Chapter 191: Adaptation Opinions (2)
Regarding Lin Su's point of view, Chen Wensheng didn't speak, but it could be seen from his eyes that he actually agreed.
After all, the main thrust of the original book is clear.
Lin Su thought that since the issue of the heroine was mentioned, he should say it all at once.
"Teacher,In addition to the emotional line that I don't think is appropriate,There are also some other changes to the heroine in the first draft that are suspected of weakening.。 ”
Looking at the teacher's attentive eyes, Lin Su continued.
For example, in the second scene of episode 35, the heroine Li Jun knows how to deal with the betrayal of the maid next to her. ”
In the original book, Qin'er is also an important person, she was arranged by the old people of the previous dynasty to take care of her by Li Jun's side, since she was eight years old, she has been following her for ten years, nominally a master and servant, but in private it is a deep sisterhood, in the face of such a person's betrayal, Li Jun is very sad but does not hesitate to choose to kill her relatives in righteousness. ”
"Because Qin'er violated her bottom line and did a big mistake that brought disaster to the country and the people. ”
The first draft of the adaptation was changed to Li Jun forgiving Qin'er, just because of ten years of sisterhood. ”
This is actually not in line with Li Jun's personality, she attaches great importance to love and righteousness, but she has principles and bottom lines, even her relatives will never ignore it. ”
Lin Su looked at the teacher and his tone was a little relaxed, "Teacher, you know better than me, the logic of the character's behavior should be in line with the character." ”
Chen Wensheng was silent.
Actually, it was also discussed when they adapted this place.
In other words, all the changes are the result of discussion and controversy.
He said: "The logic of Li Jun's behavior in the original book is because she is a lawyer, so she attaches importance to the equality of the legal system in her bones, regardless of relatives or relatives. ”
"But the adapted script is different, you can't use a crossing identity, and the character design doesn't have to be so strict. ”
Lin Su was stunned for a moment.
She always felt that something was wrong.
Thinking with a frown on her brows, she suddenly reacted, and she pretended to be angry and said, "Teacher, you are cheating!"
The fact that the crossing can't be used is only now that it is said, and it was still used when I wrote the first draft.
In fact, they deliberately weakened the strictness and strength of the heroine and amplified the softness of the heroine.
This is the case with a lot of similar plots in the first draft.
Chen Wensheng also smiled when he saw through her.
sighed softly, and then said in a deep voice: "Li Jun, she is too strong, especially in the middle and late stages, her resourcefulness and actions can only be caught by Ziyu." ”
"Although "Seeking the World" is a big heroine drama, it is also a group drama, and it is not a good thing that she is too prominent. ”
So they tried to make the character of Li Jun a little more generalized and less personal heroic.
Lin Su was stunned again.
She had never felt that way when the teacher said this.
Is Li Jun too strong?
Not really.
Lin Su likes to be reasonable, so she also fell into thinking and carefully combed the characters in her mind.
Although she had read it many times, she hadn't been to the book review section much, so she didn't know that readers had already discussed these similar issues.
Otherwise, she would have been able to refute Chen Wensheng without hesitation.
After sorting it out, she responded: "Teacher, it's not like this." ”
"Li Jun is strong, but her strength will not make people feel abrupt, her ability is gradually enhanced from countless assassinations and predicaments, there is a growth line and a logical line, not to be strong for the sake of being strong. ”
After a pause, she looked at the teacher and continued: "If Li Jun's character is placed in a male lead play, do you think it is very reasonable?"
Everyone she is talking about here refers to the screenwriting teachers of Chuyang.
Lin Su is implying that they don't like strong women in their bones.
To put it bluntly, it is typical machismo.
Chen Wensheng naturally understood what she meant, and this was the reason why he recruited Lin Su in the first place.
"Well, you have all the ideas you have. ”
Lin Su originally wanted to say it no matter what, but now that he heard his words, there was no pressure in his heart.
"Teacher, you said that Li Jun is too prominent in the group drama, but in fact, this is not the case, she has friends and like-minded people around her along the way, and many times her layout is inseparable from everyone's help and cooperation, she is not a personal hero image. ”
"The other characters in this drama are also very full, and there are also those who do not lose to her in terms of resourcefulness, in addition to Ziyu, there are also Qin Song and Li Hou in the villain roles. ”
"A good court drama must have a wonderful rivalry between the positive and the villain, and "Seeking the World" is a story of equal wits and courage. ”
Chen Wensheng listened to her words quietly, and a satisfied look flashed in his eyes.
Especially what she said at the end, a good drama is inseparable from rival plays.
Nowadays, there are many scripts written by many people on the market that deliberately weaken the villain's IQ in order to highlight the protagonist.
This is not desirable.
Lin Su didn't know what the teacher was thinking, and seeing that he didn't speak, he also followed the silence to think about the current situation.
What she said today directly pointed out the inherent problems of Chuyang's screenwriters.
But that doesn't mean she's against these teachers.
On the contrary, she respects her family and wants to learn from everyone.
Because the quality of the scripts written by the screenwriters of Chuyang is obvious to all, they are just not good at the heroine.
So since the failure of the big heroine drama many years ago, they haven't been exposed to this kind of theme again.
Knowing how to build on your strengths and avoid your weaknesses is a wise move.
This also shows that the screenwriter teachers of Chuyang also know it in their hearts, but they can't change their inherent habits.
That's why I joined in.
Thinking of this, Lin Su raised his eyes to look at the teacher, and whispered, "Teacher, wasn't the main purpose of you recruiting me in the first place to improve Chuyang's shortcomings?"
Chen Wensheng finally smiled.
"You girl knows everything. After he commented, his expression became serious, and he said, "Okay, you can first change the second draft of "Seeking the World" according to your own wishes. ”
Lin Su also showed a look of surprise.
But she was very cautious, she was not carried away by joy, and thought of Teacher Gao in an instant.
She hesitated, "Do you want permission from Mr. Gao?"
After all, "Seeking the World" is a project of the two of them, and the first draft of the collaborative adaptation.
If you really want to join the project, out of respect, you should have both of you agree.
Chen Wensheng understood what she meant, and he also liked her non-greedy and thoughtful attitude.
If the average newcomer encounters such an opportunity, how can he take care of anything else, he would have been eager to get started.
This girl can be thoughtful without fighting.
Chen Wensheng showed a reassuring smile, and his tone was also very easy-going, "You just do it, I talked to him a few years ago on Lao Gao's side, and there will be no opinions." ”
The first draft of "Seeking the World" was edited by him, and Lao Gao was the second editor, and Lao Gao couldn't take care of this project at the moment, so he completely gave it to him.
And now he has handed over the adaptation rights to this girl.
Lin Su was relieved when he heard this promise, and he was able to write the second draft with peace of mind.
She had carefully studied this first draft before, and it was worthy of being a teacher's work, except for some places that weakened the hostess's design, it was a rare good script.
In other words, what she has to do next is to adapt the crossing elements, and some of the heroine scenes, and the rest almost don't have to move.
