""Xiao Shiyi Lang"? Mr. Deng, aren't we going all out to prepare for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" this year, how can we still have the time to do other ......?"

In the face of Deng Zheng's suggestion, Lao Wen rarely hesitated.

"The Pride of the Sky" finally ended with a rating of 3.621, although it is not far behind "Ping Trace" and "White Hair", but in the fiercely competitive Spring Festival file and the sub-prime time file where the ratings are generally low, this is already quite a remarkable achievement.

What's more, this is still a "bodyguard theme" that almost everyone was not optimistic about before, and now that it has turned over, it is estimated that no one dares to follow suit.

The "great man of chivalry" has also taken this opportunity to truly gain a firm foothold and has been widely recognized by the industry and beyond. Therefore, the new round of recruitment is going particularly smoothly.

The director, agent, actors, etc. all have specific performance measurement standards, and Deng Zheng gave them full authority to Xu Tao, and for the new recruits of the core screenwriting team, Deng Zheng personally checked them.

He chooses screenwriters, and he doesn't like to choose famous and famous, although the kind of people have strength and experience, they lack hunger, and they are difficult to manage. The most important thing is that everyone is a ministry, and they refuse to sign a long-term contract with him for more than 5 years.

As for him, because he already has countless mature and practice-tested work ideas in his mind, he no longer needs others to make too many conceptual changes, so he only needs an unfamous screenwriter who loves to learn, is willing to learn, and has characteristics.

It can be targeted for long-term training.

Therefore, among the three new screenwriters recruited this time, two are marginal screenwriters who have some experience but have not signed their names, each with their own characteristics. The other is a college student who Deng Zheng brought directly from the "Shenzhou Martial Arts" magazine and has not yet officially graduated, or a science and engineering man studying food science and engineering.

This bear child, whose pen name is "Ma Yan", came to prominence in the "Martial Arts Night Talk" section of "Shenzhou Martial Arts". With sharp words, unique opinions, and full of complaining ability, Deng Zheng couldn't help but be amazed by the many perspectives of watching martial arts. Therefore, after the last Guangdong elite training course. Deng Zheng only had a brief interview with him for 2 minutes, and then directly made a decision and summoned him to his command.

The two marginal screenwriters are currently following Lao Wen, and "Horse Eye" was lost to Sun Tiankong and Duomeng by him.

The first is to learn some basic screenwriting skills from two peers from professional classes.

The second is that Deng Zheng is currently letting Sun Tiankong and Duomeng be responsible for screening six to ten "Condor Ashes Fans" who are often active on the Internet with deep insights, and plans to invite these people to participate in the next step of the "Condor Shooting" script adaptation and creation as a "pan-reader perspective", brainstorming, and strive to make this masterpiece on the screen without regrets or regrets.

And this is exactly what the "horse eye" child is good at.

Regarding Lao Wen's question, Deng Zheng didn't want to explain. But Lao Wen is also a veteran, and his temperament is a little stubborn and more serious, and he doesn't know the bottom of it, so he is afraid that his thoughts will not be understood, so he said: "Of course, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is the top priority, and it is ready to be built into a classic that can write a strong stroke in the entire history of Chinese TV dramas, so it is even more necessary to simmer slowly." From adapting the script, selecting actors, and forming a team, all of them are in a hurry, but the summer file has always been the main battlefield of our 'great heroes', from "Ping Trace" the year before last to "White Hair" last year. The initial summer TV brand has just been formed, and it will continue this year, striving to form the brand concept of 'watching martial arts in the summer vacation, martial arts must be heroic'. ”

"What Mr. Deng said is. This one. Xiao Shiyilang, is this a personal name, or a nickname?"

"Person's name. He was chic and carefree. He has encountered many misfortunes in his life, and he is often alone. Therefore, they are always friends with wolves. He had ten brothers and sisters, but all of them were killed. He is the cleanest and most accurate thief in the past 500 years. Notorious. However, he is actually a thief, and the money he steals is used to help others, but his own money is earned through hard work. In the words of his best friend: Xiao Shiyi Lang can only afford to invite others to eat beef noodles, and maybe he has to pay on credit. ”

"Sounds fresh and interesting!" Lao Wen's eyes lit up, "What era do you want to implant in this historical background?"

