crush the rich

In fact, when I first heard the invitation, I was quite moved, but when I saw the subject matter of the script, my interest obviously faded a lot. After I read the beginning of the script, the attitude of rejection became quite obvious.

For the sake of politeness, Yin Lian's subordinates talked to people one by one according to the list of inclinations given by Yin Lian. Only when the previous one refused, would they find the next one.

But the situation was more difficult than she imagined.

Some people directly showed a rejection attitude when they heard the subject matter. Some people flipped through the script intentionally, and even couldn’t wait to finish it. Most of them didn’t really read it. They probably felt that they had given enough face, so they politely refused. .It is rare that there is an old director who is very interested in this subject. After reading more than half of the script, the more he read it, the more angry he became. Lectures, and finally drove people out.

The secretary can be said to be quite inexplicable.

This script by Yin Lian is indeed a play. The plot itself is very different from the original except for the main story, and even the sense of the times has become very modern, but its core is quite moving, and the quality of the whole story is also high. Surprisingly, there is really no reason to be discriminated against by a group of directors.

It can only be said that many people have preconceived prejudices from the beginning.

The most annoying thing is that director Sheng Liang, as a well-known Red Chamber fan, not only is unwilling to understand the core of this drama, but also openly contributed to a media, scolding Yin Lian thousands of words sarcastically, which aroused the attention of many people .

In this article, Director Sheng used extremely harsh words and a very harsh attitude, accusing and scolding some "young people" for their overreaching, insulting famous works, thinking that anything can be made into an idol drama, and even directly expressed that I recently read a script of the Red Chamber handed over by a "popular rookie". In it, the Red Chamber was distorted and rewritten. The character has nothing to do with the original except for the name, but the name of the Red Chamber... Although I didn't name the name, it pointed to Sex is already obvious.

But the audience did not guess that it was Yin Lian. After all, all the works that Yin Lian prepared have basically become a guarantee of quality. Everyone may have higher trust in her than some well-known directors and producers.Moreover, although Sheng Liang is quite famous, but because he is not the kind of gossip person who is highly discussed, in fact, the public pays little attention to him... If he directly exposes Yin Lian's name, the situation may be very serious. different.

But Yin Lian was still very angry when she saw this article. She felt that the old man was inexplicable, and she wanted to write an article to scold him directly. But now many people are paying attention to the issue of platform ultra vires, and she herself pays a lot of attention , if they openly fight, it will definitely attract part of the public's attention, so she held back, but not completely.

She went directly into the group and got into a pinch with Director Sheng.

Yes, they are actually in a group.

The reason why Yin Lian didn't ask about the script in the group is because she considered the prudence of the approach, and although she had communicated with these directors, the relationship was not close, and there was an age difference, so she acted too casually. It may come across as disrespectful.

But when the other party was already looking for trouble first, Yin Lian didn't bother to worry about such etiquette issues, so she went directly into the group @ Sheng Liang and asked, "What does Director Sheng mean?"

Sheng Liang replied after a while: "Isn't it clear enough what I mean? What kind of mess did you change!? Is that the Red Chamber!? That's an idol drama!"

That is, after the two got together, many people in the group knew that Sheng Liang's article was aimed at Yin Lian.

Most people were a little surprised by this, and some people asked a little bit puzzled: "Is Xiao Yin's script bad this time?"

As a result, both sides of the quarrel answered almost at the same time.

Yin Lian: "I specially asked my teacher to adapt it. It is absolutely top-notch."

Sheng Liang: "No nutritious idol drama!"

The two sides insisted on their own opinions, and what they said completely contradicted each other, which made it difficult for many people to understand the situation and make a judgment.

But everyone knows the level of Yin Lian's screenwriters, and feels that even if she really produces idol dramas, the quality of the scripts must be above the standard, and Sheng Liang has always had a lot of dissatisfaction and resentment towards some popular themes, so prejudice is also inevitable. Not surprisingly.

