Chapter 182 182

After telling the crew of the TV series "The King's Guard" her ideas for adaptation, the screenwriters went back early to hold a seminar and start polishing the second version of the script, leaving the producer sister and Director Zhang still in the coffee shop.

Director Zhang was still persuading Jiang Xi to audition for the female lead, but Jiang Xi had no interest in acting. Instead, she thought of Jiang Bai, who had worked hard alone in her previous life, and said to Director Zhang with a smile, "Speaking of filming, I wonder if the other actors for "The King's Guard" have been finalized?"

When Director Zhang heard her words, he knew that she probably had someone to recommend, and said, "We have contacted Teacher Xi Meng's brother Jiang Bai and invited him to our audition."

Before he contacted Jiang Bai, he did not know that Jiang Bai was Xi Meng's brother. It was only when the director of "White Snake" knew that he wanted to find Jiang Bai for an audition and knew that Director Zhang had bought the copyright of "The King's Guard" from Xi Meng that he told Director Zhang that Jiang Bai was Xi Meng's brother that he learned about this relationship.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Jiang Meng clapped her hands and smiled, "I was talking about my second brother. Thank you Director Zhang for giving my second brother a chance to audition!"

Jiang Wu toasted Director Zhang with coffee instead of wine.

Director Zhang knew that she was being polite and said, "Of course, of course, we invited Teacher Jiang to audition."

It was just that he might have only played a small role like in the movie "White Snake". With Jiang Wu's relationship and Jiang Bo's current fame, he had to try the second and third male roles. The reason why he didn't mention the fourth male role was because in the current script, the fourth male role was the big boss of the evil cult. Jiang Bo's appearance was okay for playing the son of God, but he really lacked some domineering and arrogant evil charm when playing the leader of the evil cult. Instead, the role of a loyal subordinate was more in line with Jiang Bo's temperament.

However, he has not met Jiang Bai yet, and everything is still unknown. Maybe Jiang Bai himself has a very spiritual acting talent, and he can not only play the detached little monk, but also the evil and crazy villain of the demon sect?

Speaking of the evil and crazy demon sect leader, Jiang Xi thought of a person. That face is really born with evil and crazy, and it is simply born for the role of the demon sect leader. That face and temperament are very consistent with the character of the demon sect leader in the text.

Calculating the time, that person should be two years older than himself.

Although Jiang Xi worked in the system in her previous life, she also grew up from a normal girl to a director. When she was a girl, the things she liked to watch were no different from those of ordinary girls. Naturally, she had heard of the name of the Four Beauties of the Cape.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xi couldn't help but say to the director and the producer sister: "Director Zhang, Sister Lan, speaking of casting, I remember that I met a boy in the Performance Department of Shanghai Theatre Academy. In terms of appearance, he was no worse than my second brother. That face could be called an Oriental David. His appearance and temperament are very consistent with the character of the Demon Cult Leader. If you don't have anyone for the role of the Demon Cult Leader yet, why not let him have an audition."

She picked up the coffee and took a sip, then said with a smile: "After all, the audience loves to watch handsome men and beautiful women."

In her previous life, Jiang's mother said a very simple sentence. Aunt Jiang jokingly asked Jiang's mother why she liked watching "Happy Little Swallow" so much.

Jiang Ma said, "Who doesn't like to watch pretty girls and boys? Who wants to watch those old-fashioned ones?"

Jiang Xi suddenly realized it. Yes, for ordinary viewers like Jiang Ma in front of the TV, who doesn't like to watch handsome men and beautiful women?

So for commercial idol dramas, the script is the first and the actors are the second. If Jiang Xi is allowed to cast the show, he must first choose various handsome men and beautiful women.

The producer sister and Director Zhang thought Jiang Wu knew this person, and asked for the contact information of the boy Jiang Wu recommended. Jiang Wu smiled and spread his hands and said, "I only know that he is a student of the Performance Department of Shanghai Theater Academy, and his name is Yan Yichang. As for the rest, I don't know the student, and he doesn't know me. You can contact the teachers of Shanghai Theater Academy directly. They may know more than I do."

Seeing that Director Zhang and the producer sister were looking at her with surprise and smiles, Jiang Wu smiled and said, "I just thought of There is such a handsome guy whose temperament and appearance are just right for the role of the leader of the Demon Cult. As for whether to invite him or not, it is up to you to decide. As the original author of "The King's Guard", the better you make the drama, the more beneficial it will be to me. If the TV series "The King's Guard" becomes popular, the copyright fee of my next book will also increase. "

Only then did they believe that Jiang Xi really didn't know the young man named Yan Yichang, and he just thought he was suitable and made a casual suggestion.

