Chapter 407: Power on
Gu Mian looked at the comments and fell into deep thought, she watched relatively few TV series, and she didn't know much about what they said, why didn't everyone seem to be looking forward to "Princess Hejia" being made into a TV series at all.
She has always been a good child who is eager to learn, and when she encounters a problem that she doesn't understand, she immediately starts to investigate.
After searching for relevant information on the Internet, Gu Mian understood everyone's worries, and it was easy to encounter several major problems when adapted into a TV series.
The most serious thing is that the screenwriter changed the plot, and some even only used the name and main characters of the book, and the plot was all made up by themselves. Another problem is water injection, the main line retains the content of the original work, but adds a lot of subplots that are not in the original work, resulting in the overall rhythm being dragged and the audience is unwilling to buy it. There are also some minor problems, such as the actor who plays the lead role does not live up to the ideal in his heart. After all, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers. When you see the descriptions in the book, you have your own imaginary images in your mind.
Of course, there are also more successful adaptations into TV series.
The audience's favorite is, of course, that the plot in the restoration, not to mention 100% restoration, at least the classic scenes in the book cannot be deleted.
When Gu Mian heard that her aunt was willing to introduce the famous screenwriter Xue Shaolin to herself, she had a little more confidence in being a screenwriter, but now she is more determined to choose.
She had to write the script herself.
With this idea, Gu Mian first replied to the person in charge of Zhenyi Century, and explained the situation to the other party, she had not been engaged in a screenwriting career before, so it can be said that she was learning and creating at the same time, and it might take a long time to complete the script.
The other party also made it clear that the project will not start in a short period of time, and she has enough time to polish.
In this way, Gu Mian was relieved.
Xue Shaolin's side was interceded by Tan Zhen in person, meaning that Teacher Xue would use his spare time to guide a talented student. Xue Shaolin and Tan Zhen have collaborated on several dramas and have a close relationship, since Tan Zhen has come to her house to talk, she naturally agreed.
Xue Shaolin is a respected senior, Gu Mian generally accommodates her time, and tries to choose the country during the day, and not during working hours, so her own schedule is disordered, and sometimes day and night are reversed.
In addition to asking screenwriting teachers for one-on-one tutoring, Gu Mian also bought a lot of screenwriting-related books to study.
Some things are still too simple for her to think, writing a book and writing a script are two different things at all, and she now has a headache when she sees the script every day, and she feels that she has taken on a big project.
She thought that no matter how difficult it was, it would always take three to five months to complete.
However, three months later, she only finished half of the adaptation, and there were still parts that she was not satisfied with, and she would cut and add details when she was ready for the later inspection.
Nearly 20,000 copies of the physical book "Princess Hejia" were sold during the pre-sale period, and by the time it was officially released, there were basically not many copies left.
When the publisher signed the contract, the book was not so popular, and it was already known that it would have added another 30,000 copies.
However, in order to meet the needs of a wide range of readers, it is only a matter of time before it is reprinted.
What relieved Gu Mian's headache was that the chemistry research project she participated in was successfully completed, and she was finally able to devote all her spare time to the adaptation of the script.
After more than half a year, she finally completed the task and wrote the entire script.
However, this is not the end, the script must be handed over to the editor of Zhenyi Century for review, and if there are any problems, it must be returned to her for revision. In the later stage, if the director wants to change the lines, add storyboard scenes, etc., she will have to continue to revise them.
In short, she should be ready to revise the script at any time.
In a short period of time, Gu Mian didn't have anything to do, she could concentrate on her studies, and her spare time was free to use, which made her feel relaxed and comfortable after a long time.
It's been a long time since the end of the last book, during which scallion pancakes contacted her
Ask her when she plans to write her new book.
Gu Mian replied: "I have ideas about the new book, but I can't write it before graduation, I'm too tired and want to have a good rest." ”
The scallion pancake humbly asked: "When will you graduate?" ”
Gu Mian: "Oh, there are still two and a half semesters. ”
Scallion pancake: "......"
The scallion pancake was very helpless, but she couldn't help it, could she press Chang'an Gu Dada's hand and let her write?
She can't!
——
Gu Mian wandered in the palace of knowledge, and in his spare time, he occasionally followed Professor Gav's research team and learned a lot of knowledge beyond textbooks.
The professor also said that if she was willing to stay in the UK after graduation, he could let her join his research team on a long-term basis as part of the research team.
Recently, there was a research project in medicine, and due to Gu Mian's tight course schedule, he didn't have time to join, for which GAV regretted it.
As for post-graduation......
Of course, Gu Mian had other plans, so he had to politely decline the professor's invitation.
Because of his focus on studying, the rotation of the four seasons has also become extremely fast in Gu Mian's eyes, as if he is about to graduate unconsciously.
The physical book of "Princess Hejia" was finally reprinted, but there was no way, the readers' voices were too loud. After the first printing of 30,000 copies was sold, subsequent readers were denied it.
