Chapter 1531 Visiting the Original "Landscape Painting"

The news that "The Squid Game" has attracted the attention and preliminary cooperation intentions of HBO and Netflix has silenced many dissenting executives at SG Entertainment.

Netflix and HBO are among the world's most popular streaming video platforms, with over 100 million subscribers.

If they can secure their investment and launch support, the chances of Squid Game's success will undoubtedly increase significantly.

In fact, although HBO is known for its adult content, it mainly focuses on high-quality original productions and its international expansion is relatively slow. The fact that it is interested in "The Squid Game" is probably mostly due to the reputation of "produced by Ye Zhi Qiu".

Netflix, on the other hand, has a more aggressive approach. They tend to favor high-investment, high-return projects, which are the most likely to secure the rights to such projects.

Furthermore, Netflix is ​​currently the world's largest video streaming platform. If SG Entertainment can land on it and successfully operate a project, it will undoubtedly have a huge benefit on their future influence.

The project staff involved will also benefit from this experience in their careers.

Everyone's minds raced, and after figuring out the connection, their attitudes suddenly took a 180-degree turn.

"I see, then the project has a high chance of success!"

"This is Netflix and HBO, you know. If they take it seriously and release it online, the ratings will definitely be good."

"Actually, I thought this script was really great just now. This kind of high-concept style with its dense suspense and constant plot twists is very suitable for dissemination!"

"Ye Zhi Qiu's side is also going to participate in the investment? But their 50% stake is too high, isn't it? This project should still be led by us, right?"

Below the stage, Kim Jun-hyun coldly observed the group of people whose attitudes had changed dramatically, and inwardly sneered.

Although he disliked Ye Zhi Qiu, he looked down on these people who wavered even more.

Some people who were just vehemently opposing the script are now praising it and even complaining that Ye Zhi Qiu has too many shares. This change of heart is simply outrageous.

It just goes to show that when it comes to interests, people's stances can change at any time.

To put it bluntly, it's just being cheap!

......

Meanwhile, in Kamijō City.

The second rehearsal for this year's Spring Festival Gala is about to begin, and Ye Zhi Qiu, as one of the performing guests, will naturally participate.

Besides himself, he will also participate in rehearsals for a dance program he designed for the Spring Festival Gala this year, titled "Only This Green."

The effectiveness of this rehearsal will directly determine whether the program will be included in the final program list.

Before this, Ye Zhi Qiu brought the dancers from the show to the National Museum.

The dance "Only This Greenery" is based on the famous painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". Ye Zhi Qiu will take the dancers to visit the original work.

In the concept of the dance "Only Greenery", the dancers are not portraying people, but rather the green "mountain".

The most iconic movement in the dance, the "green waist," is inspired by a tilted yet towering mountain in the painting, symbolizing a spirit of perseverance and resilience.

For the selection of performers for this dance, Ye Zhi Qiu chose the best dancers from the Huahai Youth Art Troupe. These actresses have been practicing since childhood, with at least ten years and some twenty years of dance experience, so they are definitely not a problem in terms of the difficulty of the movements.

But the difficulty of this work lies precisely in the fact that it is not just "a dance", but "writing a picture with the body".

Therefore, actors also need to systematically study and immerse themselves in the background and story of the painting in order to better understand its artistic conception.

Simply put, it's a transformation from "dancing" to "becoming a painting".

In performing arts theory, this is called "establishing an emotional connection," and it is a very commonly used technique.

At the National Museum, Ye Zhi Qiu and his group met again with the white-haired, refined curator, Yin Chuan.

"Zhi Qiu, it's been a long time." This wasn't the first time the two had interacted, and Director Yin greatly admired Ye Zhi Qiu, so he was quite enthusiastic.

Ye Zhi Qiu shook hands politely with the other party and said respectfully, "Director Yin, I'm sorry to bother you this time."

"It's not that we're bothering you. This is a program for the Spring Festival Gala, which is broadcast to people all over the country. It's only right that we, the National Museum of China, do our part."

Director Yin looked at the group of elegant and somewhat reserved women following behind Ye Zhi Qiu and jokingly said with a smile, "But this time, your entourage is quite impressive."

Ye Zhi Qiu smiled sheepishly and said, "There are 18 female dancers in total, which is also a tribute to Wang Ximeng, the author of 'A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains,' who created this painting when he was 18 years old."

"The name of our dance is 'Only Greenery'."

“Only this verdant green…only this verdant green…” Curator Yin pondered and repeated the name several times, then his eyes lit up and he said, “Untitled and unsigned, just this one scroll; verdant green for a thousand years, boundless mountains and rivers.”

"This touch of green is very fitting; it's a good name."

"You must have a deep understanding of this painting to come up with this name."

Ye Zhi Qiu humbly replied, "I wouldn't dare say I have a deep understanding, but I'd say I have some knowledge of it."

"I had done research on this when I was working on the 'National Treasure' program."

In the variety show "National Treasure" that was broadcast on national television, there was an episode about "A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains". Ye Zhi Qiu served as the chief planner and screenwriter for that episode, which was more than 4 years ago.

Director Yin was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "Right, I almost forgot."

"You're quite the hero, aren't you? After that episode aired, it brought our museum a lot of advertising and related revenue."

Director Yin was in high spirits, and under his leadership, the group walked deeper into the museum.

Along the way, Director Yin explained, “The ‘A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains’ is a national first-class cultural relic and the most prized possession of our museum. According to the principle of protection, it is to be exhibited once every ten years, and each exhibition shall not exceed two weeks.”

"Normally, unless there are special circumstances, it will not be exhibited to the public."

“You’re in luck this time. The last time this painting was exhibited was nine years ago. We’re planning a special exhibition of blue-green landscape paintings from all dynasties next year, and ‘A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains’ will be one of the main exhibits.”

"We are currently making preparations for the exhibition, and we just happened to move this painting out of the special-grade cultural relics warehouse. In addition, it is in conjunction with the Spring Festival Gala program, so we can take you in for a visit."

During the conversation, the group went through a series of complicated registration and verification procedures before passing through multiple security doors.

The 18 female dancers following closely behind Ye Zhi Qiu were astonished by this sight, and their nervousness grew even stronger.

They've never seen anything like this before; at most, they've seen scenes in movies of master thieves breaking through layers of security to steal national treasures.

As it turns out, it was only now that we realized the film was still too conservative.
