Chapter 10 Screenwriter, Direction

"Old Wang, is there a supreme treasure in this book?"

"Hey, Lao Yu, have you really read all the books?"

"Absolutely! By the way, do you say that the Supreme Treasure of Stephen Chow's "A Chinese Odyssey" come from this book?"

"This shouldn't be. I remember that Supreme Treasure is a pair of Paijiu. In some places, this card is called Monkey Ace or Monkey Prince. Therefore, it should be used to refer to the true identity of Supreme Treasure with the Paijiu card type."

"Oh, you can do it, Lao Wang, you even know this, that's OK!"

"Then look! My old king knows astronomy and geography, China has been around for five thousand years, at home and abroad..."

"Wait a minute, Lao Wang, I'll ask you a story, have you heard of it?"

"What story?"

"Lin Xiangru, Heshi Bi."

“Isn’t this a text?”

“Folk legends are different.”

"It's fresh, tell me."

"By the way, Lin Xiangru held the Heshi Bi and wanted to hit the pillar. The King of Qin had no choice but to ask Lin Xiangru to go back, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, he pulled out his sword and chopped the eunuch beside him. When he cut it, he couldn't help but scold 'Crashing the wall! Crashing the wall! I told you to hit the wall!' Although the eunuch was cut to death, his soul still existed. He didn't blame the King of Qin in his heart, but he listened to the King of Qin's order and must show off in the next life! The King of Qin asked him to pretend, so, more than two thousand years have passed, and the eunuch has experienced reincarnation..."

"I can go to yours!"

...

When I saw Yu Zili again, it was at Teacher Chen’s house. Teacher Chen went to the kitchen to pour water for the two of them. Unexpectedly, they put them here and put them on the bed.

When Teacher Chen came back, he almost burst into laughter, so naturally the three of them had fun together.

Although it is a commercial screenwriter team, the atmosphere is quite good in their three-person group.

But I have to do serious things next. Teacher Chen’s expression became a little more serious, “What, I’ll talk about it first.”

Wang Yu and Yu Zili laughed and listened carefully.

Teacher Chen said: "The reason why I asked you two to help this time has a lot to do with the meeting half a month later. The script of this TV series is relatively urgent and time is very tight. Moreover, Zhu Yu, he is not ordinary. But I will tell you nothing more. I don't want to be led by the other party. As for the reason, guess what you two are?"

Chen Wengui looked at Lao Wang and Lao Yu. He originally planned to give the answer immediately, after all, such a puzzle is meaningless.

Lao Yu really didn't understand what this said, but Lao Wang smiled at this time.

"Teacher Chen, I guess this should be the case. When Taiwanese screenwriters adapted martial arts novels, they liked to change them into romance dramas."

Wang Yu did not say everything he thought. In fact, he knew very well what Teacher Chen meant, that is, at this stage, in terms of the film and television industry, people from Hong Kong and Taiwan are relatively strong, or simply say that they have a strong sense of superiority in front of us mainlanders.

Although he didn't say all this, he heard Teacher Chen clapping his hands hard.

"Yes! That's the situation!" Teacher Chen now felt like Wang Yu the more he looked at him. Moreover, he just said something, "And, they still have a big problem, that is, they can't listen to people's words, just say me, I... forget it, anyway, it's just that arrogant look, you guys think about it yourself."

Die again.

Wang Yu knew in his heart that he was pretending to be confused on his face. Lao Yu was really confused, but when it comes to martial arts dramas in Taiwan Province, he couldn't help but complain.

"After saying this, I remembered it. In the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" a few years ago, Oh, what's that called? Sister Haimei, who I especially like, is really... Zhou Zhiruo was raped every few days. Although it was all attempted, she was mentally abnormal!

And that Ma Daha, who was shouting there when he had nothing to do, was he still talking to Xu Xian, right? The two of them were silly all day long. You love me, I don’t love you, my God!

Just because I watched this drama, I thought, why did Master Jin look like Aunt Qiongyao?

I just looked for a book to read, I can do it, it's all made up!"

Lao Yu’s complaints are very vivid, especially those of Ma Daha, Xu Xian and other titles, which make people laugh.

After laughing for a while, Lao Wang couldn't help asking, "What's next?"

Lao Yu immediately said: "Later, I slowly showed all Master Jin's works, and then I decided to be a screenwriter."

As soon as he finished speaking, Teacher Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "Then, the screenwriter of Taiwanese martial arts dramas is still a meritorious minister!"

As soon as these words came out, the three of them laughed happily again.

This chat almost went off topic. What we are going to adapt this time is Gu Long's masterpiece.

"I'll tell you to open it. We want to win this time! We must make our script better than the scripts of Taiwanese screenwriters! Only in this way can this martial arts novel bloom the light it deserves!"

Teacher Chen was very imposing and his words were very passionate. The two young people saw it and there was a fire in their eyes.

In fact, what Wang Yu just mentioned is completely correct. The martial arts dramas in Taiwan Province of our country are really too romance.

However, they are not without martial arts dramas, such as "Bao Qingtian" and "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness", Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, they are really heroic and righteous.

So who is the screenwriter?

It was the fat black man in front of me, Mr. Chen Wengui. Of course, he didn’t write everything, but he wrote the most episodes.

