That night, Zuo Le's comment reply about the next new drama was on the top of the hot search.

This is not an exaggeration, as the No. 1 TV drama director in China, Zuo Le's popularity in the field of TV dramas is not a joke, and his new drama trends have always been a hot spot chased by the media and fans.

Every time Zuo Le announces the trend of a new work, it is indispensable to search several times last time, and this time there is too little news revealed, otherwise the movement will be even greater.

Even so, after the incident broke, several phone calls came.

There are high-level executives of Sunward Company who inquire about the situation, there are platform parties who inquire about the news, and there are artists and agents who secretly want to play a role in Zuole's new drama.

Zuo Le didn't expect that he would suffer so many things with a casual sentence, so he had to say it bluntly or euphemistically.

Now the script of the new drama is still in the creation stage, and even Shanhe has not officially established the project, and the specific matters will be discussed after he finishes the script.

After working for half an hour, he finally blocked these people back, and while Zuo Le breathed a sigh of relief, he also had a little headache about the script of the new drama.

This script, which he has been writing since the end of last year, has almost made sense of the plot.

But what makes him a little entangled is that the plot structure of this new drama is not the same as that of ordinary TV series, and the most important thing is that the plot scale seems to be a little over-line.........

.........

"Mao Liar" is the name of Zuo Le's next new drama.

This drama has appeared in Zuo Le's golden finger since very early on, probably together with the prototype web series "Spicy Next Door" of "College Student's Story".

However, only the first part appeared at that time, Zuo Le took a look at it, and was very uncomfortable with the rough and almost inferior costume and the young and immature performance lines of the actors, so he roughly browsed two episodes and threw it down.

Until the beginning of last year, the second part of "Mao Liar" appeared in Goldfinger because of an update.

Zuo Le was moved by its super high ratings similar to "Breaking through the Guandong" and "The Great Dyeing Workshop", and endured the discomfort and watched the first part again.

And then there are only two words - really fragrant.

Since then, Zuo Le has wanted to film this drama, but because the ending has not yet come out, he has endured it.

Until the middle of last year, the third finale of "Mao Liar" was released.

Zuo Le looked at the Goldfinger Film and Television Player, the final part of "Mao Liar" had a higher rating than "Wulin Gaiden", he couldn't bear to be curious, and he stayed up all day and night to finish watching this drama, and then he was shocked.

A true brain-burning crime drama masterpiece!

Not to mention domestic dramas, it is to bring those classic American dramas, Dongying dramas, and South Korean dramas, and the finale of "Mao Liar" can definitely be ranked in the first sequence.

At that time, if it hadn't been decided to shoot "Latent" first, and there were some flaws in the script of "Mao Liar", it would take time to rectify it, Zuo Le really had the heart to do "Mao Liar" first.

Now that the filming of "Latent" has been completed, Zuo Le also plans to make the drama "Mao Liar" out in the next step, and even temporarily slow down the mountain and river movie plan for this reason.

It can be seen that he loves the drama "Mao Liar......

But to be honest, the situation of the drama "Mao Liar" is really special, and it is not advisable to copy it rigidly, and a lot of revisions must be made.

The plot of "Mao Liar" is complex and has many characters, so a certain number of plots are deleted and added, and in the end, it has to be logical and complete, which can be justified

Changing the script is a nuisance. With Zuo Le's current screenwriting skills, sometimes he feels struggling, and his hairline has quietly moved back by half a centimeter.

The biggest difficulty in the adaptation of the drama "Mao Liar" is that the gap between the first part and the final part is too big.

The first plot of the original "Mao Liar" is just a gang of liars with a lot of personality, specializing in deceiving bad guys, and an alternative story of chivalry.

The main plot is to avenge the heroine Zhao Ning's father who was deceived into committing suicide.

The so-called villain "Fox Organization", in the first part, actually did not show the demeanor of the super mastermind behind the scenes in the later period.

Even due to the tight budget, it seems to be a grass platform team with gangsters, the second boss hides in the basement every day, and the leader asks people to negotiate, all in the hamburger snack bar, which is not high-grade at all.

It wasn't until the second part, Yonghe's revenge, that the main line of the five major companies and prions under the embarrassment organization was introduced, that "Mao Liar" entered the climax in the real sense.

Then the final battle of the finale, the protagonist group defeated the fox organization, all the old grudges and grudges were settled, and the drama was successfully canonized.

In terms of the overall plot structure, most of the plots of the first part of "Mao Liar" are incompatible with the second and third parts, but due to various small foreshadowings and the character backgrounds of several protagonists, they cannot all be abandoned.

