Chapter 454 Friendly Chinese Home
Why did Su Zhe have time at night to write the scripts for "Conan", "Dark One" and "The Signal" (Korean drama)?
Because the main characters in "Garland" are all male, the crew can be called a monk's temple.
The rare young female characters are the daughters-in-law of Liang Sanxi and Jin Kailai. Their requirements are relatively simple, and they are not suitable for beautiful female stars to play.
This resulted in the "common man" Su Zhe having to be abstinent and focus on acting besides copying scripts.
The role of Zhao Mengsheng is the most complex in "Garland". His early performance is really dandy, especially against the backdrop of the cannonball Jin Kailai, which makes him look even more low-quality.
How to act without being annoying, and even make the audience forgive him and like him after the change in the later period, is not an easy task.
This is a great test of acting skills and the charm of the actor himself.
For example, Chen Baoguo, it is normal for people to be heartbroken when he plays Han Wu. Characters such as Emperor Qin and Han Wu bring top-notch charm; but it is extraordinary for him to play Jiajing and make people like him.
Su Zhe studied for a long time and gradually grasped the essence——
nature.
Zhao Mengsheng is not a born bad person. His playfulness comes from the protection of his family, and his behavior of sharing chocolate also reflects the kindness in his nature.
After joining the Ninth Company, he received military education and grew up quickly. When he was criticized by the commander, he learned his shame and became brave, becoming a combat hero.
He found the trick. The other characters are relatively simple. They are all staunch warriors and fighting heroes. The actors are all experienced actors.
This made the progress of the literary opera rapid and rapid, and almost always happened over and over again.
Soon, "Garland" was completed and entered post-production, and it was time to set a schedule.
Su Zhe came to Long Aotian and decided with Zhang Hongwei on the schedule and promotion period.
Long Aotian is now known as the number one film and television company in the country. It is no longer a small workshop. It cannot be like Su Zhe at the beginning, where he only rushes to find a schedule after filming.
As a commercial blockbuster and a war masterpiece, "Garland" requires a lot of special effects in the later stages, and it will definitely not be able to make it in time for the summer release.
The National Day release is very suitable for the occasion, but for a commercial blockbuster, it cannot fully realize its box office potential.
Su Zhe decided:
"It will be during the Spring Festival."
Zhang Hongwei reminded him:
"Zhai Xiaowen's "The Battle of Konggang River" is also on the Spring Festival schedule. Has it hit the schedule?"
Su Zhe rolled his eyes:
"I don't care about him? Everyone depends on their ability when the schedule is different!"
Zhang Hongwei smiled bitterly:
"If we switch to another schedule, we can also get a reservation for the unit, but if we are on the same schedule as Zhai Xiaowen, we will definitely not be able to get a reservation."
Su Zhe didn't care:
"Do I need to book the venue?"
Zhang Hongwei was stunned for a moment and nodded:
"That's right. Because of the inertia of being the main melody before, I forgot that this is a big production and you can't make back your money by booking the venue. By the way, what about "Tang Detective 3"?"
Su Zhe said helplessly:
"Let's finish the script first. I've already written the outline and plot. Look what the screenwriter center wrote? It's a piece of shit! Will it destroy Tang Tan Universe if it's filmed?"
Zhang Hongwei smiled bitterly:
"Mr. Su, since the Tang Detective feature film is so important, you should write it yourself and let the screenwriters write scripts for "Conan" and the like to practice their skills."
Su Zhe was helpless. If he had a complete copy of the script, would he need someone else to write it?
He did not explain, only said:
"Let them continue writing! Tang Tan Universe, I will not keep doing it, and I will not even provide tricks in the fourth part. But this IP is very important, and Long Aotian must be able to maintain it."
Zhang Hongwei thought that Su Zhe, like other artists, had lost interest in mystery dramas.
Just like after his interest in martial arts dramas waned, even the novels he wrote, such as "Little Li Flying Knives" and "Peerless Two Prides", didn't bother to adapt them into scripts and sold them directly to Penguin.
"Okay, I'll invite a well-known mystery novelist in the country, and I will definitely write the script!"
Zhang Hongwei lost the sense of security given by Su Zhe and had no choice but to find another way.
Su Zhe left Long Aotian after reminding him that he had signed a confidentiality contract and must not reveal the most important "dismemberment" plot of "Tang Detective 3".
He returned home, rested for two days, and then rushed to Su Z City, Jiangsu Province.
The highly anticipated "National Glory" in the three East Asian countries will finally begin recording.
After arriving at the recording location, Su Zhe first met with the Chinese guests, his team members——
Gong Man, An Linger, Li Daoqiang, Yu Haohua and Lu Jian, as well as some newcomers.
