Chapter 046: Adaptation Mission
"Old man Ma, what are you busy with? It took so long to open the door. ”
After entering Old Man Ma's house, Yan Lin didn't regard himself as an outsider, walked to the water dispenser, picked up a disposable cup, and asked while receiving water.
As soon as he got off the plane, he didn't even return to the company, so he came to visit the old man first, and rubbed his meal by the way.
Who knew that he had been shouting outside for a long time, and Old Man Ma was late.
Old Man Ma didn't answer him, and said directly: "Come with me to the study." ”
Yan Lin followed with a puzzled expression, and as soon as he arrived at the study, Old Man Ma picked up a thick notebook from the table and handed it to him, saying, "This task will be handed over to you." ”
"What is this?"
Yan Lin asked casually, then opened the book, and soon the five big characters of "The Great Idler of the Tang Dynasty" came into his eyes.
He is no stranger to this name, he remembers that one of the works of a great god writer in Dianniang is this name.
He hurriedly flipped back, and after seeing those familiar names, he was sure that he had guessed correctly, and hurriedly asked, "What's the situation?"
Old man Ma explained: "This is the copyrighted novel that Linlin bought, she wants to adapt it into a TV series, originally she wanted me to write the script, but now that you are here, this task will be handed over to you." ”
The reason why he opened the door to Yan Lin for so long was because he was writing a script.
But after all, he is old, a little unable to keep up with the trend of the times, and he has never been exposed to online novels, so he can't accept this literary form, and he doesn't know how to write for a while.
It just so happened that Yan Lin came, and he simply handed over this headache task to him.
Although it was only a whim to accept students when he was in the Universe Kingdom, after Yan Lin came to the door, he did not dare to mislead people's children, and taught Yan Lin what he had learned in his life very carefully.
To be a good director, he must first be a good screenwriter, how to write a screenplay and tell a story well, which is also an important content he teaches.
He believed that Yan Lin had this ability.
Yan Lin was a little confused now.
The old thief is a writer he likes very much, and his writing is humorous and witty, and he laughs at the dead without having to pay for his life and then acts recklessly.
Yan Lin has read every one of his works, especially the hypocrite and this big idler, he has read it several times, and it can be called a healing medicine for his mood if he reads it once.
He didn't expect Ma Lin to buy the copyright of this novel, and he didn't expect that the final adaptation would fall into his own hands.
He didn't refuse, anyway, he went back to Kyoto only on a temporary basis, and there was nothing to do, which was a very good opportunity for him.
Even if it really can't be written well, it's a big deal to return it to Old Man Ma at that time, but it's just a delay and no loss.
Yan Lin was thinking about the plot in the book at the moment, and he didn't have the heart to stay any longer, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Old Man Ma.
He didn't ask about the actors, and now that the script hasn't come out, it is estimated that the others will not be arranged so soon.
And since this is a drama that the company plans to invest in filming, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the company is currently an artist for him, not to mention a brother, even a sister is him, and he is not worried about not being able to eat meat.
Yan Lin also has a place to live in Kyoto, which was arranged for him by the company, in a community with a very good environment and security.
With his current financial ability, he can't even afford to buy a toilet in Kyoto, let alone a toilet pit.
After taking a taxi back to his residence, Yan Lin started to get busy without saying a word.
In order to make it easier for Old Man Ma to read, Ma Lin deliberately printed out the entire novel, but Yan Lin has read this novel many times, and he is familiar with each plot and can't use it at all.
He soon began to write.
When he took over this task, he already had an idea in his heart, and he decided to learn from "Celebrating More Than Years".
Last year, as soon as the drama was broadcast, it became popular all over the country, swept up the circle of friends, and also opened the on-demand mode, making the two broadcast platforms earn a lot of money.
There are many reasons why this drama is popular, the right characters are chosen, the original book has a huge readership, etc., but the most important of them is that the script is well adapted.
Nowadays, many film and television works are adapted from online novels, which seems to have formed a trend.
There are a lot of mistakes in the adaptation of female frequencies, after all, they are all about love and love, and the adaptation is very simple.
The male frequency is different, because there are a lot of involved, and it is very difficult to adapt, most of them are borrowed from a shell, and the adapted things have nothing to do with the original work, and it can even be said to destroy the original work.
And Qing Yu Nian is one of the few film and television works that has been adapted to the satisfaction of the original party.
Although the screenwriter also made changes to the plot when adapting it, this is inevitable.
Novels and film and television are two different cultural carriers, with different ways of expression and different effects of expression.
Many plots that are interesting in novels are likely to become boring in film and television works, and some cannot even be expressed directly.
A novel can describe all aspects of a plot, but the film and television work must be selective.
So, changes are inevitable, but the core things he hasn't changed.
On this basis, the screenwriter also incorporated a lot of stalks in the process of adaptation, and a serious conspiracy drama turned into a comedy, making the whole work have tears, laughter, and ignition.
So, it's on fire.
Yan Lin once seriously analyzed this work from the perspective of a screenwriter, and finally had to admit that this screenwriter is really a ghost.
Now the reason why he wants to learn from the script model of Qing Yunian is that in addition to its popularity, the more important point is that the novel "The Great Idler of the Tang Dynasty" is really suitable for this form.
The old thief's works are known for their humorous writing, and many of his characters are very interesting, which is very consistent with the emotional tone of the TV series version of Qing Yu Nian.
Stinky beauty, love to look in the mirror, the protagonist Li Su with cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
For the old disrespect, Cheng Cheng, the demon king of the mixed world who carries the handle of the Tang underworld, bites gold.
mixed in Chang'an, the people of the rivers and lakes sent Wang Zhi, who was nicknamed Wang Stuffy Stick.
The king who can't beat his wife but wants to save face.
Each character has a very interesting side, and the adaptation will not be adapted.
After determining the direction, Yan Lin did not delay, brushing and writing non-stop.
