After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn

The more Xu Musen thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea.

First of all, the reason why the crew of "Black and White" decided on Tao Mu to play the role of Zhou Yuanting.The biggest reason is to value Tao Mu's publicity channels.In other words, the promotional strategy of the movie "Black and White" in the mainland relies heavily on Feixun.com.Secondly, "The Great Wall of Flesh" produced by Tao Mu just made a big splash at the awards ceremony of the Lingxiao Awards.The honeymoon period with the organizer Optoelectronics has not yet passed.If Tao Mu could come forward to communicate the review of the "Black and White" movie released in the mainland, I believe that the gang of optoelectronics will definitely not have the current attitude.

Most importantly, Tao Mu's supervisory ability is great.While accurately getting the so-called "political correctness" required by the mainland, it can also take into account the ratings.This happened to be something that the producers of Xiangcheng couldn't do.

In fact, Xu Musen strongly opposed Optoelectronics' rectification requirements.The big reason is that he doesn't know how to change the script at all.He didn't know what the "political correctness" required by Optoelectronics meant.And this happened to be what Tao Mu was best at.

Although Tao Mu had never produced a movie before, the "Great Wall of Flesh" that Tao Mu cast before and "The King of Soldiers" that is currently being filmed are both the main theme military dramas.Xu Musen is also in a hurry to go to the doctor now, so he can only grab Tao Mu's life-saving straw.

"...The premiere of "Black and White" in Xiangcheng is scheduled for Christmas Eve. The release time is about one month to forty days. Our original plan was to release it in the mainland during the Spring Festival in February after it was released in Xiangcheng. But now that Optoelectronics has failed to pass the review, we have no way to negotiate the schedule with the mainland theaters. If it continues to delay, I am afraid that we will not be able to grab the Lunar New Year slot.”

In fact, it is a bit late to talk about the Spring Festival schedule now.If it weren't for the fact that the crew of "Black and White" gathered too many big names from both sides of the strait and three regions, each of them would be a box office guarantee.Theatrical distributors simply didn't bother to discuss the schedule with the "Black and White" crew.Even so, the mainland theaters also gave an ultimatum to the production team of "Black and White".By December [-]th at the latest, that is, before the premiere of "Black and White" in Xiangcheng, if the crew of "Black and White" still cannot pass the photoelectric review, the mainland theaters will hand over the Spring Festival schedule in February to other movie.

"Number 24?" Tao Mu was instantly shocked: "Today is NO.13, okay?"

"So!" Xu Musen was so anxious that his hair turned gray: "I know that time is tight. But we have no way. Who knows how to change the script to satisfy those old men? Besides, even if we change the script, we Re-shooting and re-editing will also take time. How can it be done in ten days?"

In fact, according to Xiangcheng's film-making efficiency, there is still time to re-edit the script and re-shoot within ten days.However, Xu Musen has always been troubled by the thoughts of literary and art workers, thinking that he is a professional who can make movies."Black and White" directed by him, both in terms of the connotation of the film and the depth of the characters, is very complete and has a solid character arc.It cannot be simply described and defined with one-sided words such as "decent" or "villain".

The protagonist can do bad things out of plot needs.According to the role of the villain, of course, he can be superior.Therefore, in Xu Musen's view, the "political correctness" of "villains must obey the law" required by Optoelectronics is simply inexplicable.It is something that only a layman can say outright.

So Xu Musen complained a lot in front of Tao Mu, saying that this was too late and that was too late, but most of them were actually excuses.To put it bluntly, Xu Musen just didn't want to bow his head in front of Optoelectronics.Of course, if you carefully discuss this, it may also involve the issue of arm wrestling between Xiangcheng filmmakers and mainland filmmakers.A little more on the outline, that is the tacit contest between whether "art serves politics" or "art has nothing to do with politics".

