The audience’s aesthetics have changed.
In the past, audiences liked tough guys, but later... they liked sissy...
In the past, audiences liked to look for truth, goodness and beauty in film and television works, mainly because the authorities also promoted this kind of value.
Later, reality became more and more cruel, housing prices became higher and higher, Mr. Zhao became more and more excessive, and the audience gradually adapted to the society. It became increasingly difficult for those high-profile characters to take on the role.
That's why "In the Name of the People" is so popular, but the popularity of the male protagonist Hou Liangping is actually not as popular as that of Qi Tongwei, one of the villains.
Don't blame the audience for their incorrect views. There are many reasons, and the biggest reason is that Gao Daquan's protagonist setting is so unrealistic that the audience can't relate to it at all.
And those villains who have their own selfish desires are more likely to resonate with the audience.
Everyone has selfish motives, and no one can be completely selfless, so it is difficult for the audience to sympathize with the protagonist. Instead, they feel that if they encounter the villain's experience, they may not be able to do better than the villain.
In more and more TV series and movies, the villain attracts more fans than the protagonist, and the second male or female lead is more liked by the audience than the protagonist. This is a general trend.
But few celebrities in the entertainment industry have noticed this.
Yue Guan naturally knew the best, so he had no intention of shaping the little emperor into a perfect image from the beginning.
This kind of request sounds incredible to other celebrities.
But Wang Jing likes it very much.
Because a TV series needs villains. If they are all positive characters, there will be no plot conflict.
Now that Gao Yuanyuan wants to go all-out and Yue Guan has an imperfect character, he will have a lot of room to play when he re-creates the script.
Wang Jing really didn't expect that Yue Guan would ask like this. He thought that Yue Guan would take the opportunity to let him play a more positive role, but he didn't expect that Yue Guan would do the opposite.
He couldn't help but asked again: "Yue Guan, are you sure?"
Yue Guan nodded: "Sure, director, you can make the role of the little emperor more cold-blooded and rational. You can even use the protagonist group, and then destroy the protagonist group backhand. There is no need to distinguish good from evil for the little emperor. I like controversy. Sexual characters, such as Jiajing in "Ming Dynasty 1566"."
Wang Jing gave Yue Guan a thumbs up: "You have a discerning eye, Yue Guan, I'm optimistic about you."
Everyone thought Wang Jing was being polite.
Only Yue Guan could feel that Wang Jing was serious.
Nowadays, among the most popular actor-level actors, who is not good and evil
Focusing only on stars who play positive roles, the upper limit is always limited.
Wang Jing was so easy to talk to, and Yue Guan reciprocated the favor and made another suggestion: "Director, please make the background empty."
"Empty? Why?" Wang Jing was surprised.
Yue Guan's answer made Wang Jing blush: "If we don't set up the background, given the historical setting of our drama and your historical literacy, history lovers may directly reject our drama. For example, Ming Ming There is no such an awesome imperial uncle in the imperial court, and there is something wrong with Zhu Wuli’s setting.”
Wang Jing coughed loudly and decisively ended the script reading.
The others dispersed, and Gao Yuanyuan pulled Yue Guan aside and asked: "Why do you want me to play a scheming girl? If I don't clear my name, it will damage my image."
Yue Guan smiled: "Sister Yuanyuan, calm down. Let me ask you, is there any silly and sweet female character that has left a deep impression on the audience in recent years?"
Gao Yuanyuan thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything.
"Is there any other actress who has become famous by playing the kind of traditional kind-hearted and infatuated female characters?" Yue Guan continued to ask.
Gao Yuanyuan finally remembered a few people: "The Three Beauties of Immortal Sword? Liu Yifei's Zhao Ling'er?"
Yue Guan: "..."
This is so embarrassing.
Not so disruptive.
"They are popular because of the IP and appearance of Fairy Sword, and it has nothing to do with the characters." Yue Guan's explanation was very weak.
But Gao Yuanyuan believed it: "I also think they are all vases."
Yue Guan: "..." What you said is different.
Of course he would not express his true thoughts. He coughed lightly and explained patiently: "Times have changed. Sister Yuanyuan, don't you feel that the ability of villains to attract fans is gradually getting stronger?"
Gao Yuanyuan shook her head: "I don't feel it."
Yue Guan: "..."
It's normal not to feel anything.
In 2010, this trend was not too obvious.
After all, the main protagonists of "The Pretender", "In the Name of the People", "All Quiet in Peking" and other rushers have not yet appeared.
Of course, in "The Pretender" the heroine chases the guests, while in the following two films the male and female protagonists both chase the guests...
But the show was still a hit.
Because the supporting characters have such a strong ability to attract fans.
"After filming "The Best in the World", you will have a feeling. It is just a TV series. Sister Yuanyuan, you can treat it as an experiment. Ye Xuan's Shangguan Haitang and Huang Shengyi's Yagyu Yuki are both traditional The positive role of you, you are not too much, just different from them."
Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Yue Guan and did not ask any more questions. She just nodded and said: "I will listen to you this time. If the audience elevates you to yourself because of your role, remember to pay me a song."
"Compensating for songs doesn't matter. Compensating for people is fine." Yue Guanqi said.
"Bah, you have a beautiful idea." Gao Yuanyuan gave Yue Guan a charming look.
…
Wang Jing is a quick shooter.
Yue Guan originally thought that revising the script would take some time, but he never expected that three days later, Wang Jing had already completed the new script.
And he was really satisfied with the modifications.
Although in the eyes of others, Wang Jing was completely messing with him.
