Crazy! It's really crazy!
Today's hot search on Thursday belongs to "Celebrating More Than Years 2", which has been broadcast for five years.
"Celebrating More Than Years", which is called the king of dramas by netizens, is creating a number of "live for a long time" in the drama industry.
For example, the number of reservations on the station exceeded 18 million, which is likely to be higher than the number of broadcasts of several small-scale online dramas;
For example, Douban data, more than 100,000 people want to watch "Celebrating More Than Years 2", and more than one million people have rated "Celebrating More Than Years 1" (stable at 7.9 points);
For example, the popularity, 57 minutes after the start of the broadcast, Tencent has broken 32000, how terrifying is this value, that is, among the works currently completed in Tencent, only 11 have broken the 30000 mark, according to this momentum, it is entirely possible that "Celebrating More Than Years 2" will have a popularity value at the beginning of 4;
Another example is the "granularity" of "business", let's say that the scheduling list is sent out as marketing materials, which should be the first time for domestic entertainment.
From the "naked broadcast" counterattack in the first season to the attention of the second season, the entire series of works of "Celebrating More Than Years" is destined to "leave a name in history" in domestic entertainment. The challenge serialization has a beginning and no end, breaking the market curse of male frequency without an audience, nice two meet you is also worthy of a "worthy of enjoying the temple".
1. What does Lili's "Celebrating More Than Years" say?
If you have forgotten the plot of the first part, don't panic, and listen to kk to sort it out for you.
Let's talk about the setting first: book wear + wear later.
Zhang Qing, a student majoring in literary history, is familiar with classical classics, but his thesis proposition of using modern concepts to analyze the history of ancient literature is not recognized by Professor Ye. In order to make Professor Ye his graduate supervisor, Zhang Qing decided to write a novel to further elaborate on the ideas he wanted to express.
According to rumors, the setting of the book is the last to be re-shot, in order to avoid the risk of "crossing" the theme. Let's talk about the back wear, which is in line with the core theme of the collision between modern concepts and ancient systems. One of the biggest features of the "Celebrating More Than Years" series is that the character settings and lines are very modern, which is easy to cause a sense of separation in ancient costumes and speaking vernacular.
According to the setting in the play, Fan Xian's time and space is the "future world", so whether it is him or the "ancients" of the future world, it seems that it is acceptable to use modern language to dialogue.
Let's talk about the plot.
"Celebrating More Than Years" starts from Fan Xianzhou, and the interspersed main line is the death of Fan Xian's mother Ye Qingmei, which is also the foreshadowing of the motivation of the leading characters in the whole play.
Ye Qingmei's death directly affected the changes in the situation in Qingguo, and also established Fan Xian's status as the pet of the "Daddy Group".
Key points: When Ye Qingmei was framed by the queen party and died, Qingguo and Northern Qi were fighting at that time. Chen Pingping was sent out to engage in intelligence as the head of the secret service, and Fan Jian, as the minister of grain and grass, went to get money, and neither of them was in Kyoto. So they naturally felt guilty about this Bai Yueguang, loved the house and Wu, and loved Fan Xian, the son of Bai Yueguang, and became Fan Xian's backer in the later period.
Ye Qingmei's death gave Emperor Qing the opportunity to purge the empress and related henchmen and consolidate his rule. It is logical to send the eldest princess Li Yunrui to become the head of the treasury, which is equivalent to the current Minister of Finance. The eldest princess supports the crown prince on the surface, but actually supports the second prince (10,000 words of love and hatred of aunts and nephews are omitted here) This line has been extended to the second season, the treasury is empty, Fan Xian checks the accounts, and the predictable bloody storm.
In the middle, Emperor Qing missed a Qin family army, and it became a big trouble for Fan Xian in the second season.
Back to Fan Xian. Fan Xian was rescued by Chen Pingping and Wuzhu and sent to Lanzhou to grow up as Fan Jian's illegitimate son, and was warned not to go to Kyoto since he was a child. Everyone knows what happened later, fatalism can't stop it, and it still goes.
In Kyoto, Fan Xian met the "brothers and sisters":
"Chicken Leg Girl" Lin Wan'er, the daughter of Prime Minister Lin Ruofu and the eldest princess Li Yunrui, the two got married in the second season (tired of the famous scene). emmm, with this layer of in-laws, it is equivalent to Fan Xian who has to fight against his mother-in-law.
