The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 115 One less chance to pretend

The presence of the two protagonists was so strong that many people on the directing team were moved.

Forget it about Shen Zhenyi, her presence runs throughout. To a certain extent, it can be said that this is her movie, and there is no need to dig up her story.

But Ouyang Ke, according to the script plan, his role will not exceed twenty minutes - with such a strong appeal and such a short role, anyone would have to say "waste".

Naturally, during the break between filming, the assistant director Zhuang Geng, who had long been interested in him, and the Dunhuang screenwriting team leader He Xi, jointly approached Wang Wei.

"...We want to explore the potential of the character 'Hannibal' and even develop it into a series, or make a series of spin-offs around Hannibal."

Well, before the movie was released or even completed, they came up with a plan to make a sequel or a spin-off. Wang Wei should be happy.

——At least in their minds, the chance of success of "Silence of the Lambs" is far greater than the chance of failure. And the character of Hannibal is also classic enough to conquer most audiences.

After all, no one would consider taking the characters or subplots of a bad movie and independently developing them into a series or movie.

Wang Wei shrugged: "It's not that I haven't considered it..."

Wang Wei casually said that Zhuang Geng was fine, but He Xi, a veteran comic fan, had an idea.

And if you lose the perspective of immersing yourself in the story, you will naturally lose the sense of immersion, your characters will be more charming, and the appeal of the entire movie will be greatly reduced.

"???"

Wang Wei agreed to serve as the producer of this drama. Although it was not purely in name, he did not waste too much effort.

It is conservatively estimated that the drama version of "The Genius" can bring long-term revenue of 100 million yuan to Dunhuang, and it will also give Dunhuang a good start in the field of TV series.

Well, this can be regarded as the "pain" in happiness.

With the movie version as a reference, Wang Wei also gave a plot summary and also checked the editing. The drama version of "The Genius" did not fall into the curse of "a remake must be bad".

Wang Wei agreed with their confidence, but not so much with their plan.

"So you have a plan?" they asked impatiently.

Hannibal, and other villains like him, are certainly very charming, but I believe that not many viewers would consider themselves evil and step into his perspective.

He said excitedly: "Isn't it said that evil never defeats good? It is better to form a team of villains than to form a team of heroes. Well, it should be said to be a team of superheroes. When superheroes are gathered together, wouldn't the situation be more open?"

"Not entirely correct, but almost." Wang Wei nodded.

"Besides, there are already successful cases in Dunhuang." He Xi added.

Wang Wei smiled: "So I still have the same opinion. You can consider making a sequel or spin-off drama, but if you create a series with Hannibal as the protagonist, it will be too difficult and the prospects are hard to say."

Having said this, Zhuang Geng also understood the meaning.

He explained: "You guys were all fooled by Mr. Ouyang's exaggerated acting skills and the exaggerated charm of Hannibal he played. You forgot that he was actually an extremely evil character in the movie. .”

"Just like in many stories, some supporting characters are more popular than the protagonists, but we cannot simply think that there is no protagonist and only supporting characters are enough. In the final analysis, they are just supporting characters."

——Whe he said, it was the episode version of "Genius Gunner".

"The problem is here, it is impossible!"

Although there are always some people who say that "people are good" in the reality of weak meat and strong food, the core values ​​of Chinese civilization are always good.

There are already successful examples, the charm of "Hannibal" is even greater. Isn't it good to make a ticket to make a ticket while it is hot?

"Isn't his charm on evil? What's wrong with this?" Zhuang Geng still didn't understand.

Wang Wei was stunned.

"Hannibal" is like a different role in "early adopters". It is really necessary to be the main dish of the series. It cannot be said that there is no market at all in China, but there is absolutely no big market.

Isn't the original version of "Silent Lamb" series?

The first is a classic psychological suspense film, and the second is a thriller bloody film that can still be watched.

It was made into a big cake.

With the popularity of the movie, after the episode "Genius Gunners" was broadcast, a small fire was low, and the average ratings reached 8.8%.

Even more wonderful, the role linkage between the dramas and the complementary of the plot, so that when the movie fans buy DVD, it is often purchased by the movie version and the episode version.

Then, then

To put it plainly, this is a question from an audience into the perspective.

For a mini -series, this number is quite good.

"But from my perspective, it is not very significant."

This mini -series with only fifteen episodes, the character portraits are more delicate, the motivation turning is more reasonable, the story interpretation is more realistic, exposing the "unspeakable" of education, the focus is to create a sense of cheating and suspense of the movie version of the movie version.

Let the audience reluctant to move fast for a second.

Interestingly, because it is the first film and television work produced with the main co -produced with India, Pharaoh's headache how to lowered the profit of the drama version of "Genius Gunner" within the "reasonable" range.

Even if it is a real bad person, most of them like to substitute the protagonist who cannot be too biased.

Zhuang Geng's face was aggressive, just making a movie, what did you have to do with Zhengxie?

"I seem to understand the director's meaning." He Xi, the most familiar with the creation of the story, first reacted. "You mean, it is the protagonist of Hannibal alone, and you can't support the complete story plot?"

Wang Wei's stalling hand: "So I think, if you use Hannibal to expand the plot as the main line to create a series, it will become more and more unprepared."

Of course, the darkest ending has also caused a lot of controversy -the four protagonists in the drama version are gray. They look for anti -rules in the rules and embark on the way back.

The gunman reported and paid a painful price.

This is also the reason why the whole story has been expanded with the heroine in "Silent Lamb" -the perspective of the audience, but also played a series of stories, highlighting the role of Hannibal's charm.

"The so -called‘ consistent, with strange wins ’, making movies is also a reason. A movie always requires normal, or positive characters.”

Then I joked: "But there is no way to say that there are no ways. Goodness and badness depend on comparison. If a team of great wicked people is formed, the evil demon who makes Bihannibal is more evil.

"

——Although it is not "hot" yet, their confidence is obviously strong.

At least, these ratings have made the drama series a best-seller overseas. Dunhuang has made a lot of money just by selling the TV series copyrights.

Well, looking around the world, "evil prevails over good" is the mainstream. It can only be said that in China, this is particularly important.

But Wang Wei shook his head: "It's not impossible to connect the plot of "The Silence of the Lambs", develop some of the vague plots in this film, and make a sequel or spin-off drama."

There is another point that Wang Wei did not mention, and that is the cultural background.

Zhuang Geng didn't understand: "Why? Creating spin-off movies and spin-off dramas based on the background of the original work will have less investment risk, and it will promote each other and maximize profits. How can it be meaningless?"

Superheroes, movie universes, Marvel... At this moment, these concepts are emerging one after another.

He looked at He Xi who seemed to have opened a new door, and suddenly felt a touch of sadness——

I just said it casually, can you think of it?

Oh, there are only so few opportunities to pretend to beep!

…

Everyone has given more feedback, emmm... I can only say that it is difficult to agree with everyone. Let’s try to absorb the mainstream opinions. It is impossible to satisfy everyone. Please forgive me~
