Reborn as King [Entertainment]

Looking at the situation of domestic film and television dramas in Huaguo in recent years, we can find a fact: the basic word-of-mouth and box office failures of the original fantasy fairy tale movies;A few years ago, there were fantasy movies with a Douban score of 7 or above, which were regarded as good word-of-mouth fantasy movies. In recent years, apart from various jokes about Journey to the West movies that have been refurbished, there are not a few fantasy movies with a score of 6 or more.

TV dramas are even worse. The Xianxia dramas with Douban scores above 7 points are still the two or three dramas from more than ten years ago. The rest, none of them can climb to a good reputation of 7 points, and most of them are 4 or 5. Hovering between points.And because most Xianxia dramas are IP adaptations, apart from the love between men and women, there is no other substantive content. Even if the protagonist has the whole world in his heart, there must be love entanglements in it.

Some netizens once commented on the Internet: After watching so many fairy tale dramas, I feel that the gods in Huaguo don’t have to do anything other than fall in love. I don’t know if their ancestors will be angry if they know that their disciples and grandchildren are so unclean. Go down to kill these useless guys.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, it also explains the fact that today's domestic fairy tales.The gods are either about to cross the love calamity, or they are in the process of crossing the love calamity; or after the love calamity is over, one forgets the world of mortals, and the other desperately wants to drag the other party down.Even if there is a big boss in the play, it is either related to the heroine or implicated in the hero. In short, if there is no life and death parting, this love will not be complete, and it is very painful to watch.

But this is not only the case with Xianxia dramas. In fact, most of Huaguo's film and television dramas have love as the main element. Police, doctors, procuratorates, and all walks of life are struggling on the front line of love.The TV series made by Xiaoxianrou and Xiaohua are even more inseparable from love and love, making the mainland of the motherland a sea of ​​flowers of love, and the masses of the people are in the spring of recovery of all things 360 days a year.

The limitation of subject matter and the threshold of review have all caused the limitations of Huaguo's film and television dramas.Originally, Xianxia novels also had a place abroad and were a very good carrier of cultural export, but due to various reasons, they were in a mess in China, let alone going abroad.

"Prehistoric" is off to a good start, but it also exposed the shortcomings of this theme - it is very expensive for plots and funds.Especially in terms of plot, fantasy can still find novels with good intentions. Except for fairy romance, Xianxia almost upgrades and fights all the way. Leaving aside the connotation, some of them can't even pass the review.

In order to pass the review, many IP adaptations almost changed the original work so that even the author did not know it. The characters relying on the original story were greatly revised, and the character design could not be established at all, which caused fans of the original work to look puzzled, and passers-by even more. Feel incomprehensible.And what led Lin Zhu to send the novel was the big tear between fans of the original book and fans of the star caused by such a popular IP adaptation.

This novel is "Pastoral Song" serialized on Yuanhe Novel.com. The story tells the story of Hei Wuchang, who is chasing after his soul because his original partner Bai Wuchang disappeared for no reason. While chasing and killing ghosts, he met a boy with yin and yang eyes .Hei Wuchang's attitude towards exterminating evil spirits and ghosts runs counter to the young man's practice of investigating the grievances of ghosts and revealing the truth.During the period, mixed with black impermanence and suspicion of Bai Yueguang's disappearance, the yin and yang boy Bai Qihei and his confusing life experience, this is a novel with both connotation depth and reading pleasure.

However, due to well-known reasons, "Pastoral Song", which involves elements of ghost criminal investigation, cannot be broadcast on the stars.In fact, this is not a big problem. After all, Huaguo's online dramas are also blooming everywhere, and many high-quality ones have been bought by N.com, and they can be directly made into online dramas.

The problem is that the investment is too ambitious, and they want to make "Pastoral Song" into the second "Prehistoric", so they revised the plot on a large scale, and forcibly changed all the evil spirits and ghosts.Although it finally got its wish, it attracted a lot of criticism, and the Douban score failed to climb up to 4 points.

Needless to say the specific tearing content, the result of the adaptation of "Pastoral Song" made many people feel cold.No one wants to see their favorite novel end up with a bad reputation due to various reasons. After learning that the film and television negotiation of a novel he liked very much failed, Lin Zhu hurriedly sent the novel to Li Yue, hoping to get a local tyrant. Blue Eyes, put the masterpiece of her goddess on the big screen.

However, Lin Zhu's hopeful expectation is destined to be temporarily unresponsive.At this moment, Li Yue is flying with Feiran in the Bahamas, so he doesn't even remember reading emails.

Holding two glasses of cocktails, Li Yue found Fei Ran who was sitting on the beach in a daze.Seeing that his eyes were still straight after receiving the wine glass, Li Yue asked amusedly, "What are you thinking? His eyes are straight."

