Entertainment: My house collapsed and I was forced to start making movies

Chapter 242 Costume Drama

The popularity of "Hurricane" has made people in the industry envious, but they can only be envious.

This drama, like "The Deaf Lawyer," belongs to a genre that is difficult to replicate.

Because they don't have a child guard behind them to help.

They copy the same type of film and television dramas, let alone filming, and even the scripts cannot pass the review.

Even the scale of "Crazy" is much larger than the previous "Deaf Lawyer".

Although "Deaf and Mute Lawyer" is big, at least it is a drama that promotes positive energy.

It was broadcast on the Star.

But "Crazy" has been airing on the Internet platform for more than a month now, and we haven't heard any news about it being released.

There are even rumors that the show is likely to be withdrawn.

Even with Tong Guan's support, this drama is at risk of being taken off the shelves, which shows how difficult it is to copy such film and television dramas.

"Honey, is it impossible for Kuangbiao to reach the stars?"

Seeing the news that Kuangbiao has not been promoted to star, Liu Yifei also became interested.

"It's difficult." Tong Guan shook his head and said in a calm tone: "Although the ending of this drama is barely positive, there are too many plots describing the rise of the Gao family, and the higher-ups are worried about causing some adverse reactions. , and now we are considering whether to remove it from the shelves.”

"Then what do you think?"

Tong Guan spread his hands: "I'm fine with that. I don't have any objections. Anyway, this drama has brought a lot of revenue, and the original purpose of making this drama has been achieved. Now it has gone beyond the basic transformation, and it will be removed from the shelves." Let’s fight.”

"That's quite a pity."

Liu Yifei said with some pity.

Because of the scale of the show, she watched it several times.

I found out that it is indeed an interesting drama, and it would be a pity if it didn’t get stars.

"What's the pity? It's just a movie and TV series."

Tong Guan didn't seem to care much.

He didn't like the show that much either.

When I let my own people join the group, it was simply because they had nothing to do.

"By the way, hubby, I heard that there is a film and television drama that is looking for actors recently, and they have contacted me. I want to give it a try."

"Ok?"

Tong Guan looked at Liu Yifei with some surprise: "Is there anyone still looking for you now?"

Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean? I am also a movie queen after all. I am also a fairy sister. Do they have any problems with me?"

"You misunderstood me." Tong Guan waved his hand and said, "Don't everyone in the industry know that you are at home full time now, why would they invite you to go out for filming?"

In fact, since Liu Yifei became pregnant, she said that she would take a break.

The only film and television drama filmed in the meantime was the previously aired "Where the Wind Is".

The key is whether this drama was made because Tong Guan persuaded it to be a gift to the two little guys.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken the photo.

Tong Guan thought she would just give up, but now she said she had received an invitation?

Generally speaking, when she said this, she had the idea of ​​going out to film.

"Don't worry about it, I'm quite interested in that script anyway."

With that said, Liu Yifei winked at Tong Guan.

"Well, if you're interested, just go and take pictures."

"Mainly, I heard that this drama has a lot of kissing scenes."

"Kissing scene?" Tong Guan raised his eyebrows.

Ever since Liu Yifei decided to be with him, she has not filmed any kissing scenes.

Not to mention that now that they are married and have children, Tong Guan can let her go out to film kissing scenes.

"So what do you mean now?"

"I want my husband to go shooting with me~"

Liu Yifei held Tong Guan's hands and said.

She now refuses to do kissing scenes.

The main reason is that now that she is a mother, she doesn't want her children to see this in the future.

Even for some intimate scenes she had participated in before, Liu Yifei contacted people and asked them to delete these scenes.

Nowadays, the only intimate scenes of her that can be found through formal channels on the market are with children.

"Invite me to join you?" Tong Guan pointed to himself: "What kind of crew can you afford to hire me?"

"I asked them to contact our company for investment, and it will probably appear in the company's projects in the next two days."

Liu Yifei blinked and said.

Tongguan:.
No wonder Liu Yifei asked herself to star in it.

It turns out that I asked my own company to invest.

In fact, it makes sense when you think about it. Apart from the film and television dramas invested by your own company, which crew can afford to invite you now?
His appearance means ratings, and they are ratings that dominate the screen.

If you want to join the group, the price will be sky-high.

