Chapter 269
New script outline for Ru Meng Ling
The IP series of Princess Dilande movies has always attracted much attention, and after the trailer of "Beauty and the Beast" was released, it further ignited the public's enthusiasm for discussion.
Some people encouraged and were optimistic about this innovation and couldn't wait to see the feature film; some "fairy tale fundamentalists" expressed their inability to accept it, as this was completely different from the story they had imagined!
Regarding the latter, some enthusiastic netizens also provided scientific knowledge: If the version you remember is the Dylan animated film, then it is also an adaptation. The most widely circulated fairy tales on the market may not be the original manuscripts when they were created.
Where there are different opinions there will be discussions, and where there are discussions there will be a lot of heat generated. Ling Sui once again proved with practical actions that she = traffic outlet. With a little editing of the one and a half minute trailer, it can bring huge traffic revenue to marketing accounts and self-media.
The trailer cycle for Hollywood movies is usually quite long. "Beauty and the Beast" is scheduled to be released in North America in July next year, and its introduction in mainland China has been confirmed.
Although it was not stated whether it was synchronized, Dillard had found Ling Suisui to be the lead actor and also specially asked Thomas to open a Weibo account, so there shouldn't be too big a time difference.
There is no fan base in the world that is more awesome than the Suisi, and there is so much good news in September.
Popular variety shows are still on the air, art films have achieved great box office success, next year's commercial blockbusters have released highly discussed and anticipated trailers, and Ling Suisui is about to join the next Hollywood blockbuster...
If we were to nominate a list of stars who will never disappoint their fans, and Ling Suisui was not ranked first, then the list would not be convincing.
Before leaving, Ling Suisui finished all the things that needed to be done.
I have taken photos for magazines and commercial projects, attended sister gatherings, met with several big directors and producers, and also paid attention to Feng Li's situation.
"Hero, Please Take the Challenge" was a very good broadcast. Not only did the hard-working students reap the benefits, but Feng Li also became an overnight sensation. Netizens call her Lizhi or Xiaohaijie. She has more than one million fans on Weibo and Douzi, and her popularity is higher than some actors in the circle.
And because it was no secret that she and Qi Xuan were in the circle, many film crews asked her to film.
It is impossible to agree to all of them, not to mention that Feng Li still has to go to school and doesn't have that much time. Not all works are worth starring in.
Qi Xuan originally wanted to ask her agent to help Feng Li choose, but her agent had to take leave for personal matters. Therefore, Qi Xuan held a meeting with her family and decided to let Feng Li sign a three-year film and television contract with Fengshou Media.
For ordinary newcomers, Fengshou Media signs them for a minimum of five years, but considering the relationship between the boss Ling Suisui and teacher Qi Xuan, as well as the special nature of the child star's identity, Tong Xiaoman still took the order.
The company and Feng Li's parents reached a consensus: she would no longer appear in variety shows, advertisements would not be handled by Fengshou Media, and she would only accept roles in reliable crews. It would be best if the filming time was during holidays so as not to interfere with the children's classes.
"I've never met a child star before." Ling Suisui scratched his head, "Sister Tong, should we assign her an executive agent who understands child psychology? Children's mental health is very important."
Tong Xiaoman nodded. She would also remind team members to pay attention to isolating and protecting Feng Li from external information and not let her get involved in certain things.
"But she has a very positive attitude and often exudes positive energy," said Tong Xiaoman. "With her joining, the atmosphere in the company has improved a lot."
Well... As for why things were a bit bad originally, it was of course because the newcomer Lin Yahan overtook on a curve and ran directly ahead of Tian Tian and others.
Tian Tian and Wen Yi were not that famous, so they were less affected. The one who was most upset was Zhao Xianning. Her previous role as the eldest sister in "Yao Tai Lu" was very popular, but it is not easy for an actress to advance in her career, and she is still accumulating the depth of her works.
At this moment, Lin Yahan suddenly blushed. Although she doesn't have any representative works in film and television yet, she has traffic. She and Zhao Xianning form the most direct competitive relationship in the same age group. Moreover, in the casting of film and television works, Lin Yahan has more advantages because she is fresh.
Tong Xiaoman has been trying very hard to avoid internal competition between the two of them. At Harvest Media, except for Ling Suisui, other actors do not have real personal studios. They all have a model of fixed members + free members. The latter may be responsible for the work of multiple actors at the same time and may change groups at any time.
Ever since Lin Yahan became famous, she and Zhao Xianning no longer had any overlapping team members, and Feng Yang even personally followed up on finding film and television resources for them. But such a delicate balance cannot be maintained for long.
Tong Xiaoman said bluntly: "They are of similar age and style. With the size of the harvest, it is not possible to cultivate two rising stars at the same time."
"The current situation is that either one person is chosen and resources are allocated to her to rise first, or both of them are allocated limited resources and it is possible that neither of them can rise."
Ling Sui held her forehead with a headache. How should she make a decision?
"Let them try their best." This was all she could say. "For domestic dramas, let's talk about that. For external dramas, let whoever is needed audition. We won't restrict them or recommend replacements. We have to be worthy of these children. As for other aspects..."
Saying that everything is up to you to decide is very irresponsible. Avoiding the problem will not solve the problem, but if you ask her to explain the reason, she can't do it.
Ling Suisui sighed and said, "As for the professional ability of actors, Lin Yahan is slightly better, but this ability will change over time, and Zhao Xianning may not always be inferior to her. There are many factors that determine whether an actor can maintain long-term popularity, and acting skills are not the only determining factor. Analyze from your professional perspective."
