The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 264 adaptation of "Escape, Prison"

"Wang Jing will cooperate with Fenghua to shoot a TV series, and the two parties will invest 2000 million yuan."

"Huo Siyan became the heroine of Fenghua Wangjing's co-production drama."

"Wang Jinghao expressed that he will make an unprecedented super TV series, which will shock Asia."

"Wang Jing: Director Li has an unparalleled talent, and he will bring greater glory to the China Entertainment film and television industry."

"Lee Sheng Yew: Director Wang is very capable, looking forward to our co-production drama."

"Lee Sing Yew: The new drama is about to start. Liang Jiahui is a top actor, and everyone can learn from it."

The first season of "Prison Break" can be called a masterpiece. There are 22 episodes in the first season. Each episode contains a very large amount of information, and it is always promoting the development of the plot. It is compact and lively, with distinctive characters.

The plot of the first two episodes is enough to impress Fatty Wang.

After Wang Jing finished reading it, he was silent for a moment, "Director Li, this script can be made into a movie."

With the rhythm of the first season of "Prison Break", it can indeed be made into a movie, but that is too long, and as a series of movies, several films are needed to break the prison, and the audience will definitely not buy it.

And if only one or two movies are made, the plot must be greatly compressed, so that the plot will not be so exciting.

It is still suitable for a TV series, with 22 episodes, and each episode has a breaking point, allowing the audience to immerse themselves in a tense atmosphere.

"It's best to make it into a TV series. I can tell this story clearly and clearly. Are you interested?"

"Yes, I'm interested."

In this way, Li Shengyao and Wang Jing reached a preliminary agreement.

However, the script has not been fully written. This idea came up when he was in Qingdao, and the scriptwriters under him have not yet fully expanded it.

The first season of the American version of "Prison Break" was a masterpiece, and the ratings of the subsequent seasons became lower and lower.

In fact, the direction of the second season is right. The protagonists successfully escaped from the prison, so they will naturally try their best to escape from the beautiful country.

The second season is the escape route of the protagonists.

However, the production team of "Prison Break" only planned to produce one season at the beginning, and they did not expect that the show would become a hit.

The second season was rushed to production, and the script was not satisfactory.

The protagonists are obviously going to flee to the end of the world, but there are a lot of showy operations, and none of them run for their lives in a hurry, which seems to be procrastinating and ignorant.

In the second season, the ratings in the beautiful country dropped sharply, and word-of-mouth dropped a lot.

The production company still had to continue to make money, and produced three, four, five and three seasons later.

The plot behind this is very ridiculous, if the feelings are removed.

Li Shengyao felt that the score was about seven, and it was less than eight. There were too many loopholes in the script.

The most important point is that the stride is too big, and it's too much.

This is a characteristic of many American dramas and Hollywood movies.

It's like the last three seasons of "Prison Break", which involved Guo Jia's security, the president, and the officials also entrusted these chiefs with very important tasks, and the hero's mother actually wanted to start a war.

It's like a neurosis unfolding.

Beautiful Country is so confident that if an individual wants to save the world, this group of chieftains will also save the world.

Such a scenario will naturally change.

Asians saving the world are not popular at this time.

Li Shengyao cut all the messy plots behind, and only kept some wonderful plots of prison escape in the third, fourth, fifth and third seasons.

In the Chinese version of "Prison Break", the first forty episodes are similar to the first and second seasons of the American version of "Prison Break".

There are not so many mentally handicapped operations on the way to escape.

In the next ten episodes, after the male protagonists were arrested, they were sent to a foreign prison to perform a task for the villain behind the scenes.

The male protagonist completes the mission and successfully escapes from prison, and then kills the villain behind the scenes to gain real freedom.

No president involved, no corporations controlling the world, no saving the world, they just saved themselves.

Li Shengyao's expected plot is about [-] episodes, first filmed in Hong Kong Island, and then filmed in Tyrande.

The show will be launched around August this year, and the heroine is chosen as Huo Siyan, which can be regarded as a repayment for the kindness of the introduction.

This heroine is actually not very important, but she is still very conspicuous among a group of men, and she can get a lot of benefits if she plays well.

The most important role in "Prison Break" is naturally the hero with amazing IQ.

Although the male lead in the American version is Gai, he is really handsome.

This is a very smart, calm, and handsome man.

If Sun Honglei was more handsome, he could act, but Honglei's appearance is not very good, he doesn't look like a man who can hook up with a female doctor.

Li Shengyao discussed with Fatty Wang, and the actor was chosen from Deng Chao, Zhang Zhen, and Qin Hao.

There is no problem with the appearance and acting skills of these three people.

It depends on whether they have the time and willingness to do so.

After confirming the cooperation, Wang Jing spread the matter with his big mouth.

Li Shengyao is preparing "My Uncle" here, and he doesn't have so much energy to promote it. When reporters ask him, he just chats a few words.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, the ratings of "My Uncle" could only be said to be at an upper-middle level. It premiered on Peninsula at [-] points, the highest ratings were [-] points, and the average ratings should be [-] points.

Ranked No.2018 in the peninsula in 12.

However, the word-of-mouth of the play is still very good, and it has also won very important awards in the peninsula.

Peninsula has four drama awards in total, namely SBS, kBS, and MBC Acting Awards. These three TV drama awards have relatively large limitations, and they can be regarded as the second-tier TV drama awards.

The most important and most recognized by the audience is the Baeksang Arts Awards.

"My Uncle" won the Best TV Drama Script Award and the Best TV Drama Director Award at the Baeksang Arts Awards.

These two are the best, the number one.

In addition, he also won the Excellent Work, Male Outstanding Acting Award, and Female Outstanding Acting Award. These three awards can be regarded as the second awards.

In other words, iu almost became the post-view of the Peninsula.

At the Baeksang Arts Awards in 2019, this drama can be said to be in the limelight.

Li Shengyao naturally hopes to make this drama well, and then he can reap the awards like he did in his previous life.

There are no big scenes in this drama, but some action scenes.

For example, the hero fights with the debt collector, and the debt collector unilaterally beats the heroine.

These plots are very easy to shoot, and there is no difficulty in shooting them.

The most important thing is to create the main theme of the play-depressed but not decadent.

This requires all the actors to work hard to fully express the meaning expressed in the script.

The actors in the Korean version were well chosen, the leading actor Lee Sun Kyun played normally, and it was iu who surprised everyone.

During that time, a good friend of hers just happened to commit suicide and became ill to the point where she had to be hospitalized.

It can be said that both physically and mentally are very weak.

It is said that the director went to the hospital and apologized to IU crying.

IU was moved by the director and insisted on continuing to perform.

During that period, iu's mental health was not good, but it was similar to the situation of the heroine in the play, as if she was acting in her true colors.

Li Shengyao is not sure whether Deng Jiajia can perform as well as iu, so he can only look forward to it as much as possible.

But this drama is indeed too mournful, Liang Jiahui should be fine, you need to pay attention to Deng Jiajia's mental state, don't take it too deep.

It's not safe for actors to get too involved.
