Chapter 258 Joking is not nonsense, adaptation is not random! (Part 1
When Lin Zheng knew that so many directors had suddenly appeared in a few days, trying to compete with him for food.
Immediately there was endless urgency in his heart!
"These people are really too much. They make me even want to take a dip and take a rest. It seems that "Mr. Zombie 3" must be put on the schedule as soon as possible!"
Lin Zheng said bitterly.
Next to him, Li Changsheng did not cover up, and immediately asked: "Then... do we have to review them? Ghost movies are indeed not just casually shot, and they must be consistent with realistic settings to avoid causing discomfort to the audience.
Good guidance, and this review is also a very troublesome thing. How can I have so much time to read the script every day..."
Li Changsheng did not directly attribute the reason for rejecting these ghost films to Lin Zheng, but instead mentioned some other troubles.
Of course, although these troubles do exist, there are solutions to them.
The reason why he didn't say anything but expressed his rejection of these ghost movies in this way was entirely to set Lin Zheng off.
After all, if Lin Zheng still doesn't agree with what he said, he will inevitably appear to be a bit petty.
Lin Zheng did not realize what Li Changsheng really meant.
Because he never thought about what Li Changsheng and the others were worried about from the beginning.
Movies are inherently a battlefield.
As long as others don't use some harsh, off-site means and factors.
Just rely on the absolute quality of the movie to defeat him head-on.
He definitely has no opinion at all.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Lin Zhengye to rely on the government and use this method to hinder others' fair competition.
Besides, his goal is always just box office.
No matter how others make ghost movies or zombie movies, no matter how good they are, they can't really affect his core status.
The official should help him brush his votes, and they will still help him.
Therefore, there is no need for such despicable methods.
Lin Zheng thought for a while and sincerely suggested: "I think it is beneficial to let these directors make ghost movies. Although there is nothing interesting in it, the overall atmosphere will still have a positive effect. So many ghost movies
Combined with zombie movies, it will definitely have a greater impact on the public than me alone!
Moreover, they will definitely find many actors who are popular with the audience, even popular celebrities. It cannot be denied that these people are also useful. At least their fans may want more after seeing their brother play a Taoist priest.
Understand these things. Of course, as you said, Captain Li, their settings must be consistent with reality to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Having said this, Lin Zheng paused for a moment, and then continued: "As for the review... In fact, what needs to be reviewed is the various worldviews and settings. We can summarize them and let others, such as directly
This right is returned to the review department and let them do their work."
"That makes sense..." Li Changsheng nodded deeply.
"But we still have to pay attention. We'd better send a knowledgeable person over and keep an eye on them, lest the people in the review department don't work seriously..."
"That makes sense..."
…
Lin Zheng and Li Changsheng had a brief discussion and decided on the whole matter.
Then, there are various applications and reports.
These things were naturally done by Li Changsheng.
After that, he had to review all the dozens of scripts in his mailbox as soon as possible and then send them to the directors and screenwriters.
Although, in the end they decided to return the review power to the review department.
However, everything has to go through a process.
People in the review department have no idea what to pay attention to when reviewing ghost films, and they also need to be trained.
So now, it's up to Li Changsheng and the others to resolve these scripts.
As for Lin Zheng, after discussing these matters, he immediately started to get busy.
Although "Mr. Zombie 2" is still being promoted, it has not even been released.
But he has already started to compile the script for "Mr. Zombie 3", as well as the storyboards.
Although, Lin Zheng was very sure that other directors would never shoot as fast as him.
However, his zombie movie series is finally scheduled to feature five films.
Faced with so much pressure, you still need to work a little harder after all.
As for the easy life of a billionaire director, we can only wait until all five movies are finished.
…
Wang Jin, Guo Si and other directors, as well as the screenwriters, were extremely happy.
This time, their demands were finally answered.
The ghost film review department, which had been silent until now, had processed almost all submitted scripts in just one day.
But when they saw the content of the reply, each of them couldn't help but widen their eyes.
There is no doubt that all of them have scripts and have been called back.
It must be modified again.
The modifications are undoubtedly all settings.
Although, everyone's script is different.
The things that need to be modified are also different.
But apart from those differences, everyone's replies had the same sentence.
