On the first Sunday of May, Tang Nian, who was in a hurry, finally returned to Hengdu Film and Television City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Regarding the investment in the first season of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals", Tang Nian and Bai Yizhu Bai did not come up with a result, everything still depends on the effectiveness of the script adaptation.

Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop, the conference room on the third floor, has once again become an exclusive space for screenwriters.

Seven or eight professional screenwriters transferred from the headquarters of Tencent Pictures, plus Er Nian, the original chief screenwriter of the performing arts studio, and three senior producers from the head office, as well as the author of the original novel, the chief screenwriter of the first season of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals" forgot to speak.

The above is all the horses adapted from the TV script of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals".

"What's wrong?"

As soon as he arrived at the performance workshop, Tang Nian pushed open the door of the conference room and asked.

"Tang Nian, if they insist on adapting it like this, I can only choose to withdraw from the script adaptation of the first season of "The Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivators"!"

The author of the original book forgot to say and was very resolute.

"Tang Nian, it's not that we don't want to adapt according to his ideas, but if we adapt according to the ideas of the forgotten writer, there is no way for the actor to shoot, and it doesn't conform to the common sense of script creation!"

This time, Er Nian became the chief screenwriter of the screenwriting team, and he couldn't help but start to complain.

"Show me the first three episodes of the adapted script!"

In the face of the dispute between the two sides, Tang Nian didn't say much, took the adapted script, and looked at it carefully.

"This won't work! In this way, it has become a common Xianxia drama on the market, we are cultivating immortal dramas, "Seven Xuanmen Fengyun" is just a very small platform for the protagonist Han Li to grow up, you are writing a lot of books in this place, and even using the model of dual protagonists to portray the character of Li Feiyu, as well as this so-called Zhang Sleeve, a vulgar love triangle, Han Li and Li Feiyu fought jealously for her...... The content of the original novel, which is less than twenty chapters, can support the plot of more than five episodes, you guys are amazing! ”

As time passed, Tang Nian's face became more and more angry.

Finally, Tang Nian put down the adapted script in his hand and broke out completely, what kind of bullshit is this, can this be called a script?

"So how do you say to change it? This is the most popular routine on the market, if you don't follow this, the characters can't support it, and the protagonist Han Li's psychological activities are too much, and the other characters are only a few strokes, how do you let us adapt? ”

"This volume of Guangqi Xuanmen Fengyun, Han Li, Li Feiyu, Zhang Tie, Wuyan, Ma Rong, Zhang Sleeve, Wang Juechu, and Doctor Mo ...... There are more than 20 characters, not to mention the complicated relationship between the characters, many of the characters are flashing, and by the time of the second volume, the characters in the first volume died again, and in the third volume, the people in the second volume basically died, and the more characters appeared later, the more people died, and there were constantly dead people, and there were conspiracies and tricks, and it was difficult for us to adapt it......"

In the face of all Tang Nian's negation, Er Nian's aggrieved tears were about to cry.

It is said that among online novels, the novel of cultivating immortals is the most difficult to adapt, and he has seen it thoroughly, in the nearly eight million words of "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals", there are more than 1,000 characters with names, and even more than 10,000 characters without names.

If it weren't for Tang Nian's decision to adapt "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals", Er Nian would not have been willing to touch this kind of theme.

Think about the adaptation of "The White Fox Cover of the Midnight Coffin Man", just the first volume of "White Fox Cover", with no more than 30 characters, took half a month of hard work to adapt, and several hidden story lines were greatly adjusted.

After the script adaptation was completed, Gao Nianshu, a gold medal screenwriter from Tencent Pictures headquarters, gave himself a full month off vacation, and then he was relieved.

At that time, because he was only responsible for the creation of the storyboard script, the screenwriters under Gao Nianshu were responsible for the brain-consuming things, so he got rid of this bad luck.

With the popularity of "Cohabitation Blog", the name "Er Nian", which is hung in the screenwriter's column and located on the right side of Tang Nian, has also become famous.

Because of the influence of the Tang Dynasty and the success of several consecutive works, the Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop attaches great importance to the script and the screenwriter.