The kind that can directly break the salary limit order.

"What drama?"

"Ancient costume, here's the script."

Liu Yifei quickly took out a script from the drawer on the side and handed it to Tong Guan.

Tongguan:.
"So, it doesn't really matter whether I agree or not, right?"

"If you want to watch me kiss other men, that's fine."

"I'll take a look."

Tong Guan said helplessly.

Then open the script and prepare to read it.

But when he saw the title of the play written on the first page, Tong Guan couldn't hold himself tight. "Meng Hua Lu"

This drama is one of the few film and television dramas that Tong Guan dare not film.

This drama is an adaptation of Guan Hanqing's play "Saving Feng Chen", but the adapted plot has completely lost the character of the original work.

In the original work, Zhao Pan'er is a prostitute and an oiran. In order to save his friend, another prostitute Song Yinzhang, he resorted to seducing the man who abused Song Yinzhang to save Song Yinzhang from the sea of ​​misery.

"Meng Hua Lu" changes the identity of the heroine, a righteous and witty woman, from a courteous courtesan to a virtuous woman who has never sold her life and has become a good woman, which itself is already deviating from the original intention.

As a result, there was an even more speechless plot. A prostitute, who was a prostitute who was a prostitute but not a prostitute, looked down on prostitutes who were prostitutes and classified prostitutes into three, six or nine grades.

You must know that most of the women who became prostitutes in ancient times were forced to do so. It was unfortunate enough, but they ended up being scolded by their fellow prostitutes as Israeli servants.

What did the screenwriter want to express when he wrote this plot?Even if they were oppressed and harmed in ancient society, are they despicable just because they lost their virginity?
In "Save the Fengchen", Tong Guan saw Guan Hanqing's sympathy for the prostitutes who were oppressed and suffering by society, and what Tong Guan saw was the prostitute who still helped others even though she was in hell.

Rather than the typical patriarchal thoughts in "Menghualu" that show how important chastity is and how shameful selling one's body is.

If the character of the original work is lost, why keep the name of the original protagonist? What’s the point of retaining only the skin and losing the spirit?It’s better to be original!
Whether it was the Yuan Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, many women were sold as prostitutes from good families. They did not voluntarily go to brothels to serve people. Especially in the Song Dynasty, the phenomenon of forcing good girls into prostitution was particularly widespread, and some parents deliberately trained their daughters. Then she sold her daughter into prostitution in exchange for money.

Tong Guan can understand that the heroine is unwilling to mention the past after becoming a good girl, and wants to pursue a good life as an ordinary woman. As she said herself, this is destiny, not her fault.

But the next words, she said that I was innocent and never used sex to serve anyone when I was in school, which made me feel that the Zhao Paner in Menghualu is no longer the Zhao Paner in "Save the Fengchen". It's not a difference in personality or experience. The difference is a difference in thought and spirit.

She had been in a lowly position before, and knew that it was destiny and not her fault. She entered the Le Camp and became a prostitute, and was able to retain her virginity. Those who were directly sold into brothels were sold to thousands of people. Does a woman who is forced to use sex to serve others become an innocent person?
Is physical innocence so important?Shouldn't she be more sympathetic to women who are more miserable than herself?

Maybe Zhao Pan'er in "Meng Hua Lu" didn't really fall into the deepest and muddiest mud like Zhao Pan'er in "Save the Feng Chen", so he couldn't truly sympathize with the suffering of these suffering prostitutes.

In fact, when Tong Guan saw this, he could have said that he was too sensitive and thought too much.Then the conversation between Zhang Haohao and Song Yinzhang that appeared later made him feel the discrimination against prostitutes who sell themselves even more.

This idea is not only vaguely reflected in the heroine, but also in other prostitutes. It is obvious that they are all in the same lowly status, and it is their fate that makes them so unfortunate, but they use their own little bits to compare with the prostitutes. Luck comes to trample them.

As a courtesan, Zhang Haohao was dazzled by the high-ranking officials in the flowers and willows, so he easily divided people into three, six or nine grades, and he was the highest among them. Isn't this a retrogression of thought?
Israeli waiters are cheap. I can't believe that this sentence comes from the mouth of a prostitute like Zhang Haohao.

To put it another way to an extreme, wouldn't a prostitute serve others with sex?Do men go into brothels just to listen to your music?Isn’t it also for your graceful figure and stunning appearance?

