"Little Soldier Zhang Ga" is going to shoot the second part!
That's right, it's the "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" you have in mind.
Doesn't it feel magical to hear this?
As a red classic adaptation drama twenty years ago, the Douban score is still 7.8 points, which shows the success of this drama.
There are a number of actors we are familiar with in the play, such as Zhang Yishan who plays Tong Le; Wang Shasha, who plays Yingzi; Du Yuan, who plays Old Uncle Zhong; There is also Koji Yano who plays Saito, and so on.
Since then, these actors have all developed well in the entertainment industry, and they have also had many of their own classic works.
Only the protagonist Xie Mengwei, who plays Gazi, seems to be trapped in the role of "Gazi" more than twenty years later.
This is not to say that he can't come out of the character, but that he has not yet got rid of the label of "Gazi".
A drama eats a lifetime, and all his work seems to be inseparable from this character created many years ago.
Because of Gazi, the audience has a filter of the times on him;
Because of Gazi, he was later stereotyped to shoot many TV series of the same type;
It is also because of Gazi that he is now able to thrive in the live broadcast industry.
Then, now, he wants to continue this glory with his own hands.
The second part that is worrying
It is said that Xie Mengwei made a lot of efforts in order to shoot the sequel to "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", which is the second part of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga".
He first contacted the owner of the copyright to discuss, and finally reached a copyright agreement with the owner for the adaptation and shooting.
Naturally, this royalty is still much higher than the market price.
After the copyright fee is settled, all that remains is the investment funds and the actor's script.
Last year, some gossip media said that Xie Mengwei himself said in the live broadcast that he had raised 800 million yuan to shoot the second part of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", and the script was written by himself.
It mainly tells the story of how Zhang Ga, a soldier who grew up, continued to fight wits and courage with the Japanese invaders.
I believe that many netizens who see this will can't help but say in their hearts: Isn't this?
First of all, those who have seen this drama or literary works should know that although the background of the creation of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" is said to be during the Anti-Japanese War, Gazi appeared in 1943.
In two years, the War of Resistance will come to an end, and the 14-year War of Resistance Against Japan will be victorious.
In such a short time, how did Gazi continue the War of Resistance Against Japan when he grew up? Is it crossing?
Secondly, although Xie Mengwei bought the copyright, he can adapt and create on this basis.
However, this is the screenwriter of a play, is the creative process of a good script so casual?
Here is a question mark about Xie Mengwei's own creative ability, script adaptation ability, text use ability, and history and logic.
Although Xie Mengwei wrote on Baidu Encyclopedia as a director and screenwriter, and once directed and acted in the action movie "Borderless City", the splash was not large.
It's not that he is not optimistic about his adaptation, but objectively speaking, letting professional people do professional things will obviously achieve better results.
In the current play, there are many people who are in a mess adapted by the screenwriter.
There are countless lessons from the past, if you want to block the mouths of everyone, Xie Mengwei must come out with some real skills.
Moreover, it is said that when Xie Mengwei was looking for actors, he thought that Wu Qilong's image was very suitable for one of the roles, and he was also very confident in inviting Wu Qilong to participate.
There are two reasons: First, he has cooperated with Wu Qilong before, and the two co-produced a war film called "Advancing to the Fire".
So from this point of view, the two are not completely strange existences, and actors who have a foundation for cooperation will have a lot less run-in when they cooperate again.
Second, Xie Mengwei said that he had a good relationship with Liu Shishi, and he asked Liu Shishi to be a lobbyist, for Liu Shishi's face, Wu Qilong should agree to film this TV series.
It is said that the entertainment industry is a circle, and no one knows who is in their friend list.
The editor also does not know what intersection Xie Mengwei and Liu Shishi have before.
Anyway, Xie Mengwei eventually seemed to convince Wu Qilong to participate in this drama.
Things seemed to be moving in the direction he expected.
As expected
It has been more than half a year since it was rumored that filming would begin.
In the second half of last year, due to the impact of the epidemic, many work pressed the pause button, and this year began to gradually move towards a normal track.
Because the materials are really limited, I don't know to what extent the second part of this "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" has started filming.
However, what has been rumored more recently is that Wu Qilong can't help but quit this show!
Because the script is too bizarre, the plot is too out of control, if you continue to act, then the good reputation accumulated over the years will be ruined.
