It turns out that this group of screenwriters really has something.
After Yue Guan briefly introduced the background of "The Gatekeepers of the World", they began to use their imagination.
Xiao Ji Xiangtian came up and proposed a direction that Yue Guan was very interested in:
"Your Majesty, have you heard of the SCP Foundation?"
Yue Guan nodded: "Of course, the SCP Foundation is an online forum with a theme of various supernatural phenomena, objects or creatures, etc. It is also the name of an organization in the system.
The operation of the 'SCP Foundation' is not subject to the interference of any national organization. Its goal is to contain abnormal phenomena, events, individuals, etc. in the world, which are collectively referred to as 'contained objects'.
Each contained object will have a corresponding number. These 'contained objects' can not only pose physical danger to people, but also have a psychological impact on people around the world, shaking their personal beliefs and interfering with their daily lives. The SCP Foundation is dedicated to controlling these anomalies and containing them, protecting the world without being known to the outside world.
It's quite similar to some of my ideas, but as you know, this shooting is definitely not possible in China. "
"Of course, we definitely can't copy them all. It's not in line with our country's national conditions." Xiao Ji Xiangtian also understood the reason.
The script of "Soul Ferry" is very different from the script he originally wrote, let alone a play like Yue Guan's obvious influence that will definitely exceed that of "Soul Ferry".
Although the review standards in this world are much looser, it is definitely not possible to let yourself go too far. For details, please refer to "The Ballad of the Desert".
"Just change it and set up an organization that suits our country's national conditions. This shouldn't be difficult."
"It's not difficult at all. The original setting of the Human Gatekeepers Organization is very similar to that of the SCP Foundation. What I'm troubled about is not the organizational issue, but how the organization should run its structure, and I need some distinctive group portrait protagonists and some ordinary characters. line of supernatural events.”
In fact, there is also a background setting, but Yue Guan does not expect this group of screenwriters to help solve this problem.
There is no big problem with the concept of "The Gatekeeper of the World". This kind of drama cannot be filmed, and other companies have no interest at all.
There is no precedent for the success of this kind of play in China.
But if the secret war episode from 1999 leaks out and Yue Guan wants to film it, someone might really rush to film it.
Even if they don't do well in filming, just riding on the popularity and earning a vote and then leaving, it will be a big loss for Yue Guan.
Many times, after the audience suffered a loss once, they would not suffer a second time.
For example, if "The Wandering Earth" was released after "Shanghai Fortress", the box office revenue would be estimated to be reduced by at least one billion.
"It is enough to set this organization to keep secrets from ordinary people, but not from the country. In addition, except for some reclusive people, most people in this organization also have their own normal lives. They are responsible for protecting the world, and logistical problems must also Someone needs to help deal with it, and the country needs to step in at this time." The person who spoke was Ren Peng, the screenwriter of "The Master of Hypnosis": "We can't let heroes bleed and shed tears. They protect the world, and the country protects them. You can set up a department specifically, Or set up a company to let these people receive subsidies from here on a regular basis to solve their worries. There is no need for heroes to be miserable all the time. On the contrary, I think it is more in line with our mainstream values to make them glamorous."
Yue Guan gave Ren Peng a thumbs up: "Teacher Ren's suggestion is a good one. When I watched Spider-Man and Superman, I felt that they clearly have such powerful abilities, but they still have to worry about such trivial matters as making money. It's very uncomfortable."
"I feel the same way, and some institutions and film and television dramas in our country like to highlight the hero's noble character by exaggerating the tragic life of the hero. I have always found it difficult to understand." Ren Peng shook his head and said: "The hero The filming is so miserable, but it is noble. Who wants to be a hero? Only by allowing the hero to live a good life and get the flowers and applause he deserves can we attract ordinary people to become heroes."
"Come, let me toast Teacher Ren. Teacher Ren's words speak to my heart."
Yue Guan took the initiative to offer Ren Peng a glass of wine.
Ren Peng and Yue Guan touched each other, and then they both drank.
Yue Guan said seriously: "Teacher Ren, don't worry. In my play, the gatekeepers will definitely not be miserable. At least in terms of money, there will be no gatekeepers who are short of money."
Yue Guan has no habit of abusing his master.
He planned to put the timeline of the drama "The Gatekeepers" after the 1999 Secret War.
In the secret war of 1999, almost all the gatekeepers came out. They risked their lives in the battle and suffered heavy losses. Not even one person survived.
After the Secret War in 1999, the surviving senior officials used memory cleaning methods to eliminate the memories of ordinary people, but the senior officials knew the truth.