Director Zhang nodded and said, "I'll consider it."

However, producer Huang Lan showed an interested look on his face, leaned forward slightly, and asked Jiang Xi curiously, "Is Teacher Xi Meng planning her next work? I wonder what the subject matter is? Is it martial arts?"

Xi Meng is so popular now that if she publishes a book, there will be many people coming to her door with money to buy it. Didn't they buy the TV drama rights of "The King's Woman" after it had only been serialized for two months?

Jiang Xi smiled and shook her head: "It's still in the process of conception. I won't reveal it for now. You will know when it comes out."

Huang Lan didn't care when she didn't say anything, but smiled and said: "I am looking forward to working with Teacher Xi Meng next time."

Jiang Xi had something else to do, and seeing that there was nothing else to do, she didn't stay any longer and returned to school. Producer Huang Lan and Director Zhang also left.

After Jiang Xi went back, she sent an email to editor Wang Yong who was far away in Guangzhou, telling him about her plan for the next work.

Before, Xi Meng told Wang Yong that "The Imperial Guard" was about to be finished, and Wang Yong was so scared that she screamed and asked her not to finish it and continue writing. He thought that for the next article, Xi Meng might want to change the subject matter like she wanted to write about officialdom before. Unexpectedly, when he received the email, it was true.

However, he had reported this matter to Director Li and Director Bao when Jiang Meng called him before. When Jiang Meng said last year that he wanted to write about modern officialdom, they had held a meeting to discuss the matter. In the past six months, in order to deal with this matter, they have opened up several new sections in the magazine. For example, they opened a column called "Jianghu Children" for female authors who like to write romance and martial arts and have delicate emotional writing. Later, due to the influence of "White Snake", there were many fairy-tale works submitted for a period of time, so they opened a fantasy fairy-tale column.

In the past six months, Wuxia magazine is no longer a pure martial arts magazine that only serializes martial arts novels. Instead, it has gradually transformed itself by taking advantage of Jiang Xi's desire to return the subject matter.

Of course, its main theme remains unchanged, and it is still mainly martial arts, but some small columns have been opened in the back and middle, and there is even a "joke" area, where some jokes are submitted in each issue.

When they heard that Xi Meng's new work was an interstellar mecha work, Director Li Ang and Director Bao were simply full of questions.

Born in the 1950s, before the year 2000, the domestic technological level could hardly support their interstellar fantasies, and they could hardly imagine what interstellar mechas were. Even the Transformers, which became a global hit later on, had not yet appeared on the big screen.

Because it was impossible to imagine, I naturally couldn't empathize with her, and I didn't know what she was going to write.

However, due to his confidence in Xi Meng's previous three works, Director Li Ang thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you say that she was writing the second part of "The Imperial Guards" while writing this "The Years I Driving a Mech in the Interstellar World"? When she has written 50,000 words, send it to us first to see, or serialize it first to see the market reaction."

The several columns they have opened now, not only the romantic line's "Children of Jianghu" or the fantasy fairy line's "The Fairy Sword and Fairy", are more or less related to "martial arts". If you force it, you can also say it's "martial arts", but interstellar science fiction sounds like it really has nothing to do with "martial arts". He is not afraid that Xi Meng's works are not well written, he is only afraid that Xi Meng's works will fail in the "Martial Arts" series.

Maybe if she switched to a science fiction magazine, the effect would be much better than in "Wu Xia", but Wu Xia, which has already reaped the benefits of cute works, would not be willing to let this big fish go? What if she never writes martial arts works again after she leaves? She has written so many works, she must be tired of writing martial arts works, so she wants to return to something else.

Director Li Ang immediately made the decision and said, "In the next issue's submission column, put a science fiction column in the submission column to warm up the readers!"

In this way, when readers see that science fiction has been added to the submission column, they will have a psychological expectation of what science fiction column will be opened in "Wuxia" magazine after a few issues, and it will not be so difficult to accept. It's like boiling a frog in warm water. It doesn't scald you to death all at once, but cooks you slowly bit by bit.

After talking to Wang Yong about the type of writing for the next book, Jiang Xi sat alone in front of the computer and conceived the outline of the new work.

The heroine is still a time traveler.

Yes, it's still a heroine.

