I, pretended to be my brother at the beginning

"The starring role has been decided. I am very satisfied with you playing Ning Caichen, and I am also satisfied with Shen Yue playing Xiaoqian."

"The leading roles have been confirmed, but for the past two days I have been thinking about the plot of the new Chinese Ghost Story."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan was a little surprised and said, "You haven't figured out the plot yet."

Cheng Xiaodong shook his head and said.

"No, I've made up my mind. The plot I'm thinking of is not too different from the previous one, and the overall trend is still the same."

Xu Yuan was even more puzzled when he heard this, so he asked.

"Now that the plot has been decided, what are you thinking?"

Hearing this, Cheng Xiaodong sighed heavily.

"I lost faith in the plot I was thinking about."

"In the past two days, I've been putting the images of you two into the plot of A Chinese Ghost Story."

"I imagined a lot of results, and in the end I think, no matter how good your acting skills are, I think it will be difficult to go beyond the first play."

"Because the plot is the same, it's just that the characters have been changed. No matter how good the acting is, it's just following the same pattern."

"So, I'm wondering if my decision to make a new Chinese Ghost Story was wrong."

Xu Yuan couldn't help but fell into deep thought when he heard Cheng Xiaodong's words.

In fact, what Cheng Xiaodong said makes sense.

Xu Yuan said before that in order to go beyond, one must endow the characters with new things. This is only for the characters.

But to go beyond a classic play, it's not just about the characters.

It also depends on the excellent plot, scenery, background music, modeling, clothing, etc...

The sum of all these things needs to be transcended, so as to achieve the true transcendence.

In fact, Xu Yuan himself has also imagined, if Xu Yuan is allowed to play the same plot, can he surpass "brother"

Xu Yuan's answer is no, Xu Yuan may be able to achieve the greatest degree of harmony with his "brother"

Be consistent, but it's hard to beat.

First of all, the deep-rooted impression in everyone's heart is "brother".

That is... Ning Caichen, followed by "brother"

The character of Ning Caichen has already been defined in people's minds.

There is already a framework there, and there is very little that can be changed.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan also understood Cheng Xiaodong's mood.

Cheng Xiaodong is at odds with himself, since he wants to shoot new ones, it must be better than the previous ones.

But beyond that is so easy.

As a director, he knows how difficult it is, so he retreated a bit.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan also had a headache.

In fact, it didn't matter to Xu Yuan whether Cheng Xiaodong decided to shoot this scene or not.

But Xu Yuan wanted to solve this problem.

Because in fact, this problem is also bothering him.

Cheng Xiaodong tried to surpass himself, and Xu Yuan did the same.

He wants to break through "brother"

He thought that he could also have a masterpiece that could be called a classic.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan suddenly figured it out.

So he said to Cheng Xiaodong.

"Cheng Dao, why do you have to go beyond?"

Cheng Xiaodong shook his head when he heard this.

"It can't be surpassed, why should I shoot it?"

At this time, Xu Yuan smiled and said.

"Cheng Dao, you are stuck in these two words."

When Cheng Xiaodong heard what Xu Yuan said, he was a little puzzled.

"What's the meaning"

"Let me ask you a question first."

Cheng Xiaodong nodded, motioning for Xu Yuan to continue.

"Director Cheng, you actually want to make another classic, right?"

Cheng Xiaodong was stunned when he heard Xu Yuan's words, and then nodded.

"Yes, when I was filming this movie, I actually felt that I didn't learn enough, but this movie has become a classic."

"So, I want to use what I have learned now to make up for those... regrets before."

"Of course I want to shoot another classic that people can talk about."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan smiled with satisfaction, and then said.

"Isn't that enough, Director Cheng, your goal is to shoot another classic, not surpass it."

"As long as this new A Chinese Ghost Story is shot and everyone thinks it's a classic, then your goal will be achieved, won't you?"

When Cheng Xiaodong heard this, he asked with some vague understanding.

"It's not easy to make a classic. For the same plot, there must be only one classic."

At this time, Xu Yuan smiled and said.

"Then don't use the same plot."

Cheng Xiaodong couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard Xu Yuan's words.

If a different plot is used, is it still A Chinese Ghost Story? Isn't this equivalent to selling dog meat under the name of A Chinese Ghost Story?

Cheng Xiaodong was a little puzzled why Xu Yuan would say that, Xu Yuan's proposals were always good, but Cheng Xiaodong felt that Xu Yuan was messing around.

"How can this work? If the plot changes, it won't be a Chinese Ghost Story."

Seeing what Cheng Xiaodong said, Xu Yuan knew what Cheng Xiaodong was thinking.

So he smiled and said.

"Why is it not a Chinese Ghost Story after the plot has changed?"

Seeing what Xu Yuan said, Cheng Xiaodong felt more and more confused about what Xu Yuan was thinking.

So he finally couldn't help but said.

"Xu Yuan, don't try to fool me, what do you think, tell me directly."

When Xu Yuan heard Cheng Xiaodong's words, he also understood that Cheng Xiaodong really didn't understand what he meant, so he stopped beating around the bush and said it straight.

"I think A Chinese Ghost Story doesn't just have one story."

"Why do you have to follow the previous script?"

"This shooting can be shot across timelines."

"The previous timeline of A Chinese Ghost Story was that Ning Caichen met the female ghost Xiaoqian, so why can't this one film the timeline before Xiaoqian becomes a female ghost?"

"In this life, it was Ning Caichen who saved Xiaoqian, so how did Xiaoqian die? I didn't explain it in detail in the previous story."

"Then in the previous life, could Xiaoqian die because of saving Ning Caichen?"

Xu Yuan expressed all his thoughts at once.

Cheng Xiaodong was stunned for a long time after hearing this.

Then he patted himself on the forehead suddenly, and said loudly.

"Why didn't I think of this place!"

"It seems that my thinking is too limited! Your thinking is very good!"

After Xu Yuan's suggestion, Cheng Xiaodong quickly figured out the reason.

A Chinese Ghost Story does not need to be filmed in one timeline, it can capture the concept of several lives.

With the classic movie of A Chinese Ghost Story as a foreshadowing, and then filming the cause and effect that happened in another timeline, so that the audience will have a more sense of substitution.

In this way, people will not compare the two films, because the two films are filmed with different content.

In this way, everyone will not lose their sense of expectation because of the consistency with the previous plot, and it can bring everyone a sense of freshness.

Let everyone feel the different Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xiaodong regained his confidence as soon as he reversed his downturn.

He excitedly took Xu Yuan's hand,

"Thank you Xu Yuan, really thank you!"

"You helped me break through the bottleneck!"

"I am confident that this drama will definitely be famous in history!"

Seeing Cheng Xiaodong's excited expression, Xu Yuan thought Cheng Xiaodong understood, so he smiled and said.

"Well, let's work hard together."

Cheng Xiaodong nodded, thought about it casually, and said with some embarrassment.
