Chapter 450: "Unnatural Death" Completed

When Su Zhe was filming "The Wreath Under the Mountain", "Unnatural Death" was almost finished.

This Japanese drama only has 10 episodes, and there is no water filling or fooling around at all. It is so compact that it can be watched as a long movie.

This is also the idea of ​​many high-quality dramas. They make short TV series with the mentality of making movies to ensure that there is no boring point in the whole drama.

Unlike some long idol dramas, watching at 2x speed will make people distracted.

Even the domestic "Tang Detective" web drama is produced in this way, and the original film is only 12 episodes.

It's just that after Su Zhe changed the name to "Detective Lin Mo", he deleted the last ridiculous case, resulting in only 8 episodes, which is even more concise.

In contrast, "Unnatural Death" has 10 episodes in the original film, but Su Zhe deliberately added 1 episode and put it after the ending.

This extra episode 11 is like an easter egg, telling the story of the encounter between female forensic doctor Misumi Mikoto and Conan and Qin Feng, and vaguely revealing the purpose of Qin Feng's coming to Japan.

In "Detective Conan", this story is also told from Conan's perspective, and will be released before "Unnatural Death" is broadcast.

In other words, Su Zhe uses the already popular "Conan" to advertise "Unnatural", and then uses these two TV series to attract traffic to "Tang Detective 3" which is still writing the script.

This is the way to play big IPs-

Interlinking and attracting traffic to each other! What is "the first rich drive the later rich"? !

Therefore, Su Zhe must go to the crew of "Unnatural" and play Qin Feng in particular.

Qin Feng's current status in the Tang Detective universe is like Iron Man in the movie Avengers. He is undoubtedly the core figure, and he can't play at all without him.

- Shinichi is his hacker friend, Mikoto is his forensic friend, and Sherlock Holmes, who has not appeared yet, is his mentor and friend (the skills of the two memory palaces are the same).

Fortunately, he played Qin Feng himself, so he would not be manipulated by others, and he did not have to sacrifice himself like Iron Man because of his high salary.

But because of this, he had to overlap with other roles. It happened that the most important war scenes of "Wreath" had been filmed, and the remaining literary scenes could be filmed slowly. The task was not heavy, and he could take a leave.

So, Su Zhe flew to Japan overnight, arrived at the "Unnatural" crew, and started filming.

In addition to him, there are also child actors who play Conan and the actor who plays Maori Kogoro.

In "Tang Detective 2", Conan and Kogoro have already appeared as members of the detective team, and they have a lot of scenes.

The audience did not understand their strange lines and plots at first, until "Detective Conan" was launched, they suddenly realized and exclaimed that Su Zhe had hidden a thousand miles.

But when Su Zhe was filming, he certainly knew the importance of Conan, Maori Kogoro, Holmes and Watson. If possible, he did not want to change people and wanted to maintain the consistency of the actors.

So he spent a lot of time auditioning, going to Japan and the UK to cast, and didn't just use foreign actors to fill in the numbers.

Zhang Hongwei even said that Su Zhe spent more time on these roles than the important role, the murderer in the original film and the scapegoat James in Su Zhe's version.

So Su Zhe was very proud and thought that there was no need to recast, and he could directly use the actors of Conan and Kogoro.

But he soon found that there was nothing wrong with the actor of Kogoro, but there was a big problem with Conan's child star.

The little actor grew six or seven centimeters in a year, and quickly turned from a child into a young teenager.

This is the embarrassment of child actors, they change every day, and have to be recast.

Some dramas starring child actors were even aborted because the actors grew up.

So when the child star put on Conan's costume, Su Zhe was dumbfounded and said helplessly:

"Let's change the actor and recast."

Gong Man smiled and said:

"In fact, growing taller is also very realistic. Conan will grow up, right? According to the time node, he should be older than in "Detective Chinatown 2" at this time."

Su Zhe spread his hands:

"Don't talk about time and growing up with Conan."

"Huh?" Gong Man looked at him curiously and didn't understand.

Su Zhe explained casually:

"How many cartoons have you seen where children grow up before the ending?"

Conan's "eternal grade school student" has been ridiculed. In fact, it's not just him. All unit dramas that don't use the growth of the protagonist as a plot point are like this.

For example, Zhiye, as a veteran who has been fighting in the major leagues for 25 years, not only does his age remain unchanged, but he is even relegated every new season and participates as a rookie.

There are also Crayon Shin-chan, Nobita Nobi, Chibi Maruko-chan, Pleasant Goat and Beautiful Goat, etc., who always keep the appearance we first met.