Except for the newcomers, they were all acquaintances. Su Zhe couldn't help but complain:
"Apart from old friends who come to support us, no one else dares to come?"
Chinese producer Gong Huaichang said with a wry smile:
"We invited many celebrities, but they all refused to come because they had schedules."
Su Zhe knew very well that it was normal for celebrities not to come.
Before China's economy took off, Japan was the most important entertainment market in Asia, and Chinese celebrities all wanted to enter and make more money.
For example, stars of the older generation such as Deng, Long, Huang and Rong have all gone to Japan to develop the market. Even Ka Kui died in Japan due to a stage accident.
But now, China is the largest entertainment market in Asia. Domestic celebrities have already made a lot of money and have no interest in breaking out of their comfort zone and entering Japan.
They are even more afraid that they will embarrass China in a direct confrontation with Japan, arouse domestic anti-Japanese sentiment, and affect their ability to make money domestically.
If you win, there won't be much benefit, but if you lose, you'll be in bad luck. Who would want to come?
So apart from the newcomers, only old friends came to support us. There were also some friends who wanted to come, but were blocked by the agency.
An Ling'er, Li Daoqiang and Yu Haohua all work alone and do not have a brokerage company. They come here if they want.
Gong Man and Lu Jian are Mary Sue's artists, and of course they must support the boss's Japanese strategy.
So Su Zhe looked at the guests gratefully and promised:
"Don't worry, as long as I am here, I will definitely lead you to victory! I will not let you be embarrassed in front of the Chinese people."
A group of people, especially the newcomers, were excited by him and shouted:
"Fuck Xiaozhi!"
Gong Huaichang wiped his sweat aside and quickly reminded:
"China and Japan are friendly. We are here to make friends, not to fight."
He tried his best to control the emotions of Su Zhe and others, and when the Japanese stars arrived, he bowed as soon as they entered, making everyone feel embarrassed and too specific.
They even communicated with each other and quickly became familiar with each other.
After all, we are very particular about "don't hit the smiling person".
But Su Zhe and Gong Man always had indifferent expressions, because Japan's captain and star leader was Kenji Sagara.
They could never forget how rampant this man was in private in Japan.
But his public image is good.
Because he was a top idol when he was young, and after turning into an actor, he played a large number of high-rated and comic Japanese dramas, and he was called "the handsome guy who broke the dimensional wall".
After receiving award recognition, he began to star in Dahe dramas, which are Japanese historical dramas, usually performed by recognized acting actors.
There are no shortcomings in appearance, figure, fans, acting skills, awards, ratings, and national popularity. Therefore, he is not only popular in Japan, but also has many fans around the world, including China.
However, he also has some dirty facts - he is quite carefree and changes his female companions all day long, which is known to everyone in Japan.
However, black material is usually only circulated in China, and foreign fans rarely know about it or don't care much about it.
Therefore, he has a lot of fans in China, and unlike other male stars, there are also many male fans among them because he has appeared in a large number of comic book adaptations.
Even in the eyes of passersby, his image is very good, and he is used as a benchmark for domestic idols:
[Look at Kenji, who started out as an idol and transformed into an actor. How hard he works! Let’s look at domestic traffic users. If they don’t want to make progress, they just want to cut off their fans. It’s really irritating! 】
[Let’s learn from Kenji! When will you be able to act in the drama? 】
This situation lasted until Su Zhe became famous and people on the street found a better benchmark, so they stopped mentioning his name.
But as the "benchmark of the previous generation", Kenji Sagara has a good reputation in China, and fans are constantly asking him for autographs.
Even some newcomers and guests excitedly took photos with him and posted them on Weibo.
On their Weibo, fans happily said:
[I have become successful, and I have cooperated with Kenji Sagara! 】
Gong Man felt a little dissatisfied and couldn't help but look at Su Zhe:
"Are the new people too enthusiastic?"
Su Zhe shrugged:
"It's good if you're not so excited that you kneel down."
"There are still people kneeling down?" Gong Man felt incredible.
"If so."
Su Zhe shrugged and said nothing more.
…
The next day, the show started recording.
The content designed by Gong Huaichang mainly promotes good-neighborliness and friendship, and specifically introduces the history of Jianzhen's eastward journey.
But there are also competitive events, such as cornering, a common training method in the military.
After the staff introduced the rules of bargaining, Kenji Sagara immediately smiled and said:
"Isn't this sumo wrestling?"
"Yes, it's similar to our national sport, sumo."
Japanese stars all agreed.