Feiran took a sip of his cocktail and sighed long: "The sea is so beautiful... I don't want to go to work."

In the morning, Fei Ran received a call from Bel Green saying that "Tomorrow" has been scheduled for December 12th and will soon start promotion.Although it is a small-budget production, independent producers who are budget-minded in publicity do not plan to invest too much, but several well-known talk shows still need to be broadcast.As the protagonist, Fei Ran can't stay out of the matter. Domestic movie promotion can still use his human figure to stand up, but Hollywood's promotional model can't do it.

It is also worth mentioning that because of Li Yue's relationship, "Tomoorrow" was released at the same time in China and Hollywood, and it was still the focus of publicity in China.Therefore, Fei Ran not only has to fly back and forth in country M for the show, but also has to go back to the country to run promotions in the middle. The announcement list is listed, and Fei Ran really wants to hide on the island and not go out after watching it.

Naturally, Li Yue also saw the densely packed schedule, and felt sorry for his wife, "Why don't you go to country M for the promotion. Anyway, it's less than 2000 yuan for the screen, so no matter how much you promote it, it will be the same."

Because of the leading role being nominated for an Emmy Award and the good reputation gained during screenings, the distribution company that bought the distribution rights of "Tomoorow" has a little more confidence. In the case of the original 900 yuan screen, an additional 1000 yuan is added for the big screen .However, the number of screens for 900 yuan is not even a fraction compared to the more than 4 large screens in the United States.It is also for this reason that Bell Green focused its promotion on Huaguo, hoping that this region, whose global ticket base has surpassed that of North America since 2022, can surprise everyone.

Fei Ran took a funny look at Li Yue: "You seem to be investing in this, right? Give me more snacks, Mr. Li, Bell's head is already bald enough, don't make any trouble."

"Since it's my investment, of course it should follow my request. Mr. Li wants the leading actor to continue to accompany him on vacation, what do you think?" Li Yue smirked twice, raised Fei Ran's chin with two fingers, and took Out of the style of a full landlord bully.

Fei Ran said solemnly: "Forgive me for refusing. I love work, and work makes me happy."

"Then I can only lock you up on this island, and I won't let you go anywhere." Li Yue pinched Fei Ran's chin and said with a smile.

Feiran looked at Li Yue's distorted face with a smothered smile, and with his strong acting skills, he held the character set, and after pretending to think, he sighed: "It seems that the only way I can devote myself is."

"You're quite smart..." Mr. Li, who barely finished his lines, couldn't wait to throw the male lead down, and the two rolled into a ball on the beach...

Afterwards, Li Yue carried two empty wine glasses, and Fei Ran carried their messy clothes, and walked towards the villa hand in hand.

On the way, Li Yue asked, "How is my acting?"

Feiran smiled sweetly: "It sucks."

***

At the end of October, Feiran ended his vacation and started a one-month ultra-intensive promotional itinerary.

Different from the mode of promoting movies in China, the promotion of movies in country M is mostly TV commercials and print media advertisements, and the main creators will also appear on some talk shows or interview programs.The latter is basically concentrated in the early stage of the film's release, while the former will run through the entire promotion period.

The production cost of "Tomorrow" determines that it will not invest too much in advertising. In order to use good steel to the blade, Bell concentrated the time of releasing all the advertisements one month before the release, hoping to create in the short term. A vigorous publicity campaign.

So in November, the people of country M suddenly discovered that a movie called "Tomorrow" was born, as if they could see it everywhere.But before that, there was no news about this movie at all!It wasn't until watching the trailer that everyone remembered, isn't this the movie that Huaguo actor RanFei mentioned on Jim's show?

You can tell from the trailer that this is a romantic movie, which is very suitable for male and female friends to watch together, but what does Fei mean by that sentence on the Jim show?Can a romantic comedy surprise anyone?The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is also a rare high score in romantic comedies, reaching 81%.

Because of curiosity, Veranika in New York asked her boyfriend Anthony to watch a movie at the cinema on weekends.Anthony, who readily agreed, seemed uninterested when he learned that what his girlfriend wanted to watch was a romantic comedy.

[Okay, you invited me this time, and the right to choose the film is in your hands.But when "Phantom" is released, you must accompany me to see it. ]

Veronica, who has always disliked horror movies, bit her lip, a little hesitant to give up watching "Tomorrow".Although she likes Fei and is somewhat curious about movies, she really doesn't want to watch horror movies!

After hesitating, the last screening of "Tomorrow" ended, and men and women came out of the theater with great interest, and even a few couples stood at the ticket gate again, wanting to watch the next show.

Veronica and Anthony looked at each other, a few seconds later they walked to the ticket gate, Veronica took out cash and handed it to the conductor: [Two "Tomorrow" tickets. ]