Wu Qilong didn't want to do something too risky, and took this gamble with his actor professional ethics.
How bizarre is the plot?
According to media who went to visit Wu Qilong, Wu Qilong complained to them that this was simply a divine drama.
It only takes two people to overturn one of the enemy's camps, and the other side still has the blessing of artillery; Hit the plane with stones, the key is that it is also beaten down.
You just say that it is not, which is similar to the "hand-torn devil" in the "anti-war drama" that was madly complained about by netizens before, which is quite unreliable and contrary to scientific common sense.
Some netizens can't help but complain when they see this, such a drama is filmed without regard for the audience's life or death, as long as they are not embarrassed, it is us who are embarrassed.
The war of resistance was such a difficult process, and in order to win, we lost our troops and fought against the aggressors with blood and tears.
It is not a process that embodies "coolness", and it must respect history and logic.
Works of art can be processed, but they cannot be divorced from reality, otherwise they will only become water without source and wood without root.
Wu Qilong has not been a director before, and his life is also very rich, and he has experienced various life courses.
When I was young, I filmed many bad dramas in order to pay off debts, and after Liangqing, I stepped into many different fields.
Anti-Japanese war dramas, he has filmed, such as "Advancing to Artillery Fire" and "Advancing to Victory" that we mentioned above;
Costume dramas, he has also filmed, such as "Liaozhaiqi Woman", and the work that has to be mentioned and Liu Shishi's love work "Step by Step Scary" and so on.
Because he studied taekwondo and judo, he has won championships many times.
Therefore, for Wu Qilong, playing is not a problem at all, he is a very hard-working person.
This time for Xie Mengwei to participate in this drama, unfortunately, the script is not powerful, and it has been greatly changed.
So out of touch with reality, Wu Qilong didn't want to quit shooting!
But for Wu Qilong's withdrawal, Xie Mengwei has not responded much, and there is no news that any actor will replace Wu Qilong, and how it will develop in the future, we don't know yet.
Where the future holds
As the screenwriter and investor of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", Xie Mengwei himself expressed great difficulty in changing the script.
Because the plots that have been filmed are carried out according to the previous script, 300 million funds have been invested in the early stage.
Originally, the total budget was 800 million, if the script was changed and restarted, then the funds and energy invested before would be wasted, and manpower, material and financial resources would be wasted.
Pulling the trigger and moving the whole body, this cannot be done halfway, nor can it start over.
Only try to modify it in the later stage, as for to what extent and to what extent, it is unknown.
Why is Xie Mengwei so obsessed with such a plot?
Some netizens have analyzed that he was affected by the popularity of the first "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", and believes that the plot suitable for audiences for more than 20 years is still an explosive existence.
The original drama was filmed in this way, and then received countless praises, allowing himself to have a place in the entertainment industry since then.
Now if you want to replicate such brilliance, then you should continue the idea of the first part, you can't make more changes, there is no problem with his script, and he respects the original.
For Wu Qilong's refusal to accept the script to withdraw, Xie Mengwei said that he had no way.
Wu Qilong is just an actor he invited, not a screenwriter, as long as he completes his own shooting according to the script well, and there is no need to worry about the superfluous.
If you insist on withdrawing, you have to do things according to the contract and compensate for liquidated damages.
For the matter of paying liquidated damages, Wu Qilong thought more openly.
He came to film here to see the face of Liu Shishi and Xie Mengwei, originally he did not plan to film in recent years, wanted to retreat to the background, and occasionally appeared in front of the audience is also in other variety shows.
Now that I have been filming for more than a month, I really can't go on, I can't accept such a plot, even if I break the contract and compensate for double the amount written on the contract, I have to leave.
Xie Mengwei always thought that there was no problem with his script, and he said that he did not want to make money by making this drama.
Just to thank the classics, thank you for this drama, because of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" to have the current self.
Whether the film is ostentatious or not, you still have to go to the cinema to see it in person to know.
Maybe you think pompous movies that some people happen to like?
Those who like "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" will definitely be able to understand its core and understand its essence.
Xie Mengwei finally said that he will definitely stick to his original intention, he has seen all the suggestions of everyone, and the film will definitely not disappoint everyone.
What do you think about this?
The editor borrows a phrase from Na Ying: This is difficult to evaluate, so I wish him success!
