Although the script of "Zhao's Orphan" is not long, it is not short, and it will probably take several hours to write at Ye Chen's speed.

During this period, Anna has been witnessing Ye Chen's process of creating "Zhao's Orphan", Xie Quan also came to Ye Chen's side, and even Xi Jiu, who has always been silent, didn't know when he came behind Ye Chen!

Everyone's curious eyes fell on Ye Chen, and they also wanted to know if the genius writer was also a veritable genius in drama creation!

Although "Hamlet" has proved that Ye Chen has a high attainment in drama, after all, he has never seen the scene when Ye Chen created "Hamlet"!

Now that Ye Chen wants to create an oriental classical drama in public, everyone is more willing to believe in their eyes!

And Zhou Xu, who was ignored on the side, also came to Ye Chen's side with the purpose of wanting to see Ye Chen make a fool of himself in public!

In an instant, all the eyes in the conference room were focused on Ye Chen, who was sitting on a chair and writing!

Anna is the closest to Ye Chen, and from Anna's perspective, she can clearly see every word Ye Chen wrote.

Soon, the four big characters of "Zhao's Orphan" came into Anna's eyes.

Anna didn't know much about the ancient history of the Empire, so she didn't know what these four words meant in the history of the Empire.

As time passed, a singing and crying story unfolded in front of Anna through Ye Chen's hands.

Although Anna is not a woman of the empire, there are many places in "Zhao's Orphan" that cannot be understood, such as the traitor Tu Anjia killed Zhao Dun's entire family for personal grudges, and did not hesitate to order the killing of children across the country in order to search for Zhao's orphans, this heinous cruelty is unimaginable in Anna's opinion!

In just a moment, it has already left a brutal and vicious impression on Anna!

In the play, after the Zhao orphan was entrusted to the folk doctor Cheng Ying, Cheng Ying hid the Zhao orphan in the medicine box, trying to take it out of the palace, and was searched out by the gatekeeper general Han Ju, but he didn't expect that Han Ju also understood the righteousness, in Han Ju's hesitation, he commanded Cheng Ying to take the baby out, leaving the only bloodline for the Zhao family and letting go of Cheng Ying and the Zhao orphan, and he drew his sword and killed himself!

What Anna didn't expect was that because Tu Anjia ordered to kill the children of the whole country, in order to save the Zhao orphans, Cheng Ying decided to sacrifice his only son to replace the Zhao orphans, and bear the charge of "harboring" by himself, and die together.

The hatred for the cruel and vicious traitors, the sympathy for Cheng Ying's children and the tragic fate of those innocent children, and the shock of Cheng Ying and Han Ju's deep understanding of righteousness!

Anna, who saw such a classic drama in an oriental classical drama for the first time, was deeply moved by the characters and plot in the play!

Anna is like this, as one of the three great drama masters of the empire, and Xie Quan, who has a deep understanding of imperial culture, not to mention it!

As early as after Ye Chen started writing the name of the play "Zhao's Orphan", Xie Quan knew what kind of story Ye Chen wanted to write!

After knowing that Ye Chen planned to write "Zhao's Orphan", Xie Quan was also a little worried!

You must know that "Zhao's Orphan" is an extremely famous story in the Spring and Autumn Period, although due to the difference between the two worlds, it is not as widespread in this world as in Ye Chen's previous life, but there are not a few people who know this story.

And the more people who know this story, the more market it means.

Therefore, many famous screenwriters have also aimed at this theme, and there are even some big names among them.

For example, Xie Quan once had this thought.

Despite this, there has not been a drama about "The Orphan of Zhao" for such a long time!

Why?

Because it's hard to make up!

The reason why the story of the Zhao orphan is not as widespread in the empire as it is on the earth in the previous life is that there is no such drama as "The Orphan of Zhao" in this world!

As far as the story itself is concerned, there is no such twists and turns in the history books as in the drama! But after a certain amount of artistic processing and adaptation into a drama, it really spread in the previous life and became a well-known legend.

It is precisely because "The Orphan of Zhao" is a real historical fact recorded in the history books, which requires the screenwriter to respect history and make up nonsense that does not respect history, even if you make it up well, the people of the empire will not buy it!

For the people of the empire, history means the past, a culture flowing in the blood, and without history is equivalent to no sense of cultural identity!

Respect for history means that screenwriters don't have much room to play independently when creating scripts, which scares off the vast majority of screenwriters.

If this is the only thing, the elites of the few screenwriters in the empire can still put "Zhao's Orphan" on the stage, and what really makes these elites have to give up is another reason!

That is, the complexity of the story of "The Orphan of Zhao"!

The complexity mentioned here is not the complexity of the storyline, but the fact that it is not complicated enough to be adapted into a drama!

In the history books, the incident of Zhao's orphan is undoubtedly a classic story in the eyes of later generations!

But a classic story doesn't mean it can be adapted into a classic play!

In a classic drama, there must be something that can move people's hearts.

For a drama master like Xie Quan, if he can't adapt a classic story into a classic drama, then Xie Quan would rather not make it up!

As a drama with incomparable status and tragedy in the vast classical drama of the previous life, "The Orphan of Zhao" largely relies on the classic adaptation of the original playwright!

Ji Junxiang, the original author of "The Orphan of Zhao", made some small changes when he adapted this story into a play, including two crucial changes, which, in Ye Chen's opinion, are also one of the reasons why this drama is so successful.

One change is to change the "other people's baby" to Cheng Ying's own son.

In history, it was someone else's child who died on behalf of Zhao Gu, and Cheng Ying in the play used his own flesh and blood in the implementation of the bag drop.

From this change, another important change was introduced - Tu Anjia received Cheng Ying's son as "Yi'er", and this child was actually an orphan of the Zhao family!

Sometimes, the birth of a classic is often due to the author's flash of inspiration!

These two changes are like a stroke of genius, which not only increases the conflict of the play, but also makes the relationship between the three main characters in the play, Cheng Ying, Tu Anjia, and Zhao's orphans, full of tension, reaching the limit that can be achieved. It is this highly tense relationship that has led to the birth of the most tragic classic drama in classical drama!

This is also the most shocking part of Xie Quan!

There is no doubt that art needs to be processed!

And in the face of the true story of Zhao's orphans, this kind of processing must be even more cautious!

When Xie Quan adapted the Zhao orphans, it was because he felt that the story lacked tension, but he did not dare to rashly carry out artistic processing, so as not to have to give up the idea of adapting it into a play.

But Ye Chen's two small changes are different, the general direction completely respects the historical facts, but the few strokes that seem inadvertently instantly raise the tension of the story to a notch!

Seeing the subtle knowledge, this kind of ability to lift weights is absolutely impossible to do if you don't have an extremely deep understanding of drama!

It's definitely a masterful adaptation!

At the very least, Xie Quan asked himself if he couldn't do it!

Thinking of this, Xie Quan's gaze at Ye Chen couldn't help but become complicated......

Seventeen-year-old drama master......

It's too young......
