Originally, the Legend of the White Snake was scheduled to the last episode, and the finale was also paved enough, basically the problems were laid out in the 19 episodes broadcast before, and the last episode was solved smoothly with half an episode, and the last ten minutes were spent on a reunion.

Now it was supposed to be the last time to shoot out, but a group of people broke into the door and blinded back!

The eight screenwriters discussed for more than two hours, but still did not come up with a satisfactory answer.

"The last episode is the fighting method, the green snake and the white snake fighting the sea, and the water is full of Jinshan."

"Fahai can't leave yet, he hasn't gone to Lingyin Temple yet!"

"That's right! Jinshan Temple is not a temple in Hangzhou, Fahai hasn't gone to the local Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou to check in, how can he just be gone? ”

"The above rigid requirement is that several scenic spots must be added, especially a few scenic spots in Hangzhou, which should be described."

The specific route was quickly determined, but how to fill in the outline was a bit of a problem.

"Let's go separately."

"It's definitely going to be separated, but with which narrative structure?"

Several screenwriters looked at the screenwriter who had well-known works and was also a celebrity in the industry.

The narrative structure can be seen as a line.

Different narrative structures determine the change of route.

With different narrative structures, the audience will see a story that corresponds to the line.

There are usually seven narrative structures, and the screenwriter and director can see which formula corresponds to when they get the script.

For example, the narrative structure of a tragedy: the pyramid of Freitag, low and low

Beginning: When you encounter something, you want to change.

Asscent: Investigate the reason to know a peer.

Climax: Actively confronted, unwilling to be played by fate

Ebb and Flow: After the climax, it suddenly turns out that things are continuing as they were in the end.

Ending: Struggling and finding that everything has changed when it comes to the intended ending.

The Legend of the White Snake definitely does not follow this, and the main screenwriter said directly: "Use the hero's journey." ”

The rest of us are not surprised that this structure is indeed the mainstream one.

1. Ordinary World: The protagonist is everyday

2. Call of Adventure: Encounter.

3. The hero has not yet awakened, encounters a crisis, awakens and evolves.

4. Meet the Mentor: The hero meets someone who prepares them for the future, whether it is a parent, a teacher, a fairy, or a wise hermit.

5. Crossing the first threshold: grief, or something big like the death of a family member, can also be a small ordeal that seven people overcome together, and the hero steps out of his comfort zone and joins a new organization and a new place.

6. Test, ally, enemy.

7. Heroes approach their goal.

8. Severe trials and overcome.

9. Reward: Heroes get something important they are after, and victory is in sight.

10. The Road to Return: Discover that the Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness are not the final boss, the real boss is......

11. Induction: The protagonists were almost defeated, and at the critical moment, they recalled the adventures along the way, and finally worked together to defeat the final boss.

12. Loaded and Loaded: After the victory, the protagonists return to their old lives.

A middle-aged man said: "It's okay to use this, but we're not alone, if we are separated, each person is responsible for how many episodes, how to divide it?" ”

The chief screenwriter quickly said: "Divide several scenic spots and stories, divide them according to your own knowledge reserves, in short, try not to make a magic weapon and plot beyond the circle of ability when you are responsible." ”

The rest nodded, in short, no matter how many episodes the protagonist group has performed, just don't grow.

Even if you grow, you have to return to your original state when you enter the next plot.

The general direction has been decided, but there are more issues to be discussed.

"Who can sing? The script is written, and there are a few songs to sing in this episode, and they are all dialogues in the form of drama and rap, which I won't accept. ”

Taking over someone else's script work like this will encounter many problems, the biggest of which is that it does not match the previous ideas and style.

Those who eat this bite of food are psychologically prepared for this kind of thing, and most screenwriters have a strong ability to imitate and appreciate it, and can find the grass snake gray line more accurately than the audience.

But what is now in front of several gold medal screenwriters is not how to develop the script, nor is it a matter of continuing to make things up blindly, but integrating the duet style of quyi and rap.

This form of dialogue made "The Legend of the White Snake" quickly become popular, and now the screenwriters are worried in front of this hot spot.

"I told the director, and the director said that he had found someone who could sing Huangmei Opera, and he would arrive in the afternoon, and he would have a meeting to study it then."

Wei Zhongzhou quickly sent an assistant over.

"Is the script ready? Not much time left! ”

"Urge! What to urge! I just started today, how can I make it up so quickly! ”

"Hurry up, you can't postpone, and you can't affect the follow-up update, the requirements are set above, and the script must be determined today!"

"! How did this Illong make up twenty episodes in one day?! ”

Several scriptwriters are anxiously trying to figure out how to do it.

They are responsible for different plots and belong to the same script writing team.

Usually, scripts such as TV dramas, which require a lot of creative content, are jointly responsible for multiple scriptwriters.

After the scriptwriter in charge finalizes the general direction, the remaining scriptwriters fill in the plot according to the stage they take over.

Writing a script is not writing a novel, it needs to be revised repeatedly, and it also needs to be revised according to the actors, the real environment, policy requirements and other aspects.

People like Zhang Rilong, who hammered out the general plot in one night, are not nothing, but they can only be classified as talented geniuses.

Creating one episode is different from creating a hundred episodes, and people's energy is always limited, and the ideas in their heads cannot always pop up.

After two days of busy drafting, the script team preliminarily determined the general plot, such as some people write the plot of Qiandao Lake, some people write the plot of the imperial court, and some people continue to write daily plots.

In terms of songs, a professional team has also been found to be responsible, and there is no shortage of professionals in this era, and if you have money, you can find suitable tunes to adapt from the accumulation of history.

The number of people in the composition team, drama team, and crew is constantly increasing.

The creative staff worked longer and longer overtime, and under intense pressure, another scriptwriter soon ran away.

The more people in the industry are, the more clear they know what kind of immortal behavior Zhang Rilong is to write 20 episodes of the script in one or two days.

"How's it going? I heard that the progress has stopped in the past two days. ”

Li Baixing brought his subordinates over to visit the class, this "The Legend of the White Snake" is his achievement, as the initiator, Li Baixing is very concerned about the progress here.

Liu Suifeng quickly said: "Everything is going well, the song and script have been finalized, and the quality is first-class." ”

Li Baixing nodded with satisfaction, "Did Zhang Rilong contact you over there?" ”

Liu Suifeng said: "He didn't contact me, I sent him the new script and the music compiled by the master of Jinling Huangmei Opera this morning, and he replied in the afternoon, and didn't say anything else." ”

Li Baixing smiled, "Let him calm down first, and then coax him when he is angry after a while, this kid still has talent." ”

Liu Suifeng also said with a smile: "Yes, the talent is really enough, the screenwriter, composer, costume design and makeup design and other things that more than 100 people came up with, he did it all alone, but he was too arrogant, he didn't listen to persuasion, and he said that he had found him seven times, but he didn't let him go." ”

Li Baixing was in a good mood at this time, "Anyone can turn around when this world leaves." ”