A reader who had spent a lot of money to buy several copies posted a photo at this time: "What am I talking about? Or am I prescient! ”
Gu Mian has been very happy recently, not because the physical book has been reprinted, but because her mother's leg has improved greatly, which is great news for her.
The last time she accompanied her mother to rehabilitation, she learned about the situation from the doctor and couldn't help jumping up immediately.
Tan Man knew his physical condition best, and he only said lightly when he heard the words: "If you want to walk like a normal person, I'm afraid it will take a long time." ”
Gu Mian said: "No matter what, this is good news, and we must celebrate." We'll go to the supermarket now, and I'll cook tonight! ”
Tan Man was infected by her emotions, raised her lips and chuckled: "Okay." ”
Gu Mian also smiled, and happily pushed his mother to go to the supermarket. Tan Man was in charge of helping her with her things, because she couldn't push the shopping cart because she was pushing a wheelchair.
The mother and daughter chatted while shopping for ingredients, and talked about Gu Mian's imminent graduation.
"You also heard from the doctor, my leg is getting better. There is also good news I didn't tell you, in fact, I was busy with work a few years ago, I became ill with my cervical spine, and I was idle in a wheelchair for the past two years. ”
Gu Mian was stunned, she didn't know that her mother had a problem with her cervical spine.
"After graduation, you can go back if you want to go back to China, and you don't have to stay here for me." Tan Man said, "When I took you abroad, I didn't worry that you would be alone in China, and I have always blamed myself for this matter, and I always feel that I have changed the direction of your life." You're separated from your boyfriend because of this......"
Gu Mian walked up to her and shook his head: "No, I want to go abroad myself." Mom is not worried that I am alone in the country, and I am also worried that you are alone abroad. As for my future, I am very good now, I like chemistry, and the professor asked me to stay in his research team, although I did not agree, but he also said that if I have enough time, I am always welcome to join. I've also written books, I've been a screenwriter, Mom, you haven't changed the direction of my life, every choice I make is a decision I made after thinking. ”
She paused, thinking of Ji Lingchuan, her eyebrows and eyes suddenly softened, revealing the coquettishness of her little daughter: "Me and Ji Lingchuan...... Even though I'm in the country, we're separated. You don't know yet, he is now an actor, he stays in the crew all the year round to film, and he doesn't have time to go home during the Chinese New Year. And I guess that's the same as now, my daily routine is full of studies, and there are very few opportunities to meet him. It's better to give each other time, and when we all become the best and meet again, those worries are gone. ”
After she returned to China, she had enough time to accompany Ji Lingchuan, and she didn't have to plan a month in advance, sometimes two months, for a meeting as before.
And Ji Lingchuan is currently in a stable career, and he no longer has to worry about being affected.
Gu Mian smiled lightly, she would go back soon.
Gu Mian's plan was to wait until June 27 to complete the graduation ceremony before returning to China, but the plan could not keep up with the changes.
Just after the last exam week in her life, Gu Mian was so sleepy that her head was about to explode, but the publisher called her at this time, wanting to hold a signing party in Beijing to print and promote "Princess Hejia".
It depends on the author's own wishes, and if she doesn't want to, the publisher won't insist on it.
Gu Mian really didn't want to hold a signing meeting, mainly because he was troublesome. Also, she felt that her achievements were not worth mentioning in front of those writers who had several works, and it would be embarrassing if no one came to the signing.
Another reason is that she wants to finish all the school affairs before returning to China, and she doesn't want to wait more than a month to get her graduation certificate after going back.
Just as she was about to refuse the publisher, news came from Zhenyi Century that "Princess Hejia" was about to start.
Before the official start, the director should hold a script meeting, and organize the main actors to participate in the script reading, and the screenwriter should be able to attend, and make changes at any time if there are questions.
The script of "Princess Hejia", Gu Mian spent more than eight months to complete the adaptation, and then handed it over to the editor for review, and it took a year and a half to finalize it.
The last level is the director, what he means is that he hopes that Gu Mian, the screenwriter, can follow the group.
Gu Mian made some trade-offs, and finally decided to return to China ahead of schedule, so he agreed to the publisher to hold a signing meeting.
The night before she left the country, Alisa cooked a sumptuous dinner for her, and the family sat around to celebrate the successful completion of her studies and the fact that she was about to step into the society from now on.
Sana's child is not very happy, she is used to her sister coming back every week to play with her, tutoring her homework, and she doesn't want her to leave.
Gu Mian pinched her face and said with a smile: "When you have a holiday, come to China to play with me, China is very fun, you haven't been there yet." ”
These words really made Sana's eyes light up, and she decided to go to China to play with her sister at the end of this semester.
Tan Man sandwiched a piece of chicken for Gu Mian and advised: "After returning to China, if you need anything, call your aunt, and I will say hello to her." ”
Gu Mian: "Mom, I know. ”
