SCT-Novel Chapter 443: Professor Do was a soldier aiding Korea?
Chapter 443: Professor Do was a soldier aiding Korea?
Su Zhe hardly watched Korean dramas in his previous life, so he could not be called an expert on Korean dramas. He could only recall them based on his impressions. Korean TV dramas were once just little brothers. They were introduced to China in the 1990s, but they hardly made any splashes. However, they developed rapidly after the 21st century, forming a huge "Korean Wave" in China and even in Asia. For example, Su Zhe has not watched tear-jerking Korean dramas such as "Autumn in My Heart" and "Winter Sonata", but he has heard of their names. Korean drama memes such as "leukemia", "siblings", and "car accidents" also come from these dramas. "Can these tear-jerking Korean dramas be copied? In the past, Koreans tricked us into crying, and now it's my turn to trick them?" Su Zhe thought about it and crossed out these names. When these dramas were popular, Su Zhe was still young and had not watched them. Moreover, he felt that such tear-jerking love dramas, even if they were classics, would hardly become popular now. After this batch of tear-jerking dramas, the only Korean drama that Su Zhe remembered was "Dae Jang Geum". This drama is even more amazing. Not only do young female viewers like to watch it, but even many older male viewers are also following the drama.
Su Zhe still remembers that people around him were discussing the grand occasion of "Dae Jang Geum".
But he is a Chinese, but it is very strange for him to shoot a Korean historical drama. Not only do Koreans find it awkward, but also Chinese people will find it awkward.
"It's better not to ask for criticism."
Su Zhe quickly crossed out the name of "Dae Jang Geum".
Next, the third wave of popular dramas he knew was "My Love from the Star".
This drama was really popular back then. It was not like some popular dramas that were only popular among the audience. This drama even made the audience who didn't usually follow the drama start to discuss it, which was considered to be popular outside the circle.
The classic clips were paid tribute in the variety show, and the fried chicken + beer set meal was popular offline.
——People who had girlfriends at that time should have followed to eat it.
"My Love from the Star? I haven't watched it!" Su Zhe thought to himself, "Well, I could have watched it once! I could have copied it directly."
He thought about it and remembered that he was forced to watch some clips, was inexplicably recommended content, and watched the general plot through short videos.
These are not enough to write a complete script.
But the popularity of My Love from the Star made it difficult for Su Zhe to give up.
He hesitated for a moment and simply came to Long Aotian, and found that several directors and stars who came to seek cooperation were also discussing cooperation between China and Korea.
They envied the success of Korean dramas:
"The most important thing is to relax the review. Korea used to be a dumping ground for Hong Kong films, and it took off after the review was relaxed. Our review is so strict, dancing with shackles, how can we make excellent works?"
"They have national support and regard entertainment as a national strategy. What about us? They will be banned if there is a small mistake, which is too harsh."
These people in the circle only talk about relaxing the review and national support, which are all old talk, just want to expand their power.
Su Zhe heard what they said, and asked Zhang Hongwei: "Who are these?" Zhang Hongwei quietly introduced him to the directors in the industry. They heard about the cooperation between China and South Korea, so they came here to cooperate quickly. Not only did Su Zhe want to take this opportunity to enter the South Korean market, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to enter the market influenced by Korean dramas. South Korea also coveted the huge domestic film and television drama market, and planned to shoot their own film and television dramas to enter the domestic market. Only when each party gets what it needs can they cooperate. Compared with ambitious people like Su Zhe, who want to counterattack South Korea with the Korean drama market. More people in the domestic industry want to cooperate with South Korea, remake each other's classic film and television dramas, and make money in the domestic market where "people are stupid and rich". Isn't it easier to make money lying down than to go to the "bitter cold land" to conquer the market? That's why they came to Long Aotian, holding some scripts adapted from classic Korean dramas and movies, and wanted to cooperate with Long Aotian. Su Zhe despised them in his heart, especially when he saw a bald director, he felt particularly hateful, and said lightly: "In my opinion, the key to the success of Korean dramas is the screenwriter-centered system, or the creator-centered system." No matter whether the creator is a screenwriter, a director, or an actor, whoever can create has the final say. (The creator is not necessarily the screenwriter. For example, Uncle Long and Star Master, no matter who the director and screenwriter are, their movies are full of personal colors, and they are the main creators. And Brother Fa, who was called the same at the time, is not a creator, but the favorite executor of the big director.) In the field of TV dramas, the creator is usually the screenwriter, which has become the "screenwriter-centered system." - In fact, most TV dramas in the United States, Japan and other places are like this. Under this system, the screenwriter has the most authoritative status. Unless they meet top big names, directors and actors cannot modify the script without authorization, and they have a say in every link of selecting actors, determining the name of the play and marketing promotion. Even variety shows have a large group of screenwriters who are responsible for designing game links and even helping stars design scripts that fit their personalities. ——Watch the behind-the-scenes of Korean variety shows a few times and you will know that celebrities bow to variety show screenwriters and call them teachers.