At the same time, there is also a Zhao Ning, the heroine of the first part of "Mao Liar", who began to withdraw in the second part, and except for a few easter eggs, there is almost no role for her.

If this character is completely deleted, the gathering of the protagonist group and all the plots of the first part will have to be overturned.

But if Zhao Ning is left, his character attributes will overlap too much with the male protagonist Xiaobao and the second male Shao Zhuang in the later stage.

The double kings of the two smart people can still be filmed, if you add another Zhao Ning, who is not inferior to the two of them, the three parties will work hard, and if you don't do it, the whole plot will collapse.

Because of this, Zuo Le pondered for a long time, and finally came up with a proper solution.

He deleted most of the unwanted branches of the plot of the first part of "Mao Liar", and retained the main line of Zhao Ning's revenge and a small number of brilliant plots.

The main thing is to highlight the stories and feelings of several members of the protagonist group, and by the way, let Xiaobao grow up bit by bit and become the second-generation leader of the team.

Zhao Ning's role in it is to teach Xiaobao to mature, gather the hearts of the team, and mainly play the attribute of a guide.

In the end, Zhao Ning succeeded in revenge, withdrew from the rivers and lakes, and bid farewell to the rights and wrongs of the protagonist group after that.

After that, the plot can take Xiaobao to the top, Shao Zhuang joins the gang, and the protagonist group starts the main line of the five major companies one by one, during which the branch lines of all parties are interspersed.

.........

Probably the plot is sorted out clearly, and what is left to make Zuo Le awkward is that the plot structure of "Mao Liar" is of a unit nature, almost one story per episode.

Even if the finale of "Mao Liar" in the later period always revolves around the main line, and the plot is continuous, each episode still has its own independence from each other.

The length of these episodes ranges from more than 50 minutes to more than an hour, and some are even about the same as a movie.

If you take it apart and shoot it like an ordinary TV series, the plot rhythm is easy to cause confusion, but if you don't dismantle it, the length of a single episode will exceed too much.

Zuo Le once tried to add a little plot to divide it into two episodes, and occasionally just did it, and all the episodes seemed to be watery, which led to the plot dragging on and affecting the quality of the TV series.

Coupled with the scale problem of "Mao Liar".

Although the banner of the protagonist group is "only deceive the bad guys, not the good guys", it can be regarded as chivalrous and righteous, and even has the positive significance of popular science deception to a certain extent.

But then again, in the final analysis, the protagonist group is indeed engaged in illegal acts.

Fooling bad guys is also cheating, and the law doesn't recognize whether you are doing good deeds or not, unless the protagonist group donates money to charity every time.

Just like the Xiangjiang gambling film, the place where the gambling money is made must be legal, but where you play for money, it must be charitable.........

Zuo Le can understand the official review criteria, but he definitely can't change the character setting of "Mao Liar".

Xiaobao and they are a group of scammers who make a living from fraud, and even knocked out the fox organization in the end, and they also made a lot of money.

Punishing evil but rarely promoting good is not particularly in line with the mainstream positive energy values that the government has always admired.

Of course, such a liar character is the most real, if it is changed to cheating money for charity, it is forcibly reasonable, and the whole drama will directly change its taste.

Zuo Le would rather give up "Mao Liar" than shoot indiscriminately, which ruined the show.........

But if you don't change the plot, the plot and character scale are here, even with Zuo Le's face, the TV platform may not dare to launch such a TV series.

So what Zuo Le is entangled with is whether to completely make "Mao Liar" into an online drama.

First, there is no limit to the duration of a single episode of an online drama, as long as the filmmaker wants to shoot it, one movie at a time.

In this way, the problem of the length of a single episode of "Mao Liar" just mentioned is solved.

In addition, the second reason is that the review standards for online dramas are relatively looser, and the plots that cannot be put on TV platforms are not very big problems on video websites, as long as the operation is good.

Zuo Le is not confident that "Mao Liar" will pass the review on the TV platform, but with his current strength, he can basically ensure that the network will not be affected.

After all, "Mao Liar" is not a sensitive subject, nor does it involve any high-voltage lines that cannot be touched, fundamentally speaking, it is a story of a liar fighting a villain.

Such a TV series can't make a big deal, even if some "righteous people" resist criticism, it doesn't hurt.

Now, of course, there is only one intention.

After all, mountains and rivers are generally TV platforms and networks walking on two legs together, and pure online dramas have not been done so far.

In the future, if "Mao Liar" can be released on the TV platform, Zuo Le will definitely not want hundreds of millions of TV copyright fees in vain.

But if it is really not ideal, "Mao Liar" is very likely to be the first online drama of Shanhe.

