Chapter 30 Evaluation of New Dramas

"Lovely Bones" is about to be published, and Xu An has recently been working on "A Clash of Kings", the second part of "A Song of Ice and Fire", which has been quite slow compared to the fact that "Bones" took several days to write. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Martin, the author of "Ice and Fire" in Stephen's world, expects this book to be a total of seven, and it took him fifteen years to publish five works, in fact, if you count the time of conception, this guy has more than 20 years from writing the draft of the first chapter to the fifth work, Xu An has only seen "The Dance of the Dragon", and the author Martin is also known as the "drag maniac", he has countless things to do every day, participating in interviews, fishing, and guest movies, but he has no time to write!

The sixth "Cold Wind of Winter" was delayed for five years and still did not come out, and he made countless excuses for himself, and finally even blamed the TV series based on the novel for being too popular......

It was rumored on the Internet that Martin was seriously ill and even died, giving him a lot of nicknames, and trying all kinds of ways to urge the draft, but it still couldn't stop him from continuing to delay the draft.

When Xu An saw these reports through Stephen's eyes, he couldn't help but want to laugh, how could there be such a writer?

Now that it was his turn to write the book himself, he discovered a terrible question: whether the book "Ice and Fire" probably had some magical power or was cursed with a vicious curse, that is, it could make people extremely painful to write, almost like constipation.

Of course, this book certainly does not have any magic, nor is it cursed in any way, the biggest reason why Martin writes slowly is that the world he fictionalizes is too large and real, and the description of those hundreds of characters alone is enough to make ordinary people miserable, these hundreds of characters have very different personalities, identities, statuses and destinies, just like living people, and this group of living people is not real, they are imagined and fictionalized by the author!

The difficulties in this can be imagined.

Of course, it is also an indisputable fact that the author Martin's writing attitude is not proper enough......

Xu An wants to create the remaining two works by himself, so he is destined to not write too fast, he wants to improve the setting of the whole book, infer the fate of each character, to be reasonable, but also to be perfect, we must make "Winter", "Spring Dawn" and the first five perfect connections, let everyone go on according to the "established" fate, and finally have a reasonable ending in line with Xu An's own ideas!

It can be said that every time Xu An writes a character or an event, he has to recall and connect the relevant plots in the five works in his mind, and then deduce and conceive the direction of the remaining two.

It's so hard.

Recently, his writing has come to a standstill again, and Xu An feels a little unable to continue, but after watching the song and dance just now, he suddenly has a new idea - since he can't write anymore, let's put it down, do something else, change his mind or find inspiration.

"Twilight" is a good choice.

…………

Just when Xu An was about to embark on the road of no return for Martin's draft, the repertoire on the stage had been performed, Emily was the heroine's sister in the play, and she was also a vampire, she had already seen Xu An, and now that the rehearsal was over, she jumped off the stage directly, ran to Xu An, and asked with excitement and a little uneasiness: "Ann, how's it, how is it?" Please, hurry up and leave a comment, I can't wait! ā€

She was like a little girl who was in a hurry to beg for candy, Xu An looked at her and couldn't help laughing: "It's great, you must know that I rarely watch musical and dance dramas, I don't say the situation of this drama is very good, but your performance is very good, the singing is very good, and the dancing is also very beautiful, wow, look at you Emily, can sing, dance, and cook delicious barbecue, tell me what else you can't do?" ā€

Hearing Xu An's words, the smile on Emily's face grew bigger and bigger, she also wore a small braces on her teeth to imitate a vampire, but it was not scary at all, and when she laughed, she was very naughty, "At least I don't know how to write a book yet!" ā€

"Oh, writing isn't for anyone!" Xu An raised his head and said.

Emily slapped him lightly and couldn't help but laugh, "You're too arrogant too!" ā€

"Hey, what are you talking about? Ann, how can you comment on our performance, isn't it amazing? "Bruce came over in a furry coat at this time, and he played the werewolf in the play, and he was the male lead.

"Emily, lo and behold, there's a guy here who is even more arrogant than me!" Xu An pointed at Bruce and shouted, which made Emily laugh, and then he thought for a while, and decided to say his most direct feelings: "Bruce, I don't want to lie to you, seriously, your performance is very good, but ......" He was ruthless and continued: "But the storyline is very old-fashioned, I don't understand the other songs and dances, but I feel pretty good!" ā€

"Hah......" Bruce sighed heavily, restrained his smile, and said a little helplessly: "The song and dance are not original, the storyline, aren't werewolves and vampires new enough?" ā€

"Novelty? This is just a blend of vampires and love tragedies, although I am not professional enough, but I know that vampires and werewolves have "Dream Back to the Middle Ages", love tragedies all over the world know "Mary Rose", both of which are classic tracks, and although there is no song and dance drama in the fusion of the two, there is a movie called "One Hundred Years of Horror" a few years ago, which is a modern background, and your new drama just puts the background in the Middle Ages. ā€

In New York, especially Manhattan, in the center of the national cabaret, some people may not like musicals, but at least they will know something, Xu An rarely watches musicals on weekdays, but he reads newspapers, and New York newspapers often have Broadway-related reports, a new play that makes a splash or which European theater company performs or something, so he doesn't know anything about it.

"At least some things have changed, haven't they?" Bruce tugged at the corners of his mouth, his expression was a little low: "Ann, I actually know what you said, but we can't find a good script, those classic stories have long been adapted into musical and dance dramas, some new stories are either not suitable for adaptation, or the copyright fee is too expensive, in fact, these singing, dancing and dancing are not original, it is too difficult to want a completely original script." ā€

The so-called complete originality includes the three aspects of story, song and dance, which is not a job that can be completed by one person at all, usually the screenwriter determines the story, then hires someone to compose the music, and then finds a professional to choreograph the dance, and finally has a director, so it is not so easy to say that an influential new drama appears.

"Maybe I can give you a story, but there's nothing I can do about the songs and dances!" Xu An proposed.

Bruce's eyes lit up, then dimmed again, and said, "Forget it, Emily said that your level of writing stories is very high, we can't afford to hire good lyricists and composers, and we can't find anyone to choreograph for us, don't waste your story, and just having a new story won't change anything." ā€

Xu An spread his hands and said that he couldn't help, he had seen some classic musical and dance dramas through Stephen's perspective, but he couldn't write professional scripts, at least he couldn't do anything about the choreography of songs and dances.

Bruce twisted his neck and pulled himself together again: "But it doesn't matter, there are countless plays on Broadway every day, classic, ordinary, unless it is a large musical troupe, and how many are completely innovative?" ā€

Bruce's words are right, but Xu An is still not very optimistic about their new play, this kind of new drama University song and dance club can rehearse, make up a story of old wine in a new bottle, find a few songs that suit the occasion, and then learn a few dances from the Internet, this is a so-called new play, when the club performs, it will always attract many college students to cheer, but I am afraid it will not be able to eat it on Broadway.

Coming to terms with this, the biggest and probably only advantage of Bruce's new show over the college club is that their singing and dancing are relatively more professional.

But Broadway doesn't recognize these, there are countless actors with solid foundation here, who may not be able to mix up for the rest of their lives, Broadway likes classics, spirituality, and will never be recognized step by step!
