Screenwriter Zhang's first script was a super Mary Sue idol drama.
Yuan Fenghui asked Wen Ying to participate in revising the script. Wen Ying was ruthless and only retained the exciting parts of the original Mary Sue. She changed the background setting of the script, from a fake Mary Sue floating in the air to a refreshing drama that could be put into reality.
When it comes to writing Mary Sue, it's not just the idol dramas in Taiwan that are great. In the past few years, online literature has gradually prospered and created many best-selling IPs. The heroine is Mary Sue, the hero is miserable, strong and cool, and the rhythm of getting slapped in the face while constantly counterattacking hits the readers' pleasure points everywhere... Wen Ying doesn't need to copy the plots of other books, she just needs to master this rhythm of pleasure points. She can't write a script with profound meaning now, so can't she write a refreshing drama?
The script written by Wen Ying herself can also be considered a thrilling drama, but the thrilling part is different from that of screenwriter Zhang.
If screenwriter Zhang had cast actors from Taiwan and the crew were all from Taiwan, filming would naturally take place there. Since the actress is currently unavailable, Li Mengjiao will be filming on her own. School is about to start, so filming in Chengdu would be ideal.
In order to make it easier for Li Mengjiao to shoot nearby and to make sure she doesn't stand out among a group of actors from Taiwan, Wen Ying changed the script to a story about a wealthy businessman from Taiwan returning to the mainland to look for his relatives.
Because of some conspiracy, the heroine played by Li Mengjiao was mistaken for the lost granddaughter of a wealthy businessman, which triggered a series of exciting and hilarious stories. The whole drama focuses on the growth of the heroine, several plot reversals, and the collision of different concepts between Taiwan and the mainland. The theme is sublimated at the end of the drama: the heroine passed the many tests of the wealthy businessman and was identified as the heir. However, under the temptation of huge wealth, she chose to confess actively, refused to leave with her wealthy grandfather, and stayed in her original ordinary family.
Considering Li Mengjiao's age and student status, the love line of the whole drama is vague. It is better to say that the hero and the heroine have a love scene than to say that they have a rivalry. The hero was adopted by a wealthy businessman. For his own interests, he did not want the rich businessman to find his granddaughter and affect his inheritance rights. Many of the tests faced by the heroine were set by the hero.
This is what makes this drama different from other idol dramas.
In general idol dramas, the heroine encounters troubles and waits for the male protagonist, the CEO, to rescue her and slap the villain in the face at the same time.
In this drama, eighty percent of the troubles encountered by the heroine are obstacles set by the hero.
The heroine didn't need to be a hero to save the beauty, she even saved the hero in return... In the confrontation between them, the hero changed his original intention, and he and the heroine became friends from enemies. In the end, he took the initiative to confess and helped the rich businessman find the whereabouts of his real granddaughter.
The story ends here. When the male protagonist accompanied his wealthy grandfather back to Taiwan, he told the wealthy grandfather on the plane that the mainland's economy was developing very fast and he wanted to transfer part of his business to the mainland. The wealthy businessman asked him if it was for the female protagonist. The male protagonist did not give a direct answer, leaving an imaginative ending.
As for the heroine, she seemed to have given up her huge wealth and chose to tell the truth and stay in her own world, but under the constant catalysis of the hero, the heroine has grown a lot. Although she is still the daughter of an ordinary family, her future is destined to be extraordinary.
The plot and character setting are both biased towards Li Mengjiao.
The male protagonist is different from the traditional domineering president. He is between a teenager and an adult. He pays attention to interests, but also has the true temperament of a young man... There are many shining points to be explored in this young domineering president. The actor performed well and he is also very popular.
But the male actor needs to fit in with the role, understand the role, and the plot of bullying the heroine. If he performs well, it will make the audience nervous and expectant, but if he performs poorly, it will make the audience dislike him.
The Taiwanese actor that Yuan Fenghui originally found is now very popular and has a full schedule. His agent is unwilling to let the actor play such a controversial role.
The agent only wants his artists to make quick money and thinks this thankless role is a waste of time!
The agent has no confidence in the acting skills of his artists, let alone asking for an additional 2 million yuan before they are willing to act. Once he shows such timidity in front of Yuan Fenghui, Yuan Fenghui will never hire that male star again. In a good TV series, the male and female protagonists complement each other. Although the script favors Li Mengjiao, how can the drama be popular if the male lead does not perform well?
With such a big change, the drama may not be as popular as Wen Ying remembered. After all, the revised script is far from the original version written by screenwriter Zhang. Wen Ying hopes for high ratings after it is broadcast, but there is no way to guarantee high ratings. It is rare that screenwriter Zhang is willing to agree to let her make such a big change!
Now that things have come to this, of course I can no longer hide it from Li Mengjiao.
Li Mengjiao not only knew the existence of "Tianjiao Film and Television", but also knew that Yuan Fenghui resigned for her.
Wen Ying told Li Mengjiao bluntly: "This is your future, but it's not just your future."
In front, there is the money invested by Li Zhentao, Wang Jun and Qin Xianming, and in the back, there is Yuan Fenghui's career at stake. Li Mengjiao can no longer treat this matter with the same attitude as before. If she wants to live up to the efforts of so many people, she must show an attitude of fighting with all her strength!
Li Mengjiao may not spend all her time in the entertainment industry, but whether it is singing or filming, once she decides to do it, she will give it 100%.
"So, it's not a guest appearance..."
"no!"
"Teacher Yuan has wanted to sign me for a long time?"
"right!"
Li Mengjiao murmured, "I told you guys you were hiding something from me, and it turns out to be true. Do you think I'm stupid? If Teacher Yuan only wanted to produce an album for me, why would he be so nice to me? I guessed it a long time ago!"
The work Yuan Fenghui did for Li Mengjiao had long gone beyond the scope of producing an album.
Although Li Mengjiao didn't say it, she was always uneasy in her heart. Now that she had said it out loud, she felt relieved.
