Chapter 696 The biggest problem
"The women of the Yang family?" Shao Yifu pondered.
"Yes, the women of the Yang family." Qiao Feng nodded: "She Taijun, Mu Guiying, eighth sister and ninth sister Yang Paifeng, etc., in Mu Guiying's command, the twelve widows' campaign in the West, whether in the storytelling novels or storytelling operas, they are not just embellishments of the Yang family. I think the audience will definitely like to watch it by taking out the women of the Yang family alone to shoot a TV series. After all, no matter when, the heroines are praised."
"This idea is good. However, the Yang family generals we filmed at the time were only a few short episodes. Even the story of the Yang family man was not told well. Is it going to film the story of the Yang family woman affecting the audience's acceptance?" Shao Yifu felt that Qiao Feng's idea was not impossible, but he was a little worried about filming the story of the Yang family woman.
"Well." Qiao Feng paused, and he carefully considered Shao Yifu's words.
Shao Yifu's worries are actually unnecessary, because even if he hasn't seen the Yang family's generals, those who don't know Yang family Qilang and Bahu will not affect their stories about the Yang family's women.
Because, first of all, there will be some explanation at the beginning of the TV series, and the story of the Yang family’s women itself has nothing to do with the men of the Yang family. After all, the seven sons of the Yang family, except for the sixth, the fourth, and the fifth, all died.
The fourth brother became the son-in-law of the Liao Kingdom, and the fifth brother became a monk in Wutai Mountain, leaving only the sixth brother.
These three can only be regarded as regulators for the plot and play a driving role. What remains are the emotional lines between several women from the Yang family and Mu Guiying and her man Yang Zongbao.
But it is not unreasonable to say Shao Yifu's words. That is, if you tell the story of the Yang family man, it will inevitably be of great help to improve the ratings of the Yang family woman's TV series.
Shaw Brothers filmed the Yang Family Generals. The 1985 Taiwanese anniversary drama is the Yang Family Generals filmed by Shaw Brothers, who gathered almost all the old actors in the stars. But as Shao Yifu said, that Taiwanese anniversary drama actually did not tell the story of the Yang Family Generals.
The entire TVB team has all the elites, and its lineup is unprecedented and has no future. It shows the most brilliant era of TVB's talented people, but what is shot is a myth.
The story begins in 960 AD. Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of Song Dynasty, was killed by his younger brother Taizong. Zhao Kuangyin was killed by Zhao Guangyi, so he went to heaven to complain to the Jade Emperor. Then, in order to punish Zhao Guangyi, the Jade Emperor sent the Red Bearded Dragon Mother to the earth to help Liao disturb the Song Dynasty. However, the Song Dynasty had not finished the number of days, so the three gods of Tianpeng, Wenquxing and Tianjixing came down to the earth to assist the Song Dynasty. During the time when Tianpeng God (i.e. Yang Ye) accidentally injured the mountain rat demon (i.e. Pan Hong), and made a grudge with him. The Liao Kingdom raised an army to invade Song, and began the story of the Yang family generals helping Song to fight against Liao.
The Eight Immortals, Guanyin, Lishan Lao Mother, Jiutian Xuannv and other gods took turns to appear. So there was a shot of Zhao Yazhi's Guanyin, Lishan Lao Mother, Zhang Manyu's Jiutian Xuannv in two or three shots, Wan Ziliang's Han Xiangzi, Zheng Yuling's He Xiangu......
Although the lineup is strong and the ratings are high, after all, this Yang Family Generals, which took a week to gather all the elites in Taiwan, was just a farce.
When viewers watch this TV series, they may not care much about the plot as much as one, two, three... more stars come.
Such a TV series is probably impossible to give the audience a deep understanding of the Yang family.
After thinking for a long time, Qiao Feng spoke: "Mr. Shao's worries are not unreasonable, so why not do this. Our Taiwanese anniversary drama this year will simply shoot two films, one filmed by the man in the Yang family, the other filmed by the woman in the Yang family, the other is called the female general of the Yang family."
"Haha, it's easy to say. It's August now, and it's only more than two months before the Taiwan anniversary. The two TV series are still stories of the Yang family. Whoever writes the script can be written in a short time. Could it be that, Mr. Qiao, are you writing it?" Fang Yihua looked at Qiao Feng with a sarcastic look.
"Yihua..." Shao Yifu glared at Fang Yihua with some anger.
The old man felt very upset. He didn't know how much he had to say to Mao Fang Yihua about Qiao Feng. He had told her how many times he had told her not to get along with Qiao Feng. As a result, every time the two met, Fang Yihua couldn't help but make trouble first.
With long hair and short knowledge, Shao Yifu couldn't help but think of this eternal evaluation. He really felt that this was too true. Women are just small in shape and small intent, and always have no view of the overall situation when it comes to their own interests.
Just when Shao Yifu glared at Fang Yihua and wanted Qiao Feng not to mind, he heard Qiao Feng say three words lightly.
“Yes, I write.”
"What?" Fang Yihua looked at Qiao Feng in a daze. She wondered if she had heard it wrong.
You, Qiao Feng, is awesome and the most powerful screenwriter in Hong Kong. Everyone admits this, but this is not good enough to write a movie script.
You are so awesome about the movie script, so it’s fine to write it out in one day. After all, how long is the movie? Hollywood movies are only about two hours long enough, while Hong Kong movies are even between 80 minutes and 90 minutes, just one and a half hours.
But, is this a TV script good? And just now, Shao Yifu and Qiao Feng mean that they are not going to have a short drama.
In other words, it starts at least fifteen episodes, which is the shortest. Both TV series have to be thirty episodes in total.
Even if it's very fast, it's almost done to write an episode a day.
You are a busy person, so you can't deal with so many things every day. How much time can you spend to write the script? Even if you can, you can write the script for more than a month or two.
But then you still have to take pictures, can you hurry up?
Fang Yihua felt that he thought Qiao Feng the most and could not handle these two TV series before the Taiwan Celebration Month.
But how could she know that writing scripts is different from others writing scripts.
When others write scripts, they still think about plots, main lines of the story, and the development of characters. This is also the reason why Fang Yihua thinks it is impossible, because just thinking about these is actually very difficult, let alone writing them in the script format.
Moreover, Qiao Feng is different from other screenwriters. Other screenwriters write a script to follow the crew. With the current filming method of wireless, many times the screenwriters write scripts on the spot and then modify the scripts on the spot. They even modify the subsequent scripts according to the broadcast response and the requirements of the audience, and reduce or extend the series.
In this model, it is not to say that if you find a screenwriter to not be able to shoot a Yang Family General in more than two months. Both are actually OK, just find a few screenwriters to write together.
However, for Taiwanese anniversary dramas, such a model is not desirable. Because it is absolutely impossible to have no plans without a plan, and those without detailed scripts will start filming directly.
If you don’t talk about the many, you have to write a whole outline and then write half of the detailed scripts of seven or eight episodes. After review, you can only prepare for the filming after you feel it is OK.
Just like the Taiwanese anniversary drama I was prepared this year, this drama is directed by Ace producer Wei Jiahui and starring Ren Dahua, Wen Zhaolun and Lan Jieying.
Since two months ago, Wei Jiahui has started writing scripts and has revised several times in major tunes, a total of twenty episodes of TV series. Wei Jiahui has spent one and a half months to determine the final script.
Then start casting, making up, and preparing for the crew. It is estimated that the filming will start in ten days and half a month.
This is still ace screenwriter like Wei Jiahui, and other screenwriters will take longer.
But Qiao Feng had a ready-made TV series in his head that could be plagiarized, which was also the confidence he said calmly that I wrote.