When watching the video yesterday, Wang Yu felt that the screenwriter's name on some video tape looked familiar, so he checked it, which surprised him a lot.

Wang Yuxi's martial arts was changed to romance, not only to the preferences of Teacher Chen.

In fact, two points can be deduced now.

1. Teacher Chen and Zhu Yu know each other.

2. Wang Yu also remembers the plot of this version of "Little Li Flying Knife". He can be sure that the second half should be written by screenwriter Zhu Yu.

In the second half of the plot, as the original writers think, the scolding is light, and they even want to dig the screenwriter's ancestral grave!

It's no exaggeration.

However, it is very difficult to beat the other party.

Although Teacher Chen changed his mind again, he did not say everything.

Another key is investors. Now investors still trust filmmakers in Hong Kong and Taiwan more. They think that these people have experience and can help them make money.

Then what kind of princess' great success is right in front of her.

Wang Yu thought so, but Teacher Chen did not stop.

"We have to come up with a sample within two weeks, at least we have to complete the plot structure."

Plot structure, generally speaking, in a screenwriter team, the person who formulates the plot structure can leave his name first in the screenwriter column in the film and television subtitles.

Don’t underestimate the ranking of subtitles for movies and TV series, this represents the power ranking in the crew.

"Xiao Wang, Xiao Yu, do you two have any ideas?"

A screenwriter who can leave his name now asks two gunmen he hired for plot structure.

This fully demonstrates how urgent this script is and how tight it is.

Wang Yu thought about this, but he didn't say anything for a moment, and Lao Yu was very smart.

"Teacher Chen, you should have an idea."

Teacher Chen couldn't help but smile, "I, I really want to follow the original novel plot!"

It turns out that he is an original writer.

Teacher Chen continued: "I personally think that this "The Relentless Swordsman" can be said to be Mr. Gu Long's best work. Of course, this is my personal idea, so let's not argue about these things now."

After hearing this, Wang Yu and Yu Zili couldn't help but nod.

"But..." Teacher Chen said 'but' and frowned.

Wang Yu couldn't help but continue: "But you can't do this, because you will definitely fail."

Teacher Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this.

And Lao Yu was even more interesting, "Hao, you two have the flavor of Gu Long's book."

Does it have an internal flavor?

Wang Yu smiled embarrassedly, but Teacher Chen was generous.

"Indeed, Xiao Wang is right, so you must not do this, because there was such a movie in 1990, "The Swordsman" filmed by Changzhou Studios, which was filmed almost entirely according to the novel. Almost all the lines were dialogues in the book, but they failed."

That's it. The predecessors have failed. If we write the script like this, investors will definitely deny us.

So, what to do?

But at this moment, Yu Zili couldn't help but look at Wang Yu a few more times.

The two of them were joking just now, implying that Lao Wang was pretending to behave, but now he saw that Lao Wang was really knowledgeable. If he didn't know that there was such a version in 1990, he would definitely not be able to accept Teacher Chen's words.

Lao Yu's heart changed a little.

Wang Yu didn't pay attention, and he suddenly asked a strange question, "Teacher Chen, who is the director of our play?"

Chen Wengui directly replied: "Yuan Heping from Hong Kong is the director of the head, but he is just named. The two directors in the mainland are actually filming."

Wang Yu immediately continued to ask: "Mr. Gu Long's work seems to have a greater influence in Hong Kong than in Taiwan?"

Teacher Chen nodded, "That's right! "The Swordsman of the Passionate" has many versions of film and television dramas in Hong Kong. I have not specifically investigated it, but this novel is probably the most popular film and television dramas. It can even be said that Mr. Gu Long's novel became popular in film and television dramas, and then it brought about another wave of martial arts film and television dramas. By the way, there is also a theme song, sung by Mr. Luo Wen. The influence of this song is very amazing. Do you want to listen to it? I'll sing it for you."

The fat black man was about to speak, and both Lao Wang and Lao Yu said, "Teacher Chen, don't speak, we are our own people."

"I'm actually good at singing Cantonese songs." Teacher Chen looked unwilling, which made Lao Wang and Lao Yu feel in his heart that they probably saved their lives and came back.

So, why should Wang Yu ask this?

He had already thought of the way to win!

But for now, it is better to write the plot structure first.

"Teacher Chen, I used yesterday to read several versions from Hong Kong. From these versions, I found that they mainly revolve around the 'Plum Blossom Steal', and the second half of the money gang is not much to follow Shangguan Jinhong. Moreover, it is basically divided into two parts by a book. Why don't we make a change?"

He really has an idea!

Although Teacher Chen was a little surprised, he was quite happy. Lao Yu's face changed a little, but fortunately, it was normal again soon.

Wang Yu continued to talk about his thoughts, "Most of the Hong Kong film and television versions are thinking about one thing, which is who the "Plum Blossom Steal" is. I think, we might as well combine the Plum Blossom Steal with Shangguan Jinhong to make Shangguan Jinhong a real Plum Blossom Steal. Of course, it is not that he is the Plum Blossom Steal, but that the mastermind behind the Plum Blossom Stealing incident, which is him.

And the reason why this leader of the Money Gang, who ranked second in the world, did this is for something."

Teacher Chen and Lao Yu were fascinated by the fact that they couldn't help but ask, "What?"
Chapter completed!
