Chapter 45: Aunt Wang's daughter is back
TV drama scripts are written in episodes, one by one.
Brought up a model and it looked like this, not only that, Su Shichen also searched out "Journey to the West", "Journey to the West", "Journey to the West", "Monkey King Boiling in the Sea of Clouds", "Monkey King" and so on.
Anyway, all the scripts of movies and TV series on the theme of Journey to the West have been searched, and they can be used for reference, and the classics are made in this way.
Of course, it is natural to integrate "The Flood Wilderness", and the main tone he set for "New Journey to the West" is to slowly expose the background of the Flood Wilderness, and it is not easy to integrate this background into it.
The first difficulty he encountered was how to start, the beginning of this Shijie's old version of Journey to the West was to introduce the stone on Huaguo Mountain, that is, the stone that turned into Sun Wukong, this kind of narrative method is very good, and the theme is pointed out at the beginning.
However, since "New Journey to the West" wants to expose the background of the flood wilderness, it must be directly related to Pangu Kaitian at the beginning.
But the crux of the problem is that from Pangu Kaitian to Journey to the West, at least one episode is required, which is too slow, which is similar to a novel, and the shijie view will be explained at the beginning, which will arouse the reader's disgust, and this TV series is the same, it will also trigger the audience's plan, so the beginning of the explanation must be just right.
"It's best to dig a big hole, just like a suspense novel, so that readers have the desire to read it" Su Shichen seems to have thought of a way, but how to dig this hole?
There are indeed many pitfalls in the myth of the flood wilderness, but none of them are suitable and have nothing to do with "Journey to the West" itself.
Think about what are the unsolved mysteries of Journey to the West?
racked his brains and wrote down one idea after another on the paper, but they were all shot by Su Shichen one after another, so that after thinking about it for two or three hours, he didn't write it at all, so it was really dangerous to write it in two months.
In vain, a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, and he patted his head: "I'm too stupid to do this, tell the story of the myth of the flood for five minutes or three minutes at the beginning of each episode, yes, yes, that's all." ”
"But what about the length of the plot? Each episode starts with five minutes, which is a lot longer, and it seems cumbersome to make adjustments to the show's schedule. ”
"Is there any way to keep this show from being delayed by the extra five minutes, and to ensure the quality of each episode." The brain turned around and thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, but to do so, Yu Qiyuan had to agree.
This method is related to the screenwriter later, so Su Shichen found Yu Qiyuan resolutely.
Come to Yu Qiyuan's room and knock on the door.
"Director Yu, there's something I want to discuss with you."
"Please enter" Yu Qiyuan "is about the shaping of Sun Wukong, I have already thought of it, to go to a compromise method, both, both to set the role of Sun Wukong as a hero, and to arrange a relationship for him as you said, but such a degree should be comprehensively weakened, after all, "Journey to the West" is not a book of personal heroism, let alone romance. ”
"Director Yu is very thoughtful, so do it on the role of Monkey King, but just now when I was writing the script in my room, I suddenly thought of a method, which is good for explaining the myth of the flood wilderness."
"What's the solution?" Yu Qiyuan.
"Before talking about this method, I will ask Director Yu a question, every TV series has an intro, but with Director Yu's many years of experience as a director, how many people will watch this intro, even if there is a good opening song, especially those who watch it on the Internet."
"Not much, to be precise, very few, most of the people who watch it on the Internet will pull in, and those who watch TV at home have to watch it because the TV doesn't have a fast-forward function."
"In other words, I don't like to watch the opening so much, so I have a suggestion that "New Journey to the West" should not have the title."
"Don't want an intro?"
"Yes, the myths of the flood famine, naturally, cannot all be condensed into a Journey to the West, but we can change the beginning of each episode to the myth of the famine, from Pangu to Journey to the West, each episode will be five minutes, more than 60 episodes is more than 300 minutes, which can almost tell a rough idea of the entire myth of the flood famine."
"It's a very good proposal, and I think it's better to use the opening time to tell the myth of the wilderness than to waste five minutes on the title credits that no one is watching." The more Yu Qiyuan said, the more he felt that this method was very feasible, "Well, it's a wonderful idea, but it's very suitable." ”
It's done!
Su Shichen secretly clenched his fists to cheer himself up, which also put a lot of effort into making him a drama itself. The next step is to use the plot in Journey to the West to slowly welcome out the myth of the flood.
In fact, there are many places where Journey to the West can lead to myths, such as the twenty-fourth episode of Wanshou Mountain Daxian leaving old friends, Wuzhuang Guanxing stealing ginseng, and this time there is a character called Zhen Yuanzi, in this time, Sun Wukong predicted that the fighting method failed, in fact, this is also very normal.
Who is Zhen Yuanzi? But with the demon master Kunpeng, the Styx Ancestor, Sanqing and other people of the same era, known as the ancestor of the earth immortals, how could Sun Wukong be an opponent.
The three Qing and the four emperors are all his friends, which is not nonsense at all.
In the old version of Journey to the West, seeing that Zhen Yuanzi was so powerful, it seemed that even Sun Wukong was not an opponent, and he wanted to know his identity, just when he was a child, he wanted to know who that Zhen Yuanzi was.
In the new version, you can generously tell the audience who this Zhen Yuanzi is.
