The fact that the original work has been welcomed by so many people proves the charm and strength of the original work. Those filmmakers or screenwriters are clever enough to adapt it, which can be said to be the most stupid thing, and waste the best part.
We have even reached the point where we just treat these classics as a gimmick and adapt them arbitrarily. The final result is of course that we will be scolded by the audience and be cheated. Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too many times, we will be disliked by the audience.
Ever since Tsui Hark adapted Jin Yong's classic image, The Invincible East, and replaced it with Brigitte Lin in the 1990s, the trend of such adaptations has quickly spread, and countless bad movies have been filmed under the name of adaptation.
Everyone has seen the benefits of Tsui Hark's adaptation, and they don't even think about their own level. In the end, they can only imitate others!
In a word, it is overestimating one's abilities!
Of course, appropriate adaptation is still needed. After all, there are some scenes that cannot be reflected in film and television dramas with current technology, or are somewhat inappropriate, but the theme and plot do not need to be modified casually, especially most of the modifications.
Otherwise, why buy the copyright? Isn’t that a waste of money?
However, "The Girls We Chased Together" does have a lot of plots that are not suitable for children. For example, the scene of Ke Jingteng walking around naked is really against the rules, and there is also a scene where he masturbates to the teacher in class.
The plot will definitely not pass the test of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau in the Mainland.
It feels too inconsistent
There are also some things that are full of swear words and foul language, which can also be modified. In the previous life, because the filming had already been completed, these could not be modified, but it has not been filmed yet, so it is too late.
In my previous life, some people said that "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" was a heavy-flavored film with a fresh exterior. When it was released, it was basically given a rating of p16 or above.
In this case, many teenagers and children will be blocked from the cinema. Don’t think that children under 16 years old do not understand the magic of first love. These days, kindergarten children have girlfriends. People on earth have stopped
No more baby papers!
If the restriction level is expanded to those over ten years old, or even eight years old or even none, then Zhang Yicheng can guarantee that the box office will at least double.
Who would watch this kind of love movie with a fresh look, are they adult white-collar workers? Of course not!
Not even middle-aged or above!
Although there are some of these people who see it, they are in the minority after all!
The real main force is those teenagers in junior high school, high school, college, or just graduated. These talents are the main force. A p18 in the previous life blocked at least half of the potential audience. Zhang Yicheng, of course
Won't make this mistake again
In his previous life, the reason why Nine Knives took pictures so casually was because it was the memory of Nine Knives, the memories of him and Shen Jiayi, so he was shooting like this more to complete one of his original memories. Maybe
He himself never thought it would be so popular!
Next, Taiwan is more open than the mainland. This has started to change since the Kuomintang stepped down. In the past, when the Kuomintang was in power, it was actually similar to the mainland party-state in power. This is not what many people imagine.
They also want to praise the Party and the Republic of China, sing red songs, and perform red plays. They basically copy our Party's ideological control routines in all aspects.
It was not until Mr. Chiang Ching-kuo came to power and the reforms that Taiwan officially began to develop and its economy took off. Then after the Kuomintang stepped down, the ideological aspect was completely messed up and no one was in charge.
Therefore, although the mainland's economy has continued to develop in recent years, far surpassing Taiwan's, in terms of ideology, it is still far less open than Taiwan.
In a sense, "The Girl We Chased Together" written by Jiubidao was greatly influenced by this trend.
Zhang Yicheng also wants to change!
It is very simple for Zhang Yicheng to find Nine Knives. There is no need to do anything at all, because Nine Knives is a contracted author of Chai Zhiping, and the cooperation between Zhang Yicheng and Chai Zhiping should be quite pleasant. Last time I followed Zhang Yicheng
Yicheng made a lot of money, with a net profit of more than 10 million
This is still calculated in RMB, not New Taiwan dollars. When converted into New Taiwan dollars, it is definitely more than 50 million. It can be said to be a profit. Although it is not as much as Zhang Yicheng earns, but after all, she only assisted Zhang Yicheng.
With such an income, it can be considered very good. What else can be said?
When Zhang Yicheng found Chai Zhiping, Chai Zhiping was a little surprised
"Mr. Zhang came here this time for the Nine Knives?" Chai Zhiping said with some surprise.
"Yes, my last name is adapting several works of Mr. Ke Jingteng!" Zhang Yicheng said, and then "I don't know what works of Nine Knives Zhang always wants to adapt!" Chai Zhiping asked.
"It's "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years"!" Zhang Yicheng said
"Mr. Zhang actually wanted to adapt this book!" Chai Zhiping said with some surprise. Jiu Baidao is a very well-known author in Taiwan. His works include "Kung Fu", "Howling Wolf", "Yue Lao",
and "The Eighth Bronze Man of Shaolin Temple", etc. It can be said that there are many well-known works.
And "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" is basically just an autobiographical novel. It is a work of Jiuduidao's personal dream realization and a self-entertainment work. If it were not for the reputation of Jiuduidao and Chai Zhiping,
If you express your support for Nine Knives, whether this book can be published is a question. After all, all publishers want to make money, and there is basically no market for such autobiographical novels. If not later,
If the movie version of "The Girl We Chased Together" becomes a hit, then I'm afraid not many people will really know what the book "The Girl We Chased Together" is.
In fact, among the works of Nine Knives, "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" is not too popular or famous, but relatively speaking, because it is an urban romance novel, it is easier to adapt. In addition,
The question of personal preferences on the Nine Knives led to the creation of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years"
So Chai Zhiping never expected that Zhang Yicheng would actually want to adapt "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years"