Deng Zheng shook his head: "You don't need a specific historical background. This time, we only concentrate on talking about people, love, survival, stories, and rivers and lakes, and we don't have anything to do with the major affairs of the family and the country, and the conspiracy of the court! I now have a specific story line, but I can't decide whether there are two completely different creative styles in my heart, and how to present it will be better if you help me sum it up......

The two styles of thought Deng Zheng mentioned are actually Mr. Gu Long's original novel "Xiao Shiyi Lang" and the more popular Wu Qilong version of the TV series of the same name.

"Xiao Shiyi Lang" is a martial arts book that has a script and then a novel, and both are successful.

And the novel "Xiao Shiyi Lang" that everyone usually talks about is actually not "Xiao Shiyi Lang" in the real sense, it is a collection version of "Xiao Shiyi Lang" and the sequel "Fire and Xiao Shiyi Lang", a total of 59 chapters.

The twenty-fifth chapter of the original book "Xiao Shiyi Lang" is full of depression and sorrow, with a strong tragic atmosphere, and it is the only outright tragedy among Mr. Gu Long's many works......

Three years after the publication of this book, Mr. Gu Long was not satisfied with the ending, so he wrote "Fire and Xiao Shiyi Lang" to continue.

In the sequel, Xiao Shiyi Lang defeated the strong with the weak, narrowly defeated Xiaoyaohou, and survived. However, the "Heavenly Sect" created by Xiaoyao Hou did not dissipate because of Xiaoyao Hou's death, but was controlled by the city wall. Shen Bijun and Xiao Shiyi Lang were able to see each other after two years of separation, but they faced the dilemma of her husband Lian Chengbi and her beloved Xiao Shiyi Lang, so they threw themselves into the water, but fortunately they were rescued.

Xiao Shiyilang finally fought to the death with Lianchengbi, won but did not kill, and flew away, but his love entanglement with Shen Bijun was not explicitly stated in the book.

This book is considered to be one of the rare excellent works of Mr. Gu Long's creative peak, and Mr. Ye Hongsheng, a famous Taiwanese martial arts novel critic, even elevated "Xiao Shiyi Lang" to the first position of Gu Long's works, saying that "Xiao Shiyi Lang" is a superb masterpiece that combines old and new ideas, satirizes social reality, eulogizes love and sex, and inspires the will to life, and has eternal literary value. ”

He also praised "the characters and stories of "Xiao Shiyi Lang" are unique".

Among all the film and television versions of "Xiao Shiyi Lang", the most influential and relatively successful ones are Wu Qilong and Zhu Yin's versions.

Compared with the original book, this drama deliberately adds more vitality and modern ideological elements, giving the protagonists a stronger rebelliousness and more courage to challenge fate. And the main characters are no longer subject to traditional etiquette, and their understanding of marriage is only obligation and loyalty, which is more in line with the ideas of young audiences.

Moreover, Mr. Gu Long's style has always been known for its conciseness, which is both like a script and a prose poem, but there are many "blanks" in the background, emphasizing the poetry of the text and the completeness of the plot. This version of the TV series fabricates and adds a lot of characters, details and backgrounds that are not in the novel in the plot, and enriches all the characters. The result of such an adaptation, although the poetry is weak, but the storyline is greatly complete.

Of course, there are pros and cons, in the original work, free and easy, mature, deep, and Xiao Shiyilang, who is friends with wolves, has been adapted into a young and high-spirited and confident young hero, although it is very popular with young audiences, but it has a lot less flavor, and the protagonist himself is light, which naturally greatly weakens the thickness and tension of the whole drama, so that the second half of the TV series desperately sprinkles dog blood......

As we all know, Gu Long's literary works are notoriously difficult to adapt, and there are few successful adaptations of TV series, and this version of "Xiao Shiyi Lang" can be widely recognized within a certain range, which shows that there are many merits.

Therefore, Deng Zheng didn't dare to take the idea lightly, and needed the help of a few of them to sum it up and grasp it carefully.

However, when he finished speaking, he found that the old news in front of him had been completely petrified. (To be continued......)