But the facts have proved that Xiangcheng filmmakers are definitely not up to Optoelectronics in matters such as arm wrestling.The more intense the resistance, the longer the stalemate will last. In the end, only the crew of "Black and White" will suffer.This is the relationship between supply and demand determines everything - "Black and White" needs the mainland market to contribute to the box office, but the mainland market does not lack such a film as "Black and White" to fill the file.

Without Zhang Butcher, he would still not eat hairy pigs.This is the confidence that Optoelectronics dared to get stuck in "Black and White".

It's a pity that Xu Musen understood it too late.The relationship between the two sides has now become very stiff.If there is no competent person to mediate, I am afraid that even if Xiangcheng's production company lowers its head to remake the film, Optoelectronics will not pass the review quickly.At that time, I'm afraid, as Tao Mu said, "Black and White" will miss the best time for its release in the Mainland.The only one who suffers in the end is the producer of "Black and White".

With this in mind, Xu Musen had to enlist Tao Mu's help.

With the memory of his previous life as a basis, Tao Mu also knew that the crew of "Black and White" had been working with the light bars for a year, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, bowed his head, admitted his mistake and changed the script.In the end, because of missing the best schedule, it only got a miserable experience of 800 million box office after it was released.

At that time, Tao Mu was oppressed by Shen Yu's admirers, and in the entertainment circle, everyone basically shouted and beat him.And because Xu Musen supported Shen Yu's decision to win the PR Golden Crow Award for Best Newcomer, his relationship with the crew of "Black and White" was not good.Knowing this incident, it was too late to gloat, and of course I would not feel it was a pity.

But if the position has changed in this life, the angle of looking at things will naturally change.Tao Mu really felt that it would be a pity if "Black and White" could not be released in the Mainland.

But the matter of changing the script - Tao Mu is not a professional screenwriter, of course he will not change the script.After thinking about it, I can only give revision suggestions based on the many film reviews I have read in my previous life, combined with my own thoughts.

Speaking of it, the revised mainland re-release of "Black and White" in the previous life is really weird.I don't know what Xu Musen was thinking, but actually asked the screenwriter to change Zhou Yuanting into Bai Lianhua—according to the requirements of Optoelectronics, the villain must obey the law.So Xu Musen's revised script turned out to be that Zhou Yuanting found out his conscience after seeing Yan Yu defending him from a gun, and turned himself in to the police.He also volunteered to become a double agent for the police, and cheated the gang boss.In the end, both of them went to jail.

It is conceivable that when Tao Mu in his previous life received the adapted script, his inner feelings were more than a "fucking trough" that can be described, it was simply thousands of "grass mud horses" roaring past his heart.Not to mention that Zhou Yuanting and the boss of the gang have collapsed, the idea of ​​the whole script is completely untenable.Compared with the ending of the classic version of Xiangcheng, the modified version in the Mainland can only be described as "the dog's tail continues the mink".

After the mainland version passed the review and was released, die-hard fans who had already seen the pirated version of "Black and White" bought tickets to go to the cinema, and could only curse after watching it.I think the mainland remake of "Black and White" is like flying down three thousand feet, and the final ending is like a diabetes collapse.More and more netizens are complaining and complaining online. The crew of "Black and White" took advantage of the situation and pushed this black pot to Optoelectronics.In fact, it is not a scapegoat. After all, the crew of "Black and White" did modify the script according to the requirements of Optoelectronics.Optoelectronics finally passed the review.Reviewing a classic work into a shoddy comedy story will have to be done by photoelectricity.

But Optoelectronics does not want to take the blame.And think that the production team of "Black and White" definitely did it on purpose.The two works deliberately created such a disparity in art, so that Optoelectronics could not get off the stage.This is definitely a manifestation of rebellion in the back of the head and failure to stand upright after being beaten.

So for a long time, Optoelectronics disliked Xu Musen.However, it is very difficult for any film directed by Xu Musen to pass the review in the Mainland.And even if you pass the review with difficulty, you won't be able to get a good schedule when you schedule the schedule.This situation has been going on for several years.Until the mainland film market developed, the Xiangcheng film market completely declined.