So everyone talked to persuade Sheng Liang, saying: "The quality of the script depends on its own quality, and the subject matter should not be defined."

"The level of Xiao Yin's screenwriters is so high, the things you are worried about will not happen."

"You said how old you are, why do you still care about a child?"

Although everyone's words may not necessarily agree with Yin Lian, but on the whole they are still trying to reconcile the atmosphere. Yin Lian is very sensible and took the opportunity to be good-looking and said: "Thank you uncles, uncles, sisters and aunts." He also put a Q version of Tiantian's grievance emoji.

She is usually called by a certain editor or director, and she rarely has such a personal address, and she rarely uses expressions. At this time, she has learned to be cute and closer, and many people are immediately happy, even Sheng Liang looked at her. In this scene, I couldn't blow my beard and stare anymore, but I felt a little depressed in my heart.

At this moment, a director appeared and said, "The quality of Yin Lian's script is quite high, and most idol dramas are simply not comparable."

Everyone was surprised: "You have been found too?"

The other party said: "As far as I know, I have already found many people, but the subject matter is not easy to shoot. There are not many people who are good at this in China, and there is a story template of the Red Chamber embedded. The title will also be considered twice."

When Sheng Liang saw this sentence, he immediately became angry, and said: "What a classic the Red Mansion is, this script is all about the name of the Red Mansion! If it wasn't for the name of the Red Mansion, do you think it can be seen by people!?"

The junior director was speechless.

He thought to himself, it is because of fans like you that everyone will stay away from seeing the theme of Red Mansions.

The name of the Red Chamber is indeed big, but there are very few film and television drama versions.It’s one thing to be a classic before, but Journey to the West is also a classic. There are various fan versions. Is the Red Mansion not as good as Journey to the West?

That's not true. If you look at the fandom, there are more fans in Red Mansion than in Journey to the West.There are social reasons for the lack of filming of film and television dramas. If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be Qi Dafei,

To put it bluntly, as a top IP in history, Red House has a lot of fanatical fans.Although it is also worthy of this kind of treatment in essence, the attitude of fans is only related to the character and concept of fans, and the relationship with the original work is very limited, especially a work whose author has been dead for hundreds of years.

Generally speaking, for a work that has been created for a long time and is familiar to everyone, if it wants to maintain its vitality and public recognition, it mainly relies on secondary creation.

The film and television dramas of the Red Chamber basically follow the original works honestly, even those unacclaimed versions, most of them just follow the original works but "not expressive enough", rather than adaptations.As I said before, it’s not that the masses have no desire to change, so why is there no adaptation?

The reason is very simple to say - do you think you can adapt it better than the original work of the Red Chamber?

Just one question like this can persuade a lot of people to leave.

But in fact this is not the case. Whether it is good or not is often a subjective concept. In fact, many ideas in the Red Chamber are very close to modern times, but far beyond some of their own times. However, as a work of hundreds of years, Mr. Cao No matter how transparent it is, it cannot grasp the form of expression hundreds of years later.

Therefore, the form of "Dream of Red Mansions" is indeed a bit too classical.Although there are still many readers or viewers who are willing to cater to it for its wonderful core, not everyone is willing to do so and can benefit from it.

If someone said that, Sheng Liang might have to ask: "Isn't the Dream of the Red Chamber worthy of your efforts to cater to it!?"

Of course it deserves it, but it's not necessary, and it also seems useless to a large group of modern literary and artistic creators.After all, literary and artistic creation, especially modern literary and artistic re-creation, if they cannot express the classic culture in Chinese history to more people in a way that takes into account modern thinking and audience understanding, they may not be too useless .

Therefore, Director Sheng is not willing to read this kind of script carefully, so he is directly prejudiced, wishing to put the Red Mansion on the altar and seal it up directly, which is very undesirable.

Yin Lian immediately pinched him.

"Why don't you ask how many people still watch the original version!?"