The revised script of "The Best in the World" followed Yue Guan's suggestion and chose an imaginary background to avoid errors in historical settings.
The characters of the four main protagonists have basically not changed much, except that they have become more silly and sweet. Zhu Wuwu's character design has not changed much, because Zhu Wuwu has the most complete character in this drama, and it will basically not be changed if he is replaced by Yue Guan.
Wang Jing focused on revising the characters and plots of Cao Zhengchun, Little Emperor, and Yagyu Shengpiaoxu.
According to Li's suggestions, Cao Zhengchun was modified into a typical eunuch of power, ruthless yet cute. The latter is what Wang Jing is good at, and it is also the key to whether Cao Zhengchun's character can stand out.
The changes to the Little Emperor and Yagyu Piaoxu are relatively large, and Wang Jing has fundamentally modified the settings of the two.
Wang Jing did not change the plot of the Queen Mother being kidnapped from the palace, but instead laid a foreshadowing.
The original script was about the envoy of the Izumo Kingdom, Princess Toshihide, and his entourage being ambushed and killed on their way to the Middle Earth. The princesses and the entourage that the emperor saw were all disguised, and were used by people who pretended to be envoys and wanted to assassinate the emperor. The martial arts is the martial arts of the Japanese Yagyu sect, which leads to the past of Duan Tianya and the collusion between Shenhou and the Japanese Yagyu sect.
The newly revised script changed everything to be directed and acted by the little emperor.
The little emperor noticed that Zhu Wuwu had colluded with the Japanese Yagyu sect, so he used the trick to subdue the hidden figure of Yagyu Piaoxu in advance, and then let her continue to lurk in the Yagyu sect. With the help of Liu Shengpiaoxu, the little emperor knew everything well, but the power of the god was so powerful that he could not match it for the time being, so he took advantage of the situation and invited you to step into the urn and take the initiative to direct a big play.
Then with the help of this drama, Liu Shengpiaoxu got on the line with the four spies with the tacit approval of Shenhou, and the four spies gradually unearthed the secrets between Zhu Wuwu and the Yagyu faction.
In the process, the four spies gradually discovered Zhu Wuwu's true face, became alienated from him, and gradually tilted their stance towards the little emperor.
However, Cao Zhengchun stood between the four spies and the little emperor, making the four spies always have a grudge against the emperor.
In order to completely win the trust of the four secret spies and paralyze the Iron Dan Lord, the little emperor chose to give up on Cao Zhengchun and took the initiative to push Cao Zhengchun into the dead end that Zhu Wu had set for him.
Zhu Wuwu killed Cao Zhengchun and was very satisfied. He thought that he was invincible in the world. At this time, Su Xin had recovered and the beauty was by his side. It was time to seize the country.
After Zhu Wuli decided to rebel, the young emperor instructed Yagyu Shengpiaoxu to go on a killing spree in the name of the Yagyu sect, killing Zhongliang, and most of the people he killed were those loyal to him.
There is no doubt that the blame falls on Zhu Wuwu.
Seeing Zhu Wuwu's perverse behavior, the four secret spies could no longer sit back and watch. They completely stood on the opposite side of Zhu Wuwu and met Zhu Wuwu with swords and swords.
At the critical moment, the little emperor sent someone to see Su Xin and promised Su Xin that he would make Cheng Shifei and Princess Yunluo prosperous and wealthy for the rest of their lives.
Su Xin got the little emperor's guarantee and chose to commit suicide for the sake of her son's future. Zhu Mingli collapsed completely and died at the hands of four spies.
The Hulong Villa vanished into thin air, the four secret agents hid in the world, and the little emperor took sole control of the power, with no more constraints.
At the end of the script, the little emperor is in the royal study, with two secret books on the table:
"The Indestructible Magic Power" and "The Great Technique of Absorbing Power".
It was Gu Santong and Zhu Guli who had invincible magical skills.
In front of the little emperor, there are willow trees and catkins.
She was ready to hide herself behind the scenes.
"Your Majesty, the next generation of wise kings must not have any stains. Piaoxu's hands are full of blood and his sins are serious. Please give Piaoxu a whole corpse."
The little emperor stood up, walked to the window, stood with his hands behind his hands, and said calmly: "Piaoxu, you made a mistake."
"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."
"It is not that an emperor without stains can become a wise king, but that after becoming an emperor, there will be no stains in the history books."
The little emperor was thin in stature and spoke plainly, but he had a domineering aura that convinced Yagyu Shengpiaoxu: "The long history is all written by the victors. You don't need to test me. I have promised to help you unify the Japanese martial arts world." , I will keep my promise.”
Liu Sheng Piaoxu smiled sweetly, and his clothes naturally fell off: "Your Majesty, would you like Piaoxu to recommend himself as a pillow?"
The little emperor did not look back and said calmly: "The word love is the most harmful. If Zhu Wuli didn't use his love too deeply, he might not lose to me. I will never like any woman in my life, I will only place my love on thousands of miles of country. You have been two-faced and murderous all your life, and in your heart you only have power and martial arts. If this is the case, then let it always be like this."
Liu Shengpiaoxu took a deep look at the little emperor, and then left the palace without looking back.
The little emperor stood with his hands behind his back, his figure lonely and silent.
After reading the entire script, Yue Guan was very surprised.
How long has it been since we haven’t seen this kind of character in a domestic TV series who can break away from the emotional drama between men and women and focus on his career
Liu Sheng Piaoxu is already stunning enough when it comes to the dark side, and the Little Emperor's love for thousands of miles of mountains and rivers adds to the depth of the entire drama.
He liked the revised script very much.