To be honest, part of the reason why Xu Musen changed the remade script to that was really out of anger.I want the masters of Optoelectronics to see what the script revised according to their review requirements is.I want to slap my face secretly.But other than that, Xu Musen didn't understand the way of optoelectronics at all, and the root cause was that he didn't understand how the so-called political correctness should be done.

You asked a Xiangcheng screenwriter who grew up in Xiangcheng and studied in Xiangcheng to revise a classic work that echoes the main theme of the mainland. The difficulty factor is much higher than that of simply asking Xiangcheng screenwriters to create a classic work up.

So Xu Musen is holding back bad, and if he doesn't understand, he really doesn't understand.Xu Musen and the screenwriter couldn't be blamed for things getting like that in the end.

But Tao Mu was different.In his past and present lives, Tao Mu has seen so many classic works that echo the main theme.To use a common saying to describe it, even if you have never seen a pig run, you have eaten pork.After personally supervising and producing an anti-war drama with the main theme, and following a professional screenwriting team to enrich the script of a military drama with the main theme, Tao Mu has some ideas about how to modify the script of "Black and White".

Out of the consideration of the integrity of the script and the profundity of the characters, Tao Mu felt that even if the villain should be punished in the end, it must not be such a difficult change as "influenced".Instead, we can make a fuss about the male lead played by Yan Sheng and the details that Zhou Yuanting slept with the eldest mistress in the script.

"Can we modify it like this..." Tao Mu was silent for a moment, smoothed his thoughts, and said slowly: "After Yan Sheng learned that Zhou Yuanting had become black, in order to provoke the relationship between Zhou Yuanting and the boss, he deliberately put Zhou Yuanting to sleep. The news of the sister-in-law leaked out. The big boss had a grudge against Zhou Yuanting, but he relied heavily on Zhou Yuanting's ability, so he stood still. But he was going to put all the crimes on Zhou Yuanting's head when he escaped. Let Zhou Yuanting be a scapegoat. Zhou Yuanting noticed in advance The gangster’s calculations were not exposed, but he used his tricks and planned to kill the boss. As a result, the snipe and the clam fought, and the police led by Yan Sheng benefited. They wiped out the two villains.”

Tao Mu paused, and said, "I'm not a professional screenwriter either. I'll just provide some ideas. How to change it specifically depends on the screenwriter's opinion. If Director Xu is not at ease, I can also let people from my screenwriting team Help me take a look. It is the screenwriter who revised the script of "The Great Wall of Flesh" before. Although the anti-war drama is different from the police drama, some core aspects should be common. You can sit down and discuss it slowly."

As long as he has a clue, he can take the revised script to Optoelectronics for review.After the photoelectric finalizes the decision, the crew of "Black and White" can immediately prepare for shooting.You can also make a time difference, use the attitude of Optoelectronics to negotiate with the mainland theaters, and first finalize the schedule.

Xu Musen was so anxious and annoyed by the photoelectric card that he really didn't have a clue.Hearing Tao Mu's thoughtful suggestion, he was overjoyed.He didn't take advantage of Tao Mu, and said directly: "I'll listen to you. You come to Xiangcheng as soon as possible, and we will first finalize the share of your film production in the mainland. The rest will be handled by you."

Tao Mu said: "These are all easy to handle. But there is one thing, when handing over the script to Optoelectronics, we have to have a dinner..."

Tao Mu didn't continue, but Xu Musen understood.Immediately interface: "Do you want me to serve wine to apologize? Hey!"

Xu Musen sighed, and said with a self-mockery: "To tell you the truth, I'm really devastated right now. As long as we can resolve the matter of review as soon as possible, "Black and White" will be released in the mainland as scheduled. Don't tell me you're going to drink to make amends. If I want to drink until my stomach vomits blood, I am also willing."