There is also this time that the ginseng fruit can also lead to the ten spiritual roots of heaven and earth, and this setting is a benefit for many online writers.
In addition, a lot of topics can also be reflected by several protagonists, first of all, Sun Wukong, one of the four spirit monkeys of chaos, the names of these four spirit monkeys were only vaguely mentioned in the old version, but Su Shichen can tell all the identities of the four people.
Another example is the little white dragon, which can lead to the origin of the Dragon Palace, and at the same time can also throw out a question Weishenme The Dragon Palace is so unbearable, you must know that in mythology, it is the dragon and the phoenix competing for hegemony.
After arousing the audience's interest, the background can be revealed, that is, the first tribulation of the three tribulations of heaven and earth in the myth of the flood wilderness, the dragon, the phoenix, and the unicorn three clans compete for hegemony.
You must know that human beings are very curious animals, and when they know the first of the three tribulations of heaven and earth, they want to know the second and third tribulations, so a newly baked pit is completed.
Then the sand monk, the sand monk is a very simple look, there seems to be no story, but after taking the Western Sutra, he was named the Nan Wu Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat Bodhisattva, it is this title that can reflect the level of Buddhism Shami, Shamen, Bhikshu, Emperor Shaksha, Shengwen, Arhat, Bodhisattva, Buddha, Buddha can then use the level of Buddhism to compare the strength of immortals, differentiation of golden immortals, true immortals and so on.
According to the blessing of Buddhism, the little white dragon can also lead to the eight parts of the heavenly dragon.
The Eight Divisions of the Celestial Dragons are the Eight Celestial Beings, the Naga Beings, the Yakshas, the Gandharvas, the Asuras, the Kinaras, the Garudas, and the Mahuragas. and so on, these inextricable things can be drawn out one after another, that is to say, "New Journey to the West" is inseparable from "The Flood" created by Su Shichen.
The room was quiet, and even the rustling sound of writing on the tip of the pen could be heard clearly, Su Shichen believed that after the shooting, he would definitely become the annual ratings champion, of course, his favorite was that his book "The Flood Wilderness" became the best-selling book champion of the year.
With inspiration to solve the trouble, Su Shichen wrote until eleven o'clock, and then stopped because he was hungry. asked the waiter for a suite, saying that the service of the star hotel was in place, and the set of meals he asked for was served to the room in less than ten minutes.
After eating enough, I remembered that there was still good news that I hadn't told Wang Ni.
Call Aunt Wang's phone, "Hey, aunt, I'm still working, don't stay up too late, I can't finish my work anyway, my body is important......"
"May I ask who you are?" It was not Su Shichen's familiar Wang Ni's voice on the other end of the phone, but a young female voice. Su Shichen's chattering concern came to an abrupt end, could it be a mistake, looking at the name stored on the phone, it was not wrong.
"Uh, who are? I'm looking for Aunt Wang. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be looking for my mother, my mother is cooking, you wait a while."
Mother? Could it be that this is Aunt Wang's daughter?
Turning her gaze to the other end of the phone, Wang Ni was wearing an apron like a housewife, busy in the kitchen, but this housewife was not qualified, and she didn't start cooking until after eleven o'clock.
"Mom, someone is looking for you," Wang Shan handed the phone to Wang Ni.
"Phone? Who? ”
"I don't know, but I care about your mother, tell you not to only focus on work, but to rest more, and call your aunt." Wang Shan said this, and Wang Ni already knew who was calling.
"Hey, what's the matter with Xiao Chen?"
"Auntie, why did you cook so late, did you only care about work again, how many times have you said it, don't just care about work."
"Hmm" If someone else was babbling like this, Wang Ni broke out as usual, but listening to Su Shichen's chatter, Wang Ni just replied in a nasal voice.
"By the way, Auntie, that person just now is your daughter, why haven't you seen it before?"
"I just came back from studying in the United States."
"Oh, by the way, Auntie, I have good news to tell you, you should know that I was selected by Director Yu as the screenwriter of "New Journey to the West", that is, at this time, I wrote a book that was bound to "New Journey to the West" and sold, and I plan to hand over this book to my aunt's company for publication, what does my aunt think."
"It's not my aunt's company, it's our company, Xiao Chen, you also have shares," Wang Ni corrected.
"Oh, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, okay aunt, that's it, I still have some things on the script that are not perfect, next time we chat" When he hung up, Su Shichen also said wordy, "Auntie, you must remember not to work too late." ”
"Hmm" cut off the phone.
"Who's Mom?" Wang Shan asked with her big watery eyes.
"Su Shichen, a genius writer in Yangcheng." Wang Ni gave a brief introduction.
"Genius writer? How talented is there, there is a Scuvaro genius? "There are countless genius writers abroad, and since Wang Shan has returned home from studying in the United States, she has seen a lot of geniuses, so she disdains this genius author in Yangcheng.
"Xiao Chen is indeed a genius," Wang Ni.
"No matter how talented he is, he can't compare to Scuvarro" Wang Shan's Skuvaro is a genius writer in the United States, and he is already the author of three best-selling books at the age of seventeen, Wang Shan himself admires him very much, and often mentions him on the phone, so Wang Ni also knows.
"Xiao Chen's genius is not inferior to Scuvaro, or even more genius." Wang Ni.
