He Yue felt much more relaxed after hearing this. "I've been working under Director Lin since his first drama. In our company, screenwriters usually write one drama and then take a break, so it just so happened that this drama, 'The Murderer,' was my turn."
Host Miko was slightly surprised, "Writing one and then taking a break? So Director Lin arranged a break. No wonder you didn't participate in the second 'Love Under the Moonlight.' I believe this also answers other movie fans' questions about why the screenwriter was changed. Why didn't Director Lin press his advantage and let you continue writing sweet romance dramas?"
He Yue thought for a moment and replied, "Actually, the idea for the drama 'Love Under the Moonlight' was largely Director Lin's idea. If she hadn't given me a lot of outlines and ideas, I believe it would have been difficult for me to complete such a work."
Miko pressed further, "Did Director Lin also provide guidance on the outline for 'The Murderer'?"
The three nodded in unison, "The script for this drama was basically written according to Director Lin's ideas. We can be considered Director Lin's ghostwriters."
"You three are too modest. I believe the success of a work depends on the efforts of everyone involved. I'm sure everyone is curious about what Director Lin's initial outline was like."
After the three looked at each other, Zhang Erdai spoke first, "When Director Lin first put forward the outline and suggestions, the three of us thought he was joking, and even thought that this drama would definitely be criticized badly."
Wang Li then added, "Seriously, I've directed two short web series before, but they both basically flopped. Then, I suggested to Director Lin that suspense dramas are difficult to make, and Director Lin immediately made one. Before filming started, I said the murderer was too obvious, and some viewers wouldn't like it. But Director Lin's first requirement was that the murderer must be identified from the start, ideally so that the audience could know who the murderer was just by looking at them. Later, he also said that the method of the crime should be simple, ideally so that everyone could understand it. These were completely contrary to my advice. But, I have to say, Director Lin is really amazing. While other suspense dramas are still focusing on the murderer and the method of the crime, Director Lin has already started playing psychological tactics."
Zhang Erdai nodded in agreement, "Indeed, Director Lin was very patient in explaining things to us when we raised questions. Director Lin said something particularly good: we should let everyone feel the charm of suspense dramas. Suspense dramas have never been a niche genre; it's just that many people use suspense and cover-ups to keep the audience away. You can make a good suspense drama without those sophisticated techniques and the murderer's tragic childhood, or without too many forced plot twists."
Wang Li and He Yue, who were standing to the side with starry eyes, also expressed their agreement.
"Director Lin said he wanted to create a suspense drama that would be different from any other in its era!"
Even the host, Miko, was thrilled after hearing the account. "Director Lin is truly a pioneer in the industry, daring to break conventions and challenge traditional narrative frameworks. She not only strives for novelty in her scriptwriting but also incorporates diverse cultures and profound social insights, bringing audiences an unprecedented cinematic experience. Faced with a stagnant market, Director Lin persists in her artistic vision, letting her work speak for itself and leading a formidable wave of innovation. Every attempt she makes is like throwing a pebble into the vast world of film art, creating ripples that inspire those who follow to continuously explore the unknown and bravely move forward."
Let us all look forward to Director Lin's next innovative move, and how it will once again shake our souls and open a new chapter in art. See you next time!