Although Ximeng has not officially responded yet, more and more people on the Internet now suspect that Ximeng is a girl. The main reason is that netizens have dug out some old comments on the Internet. For example, as early as two years ago, a netizen came out to reveal that Ximeng is actually a high school student with a very high appearance value.

But this message not only did not stir up the slightest splash on the Internet, but was also sprayed by several netizens.

However, combined with the promotion of "Congratulations to Ximeng for being admitted to Peking University" released by the official website of "Wuxia" last year, this revelation that had long been forgotten in the vast sea of ​​​​the Internet was still dug out by netizens, and then netizens found that at least two points of this revelation comment have been proven to be true.

One is that Ximeng is a genius (she was admitted to Peking University); the other is that Ximeng is very good-looking (proven by the director of "White Snake" who wanted Ximeng to play an important role).

Now there is only one thing left that is not confirmed, that is, Ximeng is a girl.

But the first two have been confirmed to be true, and the last point, because Ximeng's three works so far are all from the perspective of the heroine, does not seem so difficult to accept.

A large number of netizens have already tacitly accepted that Ximeng is a girl, but there are also old readers who have been following "The Great Song" from the beginning, and they still insist that Ximeng is a man.

Jiang Xi does not care about the speculations of netizens on the Internet. She is making an outline and character design for the new article.

The heroine is the descendant of an ancient martial arts family on the Blue Water Planet. The younger generation has won eight consecutive world martial arts championships. She accidentally traveled to a remote planet where the technology level has entered the interstellar era and became an orphan of a martyr. The heroine found that her martial arts seemed to be eliminated in the interstellar era, because no matter how strong the flesh/body is, it cannot defeat lasers.

Various laser swords, laser guns, laser cannons, and laser weapons have even replaced the heroine's thermal weapons and nuclear weapons in the Blue Water Planet era.

But martial arts is something she has persisted in all her life since she was a child. It has been engraved in her bones. Even though it seems that learning martial arts is useless in this era, she still insists on practicing martial arts every day.

Because she is the orphan of a martyr, she was arranged to study in a very famous school. This school is sponsored by a mecha company on this planet that designs and manufactures mechas. However, this mecha company has been researching a new way to control mechas in recent years, in addition to producing the original manual operating system - the brain wave sensor system, a research that wants to achieve human-machine integration through the sensor system of the human brain and the whole body nerves.

If this research is successful, then the warriors who operate the mecha will no longer use manual control keyboards and shaking levers, but directly enter the cockpit. The mecha itself becomes a part of your body. You are the mecha, and the mecha is your body.

This technology was actually invented many years ago. The only difficulty is that this mecha control mode no longer requires the hand speed of the mecha warrior, but mental power. The higher the mental power, the more precise and flexible the mecha control.

In the interstellar, mental power is divided into several levels.

These are not mentioned for the time being. The main point is that after the heroine tested her mental power in the new school, she was assigned to the junior mecha class. The mecha class is divided into combat mecha class, design mecha class, maintenance mecha class, etc.

It was here that the heroine met her lifelong partner and friend, a genius mecha designer who was called the fallen because the mecha he designed sounded powerful, but no one could drive it.

But this mecha that no one else can drive was successfully driven by the heroine, and she drove it smoothly, as if she were using her arm. This not only surprised and excited the genius mecha designer who was called a fallen genius, but also excited the heroine to use her martial arts talent in the mecha battle.

The genius mecha designer modified the data again and again, modifying the various data of the mecha to match the heroine better, and won the championship in the school mecha competition.

In short, it is an interstellar sci-fi upgrade work.

The mecha competition is divided into school competition, district competition, regional competition, planet competition, and finally the alliance competition. The interstellar people of countless planets will watch in real time.

The competition is divided into individual battles and team battles, so there are more characters. It is not limited to the description of the heroine and her partner, but a group portrait. In the course of the competition, there are countless powerful mecha warriors and powerful teams. Since it is a team, of course there is a 'brain' in the team, that is, the commander.

A person who can learn martial arts to the point of winning eight consecutive world championships and basically being invincible is definitely not a stupid person. In fact, the heroine is not only extremely capable in individual combat, but she can also take care of the role of the "brain" in the team. Even if the commander of the team is killed by the opponent first, the opponent will think that a team without a "brain" is just a pile of loose sand no matter how powerful it is. The opponent will know that you are wrong.

Of course, this is the content of the first volume.

In the second volume, of course, they won the championship of the Alliance Mecha Competition and entered the Federation Military Academy to study. They came from a distant planet, but they defeated one powerful regiment after another in the Alliance Competition. After entering the Federation Military Academy, they naturally attracted attention. However, it was after studying that they realized how big the gap was between them and these proud sons of heaven who had received elite education since childhood.

