Chapter 030
"Are you planning to take on the job of scriptwriter?" Yan Nanfeng asked with a smile.
Chen Shuang chuckled, "My hands are still disabled, not to mention that if I were to be the screenwriter, wouldn't that be the same as redrawing the plot? It's too tiring. I might as well update two more chapters with this time."
How persistent is this author in updating news stories?
Yan Nanfeng looked at Director Zhang, "It seems I can't persuade him either."
Director Zhang had obviously let it go. He poured a glass of water for himself and Yan Nanfeng, and finally poured one for Chen Shuangman, just like pouring wine.
"I'm driving today, so I won't drink," Director Zhang picked up the water, "Chen Shuang, you must tell me the reason for creating this comic. We all have a soul to support us when we shoot a drama, and this soul can only be given to me by you, the original author."
Speaking of this, Chen Shuang feels miserable.
"I wanted to draw a bloody, cruel and passionate comic at first, but as I was drawing, I became obsessed with Yu Jiaxin's characters."
Director Zhang raised his eyelids and asked, "Who are they?"
"Mo Huailan..." Chen Shuang rubbed his chin.
"Su Xiaole?" Chen Shuang was obviously lacking in confidence.
"…With just these two characters, the film can still be made if the right actors are found. There are no other options except these two, right?"
He glanced at Chen Shuang on the side, then looked at Yan Nanfeng quietly, "Maybe, there is another one?"
"..." Director Zhang frowned, "The two characters you added are already popular. If you add another one, aren't you afraid that it will steal the protagonist's role?"
"That's true."
But who the hell knew that when inspiration comes, it will be like diabetes insipidus, unstoppable?
Looking at Chen Shuang's expression, Director Zhang knew that the author probably understood it in his heart, but was the type who would never repent. He felt tired.
The protagonist is the soul that supports a play, and in a group play like this, the requirements for the protagonist are even higher. The screening conditions are already very strict. If the few actors who can perform know that the highlight moments of their characters have to be shared with other characters...
Can I still find someone to arrange a play with me?
Yan Nanfeng listened to the conversation between the two. Seeing Director Zhang having a headache and Chen Shuang feeling guilty, he subconsciously stroked the armrest of the wheelchair with his fingers.
There are no whips here.
But there is still Mo Huailan who enjoys watching the excitement.
So when Chen Shuang moved his gaze here again with a guilty conscience, Yan Nanfeng was looking at the ceiling with a look of frustration and loneliness, with a bright sadness of 30 degrees.
Chen Shuang: Yes, yes, yes, it’s this inspiration that I can’t stop having diabetes insipidus, it’s here again!
Chen Shuang slammed the table and suddenly stood up under Director Zhang's surprised gaze, "Director Zhang, I've thought of it. I want to add a new character. I already have the picture in my mind!"
Director Zhang: No, no, no, stop thinking!
Chen Shuang, “In the ruins, the protagonist is in danger and is running for his life. The weak and pitiful beauty falls to the side of the road, gritting her teeth and looking at the monsters behind them, talking to each other, ‘You guys run, I’ll hold them back!’ Isn’t it particularly exciting? Isn’t it particularly devastating! I want to draw, let me draw! I’m leaving now!!”
Director Zhang quickly pulled Chen Shuang to his side. He felt that the author in front of him was about to go crazy with drawing comics. How could such a good kid suddenly become possessed?
"Chen Shuang, listen to me, wait a minute, listen to me!" Director Zhang covered his forehead, feeling a headache, "Why do you want to draw only men? Let's discuss adding some female characters?"
This made Chen Shuang stunned for a moment, "Yeah, why are the characters that inspire me so much inspiration always male? Am I disgusted with women? That's why I'm still single?"
Director Zhang tried to comfort Chen Shuang, "It's not that serious. With the amount of updates you make, it's hard for you to find a girlfriend."
"No, I want to make my new character a woman. I have to prove myself!"
Yan Nanfeng: ...
Today's meal was full of ups and downs. Director Zhang had something on his mind and was worried that there would be too many problems after the filming of the TV series started. For example, Chen Shuang had a new inspiration on the spur of the moment, which led to the leading cast walking out of the show.
Chen Shuang was obsessed with going back to update his new inspiration. He even sketched out the approximate appearance of the character. His speed was so fast that even Director Zhang, whose hands and feet were intact, could not compare to him.
As a result, after he finished drawing the female character's appearance, he looked at the delicate and beautiful woman in the sketchbook and suddenly felt devastated.
"What's wrong?" Director Zhang asked tiredly.
"Director Zhang, I might really be misogynistic," Chen Shuang cried, "After I drew the new character as a female, I lost my inspiration for her."
Yan Nanfeng smiled.
Director Zhang thanked God and felt that he had finally saved his precarious plot line.
Just when Chen Shuang felt like the sky was falling and the earth was splitting, Yan Nanfeng poured Director Zhang a glass of water and motioned him to drink it to calm his nerves.
"Director Zhang, if Chen Shuang is still unsure about the subsequent plot of the comic, why not split the comic into three parts for filming? This will shorten the release time and capture the winter vacation market more quickly."
Although the shooting cycle of a TV series is shorter than that of a movie, it still takes a lot of time to find a platform after shooting and review. Splitting it into three parts can not only avoid the risk of Chen Shuang interfering, but also shorten the shooting cycle and see the feedback from readers.
