The finale banquet and Xu Song's 25th birthday banquet came together.

Xu Song's birthday was originally June 7th, and before that, when every woman wanted to take a day to celebrate his birthday, he realized that most girlfriends couldn't celebrate birthdays, so he had to excuse himself to be busy.

But he was not lonely that day, because there was still Liang Yuanyuan recording an album in Dongsheng. And Liang Yuanyuan happened to be on June 15's birthday, and the two spent it together.

As a result, because the two went out frequently, they were photographed, and in those days, there were rumors that Xu Song and Liang Yuanyuan were in love again.

On the 21st, Liang Yuanyuan's first album "Yuanyuan" was released, with Xu Song's endorsement and the title of "Best Newcomer of the Year at the Longyin Award", which sold 900,000 copies on the first day, almost breaking 100. And all the people who have heard it are unanimously praised, and the rating on Longyin is as high as 9.5 points.

At the same time, Xu Song also devoted himself to the post-production of "Chainsaw". After discussing the time with Xu Song, Fukushima applied to the Entertainment Association for a schedule on Saturday, July 20.

It's a pity that the summer file is already full of new films, and finally changed to August 1, the last month of the summer file.

Xu Song, who received the feedback, was a little dazed: This "Chainsaw" has no special effects, and 99% of it is an indoor drama, with the current professional film industry, it can be done in five days, what are you doing in the rest of the days?

Then Fukushima couldn't wait to hand over an idea: make a TV series!

In the days without Xu Song, the film and television department's TV series "Lonely and Brilliant Ghost" was cut in half in prime time after four episodes, and then returned to 10 to 12 o'clock on Sunday night

fixed time slots. As a result, the ratings couldn't even catch up with half of the second broadcast of "The Lonely and Brilliant Ghost".

So what to do? Mediocrity as always.

Do you make a TV series?

But what to shoot?

Just like I thought about it before, I don't want to make idol dramas anymore. Several familiar domestic high-rated dramas are inconsistent with the national conditions of the Dragon Kingdom, and they must not be adapted to the soil and water when they move over.

As for other high-rated TV series in China, they are either commercially hyped, or they are genres that they don't like, and they haven't watched it at all.

seems to think about it, now it is the most suitable for filming, it is still a Korean drama, a "The Young Son of the Chaebol Family", business war + revenge, but there are many modifications, at least to participate in the presidential election, which is simply impossible in the Dragon Kingdom. And in addition to the fact that the protagonist only needs to be cool and handsome, the acting skills of other actors are very high;

or the global hit "Squid Game", although it is said that the first eight episodes are gods, and the last episode is unfinished, Xu Song feels normal. One is that the protagonist has experienced such a situation on the line of life and death, the brain is stimulated, and it is not impossible for the personality to improve. And then a lot of hasty and inexplicable plots, also in preparation for the second season. And the biggest advantage of this drama is that it can warm up "Chainsaw".

However, when thinking of "Squid Game", Xu Song immediately thought of the Japanese comic "Gambling Apocalypse". Whether it is Japan's "Battle Royale", South Korea's "Squid Game", Hollywood's "The Hunger Games", or China's "Animal World", they are all inspired by this anime.

And Xu Song on the earth, when he is most tired, his favorite thing to do is not to listen to songs and watch movies, but to be alone quietly

, huddled in the corner and reading a comic book.

Turning a manga into a TV series?

A crazy thought came to Xu Song's mind.

Although his drawing ability is extremely poor, he can use real people to replace the characters in the comics, such as "Gambling Apocalypse", isn't it Kaiji Ito played by Fujiwara Ryuya?

Filming "Squid Game" is better than filming "Gambling Apocalypse"! Anyway, I've not only watched the manga a few times, but also watched the anime twice, even if some details are forgotten, there are not many, and you can make up for it by yourself.

And this is originally a masterpiece with a strange painting style and a super divine plot, which is very suitable for making a live-action drama.

However, it can't be copied safely, anime and real people, there is still a difference, at least the rhythm, it must be fast. In terms of attractiveness, "Gambling Apocalypse" is not lacking at all, what is "rich and stupid", "a man who can only go against the wind", Kaiji Ito is this!

Moreover, it is not just an ordinary gambling animation, it even contains elements such as blood, inspiration, reasoning, wit, and competition.

The gambling methods are not only quite exciting, but also easy to understand, even people who are not very familiar with gambling can watch it with relish.

For example, the ordinary rock-paper-scissors made "Gambling Apocalypse" come up with so many strange tricks, and the audience can't want to like it or not.

In terms of duration, the two seasons of anime have a total of 52 episodes, and the average length of three episodes is one live-action episode, and then streamline the plot and skip the unimportant details that have been forgotten, about 16 episodes can be filmed, and it can be broadcast for eight weeks.

If you are still filming and broadcasting as before, it is best to go to Xiongxi Satellite TV on the 30th of this month

, just enough to fill two months of summer time.

Although the time is a little tight, Xu Song still plans to try, pick up the pen next to him, and first summarize the characters, because he has to run to this list to find actors.

Main cast: Kaiji Ito--Ippei (protagonist), Yukio Tonegawa--Zhao Xiong, Endo--Ang Lee, Furuhata--Furuta, Funai --Kuta, Ando--Sun Yuan......

Secondary Cast: ......

Then list the main props, especially the "Ship of Hope", which the inland city of Xiongxi Province does not have, and you have to send a photographer to the coastal city to contact a huge cruise ship to take pictures of the exterior.

After the things that needed to be prepared were written, Xu Song began to write the plot: the first episode "Sailing".

At the beginning, the plot had to be streamlined, and the scene where the protagonist played cards with his friends was removed, because the original character design could not be used. He came to Tokyo for three years, and he didn't do anything, but he only knew about drinking and gambling. And when I lost money, I was not happy, so I went outside and poked the tires of the luxury car with a knife to vent.

If this is really the case, the TV series is set, which audience can bring in such a role? It's not a pastime to read comics.

Only one setting is used, that is, the protagonist is a kind and soft-hearted person who guarantees a loan shark for his friend, but the friend runs away and the loan shark falls on his head. The tire he poked was also the car of the black-hearted loan shark.

After writing two episodes, regardless of the off-duty time, Xu Song sent the script to the film and television department.

The editor in charge of script review was about to leave work when he saw the computer system prompt and could have ignored it, but it showed that the sender was Xu Song, so he hurriedly sat down again and quickly opened the document, only to be stuck at a glance

went.

"Brother He, it's time to get off work."

"No, wait."

"What are you doing? Hey, you're actually reading the script? Whose. ”

"Xu Song's."

"Good guy, no wonder you don't want to get off work anymore, what's the story?"

"Gambling."

"Is that interesting?"

Many editors who didn't leave work suddenly became interested.

After all, gambling is human nature, and it does not just refer to gambling money.
