Chapter 31 "Zhu Xian"!
"There's nothing inconvenient, the TV series I want to shoot is an online IP, called "Zhu Xian"!" Jiang Bai said with a smile.
"Zhu Xian?"
Yu Dong was slightly stunned, and then said: "This is a big IP, when it was updated on the Internet a few years ago, the response was not small, and there were many readers. ”
"Zhu Xian" is an early work in online novels, with many fans and an excellent plot, it is an IP that is very suitable for adaptation into film and television dramas!" Jiang Bai said.
Don't think that any popular online novel can be adapted into a film and television drama.
In fact, among the vast online novels, there are only a few that are suitable for changing into film and television dramas.
And the vast majority of popular online novels are actually more suitable for adaptation into games.
This is not the subjective conjecture of the adaptor, but the characteristics of the online novel itself.
For a multi-million-word web novel, the setting of a hierarchy is extremely important.
Because in the development of online novels for more than ten years, online authors have used various methods to support the whole novel.
This includes, but is not limited to, characters, plots, backgrounds, maps, ......
But in the end, they found that the only thing that could do this was the hierarchy.
A clear and varied hierarchy can enhance the rhythm of the novel and extend the word count of the novel indefinitely.
At the same time, this escalating setting also coincides with the basic setting of online games.
So we see that the early online novels were basically adapted into games.
And quite a few of them have achieved good results.
In contrast, film and television adaptations of online novels are quite rare.
And it's basically a change and a destruction.
Fans of the original work can't accept the producer's modification of the plot and character design, and completely let go of themselves.
And the producer also had a headache about the countless garbage water injection plots in the original book.
If you don't change it, you have to make a work that is almost entirely water.
changed, either the fans of the original work can't accept it, or the plot breakpoint is formed, and new audiences who haven't read the original work can't understand the plot at all.
In a dilemma!
This is the main reason why early online novels were rarely adapted into film and television dramas.
As for why a large number of online novels began to be turned into film and television dramas a few years later?
The reason is very simple, the cost of film and television production has decreased, and the audience of online novels is increasing.
Readers' awareness of genuine content has risen, and the paying audience of video sites has risen significantly.
As long as it is a popular IP, even if it is filmed as a pile of garbage, it is still a big profit.
In that case, why not shoot?
Compared with other online novels, "Zhu Xian" is actually quite alternative.
It was an early work of online novels, and at that time, the minds of online authors had not yet formed such deep-rooted routines as those of later generations.
I don't really attach much importance to the hierarchy in the novel.
And more importantly, although "Zhu Xian" is dressed in the skin of Xianxia, it is a real martial arts romance novel.
The main plot is actually the love between men and women!
To be honest, such novels, in the future generations, will have some opportunities in the publication of female frequency and physical books, and male frequency subscriptions can basically be abandoned.
Countless online authors who once wanted to learn the writing method of "Zhu Xian" have used a painful lesson to tell the world,
The routines of the great gods are not something that ordinary people can learn!
But the supernatural powers are not as good as the days.
"Zhu Xian" appeared too early, as early as that time, not many people wrote books on the Internet, and it was not up to the readers to decide what books to read at that time, but by the authors.
Jiang Bai once came into contact with an author of that period, and the author said that he wrote the third volume at that time, and suddenly he didn't want to write, so he wrote the fourth volume first, finished the fourth volume, and then returned to write the third volume.
And his hard-pressed readers just followed him to read the fourth volume first, and then went back to read the third volume.
Jiang Bai listened with envy on his face, what a golden age for authors.
Now when you write a book, don't say skip a volume, don't update it on time, readers will abandon the book!
All in all, "Zhu Xian" became unexpectedly popular because of his unique time advantage.
It has become one of the few high-quality IPs in online novels that have a lot of popularity and are very suitable for adaptation into film and television dramas.
It's a pity that such an IP, which could have been used as a masterpiece for adapting film and television dramas from online novels, was crippled by the producers of later generations.
In the 16th year of the next generation, the film and television drama "Qingyunzhi" adapted from "Zhu Xian" premiered, and immediately received a lot of scolding.
The embarrassing acting skills of the little fresh meats, the rough and rotten pictures and special effects that are incomprehensible, and the brain-dead plot that is unacceptable to both fans of the original work and passers-by and the audience, almost ruined this IP directly!
However, Jiang Bai has decided to film "Zhu Xian" now, not entirely to make up for his original regrets.
Even if you put aside all kinds of grievances about Qingyunzhi in later generations as a fan of Zhuxian books, "Zhuxian" is still the most suitable script for him at present.
First of all, the original novel has a lot of popularity, and this alone guarantees that you won't lose money.
Secondly, as a Xianxia drama, a lot of special effects can be used in this TV series, and this is Jiang Bai's biggest advantage.
Finally, as a high-quality IP in online novels, "Zhu Xian" will have a great impact on the entire IP market once the excellent film and television drama adaptation is completed.
may prompt the era of big IP to come ahead of schedule.
This will play an extremely important role in Jiang Bai's next layout.
Yu Dong thought for a while and said, "I remember that the film and television adaptation rights of this novel are in the hands of Huanrui, does Director Jiang plan to cooperate with them to shoot it?"
"We are talking, and the initial plan is to buy the film and television adaptation rights, but if it really doesn't work, the cooperation is not unacceptable. Jiang Bai said.
Yu Dong nodded and said: "If there is a need for Berner, even if Director Jiang speaks, Berner also has some resources in the TV drama distribution market." ”
"Thank you Yu Dong, if you really need it, I will not be polite. Jiang Bai sincerely thanked him.
All the guests were in place, and the celebration banquet officially began.
Han Sanping, Jiang Bai, Wu Jing, and Ying Bao worked together with a hammer to smash a 1 billion ice sculpture made of ice, implying that the box office of "Slaying the Dragon" would not stop there.
Jiang Bai took the stage to speak: "The success of "Slaying the Dragon" is inseparable from the support of all colleagues in the film and television industry, it is not only the success of our main creative team, but also the success of everyone present.
We will always remember that when "Slaying the Dragon" signed with China Film, it was Chairman Han who single-handedly vetoed the schedules of other foreign films in the same period, and ceded all the publicity and scheduling resources to "Slaying the Dragon".
We will never forget that after the release of "Slaying the Dragon", it was many media friends who worked together to help "Slay the Dragon", so that more audiences could know the work "Slaying the Dragon".
I think this should be the norm in our film and television industry, don't fight among themselves, don't tear each other down, cooperate with each other, borrow from each other, and only by working together to expand the domestic box office market can we strongly support the rise of domestic films!"