At the same time, the screenwriter is also the highest person responsible for the performance of the TV series. Once the reputation and performance are not good, they will naturally be affected.
This is also the original requirement of the central system - power and responsibility are consistent.
Hearing his words, the bald director who came to seek cooperation looked a little indignant.
He has someone behind him. He can thrive in the circle with a very bad reputation. He has some confidence and does not need to beg Su Zhe. He simply said:
"Mr. Su means that our country is star-centered, isn't that normal?"
He was setting a trap for Su Zhe. If Su Zhe admitted it, it would be equivalent to accusing stars of not having the privileges of the crew, but giving them to the screenwriters instead, which would surely cause the indignation of the stars in the circle.
As for the screenwriter's agreement? With such a low status, it's useless to speak.
Su Zhe smiled. In fact, in his opinion, China can't even be considered a star-centered system.
The crew is decided by the stars, who can modify the script at will and get the highest pay - this seems to be a star-centered system.
But once the TV series fails, the stars will pat their butts and leave, leaving the director and screenwriter to take the blame.
This can only be said that there is no central system in the domestic film and television industry, it is just a makeshift team.
Only some creators who have become famous through their works can enjoy similar rights.
The most typical representative is Su Zhe himself. As a screenwriter, he is the most famous screenwriter in the country. No star dares to change his script, and the director is just his executor.
But this is obviously not the norm. It is impossible to require every creator to be like Su Zhe, with a large number of fans, his own company, and sufficient funds.
That's why Su Zhe established the Screenwriter Center in Long Aotian, gradually improving their status, giving them some power, and constantly eliminating and updating them.
Giving all the power and responsibility is called the center system.
But there is no need to say these words to these people, let alone make them public in the circle.
Although he is not worried about offending people, why bother?
If other entertainment companies in the circle don't recognize the importance of creators, they will die sooner or later;
If they recognize it and follow his footsteps, then China's works will get better and better.
In any case, Su Zhe will not lose.
This is the key to the "theory of evolution" - not to let the outdated people evolve, but to let them "die".
So Su Zhe directly drove away these "adaptation directors" who were like carrion crows and came to Long Aotian's Screenwriter Center.
The screenwriters also heard part of Su Zhe's remarks and were very excited to know that he intended to improve the status of screenwriters.
Su Zhe didn't say much, and directly handed them the script outline of "My Love from the Star" and assigned them a task-"The protagonist of this drama, Do Min Joon, has lived from ancient times to modern times, which requires a lot of details, especially the verification of ancient details." "By the way, find a Korean screenwriter to write together, and don't make mistakes that will make the locals laugh." Su Zhe can only provide the plot outline based on his previous life's understanding, but the details of the TV series are very important and related to the final success or failure. All of these require the screenwriters to work together. The screenwriters were also very excited. Su Zhe not only paid high fees, but also gave them signatures and power. If they performed well, they could even participate in the casting. Moreover, the "screenwriter-centered system" pie that Su Zhe drew was really delicious. Next, someone gave Su Zhe a suggestion: "Mr. Su, since it is a co-production between China and Korea, and Do Min Joon is an alien, why let him land in Korea?" In the script outline (original film) given by Su Zhe, the male protagonist, the alien Do Min Joon, landed in the Korean region in 1609 and lived for more than 400 years until modern times. The screenwriter suggested:
"Why not let Do Min Joon come to China 17 years earlier, in 1592?"
"But this is a Chinese-British co-production. If Do Min Joon comes to China, what does the Korean have to do?"
Su Zhe was explaining that he didn't want aliens to come to Korea, but to enter the Korean market.
But he thought about the time "1592" and suddenly realized it, laughing:
"Wanli aid Korea? You are amazing!"
Our most profound impression of the Korean War is probably the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.
