Chapter 4: Magical Remake of "Night Club"

The plot of the original "Night Club".

He Sanshui, a homeless but principled man, bought a winning lottery ticket in a supermarket but was refused payment by the lady boss.

In desperation, he took his nephew's tire and prepared to "rob" the supermarket's overnight turnover to seek justice.

He hurriedly kidnapped the shop assistants Li Junwei and Tang Xiaolian, put on a uniform and took charge of the supermarket.

After encountering a series of nonsensical customers, he made a series of jokes and had no choice but to "ask" the real salesperson back for help.

The "kidnappers" dramatically conquered the "hostages" with their personal charm. In order to achieve the "kidnappers'" "fair" goal, they put up a crazy sign of 50% off for all items in the supermarket, attracting a large number of customers.

Just when He Sanshui was about to "grab" enough money to win the lottery, a real robber came to the supermarket.

The robbers had previously robbed a jewelry store and stole a diamond worth tens of millions.

He placed it in the supermarket freezer and took it out later to avoid being caught.

However, due to the 50% discount at the supermarket, there was a buying spree and all the items in the freezer were sold out.

The freezer was cleaned out and the ice was piled up in the toilet.

When Zhu Liao went to the toilet, he saw a small box in the melted ice. When he opened it, he found a diamond.

When Zhu Liao learned that the robbers were looking for diamonds, he wanted to take them for himself and hid under the shelf.

The robbers opened fire and threatened to kill if the person was not handed over.

Zhu Liao struggled for a while, but finally handed over the diamond.

Unexpectedly, the diamond fell to the ground and was eaten by the supermarket owner's dog, and everyone chased the dog together.

The dog escaped through a gap in the supermarket door, and the robber became furious.

At this time, the police arrived outside the supermarket. It turned out that Tang Xiaolian sent the message when the police were looking for her cell phone.

The robbers kidnapped Tang Xiaolian and negotiated with the police.

Li Junwei came up with the idea of ​​taking down the shaking TV and hitting the robber.

Unexpectedly, the TV did not fall down, but instead angered the robbers. Li Junwei blocked the bullet for Tang Xiaolian.

At this time, the TV fell down, cut the power cord, and electrocuted the robber to death.

The end of the movie.

Zhu Liao became a big star because he was appreciated by the nobles who came to the supermarket to buy things, and Tire became his follower.

The female owner of the supermarket was with He Sanshui, and Li Junwei was lucky enough to survive.

His actions touched Tang Xiaolian, and the two got together.

The original version of "Night Club" focused on Xu Zheng and Qiao Renliang.

Xu Zheng is the biggest star. He is well-known for his role as Zhu Bajie and has also starred in many costume comedies.

"Crazy Stone" also has a performance, and the star is the biggest.

So he has the most important role.

The role of Li Junwei, played by Qiao Renliang, in this drama is equivalent to the role of young and handsome actors in later movies.

He has fame and fans, and even wrote a song for the show.

Of course, it could also be a requirement from the employer.

Any characters in a movie that are obviously out of place with the style of the movie basically have the shadow of the investors.

A lot of scenes were added for Qiao Renliang, and a lot of highlights were designed, which affected the balance of the film's plot.

Shen Santong's version will not do this.

First of all, "Night Club" was renamed "Crazy Supermarket".

The name "Night Club" fits the theme very well. Location: a convenience store, time: night.

The story takes place in a small store at night, so it is called "Night Store".

But, it’s not commercial.

It's like a small shop selling pancakes or bacon rolls, and the name of the shop is "A Snack Shop".

There are not only pancakes and bacon pancakes, but also rice noodles, cold noodles and fried rice noodles.

The name "A Snack Shop" is very meaningful, but it is not easy to attract customers.

At lunchtime, people were looking for something to eat and saw a snack bar. They knew it was a place selling food, but they didn't know what it sold.

If you are not interested at this time, you can find another one, and if you are interested, you can take a look.

It’s not so bad in the summer, but in the winter the temperature difference between inside and outside causes the glass of the store door to fog up.

Some people who want to go in and take a look are willing to open the door, while others are not.

If you are willing, open the door and see what is for sale. If you like to eat something, stay.

Only customers who are interested, willing to take a look, willing to come in, and look at the menu and like the food will consume.

The name of the store alone creates four obstacles, and after several choices, there are not many customers.

If the name of the store is simply "Jianbing Guozi" or "Smoked Meat Pancake", people who are looking for food at mealtime will come in directly if they see they are interested and will only have one choice.

"Night Club" as a movie title has connotations, but it also creates obstacles for moviegoers.

When the audience saw the title of this movie, they thought it was about something that happened in a nightclub.

The original audience of the movie thought it was not serious and stopped watching it.

Those who are excited about nightclubs will feel cheated when they go in.

It's purely to drive the audience away, and the name "Crazy Supermarket" is self-explanatory.

Crazy things happen in a supermarket. With a good trailer and publicity, the audience will know what kind of movie it is. Those who want to come in can come in, and those who don’t want to can leave.

The title of the movie needs to be changed, and the plot also needs to be changed.

The original version only had Xu Zheng as a big star, but in Shen Santong's version in 04, even Xu Zheng was not considered a big star.

The TV series is okay, but the movies are not that great.

Not to mention Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo, little Karami, but Shen Santong understands the potential of Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo.

These two are actors who can be the focus of the play and support the whole play.

As a director, Shen Santong has three key points of the play at his fingertips if he can train well.

To create a chemical reaction between Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo tests his level as a director and also requires a balance in their identity settings.

Shen Santong sets Xu Zheng's He Sanshui as a person who is obsessed with studying lottery models, loses his job, but always maintains a small elite status.

He always dresses respectably in a suit.

It's just that I'm short of money, so the clothes don't fit me well.

A bit like the boss character in Lost on Journey.

The tire played by Wang Baoqiang is not the nephew in the original version, but the cousin of He Sanshui.

Tire is He Sanshui's uncle. He is younger but older in seniority.

Tire came from the countryside to live with his nephew He Sanshui in the city. He is a very rustic but honest cousin.

A bit like the character Niu Geng in Lost on Journey.

The character played by Wang Baoqiang is the cousin, who is younger but older in generation.

He Sanshui, played by Xu Zheng, is older but younger in generation.

Balance the two people so that they are evenly matched and the photos look good.

The respectable nephew in the city and the rustic cousin who moved to the city from the countryside.

There are multiple contrasts in age, city and countryside, and seniority.

Huang Bo’s Zhu Liao is a humorous and somewhat funny character, an actor who is a singer.

Xu Zheng is decent, Wang Baoqiang is rustic and Huang Bo is humorous. If these three are well-tuned, this play will be absolutely wonderful.

It’s hard to say how well a movie will do at the box office; it depends on luck and also on the operation.

But as a play, it must be a good one.

"First scene, action."

The first scene chosen by Shen Santong was the tire played by Wang Baoqiang, eating caterpillar bread.

A thick and long piece of bread that can be eaten in one bite.

In this scene, Shen Santong imitated the famous scene in Lost on Journey, where Niu Geng, played by Wang Baoqiang, drinks a big bucket of milk.
