317 Screenwriting Rules and Liu Shishi's version of "Mufu Fengyun"

The crew of "Celebrating More Than Years", above the city gate

Wei Yang was wearing armor, and Shi Shiran looked at the rebels under the city, as well as the leading crown prince and the second prince, and his tone was gloomy.

"Prince, come down."

In front of him, there were several women such as the queen mother and the queen, and when the rebels threatened the palace, Fan Xian, played by Wei Yang, decisively invited the biological mother of the prince and others and the queen mother to the city as hostages.

"Fan Xian, you are shameless!"

The crown prince and the second prince under the city were extremely angry, Fan Xian didn't care, and the villain next to him, the head of the Qin family, asked to release arrows to attack the city, but was stopped by the prince.

On the city wall, Fan Xian also used the mouth of Fan Xian to say the reason why the prince and others did not dare to do it.

On the one hand, it must be caused by family affection, and on the other hand, it is a taboo to publicly kill one's mother and grandmother, which is even worse than the so-called killing of one's father and brother.

After all, there are many cases of cannibalism between royal families in this kind of struggle for the throne in all dynasties, and there are too few cases of this kind of grandiose killing even women and children's mothers.

The crown prince and the second prince are not ordinary rebels, their purpose is for the throne, and it would be too bad to kill their mother.

Of course, the situation is critical, and if you are in a hurry, you may do it and make up for it later, but at the moment, Fan Xian's purpose is to delay time, and how long can it be delayed.

"Okay, card."

After Wei Yang finished his lines, today's shooting will be almost over, and it will be dark if he waits, and there will be no big night scenes in this scene.

Wei Yang asked people to help remove his armor, and then compared the plot just now with the screenwriter Wang Juan in the group.

Fan Xian in the original work is much more vicious and vicious, especially the envoy to the Northern Qi Dynasty, as well as the subsequent various exercises, after realizing the dark tide within Qingguo, he did everything he could, and even used a lot of despicable means.

There is no problem with online texts, Fan Xian's character design is self-interested and dark, but the TV series is not good.

As I said before, there is a big difference between TV dramas and online articles, and they have a wide range of audiences and great influence, so the scale should be smaller.

Many plots and characters in online texts, especially the male and female protagonists, cannot be adapted according to the script, cannot be too anti-social, and the settings must be "correct".

So in the first season, Fan Xian will stand up for the guards, disgusted with the feudal aristocratic thinking, and respect and adhere to the norms of modern people.

The setting itself is also passive, personal ambition is limited, and it has only slowly matured under the pressure of the enemy step by step, and will make certain counterattacks and calculations, and the bottom line is still positive.

Compared with the first season, Fan Xian's style is more radical, but he still holds the bottom line - self-preservation.

The first few fathers, Chen Pingping, Fan Jian, and Emperor Qing each have their own calculations, and a large group of villains want to kill them quickly, so Fan Xian can only fight, fight for the inner library, fight for the Supervision Yuan, and fight for power.

If he wants to survive and protect his family and friends, he has to kill all his enemies.

This is also blackened to a certain extent, but with an extra layer of "fig leaf", it can be understood and accepted by most of the audience, not Fan Xian is bad, but he has to be broken by others.

It looks a bit of a white lotus, and even takes off your pants and farts, but you need this when you shoot a TV series.

For example, in the previous "East Palace", this character is also doing everything, and he is very conspiracy, and he is even suspected of "killing his father".

In the play, it is implied that the male protagonist has done something to his father, but the filming is very vague, it is an indirect murder, and it is more about seizing power than killing his father.

At the same time, the purpose of the male protagonist is to live for the common people in the world, and he has been working hard for it, and his father is a "villain", which weakens this ethical contradiction.

The same is true for "Celebrating More Than Years", if you want to be on the TV platform, then you have to have such a treatment, and Wei Yang himself is actually conservative, and the plot of the explosion of Taisanguan can't be written, at least not on the protagonist or positive characters.

The above plot of holding "women and children" hostage has also done a lot of foreshadowing before, it is just an introduction, with another purpose, it is not so bad on the surface, and the queen mother and queen have done a lot of bad things before, and they belong to villains.

Let's just say it, it was Fan Xian who cut these two old ladies, and the audience may still feel happy.

After discussing with screenwriter Wang Juan for a while, and confirming that there were no logical loopholes, and the plot would not cause disgust, Wei Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile.

"It is said that it is easy to change the online text, but I don't know that the online text is changed into a script, and it is better to change it, which is not easier than writing a script directly."

"Indeed."

Wang Juan nodded, he is one of the screenwriters of the "Celebrating More Than Years" series, and he also participated in the screenwriter of "The Chef of the Flower Teapot", and he has a deep understanding of the adaptation of online texts.