Fan Ruoruo and Versace, the former is proficient in calligraphy and painting, and is the "president of Fan Xian's support association", while the latter regards money as his life and pulls Fan Xian's printing and painting books to do business.
Fan Xian, who entered Kyoto, was the pet of the "Dad Group", Fan Jian supported him in taking charge of the treasury, and Chen Pingping also wanted to entrust the inspection institute to him, so Fan Xian had several more fathers in the inspection institute: Yan Ruohai and Lin Ruofu (ps: This is the real father, Lin Wan'er's father, Fan Xian's father-in-law). In the process, Fan Xian got to know a bunch of people: such as Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing, who were like his brother and friend.
There are a bunch of famous scenes in the middle of the story: such as the death of Teng Zijing in the Niulan Street War, and Fan Xian's drunken New Year's Hall fighting poem.
The story in the second half of the first season is related to Northern Qi. Fan Xian was ordered to send an envoy to Northern Qi, and the task was to pick up Yan Bingyun, the spy leader who became a prisoner of Northern Qi, and the condition of Northern Qi was to use Sean (also a spy leader) and the lover of the little emperor of Northern Qi to exchange for manager, Fan Xian took the two to Northern Qi.
Fan Xian received the mission of sending an envoy to Northern Qi to pick up Yan Bingyun, the spy leader of Qingguo who was arrested in Northern Qi. The Northern Qi side asked Qingguo to exchange Yan Bingyun with Sean, the head of the Northern Qi spies, and the lover of the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Fan Xian escorted the two to Northern Qi.
In the end, Fan Xian stuck a sword in it for 5 years, and he lived in the second season. (If you don't live, there will be no two or three seasons!) ）
2. Why is it worth waiting for 5 years?
Before and after the finalization of "Celebrating More Than Years 2", because it has been too long, Tencent Video and CCTV Eight have made a condensed version of the original work and released it in advance, and the master and apprentice let the audience remember what the first part said. It is still rumored that for the online broadcast of the abridged version, the platform and the filmmaker have discussed whether it should be broadcast in the form of "membership payment" or spending money on "screening", and there have been many twists and turns in the middle. In the end, in order not to harm the broadcast of the second season, members will be able to watch it.
Generally speaking, for a story of this size, most screenwriters will choose assembly line work. That is, the big screenwriter pulls the frame, writes at most to the sub-scenes, and gives the rest to a bunch of children to fill in the lines. The advantage of assembly line production is that it is fast, and the original story is not a big problem for one episode in 3 days, not to mention that there is a greasy 4 million words of the original work as a base, and the paper book is opened and copied as it is, as long as the literacy is not a big problem for one episode a day.
CCTV said in an interview that Wang Ti wrote the script of "Celebrating More Than Years 2" for 3 years. A while ago, at the advance screening in Beijing, directors Sun Hao and Wang Ti went to the scene, and they were visibly "tired" with the naked eye, they were thin, their hair was less (covering their mouths), and their M-shaped hairlines were out.
There is still an essential difference between a script written by one person and a group of people. The domestic screenwriting industry has not reached the level of Hollywood-style industrialization, and it is not possible to gather screenwriters at the same level who are good at writing parts of different scripts.
The consequence of arresting one person is that the screenwriter will inevitably work hard. In addition to listening to Guo Qilin's cross talk, Xinli also rented a house for Wang Ti, with a monthly rent of 100,000 yuan, and provided this "artificial intelligence AI typewriter" to deliver meals every day. The treatment is good, but if you really think about it, it's hard to be tired and not lose weight.
Cherish the tiredness of feathers, probably a hair for a word written "Celebrating More Than Years 2", I hope that when we 3 say goodbye, tiredness still has hair.
Internal entertainment retains the spirit of craftsmanship, and if you are serious about creating, it is worth waiting for a long time. (kk whispered cricket: It's not that it means not to urge more 3).
Works are hard currency, and they are the truth at all times.
The "Celebrating More Than Years" series can withstand a 5-year break period, and in the final analysis, the content can be played.
Give two examples that impress KK: a solid kernel and a small person's memory point.