But there is also a problem. The main characters of the first part cannot appear in the second part due to schedule or other practical reasons. This will definitely be a fatal blow to the ratings of the second part.
Director Zhang expressed his concerns.
Little did they know that Yan Nanfeng didn't care about these difficulties. He drank the water slowly without raising his eyes and said, "Don't worry, Director Zhang, you can choose the actors. I will help you invite those who don't want to continue to star in the second part according to the contract back intact."
This person...
Director Zhang frowned, feeling a little unsure, "We can't break the law."
Yan Nanfeng smiled, "It's not illegal."
The matter was settled. Chen Shuang was so inspired today that he said he must go back and draw a highlight female character, no matter how much people persuaded him.
As a result, there were no comic updates for several days. When I saw Chen Shuang again in the hospital, the kid was seeing a psychologist.
Yan Nanfeng sat in a wheelchair, accompanying the distraught original author. He seemed puzzled, "Why do you insist on drawing female characters?"
"Because I can't draw it anymore. For the same character, when I imagine him as a man, my thoughts flow smoothly and my inspiration bursts. But when I just add a little skirt to this character, it immediately feels inappropriate to the character. Even if I force myself to draw it, the sense of disconnection is very strong. Mr. Yan, do you think I should serialize a girls' manga first to practice?"
Seeing Chen Shuang hanging his head in despair, and looking extremely depressed, Yan Nanfeng's conscience was as solid as Mount Tai.
"As an investor, I don't support you starting a new animation right now, but if you feel it is necessary, I think no one can stop you."
"Hmm." Chen Shuang grimaced, hesitating to speak. "At first, Mo Huailan and Su Xiaole suddenly appeared in my mind, which caused the plot I had originally planned to change completely. Now the protagonist Meng Shubiao has become a poor worker. Mr. Yan, I feel bitter."
"What kind of character is Meng Shubiao originally?" Yan Nanfeng asked.
"He is passionate and upright. He is the only sincere person in the world of aliens. He has a strong sense of justice and knows how to protect his companions. He is not a casual saint. Just thinking about these settings is very exciting!"
“But it’s not down to earth.”
"This is a comic, Mr. Yan. If the protagonist of a comic is down-to-earth, then it is rustic, right?"
"So your working-class protagonist is now disliked by readers?"
"Not really," Chen Shuang shook his head, "but the popularity is indeed gradually declining. I feel that Mo Huailan is going to become the new protagonist."
"Wouldn't it be nice for Boss Mo to be the new protagonist?" A clear female voice suddenly came from the side. Chen Shuang was startled. He quickly turned his head to look over and subconsciously wanted to cover his face.
"Don't cover it, I just listened for a long time, you are the Taiwanese spy Xiang, right? Why did you stop updating and appear here, are you sick?"
Hearing the worry in the girl's voice, Chen Shuang felt warm inside. He put down his hand and said a little embarrassedly, "I have tendonitis in my hand. I came to see a doctor. What about you?"
"My roommate's period is causing her stomach pain. Who knew that the gynecology department is on the same floor as the psychology department? The psychology department?" The girl suddenly reacted and looked at Chen Shuang in disbelief. "You came to see a psychiatrist because you don't want the big guy to be the protagonist?!"
Chen Shuang waved his hands repeatedly, "No, really not, I am because..."
"Um?"
"Well……"
After the female roommate came out, the two of them simply greeted Chen Shuang. They didn't disturb her too much, nor did they ask Chen Shuang about the follow-up plot. They were very polite and lovely girls.
Chen Shuang reluctantly withdrew his gaze, "Mr. Yan, look, how cute the girl is."
He turned around and found that Mr. Yan was no longer here. When did he leave? Why was he as elusive as Mr. Mo?
Yuan Lanlan and Qi Mo left the hospital. They ordered a meat and vegetable dish and two plates of rice at a nearby restaurant. Yuan Lanlan's eyes lit up. "I didn't expect to meet the original author in the hospital. Mo Mo, you don't even know that the host said he wanted to draw Mo Da Lao as the protagonist. I was so scared that I didn't dare to say anything, for fear that he would give up the idea."
Qi Mo, "It's more troublesome to know the sequel. Isn't it better to follow the update every day and keep looking forward to it every day? Just now I almost couldn't help asking my little cutie what hidden identity she has."
Yuan Lanlan understood Qi Mo's melancholy very well. Recently, their favorite characters unexpectedly became brothers, so when they watched the latest updates, they both watched them together.
"The host seems to be here to check on his brain. Although he said his hand is not working properly, if his hand is still not working properly, will he continue to stop updating?" Yuan Lanlan was worried. "Oh, it's a pity that the person who just talked to him left very quickly. If he hadn't left, maybe we could have talked to him for a while."
"Are you feeling aroused, little girl?" Qi Mo raised his eyebrow and smiled.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Yuan Lanlan shook her head quickly, "It's that person. His temperament is really special. I always feel like I have met him before."
"They both sit in wheelchairs. Are you saying he looks like Mo Huailan?"
"No one can surpass Boss Mo!"
"Then someone has to play him in the comic adaptation, right?"
"It ruins my 2D image. If a real person can't portray the charm of my boss Mo, it's better to just cut the role!"
"That's right," Qi Mo sighed, but then he thought of the photos of those young actors recommended in the forum and became optimistic again, "The director this time is Zhang Pei, and the things he shoots are still of guaranteed quality."