Especially for male frequency, the scene is too big, the number of words is too much, how to delete unnecessary characters and plots, ensure the selling point of the original work, and conform to the style of the TV series, this is all knowledge.

To be honest, the current Wang Juan is not experienced enough, has little experience in adapting online texts, and there is still a certain gap from the level of the previous life.

Fortunately, there is a Wei Yang, who has a lifetime of experience and vision, and the two cooperate and learn from each other's strengths, which can be regarded as gnawing down the "Celebrating More Than Years" series.

Even so, the two have to deal with each other from time to time, and even Wang Juan has been stationed in the group for a long time, which shows the importance attached to the script of "Celebrating More Than Years".

Of course, Wang Juan is not at a loss, the "Celebrating More Than Years" series made him famous, as if he had become a first-line screenwriter, and the manuscript fee soared.

"I heard that there is a project looking for you?"

Wei Yang and Wang Juan have a good relationship, after all, they often communicate when they get scripts, and they are all peers, so they can talk about each other, if it weren't for Wang Juan who didn't want to "send people under the fence", Wei Yang would have signed him into the Blue Whale.

Even if he fails to become a family, Wei Yang intends to cooperate with Wang Juan for a long time.

The two parties have signed a contract, and after "Celebrating More Than Years", Wang Juan will provide or be responsible for adapting three scripts for Blue Whale, and the remuneration will be handsome.

Of course, Wei Yang was not the only one staring at Wang Juan.

"Celebrating More Than Years" is so popular, the copyright of the online text outside is crazy, and when I get the copyright, I naturally want to change it to a script, and then make a drama to make money.

The best screenwriter in the industry to adapt online articles is Wei Yang, this one will definitely not be invited, so Wang Juan and several screenwriters under Blue Whale are worth money.

On Wang Juan's side, Wei Yang only knew the news, and his two apprentices, Ma Jin and Zuo Le, had already received the offer.

It's just that these two are quite loyal, and they know their strengths and weaknesses, so they follow the master steadfastly.

Other screenwriters are different, there are really tempting people who want to run away, but the blue whale is not easy to mess with.

Wei Yang doesn't care about the artists leaving, but the creative staff is another matter.

Many of the core creative talents within the company have participated in important projects, involving and understanding some ideas and secrets, and if this kind of person is let go, the company will lose a lot, so they have signed confidentiality or even non-compete agreements.

In the event of dismissal or resignation, Wei Yang can even give a certain amount of financial compensation, but within the specified time, he is absolutely not allowed to engage in relevant occupations or disclose company information.

One thing to say, as a professional screenwriter, Wei Yang is reluctant to do this, but there is no way, the rules are not strict, that is, to make wedding dresses for others.

Think about one day, a screenwriter from a blue whale took "his idea" and made a "Wandering Earth" and "Chinatown Detective" a great success, so Wei Yang could vomit to death.

However, Wang Juan is not a person of the Blue Whale, and Wei Yang will not stop him from cooperating with others, at most, he cares about the market, and then don't delay the draft of the Blue Whale.

Wang Juan didn't hide it: "There is a company that got the copyright of "Tomb of the Gods" and asked me to adapt it. ”

"What's the price?"

Wang Juan gestured, and Wei Yang pouted: "The price is low, not as high as my apprentice." ”

There was a company that approached Zuo Le and bid 4 million, which is also the highest offer received by the Blue Whale Screenwriting Studio so far.

That's right, Blue Whale screenwriters are strictly forbidden to take private work, but if the bid is higher than the other party and the conditions are suitable, the company can't stop employees from making money.

Therefore, taking it in the name of the screenwriter's studio under the company's name is considered a project business, and when the screenwriters eat the lion's share, the company will also take a part.

Don't think it's Wei Yang sucking blood, if the blue whale comes forward to take care of it, the negotiation, legal affairs, and logistics miscellaneous work company will be all covered.

Save worry and effort, and ensure that the interests of the screenwriter are maximized, and there will be no consequences.

This point is very critical, I have said before that many screenwriters have a high level, but they can't negotiate, they don't know how to contract, they don't have enough control over their own interests, and they are easy to be dug up and in arrears, and these blue whales can be dealt with.

This reason is also a key to Blue Whale's ability to retain screenwriters.

Management must be loose and clear, both strict and sufficiently beneficial, otherwise the high-pressure policy alone will go wrong sooner or later.

As far as Wang Juan is concerned, if he hadn't debuted for many years, relied on it, and was really unwilling to have multiple bosses on his head, he would have probably voted for the blue whale.

"How many names Zuo Le has followed you, and I have also become a big hit in "Celebrating More Than Years".

