"It is difficult to draw a heart to paint a person to paint a skin ", what kind of story will this " paint a skin person " tell?
On November 20th, " Liao Zhai New Biography: Painted Skin Man " was launched in Xiangshan Film and Television City. The film is directed by Yin Bo and produced by Infinite Wonderful (Wuxi) Film Company and Anhui Zeshen Film Company. This time, from a new perspective, it breaks the audience's traditional impression of Liao Zhai and interprets a different Liao Zhai story.
based on the current market: Liao Zhai theme is still hot
Twelve years ago, "Painted Skin" became a model of domestic movies with a box office of 200 million and a high reputation, opening the era of domestic magic movies. Twelve years later, he had the courage to break through his own "Painted Skin Man" to start shooting and re-interpret the "Painted Skin" story.
After the visual presentation of classic movies and TV series such as "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Painted Skin", the Liao Zhai series has gradually become the darling of film and television adaptations. With the continuous filming of "Strange Stories from a Lonely Studio", "Liao Zhai" has become a well-deserved national IP. Throughout the current film and television market, the subject of Liao Zhai has been interpreted and interpreted many times. But whether it is from content or market analysis, "Liao Zhai" is still full of infinite value and possibilities.
Among all the ancient literary works that have been adapted, "Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio" may be the first to be adapted into a film and television work, and it is also the most adapted ancient novel of gods and monsters. As a masterpiece of Chinese classical literature, "Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio" has a wide range of subjects and rich content, and has extremely high artistic achievements. The characters are bright, the plot is tortuous, and the writing is simple and delicate. It is the pinnacle of short stories in classical Chinese.
Compared with other classical masterpieces, "Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio" is short in story, numerous in content, and broad in subject matter, making it very suitable for shooting independent films and TV series. Among the many chapters of "Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio", the unit of "Painted Skin" is one of the chapters most adapted into film and television works, and it is also the one most familiar to the audience.
Putting the classic adaptation on the screen is indeed a big challenge. Although Zhuyu is ahead, the Infinite Wonderful (Wuxi) Film Company, as the production company, is still full of confidence in this adaptation. According to director Yin Bo, "The Painted Skin Man in Liao Zhai New Biography" focuses on characters with rich emotions and complex personalities, and fully demonstrates the brilliance of human nature through thrilling love stories.

demonstrates the spirit of craftsmanship: classic inheritance and innovation
Now, "Liao Zhai New Edition: Painted Skin Man" has entered the intense shooting. With the filming of the film, the topic of "remake" once again sparked audience discussion.
"Remake" is definitely not a derogatory term. The remake of the classics does not affect the significance and value of the classics.
With the development of technology, the remake can technically make the previous works more sophisticated. At the same time, the costumes, makeup and props of film and television dramas also need to keep pace with the times to adapt to the aesthetic vision of modern young audiences. Through the remake, we can see the interpretation of the work by actors of different eras and even different eras, and can understand a work more comprehensively and diversified.
"The theme of Liao Zhai we think is a classic Chinese story praising good and evil, involving human nature, good and evil, beautiful love, and fantasy. Our new edition of Liao Zhai is more about reinterpreting the classic story of Liao Zhai from the aesthetic perspective of today's society. , But will not be misinterpreted and adapted, we are more to interpret Liao Zhai classics from the perspective of human nature." Director Yin Bo said in the interview. He hopes to show more stories about the good and evil of human nature and the beauty of the world through this "Liao Zhai New Compilation of Painted Skin People", and maintain the original intention of human nature.
Produced by Infinite Wonderful (Wuxi) Film Company, a full-time film and television investment and production company, and has been deeply involved in content creation. In 2018, Infinite Wonderful (Wuxi) Film Company first tested the theme of Liao Zhai. Its wholly-owned film "Liao Zhai New Biography of Strange Women" was broadcast in cooperation with theaters, Yangliu, iQiyi and other platforms, laying a good public reputation and market foundation. This time I tried the theme of Liao Zhai again, which is not only a tribute to the classics, but also an understanding of the times.
As the saying goes: "If you don't break, you won't stand." "Liao Zhai New Edition: Painted Skin Man" is brave to innovate and completely breaks the original narrative routine. It combines the gripping "suspense brain burning" with the lingering "love entanglement", making the plot more intense and exciting, and the perilous fantasy atmosphere fuller Sensible. Therefore, this "Liao Zhai New Compilation of Painted Skin Man" is by no means an imitation show, nor is it a drama that tells the magical stories of ghosts and monsters in the traditional concept. It is a new concept of fantasy love giant system.
The classic remake is the continuation and inheritance of the classic. If you want to do the remake, you must understand the classics, respect the original, and at the same time uphold the spirit of craftsmanship and strive to innovate in order to succeed. Infinite Wonderful (Wuxi) Film Company is constantly cultivating content and striving to bring more and better quality works to the audience.