From when we were carefree children to when we entered society and became tired and greasy middle-aged people, they still stayed in their childhood, always shouting energetically:

"There is only one truth!"

"It's you, Pikachu!"

"Look at the elephant~"

"Doraemon!"

"Feiyangyang, push it quickly..." (crossed out)

Hearing Su Zhe's explanation, Gong Man teased:

"If you serialize it for a long enough time, the children who play Conan can play Shinichi?"

Su Zhe shrugged:

"If he works hard enough, his son can play the new version of Conan."

Gong Man: ...

"So long? Do you have so many murders in your mind?"

Su Zhe shrugged and said calmly:

"Don't worry, I have it all in my head. I can write at least a thousand episodes."

When Gong Man heard his words, he couldn't help but take two steps away——

This is a guy who can write a thousand episodes of murder cases! Who dares to mess with him?

"What if Conan is always a primary school student, and what if he meets Mikoto and Qin Feng?"

Gong Man asked curiously, this is the contradiction between animation and live-action drama.

Su Zhe said:

"Then we won't get old, so we can keep filming."

Gong Man was stunned for a moment and immediately smiled:

"Well, keep filming."

After chatting for a long time, Su Zhe suddenly asked:

"I heard someone was harassing you?"

Gong Man's assistant reported to Mary Sue that a Japanese star named Kenji Sagara has been harassing Gong Man recently.

Su Zhe came to the crew also to support Gong Man:

"Don't worry, I'm here, don't be afraid. No one in the country dares to steal my artist, how can I let the little devil ruin it?"

Gong Man heard Su Zhe's words and wrote lightly:

"It's okay, I've solved it."

Su Zhe looked at her in surprise:

"How to solve it?"

Gong Man said slowly and calmly:

"He came to send flowers and insisted on inviting me to dinner and singing. I slapped him in front of everyone."

Su Zhe was shocked:

"Give him a slap?"

"That's right." Gong Man said calmly, "When I was a kid, I climbed trees all day long, and I also practiced martial arts to play Zhou Zhiruo, so my hands were very strong. When I was little, I was not as tall as me at 1.6 meters, and I was as thin as a stick. I knocked him unconscious with one slap."

Su Zhe was convinced:

"So you rely on force?"

"You also have the financial resources, right?" Gong Man tilted his head and recalled, "After the beating, someone blew up the thorns and asked me to apologize, otherwise it would affect the filming."

"I told them that if they didn't shoot, I would use my salary to change the crew to reshoot. Hey, the combined price of a bunch of people is not as high as my salary, why should I accommodate them?"

Gong Man said it calmly, but full of domineering.

Su Zhe couldn't help but give a thumbs up:

"Then they surrendered?"

"Why don't you accept it? The starring role, screenwriter, and funds are all ours. Why are you crazy about your little life?"

Hearing Gong Man's words, Su Zhe laughed loudly:

"Yes, just do it! We are here to expand the market, we are not kneeling down to ask for money, why should we be manipulated by them? If we change the TV station, "Unnatural" will still be popular! If there is no TV station, just switch to Netflix!"

Gong Man's attitude towards Su Zhe was not surprising at all.

She had known for a long time that Su Zhe would not bow his head, let alone let herself suffer.

She couldn't help but said:

"Although you have praised them, Japan and South Korea respect creators, and actors have a low status. When they see screenwriters and directors, they call them teachers. This is the atmosphere in which good works are born."

"But the status of actors is too low, anyone can bully them, and it's too extreme. A bunch of little girls are being taken advantage of all day long by a bunch of bald middle-aged men who have power over the TV station and the crew."

As an actor, Gong Man naturally has his own ideas, which are not exactly the same as those of Su Zhe, who is the screenwriter:

"The actors' interpretations are also very important. Film and television dramas are not novels. You can't just rely on the screenwriters, but you must also respect the actors."

Su Zhe did not argue with her. The Chinese entertainment industry did not disrespect actors, but respected them too much.

However, Su Zhe cannot stand the overly strict hierarchical system in Japan and South Korea, and resonates with Gong Man:

"The four olds have not been destroyed, and there are still feudal remnants. It is normal. Have they seen the style of a big star in China now?"

Gong Man laughed loudly:

"Style? I can't compare to my peers."

She is indeed lower profile than her peers in China;

But if those people came to Japan, they would not dare to take action like her.

There are some people who are used to bullying those inside and flattering outsiders, and they behave the same way in front of Chinese people. If they were Japanese people, how could they dare to be like Gong Man?