Then they were beaten by society, depressed, and encouraged by the self-confident heroine who was like a little sun. After experiencing one event after another, they integrated into the school and became a part of the military academy. Then, with the first grade in the school at graduation, they joined the army with her friends. As a newly graduated soldier, all the glory returned to zero.

A new map and a new chapter begin.

Just by writing the outline, Jiang Xi felt that she could write 3 million words for this article!

Because it not only involves competition upgrades, but also what Jiang Xi is best at, the layout of the court.

Of course, the article is definitely not about the court, but the game and confrontation between the alliance and the entire interstellar forces.

These things, in fact, are the same, and for Jiang Xi, writing this is actually the easiest, and it is easy to drive. The most difficult part is to describe various future interstellar technologies.

Jiang Xi decided to add a lot of personal stuff, such as the struggle between the two major forces of the Blue Star Alliance and the Federation, the sanctions on the core technology of the high-tech enterprises of her alliance through some game struggles between countries, and how her partner bought second-hand mechas, bypassed patents, broke through technology, and designed the latest mechas.

In fact, it is alluding to the future chip incident.

She wrote these just to take precautions against the sanctions crisis caused by some technological deficiencies faced by our country and enterprises in the future.

Ordinary people may not think deeply about these, but smart people who are really in it will definitely think of themselves.

She didn't want to write too clearly. She is so popular now. If smart people in the United States see it, will they also take precautions in advance?

But Jiang Xi thinks that this possibility is not great, because many technologies have not even been invented by foreigners, let alone associated with themselves.

She also wants to emphasize in the article the importance of applying for patents and attaching importance to patent layout.

In the 1990s, many countries had already begun to carry out patent layout, while our country was still in the initial stage. Many technologies were monopolized, and even many invented technologies did not apply for patents, which led to the inability to use them in the future and being "choked" by others in patents.

Writing this, Jiang Xi's mood is actually a bit heavy. The reason why she entered the stock market in this year of the stock market crash was almost like gambling, investing all her wealth in it, waiting for the arrival of the stock market boom in 1999, and also for a technology route war at the beginning of the century.

In fact, Jiang Qi is somewhat powerless. Chip production is really a high-end industrial chain. Just look at the shareholders and suppliers. They are all the world's top technology companies and material suppliers, providing all the top accessories. This is not something that can be achieved with money. It also requires various talents and top technology.

Her layout in the stock market may not make any splash in the technology war at the beginning of the century, and it may even be completely in vain. If

they don't want to be sanctioned, they have to improve the entire industrial chain. This difficulty is even more hellish than hell.

She is a small butterfly, delusionally wanting to quietly get a share of the pie in such a huge war. This difficulty is no less than the hellish difficulty mentioned above.

Individual power is too weak, and high-tech is not so easy to break through. Jiang Wu was not a scientific researcher in her previous life, and she knew nothing about many technologies.

She had no way to do it technically, so she could only make plans from other aspects.

She was not good at business, and high-tech has always been a bottomless pit, where the winner takes all. If the technology stagnates or lags behind, it will be like the technology war in two years, and the loser will not even have the opportunity to compete.

She didn't even know whether the money she earned in two years would be enough to make a small splash in this war, but no matter what, she worked hard for it.

Thinking of this, she continued to write the outline.

Until the evening, when Song Peifeng came back from National Tsing Hua University, Jiang Xi was still thinking about how to maximize the benefits.

Even though she didn't show it, Song Peifeng was still sensitive to the contemplation between her brows, thinking that she had gone out to talk with the "King of Guards" crew during the day, but thinking of her personality, he didn't think it was that bad, so he took her hand and asked her: "What's wrong, did something happen?"

Jiang Xi smiled and shook her head, her brows bright.

In fact, she already had some ideas in her mind.

After dinner, the two took a walk on the playground of the campus, and the breeze blew her hair in front of her forehead.

As she walked, she couldn't help but look at him softly, and told him what kind of sanctions the country might face in the future, and what she wanted to do to help.

After listening to her, Song Peifeng was stunned for a moment, looking at her serious eyes.

Most students of their age are still worried about their studies, work, relationships, and even trivial things around them. However, this little girl of sixteen or seventeen years old is seriously thinking about how to break through the technological blockade and improve our country's entire industrial chain of high-tech, which is a national strategic layout.
