the night shift has not yet gone to check what is going on with the train. The male lead of this drama has appeared!
It is our Lord Huo!
A prophet?
Stay up late at night??
The reason given in the play is: Mr. Hofer passed by the train station and happened to come in to take a look.
In an instant, Chen Ming was shocked!
Since you have chosen to copy my script, why not copy it all?
Copy half and change half yourself...
What was changed was quite embarrassing.
This is not the most important thing!
What Chen Ming couldn't accept the most was that the male star who played Lord Huo turned out to be a sissy, with an orchid finger habitually pinched on his right hand.
This is the action of February Red. Buddha did it, so what did February Red do?
Chen Ming's blood pressure suddenly rose.
But Li Chong and others looked at it with great interest and seemed not to realize that anything was inappropriate.
At most, I feel that the male actors in the play are a little embarrassed.
After reading half of it, Chen Ming turned his head back.
To put it simply, "The Ups and Downs of the Sand Sea" has made a lot of changes based on Chen Ming's basic background, and even adjusted the personalities of some of the original characters.
As a fan of the original work, Chen Ming couldn’t accept it!
Soon, the dishes were served.
Li Chong and others no longer pay attention to the content on TV.
After the meal, Chen Ming was thinking about Lao Jiumen's affairs, so he found an excuse and ran away first.
Returning to the empty hotel room, Chen Ming felt a little sad. He was used to living alone in the past, so he didn't feel anything.
But after Su Rou broke into his life, he suddenly found that he couldn't live without Su Rou.
Now that he was alone, he still felt a little lonely.
Without thinking much, Chen Ming dialed Zheng Rong's phone number.
"Director Zheng."
"Chen Ming, I just want to find you too!"
Zheng Rong held the first-day playback data table of "The Ups and Downs of the Sand Sea" in his hand. Judging from the data, this TV series received mixed reviews, but the negative reviews accounted for the majority.
The audience is not stupid.
Some obvious logical loopholes can be seen at a glance.
In order to film this TV series as early as possible, Wan Youcai and Liao Pingshui paid very little attention to the details, which is equivalent to hastily and released for the sake of release.
This is a good thing for Zheng Rong and Chen Ming!
"The rating of "The Ups and Downs of the Sand Sea" on Douhua.com is only 7.2, and among the real-time refreshed barrages, 60 or 70 out of every 100 are fault-finding."
"Overall, this show is a hit."
More than just pounce!
But it was very thorough!!
This is only the broadcast situation of the first two episodes. If the previous problems are not corrected after the subsequent episodes are broadcast, there will be more people giving negative reviews.
Chen Ming hummed: "I took a look at the plot content of the first episode, and it was normal for me to pounce."
No one can accept a Buddha who often pinches his orchid fingers!
After all, he is a warlord in Xixiang, so he should show the appearance and look of a warlord.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ming asked tentatively: "If we form our own team, can we film my script?"
Zheng Rong replied seriously: "Yes!"
"but......."
As soon as the words changed, Zheng Rong seemed a little embarrassed again.
Chen Ming frowned slightly.
Zheng Rong continued: "Our script is very similar to "The Rise and Fall of the Sand Sea", so if we want to film our own script, we need to buy the remake rights."
“Buy the remake rights???”
Chen Mingren suddenly felt bad!
Zheng Rong was also very helpless: "Yes, we need to buy the remake rights of "The Ups and Downs of the Sand Sea"."
This is the most fucked up thing.
It was obvious that Wan Youcai and Liao Pingshui plagiarized Chen Ming's script, but now, they actually had to buy their remake rights, otherwise they would not be able to film.
How ironic!
But there is nothing we can do about it.
China has very strict protection for the creative rights of original works. If you remake it without authorization from the original film studio, you will be fined at least, and sentenced at worst.
Chen Ming didn't know what to say.
He was not willing to give money to Wan Youcai, but he was not willing to watch such a good script as Lao Jiumen being made into such a third-rate product.
At this moment, Zheng Rong said in a serious tone: "I'll talk about buying the remake rights."
"Even if I put down this old face, I will still get you the right to remake it!"
"When will you return to Yuncheng?"
Chen Ming thought for a while: "Probably next month. I may have to spend the New Year here before going back."
Hearing this, Zheng Rong made a decision directly: "Before you come back, I will settle the remake rights. As for the director, production crew, and actors, do you need me to make simultaneous arrangements?"
Chen Ming said confidently: "I have a candidate in mind, and I will handle the director and actors."
"Thank you for your hard work, Director Zheng!"
It was not easy for Zheng Rong to obtain the remake rights.
With Wan Youyou's face, he will definitely disgust Zheng Rong again, and then he will open his mouth when it comes to the price of the remake rights.
Chen Ming also knew in his heart that this matter was very difficult.
Zheng Rong didn't say anything and hung up the phone after a few words.
After that, Chen Ming opened his laptop again, logged into Douhua.com, and read all the netizen comments on the first two episodes of "The Ups and Downs of the Sand Sea".
Many netizens still like novel things.
There are not many war scenes in the play, but it has attracted a lot of praise.
Another example is the hot topic of tomb robbing, which also remains high on Douhua.com!
There aren't many plots about tomb robbing in "The Rise and Fall of the Sand Sea".
To put it bluntly, it is actually using the guise of war and tomb robbery to attract viewers to click in and watch. If the plot is exciting enough, the viewers who click in will stay and become permanent fans.
But as long as the plot is stretched out a little bit, the complaints about this drama will be infinitely amplified.
Obviously, Wan Youcai's "The Ups and Downs of the Sand Sea" is the latter.
After Chen Ming reads all the comments, he will compare them with his own script for "Old Nine Gates".
"Old Nine Gates" also has some problems.
Afterwards, Chen Ming perfected the script in his mind as much as possible, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Old Nine Gates" and "The Tuner" are different!
The advantage of micro-movies is that they are short and concise.
After watching the micro-movie once, if the audience feels that it is still unfinished, they will watch it a second or even a third time.
But TV dramas usually last for dozens of episodes.
Every episode is a short movie!
Under such a length of time, the audience's patience will be worn away very quickly, and they need to be given constant visual stimulation to retain them.
A small climax in half an hour;
One big climax in one hour.
This is a standard feature of an excellent TV series.
Chen Ming believes that the improved "Old Nine Gates" has already achieved this.