Unknown dangers always exist, and the earth needs gatekeepers. In this case, letting these gatekeepers ponder over how to survive after the war... That is an insult to the intelligence of the top management.
His original setting was that the government would help the gatekeepers hide their identities and give those gatekeepers various glamorous identities on the surface. When danger came, they would reveal their true colors and fight to protect the world.
It is precisely because the world is worth protecting that we protect it.
If everyone in the human world hates them so much and their experience in the human world is not good at all, then why should they protect the human world and just occupy it directly
"Yue Guan, do you want to consider adding a big hypnotist to the gatekeeper?" Xu Zheng took the initiative: "Look for me, I will make a guest appearance."
Yue Guan: "...Brother Zheng, are you a big director coming to act in a TV series?"
The star of "The Master of Hypnosis" is Xu Zheng, but the screenwriter has no role for him.
Yue Guan also didn't expect Xu Zheng to follow.
Now that you are here, of course you should be given a warm welcome.
Maybe Xu Zheng has a lot of literary problems, but finding him as an actor is not a big problem.
The problem is that he is not easy to hire.
After all, the coffee status is there.
Xu Zheng waved his hand and said that it was nothing: "I heard you briefly talk about the plot and setting and I felt that this drama must be good. You can act in it, why can't I? Prepare a role for me, and I will I’ll make a guest appearance for you, and I won’t get paid.”
After a pause, Xu Zheng chuckled: "Of course, Yue Guan, if you feel you owe me, I have no objection if you want to compensate me with a drama."
The fox's tail is exposed.
If he could take on a Yue Guan drama with a guest role, he would be willing to play a guest role until his death.
To be honest, Xu Zheng is actually more loyal to his identity as an actor than to his director.
At least he doesn't have so many ideas as an actor, it's enough to just play the role well.
Yue Guan smiled and toasted Xu Zheng with a glass of wine: "Brother Zheng, if you are willing to play the leading role in a group portrait, I will give you a movie that can win the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor."
Xu Zheng was excited: "Really?"
"There are so many people here who can all serve as witnesses."
Anyway, Yue Guan didn't plan to act in "I'm Not the God of Medicine" himself.
The role gap is too big, even Yue Guan can't play it.
Unless he holds the script in his hands first and waits until he is ten years older.
But that's not necessary.
There is no shortage of movies in Yueguan, so there is no need to grab these movies that were already good in the original time and space.
He originally planned to approach Xu Zheng for this drama.
Now that I can get a romantic relationship and star in a TV series, why not do it.
When Xu Zheng heard Yue Guan's promise, he couldn't sit still at all: "It's a deal, Yue Guan, I don't want remuneration for the TV series, and the movies will be at market price. But if I don't win the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor, you owe me another movie. How about it?"
This calculation is really shrewd.
But no matter how this account is calculated, Yueguan actually does not lose.
Xu Zheng just wanted to get two good resources this time, and did not cheat Yue Guan, and Yue Guan certainly had no objection.
"Just do what Brother Zheng said."
Xu Zheng felt that his trip today was really worth it.
He has always wanted to take the Yueguan line, but he has never had a chance.
His wife Tao Hong actually filmed a movie for Miracle Company - "Red". After filming, Tao Hong, who had not acted in a movie for a long time, received a lot of applause.
The popularity even tends to overtake him, although with Xu Zheng's status, there is no need to rely on popularity now.
But Xu Zheng could see the high-quality resources of Miracle Company.
Even Tao Hong can be praised, so it's no problem to praise him.
Xu Zheng's acting skills have always been good, but "No Man's Land" did not help him win the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor. Xu Zheng is very regretful.
As an actor, anyone who says they don’t want to be the best actor is lying.
Xu Zheng wanted to do it too.
Although he does not lack resources, he lacks the kind of resources that can help him reach the top.
In terms of resources, Miracle Company is recognized as the number one in the industry.
That's why Xu Zheng came with the two screenwriters of "The Master of Hypnosis", forced himself to eat and drink, and then got a chance to play a movie.
Xu Zheng felt very satisfied.
Yue Guan is actually very satisfied.
Yue Guan didn't plan to cooperate with Xu Zheng as a director, but it was really cost-effective to find Xu Zheng as an actor.
In particular, Xu Zheng also has to guest star in TV series for free.
Yue Caring said that if I don't give you more drama, there's something wrong with my brain.
Free hard work is a waste if it is not used.