It is conceivable that there will be no TV platform to share the audience, and "Mao Liar" will also have selling points such as Zuo Le's new drama + crime brain-burning + not low scale, and its premiere and exclusive broadcast rights on the whole platform may be sold at an unpredictable sky-high price.

.........

After all, reviewing or something is an afterthought, and Zuo Le is still looking at the script first.

has done a lot of adaptations of the left version of "Mao Liar", with about 40 episodes, but the length is comparable to 60 episodes of ordinary TV series.

The characters are roughly the same, and the timeline is placed around 2010, one is to take care of the original plot, and the other is to distinguish it from the current time.

In film and television works, it is allowed to "fictionalize or adapt" some realistic plots, and it is also admitted that there may be some mistakes and omissions in the past, as long as it is a positive ending in the end.

But when the reality is close to the timeline, it is best for ordinary people not to touch it easily, otherwise it is easy to have accidents.

In addition, even if you don't cause trouble, it is easy to conflict with reality, and your efforts are thankless, and you will get into a lawsuit in vain.........

More than ten years ago, hello, hello, hello, everyone.

The time background is 2010, and the location is still Quancheng, the base camp of mountains and rivers.

The blessing of Tuoshan River Drama, in recent years, Quancheng has repeatedly appeared as a background city, and its fame has soared, and it has a lot of presence, which has greatly proved its status as the provincial capital of Dongshan.

At least, audiences outside Dongshan Province who often watch mountain and river dramas now will not think that a certain island city is the capital of Dongshan Province.........

After the background is set, let's talk about the initial plot of the left version of "Mao Liar".

Three years ago, a small gang of swindlers appeared in Quancheng, with sophisticated methods and careful actions, and did a lot of cases, shocking the rivers and lakes.

Just when everyone thought that there was another gang of strong men on the road, the gang suddenly disappeared.

To be more precise, it was the gang boss Zhao Ning who disappeared, and the other three broke up one after another, and changed their collective cooperation to individual crimes.

At the beginning of "Mao Liar", Zhao Ning, who has been missing for three years, returns to Quancheng and reunites his three partners to avenge his dead father.

This initial protagonist group consists of four people, each of whom has unique skills and good skills.

The boss, Zhao Ning, is very smart and thoughtful, and the team's deception plans are basically formulated and commanded by her, and she is the backbone of the four.

An Ning, a cold and glamorous beauty, is the face of the foursome, and is also the main actor of the beauty plan and the seduction target.

Xing Dongdong, known as a quick thief, is very skilled, sliding the door and picking the lock, such as entering the house; stealing things closely, can be obtained in an instant, and is the team's right-hand man.

Li Wei, a master of technology, is good at hacking and various technical meticulous work, and has made outstanding achievements.

These four people performed their own duties, cooperated tacitly, and after regrouping, they quickly got a few big fat sheep, and then they were targeted by the two.

The former's name is Xiaobao, the son of an old liar in Qianmen, who grew up in the Qianmen liar industry since he was a child, and likes to cheat for a living.

The latter is the villain fox organization of the drama "Mao Liar".

This is a huge gang of swindlers, the existence of the overlord of the thousand gates of Quancheng, and almost monopolizes all the fraud business in Quancheng.

When the fox people saw Zhao Ning and the others cheating, they thought about driving them out of Quancheng, and later felt that a few people were good, and the second master intended to subdue a few people and let them work for the fox organization.

Although Zhao Ning and others deceive people, they only deceive bad people, and they pay attention to thieves, so they naturally don't look down on the fox who has no scruples, and after Xiaobao passes Zhao Ning's test and joins the gang, the two sides quickly face each other.

Because of the light enemy, coupled with the strong ability of Zhao Ning, Xiaobao and others, the fox organization suffered a lot of losses.

After that, the fox organization, which was gradually enraged, began to increase the pressure on Zhao Ning and others, and the main plot slowly unfolded.

.........

From the point of view of smoothness, the initial plot of the left version of "Mao Liar" is not bad.

As long as the details and actors can keep up, Zuo Le is confident that he will properly integrate it with the later plot and not lag behind.

And compared with the original crew with tight funds, the production intensity of the left version of "Mao Liar" is not trivial, and all kinds of costumes are of the top level, which will definitely make up for the regrets of the lack of funds in the original version.

However, there are pros and cons, the original version is short of money, although the shots are a little cheap and rough, but it also reveals a rare truth in film and television dramas.

After all, passers-by who perform in a group, no matter how natural they behave, can't compare to real passers-by.........

Zuo Le wants to add some real passers-by shots, but the starring role of the left version of "Mao Liar" will definitely not be as unknown as the original version.

As soon as the star appeared, the crew couldn't keep a low profile if they wanted to, so how could they capture the footage of real passers-by.........