"I also like the Red Mansion, but I don't think it can't be adapted! It's too old, if you don't reborn once, you won't have life. And the most important thing about the Red Mansion is not its plot background, but the thoughts expressed through these plots As for emotions, I can say with certainty that this adaptation expresses a lot of the core of the Red Mansion, on the contrary, do you think the audience can receive these thoughts and feelings when the original work is filmed now!!??”

Sheng Liang didn't expect Yin Lian to be so shameless, and he was so angry that he was half dead: "Little girl, you don't know the heights of the sky and the earth! You have studied for several years, and you dare to say that you can show the core of the Red Chamber! Who do you think you are!"

The two sides clashed immediately.

After pinching on and off all afternoon, the scene got bigger and bigger.At first, Sheng Liang and Yin Lian took time out of work to debate. Later, other editors and directors may have some thoughts on this topic, so they couldn’t help but intervene to express their opinions. It is supplemented by cuteness, and it is generally maintained in the scope of friendly discussions. Director Sheng may be getting older and his personality is becoming more stubborn (but his temper was not good when he was young), and he basically hates who he sees. Fortunately, he is a big The director himself is of high quality, even if he attacks personally, he just stays at ridicule and belittling without profanity. Some people think he is old and famous, so they don’t care about him, and some people have the same qualifications as him, so they don’t want to Enduring him, he pinched him directly.

Yin Lian withdrew halfway through the pinch, because someone in the group asked her about the script, Yin Lian politely rejected several directors whose style was not suitable, and then quickly created a small group for the two directors on her list , and then sent out half of the script.

Although Yin Lian felt that it would be more solemn to ask the person in charge to invite her in person, but she had shown interest on her own initiative, and she would not insist on going this way, which was too hypocritical and inefficient.

After reading the script, the last two directors expressed their strong interest in this work.In fact, when they first saw the introduction of this theme, they didn't think that this script would be their field of interest, but because the group was fiercely pinched, and there were several directors who had read the script, they revealed a few scratches. It seemed quite interesting, so it caught their attention.

But even so, the two were still surprised when they saw the script itself.Because this work is so far from the imaginary story of the Red Mansion. First of all, it is the background of the times. Although it is still the background of the imperial system in name, in fact, this "imperial system" is full of modern atmosphere. The scenes have all changed to confiscating assets and sending them to labor camps instead of selling them... In addition, the usury and the reckless disregard of human life have all been changed to modern versions.

In the face of Jia Yucun and Xue's family who bribed public opinion to suppress the victims, what else could the two directors do besides being experts in Zhihu?

However, it is precisely because there are too many humanities and worldly situations mixed in, that the two directors realized that Yin Lian's so-called preservation of the core spirit of respect is not just someone's talk.Everyone in this story has maintained some of the original character cores under modern circumstances, and many modern changes are both interesting and full of deep meaning.The most prominent among them is undoubtedly "Jia Baoyu". For a long time, because of different concepts, this character often has a completely different low evaluation from the original book itself in the eyes of young people, especially young women.

This kind of evaluation cannot be said to be wrong, but it is not objective at all.Take the moral model requirements that modern people can't meet, and ask a person in a flesh and blood story. The comparison object is the standard paper person who also only exists in the story, the ideal romantic hero.As for Jia Baoyu, in the background of his own story, he is actually reasonable, and his moral standard is indeed higher than his own life background.

Perhaps because the evaluation gap is too large, Heihuai Zhu and Yin Lian reshaped Jia Baoyu in all aspects in the script.Although the other main characters have undergone some modern reshaping to some extent, in comparison, as the protagonist, Jia Baoyu's character concept has been rewritten the most by the times.

How big is it?

So much so that the two directors believed that after the film was released, most of the image of Jia Baoyu left in the minds of many viewers was only in the play and not in the original work.Maybe in the future, some readers who have entered the pit with this film will probably regard Jia Baoyu in this play as the Jia Baoyu in their hearts.

Apparently, Miss Yin Lian never did her homework of "passing" when she made a move.
