Chapter 181181 [Those who clicked in to read the revised content but didn’t like it, leave a red comment

Although the production team of “The Guardians” has bought the film rights of “The Guardians”, the adaptation of the film rights and the TV series are completely different.

The TV series can still be copied according to the plot of the original novel, but the film version must be simplified and simplified, and the story content must be complete, with constant climaxes and ups and downs, and the rhythm must be fast.

The main theme of the movie "The King's Guard" is different from that of "White Snake". "White Snake" can be made into a funny and inspirational movie, but the main theme of "The King's Guard" is a serious drama. However, if a movie wants to be a hit, a serious drama and martial arts will not work. The reference objects are "Invincible" and "New Dragon Inn".

These two movies set super high box office records in those years and are still classics.

When they saw the article "The King's Guard", they almost immediately thought of "New Dragon Inn", especially the fighting scenes in "The King's Guard", which is very consistent with the current market's pursuit and demand for martial arts movies.

The reason why the movie of "The King's Guard" has only started to be approved and the script has been polished now is because the TV version of "The King's Guard" can refer to the original novel to write the script, but the movie version can only intercept one of the stories and polish this part of the story to tell a complete story.

This is equivalent to re-creating a brand new story based on the original novel. The original novel only gave them ready-made characters and ideas, and everything else had to be re-created, and it had to be good and amazing.

Because they are aiming to create a series of movies.

When they bought the movie rights of "The King's Guards", they referred to "The King's Avatar" and knew that the TV station in Province Z, which bought the TV rights of this book, made a fortune. They made two TV series with the TV rights of the book.

They studied several works of the current releases of the TV series "The King's Avatar". They knew that the story of "The King's Avatar" was long and they could shoot it repeatedly, just like the box office hit of "Young and Dangerous" last year, and then "Young and Dangerous: Way of the Dragon" and "Young and Dangerous: The Hand of Heaven" came out soon. They can also hold on to this IP and continue to shoot, riding on the popularity of the first "Young and Dangerous".

Similarly, if the first part of "The King's Guard" is well made, the second and third parts will not have to worry about the box office, and old audiences will naturally go to the cinema to contribute to the box office of the second and third parts.

Therefore, the script of the first part of "The King's Guard" is very important, which requires the entire writing team of "The King's Guard", as well as the director, producer and others to discuss repeatedly.

This is not something Jiang Gui can interfere with or participate in. Every screenwriter in the writing team is a senior screenwriter in the industry, and every one of them is her teacher and senior. The crew was willing to spend so much money to invite her to be a screenwriting consultant. In addition to the outline, framework and tone she set for the "White Snake" script, the main reason why they were willing to spend so much money to invite her to be a screenwriting consultant was because they felt that Gui Meng herself was destined to be rich, and they wanted to make her a mascot. If she could give some advice, that would be fine. If not, then they could just take advantage of her popularity and write in the title of the movie, "Script Consultant: Gui Meng". Are they afraid that Gui Meng's readers won't go to the cinema to support their favorite author?

Everyone in the film team knew the real identity of Meng. After all, Meng herself had to sign the contract, and her age and appearance were confirmed immediately. Last year, the sensational congratulations to Meng on her admission to Peking University also let them know that Meng was a freshman at Peking University.

So, even though they knew that Meng was a popular author with nearly 10 million sales, when they found out that she was still a freshman, they couldn't help but look down on her. This kind of contempt was not to look down on her learning ability, but to think that her life experience was too shallow. Movies are complicated. Writing a script is completely different from writing a novel. The dialogue and camera movements in the middle are not as easy as writing a novel.

Jiang Xi saw that they had signed a contract with her as a script consultant and the money was transferred to her without hesitation, so she was no longer needed. Naturally, she was relieved and continued with her work and life.

However, after the TV series crew finished writing the first draft of the TV series script, they brought it to Jiang Xi to hear her opinion and see if the script was suitable.

This was also clearly written in the original contract.

The person who came to sign the copyright of the TV series with Xi Meng was the producer sister, so the producer sister had met Xi Meng, but the three people in the writing team and the director had never met Xi Meng.