Since Er Nian is already famous, he has been included in the field of vision by Lao Liu and others, and has become the object of key training, and the script adaptation of "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals", in addition to the screenwriters who came from the headquarters to support, is Er Nian's head.

Ke Ernian did not have mature and successful adaptation experience, and under the influence of several senior screenwriters in the industry from the headquarters, he gradually forgot Tang Nian's entrustment, changed the original story line beyond recognition, and rushed all the way to the fantasy youth drama.

It is precisely because of this that Tang Nian became angry.

Er Nian didn't understand the importance of the work "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" in the history of online novels, let alone Tang Nian's ambition for this work.

When he made up his mind to prepare for the filming of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals", Tang Nian had already made up his mind to become a benevolent if he did not succeed, and the 600 million profits earned on "Cohabitation Blog" were nearly 400 million in addition to Tencent Pictures' commission and Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop's investment share.

In order for "The Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivators" to be successful, Tang Nian was already ready to smash all the 400 million into it.

This is also Tang Nian's confidence that he has always insisted on being fully responsible when he talked to Mr. Bai in the imperial capital, he is very welcome to invest in, and he does not refuse to come, but if the capital comes in and wants to interfere in the filming, it will touch his bottom line.

This is his work, not someone else's, and Tang Nian cannot tolerate others criticizing his works.

Especially when Tang Nian is very mature in his ideas and preliminary preparations for the works in hand, Tang Nian cannot tolerate outsiders arbitrarily changing the works.

Because in Tang Nian's view, the process of adapting the script is the process of the maturity of the character setting, the character follows the plot, the story, and the style.

Tang Nian has only one word for this kind of actor, 'Get out!' ’。

In a word, according to the script, according to the requirements of the director and screenwriter, everything is easy to say.

If you rely on capital and someone to support you, Tang Nian will never tolerate it, and this is also the root cause of Mr. Bai and Tang Nian who have communicated many times, but have never been able to reach a final agreement.

From the perspective of capital, Bai Yiji believes that the investor is the role of the producer, and has the right to make appropriate changes to the script, actors, directors, etc.

From the perspective of the work, Tang Nian welcomes capital to share the financial pressure and share the return of the work, but refuses capital to control the right to speak in filming, and the producer cannot arbitrarily interfere in the filming process and post-production or even TV series takeaway.

The conversation reached an impasse, and the script adaptation of "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" went wrong again, and Tang Nian had to return to Hengdu Film and Television City.

"Er Nian, you are the chief screenwriter of the script adaptation of the first season of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals", and Forget Yu is the author of the original novel, and he is the chief screenwriter!"

"In our performing arts workshop, you should know my clear positioning of these two types of screenwriters, the chief screenwriter is responsible for designing the drawings, and the chief screenwriter is responsible for leading other screenwriters to turn the design drawings into reality, that is, to complete the script adaptation under the guidance of the chief screenwriter......"

"In the process of adapting the script, you must not deviate from the design idea of the chief screenwriter, or you can't make a good story into a fandrama!"

"Your script, the protagonist is Han Li, but this story is definitely not the ...... of "The Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivators"

In Tang Nian's heart, the script is the core thing, the key to the success of film and television works, there is no room for perfunctory, the more Tang Nian talks, the more serious his face becomes.

"But...... In this way, there is no precedent to follow at all, such a script will eat a lot of cost......"

After all, Er Nian followed Tang Nian's two film and television works, so he naturally understood the meaning of Tang Nian's words.

But in this way, none of the costume fantasy dramas on the market can be used as a reference, and the script adaptation of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals" has to start from scratch, creating and running in bit by bit...... A very painful process.

If you still follow the costume fantasy youth idol dramas on the market, it is very simple.

Male one with female two, female one plus male two, and then three or five main roles, plus a bunch of post-computer CG special effects, the actors are blind on the green screen throughout the whole process, and the cutouts are also completed, ensuring that one person can drum out the script of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals" in less than a week......

Er Nian naturally understood the meaning of Tang Nian's words, and carefully adapted the script of "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" to be able to create a good work.

But...... Immortal cultivation novels are too difficult to adapt, and "The Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivation" is the most difficult kind of immortal cultivation novels to adapt.
