I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 405 After the Ceremony (23)

"I started reading online novels in 07. At that time, the novels of Jin Yong and Gu Long could no longer satisfy me. I remember the first one I read was "Zhu Xian"... Then I read "Only I Am the Immortal", "God's Tomb", "Inch of Light"..."

Shen Liang took the microphone and talked about his relationship with "Celebrating Yu Nian"...

"When I read books, I looked for them from the rankings...Joy of Life was in the top ten of the monthly ticket list in 08, and I started to follow it at that time. After that, I read The Guest, Ever Night, and Fighter of the Destiny... Fighter of the Destiny was so bad that I didn't even finish it..."

"Among the books written by Mao Ni, my favorite is The Guest, and Joy of Life is only second...

However, I must say that if Joy of Life is adapted, it will definitely be a hit! "

“Of course, the premise is to respect the original work. Many screenwriters and producers don’t understand online literature at all. In fact, hundreds of thousands or even millions of online novels are published on the market every year. The online novels that can become popular and become classic IPs win by their content.

The online literature circle is different from our circle. It does not talk about so-called traffic, or the so-called appeal of writers. For example, Tang Jia Shao San, such a great writer, can’t sell his works now!
If your content is good, readers will buy it. If your content is bad, even the most brilliant writer will fail.

I have never understood the practice of many people buying an IP and then rewriting the story to use as the skeleton of the script. It is pure buying the casket and returning the pearl!

I don’t mean to belittle the screenwriter, but since the original work has been proven by the market to be able to impress this group of audiences, there is really no need to rewrite a completely unrelated story…”

“When I heard that Joy of Life was being adapted and that the screenwriter was Mr. Wang Juan… I couldn’t sit still.

Because I particularly like Teacher Wang Juan!

I have watched "Legend of Dance and Music", "The Storm in Mu Mansion" and "The Heroes of Nanqiao Mechanics".

My intuition tells me that Mr. Wang Juan will definitely respect the original novel of “Celebrating Yu Nian” and develop it based on the original novel…

This is the truth. If Joy of Life had asked Yu Zheng or someone else to be the screenwriter, I would not have asked to act in it!"

"After receiving the news, I went straight to Mr. Cao... On the one hand, I sincerely feel that looking at the entire circle, no one of the same age knows more about Joy of Life than me; on the other hand, I also want to be famous!"

"I later chatted with Director Sun Hao, and he told me that there were many people competing for the role of Fan Xian, but no one was as willing to take risks as I was and directly signed for three seasons!"

“…Finally, I want to say one thing, Director, the first season will be aired soon, and the second season can be arranged…”

The host quickly asked Sun Hao: "Is it ready? Director?"

Sun Hao smiled and said, "It depends on the screenwriter..."

Well, let’s pass the blame to Wang Juan!
But Wang Juan is indeed very busy...

Especially after the broadcast of "Celebrating Yu Nian", a bunch of big male lead IPs came to the door...

In fact, IPs with strong male protagonists are naturally not suitable for female perspectives. You see, the unified framework characteristics of the original works with strong male protagonists are: expanding the business empire, men admire him, believe in him and become his sworn brothers, and women adore him, love him and become his loyal lovers.

Commonly known as, kill monsters, level up, and pick up girls.

However, the female market naturally doesn't like this.

Therefore, other love lines in "Joy of Life" were deleted as much as possible, retaining the satisfying feeling of the male market that "women all love the male protagonist", but in order to cater to the preferences of the female market, the male protagonist was made to be as loyal as possible.

The adaptation of the female characters in “Joy of Life”... I can only say it’s okay, passable.

There are a few characters who are both good and evil missing.

In the early years, screenwriter Chen Manling's female characters were more popular, such as Bai Feifei in "Wulin Waishi" and Yin Tianxue in "Shuiyuedongtian"...

But in recent years, every female protagonist, whether stupid or not, is labeled as lively, cute, simple and kind, and you don’t see other types of female characters.

Therefore, it is particularly rare to highlight the female characters created by Wang Juan!
Moreover, from the perspective of broadcasting, the values ​​of Wang Juan’s works are absolutely positive, non-controversial, and even easy to be broadcast on CCTV.

It is relatively easy to pass the review and the probability of not being broadcast is low.

After "Joy of Life", he was overwhelmed by orders, mainly because of this reason.

Then… maybe it was too hyped, so “Joy of Life 2” created a bunch of inexplicable scenes…

The four words "respect the original work" were thrown out of the window!
...After the ceremony, Shen Liang saw Tian Xiwei and walked over to say hello...

"What have you been busy with lately?"

"…I've acted in several dramas. Where's my brother?"

"Help a friend vent his anger and create a superstar..."

“…Wu Keke?”

“Hmm…” Shen Liang nodded: “I originally wanted to vent my anger. By the way, isn’t “Joy of Life” going to be broadcast soon? I needed a sacrifice… I thought of sending him in, but he got scared too quickly and didn’t dare to fight back… Now I can’t even make a move!”

Guo Qilin, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but interrupt: "…What does flag sacrifice mean?"

Shen Liang made up a story with a serious face: "It means literally that in ancient times, whenever there was a war, the leader of the army would kill a certain living creature before going out to fight, and offer the life of the living creature to the gods in order to obtain the gods' blessing and thus win a great victory... If our new drama is going to be broadcast in ancient times, it would be equivalent to a large army going out to fight, and there would definitely be a flag-sacrificing segment... Then let's get a top star to sacrifice the flag, and guarantee that the new drama will be broadcast smoothly!"

Tian Xiwei asked curiously: "Is it useful?"

“Why is it useless? When The Wandering Earth was released, Li was imprisoned… and then The Wandering Earth grossed over 50 billion…”

"Really?"

Shen Liang still nodded seriously: "There is no harm in giving it a try... It is better to believe it than not to believe it!"

"what's the topic?"

Li Qin also came over...

Tian Xiwei replied: "Sacrifice the flag!"

"Sacrifice the flag? What flag?"

"Brother Liang said that in order to ensure that Joy of Life can go smoothly after it is released, he will use a top star as a sacrifice!"

Li Qin looked at Shen Liang, who was chatting with screenwriter Wang Juan...

"Your brother Liang must be talking nonsense. There is no such thing!"

"I don't know if he's joking or not, but," Tian Xiwei lowered her voice, "I heard that Ke Ke has been controlled!"

“…How do you know?”

Tian Xiwei continued in a low voice: "When I first came in... they were chatting, and I overheard it!"

"That's Wu Keke..."

"It seems like we have found evidence of a crime!"

"…Do you think your brother Liang knows about this?"

"I don't know, how about... you go ask..."

"Ahem," Li Qin cleared her throat and leaned over: "Brother Liang, Teacher Wang...what are you talking about?"

"Nothing... Sister Qin..."

"Well, Mr. Wang, can I take up Brother Liang's business for a while?"

"Of course," Wang Juan smiled, turned around and was about to leave, then he remembered something and said to Shen Liang, "I'm leaving first, please think about what I just said!"

Shen Liang made an OK gesture, and Li Qin asked, "What are you considering?"

"Nothing... Is there something wrong?"
