Some netizens found that The Green Vine City has been searched for hot searches again! This time, Feng Shaofeng incarnated as a citizen of Luteng City and gave netizens an anti-fraud lesson. And this is also the warm-up for the launch of iQiyi's mist theater web drama "Fatal Wish". Seeing the hot search, some netizens can't help but ridicule, saying that the story happened in Green Vine City again, is this Green Vine City going to become the Chinese version of Gotham City?
It really is! The virtual city of Green Vines has appeared in many domestic film and television dramas, in addition to "Fatal Wishes", "Psychological Crimes", "Ten Day Game", "Sweeping Black Storm", "Very Witness", "In the Doom", "Big People" and other dramas and films, the story of the film takes place in "Green Vine". Also because most of these film and television dramas are suspense crime film and television dramas, some netizens jokingly said that "green vines are the cosmic center of China's suspense crime dramas". After careful understanding and comparison, netizens were also surprised to find that most of these film and television dramas with "green vines" were produced by Beijing Wuyuan Culture Media Co., Ltd.
In addition to the green vine city, if you want to say which virtual city appears the most times in domestic film and television dramas, it is undoubtedly Jiangzhou City. The first appearance of Jiangzhou City should be in the drama "Wang Gui and Anna" starring Haiqing and Lin Yongjian. After that, domestic dramas such as "Floating sinking", "Snail Residence", "Naked Marriage Era", "Heart Technique", "Female Not Powerful Heaven Can't Tolerate", "He's Coming, Please Close Your Eyes" and other domestic dramas also set the story background to "Jiangzhou". And because most of these dramas are directed by Teng Huatao, "Jiangzhou" is also considered to be the symbol of Teng Huatao's works.
Many viewers do not understand why Teng Huatao is so partial to Jiangzhou, and even liu liu, a screenwriter who has cooperated with him for many years, has also arranged the story of "Heart Technique" and "Women Are Not Strong in Heaven" to take place in Jiangzhou - in fact, the virtual city of Jiangzhou is Teng Huatao's own thoughts. In 2008, their crew was filming "Wang Gui and Anna", because part of the scene was filmed in Henan and part of it was filmed in Wuhan, so the main creative team wanted to virtualize a city and "put those scenes in".
Soon, Teng Huatao thought of the name "Jiangzhou". After he wanted to become famous, he looked for a large circle on the map and found that there was really no such place as "Jiangzhou" in China, and he used it to this day. Teng Huatao said that although Jiangzhou is a virtual place, it represents most of the real Chinese cities, and it does not matter which city Jiangzhou is, because there are a group of real people living in "Jiangzhou".
In domestic film and television dramas, there are many virtual cities such as Songjiang City ("Never Let You Go", "Snow Without a Trace"), Jingzhou City ("The Name of the People"), Beijiang City ("Traffic Police"), Jingang City ("White Night Pursuit", "Rebirth"), Yangcheng ("Residual Sin"), Linshi City ("If Snails Have Love"), Linhai City ("You and My Allure Time"), Yanzhou City ("Homecoming") and many other virtual cities, and the audience is also familiar with them. So why do domestic film and television dramas always like to use virtual place names?
In fact, the main reason is to avoid suspicion and avoid unnecessary controversy. Because once the film and television dramas or other literary and artistic works that are easy to be widely disseminated involve real place names, it is likely to cause some embarrassment or even negative impact. For example, the play depicts a certain event with a bad impact and much criticism, and the place where it happened is the real place name, but in fact, this kind of thing has not happened in that place, so even if the audience knows that the plot of the film and television drama is fictional, it is inevitable that some people will have bad associations and even have a negative impression of that place.
This happened in the late 1970s. At that time, the movie "Tear Stains" arranged the place where the story took place in Shanxi, and when the film was broadcast, many counties and cities in Shanxi Province believed that the bad story told by the film occurred in their cities, so they sued the film studio, the screenwriter, and the director, and the quarrel could not be stopped for three years. It is also because of this that after that, When China's film and television dramas were broadcast, they marked with text that "this film is purely fictional, if there is a similarity, it is purely coincidental" as a reminder.
Using virtual place names also makes it easier for episodes or films to pass the review of relevant departments. Because some subjects are more sensitive and more likely to cause controversy, and using the real place name as the place where the story takes place, it is likely that it will not be able to pass the review smoothly. Once the audit is not completed, the project will be aborted and the loss will be huge. Therefore, many film and television drama creation teams prefer to use virtual place names to avoid risks. For example, when it was sent to censorship, it was because Teng Huatao used the virtual place name "Jiangzhou" that saved a lot of trouble.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, the creative team wants to create an IP universe - such as the "green vine" of the aforementioned five-yuan culture and Teng Wentao's "Jiangzhou". Now people laugh that the green vine is the cosmic center of domestic suspense crime dramas, which can also be regarded as the gradual formation of this IP universe. Teng Huatao, he also knows how to use "Jiangzhou" to create a sense of intimacy for the audience, such as Wang Gui in the "Wang Gui and Anna" drama and Yu Zhide in the "Floating Sink" drama are colleagues, they are all teaching at Jiangzhou University. Such an arrangement is also conducive to creating an IP universe that belongs to Teng Huatao.
