Chapter 159: The Long Night of Nothingness
Everyone expected "World Trial" to be a big hit.
But they still couldn't predict that it would be such an unstoppable torrent.
The overwhelming crushing of all works in the same period, both in terms of views and discussions.
"We may have overlooked one thing - how much weight does the IP of "World Trial" have?"
"Hmm......" Ye Nai glanced at Chen Qingyan with a biscuit in his mouth, put down the pen, took the water cup next to him, and poured the contents into his mouth before responding, "You ask me?"
Chen Qingyan said "um", and then said, "You are a screenwriter and a writer, so you should have some understanding of online texts." β
At least deeper than him.
Chen Qingyan usually reads some online articles, but reading books and understanding this industry are completely different things.
Even if a person reads a book for ten years and asks him about the fashion trends over the years, the commercial value of the gods, and the difference in the trend of the website, he may not be able to get an answer.
Being a reader and being an author are looking in completely different directions.
Misunderstandings about online literature emerge in an endless stream, and there are many people who claim to be familiar with online literature after sweeping the rankings.
Thankfully, Ye Nai wasn't that kind of person.
She also wanted to try to be an online writer, although she chose to give up after a failure, but her attention to industry news and mainstream trends did not fall.
"Portions, it's a bit hard to say. The screenwriter, who works overtime, glanced at the messy notepad in his hand, closed it and put it aside, "For example, do you know "Under the City", "The End is on the Side"?
"You know...... A few. Chen Qingyan opened the search engine.
"They represent the three types of IP addresses. β
"Under the City" is an orthodox fantasy upgrade masterpiece, the youthful feelings and memories of a generation, with its smooth rhythm and serial explosions, he has become the newcomer king of the year in Chinese.
Even those who haven't read the book have heard its name.
It can be said that "Under the City" almost has the greatest commercial value that an online IP can achieve, and it also has the difficulty of film and television adaptation.
The original work was released several years ago, and many plots that were breakthrough at the time were later repeated again and again, becoming well-known "bad routines".
And that's not the biggest difficulty, not even the difficulty.
The book has more than five million words, and a lot of space is devoted to depicting battle scenes.
ββAccording to the consistent characteristics of Gaowu Fantasy, those battle scenes are also unimaginable.
Just two words: "Burn money!"
Want to adapt it according to the original book? The company can't finish filming even if it goes bankrupt.
So I can only rearrange the plot and suppress the long story of millions of words into dozens of episodes, and the combat special effects...... Anyway, I don't have any money, so I can make do with it.
The final presentation is unsurprisingly ...... It's amazingly rotten.
Even investing in an online drama with less than one-tenth of its investment in the same period, the viewing experience is better than the TV series "Under the City".
Angry readers attacked it, and the actors and fans in the play struggled to reply, and the exchanges between the two sides successfully brought traffic that shook the whole network for this TV series.
The TV series "Under the City" was a great commercial success, and the news of the film adaptation rushed to the hot search in the same year.
This is considered to be the beginning of the trend of IP adaptation of online texts, and it is also considered to be the turning point of the further deterioration of the film and television entertainment industry.
It represents the most classic and well-known IP operation of "destroying the original work and traffic".
And the second "End on the Side" mentioned by Ye Nai is the other extreme.
The original work is not very famous, but the length and content are more suitable for adaptation, and I was lucky to meet a conscientious team.
After the TV series was broadcast, it was encircled by excellent quality conflicts, and even the original works that were not popular all year round also rushed to the sales list.
These two books are both male-oriented works, and the last "Xiaoxiao Rain Break" is naturally a female-oriented work.
In fact, there are many female adaptation TV series that are better or worse than it, but those adaptation models are similar to "Under the City" and "The End is on the Side".
And this one magically encapsulates several significant features of the TV series adapted from the female frequency-
The original work is deeply involved in plagiarism, the actors are more popular than the other, the overall quality is quite good, it is hot searched every day when it is broadcast, and it is instantly out of breath after the broadcast, and only when the plagiarism drama is counted every year, it will be pulled out and walked around.
Online adaptation of film and television is almost these three modes.
The first type of reader feels sorry for the book and feels sorry for himself even more.
The second type of reader is happy to descend from heaven and cannot help himself.
The third type of reader...... emmmm is either blacked out or hacked.
The animation adaptation feels better, probably because the overall ebb of the animation industry is not as obvious as that of film and television, but the general type is still the same.
"The more popular the book itself, the higher the IP value, but the fire book is often not suitable for adaptation, and those screenwriters who have good self-consciousness can't grasp the shining point of the original work and produce a bad one. Ye Nai said that his peers were also ruthless, ""The World Review" should have been the first kind, its pure literary value is higher than that of all previous books, and the difficulty of adaptation is also. β
Chen Qingyan searched out the reading interface of "World Trial", and the comment area was occupied by new and old readers who had just finished watching the animation.
"When I heard others blow "World Trial", I didn't think about it, thinking that I hadn't seen any masterpieces for so many years. Until I watched the first episode...... In order to avoid being spoiled by barrage and comments, I decided to spoil myself and then ...... What kind of god is this!"
"I'm going to slap myself in the face. I knew a long time ago that the rights to "World Trial" had been sold, but I didn't have much hope at all. The gentle and cruel journey written by Wenda, the starry sky that crosses the triple world and is still the same, I don't believe that the adaptation can have the feeling of the original book......"
"Shadow Particles come out and get beaten! Look at what an adaptation is? This TM is called an adaptation! What kind of garbage is that kind of propaganda video you are showing?"
"Really cry out...... Not for the animation, but for the sake of the text, this author, who was lost in his ideals, finally found his rightful way. β
"May I ask, what chapters correspond to the plot of the first episode of the anime?
Nervous fans are holding on to the first episode of the anime with hope, and Wen Weifu, who they have high hopes for, also returns with a beginning to the future.
- The gods are born, and the crowds revel.
Chen Qingyan suddenly felt that this scene was a little dazzling.
But that's the reality......
There are some people who are born to stand at the top.
And when you catch up, you can only see his back that never looks back.
"'World-style Trial' is not a 'web adaptation' in the traditional sense. Ye Nai opened the notepad again and stared at the words on it, "It will usher in a new era." β
Xinyue saw its potential and spared no effort to build momentum for it.
Color ink sees its value, so it does its best to achieve quality.
The only variable is that the text is not restored.
As an animation screenwriter for the first time, what kind of level can he play?
"The first online writer in the twenty-first century who is close to the gods of the last century, he is not yet thirty years old......"
Contemporaries sighed.
The long cultural trough seems to be just last night, and the world today is still mired in the whirlpool of appearances, but tomorrow will be long overdue, and the dawn will be unwilling to pierce reality.
Ye Nai clenched his pen tightly and raised his head, "Chen Qingyan, I want to change the script." β
"Aren't you changing?"
"It's different, this time it's a big change. There was a spark of ambition in her eyes, "Overturn all the original plots and start all over again." β
Not enough, just the current one, it's not enough.