Xu Zheng didn't know that he was already a pushover in Yue Guan's eyes. He was indeed interested in the "Gatekeeper of the World" project that Yue Guan was currently working on. After pondering for a moment, Xu Zheng took the initiative to suggest Said: "Yue Guan, since the identity of the gatekeepers needs to be hidden, you can actually open an express company and put all these gatekeepers into the company as responsible persons. Then divide them by region and let these couriers be responsible for different areas. . Wherever there is danger, the courier will go and deliver the express. The name of the express company should be called West Wind Express. West Wind Express will definitely achieve its mission."
Yue Guan: "...Brother Zheng, you really have an idea."
"You don't think so?"
"I think it's really possible... It would be better if the express company's name is Dongfeng."
"Dongfeng better forget it, it's better to avoid it."
"Where did West Wind avoid taboo..."
Although this is a complaint, it is indeed possible.
"Yue Guan, what role do you want to play?" Chen Shu, the screenwriter of "Xiu Chun Dao" asked.
Yue Guan shook his head: "Actually, I haven't thought about it yet. "The Gatekeepers of the World" is a group drama. The roles of the several protagonists should be similar. I haven't thought about anyone in particular. After the script is completely formed, I Just pick one of the protagonists to play."
"There is no particularly outstanding protagonist?" Chen Shu was surprised: "Then you are making wedding dresses for others?"
Yue Guan smiled: "The roles are almost the same, but it doesn't mean that the effect of the actors' performance is the same. And I don't care about this anymore. If I really want to compete, who can compete with me? If someone can let me marry him, Yi, I'm actually very happy, the more talents in the entertainment industry, the better."
Chen Shu gave Yue Guan a thumbs up: "In this realm, your Majesty is your Majesty."
"Don't flatter me, I will be proud. In fact, I have always been like this when filming. I rarely do one-man shows. The more characters a film can stand, the more profound the impression it will leave on the audience. As for who can stand out, it depends I have a good foundation as an actor, I hope I can take advantage of this opportunity to introduce a few more actors."
"Yue Guan, actually I don't recommend you use this drama to promote actors." Xu Zheng said: "This kind of drama involves supernatural elements, so special effects must be required, and the subject matter is very new, so market acceptance will be a problem. It's best not to take risks, choose some popular actors, and make the show popular first. Looking at this setting, you should be running for several seasons to do it."
"Brother Zheng has a good eye. In the past, I always finished filming one film, but I am really ready to complete several seasons of "The Gatekeepers of the World"."
It would be a bit of a waste to finish filming in one set with this setting.
"Then it would be best to introduce new actors later. In the first or even second season, it will be mainly popular actors. This is the safest way."
Yue Guan pondered for a moment and nodded: "That makes sense. The first season is still about stability."
Xu Zheng glanced at Yue Guan and showed a smile that all men would understand: "Yue Guan, in fact, as long as you choose the actors well, there is no way this drama will be a hit. There must be many female extraordinarys in the gatekeeper organization. , don’t you have a good relationship with many popular actresses? If you bring them here, it will be difficult for this drama to hit the market."
"They're too expensive."
"They won't charge high prices for your scenes."
"Brother Zheng, I'm just a single guy, I don't have that much face."
Xu Zhengxin said that I believed your lies.
I also want to be a single like you.
Yue Guan also knew that Xu Zheng didn't believe it.
If you don't believe it, don't believe it. No matter how big the problem is, he can just believe it.
However, Xu Zheng's words aroused Yue Guan's thoughts.
It seems that in the past two years, he has been advocating for female stars who are not yet well-known, and rarely cooperates with those who are truly popular.
In the previous filming, Yue Guan was the one who set up the game and was at the peak of his strength. He did not consider the issue of popularity. Anyway, he himself was in charge of the popularity.
But for the show "The Gatekeepers of the World", maybe we can consider forming a peak popularity series.
This kind of TV series does not focus on the acting skills of the actors. The plot, special effects and the appearance of the actors are more important than the acting skills.
So maybe consider changing the gameplay.
Damimi has some time recently.
Liu Shishi also has it.
Zhao Liying has just finished her guest appearance in "Feng Shen" and has not taken on any new roles yet.
Tang Yan's legs are also very long, not inferior to Wan Qiwen's.
Liu Yifei asked him about his new drama two days ago, and he is currently idle.
Of course, it will definitely be difficult to gather them all, and remuneration is an issue.
But it all depends on people.
Yue Guan is still thinking about gathering these young beauties to make a harem drama in the future. Compared with that ambition, "The Gatekeepers of the World" is obviously much easier.
You can try it.
The worst thing is to pay for it with flesh.
Yue Guan can still devote himself to art. As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will.
He is so simple and noble.
