The propaganda technique of serializing novels to continue to maintain the popularity of TV series topics is unprecedented in the film and television industry.

How hot and explosive the serialization of the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is, and how low-key and mysterious the filming process of its TV series of the same name is, this conscious contrast arrangement is precisely to mobilize the curiosity of the audience little by little, and gradually transform "readers" into "audiences".

Basically, all TV people understand the essence and purpose of this operation, but they can only wait and see at the moment, this kind of propaganda has no precedent, and there will be many problems involved in the process, and no one dares to package the ticket will be 100% successful.

Continuous serialization can indeed maintain the popularity and attention of the story, but at the same time, it means that the story plot will be leaked in advance, unless you have the courage of Liu Jingting and the team behind it, and you are sure that after telling the story, you can still make the audience maintain a sense of expectation for the TV series;

Then there is the problem of the transformation of scripts and novels, the TV series currently being done on the market are either adapted from existing novels or completely new scripts, and there are very few authors who dare to serialize novels while writing scripts, and can ensure the popularity of novels.

Therefore, everyone regards this technique as a way of thinking, a conditional way of thinking.

It was this "conditional thinking" that began to make many people feel uneasy, such as Zheng Yu in "Wei Wu's Whip" and Shen Ning in "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty".

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms", a story that re-edited history, was not too unexpected for the official and non-governmental acceptance, and it was a matter of effort to report it at the beginning. And out of some kind of righteous position, I did it once with the mentality of "what if I get hit".

In fact, at the beginning, everyone was simply afraid of Liu Jingting's personal influence. is not optimistic about his so-called "romance" of tampering with history, thinking that his participation in the production of the drama this time is, in the final analysis, a paper tiger.

However, this notion has vanished with the rise of the story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and in its place is a real concern. Or rather, the hidden worries have finally officially erupted.

Because if they put aside the position of their opponents, they also have to admit it. That story is indeed more exciting, and it better reflects the beacon fire of troubled times.

In fact, many screenwriters of Zheng Yu's team have been secretly chasing this story, and the more they chase, the more desperate they become, and they even thought of borrowing some of Liu Jingting's episodes from Zheng Yujian. This is also a creative technique that Zheng Yu is good at.

Of course, this idea cannot be actually implemented. If Liu Jingting's team was also secretly working on the script and accidentally revealed some plots, they could pretend not to know and use it directly, but now people are publicly serializing the story, not to mention borrowing from the bridge, even quoting lines will be besieged by the masses and have nowhere to escape.

For other teams, especially Zheng Yu, a sense of crisis can be clearly felt. Shen Ning's "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" was originally intended to be a quiet dark horse and let Liu Jingting and Zheng Yu fight. Anyway, their fame is not as big as theirs, it is normal to compare, winning is glory, and the most important thing is that they have no conflict in the subject matter, so there is no need to worry about the ratings being covered.

But now the situation has changed subtly, with the current development momentum of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", not to mention competing with him for the "June 1st Project", if he hits the schedule, he may be cannon fodder directly.

This is a question of heritage, and you can naturally understand this problem after reading the novel of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The core behind-the-scenes team of "Wei Wu's Whip" finally decided to officially hold a meeting on "how to deal with Liu Jingting's Three Kingdoms".

"Let's tell you directly, I have received the above news today, and I am raising the issue of the schedule. Zheng Yu said solemnly.

In the initial arrangement, the dominant position of "Wei Wu's Whip" is undoubted, whether it is Liu Jingting or Shen Ning, it can only be placed in the position of cooperating with other TV stations, among which there is Shi Wei's mediation, but the most important thing is that Zheng Yu's own influence and the strength of his script have won the blue eyes of the leadership.

But isn't influence the most fragile and easiest thing to make in this era of information explosion?

"What schedule, isn't this already set?" asked a slightly chubby middle-aged man suspiciously.

"The TV has not been officially broadcast for a day, no, even if the TV is officially broadcast, it can be adjusted temporarily, not to mention that it has only just started filming. ”

The atmosphere in the conference room became more and more oppressive.

"How?"

Zheng Yu smiled helplessly and said, "The priority and focus are turned around." ”

Everyone immediately understood the meaning of Zheng Yu's words, and the above is ready to use Liu Jingting's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as the main work of this project, which is also something that everyone has been worrying about recently.

Oppressive silence.

"Do you want us to change the script now?" said someone in a whisper.

"What?" Zheng Yu's face changed, and he turned his head to look for the person who spoke.

"It's a big deal that we also change the script, since history can be changed like that, we ......"

"Okay," Zheng Yu interrupted with a wave of his hand, and the expression on his face began to be gloomy, "Doing this is tantamount to a complete surrender, what do we use to fight Liu Jingting, isn't it the weapon of 'Zhengshi'?

This is the charm of the combination of screenwriter and producer.

"You don't have to imitate them, but we can block his way in advance. A young female screenwriter said cautiously, officially Zheng Yu originally wanted to settle down with Yuan Sa next to Liu Jingting.

"Blocking the road, how to block it?"

Hearing this, Zheng Yu didn't immediately express his position, as if he knew that Yuan Sa would say this, and another producer asked.

"According to the content that has come out, it can be seen that the way of Liu Jingting's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is to transfer and graft the story of the Three Kingdoms era, trying to present the epic with legendary brushwork, with Liu Bei Group as the mainstay, and relive the history of the Three Kingdoms. ”

"So we also write 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'?"

"Writing a similar story, anyway, is to make up a new story in the form of a novel in the original history, it seems difficult, but it is really easy to do, and we can form a special copywriting team to do this, anyway, everyone shoots the Three Kingdoms, we don't follow his story, but we can brainstorm his next story according to the main line of "Wei Wu Whip". ”

"Write his story so he has nothing to write about?"

"That's exactly the idea. ”

"However, I have to say that Liu Jingting's pen power ......"

Zheng Yu finally spoke and said: "We don't use that kind of half-written text to write, we only tell stories, the purpose is to let everyone understand that the kung fu of making up history, not only he Liu Jingting can play, we just disdain to desecrate history." ”

Yuan Sa nodded and continued: "For example, he is now writing that Zhuge Liang finally joined Liu Bei, according to history, the next thing should be written about the Battle of Chibi, according to his previous style, in this Battle of Chibi, he will definitely make a big fuss, if I guess correctly, he will focus on the role of Zhuge Liang, because when Liu Bei looked at the thatched house, Guan Yu Zhang Fei was very dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang, this is actually his usual foreshadowing, first pull the ridicule, and then the ridiculed person showed his magical powers, so that everyone was convinced. ”

"The question is, how will he embody Zhuge Liang's role, after all, the Battle of Chibi is led by Zhou Yu, he can't directly erase the character of Zhou Yu, right?"

Zheng Yu said: "Two ideas, one is still grafting, adding some deeds that do not belong to Zhuge Liang to him, and the other is distorting the historical facts themselves, rewriting the Battle of Chibi, aggravating the role of Liu Bei's side, and letting them play a key role in the battle." ”

"That's the idea, but the details ......"

"So we need to put together a team of copywriters. Yuan Sa sang and harmonized with Zheng Yu, and finally finished explaining the main content of the meeting.

Write the Three Kingdoms in advance and block Liu Jingting!

……

At this time, Liu Jingting was at the filming site of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and told Tang Han about an important scene: Zhuge Liang's tongue and group of Confucianism.

In fact, not only Zheng Yu and Yuan Sa, but most readers who have been following this novel seriously can roughly guess that Zhuge Liang's performance moment is next, but can you really guess how to perform? (To be continued......)
