1979 Golden Age

Chen Qi sorted out the work at hand:

First, the script of the comic book "Lushan Love", which is the easiest and can be done in one day; then the script of a TV series; then there is a new script for the movie, and the follow-up task of "Tai Chi".

He decided to finish the TV series first.

There are very few themes for domestic TV series now, and people don't know where they will violate taboos, so they can do it safely. What is safe? Revolutionary themes are the safest, followed by famous works, scar themes, realistic petty bourgeois themes, and classical novels themes.

Chen Qi thought about revolution, and then rejected it. His mind was full of classic dramas of later generations. And those "revolutionary dramas" of later generations are "counter-revolutionary" now.

You know, the old revolutionaries who went to the battlefield and engaged in spy wars are still alive and in high positions.

You really made the officers of the Eighth Route Army look like bandits, the Kuomintang spies are all affectionate and righteous, and our party intelligence personnel struggle with human nature, and they fall in love while doing revolution... They are in a hurry to be shot!

Ideological emancipation is not achieved overnight, and the times are different.

The classics are omitted directly, and he doesn't want to write about the scars. What about the real petty citizens... eh? Chen Qi's eyes lit up. Let's make a "Love in the Courtyard" and let Zhu Lin play Qin Huairu. Wouldn't the fan fiction of later generations explode? !

Tsk tsk!

He suppressed his imagination and made a big stroke, and drew the last classical romance.

The Biography of Yue Fei, the Generals of the Yang Family, the Generals of the Hu Family, and the Cases of Judge Di were also released relatively early, because they spread loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, being honest officials, punishing evil and eliminating evil, and the theme is correct.

"What to write?"

"He asked me to write a level three, so I wrote a level three. Am I such an obedient person?"

Chen Qi thought for a while, and his mind was like a spring, and his inspiration was like diabetic diabetic, and he started writing quickly.

"Judge Bao"!

...

Chen Qi wanted to write a unit drama, a big case is a unit, and the plot is relatively independent.

The production conditions of TV series in this era are poor, and it is indeed impossible to shoot too long. He planned to write six episodes. The first case is of course the famous case of the beheading of Mei! The case of the beheading of Mei has been circulating for a long time. In order to make Wang Fulin willing to take the manuscript fee, he added some things to it.

TV series in this era are different from those in later generations. The degree of enrichment and rhythm are definitely better.

"Journey to the West" felt so long when I was a child, and I could never finish it. Later I found that it was only 25 episodes. For example, the 8th episode "Three Difficulties on the Road" tells three things in one episode: fighting the Yellow Wind Monster, collecting Sha Seng, and several Bodhisattvas teasing Zhu Bajie... If it were now, it would take 20 episodes!

So in these six episodes of "Justice Bao", Chen Qi could put a lot of content.

He wrote very smoothly, basically one episode every three days, and it was done in more than ten days. When he contacted Wang Fulin, he was shocked and hurried to the guesthouse again.

"Judge Bao?"

Wang Fulin looked at the subject and didn't comment. Then he looked at the beginning: "Qin Xianglian?"

He frowned. How could this young man get free royalties from classical novels? The case of Qin Xianglian's beheading of the beautiful woman is sung in operas. Who doesn't know it? ?

But he didn't say anything and continued to watch without saying a word.

Qin Xianglian brought her two children to Beijing to find her husband. Chen Shimei had already become a son-in-law and didn't recognize them. Qin Xianglian heard that Bao Zheng was impartial, so she went to file a complaint and listed Chen Shimei's five major crimes.

Bao Zheng confirmed her identity and said that if the evidence was conclusive, Chen Shimei would be beheaded in the end.

But she just wanted to get her husband back and didn't want him to die, so she didn't file a complaint and settled down in a nearby town with her two children. Coincidentally, a strange case happened in this town, and Kaifeng Prefecture was responsible for it.

This case was picked up by Chen Qi from "Young Justice Bao", the mystery of the mummy in Yinyi Village - the childhood shadow of many friends.