Su Zhe was rewarded with Japanese language by the system. After hearing their discussion, he couldn't help but look at them and said:
"Jiaodui originated from the Yanhuang period 5,000 years ago. It was a combat method used by Chi You's army. It later evolved into a performance and competitive Chiyou opera, also known as Jiaodui."
"During the Jin Dynasty, wrestling was also called sumo. It was introduced to Japan in the Tang Dynasty and became the ancestor of sumo wrestling in Japan. In China, by the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was also called wrestling. It was actually a sport and came from the same origin."
The Japanese stars were a little surprised and couldn't help shouting:
"Really?"
"is that a lie!"
"It was 5,000 thousand years ago. Is there any historical evidence? Is it fake history?"
Su Zhe was speechless:
"Sumo wrestling, medicine, kimono, tea ceremony, Go, polo, writing, coins, katana (Tang sword)... these were all introduced to Japan from the Tang Dynasty, and there is no dispute in the historiography of the two countries."
In terms of cultural traditions, Japan is more shameless than Bangzi. It admits that these traditional cultures were learned from China, and there is no "controversy".
In fact, there is nothing shameful in itself. Cultural exchanges are normal. Didn’t the traditional Chinese musical instrument Erhu also come from the Western Regions? Otherwise, why is it called Er "Hu"?
It’s just that Japan was too backward at the time. Learning from the Tang Dynasty directly became the cultural foundation of Japan.
The Tang Dynasty was too generous and did not understand what a technological blockade was. It did not imitate the US imperialism in setting up an embargo list, allowing neighboring countries to learn too many advanced technologies.
Therefore, Su Zhe only felt regretful, not showing off, and his tone was very calm.
But Japanese stars, like domestic stars, have relatively poor cultural literacy. Their expressions showed disbelief and looked at him with suspicion.
Su Zhe couldn't help but ask: "Don't you study history?"
Unable to refute, they simply urged:
"Let's start sumo wrestling!"
"We must win, this is our national skill!"
"No matter where we come from, we are stronger. It would be great if we prove that we can inherit the great Tang culture!"
Is this really the Tang version of "Green Luo is also Luo"?
Jingtang was furious!
This time, Su Zhe didn't dare to lose.
Otherwise, just after popularizing the science "I am a young father", you will lose, and you will become a clown?
With his physical fitness and fighting ability (both top-notch), at least he had no opponent in the entertainment industry and could have easily won.
But the problem is that the game designed by Gong Huaichang is too competitive. When the two of them compete, they have to wear fat inflatable clothes and soft inflatable cushions under their feet.
This made the two men's movements extremely clumsy.
Moreover, the two teams also competed outside the court to answer questions. The winner can draw the following props and use them——
The soapy water will be extremely slippery when sprayed onto the mat, causing the two of them to fall;
In the carousel, the opponent must rotate 720 degrees in place;
Blindfold, cover your eyes for 1 minute;
…
Under the influence of these props, the so-called "fighting" has changed from a serious fighting event to a variety show with full entertainment effects.
Although Su Zhe won the victory with difficulty under these interferences, the Japanese stars were very unconvinced:
"If it weren't for the interference of these props, we would have won!"
"I have to bow and apologize when I go back."
"This is a variety show effect. People shouldn't be angry, right?"
But when we watched the replay together, we didn't care about winning or losing. Instead, we found that everyone was in a panic, including the "Flower of the Mountains" Su Zhe, who made people laugh when he slipped.
The following games are also designed in this way, full of jokes, but not very competitive. People will not be upset whether they win or lose, but they will laugh at the unlucky ones together.
All the guests were having fun, and their original nervousness and anger disappeared. Instead, they gradually became friendly as they got along with each other.
People, if we play games together and laugh together, some friendship will naturally develop after we get along for a long time.
Su Zhe couldn't help but sigh:
"Producer Gong, this is your idea of designing the game."
Gong Huaichang smiled and said:
"In the face of white people in Europe and the United States, East Asia must unite. Of course, China must be the center, so the higher authorities have been promoting it. We must put the overall situation first."
From a practical perspective, this seems to be the case.
But the historical baggage is too heavy, and it is difficult to fully focus on interests.
Moreover, the sovereignty of the other two countries is not complete. If the leaders dare to be pro-China, they will be killed. Can they have the final say?
But Su Zhe didn't say anything and shrugged:
"Okay, let's record it as a comedy variety show."
After recording for more than ten days, everyone completed the first five programs and also completed the recording at China's home court.
They are about to fly to Japan to record 5 home programs in Japan.
During this period, "National Glory" was also launched in both countries after post-production and began broadcasting.
And as expected, it immediately became the focus of attention from both countries!