Of course, this is not the woman's fault, it is a problem of that society.But returning to the play, Tong Guan couldn't help but ask, is it really appropriate for such a person to enlighten Song Yinzhang with such words?

"Meng Hua Lu" has lost the character of "Save Feng Chen" because neither Zhao Pan'er, who has escaped from low status, nor Zhang Hao Hao, who is still a prostitute, look down on those women who are still struggling in the mud and cannot be upright and innocent.

Although he did something to save Feng Chen, the contempt shown in the lines made me unable to feel the character of "Save Feng Chen".

By the way, the rescued Song Yinzhang was also an innocent prostitute in "Menghua Lu".

When Tong Guan saw this, he thought it was really funny.

In the previous life, this drama was able to withstand criticism entirely because the screenwriter was a woman and she was used to carry the gun.

But even so, he was still labeled as antagonizing men and women, Mu Nan, and misogynist.

Tong Guan didn't dare to think about whether the audience's eyes would still be focused on the screenwriter if he had invested in this drama himself.

And if you can't use the screenwriter to block the gun
This show is probably going to be spitted out.

After briefly looking through the script, Tong Guan was sure that this was the Menghua Lu that he had watched in his previous life.

He closed the script and said helplessly: "I can't act in this play, and the company can't invest in it."

"why?"

Liu Yifei looked at Tong Guan with some surprise.

Tong Guan had no choice but to explain: "Mu Nan is a misogynist and looks down on prostitutes because of their seductive prostitutes. These are all sensitive topics and will be scolded to death."

"But...I really want to take pictures of ancient costumes recently."

Liu Yifei pouted and said.

Seeing this, Tong Guan couldn't help but rub her head: "I'll write a costume script for you to play later. This drama will not be accepted, and the company will not be allowed to invest. Let other companies make this money. You also know , I am quite embarrassed now, if I engage in this kind of subject again, it will affect subsequent matters."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei had no choice but to nod.

After all, Tong Guan will soon embark on another career path. If a drama causes some bad public opinion, it will be very detrimental to him.

This is also the reason why the film and television dramas produced by Tong Guan in the past two years tend to be more about real energy.

Everything is done out of caution and I don’t want to leave anything behind.

Even for this time's "Crazy", if it wasn't for the happy ending, Tong Guan would not have agreed to change the script.

As for the costume drama promised to Liu Yifei, Tong Guanzhen already has plans.

When it comes to ancient costumes, there is definitely no way to avoid being related to certain ancient feudal systems, so Tong Guan plans to directly buy the copyright of the novel.

Then make a remake according to the original novel, so that if there are any problems, you can directly throw them to the author of the original novel.

Anyway, I have to take it out myself.

Tong Guan originally thought that if he did not invest in "Meng Hua Lu", the turmoil caused by this drama would have nothing to do with him.

But he never dreamed that the drama's turmoil would still affect him.

The reason is very simple, just because a lot of gossip suddenly popped up during the promotion of this show.

"It is said that Tong Guan and Liu Yifei originally planned to star in this drama, but the investor was not Fairy Tale Media at the time, so they did not appear."

"It seems that Fairy Tale Media also tried to invest in this drama, but failed."

"Strictly speaking, this is a good drama that was carefully selected by Tong Guan! Although Tong Guan did not participate in the end, it is definitely excellent!"

"."

In order to maximize publicity, the investors directly dragged Tong Guan into trouble.

As a result, some fans actually went to watch the show because of Tong Guan.

Then, what Tongguan expected happened.

When some viewers discovered the chain of contempt hidden in this show, everyone began to get angry.

At first, they just scolded the actors, producers, and directors.

Later, they began to curse Tongguan for no reason.

He also said that the reason why Tong Guan likes this drama must be because he is such a person himself, so he has no feelings about what is hidden in this drama.

When seeing these remarks, Tong Guan was speechless.

After working on it for a long time, I still got involved.

Fortunately, Tong Guan installed a camera in his study.

So he didn't say any more nonsense and directly intercepted the clips of the conversation with Liu Yifei that day and released it.

"Mu Nan is a misogynist and looks down on prostitutes because of their seductive prostitutes. These are all sensitive topics and you will be scolded to death when the time comes."
