Low Key Star

  Chapter 178 [178] Prisoner Bull Music Award

   "I wasn't so lucky in my previous life. My family was ordinary—even more ordinary than now. I had to borrow my tuition from others. I didn't study hard, so I just scribbled nonsense..."

"Write what?"

"It's just lyrics, novels, etc. It's purely for hobbies, which delayed my studies. Fortunately, I was very talented. I barely got into a university and got a diploma. After graduation, I made some money by writing, typing every day. , and finally earned some money to improve the home environment..."

  Of course Zhang Yang would not be so stupid as to tell the truth, he made a little artistic treatment to create... Bah, he described himself as down-to-earth, lonely, and striving for self-improvement.

  Lin still listened, looked up at him, his clear and bright eyes sparkled, and said a little funny: "Where do you have so many weird ideas?"

   Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I dreamed about it."

  Lin still blinked, and asked with a smile: "Then what did you dream about?"

   Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Anyway, I didn't dream about you."

  Lin still stared at him for two seconds, the corners of his mouth curled down, and he puffed out his cheeks and let out an "oh".

Zhang Yang reached out and pinched her cheek, and said with a smile: "I didn't dream about you because I woke up from the dream before I dreamed about you, and I was busy getting up and going to class, studying hard, making progress every day, and more importantly, getting to school I can see you now, how can I have time to dream?"

Lin Yiran snorted softly, pulled his arms away, Zhang Yang calmed down, and was not ashamed to hug her in front of Yuan Tong, holding her hand as usual, stroking her smooth and soft skin. The skin on the back of the hand.

  Lin still glanced at him, still a little shy, and changed the subject: "By the way, I heard that the Prisoner Bull Music Festival is about to start tonight. Have you received the invitation?"

The three major awards in the discourse music world are the Nuwa Award, the Phoenix Award and the Prisoner Bull Award. Among them, the Nuwa Award is undoubtedly the first award. The first Nuwa Award was established in 1965, and it has been nearly three years since then. Ten years of instant.

Later, the Phoenix Group imitated the Nuwa Award and held a Phoenix Music Festival, but compared to the status of the Phoenix Film Festival, it was much inferior. In recent years, thanks to the development of the Phoenix Music Platform, its influence has only begun to rise steadily .

  As for the Prisoner Bull Music Festival, this is the fifth edition, and its gold content and influence are at the bottom of the three major music festivals.

  However, for Zhang Yang, it is very important to be recognized at the Prisoner Bull Music Festival, because even if his first album has achieved amazing results, he is still just a rookie and needs such repeated experience.

   So going is definitely a must.

  Of course, Zhang Yang doesn't have to think about this issue yet, because he hasn't received an invitation.

   "Has the invitation been sent yet?"

   Zhang Yang was a bit surprised. An album that has been almost completely "leaked" has a total sales of more than two million digital and physical. Is this achievement not even eligible for such a prize as the Prisoner Bull Award?

  Lin Yiran was also a little surprised to hear him ask this question. He blinked and said innocently: "I don't know... have you sent an invitation?"

   "Then you still scare me?"

   Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded her nose, "I thought I wasn't even eligible to be nominated as a prisoner cow!"

  Lin still didn't expect him to be so unconfident, so he couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if you only look at the results, your album is almost eligible to be nominated for the best album of the year..."

   After a pause, he said with a smile: "However, you only debuted this year, so it shouldn't be so easy to give awards of this level. Anyway, you are still young, so let's not rush this year, and get all the awards next year."

It has been more than a year since "Shooting the Condor" led the trend of new martial arts; it has been three months since Yinchao, and it has been a month since the first album's huge success far exceeded expectations. Zhang Yang can definitely be called the proud boy , but without any arrogance, no matter whether it is inside or outside the school, he treats people inside and outside the circle as usual.

From this point of view, publicity has nothing to do with pride and conceit, but after getting along with each other during this period of intimacy, Lin Yiran found that his works, whether it was novels or music, had a great contrast with his usual personality. Strong arrogance and conceit.

  Even when facing Gu Yutang and others today, he was stingy with a word of self-effacing, this mentality can be seen.

According to Lin Yiran's personal opinion, Zhang Yang won the best singer of the year, but the judges obviously don't think so, and they have to balance the interests of all parties. After all, Zhang Yang is just a newcomer, and it is unlikely to give him such a heavyweight award .

  She said this because she just wanted to lower Zhang Yang's expectations, so that if she won the grand prize, she would be pleasantly surprised, and if she didn't win the grand prize, she wouldn't be too disappointed.

  Zhang Yang naturally didn't know that his respect for the original work as a copywriter would cause Lin Yiran such a big misunderstanding, but he really didn't care that much about whether he could win the award

  —Of course, if you can get it, you won’t be disgusted with it.

  In the evening at the birthday party, Lin still accompanied Zhang Yang almost all the time. Now that it was over, it was not easy to accompany him anymore. When the car arrived downstairs at Zhang Yang's residence, he didn't go up again.

   Zhang Yang returned home, washed his face first, pushed Haha out of the bathroom, patted it on the head, and then went to the study and sat down in front of the computer.

   "Luo Shen, do you have a script?"

   ""Shooting the Condors"?"

"Um."

   "Which edition?"

   Zhang Yang has considered this question a long time ago, but at this moment, he is still a little hesitant.

There are seven versions of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", among which the more well-known ones are the 83, 94, 03, 08, and 175 versions of the TV series, and the 83 version is the most representative. It can be said that the most popular Jin Yong martial arts drama is also a childhood memory of countless people, including Zhang Yang.