Tong Xiaoman nodded: "You don't have to worry too much. Maybe one of them will be promoted in the next drama. As long as the gap is widened, the problem of resource competition will be solved."
The fantasy is beautiful, but Ling Sui knows it is not that easy. Compared to this, she just hopes that the actors can develop down to earth, and no one should be so desperate as to do something that would flop overnight or even be directly banned.
"We still have to organize an internal drama so that everyone can have a chance."
After all, good things should be kept within the family. Even outsiders know that they can ascend to heaven by following her, so this kind of good thing must be kept for the family.
Of course, the premise is that there really are such good works.
Since Yan Siling's movies are not good, she is destined to go the route of creating art films, and reducing costs will be the top priority; she is also following several projects incubated by Harvest Media, and the one she is most optimistic about at the moment is the one by Tang Bao.
Ancient political intrigues and group portraits are the focus, so a lot of actresses are definitely needed. If the heroine does not cultivate her own female team, who will help her and support her? How can she stand in the court?
With Tang Bao's logical ability, she would definitely be able to think of this, and Ling Suisui has great confidence in her.
"Is there any progress?" she asked.
Tong Xiaoman: "Yes, after Xiao Tang sorted out her thoughts, writing the script went much more smoothly. It just so happens that she is in the company today, so let her come in and report."
Tang Bao came in soon with a tablet. She first showed Ling Sui the outline cover, the title of which was "Ru Meng Ling".
Ling Sui held his chin with his hand and said: "I remember the last time was "The Legend of Yun Zheng." The heroine's name is Yun Zheng.
"Yes, I changed it." In front of the heroine of the work, Tang Bao mentioned casually: "The core plot of the whole play was the personal growth of the heroine before, and now it is the road to the revival of the feudal dynasty."
If it were another actress, she would probably be unhappy to hear this. Why would the role of the heroine be changed?
But Ling Sui has played too many leading female roles, and she knows very well that a true "leading female role" is never determined by the amount of roles she has.
The character of a character cannot be convinced by just shouting slogans, but must be reflected in the specific plot, and the plot description cannot be without contradictions and conflicts. Xiao Tang changed the main storyline, which may help to better shape the character image.
Xiao Tang continued, "I have thought about it seriously and looked up some information. What kind of environment and conditions can allow the heroine to gain power and not be strangled by the clan system and patriarchy in the early stage?"
"If you want to highlight the wisdom of the heroine, the villain cannot be stupid. If the villain has the intelligence and political literacy of a normal scholar in the feudal era, then the reason why they don't suppress the heroine can only be that she is indispensable. This must and can only be done by her, in order to win precious development opportunities for the heroine."
"Following this logic, I thought of war. Moreover, this war must take place in a very important geographical location, and the war situation must be very severe. If the heroine can't stand it, the emperor and civil officials in the capital will not be safe. It must be this cruel so that they can resist and not drag the heroine down."
Xiao Tang snapped his fingers: "Have you thought of anything?"
"The Shame of Jingkang?" Ling Suisui tilted his head. "You want to refer to the historical background of the Song Dynasty."
"That's right."
Xiao Tang nodded. "I can't set up a purely imaginary dynasty out of thin air. I must find some references. With specific references, the costumes and props will be more smoothly implemented. Although the official system of the Song Dynasty is really dazzling, the term "redundant officials" is really not a joke. I have studied it for a long time and still haven't figured it out completely..."
"That's off topic. The background of the times, the bureaucracy, and the level of social productivity are based on the Northern Song Dynasty. The characters are purely original. The bad news is that there is no Yue Fei. The good news is that there are no Two Saints of Xuexiang and Wanyan Gou. As for the level of the emperor... let's refer to Adou."
Ling Suisui pointed at himself and said, "Then I am Zhuge Liang?"
"You're not. You think too highly of me. Can I write a script of this level?"
Xiao Tang shook his head first, then said: "The most important thing is that Yun Zheng did not have the physical conditions to have a close relationship with the emperor in the feudal era, and she was not the kind of person who would devote herself to the emperor until her death."
"To be honest, I tried to write this way. I also wanted to create a perfect image of a heroine, but if she was smart and knew what power was from a young age, how could she not realize her powerless status under the feudal system?"
"With backward productivity, the tentacles of imperial power could only extend through the large network woven by the patriarchal system. Even if Wu Zetian became the empress, she could not shake this foundation. The fact that there was no nephew offering sacrifices to his aunt cut off her path to pass the throne to the Wu family."
"So the relationship between Yun Zheng and the emperor will be very delicate. The emperor wants to win her over, because she cannot integrate into any interest group and can be his lone minister. At the same time, he must acquiesce to the suppression of her by the officials and cannot let her power touch the bottom line of the patriarchal system, which will shake his basic rule."
"When Liu Bei invited you to come out of seclusion, he had to visit you three times. The emperor in my script can't make Yun Zheng the Marquis of Wuxiang, so she definitely won't become Zhuge Liang. A person's character is inseparable from the influence of the social environment."
When Xiao Tang said this, he also observed Ling Sui's expression.
Ling Suisui smiled and said, "Just say whatever you want to say. This is just an internal company meeting. Even if the radio and television bureau doesn't allow us to film it, we still have time to change it now."
"No, no, no, I will definitely let it air. I am not asking the heroine to usurp the throne and become the empress. I am just asking her to be a powerful minister."
Xiao Tang rubbed his hands: "Sui Sui, do you want to challenge a difficult role? You know, the more complex the characters are, the less glorious and upright they are... They are all based on power struggles, so there is definitely no naivete..."
She swallowed. "What if he's the kind of person who has a low bottom line in order to gain power, who also plays political tricks and values results more than process?"
