Chapter 124: Counterattack into the heroine
"I'm against it!"
From the other end of the conference table came a clear voice.
"I object, this is my book, before the copyright is sold, we obviously agreed that we will not make a large-scale adaptation of the content, otherwise I will have to be the screenwriter of this play. You promised to do well at the time, and now you want to change my plot, and I firmly oppose it. You are breaking the contract, don't say a word! β
Mo Shuwan made an embarrassed expression.
The screenwriter glanced at the author Yue Xiaoying without cutting it.
"You just have this literati's high and sour atmosphere, and Mr. Mo doesn't want you to be the screenwriter of this drama. At your level, write novels, and those who don't know how to change with the rapid changes of this era can only be eliminated by time. Let's say a classic line of bad guys, 'Those who know the times are Junjie', do you understand, little girl? β
"You..."
Yue Xiaoying trembled with anger, but she didn't know how to refute him.
"I agree to adapt the script." Ling Feiyu was the first to speak out in support of the screenwriter.
"There are some unlogical things in the original story, if it is filmed like this, it will definitely become a flaw in this show, I have seen the adapted plot, the main plot has basically not changed, only the endings of some supporting characters have changed, such a small change is not allowed for us to come to the meeting to discuss it with such fanfare, right?"
The meeting had been going on all morning, and there was still no result of the discussion. In Ling Feiyu's opinion, it was a waste of time.
"Linfeng, what do you say?"
Concubine Ling pushed Xia Linfeng, who had been in a daze beside her.
"Oh? Is it? What the? Pretty good! β
Xia Linfeng didn't know what he was thinking, and he was not in a state at all. However, Concubine Ling Yu took advantage of him.
"Why hasn't it changed a lot, and I have changed the personality of my favorite characters, anyway, I firmly and resolutely disagree with such a change."
"What's your favorite character?"
Concubine Ling felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, Gu Xueru and Chen Jinnian's personalities naturally did not change. Looking at the author's meaning, her favorite character seems to be...
"In my novels, my favorite character is Fu Yushi, whose character and fate cannot be changed by anyone."
Yue Xiaoying's words are categorical.
Originally, he was just a character in a novel, how can his fate be changed?
But Concubine Ling is becoming more and more unbalanced, isn't Fu Yushi Cheng Zili? Now even the author is talking about Cheng Zili.
"Now I, Miss Ling, Miss Yu, and Mr. Xia Linfeng are all in favor of adapting the plot. On the other hand, only Yue Xiaoying is opposed to the adaptation, and the director remains neutral. Mr. Mo, please say something, do we want to change it, who will change this plot. β
After listening to the screenwriter's words, everyone's eyes looked at Mo Shuwan, who was the master of the conference table.
Mo Shuwan also couldn't make up her mind, "Lu Shao, what do you see?" β
What can a big man know?
Yue Xiaoying felt a deep despair for her work.
Lu Yichen leaned back and put on a look that he didn't care about himself.
"Don't ask me about this kind of thing, ask Zili, her opinion is my opinion."
"Huh? I? β
On such an occasion, how could Cheng Zili have room to express her opinions, and Lu Yichen gently and skillfully handed over the decision to her.
"I, I think it's better not to change it, Fu Yushi's personality before and after is too different, and they are a little incompatible, and the audience will be very dramatic when they watch it. Besides, it has been promoted with the theme of pure love in the early stage, and then it will be different from what was said before after it is broadcast, so it is not good to be inconsistent. Won't the audience who is attracted to the theme of pure love be disappointed? Those viewers who want to watch bloody dramas will also be unable to stand the warm emotional drama in the early stage, so don't we lose both groups of audiences? β
"Well said!"
Yue Xiaoying happily applauded Cheng Zili, making Cheng Zili's face flush.
"I'm just saying my own opinion, I don't know if it's right or not." Cheng Zili said a little embarrassed.
"Hmph~ a woman's opinion." The screenwriter was very disdainful of Cheng Zili's statement.
"How many men can watch such a love idol drama, most of them are young girls, don't you just need the little woman's advice?"
Lu Yichen said lazily, but his was not unreasonable, and Mo Shuwan couldn't help but nodded.
"Hmmm! That's the truth. β
"Okay, Mr. Mo, there are three people on our side who agree to adapt, and you, this Lu Shao and the little author agree to keep the original plot unchanged, so we still haven't decided on a winner or loser for three against three."
"Who said three against three? We still have purple glass here. β
Lu Yichen set his sights on screenwriters for the first time.
Is this thin and obscene old man so like letting his Zili play a woman who has fallen into the dust?
The screenwriter also felt a cold light. swallowed saliva under Lu Yichen's eyes, but stiffened his neck and said: "How can she, a young actor who has just entered the industry, have the qualifications to speak." β
Zili, who dared to look down on him, Lu Yichen straightened up, it seemed that he needed to emphasize the importance of his women in this crew.
"I also agree to keep the original plot as it is."
