Chapter 68: A Classic Costume Sitcom
If Yin Jun is ranked as a sitcom in China, "Wulin Gaiden" is definitely the top three. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The first is because of its genre, this kind of costume sitcom TV series, only this one is popular, which is very representative.
And then because it is suitable for all ages, children can see funny, young people can smile, and middle-aged people can also understand some truths hidden in life.
This is also the pinnacle of the screenwriter's work, except for this, his entire talent has been exhausted, and there will be some livelihood skills left in the future.
But it is undeniable that "Wulin Gaiden" is really a very good TV series.
The people of Xiangjiang have a soft spot for ancient dramas.
As long as Yin Jun deletes some words and jokes that are too advanced in the future, retains some interesting and novel things, and adds some jokes that are in line with the life of Xiangjiang people in this era, then such a good film will definitely resonate with Xiangjiang people.
The popularity of "Wulin Gaiden" is not only because it makes people laugh, but also because it actually contains many things that people can remember after laughing.
To put it simply, the discussion of housing prices, profiteers, and the imperial court in "Wulin Gaiden" is ...... And so on, these are very interesting, very attentive, as long as you taste carefully, you can feel the deep meaning that the screenwriter wants to express.
Yin Jun has always believed that as long as you do it with your heart, then you can definitely do it well.
Xiangjiang movies and even Xiangjiang TV series are because of too many perfunctory things and inexplicable productions, so they finally fell to the point of decay.
Not to mention the Xiangjiang movies that have almost ended since the 2000s, it is the TV series of Xiangjiang, and after 2010, they are almost the only ones watching it, and they can no longer reach the situation of thousands of empty alleys in the eighties and nineties.
Isn't that why they didn't bother to polish every link?
Whether it is the script, costumes and props, the emotional investment of the actors, the shooting skills, the budget preparation, etc., it is an attitude that can be passed, how can this make good things?
Just envy Cameron's record-breaking box office is as simple as eating, have you ever seen Cameron spend years of painstaking effort on a movie? Have you ever seen him drive the actors and crew to a dead end, but never leave a way back for himself?
Without these necessary factors, can he become the world's number one commercial director?
Obviously impossible!
Without Cameron's exhaustion, could there be classics such as "Titanic", "True Lies", "Terminator", "Avatar" and so on?
Apparently impossible!
Therefore, when Yin Jun returned to Xiangjiang in 78, he made up his mind that he must reverse this situation and do his best to bring Xiangjiang movies and TV series to a new road.
Even if he can't influence others, he himself must unswervingly go on, stick to the right path, and not follow the crowd, although it will be very hard, but this is his responsibility!
"Bao Qingtian" is just an experiment, it was made by someone else, and Yin Jun has no way to control it more.
But he has long had an idea and wants to try to make a TV series by himself as the beginning of his career in the entertainment industry.
Wei Xiaofan said before that Yin Jun still has what he has to do first, and that's it.
Originally, Yin Jun was still hesitating, whether to wait until next month to buy stocks and make money before controlling a TV series by himself, or to make a TV series to test the waters first, but now this situation has forced him to have no second choice.
He decided to take out "Wulin Gaiden...... Shoot yourself.
Xiangjiang now does not have a mode of operation that separates production and broadcasting, and all major TV stations shoot their own TV dramas to meet the needs of broadcasting, but they will also buy more or less TV dramas or programs from other cities to broadcast.
It is precisely because there is such a precedent that if Yin Jun shoots "Wulin Gaiden" by himself, and then packages and sells it to Jiashi, Wireless or Li, it will have complete room for operation.
"Wulin Gaiden" Yin Jun found some actors to shoot and control the cost by himself, at most 5,000 per episode, and now the TV series produced by the three major TV stations are generally more than 10,000, and they will not buy cheap TV series at a low price, they all like good works.
If "Wulin Gaiden" is filmed well, it can be added to at least 20,000 episodes in the end, which is still basic.
If it can have 60% of the effect of "Bao Qingtian", 30,000 episodes will not be able to run away, and if the ratings exceed 40%, the TV station will be willing to give 50,000 episodes.
According to the calculation of a slightly more moderate 30,000 episodes, even if Yin Jun only shoots 30 episodes, and there is no time to shoot the rest, there can be a huge amount of 900,000 yuan, plus the follow-up script or something, 1 million is not too difficult.
And as long as there is this 1 million, Yin Jun will be much more comfortable in the future, and Aunt Zhang's treatment and recuperation fees will be settled.
