villain king

Chapter 72 Stop Spinning!
"What do you want to do? Make a soap opera?"

"That's definitely not possible!" Yu Min felt that what Ji Yun said was a bit embarrassing. How could he be such a great director to make those soap operas that are not nutritious?
It has to be said that he was a little flustered.

"The company is going to set up a project to remake "Journey to the West", I want to try it." There was a hint of longing in Yu Min's eyes.

If Jin Lao's drama is the gold medal IP, then the four masterpieces are the trump card IP!

To put it bluntly, if you shoot any one of the four great classics, it will be enough for you to earn money for a lifetime.

"I advise you not to try it." Ji Yun poured cold water on it at the right time.

There are several characters in the four classics that cannot be shaken at all, such as Teacher Zhang in Journey to the West, Sanjue in Three Kingdoms, Song Jiang in Water Margin, and a classic image in Dream of Red Mansions.

They have set a good benchmark, and future generations can only follow suit.

Take the role of Monkey King as an example. All the actors who auditioned for the role of Monkey King in this remake of Journey to the West followed Teacher Zhang's template, including the protagonist Wu Yue.

What happened to Teacher Six's reputation later on, but no one said anything about his acting skills.

He said: "You said you played Monkey King better than me, so come up and let's try!"

But the fact is that there is no one who can play better than him.

Taking Ji Yun's idol Mr. Bao Guoan as an example is the same. The heroic temperament between Gu Pan completely brought Cao Cao to life.So that some people commented that Yu Hewei's performance is the most similar, and Bao Guoan is Cao Cao himself.

Ji Yun felt very pertinent.

It is the long-cherished wish of these actors when they can leave such a strong mark in the history of film.

"The theme of this film is different, and the special effects have also improved."

Ji Yun sneered, "How can the special effects be improved? Are they at the level of Hollywood?"

If the special effects of "Avatar" can be filmed, even if the whole crew sleepwalks, Ji Yun is willing to take this muddy water.

Yu Min was speechless, how could the special effects of TV dramas be compared with the investment of movies.

"This film must be completely consistent with the original work, and it will definitely give the audience a different experience."

Ji Yun jokingly said: "The original Monkey King is four feet tall, are you going to find a child to play it? Just kidding."

Yu Min's face was already flushed red, Ji Yun resented him for being blatant, but he really couldn't refute it.

Everyone knows that the 86 version of Journey to the West is a classic, but TV dramas are almost like gambling, just in case.

"The 86 episodes were shot in 3 years for the 11 edition, and it took 6 years to meet the audience with 25 episodes. The quality of the film is directly proportional to the time investment. We are willing to polish it. The company can give us time to polish a good work. Come?"

If someone else said they wanted to direct Journey to the West, Ji Yun might wave the flag to cheer for them, and watch the excitement along the way.

But the person in front of him was different. In a sense, Yu Min was his bole, and he couldn't just watch him jump into the puddle.

In fact, the reputation of this show among the audience did not cause the whole Internet to be black, it was just a few words after dinner.

But from the perspective of the company, it is different. We entrust you with such a big IP. If you can't make a big hit, you will be a sinner through the ages.

Similar to Cao Cao's defeat and beheading of Wang Hou, the Wang family brothers can't use their own swords.

This is a thankless job, and whoever takes it will have to take the blame.

Yu Min, who had calmed down, had lost his enthusiasm. He slammed Ji Yun's words, and the more he heard it, the more he felt that this was the case. He sighed and said, "This is a fast-paced society that forces us to lose our ingenuity in this profession."

No wonder Huayi is now a fast-food assembly line company, which is in the wild stage of grabbing market share, and has not yet awakened the sense of mission of filmmakers.

Although the Wang family brothers grew up in similar environments, their layout was quite different.

If Wang Zhongjun took the lead in this matter, it would still be interesting.

But only a little.

The Condor's drama can't be called excellent, it can only be regarded as excellent.The story focuses on the display of emotional entanglements, and downplays the many branches that reflect the long road to the world and the end of the hero. Without the filling of these contradictions, the audience will naturally feel less sentimental and longing for the world while watching.

All in all, the rating of this drama will not be too high.

Several leading actors put their lives on the stage, and Liu Yiqian was even dragged into an ambulance several times, but it didn't help, and couldn't make up for the flaws in the rhythm of the plot.

But these days, I'm not afraid of being bad, but I'm afraid of comparisons. When Yu Ma's version comes out in two years, the ratings of this drama will naturally rebound.

Journey to the West is different. After the filming of this drama, the audience will read the 86 version even more, and no one will dare to remake it anymore.

Yu Min silenced the flag and the drum, and Ji Yun also achieved his goal.

Seeing that he listened in, Ji Yun's voice softened: "You just follow the steps and think about the transformation after the filming of "Xiu Chun Dao" is finished."

The dissuasion last time made Yu Min calm down for several days.

More importantly, Zhang Dazi came to the scene in person, so he didn't dare to jump up.

He also played a role in the play, Yeluqi's father Yelu Chucai, with a very wild image.

There are not many scenes, mainly to discuss the ending song with the crew.

The opening song fooled Yu Min, and the ending song couldn't look for Ji Yun anymore, so the company spent a lot of money to buy one.

As the lead actor, Ji Yun will also appear to sing.

But Ji Yun's voice couldn't afford the lead singer.

The real lead singer is Mr. Zhou Huajian from Xiangjiang.

It wasn't just him who came, but also Boss Hu who Ji Yun hadn't seen for a long time.

His voice is rough and bold, with a quack atmosphere, which can be regarded as a more colorful point.

More importantly, he is familiar with this group of people, so he doesn't need to pay a penny.

Bypassing a group of fanboys and girls, Hu Jun came up to Ji Yun who had just finished filming, and gave him a hug as soon as they met.

"The boy has grown stronger." He patted Ji Yun's shoulder, "He's a little tanned, and he's even more handsome."

"I can't keep up with you."

"Your acting skills have improved again."

"Hey, I've learned a lot." Ji Yun said modestly.

Hu Jun said: "How is it? Is there any pressure to play the leading role?"

Ji Yun sighed: "When I think of Boss Hu's Qiao Feng being so chic, I feel very stressed."

Hu Jun rubbed Ji Yun's hair, "You brat put a high hat on me when you come up."

Hu Jun's temperament changed again.

He seemed to be an approachable gangster in the Tianlong crew before, but now he looks like a high-ranking hero.

You can get a glimpse of the experiential school's approach from him.

Ever since Boss Hu played Qiao Feng, he has started the true fragrance mode. The costume drama is really refreshing and can completely escape the shackles of modern dramas. It is like a pose that has never been tried before. After the first experience, Boss Hu Just fell in love with this tune.

After Tianlong, he connected the two books of "Legend of Chu and Han Dynasty" and "Taste the Courage".

The overlord and the monarch have been played over and over again.

Ji Yun and Boss Hu exchanged pleasantries over there, and Zhang Dazi also expressed his intention to take Ji Yun to record songs.

Seeing that Big Beard Zhang, Hu Jun and Zhou Huajian came to lead the people together, Yu Min also gave Ji Yun the green light.

"Hurry up and record, I'll wait for you to take the picture when I come back!"

After saying a word, Ji Yun got into the car with a group of bigwigs and pointed directly at the recording studio.