Before Lu Yichen could speak, Xia Linfeng took the lead in opening his mouth.
"What?"
"Linfeng, didn't you just say that you supported me?"
The screenwriter and Concubine Ling Yu both looked at Xia Linfeng in surprise.
"Don't mean it, I just got distracted and said the wrong thing."
It doesn't matter if he is wrong, he can keep making mistakes, it just depends on whether he is willing to make a mistake for her or change it for Cheng Zili.
Concubine Ling's fingers grasping Xia Linfeng's wrist slowly loosened, and then hung down weakly.
"Alright then, that's it. Keep the original plot unchanged, let's start today's meeting here, and continue to work for a while, time is already very tight. β
In this way, Cheng Zili's role will be much less, Fu Yushi met a good man who is down-to-earth and old, and finally got married and had children.
The married life was very happy, and gradually she forgot her hatred and forgave Gu Xueru and Chen Jinnian.
"You are my Fu Yushi?"
Just as Cheng Zili was recalling the content of the original script, a voice behind her asked her.
Yue Xiaoying is small and doesn't look very old.
"Yes, hello! You are Yue Xiaoying, the author of the original work, I like the book "The Early Years of Poetry" very much. β
Yue Xiaoying rubbed her nose shyly, "I've seen the tape you took before, and you acted very well, it's the kind of effect I want." Concubine Ling also looks good in the play, but who knew that she herself would be such a person. β
Cheng Zili smiled lightly, this Yue Xiaoying is simply a child, she can say whatever she wants, and she is really cute.
"That at least shows that Concubine Ling's acting skills are good, you should be happy."
"Even if you add drama to Fu Yushi, you shouldn't add it like this, in fact, I also wrote another version of the ending for Fu Yushi."
"Wrote two versions of the ending for a supporting character?"
"Don't the halo always shine on the protagonist? In another version of the finale, Fu Yushi and Chen Jinnian are together. After Chen Jinnian and Gu Xueru were together, he found that he had more pity and sympathy for Gu Xueru, and he began to miss Fu Yushi more and more, just when he wanted to make it clear to Gu Xueru and then go back to Fu Yushi, Gu Xueru was found to have leukemia and had less than three years to live. The kind-hearted Fu Yushi couldn't bear Gu Xueru to suffer the pain of losing her lover in the last few years of her life, so she and Chen Jinnian suppressed their feelings and took care of Gu Xueru wholeheartedly, but in the end, Gu Xueru still found out the fact that they had reunited, forgave her best friend and favorite person at the moment when Gu Xueru was dying, and then died with a smile. β
Cheng Zili couldn't calm down for a long time after listening to it, "This ending is so poignant." β
Also hearing this passage were the director and Mo Shuwan, who had just come out of the conference room.
"Why hasn't Yue Xiaoying heard you mention that there is such a version of the ending?"
"Because I thought this ending was too sad, I didn't write it like this."
"Otherwise, we will also make two versions of the ending?"
The director actually offered to shoot an additional version of the ending.
This is naturally a good thing for Cheng Zili, and Fu Yushi in the ending of the second version simply counterattacked and became the heroine.
But the question is, will Ling Feiyu agree?
"If you shoot like this, Ling Feiyu's work may be more difficult to do. Su Mingqi! β
Mo Shuwan first muttered to herself, and then suddenly called Su Mingqi's name, which scared Su Mingqi.
"Sister Mo, don't you want me to talk to Miss Ling about this?"
Looking at Su Mingqi's funny appearance, he seemed to be about to cry.
"No kidding, do you think she'll agree? You go and tell Xia Linfeng and let him tell Concubine Ling about it. β
Ay?
Let Xia Linfeng say?
"Sister Mo, you are really a female middle school Zhuge , a heroine, like a god, strategizing..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's get to work."
"Order! The little ones are going. β
Mo Shuwan turned to Yue Xiaoying again, "Miss Yue, can you ask you to write the script for the second version of the ending yourself?" The corresponding remuneration will not be less than you. β
"Can I write? Is it true? That's great. β
Yue Xiaoying almost jumped up with excitement.
Su Mingqi had been lying on the door panel of Concubine Ling's dressing room, listening to the movement of the faΓ§ade.
He originally thought that Concubine Ling would lose her temper, but he didn't expect to be really expected by Mr. Mo, as soon as Xia Linfeng came out, Concubine Ling was like a little cat eating milk, as docile as she was.
The relationship between these people is really confusing, and Su Mingqi can't figure it out.
"Linfeng, you know that I have always only played the female lead."
Concubine Ling suppressed the anger in her heart, Xia Linfeng was challenging her bottom line.
"Concubine Yu, you're still the female number one, it's just the second version of the ending, I think this creation is still very good, and you can also vote for the audience's favorite ending on the Internet or something."
"Summer Linfeng!"
Concubine Ling was so angry that she stood up.
"Don't you think it's too wronged for me?"
