Chapter 16: Natsuhime's Eight Editions [Asking for Subscription]
"Usurpation of the Orchid" is the title of the play given by Mu Zhi.
Ordinary viewers can tell what this play is about from the title of the play.
But as long as they open the plot, they will definitely receive surprises.
Bai Si is really a screenwriter with excellent professional quality, took Muzhi's money, and completed the work very seriously.
For Muzhi's request, Bai Si basically complied with it all.
The plot designed by Bai Si is like this:
The modern teenager Yan Shuangying is the captain of the Heavenly Wolf's Tooth Special Forces, with unparalleled combat power, and has made great achievements for the Heavenly Kingdom on the underground battlefield, and is above countless women as a man.
In the process of performing a mission, Yan Shuangying obtained a piece of ancient jade, because of the injury, the blood on his hand seeped into the jade pendant, and he inadvertently opened the time and space channel.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already the Lan Dynasty, Yan Shuangying accidentally met Murong Xuan, the eighth princess of the Lan Dynasty, and casually recited a poem, which made the eighth princess Murong Xuan fall in love at first sight.
Murong Xuan overrode the public opinion and brought Yan Shuangying back to his princess's mansion, Yan Shuangying came from later generations, handsome, ape arms and bee waist, plus talented, Murong Xuan soon fell completely, and decided to marry Yan Shuangying as her husband.
But Yan Shuangying is a Han ~ person after all, in the Lan Dynasty, a Han ~ person is not qualified to intermarry with Xianbei people, let alone a Xianbei royal family.
Therefore, Murong Xuan's decision was unanimously opposed by the Lan Dynasty.
After all, the eighth princess is the one who wants to compete for the throne, and she is impossible and qualified to be the enemy of the whole world, not to mention that she has to rely on marriage to gain the support of other nobles, so the eighth princess had to give up the idea of letting Yan Shuangying be her husband, and instead persuaded Yan Shuangying to be her lover~.
In the Lan Dynasty, women can be open-minded and open-minded, especially for people like Murong Xuan, who are princesses, and establishing a harb~ palace is just a basic operation.
However, Yan Shuangying is from modern times, although he has also seen a lot of beautiful men as rich women's love~ husbands, but as the captain of the wolf's tooth, a generation of military gods, Yan Shuangying has his own pride, and he is resolutely not a junior.
So he angrily reprimanded Murong Xuan and left the Eighth Princess's Mansion angrily.
Then, she "met" the fourth princess Murong Yan, and the two sides had physical contact under the circumstances of "accident", and the fourth princess Murong Yan was in a state of flux.
The plot comes to an abrupt end here, and it can be seen that Bai Si must have been an author who was proficient in using the skills of breaking chapters when he wrote it.
Makiyuki was satisfied.
After all, Bai Si was only given one day, and it was already great to be able to write these contents, and it is estimated that two or three episodes can be filmed for these plots written by Bai Si alone.
"Yes, it's the style I want, if only a little more Mary Sue." Makiyuki said approvingly.
Bai Si is as good as a stream: "A little more Mary Sue?" Mr. Lin, can you be a little more detailed? I can change it again. ”
"The current plot is too realistic, for example, the Lan Dynasty is all against Murong Xuan and Yan Shuangying being together, the reason is that Yan Shuangying is a Han ~ person, and he is not qualified to marry with Xianbei people, so there is no need for this plot to exist."
Mu Zhi decided to teach Bai Si well and make her the mother of this world.
Bai Si was stunned: "Mr. Lin, is there something wrong with this plot?" I'm writing based on historical facts. ”
Is she easy? In order to write a good script, Bai Si flipped through a lot of history books overnight.
For the profession of screenwriter, Bai Si is still very awe-inspiring.
Today is destined to be a day of reshaping of Bai Si's three views.
Mu Zhi's next words made Bai Si begin to doubt life.
"It doesn't matter how it is written in the history books, it is more important to make the audience look good. Screenwriter Bai, let me ask you, who is the biggest audience for TV series? ”
"Woman."
"No, it's the men, and it's the househusbands who sit at home all day and have nothing to do, and the young men who are in their prime and haven't really entered the society yet. They have no financial pressure, they have not experienced the beating of society, and they have a lot of free time, so they have time to watch TV. ”
Bai Si thought about it seriously and had to admit that what Mu Zhi said made sense.
Her strong female girlfriends are basically in the office seven days a week.
TV series?
Who has time to watch TV?
I don't watch it when I have time, the TV series is too silly.
"Screenwriter Bai, do you think that for this group of men, do they care what is written in the history books?"
Bai Si: "......"
Makizhi asked himself: "They don't care, their lives are boring, and they even feel depressed, so what the TV series has to do is to stimulate their adrenaline and let them substitute for the male protagonist." The farther the plot of the abuse of the main plot rolls, the better, just to make them feel as if they have returned to the Lan Dynasty, waving the princess with a stick, and copying poems to shock the world. Write a script along this line, you can't fire me and eat the keyboard. ”
This is how "Palace" became popular.
No matter how many male viewers complain about Luo Qingchuan played by Da Mi Mi, it will not affect the fire of "Palace" in the slightest, and let Da Mi Mi become a god in the TV drama circle.
Yu's mother also started from "Palace" and almost ruled the Huaguo TV circle for several years.
It's okay not to watch "Palace", but you have to acknowledge the success of this TV series and then use it.