"A joke is not nonsense, and an adaptation is not random fabrication. Directors and screenwriters, please follow the original logic and settings of zombie movies and ghost movies when creating zombie movies and ghost movies.
If you are unclear about the basic logical setting, I recommend watching the film directed by Lin Zheng, where everything is explained."
As for why it must be the same as the setting of Lin Zheng's movie.
Of course Li Changsheng also gave an explanation.
Directly take over the tactics used against Lin Zheng when Lin Zheng didn't know the truth.
all in all.
The subject matter of ghost movies is very sensitive. In order to prevent people from panicking, everything must be rational, rigorous, self-defeating, etc.
As for whether these directors and screenwriters believe it or not, and whether they can be convinced.
It was no longer within the scope of Li Changsheng's consideration.
Anyway, that's the rule.
If you abide by it, then abide by it well.
If you don't want to abide by it, then just stop filming.
After all, there is only one Lin Zheng.
There is no need for them to care about the moods of these directors and screenwriters.
And looking at the emails replied by the so-called "ghost film review team".
Especially looking at the sentence that started with "The play is not nonsense, the adaptation is not random fabrication", all the directors and screenwriters who submitted the manuscript were dumbfounded.
What does this mean?
Even well-known directors like Wang Jin and Guo Si can't understand it.
Not to mention some other relatively immature directors and screenwriters.
Immediately.
It had just been established two days ago, and the "Ghost Film Review Team Complaint Group" for all those who had submitted scripts to Li Changsheng became lively.
Someone took a screenshot of the paragraph above and directly sent it to the group, asking for advice humbly.
"Everyone, have you replied to your email? I have responded to mine, but the review team added this sentence to me. Can you help me see what it means?"
As soon as the screenshot came out, it immediately attracted a lot of attention in the group.
"I have this reply too!"
"Me too! They also said that my settings are not rigorous enough."
"I thought I was the only one who had it. Feelings... do everyone have them?"
"The question is, who can understand what this sentence means?"
"I seem to understand it, but... I don't quite understand it. I always feel that this ghost film review team is different from the previous reviews!"
"Is Director Wang here? Director Wang, what do you think? @王金"
…
Wang Jin was originally staring at the script he was sent back and the reply above.
With a confused look on his face, he guessed what the ghost movie review team meant.
Just like everyone else, he could understand the meaning of these words, but...he was a little afraid to understand them.
After receiving the group message reminder, I clicked in and took a look, only to find that everyone had received such a reply.
Immediately I became more confused.
"This doesn't look like an automatic reply..."
Wang Jin thought for a while, @all the members in the group, and sent a message: "Is there any friend who didn't receive this reply?"
At the same time, he also sent the sentence "The play is not nonsense, and the adaptation is not random fabrication".
Within a moment, a series of messages appeared.
"I received!"
"I received!"
"I also received!"
…
Wang Jin looked at the message carefully and found that even people he was familiar with, such as Guo Si, had received this reply, and no one was lucky enough.
Finally gave up all illusions.
He thought for a moment, then guessed and sent out a message: "You think, is it possible that this sentence has a purely literal meaning, just because... the official dislikes us for not following the trend hard enough?"
The group was silent for a while.
After a long time, Guo Si finally replied: "Anyway, from a literal point of view, it seems that it is indeed the case."
The group fell silent again.
Everyone has only one feeling, that is... incredible!
After making movies for so many years, they have seen and heard the most about following trends.
If you follow the trend too much, or plagiarize directly, you will be sued directly by the original author.
The literary and art review department has always paid great attention to these matters.
If a movie is too obviously a copycat, it will usually be rejected outright, and it is impossible to pass the review.
But today, this ghost film review team actually showed that they were not following the trend and were not ruthless enough.
Let them continue to work hard and increase their efforts?
Even, judging from the meaning of this sentence.
They are no longer encouraging them to follow the trend, but talking to them.
It is wrong to follow the trend.
You have to copy it directly!
Just copy Lin Zheng's movies, and the settings and backgrounds must be exactly the same as Lin Zheng's movies!
Otherwise, you are just talking nonsense and making things up.
What is this? Official guide plagiarism?
Wang Jin has been in the film and television industry for decades and has never seen such a strange request.
Is there anything more outrageous than this in the world?
