"You're really not scared by yourself, how about I accompany you?"

Wei Yang asked reluctantly through the locked door. Zhao Liying snorted and replied.

"Don't worry, I'm brave."

"I'm timid. It's too dark. I don't dare to sleep alone."

Wei Yang's shamelessness made Zhao Liying laugh, but he still didn't open the door: "Then just turn on the light."

“…”

Seeing that there was nothing that could be done, Wei Yang sighed regretfully and clapped his hands in remorse.

It was also his fault that he had been single for too long. He was a young man with a lot of masculine energy. He was holding a fair and tender young girl in his arms. Although he planned to proceed step by step, it was inevitable that his mind would wander as they were so close to each other.

As a result, the enemy was alerted and Zhao Liying became wary.

Although Wei Yang was able to gain some advantage by half-heartedly giving in, he slipped back into the room at the critical moment, locked the door and refused to let anyone in.

Wei Yang couldn't just break in, so he took a shower helplessly and went back to his room to rest.

Zhao Liying heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that there was no noise outside. She was happy that Wei Yang respected and cared about her, but she also felt a little disappointed.

Oh, woman...

The next morning, when Zhao Liying put on light makeup and walked out of the bedroom, Wei Yang had already gotten up and was fiddling with the computer in the living room. When he saw that she was awake, he pointed to the kitchen.

"I bought some breakfast, just heat it up in the microwave."

Zhao Liying was not hungry. She sat next to him and looked at the computer. She thought Wei Yang was writing a script or a novel, but unexpectedly he was playing games.

"What kind of game is this?"

"The Chinese Paladin 3 that I told you about last time."

Wei Yang controlled the character to fight monsters and explained: "I play the game to get familiar with the story background and enrich the character."

"Is it fun?"

"It's OK."

Wei Yang is not very fond of games, and with his vision honed by countless masterpieces in later generations, it is difficult to say that he is obsessed with or loves this game. Instead, he is full of complaints.

It’s not about the game itself, but about the changes in the original game and the film and television scripts.

Before this, he had only watched the TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" series and had never played the game. He had heard about the controversy in his previous life, but he didn't care.

It was not until he played the game this time that he understood why the fans were angry.

Compared with the game plot, the TV series version is indeed seriously changed...

However, as a professional screenwriter, Wei Yang also understands that game plots and film and television plots are two different things.

The setting of the game's story background is often grand and scattered, creating a relatively complete game world, and then letting the protagonist go on adventures.

But TV dramas are about stories and characters, and the length is limited, so there must be a concentrated main line and the plot must be relatively compressed. It is normal to change the script.

If Wei Yang were in charge, he would make the same decision, and some characters would inevitably have to make sacrifices.

But now the key point is that the screenwriter "sacrificed" him.

Before this, Wei Yang only knew that there were problems with the design of the character of Demon Lord Zunlou, and he even fought with Tang Ren Cai Yinong for the right to participate in the makeup and creation.

But after playing the game, I realized that the character setting of Demon Lord Chonglou in the play is also a bit of a pitfall.

In the game, Demon Lord Chonglou's combat power can be said to be the ceiling. Basically, except for a few legendary characters, he is the only one who can fight. In his eyes, the big villain Evil Sword Immortal in the TV series is just a second-rate character.

As a result, the TV series was changed to show that the Demon Lord was captured by the Evil Sword Immortal, his horns were plucked out, and he was hung on a pillar to feed the crows. The Demon Lord’s fighting power was so reduced that even his mother couldn’t recognize him.

On the contrary, the second male lead, Xu Changqing, didn't have many roles in the game and was a bit of a scumbag, but he turned into a likable guy in the drama.

Isn’t this bullying honest people?

Wei Yang immediately changed his position from a professional screenwriter. As a "hardcore fan" of the Legend of Sword and Fairy game, he would not allow the screenwriter to insult the original work.

You can force the Demon Lord to go offline, or seal him off because of something the Evil Sword Immortal does, but it's too much to step on the Demon Lord to let the Evil Sword Immortal show off.

Wei Yang sent an email to Tangren Cai Yinong, explaining his thoughts on the play and Demon Lord Chonglou. He wanted to talk to the screenwriter and revise the script.

…

This was actually a rather euphemistic way of saying it. In her opinion, Wei Yang was just a rookie and it was a bit of a stretch to call him "somewhat famous".

Collaborating with Tangren and getting the male lead in the new drama is more about taking advantage of the situation and getting something for nothing. It does not mean that he can be on an equal footing with Tangren.