At the end of the season 2 trailer, there are four sentences that impress KK:
"You and Your Majesty set up a stage" - Lin Ruofu
"Your Majesty just wants you to be a lonely minister" - Chen Pingping
"Isn't it ridiculous to be controlled all your life and make sure you follow the path you choose?" - Fan Xian
"Madame's heart, stumbling, burdensome." - Emperor Qing
These four sentences have brought subversive changes to the inherent impression of the male frequency "Shuangwen" opening the golden finger all the way up.
Although he is backed by the powerful "Dad Group", his mother is "Bai Yueguang", and he met a bunch of brothers and sisters who are willing to sacrifice their lives to accompany him, in the eyes of ordinary people, he was completely born in Rome.
The helplessness of the naked son to the helplessness of the late stage to the pure minister (lonely minister), and the "upgrade" that walked on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood at every step? Does anyone really crave it?
In the huge story structure of "Celebrating More Than Years", it is also surprising that there are no NPCs. The screenwriter has given almost every character who appears a complete closed loop of life. They and their families grew up in stories.
For example, Teng Zijing, the soy sauce corner at the beginning, has fireworks and human flavor in the later stage, when the audience begins to realize that he is being played with by power, and also sees his daily life with his wife and children, he died on Niulan Street.
There was an article written about Teng Zijing in Douban's drama review that year, to the effect that it was a character that made the audience have endless memories after going offline, which is the embodiment of the screenwriter's ability to shape the characters, and it is also the most successful part of this drama.
3. Praise the creators
"Celebrating More Than Years" began to incubate when Tencent Pictures, China Literature Group, and Xinli were still "troikas", and the flag planting was "five years and three seasons" that year. Now the first five years have passed, and the flag has not fallen.
How difficult the first "five-year plan" was to complete can be felt by more than those who are in it. It's something that takes a lot of head iron to get done.
For the serial development of super IP in the true sense, there are few successful precedents for internal entertainment. Judging from the difficulty of the operation, it is relatively safer to shoot 60 or 90 episodes in one go and then split it into two or three parts.
"Celebrating More Than Years" is a season-based shooting, and it will be broadcast after filming; Shoot the next one. There are too many uncertainties in between.
The first uncertainty is the enthusiasm of the audience. "Celebrating More Than Years 1" ran naked, and the threshold of audience expectations was adjusted very high, this kind of popularity is a double-edged sword for both the filmmaker and the platform.
Before and after the finalization of "Celebrating More Than Years 2", a bunch of book fans ran to the first season to brush the barrage, standing in line and saying that they were waiting for Wang Ti to write the script in the first few volumes of the original work. Judging from the perception of watching the movie in advance, kk can say responsibly that it is worth waiting for 5 years, the same recipe and the same taste. It's just that the progress bar is still in a hurry, and according to the current speed of travel, it is estimated that the second season will not be able to shoot the "Dadongshan Grandmaster War", and if you want to fight the grandmaster, you may have to arrange it until the "Second Five-Year Plan" is realized.
The second uncertainty is the cast and the cast. "Three seasons in five years" is already a big challenge for the original cast, and an actor needs a lot of courage and courage to sign a five-year "deed of sale" with the same drama to ensure that all projects make way for this. It's a gambler's behavior that puts a career in jeopardy. From a different perspective, from the standpoint of the filmmaker or platform, the practical problems faced by the original team are more complicated: some people soar, some people find no such person, and some people even collapse their houses, how to ensure that they are still this group of people when filming the next film?
Internal entertainment is a circle, after the first part is popular, it is inevitable that there will be partners who are good and right, and they want to push the actors they are familiar with into the crew, even if it is a first, second, and second, they may have a chance to soar. At this time, stabilizing the roots is also a matter that needs to be ironed for the platform and the filmmaker. But "Celebrating More Than Years 2" is almost the original team, except for the new characters.
The third is capital pressure, which is to some extent the same as the actor team. On the one hand, there is the pressure of high input; On the other hand, it is the intervention of capital with an invisible hand. There are two conjectures here: lack of money to turn fate, the management negotiates conditions, and I will give money if I stuff a few people in, whether I want this money or not; There is no shortage of money in the face of familiar people and investment needs who want to add pounds, this cup of soup is not divided?
No matter from any point of view, the development of the film and television series of "Celebrating More Than Years" is like a huge "gamble", courage is the admission ticket, and the chips are the conscience and confidence of the industry.
Now that 1 is here, 2 is here, and 3 is more worthwhile, but I hope this time it won't last longer than 5 years.