Even though they already knew that Ximeng was a student at Peking University, and the producer had told them that Ximeng was very beautiful, a young lady from the screenwriter team couldn't help but get excited when she saw Ximeng. She took out a pile of books and said to Jiang Ximeng with a red face: "Ximeng, Ximeng, I am your loyal reader. I have read all your books. I brought them here today. Can you sign them for me?"

The chief editor and director of the screenwriter team were simply embarrassed.

Jiang Xi said yes of course, and after asking the screenwriter's name, she still wrote "TO" to sign, which excited the young lady's eyes.

After she finished signing, the young male screenwriter who had been standing silently beside the young lady also picked up a pile of books, pushed his glasses and said, "Xingmeng, I am also your loyal reader. The books you write are all very good."

If they had not read all of Xinmeng's books, they would not have been able to adapt "The King's Guard". Not only the two of them, but also the producer sister, director, and chief screenwriter have read Xinmeng's works, especially the producer and director, who have read every book of Xinmeng. Of course, they look at not only the story, but also the market.

Obviously, the market response to Xinmeng's works is very good.

When Xinmeng was signing for the two screenwriter readers, the director was also looking at Xinmeng.

Although he had seen the director of White Snake saying in the promotion of White Snake that he had invited the original author of the novel, Xi Meng, to play an important role in the film, he just laughed it off at the time, thinking that Mr. Yu said that on purpose for the promotion of the film.

Who knew that after seeing Xi Meng in person, he understood that Mr. Yu might have really wanted to let the original author play the role of White Snake.

Yes, the director could tell at a glance that the role that Director Yu wanted Xi Meng to audition for was really Xi Meng's temperament and appearance, which really fit the image of White Snake in the movie.

Not to mention Director Yu, even he, when he saw Xi Meng in person, couldn't help but want Xi Meng to play an important role, even if it was just a small role like her brother.

The looks of this brother and sister are too suitable for the big screen. Looking at this fair face, he can imagine how outstanding it would be if it appeared on the big screen of a movie theater.

Especially the aloof and cold temperament of the Meng Meng himself, and the sharpness revealed between his eyebrows when he is not smiling.

Isn't this the real Jinyiwei Commander?

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to find the smart, wise, calm and powerful commander described in the original novel among his peers!

What's more, unlike her brother's soft and feminine face, Meng's face, with her clear jawline, high and slightly humpback nose, cold eyebrows, and the cold temperament that occasionally appears when she is not talking, is completely a handsome man in disguise. With the makeup effect of the makeup artist, if she participates in the role of the conductor, she may really convince the audience that the heroine has been disguised as a man for more than ten or twenty years, and no one suspects that she is a woman.

They agreed to meet in a coffee shop outside the University of Beijing. The coffee shop has an elegant environment and is very suitable for discussing work.

As soon as they sat down, the director couldn't wait to ask Jiang Xi: "Old Yu wanted you to play the heroine of "White Snake" before, right? Why didn't you play it?"

Among the few people, they all knew each other, and Jiang Xi was the only one who was a stranger. However, she was not at all nervous in front of so many strangers, and even had an aura of being at home. She smiled and said, "Director Yu was just being polite, but Director Zhang took it seriously."

The middle-aged man called Director Zhang immediately said, "Then are you willing to try out for the role of conductor?" Director Zhang originally wanted to let Xi Meng audition first, but for some reason, he immediately slammed the table and said, "If you are willing to come, this role is yours!"

The three screenwriters from the screenwriting troupe immediately looked up at Director Zhang.

The screenwriter looked at Jiang Meng again, thinking that if the conductor had a face like this, she could do it! She felt that she was full of inspiration, and she felt that the conductor in the book suddenly had a face!

She had already created a hundred episodes in her mind: "Everyone Loves the Conductor"!

Who can not love such a conductor!

The producer sister was calmer, smiling at Meng Meng, and said to Director Zhang: "Meng Meng is a student at Jingda University, and she may not have time to act."

You know, she is studying at Jingda University. She doesn't study hard at school, skips classes and goes to act with your crew? How much money can you give her? This is a popular writer who is about to enter the tens of millions of sales level, and has two hit TV series and movies, "The Great Song" and "White Snake". Does he need money?