The IP of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is very popular. Even though Demon Lord Chonglou is the third male lead, he can be of great help to Wei Yang at this stage.

Wei Yang’s new drama has not been released yet, so he is now picking and choosing the script of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".

Zhao Liying was afraid that Tangren would think Wei Yang was arrogant and dislike him.

"Don't worry, I didn't say anything. I can't even stop us from discussing the script."

Wei Yang knew that there was a new drama waiting to happen, and Cai Yinong had not given up on signing him to Tangren. He must have a high tolerance for such an apparently reasonable request.

Although changing the script is a sensitive matter, he did not add any scenes or change other people's roles, he just changed the ending of the Demon Lord.

The changes are not big, and with the original game as an excuse, it can be considered as a spontaneous fix for the bugs in the script. Cai Yinong is not that narrow-minded.

“But what if the screenwriter disagrees?”

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

After Wei Yang's explanation, Zhao Liying felt that Cai Yinong might not care about these things, but the screenwriter would probably be unhappy. Hearing this, Wei Yang showed a self-deprecating smile.

"The screenwriter's say is not that important. So what if I'm dissatisfied?"

Wei Yang knows too well how embarrassing the status of screenwriters is in the domestic film and television industry.

That's why he hopes to talk to the screenwriter of "Chinese Paladin 3" and convince the other party in person, hoping to reach an agreement so that he won't be accused of bullying his peers.

"In the domestic film and television industry, the voice of screenwriters, actors, producers, and even directors is limited, and the boss who really has the final say is the financial sponsor."

It was clearly about fixing a bug, but one had to weigh the pros and cons and be very careful for fear of offending others. Wei Yang was very emotional, but it also aroused his ambition.

If you want to be truly in charge, without being constrained by constraints and have the final say, you must seize every opportunity to climb up.

Therefore, Wei Yang will definitely appear in the drama "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".

Even though the character of Demon Lord Chonglou is not as likable and popular as Jingtian and Xu Changqing, the benefits of this drama are not just the popularity brought by ratings.

What Wei Yang cares more about is the subsequent exposure, CP interaction and the long-tail effect that has lasted for more than a decade.

The interaction and love-hate relationship between the main creators created the popular "The Three Beauties of Chinese Paladin" and "Hu Huo CP", and also guaranteed their popularity and exposure for the next ten years.

Don't underestimate this, it's an opportunity that countless artists can only encounter.

Just the drama of "The Three Beauties of Chinese Paladin" breaking up and getting back together, which is constantly on the hot searches and is often revisited, has supported countless marketing accounts.

Whenever Da Mimi and Tang Yan are dead, they will come out to eat the old capital, and they will always eat one.

Not to mention that many fans of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" always retain certain feelings and filters for them, and never change no matter what happens. There are only a few dramas in the entire entertainment industry that have this treatment.

Of course, the original Demon Lord Chonglou didn’t benefit from all of the above, but just because the original actor couldn’t do it doesn’t mean Wei Yang can’t do it.

He knows better than anyone the future popularity of these guys.

Once he is tied into a group with them, Wei Yang won't have to worry about exposure in the next few years. This is much easier than working so hard to film and write scripts.

Being in the entertainment industry, you can’t become famous just by focusing on filming. If you want to be a star, you have to understand marketing and hype to gain exposure.

Wei Yang originally wanted to hit on a popular young actor, but now he can sneak into "Chinese Paladin 3", which saves him a lot of effort.

Although the effect may be a little slow, it is large in quantity and long lasting.

It's a pity that we can only get one Demon Lord Chonglou. If one of Hu or Huo was replaced, the effect would be better.

But this is enough for Wei Yang to plan. With the popularity and subsequent exposure of "Chinese Paladin 3", it is enough for him to reap the dividends for a few years in the short term and build up his fortune.

The undisguised ambition in Wei Yang's eyes made Zhao Liying's heart flutter.

She likes Wei Yang's handsomeness and talent, is devoted to his attentiveness and thoughtfulness, and is also happy with his occasional tyranny and teasing, but her deep desire to escape from the bottom of society makes her even more obsessed with Wei Yang's ambition to move up.

Wei Yang keenly noticed something strange about Zhao Liying. The girl was breathing heavily, but now her eyes were shining when she looked at him.

With an idea in his mind, Wei Yang pushed the computer back and kissed her directly.

"No, the curtains... um... um..."