During this aid Korea, the Koreans were the ones who were beaten, and they were beaten badly.
But before that, China had always been the protector of the Koreans, helping them maintain peace.
For example, in 1592, Toyotomi Hideyoshi led the Japanese to invade Korea, which the Koreans called "Imjin Japanese Rebellion".
At this time, the Ming Dynasty was in the Wanli period. The famous general Li Rusong led troops to aid Korea and achieved a great victory, driving away the Japanese invaders, which indirectly led to Toyotomi Hideyoshi being replaced by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
In this way, Do Minjun, who landed in China, could enter Korea with the aiding Korean army, and the story would follow naturally.
For domestic audiences, although Do Minjun is an alien, he is half Chinese after landing in China, so Su Zhe's role is more acceptable.
For South Korea, Do Minjun is an alien anyway, so it is acceptable.
What's even better is that the Wanli aid to Korea is a friendly moment recognized by both China and South Korea.
As the saying goes, the friendship between China and South Korea depends on the Japanese. Talking about the friendship of ancestors and scolding the Japanese pirates for their wolfish ambitions together, this co-production drama will be easier to promote.
After Su Zhe figured it out, he laughed and patted the screenwriter on the shoulder:
"Great, you have a broad mind, just follow this!"
The other party laughed and said:
"Boss Su is too perceptive, I only told you a time, and you understood everything. To be honest, I have written scripts for other stars before, pretending to know everything, and being stubborn."
Compared with those people, Su Zhe, a boss who knows scriptwriting and creation, is easy and pleasant to get along with!
Su Zhe smiled and said:
"Keep working hard! Let's work together, use the routines of Korean dramas, and go to the hometown of Korean dramas to let them taste the taste of "Chinese wave"! "
After this discussion, Su Zhe had greater confidence in the screenwriter-centered version of "My Love from the Star".
He simply contacted Lin Shan'er without waiting for the script to come out, asking her if she wanted to play the heroine Cheon Song-yi.
Cheon Song-yi is a big star in the play, and Lin Shan'er can play it as herself.
Of course, there are many actors in South Korea who can play Cheon Song-yi, so which female star can't play it as herself?
But such a good role made Jun Ji-hyun popular again in China after years of silence in the previous life, so Su Zhe must take care of his old friend.
But Lin Shan'er didn't answer the phone. After receiving the message, she only replied a few words:
"Brother is so cold, it's been more than a year since he thought of his sister?"
Su Zhe saw the reply and was sweating.
Back then, after confirming his relationship with You Mengli, he gradually stopped contacting Lin Shan'er.
Later, Su Zhe "had a clear mind" (broken jar), but he didn't know what to say to Lin Shan'er.
It has been awkward until now.
Lin Shaner did not continue to make things difficult for him, but asked:
"Do you want to participate in "National Glory"?
"National Glory?" Su Zhe asked curiously, "Is it the competition variety show between China, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia?"
Lin Shaner confirmed his guess, but he did not expect that the name had been decided.
Su Zhe immediately replied:
"Of course, I am still the main C."
"That's called the captain, that's right, now that President Su is so powerful, he must be the captain of China." After Lin Shaner made a yin and yang remark, he continued, "China and Japan will compete first. If you lead the team to a big victory, I will forgive you."
Of course, Lin Shaner did not need to say that Su Zhe could not lose to the devil, otherwise he would be scolded to death by passers-by in China.
Wait, if he loses to the Koreans, he will be scolded too?
If he loses to the Indians... he may not be scolded, but he can't afford to lose that person.
Su Zhe calculated that it seems that if he loses to any country, he will be scolded.
After all, the name is "National Glory". Fighting for the country does not only represent himself.
"This show is really exciting."
Su Zhe couldn't help but sigh, and took the opportunity to ask Lin Shan'er for information.
As far as Lin Shan'er knows, each country can set up its own competitive projects, ensuring that everyone has an advantageous project.
Lin Shan'er said it was a complaint, but he couldn't help but advise him:
"You must choose an advantageous project that you are good at, and don't compete in the devil's project."
Su Zhe thought thoughtfully. As a participating guest, it is better to participate in an advantageous project. It is easy to win, so you won't be criticized, and you can become a "national hero".
But if you participate in the opponent's advantageous project...
Su Zhe suddenly realized:
"So the selection of projects is the key for the guests to compete... But now Lin Shan'er knows the inside story of "National Glory", why didn't anyone inform me?"
