Chapter 783: Immortal Sword Script
The creation of the scripts of "Infernal Affairs II" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy II" was created at the same time, divided into two groups.
Depending on the length, the structure of the script is naturally completely different.
The coherence of the film script is naturally stronger, which is basically the beginning and the end: the opening, the motivational event, the development, the climax, and the ending.
There may be two or three ups and downs in the development part, and if it is done well, it will be progressive, and if it is not done well, it will be slow and procrastinating.
Fortunately, the script of "Infernal Affairs II" is gripping and fascinating, and it will never give people such a feeling.
As for the script of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy II", the changes in character relationships, plot line arrangement, point placement, plot density, etc. are completely different from "Infernal Affairs II".
Because it is a long story, it is difficult to hold up with a single clue, and the multi-line parallel development also tests the screenwriter's ability to plan the layout of the story.
The general direction is set, and the plot direction and character relationship changes in a single episode must be considered, and the excitement of a single scene in each episode, including the refinement of lines, is the last thing to consider.
TV series has a "continuous" requirement in it, if the characters and character relationships are stagnant or even broken, no matter how wonderful the bridge is, it will not be continuous, which is also the difficulty of TV drama scripts.
A few years have passed, and even if Yi Shuihan's memory is good, it is impossible to remember all the lines clearly, and these jobs depend on the strength of the studio's screenwriters.
It stands to reason that the shorter "Infernal Affairs II" should be completed relatively quickly, after all, a movie is one and a half hours short, and no matter how long it is, it can't reach three hours.
But in fact, on the contrary, every line and scene of "Infernal Affairs II" needs to be considered and considered repeatedly, but the script of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy II" was completed first.
The script was in Yi Shuihan's hands as soon as it was completed, and he couldn't wait to open the script and read it carefully.
This reading is a whole day, knowing that the intense hunger pang wakes him up, and he realizes that it is already night.
In the play, Long Yang, Fei Peng, Sedum, Xu Changqing, Lin Linping, Zixuan, Xi Yao, Mao Mao, each character has a distinct personality, which also touched him.
In fact, the script in Yi Shuihan's hand is not so much like the script of the TV series in the previous life, but rather the game script of "Sword and Fairy III".
The previous TV series "Sword and Fairy III" was also adapted from the game, but in Yi Shuihan's opinion, some changes were added to the snake, and it can even be said that it is unrecognizable.
For example, Sedum, the protagonist of the game, as the protagonist of the game, if there is no attraction then it is unconvincing to be surrounded by so many female characters.
Sedum in the game is an out-and-out little person, who works hard every day, and is also successful in his own pawnshop, and his dream is to open his own pawnshop.
Therefore, he has the simplicity and kindness of a little person, and also has some characteristics of a little person, who loves money and likes to take advantage of small advantages.
But he understands and understands, so he will accompany Xue Jian to wander the world, so he will take Xiao Kui of unknown origin to act together, so he can go to find the Five Spirit Beads without asking for anything in return.
And this Sedum in the TV series in the previous life is obviously not so likable. He likes to be listened to, he thinks he is great, he calls himself a hero.
He will point fingers at the people who have saved him several times, he can turn his face faster than he can turn a book, and he likes to give people uncultured and unfunny nicknames.
He likes to steal things and prefers to go to casinos, he doesn't have any ability, the only thing he will do is hide behind others, behind the magic sword, the most ridiculous thing is that he is actually the reincarnation of a god.
In his last life, when he watched Sedum show off the two jade teeth without the slightest laugh or laugh at the villain in the TV series for a while, he just wanted to sigh, can such a guy without any personality charm really make so many people like it!
As far as the heroine is concerned, the same is true, in the game, Xue has been the eldest lady of the Tang family for more than ten years, but all kinds of hardships are unknown to ordinary people.
What if there is a grandfather's pet, such a big Tangjiabao, how many people besides grandpa treat her sincerely?
So although she is the eldest lady, although she is willful, she is by no means unreasonable.
She will force Sedum to accompany her to the end of the world, but when she knows that danger is coming, she will resolutely leave to face it alone; she will eat Xiao Kui's vinegar, but in the end she will fight side by side with Xiao Kui; it is best to block the danger for Sedum and go to the ghost world......
And the TV series' Yukimi once again made Yi Shuihan helpless, under the unrecognizable adaptation, what was left of this Yukimi.
She likes to cry, make trouble and hang herself, she can like Sedum without any transition, she always starts the eldest lady's temper regardless of time and place......
There are also those derailed plots, superfluous sensationalism, love on the lips, and rotten stalks that are willing to fall when they are dissatisfied......
In this way, compared with "Fairy Sword One", there is really a big gap.
As for the touching points in the TV series, most of them are also understood from the game, and there is not much innovation.
And what Yi Shuihan has to do is to return the script to its origins, and let those all pig women, vegetable teeth, white tofu, stinky tofu and red-haired monsters return to "who pities the soul of the grass", "the sword soul waits for a thousand years", "Yuzhou bamboo forest language cotton", "see each other and compete for each other"!
To make "Sword and Fairy III" a work that is not inferior to "Sword and Fairy I" with a touch of sadness and resonance, this is Yi Shuihan's ambition and expectation.
Therefore, the main line, context and character design provided by Yi Shuihan are basically given with reference to the settings in the game, so the final product is closer to the game and closer to the style of Xianjian Yi.
Of course, the name of this script at this time is not "Sword and Fairy III", but "Sword and Fairy II".
The next day, Yi Shuihan found Zheng Liaoyuan and Wang Jie and handed them the script.
As mentioned before, this script needs to be approved by them before it can be filmed.
"You two can take a look, and if you have any opinions, don't hesitate to mention them. Yi Shuihan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
"Look at your confidence, wait for me to veto, and you will cry. Wang Jie looked at Yi Shuihan's confident appearance, and laughed and teased.
"That's it, I think you are willing to have such a good script?" Yi Shuihan said nonchalantly.
For the script of "Fairy Sword II", Wang Jie, like Zheng Liaoyuan, is not particularly optimistic.
Where is Yi Shuihan's strength, even if his script is not bad, it must be difficult to compete with the fairy sword.
It's just that the more they look behind, the more frightened they become...... Of course, there are more surprises.
From their point of view, this script is not inferior to Xianjian Yi in the slightest, which is really unexpected.
No wonder Yi Shuihan was so confident just now, it turned out that this was his self-confident capital!