But Director Zhang thinks that Meng can really go for an audition. There is a ready-made candidate who fits the conductor's temperament and appearance right in front of him. If he chooses another leading actor, he is really afraid that he will not be able to find someone he likes.

Those with such looks do not have such temperament. Those with such temperament are afraid that they are too old and do not match the age of the heroine in the book. Those with the right age are afraid that they cannot play the heroine's strength and wisdom.

It just so happens that the author of the original novel himself has all these temperaments.

Director Zhang sincerely invited Jiang Xi. Just then, the coffee girl came. Jiang Xi took a cup of coffee, stirred it with a silver spoon, and shook his head with a smile: "Forget it. I don't plan to act in my future plans, so I won't mix it."

Director Zhang really felt the regret in Director Yu's tone.

The producer sister was warm-hearted and said very well: "Oh, maybe Teacher Xi Meng will change her mind by then? Today we are here to discuss the script. The first draft of the script is out. We came here to show it to Teacher Xi Meng to see if there is anything we want to say." After all,

Xi Meng is the author of the original novel. No one knows his work better than the original novel author.

The editor-in-chief immediately handed Jiang Xi the first draft of the script they had completed.

Writing a script is completely different from writing a novel. Novels are filled with a lot of descriptions of background, characters, environment, etc., but in a script, almost all of them are just one sentence, and the actors need to recite the entire text.

Reading a script takes time.

While Jiang Xi was reading the script carefully, the people sitting around him were all quietly looking at Xi Meng.

The ID card that Xing Meng used to sign the contract with them said she was 19 years old, but she looked no older than 16 or 17 years old. The baby fat on her face had not completely faded, and her skin was cold and pale. When she lowered her eyebrows and looked at the script, her long eyelashes, as slender as crow feathers, cast a shadow under her eyelids.

The director himself is a photography enthusiast and usually keeps his camera in his hand when he goes out.

At this moment, sitting by the glass window, the early spring sunshine fell on Xing Meng who was looking down at the script seriously. The picture was so beautiful that the director couldn't help but take out his camera and took a few photos of Xing Meng.

It was so easy to shoot and so beautiful!

The atmosphere was full!

When Jiang Xi heard the click of the camera, she didn't move her posture, but raised her head and eyebrows and looked towards the camera. This look was like an unstoppable sword, piercing Director Zhang's heart, making his heart skip a beat, but his hands didn't stop at all, and snapped two pictures.

This is the commander he is looking for!

The girl is not very old, but why are her eyes so sharp and so imposing!

What kind of family and what kind of environment can cultivate a girl with such eyes!

Director Zhang is curious about Xi Meng.

By the way, if she doesn't want to play the leading role, she can also play a female commander of the Jinyiwei. Aren't there many equally outstanding supporting actresses in the book? Each character is very distinctive. Oh, and that female centurion who is as powerful as a cold-blooded killer but only obeys the commander's orders!

In the story, the commander has more than one loyal subordinate, but a whole group of them. Which female subordinate under her is not loyal to the commander? It's just that the audience nowadays likes to watch a few men fighting for a woman, or a few women fighting for a man, so in the script, the roles of the outstanding female subordinates were directly cut to only two, and the rest became background characters, such as the female guards who fearlessly killed the surrounding villains to protect the commander, and then reported the situation to the commander who was sitting in the open air and calmly.

The scriptwriting team added a bunch of fancy love lines to the commander who originally had no love lines.

Jiang Xi was really embarrassed to see that the sober and career-minded heroine he wrote was changed by the TV version of "The King's Guard" to a love-minded one, and she also liked the Emperor's grandson. For her beloved Emperor's grandson, she formed the Emperor's Guard, fought for the Emperor's grandson, and quelled the chaos in the rivers and lakes for him.

I have to say that the scriptwriter is very talented, and under his pen, this plot is reasonable and logical.

Seeing that Jiang Xi had finished reading the script, the editor asked Ximeng: "How is it?"

The young lady in charge of the love line also looked at Jiang Xi with bright eyes: "Teacher Ximeng, do you think there is anything else in the script that needs to be revised?"

Have you seen the love line I wrote? Is it wonderful?

