China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 332 A new play between Li Yu and Liu Heping

It goes without saying how high Liu Heping’s screenwriting skills are.

The highest-rated historical plot drama "Ming Dynasty 1566" in China was written by him.

In addition to "The Ming Dynasty", the screenwriter is also responsible for the two dramas "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "All Quiet in Peking".

In a few years, he will also serve as the president of the Chinese TV Drama Screenwriters Committee.

Liu Heping is definitely a big shot in the industry.

But it also depends on who you compare with.

Compared with great directors like Li Yu, Li Yu's status is much higher than him.

After all, China is a director-centered system.

In China's film and television circles, directors are the core figures.

Li Yu brought Liu Heping in this time with the purpose of asking him to help him perfect the plotting scenes in "Nirvana in Fire 2".

As the saying goes, there are specializations in the art industry.

As the son of a mining foreman, Li Yu knew that his own strength was not enough.

When necessary, you must find professional talents to assist you.

And you should never micromanage in front of professionals, and you must not move the machine gun position five meters to the left.

Lao Li told him when he was very young that he should be in awe of professionals in areas he is not good at and it is taboo to point fingers. Losing money is only a trivial matter, but causing loss of life is a big deal.

When it comes to writing about tactics, Li Yu thinks that his level is not bad.

He wrote all the plot dramas in "Nirvana in Fire", and the reviews were very good.

But it is definitely incomparable to Liu Heping, a top master in writing plot dramas.

Liu Heping readily agreed after receiving Li Yu's invitation.

He wrote the script so well and he is a pursuing screenwriter.

His "The Ming Dynasty" is recognized as a divine drama, but it also has flaws.

One of the shortcomings is that there was too little investment at the time, and in the early years, the mainland's historical drama crews learned from the drama crews in Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Province.

Learn from the good, and learn from the bad.

The costumes of historical dramas in Hong Kong and Taiwan are notoriously bad. They are full of studio style. From the princes and nobles to the common people, the clothes and fabrics are all the same.

To describe it in one word, it's rough.

The service of "The Ming Dynasty" is very poor. The clothes worn by the emperor and ministers are not from the Ming Dynasty at all, and the overall quality is very bad.

"The Ming Dynasty" premiered around the same time as "Nirvana in Fire".

At that time, Liu Heping saw "Nirvana in Fire" broadcast by Yangma, and he was really envious of its obedience, which even the history professor praised.

He often thinks that if his "Da Ming Dynasty" can reach the level of "Nirvana in Fire", it will definitely be a hit, and that drama will truly have no regrets.

It's a pity that there is no such thing as if in this world, and there is no way to change the past.

But you can work hard to win in the future.

Li Yu's "Nirvana in Fire 2" will definitely continue the excellent persuasion of the previous work.

As long as he implants his high-quality strategy in "Nirvana in Fire 2", it can be considered as making up for the regret of "The Ming Dynasty" being too crotch-heavy.

After meeting, the two briefly greeted and said hello.

After some pleasantries, Liu Heping took the lead and said: "I read the script Director Li sent me carefully.

I can see that Director Li is trying to overturn the foreshadowing in the finale of the previous game.

It would be inappropriate to call this new script "Nirvana in Fire 2". "

In the finale of "Nirvana in Fire", Mei Changsu died, the new Liang Emperor ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and Mei Changsu's son fled to the Northern Wei Dynasty. According to the original idea, the plot of "Nirvana in Fire 1" must be that Mei Changsu's descendants seek revenge on the new Liang Emperor.

When he actually started writing the script, Li Yu felt that the pattern of revenge coming and going was too small, and the pattern could be enlarged.

Isn't the story background of "Nirvana in Fire 1" the Liang Dynasty in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties?
The stories of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties are exciting and not inferior to those of the Three Kingdoms.

It's just that the times are too chaotic and dynasties change too frequently, so it's not well-known.

The new script written by Li Yu does not need to be limited to the small Liang Kingdom. There are better materials in the north of Liang Kingdom.

There are two protagonists in Li Yu's new script.

One is Gao Huan, known as Little Cao Cao.

The other is Yuwentai, the founder of the Guanlong Group, the great-grandfather of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

The battle between Gao Huan and Yu Wentai is much more exciting than revenge, and the intention will be higher.

More importantly, the audience will definitely be happy if the story of these two is filmed.

Take Gao Huan as an example. Gao Huan was born in a military family in Huaishuo Town. He belongs to the lower class of society. His daily job is to stand on duty on the city wall.

One day, Lou Zhaojun, who was born into a top noble family, was traveling. She saw Gao Huan standing guard on the city wall, who was so handsome with bright eyes and white teeth, so she immediately decided to marry Gao Huan.

Gao Huan married Bai Fumei, obtained Bai Fumei's financial support, and bought a horse to serve as a messenger. Eventually he laid a foundation and became the founder of a dynasty.

Gao Huan's life experience is a refreshing article.

No, this kind of start with a single face, white, rich and beautiful, and the story of clearing a country will be criticized by readers as brainless in Shuangwen novels.

This is a pure counterattack style of hanging silk. As long as you shoot it well, it will be difficult for the audience to feel unhappy.

Yu Wentai is not as handsome as Gao Huan, but his story is equally inspiring.

Although he is not from Diaosi, he can still win by hitting six mines with one mine. This is also a classic example of a successful counterattack.

If Gao Huan is little Cao Cao, then Yu Wentai is the enhanced version of Liu Bei.

He has the same attributes as Liu Bei, is an invincible Xiaoqiang, and can fight better than Liu Bei.

It was absolutely satisfying to film their stories, and many wonderful plot stories could be written in the process of their fortunes and several wars.

Li Yu brought Liu Heping in because he wanted him to be responsible for all the political intrigues.

Li Yu immediately responded to the question Liu Heping just mentioned: "Indeed, the protagonist has changed, and the protagonist is no longer the descendant of Mei Changsu.

It’s no longer appropriate to call the play “Nirvana in Fire”. I have taken this into consideration, and I will hold a meeting with everyone to decide on a new title later. "

The protagonist of "The Descendants of Mei Changsu" was cut off by Li Yu, but Li Yu will fill in the pitfalls of "Langya Bang 1".

Aren’t Mei Changsu’s descendants seeking revenge from the new Liang Emperor?

Arranging Mei Changsu's grandson as a supporting role, letting him fight back to the Liang Kingdom with Hou Jing, the general of the universe, and starving the new Liang Emperor to death in Taicheng, wouldn't this make things come true?
This kind of adaptation can satisfy the fans of "Langya Bang 1" and also attract more audiences.

"Director Li, I understand what you mean."

Liu Heping nodded, he had no doubts.

After negotiating for a while, Liu Heping learned from Li Yu that the investment for this new drama would be at least 1.5 million, and he immediately decided to sign a contract with Hualiu Company.

Investing in such a large TV series made his work enthusiasm and inspiration burst out.

He had a hunch that this new drama he collaborated with Li Yu would most likely become a high-quality work that would not lose to "The Yongzheng Dynasty" and "The Ming Dynasty".

Not long after Liu Heping signed the contract, such a piece of gossip suddenly appeared in the recently quiet TV circle.

'Liu Heping signed a contract with Hualiu Company, and Li Yu is suspected of cooperating with Liu Heping to create a sequel to "Nirvana in Fire". '

After this piece of gossip spread, not only the old fans of "Nirvana in Fire" began to revel in the carnival, but even the industry was in turmoil.

Many celebrities and actors use backdoors and rely on connections. They have only one goal - to participate in the audition for Li Yu's new play.