The important reason why Yin Jun is reluctant to make a movie first is that in addition to what I said before, it is also because he doesn't know people in the film industry and doesn't know how to operate a movie, including gathering personnel, planning the crew, arranging the release, etc., these are not things you can do if you want to think about it, you have to have connections and someone who is willing to take you.
TV series are different.
After such a month or two of hard work, Yin Jun is already familiar with the TV industry.
Whether it is the actors of Jiashi or the team behind the scenes, Yin Jun is very familiar with it.
If he wants to produce a TV series, he can find someone to borrow from Jiashi, whether it is an actor or a behind-the-scenes person, as long as he is not the first or second line of Jiashi, I believe that Liang Shuyi will definitely give face.
There is another point, it is difficult to say in the film industry, but in the TV industry, through the super popularity of "Bao Qingtian", even if Jiashi doesn't want to buy "Wulin Gaiden" in the end, Yin Jun can find a way to sell it to wireless or Li, with the quality of "Wulin Gaiden", it will definitely bring Yin Jun a good reward.
As for the location of the shooting, it is even simpler.
In Qiu Degen's Song City, there were more ancient houses similar to such a small inn, and Yin Juncai did him a great favor and rented a small restaurant, which was no problem at all.
After carefully calculating it, with so many favorable times and places, Yin Jun suddenly came to his senses, got up from the sofa, quickly entered the room and opened the safe, found the notebook with the main content of "Wulin Gaiden", and then took a new notebook again, and began to write the first draft of "Wulin Gaiden".
"The first time, the location, a certain area in Guanzhong, in the town of Seven Heroes, Tongfu Inn. ”
"In the middle of the night, there was a loud noise from the Tongfu Inn......"
“……”
I don't know if it's the reason for the full sense of crisis, Yin Jun's memory of the details of the content of "Wulin Gaiden" is as clear as when he just returned to Xiangjiang in 78.
Fortunately, he watched "Wulin Gaiden" back and forth several times when he was studying, and he also carefully figured it out after work, so he is very familiar with the plot structure here.
As if with divine help, the first draft was completed in just one hour.
Although it is only an approximate content, it looks like a book from heaven to outsiders, but this is the main context of the whole first chapter.
As long as you wait until later, you can integrate it, polish and organize it, and it can become a very complete single-episode script.
Taking advantage of the good state, throughout the afternoon and evening, Yin Jun lay on the table except for going to the toilet and eating a takeaway box lunch, and quickly wrote out the plot that burst out of his mind.
Of course, to say that Yin Jun's writing is 100% the same as the original, it is absolutely bragging, impossible.
Even the chapter hui story written by Yin Jun is not necessarily consistent with the original.
In addition to the first few episodes being more secure, maybe the later ones will start to be crowned and Li Dai, and the eighth chapter will be written as the fifth chapter, and the twenty-first chapter will be written as the seventh chapter...... Wait a minute.
That's what Yin Jun did when he was writing the main content memory.
Anyway, except for a limited number of episodes that need to pay attention to the sequence, the rest of the reverse order is not a problem at all, and it does not affect the feeling of watching at all.
There is also a description of details, such as Lao Bai's speaking actions, Tong Xiangyu's bitterness, the honesty and honesty of the big mouth, and Mo Xiaobei's small ghosts...... and so on, Yin Jun has his own understanding, it can be said to be a modification, or it can be said that he wrote the expressions of these characters in his own mind, which is not necessarily like the original.
This is not to say that it is okay, after the first draft is written, Yin Jun has to slowly revise it, according to some habits of Xiangjiang people, as well as the life experience of Xiangjiang people in the past two years, to write some more appropriate bridges.
Fortunately, the real estate industry in Xiangjiang has been heating up in the past two years, and some bridges can be used universally.
Unconsciously, Yin Jun kept writing the script, and when he looked up, he found that it was already dawn.
Look at the time again, it's already six o'clock in the morning!
Except for when Yin Jun took a nap for more than two hours at nine o'clock, he actually wrote a script for 13 hours, writing a total of 11 episodes.
It's only the first draft, but it's a great achievement.
Reluctantly called and ordered takeout, took a shower after eating, and then collapsed on the couch, in less than ten minutes, Yin Jun fell asleep.
By the time he woke up, it was 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
It's good to be young, stay up late like this, sleep for a few hours, and you'll be alive again!
Yin Jun went to wash up, first sat on the table and transcribed two episodes of scripts, wrote two more things, and then made a few more phone calls, then changed his clothes and went out.