Who knows, these readers who like to read the love line are really looking for sugar in the glass shards in the original novel. They are so obsessed with CPs. After a while, I feel that the emperor's grandson is my love! Aoaoao!

After a while, I felt that this loyal subordinate who suffered a family change but was saved by the commander-in-chief, who was cold and ruthless to the outside world but loyal to the commander and was willing to die for the commander, was too cool!

When reading the original novel, the screenwriter liked him the most. When writing the love line, she wrote all the sweetness that she couldn't get in the original novel into the script. The more she wrote, the more she felt it, and the sweeter it became. Unconsciously, she turned an ordinary subordinate in the original novel into the commander's official match.

Of course, it was definitely not okay in the beginning. It was at the end that the commander finally accepted a loyal subordinate who was waiting silently.

Jiang Xi:...What the hell is this?

However, the screenwriter in charge of the love line is much better at writing love lines than her. A love line that came out of nothing was actually written by her to be so sweet that even she thought it was not impossible.

However, there was a setting that was sternly denied by Jiang Xi.

"The heroine is being trained as the heiress to a marquisate. Do you think it's possible for an heiress to be such a love-brained person who only has eyes for men and love?"

At that time, there was no such term as 'love-brain', but the director and screenwriters who came to confirm the first draft with Jiang Xi all understood this term inexplicably.

Jiang Xi said: "With the heroine's intelligence and situation, she has friendship and use for the Crown Prince, so there is absolutely no possibility of love, let alone such an outrageous thing as having a crush on the Crown Prince. It completely destroys her character."

The screenwriter was stunned for a moment. When she was writing this plot, all she thought about was the CP fans of the commander and the Crown Prince in the online forums. She wanted to make the plot more reasonable, but she didn't consider the problem of the heroine's character.

The chief scriptwriter was actually very satisfied with the adaptation of the script. He frowned and said, "Teacher Meng, we know that your works are very popular and have good sales, but TV series are different from novels. We have to consider what the audience in front of the TV want to watch."

Jiang Meng said, "I'm just talking about a logical problem. This kind of adaptation is logically unsound. You know that my works have high sales and my readership is huge. They are not only readers, but also audiences in the future. If they knew that their favorite career-oriented heroine was adapted into a 24K love-minded idiot, how do you think they would react?"

As a professional scriptwriter, A senior editor who holds a high position in the industry and has produced hit TV series was a little unhappy to be confronted by such a young girl, and said with a sullen face: "Then how do you say we should change it? No one will watch it if it's filmed like in your article!"

Jiang Xi also knows that the audience in front of the TV is different from the readers of novels. Those who read novels are mainly young people and people who already have decent and leisurely jobs, while the audience is mainly housewives and cooks between the ages of a few to fifty or sixty. When they are at home, they turn on the TV and love to watch all kinds of melodramatic dramas, especially the ones about you love me, I love him, and he loves her, which they never get tired of.

Jiang Xi said, "Can't the Crown Prince have a crush on the heroine, but thinks she's a man and can't express his love for you, so he tries other men? His handsome guards and other handsome companions are all scared. We can add some funny plots here to make the tone of the TV series less serious. I believe the audience will like it more. The heroine will not be ruined and the plot will be more interesting. What do you think?" The

original stern-faced editor-in-chief suddenly showed an interested look on his face and said, "Go on."

The female screenwriter also took out a small notebook and looked at Jiang Xi with bright eyes, like a good student listening to the teacher in class.

Even the other male screenwriter in charge of the Jianghu plot took out a pen and paper and began to record.

They are all veterans in the industry, and they know very well what kind of plot attracts the audience. It's just that they have written too many scripts, and their brains have become rigid. They only think about writing routines. Now that Ximeng has reminded them, they feel that this plot is very different from many routine plots nowadays.

Especially as Ximeng said, adding some light-hearted plots with some jokes, the audience does not like to watch serious plots with deep hatred and deep hatred, and they prefer to watch some lighter atmosphere. The original novel of "The King's Guard" is originally a work that focuses on serious drama. If they write it like this in the script, it will seem boring.