The general meaning is: there are six corpses, and a part of each corpse is cut off and pieced together to form the seventh corpse, making people mistakenly believe that seven people died... This technique comes from the Japanese anime "The Case Files of Young Kindaichi".

"Young Justice Bao" is also copied.

Chen Qi moved this content here as a small case among the big cases to show that Bao Zheng is as good as a god in solving cases. Otherwise, if he only killed Chen Shimei, it can only be said that he is upright and fearless of power, but there is no wisdom.

This grandson only gave Wang Fulin three episodes of the script.

Wang Dao was in high spirits. He just saw Bao Zheng solve the mystery of the mummy and was about to reveal the secret, but it was gone!

Oops!

Director Wang, 49, was about to have a heart attack, and asked anxiously, "What's next?" "No more!"

"How can there be no more?"

"There are only so many scripts for three episodes, so we'll write whatever we want!"

"You, this, this won't work!"

Wang Fulin thought for a moment and realized what was going on, saying helplessly, "As long as the story is good, we can definitely discuss it, but you can't stop! Take it out first, let me see."

"..."

Chen Qi pouted and took out three more episodes like a grandson.

Wang Fulin was like reading an online article and saw the climax, which suddenly stopped and then suddenly connected again. It was full of ups and downs. He waited to see how Bao Zheng would reveal the secret and how the six bodies would become seven. He couldn't help but applaud.

"Great! Great!"

He kept clapping his hands on the table and praised, "I said we should find young people. They are really different from us old guys. How did you come up with this?"

After solving the case, Chen Shimei sent someone to the town to kill Qin Xianglian, but was rescued by Zhan Zhao, and Bao Zheng took him back to Kaifeng Prefecture. Seeing her husband so cruel that he even wanted to kill their child, Qin Xianglian decided to continue to sue.

Following the princess, all kinds of vicious female second characters jumped out, but Chen Shimei was still detained in the lobby.

The princess invited the queen mother out, and the queen mother personally told Qin Xianglian that Qin Xianglian had to give in. But the princess went too far and did not allow the other party's child to have the surname Chen, which angered Bao Zheng, who insisted on beheading Chen Shimei.

What is the climax of "Justice Bao"?

It is when all the powerful people tried their best to obstruct, Bao Zheng took off his black gauze hat, took out the imperial sword, and roared: "Open - behead -!"

"Good!"

Wang Fulin jumped up again, it was so cool to watch.

But after the fun, he hesitated again and said, "Xiao Chen, is this writing too entertaining?"

"If you are asked to film Bao Zheng yourself, how would you film it?"

"Of course, collect information and try to be realistic. There are many records about Bao Zheng in ancient times."

"If you film it based on historical materials, then I have nothing to say. If you go to find "Bao Gong'an" and "Three Heroes and Five Gallants", they are originally popular novels. In other words, they are actually entertainment novels.

You film it based on entertainment novels, and then you want to be realistic? Isn't this contradictory?"

Chen Qi paused and said, "I think realism can be put on costumes, props and scenes. There is no need to put it into the theme. It is originally a popular work."

"..."

Wang Fulin pondered for a moment and said, "I want this script. We want it whether it is filmed or not. I will go back and discuss it with the station and tell you after I make a decision."

"That's good."

Chen Qi sent Wang Fulin away, stretched his waist hard, and got 600 yuan!

TV series have little influence now. The Golden Eagle Award has not been established yet, and there is only the Feitian Award. It took until the mid-1980s for it to gain popularity and became popular all over the country in the early 1990s, because there were more TV sets at that time.

At that time, the film industry was declining, and the contrast was very clear. Movie stars began to be inferior to TV stars.

Then there was the story of the coal boss...

Chen Qi was not very interested in TV series at this stage. He just wanted to earn some royalties. He didn't want Gong Xue to shoot it, because it would be a loss of status.

"He Qing, Tao Huimin, He Saifei can all try, and Gong Xue's sister Gong Ying, her sister later became an actress..."

Chen Qi touched his chin and suddenly frowned: Damn, her sister seems to be older than me!