Su Zhe laughed loudly:

"Okay, our Mary Sue's first sister must have this style!"

Gong Man replied somewhat sarcastically:

"Sister Peipei is the first sister, right... No, she is the boss's wife."

Su Zhe:......

"Don't use your style on the boss."

When Su Zhe returned to the crew, he observed carefully and found that the Japanese crew members really stayed away from Gong Man.

In the face of this thorn, if it cannot be dealt with, the common practice in Japanese society is social isolation, commonly known as "isolation."

If you are a Japanese, facing the isolation of the whole society will be very painful, and even drive you crazy.

But Gong Man and Su Zhe are both Chinese, they talk and laugh and don't care.

The producer came to him and suggested that Gong Man was too rude. Su Zhe said directly:

"Her thoughts are my opinions. At worst, this drama will be changed to another TV station and re-filmed. Anyway, it's less than 10 million (not counting Gong Man's salary). I can afford to throw it away."

Gong Man blew bubble gum and looked at Su Zhe with a smile.

The producer also hinted that Su Zhe's actions would arouse the resentment of the Japanese entertainment industry and may ban Su Zhe and his Tang Tan Universe.

Su Zhe instead smiled and said:

"Okay, then Japanese celebrities will no longer come to China."

In fact, he was just bluffing.

Who has the ability to block a country except the will of the country?

If Japanese artists are banned collectively, it will definitely not be because of the promotion of Su Zhe or any company, but because of things such as the divine toilet.

But the other party couldn't block Su Zhe, and they were actually trying to scare each other.

And Su Zhe's threats were more believable. After all, his reputation as the "Godfather of the Chinese Entertainment Circle" had spread to neighboring countries, which sounded very intimidating.

Su Zhe was fearless, which made the producer completely lose his confidence and dared not say anything.

Even Kenji Sagara was frightened. He was taking advantage of the opportunity of East Asian cooperation under the arrangement of the company to enter the Chinese market, and he didn't want to lose the big picture for the small.

So, he came to the crew and bowed to Su Zhe to apologize:

"Susan, I just wanted to do my best to entertain Miss Gong Man and ask her about the hobbies of Chinese fans. I didn't expect Miss Gong Man to misunderstand."

Su Zhe smiled:

"It's okay to have a misunderstanding. By the way, I saw your name among the Japanese stars in "National Glory". Do a good job."

"Hi!"

The "misunderstanding" was resolved, and the second Conan was also selected.

"Unnatural Death", the extra 11th episode, started shooting!

A week later, the shooting was completed, and "Unnatural" was officially finished!

This drama was filmed and post-produced at the same time. After the filming was completed, half of it was completed, including the theme song, which had been selected.

But Su Zhe took a quick look and found that the crew members were all elite soldiers and generals, and there was no problem with the TV series itself.

But the theme song was too bad. After all, this was a TV series invested by foreigners, and no effort was made to invite songs.

In fact, for a TV series, the quality of the theme song is not important.

Unless it is a top-notch theme song, such as "Hero Song".

Otherwise, Su Zhe would not need to change it.

But the original theme song of "Unnatural Death" "Lemon" was of good quality and was widely sung, leaving a deep impression on Su Zhe.

Compared with the current theme song, it was really a clear difference, so Su Zhe couldn't bear it:

"Forget it, I'll write the theme song."

The Japanese side felt very strange, and their tone was full of disbelief:

"President Su wrote it himself?"

The Chinese side laughed directly:

"Haha, these little people don't know that President Su is a top musician in China!"

The Japanese actually knew, after all, these were all information on the Internet, they just didn't believe it:

There are musicians in China? Aren't they just copying our melodies and then writing lyrics?

So, someone from Japan reminded Su Zhe:

"Mr. Su, if you want to rewrite the lyrics, you must buy the copyright."

This sentence made all the Chinese personnel extremely angry and looked at Su Zhe.

Su Zhe scratched his head, but he was not angry. After all, it was the real situation...

Of course, it is a cross-dimensional thing, so the copyright fee is definitely not payable.

The Japanese side continued to persuade Su Zhe to quit:

"And Mr. Su, we will broadcast "Unnatural Death" next week. When can you finish writing the theme song?"

Su Zhe stretched out his fist:

"10..."

"Ten days? That won't work. It will take at most three days to be broadcast normally."

"9, 8, 7..."

Japanese side: ? ? ?

The eyes of all the Chinese people lit up:

I never realized before that Mr. Su was so handsome when pretending to be cool!