Makiyuki is the kind of person who can objectively look at things he doesn't like, and then learn from them.
You can't despise others and be inferior to them at the same time.
Of course, the divine dramas that Muzhi wants to shoot are not all "Palaces" that have been changed by magic.
As an excellent director, Makiyuki still has a passion for art...... Probably......
"Palace" is just one of the elements that Makiyuki borrows.
This is also the second level of realm that Bai Si has not yet comprehended.
"Mr. Lin, I probably understand what you said, I will revise the script according to your intention by strengthening the charm of the male protagonist to attract male audiences, but it seems that the plot you described yesterday is more than that? It seems that there will be a rebellion in the future? As far as I know, male viewers don't like to watch the plot of rebellion, but we women like to watch it more, and I wrote about the rebellion through the Lan Dynasty at the end, and most of the readers are female readers. ”
Mu Zhi's eyes lit up: "You still have this kind of experience, that's great, you're right, male readers don't care about rebellion, they only care about sending iron rods." ”
It's like on the earth that the Qing Piercing drama has been criticized by many boys for having three wrong views, and the heroine only knows how to send it across the world, it is undeniable that most female viewers just like to watch the heroine travel to ancient times to attract those high-ranking princes to tear themselves apart ~ forced.
Flag-ripping rebellion? Fighting on the battlefield? That's a man's business, women aren't interested.
It's the same in this world, but it's just a swap of genders.
But it doesn't matter.
"If a TV series wants to become a god, it needs to expand its audience to all levels. Male audiences are the basic plate of the TV series "Usurpation", but it can't rely entirely on male audiences, otherwise there is a limit to how popular it is. ”
No matter how popular "Palace" is, is there a fire in "In the Name of the People"?
This is not a matter of word-of-mouth, "Palace" only conquered young female audiences, while "In the Name of the People" conquered almost all audiences, regardless of gender or age.
When "Palace" was popular, the young people around me talked about "Palace".
When "In the Name of the People" was popular, the elders around me also liked it, and the young people also liked it, the female audience was busy calling on Weibo, and the male audience was busy Amway.
Muzhi didn't go to "Palace".
"The rebellion plot is added later, just to attract female audiences. The previous Mary Sue plot is enough to make the TV series "Uran" a big hit, and the later rebellious plot will make the popularity of "Uran" even higher, and the ratings will rise again. ”
Bai Si always felt that there was something wrong.
This doesn't fit your own worldview.
"Mr. Lin, what if it backfires? Female viewers abandoned the drama because of the rebellion plot in the later stage, and male viewers couldn't watch it because of the Mary Sue plot in the early stage, which is also very likely to happen. Bai Si retorted.
Makiyuki smiled: "Impossible. ”
"Why?"
"Whether it's a TV series or a movie, as long as the popularity rises, it won't go down, don't underestimate the herd effect. It doesn't matter if the quality is good or not, the most important thing is not to let yourself fall behind. If your girlfriends are talking about the same TV series, even if you don't like it, will you not watch it? ”
Bai thought for a while, and then shook his head: "No, I want to make sure that I have a topic to talk about with my best friend." ”
"So that's why those TV movies don't go down anymore after they get hot."
There is certainly no shortage of people in the world who like to be alone, but there are so few that any choice has to be made.
Muzhi will not think about pleasing ~ everyone, pleasing ~ the vast majority of people, it is enough to make "Uran" popular.
Bai Si was persuaded by Mu Zhi, but she still couldn't accept Yan Shuangying's personality: "Mr. Lin, is the force value you added to Yan Shuangying too high?" What we do is a historical drama. ”
"What's wrong with historical dramas? Have you ever heard of a hand-tearing devil? Have you ever heard of hidden thunder in the crotch? Have you ever heard of Yan Shuangying single-handedly fighting Thanos? ”
Bai Si nodded honestly: "I haven't heard of it." ”
"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, you just need to know that these plots are successful."
Why are there so many anti-Japanese dramas?
Because of people's high ratings.
Reality is never logical, reality is reality.
Mu Zhi once did an investigation in person, and a fifty-year-old couple told him that they just like to watch anti-Japanese dramas, and they don't like the kind of spy war dramas that cost their brains, such as "The Pretender", "No War in Peking" or something......
Most of the time, the market is determined by the audience.
You can guide the audience's preferences, but never despise the audience's preferences, otherwise you will definitely hit the street, if you don't believe in evil, please refer to Feng Xiaogang Chen Kaige.
Bai Si still didn't quite understand Makiyuki's self-confidence.
But she realized Makiyuki's firmness, so she honestly went back and wrote the entire script.
Originally, there was no need to write so much, TV series are generally written while filming, but Mu Zhi has full confidence in the TV series of "Usurpation of Lan", so he is not afraid that it will be useless to write at all, and directly let Bai Si write all the plots behind.
Bai Si let go of himself, and a script integrating romance, palace fighting, war, and science fiction was born.
After a long time, Bai Si went to the film school to give a lecture, and the students in the audience asked for advice in a pious tone: "Mr. Bai, how did you write such an imaginative script as "Uran" in the first place? ”
Bai Si's expression was very complicated: "I won't tell you, my teacher's name is Xia Ji, she has her own unique understanding in the screenwriting line, and she has published a book called "Eight Series", and it is because of the true biography of Teacher Xia Ji that I have completed the transformation." ”