Jiang Xi continued, "Although the novel I wrote, "The Commander of the Imperial Guard," is set in a fictional dynasty, we need to know which dynasty the Imperial Guard belonged to in real history. It was a military and political intelligence agency of the Ming Dynasty. Even in a fictional martial arts world, the status of women in the novel is much higher than that of women in the real Ming Dynasty. But think about it, how low was the status of women in the real Ming Dynasty? It was a dynasty that restored the system of burying the emperor alive with his wife. When the emperor died, all the concubines had to be buried alive with him. This system also spread from the royal family to the people, leading to the custom of the wife being buried alive with her husband. In such a bad social background, the heroine is already the heiress of a marquisate. How stupid is she to expose her daughter? And why would she have emotional entanglements with four men?"

Jiang Xi said: "From the heroine's perspective, just like what I wrote in the story, the second female lead accidentally discovered that the heroine is a woman, and the heroine's first reaction when she found out was to kill her!"

Jiang Gui said with murderous intent, "She was not killed in the story, and it also gave the second female lead a reasonable identity background arrangement. The heroine needs a wife." She said, "If the plot did not require it, this supporting actress would not have appeared, and the heroine would never have such a mistake."

The young lady who heard it nodded repeatedly, "Oh, yes, yes, yes!"

The editor-in-chief was able to become the editor-in-chief of a crew in this era, so he must be talented. He himself graduated from the Chinese Department. Although he has not studied history books as carefully as history professionals, he knows the general history and nodded when he heard it.

He asked her, "Then how do you think this love line should be written?"

In the script written by the screenwriter team, Huang Taisun is the true love, the white moonlight, whose whole family was killed by the Jianghu people, and was rescued by the heroine and brought back to be cultivated. The loyal subordinate who has a blood feud is the official match of the heroine. In the script of the screenwriters, the plot that the original female supporting role accidentally discovered that the heroine is a woman was arranged to the loyal subordinate, which is still very bloody. The heroine was injured, and he treated her and accidentally untied her bra...

Jiang Xi almost vomited blood when he saw it.

My commander of the Jinyiwei, the martial arts value is superb, the best in the world, the best in the world!

There are also many guards protecting her, each of whom is a master who is fed with golden fingers and can fight one against a hundred. The security level is no less than that of the emperor. You can even arrange a plot where the heroine is beaten. Although it is to save the loyal subordinates, it is not reasonable!

Jiang Xi pointed to this paragraph in the script and said: "The heroine is the biggest boss in the whole story. How could she be injured? This needs to be changed."

The screenwriter nodded, and then said puzzledly: "This is required by the plot. If it is not written like this, the emotional line will not be easy to develop?"

The chief scriptwriter and the male scriptwriter who are responsible for the overall court and martial arts framework and grasp the general direction of the script also nodded and looked at Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi said: "The heroine is a killer like Dongfang Bubai. She will not easily enter the underworld. Once she enters, it must be a big scene, the kind of killing indiscriminately. Her opponents are responsible for the killing, and she is responsible for the killing!"

It was the first time for several screenwriters to hear such a description, including the producer and director, they all couldn't help but laugh.

Among the martial arts works that have been released so far, except for "Legend of the White-Haired Witch", which is a martial arts drama with a female protagonist as the absolute protagonist, there is no other martial arts drama with a female protagonist as the absolute protagonist in the market. Even in "The Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and other works with important roles, the women in them have their own charm, but they still exist as foils for the male protagonists. No matter how outstanding a woman is, she can't help but live and die for love, and love is worse than death.

The main character is a supporting role.

Jiang Xi said, "Let's do a reverse routine. Can't the male lead, male second, male third, and male fourth be impressed by the female lead's grace and elegance, live for her, die for her, and live a life worse than death for her?"

The screenwriter nodded her head and said, "Okay, okay,

okay!" She loves to watch such a "everyone loves the conductor" plot. It's so cool!

The editor-in-chief thought about it and nodded in agreement, saying, "This is indeed in line with the people in the martial arts world competing for the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world..."

Jiang Xi interrupted him and looked at him with dead fish eyes: "There is no most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, there is only the world's number one conductor."

The editor-in-chief was a middle-aged man. In fact, he couldn't understand that kind of love plot. On the contrary, he could completely understand and accept what Jiang Xi said. On the other hand,