Wang Juan himself has a good mentality, although Zuo Le and Ma Jin have their own disadvantages, they can't stand to follow Wei Yang for a long time, and they are also conscientious and hardworking.

The two of them have signed many projects in Blue Whale, and they are Wei Yang's apprentices, so their worth is naturally not low.

Although Wang Juan debuted earlier and has no low qualifications, he has to say that the most out-of-the-circle has to be "Celebrating More Than Years".

But the first screenwriter of "Celebrating More Than Years" is Wei Yang, so Wang Juan's credit has been more or less discounted by the outside world.

However, Wei Yang knew Wang Juan's talent, and felt that the other party's bid was too low, and this project really didn't have anything to do.

The online works of male frequency authors are difficult to adapt in film and television.

Among them, Chen Dong, the author of "Tomb of the Gods", is undoubtedly one of the most difficult god authors in film and television adaptation in Wei Yang's opinion.

The scene of Chen Dong's works is too big, and the level of power is too high, compared with other authors' online articles, the cost performance of film and television adaptations is very low.

If you consider the times, the current stage of film and television technology will not be able to make the ideal "Tomb of the Gods", even if it is barely produced, the cost is unimaginable.

Wei Yang can be sure that this project is either a circle of money or unfinished, and if Wang Juan participates, there is a high probability that he will not get the final payment.

This is not sensational, there were too many such cases in the previous life, when the copyright of online articles was hot, IP was flying all over the sky, and the industry was also mixed, I don't know how many screenwriters received similar jobs, and the result was rotten.

Wei Yang himself touched it twice, once without the ending, and the other time Party A disappeared halfway through the script.

"There are too many liars, you must be careful, you don't move the pen if you don't see the money, and the book of "Legend of Dance Music" is faster, wait for the rice to go to the pot."

After the friendly reminder, the latter is what Wei Yang is most concerned about, and now there is no shortage of idol scripts in Blue Whale, but there are few dramas like this that are biased and the plot is exciting, so Wei Yang will pay so much attention to Wang Juan.

The drama "Legend of Dance Music" is not very famous, but it is actually of high quality, with a Douban score of 8.7.

This drama is Wang Juan's masterpiece, a suspenseful reasoning drama under the feelings of the family and country, with strict logic and reversals everywhere, somewhat similar to the exotic version of "The Chronicles of the Great Song Dynasty" in the Tang Dynasty.

When Wei Yang first pulled Wang Juan to play "Celebrating More Than Years", this script was still being drafted, and he had already remembered it.

In addition to "The Legend of Dance and Music", Wei Yang also set his sights on "Mufu Fengyun".

This drama has been broadcast in the original time and space, and now it is also because Wang Juan was abducted by Wei Yang to write the "Celebrating More Than Years" trilogy, which led to the postponement of the script and is currently in the preparatory stage.

It's just that this script was pre-booked, and Wei Yang couldn't grab it, so he could only discuss it slowly to see if he could develop and cooperate together.

"Legend of Dance and Music" Not to mention, Wei Yang in "Mufu Fengyun" wants to fight for Liu Shishi.

This drama is a main drama, which is expected to be broadcast on CCTV, the character is pleasing, and the difficulty of the performance is not particularly high, and it happens to be the kind of role that Liu Shishi is good at on the outside and strong on the inside, which is suitable for Liu Shishi's transformation.

After "Step by Step" in her previous life, the resources that the Tang people gave Liu Shi were very ordinary, of course, there were also some reasons for herself.

But now with Wei Yang, there is no need to toss around some unnecessary scenes.

A historical and legendary heroine drama like "Mufu Fengyun", and there is a high chance of being on CCTV, will have more and better promotion effects on Liu Shishi's career.

In the last life, why many big heroines were rushed to play by female stars, it was naturally because of the great bonus to them, and the cliff improvement in coffee position, fame, and commercial value.

It is no exaggeration at all, Sun Niangniang is the best example, relying on several big heroine dramas to become the queen of TV.

The influence of the original time and space "Mufu Fengyun" is not small, and the reason why it has not been out of the circle by a large extent is due to the platform, lineup and production team to a certain extent.

But if it is handed over to the Blue Whale or the Tang Dynasty to operate, it will be different, and Liu Shishi's popularity and exposure should not be underestimated.

Wei Yang had thought about Liu Shishi's future career plan before, and there were many ways out, but each had its own flaws.

The big heroine of "Mufu Fengyun" is an attempt, and if she can, she can also try the later "Legend of Dance Music".

The heroine is smart and introverted, and she has a lot of plays, which is also very suitable for Liu Shishi's play.

Anyway, it's better than playing the old-fashioned plot of "The Legend of the Female Doctor and the Concubine", which is a dead and alive plot of love between two brothers, this kind of plot is no different from "Step by Step", and the quality is far worse.........