  But I have to say that the "classic" of the 1983 edition of "Shooting the Condors" is largely or even largely due to its earlyness—before other editions, and before most audiences read the original.

   This version of Shooting Condor has a lot of flaws, and there are two points that are most criticized:

  The first is the props and sets, which are too shabby. This is also a common problem of all Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts dramas. Except for "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", which was co-produced with the mainland, without exception, they all have a petty air.

The second is that compared with the original work, the changes are too large, it is simply tampered with. Even Huang Rong, a classic character who can almost be called the first heroine of Jin Yong's martial arts, has been vilified, and the degree is comparable to the film and television works of some online novels in later generations. adapted.

  Jin Yong’s own evaluation is also: “I have been used to it since I was a child, and I feel good. Weng Meiling in the Hong Kong version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" doesn’t feel good at all now.”

   There is another sentence at the end: "I think Zhou Xun is very good, but many people think Weng Meiling is good, and this is also the reason."

  Zhou Xun plays Huang Rong, who is the 03 version of Shooting Condor in the Mainland.

  However, Zhang Yang also doesn't like the 03rd edition very much. His personal favorite is the 94th edition, but it also has many problems. As for the 17th edition, compared with the remakes and martial arts dramas of the same era, it can already be regarded as an excellent production. However, such common problems as flooding, adding scenes, and filters are really annoying to Zhang Yang, and even Yang Tiexin feels weak. Didn't even finish watching suicide.

   Zhang Yang now wants to absorb the advantages of each version, extract the essence and discard the bad, so naturally he can no longer harbor such prejudices, and try to see the problem from the standpoint of the original work as much as possible.

He was sitting in front of the computer, and before he could come to a conclusion, Lin Yiran sent a message to report his safety at home, so he chatted with her for a while, then his mother called again, chatted for a while, and when he sat down again, Almost forgot what I wanted to do before.

   After struggling for a while, Zhang Yang finally typed two words on the screen:

  Original work

   Then I thought about it and added two more words: real scene

   Think again and add the fifth word: money!

   Two exclamation marks are added to indicate the degree of importance.

  Even if it is for feelings, try not to do loss-making business, otherwise it will cost hundreds of thousands or millions. This feeling is too expensive, and market feedback must be taken into account.

Zhang Yang is not in a hurry to read the script, nor is he in a hurry to write the script. First, he compared the various versions of "The Condor Shooting" TV series, and slowly deduced the cuts of the scenes and plots: Qiu Chuji, Wanyan Honglie, Duan Tiande, and the Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River appear on stage one by one...

   Zhang Yang thought for a long time, and suddenly realized, isn't this the plot of the novel?

  From the perspective of film and television adaptation, Jin Yong's martial arts is not a bit more convenient than Gu Long's martial arts. No wonder so many people love to remake Jin Yong's martial arts.

With the choice of those film and television dramas in the previous life, Zhang Yang is not embarrassed about the plot, but he still has no idea about the style and casting. The difficulty lies with Huang Rong.

  If you compare it with the original work, Huang Rong in the five previous versions of the TV series can’t achieve the height of the image in the original work—of course, writing can rely on imagination, but the difficulty of restoring those scenes and adjectives is different.

  But as a viewer, it’s not about shooting by yourself anyway, and it’s not difficult for you, just spray it.

   Anyway, as long as these people have money to earn, they don’t care about being scolded—if I can earn that much money, I am willing to be scolded too!

  The 83rd edition is a girl, and the 94th edition is just to play with the head and play with the hair. Do you dare to ask for a dubbing in the 03rd edition? In the 2008 edition, are you sure you're not playing "Flying Immortals"? In the 17th edition, why are you bragging about your acting skills?

  …

   Zhang Yang struggled for a while, and decided to throw out this hot potato. If there are readers who complain, it will be said that I didn’t find the right one, but I have to shoot it

  —Of course you can’t say it directly, first find someone who is responsible!

  Thinking about it like this, I suddenly felt that my thoughts became clearer. The script and characters are not important. It is more important to find a competent but not famous director first.

  Even if I don't say so, the reader must think so.

  If you are scolded, then you should say a few more words for the director. He is still very serious and responsible. In short, his attitude is very good, and it is not easy. Don’t criticize him too much...

Zhang Yang had a clear idea, he was so inspired, and felt that he was a bit blindly optimistic, so he went to take a shower, and when he came back, the screen was empty, haha, lying on the computer desk, except for his tail, his whole body was as straight as a maggot, His chin was on the keyboard, and he was snoring soundly.

   Zhang Yang walked up to the table, tapped on its head, Haha didn't lift his head, opened his eyes slightly, squinted at him, stretched his hind legs, stretched his muscles and bones, and looked quite enchanting.

   Zhang Yang was a little funny, took a photo and sent it to Lin Yiran, and then you started chatting sentence by sentence, typing and chatting a few words, it was a bit unsatisfactory, and then turned on the voice, which was not enough to turn on the voice, and then turned on the video.

   Feng Shui took turns, this time it was Lin still begging to turn on the video, Zhang Yang took a good look at it, and then reluctantly agreed, turned on the camera, and then switched to the rear camera to take pictures of her haha.

  The next day, Saturday, "Sculpture of the Gods" serialized 29 episodes of "Catastrophes"—in short, after a series of accidents, Xiao Longnu went from being seriously injured to dying.

  Zhang Yang received a piece of good news: Prisoner Bull Music Festival announced this year's shortlist. He received a total of seven nominations, tied with Lin Suyuan, and became the biggest winner of this year's nominations.
