Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 4 Script
In this world, although there is Sakurajima, there is naturally no such thing as the Meiji Restoration in history.

Therefore, the historical knowledge in the original plot of Rurouni Kenshin naturally cannot be applied.

But this kind of thing is not a problem at all, at least in the reminiscence chapter, the main perspectives are Kenshin Himura and Tomoe Yukishiro. There are plenty of turbulent backgrounds in Sakurajima's history, and Su Yan just found a suitable template to fit it.

The play begins with the robbers chasing a group of escaped prostitutes.

The prostitutes tried their best to protect the young boy Xin Tai before they died.

"You are still young. Unlike us, you can't choose your own future path, so you can't die now. Live on, try your best to live and choose your own life. Live for the dead."

The prostitute said these words to the young boy when she knew she was going to die.

Shinozaki Ikumi was slightly touched.

A kind-hearted woman becomes a prostitute in such a world and is slaughtered by thieves. But before she knows that she is going to die, she is not afraid but wants to protect another young life.

Although this woman has no name in the script, her ending is also a sword piercing her throat, which is a pure supporting role.

Ikumi Shinozaki continued to turn the page.

A strong and cold man appeared.

One man slaughtered the entire group of thieves and saved the young boy, Shinta.

He watches this hell of a massacre on earth, and the character’s inner monologue emerges.

"It's a common thing. Being slaughtered by thieves is hell, and being sold to a brothel is also hell."

"It's too common. It's like this now and it will be like this in the future."

"Even if you swing your sword, sometimes you can't save even one person."

The man lowered his head and left. But the next day, he came to this place again.

It took a day and a night for a little boy named Xin Tai.

All the people have been buried in the ground and given wooden tombstones.

Not just the prostitutes who protected her, but also the thieves who wanted to kill him.

Shinozaki Ikumi was shocked.

Because of Kenshin's kindness and strength.

A man named Hiko Seijuro changed Shinta's name to Kenshin, accepted him as his apprentice, and taught him the Hiten Yuken-ryu swordsmanship.

The story of Rurouni Kenshin begins here.

Shinozaki Ikumi continued reading. A man named Kiyosato came to Kyoto to make a name for himself and then returned to his hometown to marry his fiancée.

But at the best time of life.
He meets the fifteen-year-old Kenshin, who has become an assassin in order to save the world and overthrow the corrupt rulers.

When Kenshin was killing his assassination target, he was attacked by the target's bodyguard, a man named Kiyosato.

There was a scratch on the face.
At this point, the script comes to Kenshin's memory of the argument with his master Hiko Seijuro about going down the mountain.

"If you want to change the world, you have to be used by power. I didn't teach you the Flying Sword Style for this." Hiko Seijuro said sternly.

"That's why we must use this power even more to protect the people from the sufferings of the times." Kenshin refused to give in.

Classic lines from all of Rurouni Kenshin's works appear.

Hiko Seijuro said.

"The sword is a murderous weapon, and swordsmanship is a murderous art! No matter how beautiful the words are, they cannot change this fact."

"Killing to protect people, killing to keep people alive, this is the truth of swordsmanship. I have killed hundreds of villains, but they are also human beings, trying to survive in this era."

"When you walk out of this mountain, you will only encounter a never-ending fight driven by the irreconcilable justice of all parties."

Shinozaki Ikumi's eyes widened.

good.
What a handsome character.

How did you come up with the lines?
Shinozaki Ikumi's emotions were already in turmoil.

Obviously, it is just boring text, without even any information about the character of Hiko Seijuro, but from between the lines of his dialogues, the charm of the character is radiating wildly.

Just saying that there are starving people everywhere is not enough to make the audience feel the cruelty of the times.

But through the conversation between the master and the disciple, the struggles of the two in this troubled times are reflected.

Hiko Seijuro tried hard, but found that he could not change anything.

His sword can only kill or save the people in front of him, but it cannot save the world in front of him!
I don’t want my apprentice to be dragged into this hell on earth and realize this truth only after being torn to pieces.

The memories in the script continue to advance.

"In spring, watch the night cherry blossoms; in summer, look at the stars; in autumn, admire the full moon; in winter, enjoy the light snow."

"With these, the wine will naturally be delicious."

"If you still feel like it's not working, it just means you're sick!"

There are many famous quotes by Bi Gu Qingjuro.

However, Kenshin remained unshaken.

He and his apprentice Kenshin went their separate ways because of their different philosophies.

Shinozaki Ikumi was already a little stunned.

Can this script be so artistic and philosophical?
The writing is beautiful and the truth is sincere.

The memories in the script end.
It has been a long time since the assassination attempt that night.

The protagonist Kenshin's cheek was cut but the wound never healed. It would always bleed suddenly.

A superstitious companion told Kenshin that he was probably wounded by a sword that carried resentment, and that the wound would not heal unless the resentment was eliminated.

The plot of the first episode of Rurouni Kenshin takes us to that tavern, that rainy night.

Tomoe Yukishiro, the fiancée of the murdered man named Kiyosato, also came to Kyoto where Kenshin was.

There are always endless people to assassinate.

The heart is becoming more and more numb.

The script does not describe the appearance of the enemy that Kenshin encountered on that rainy night, nor does it describe the battle scene.

Those are decided by the martial arts instructor when we arrive on the set for filming.

But on that rainy night, Kenshin cut the enemy in half.

The splattered blood splashed onto the white umbrella held by Xueshiro Tomoe, onto her white clothes, and onto her cold and indifferent face without a trace of fear.

Face the enemy who murdered her fiancé Kiyosato.

The heroine Tomoe Yukishiro has her only line in the first episode.

[You can really bring about a bloody storm! ]

When Shinozaki Ikumi saw this, her heart couldn't help but ache.

The script contains too few details.

There is also no god-level background music from the original OVA animation.

But Shinozaki Ikumi, who has a strong ability of empathy, has already simulated this scene in her mind.

Blood, girl, executioner, rainy night, hatred.
What kind of story will happen between these two people who meet each other driven by the cruel world?
After putting down the script for the first episode, Shinozaki Ikumi closed her eyes, but her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

Soon, she opened the script for the second episode.

for a long time
The plot of the second episode is interrupted when Tomoe Yukishiro and Kenshin leave Kyoto and go to the countryside to pretend to be a couple. Tomoe Yukishiro follows Kenshin, tightly gripping the dagger at his waist.

Hinting at her betrayal.

There were only two episodes of the script, but Shinozaki Ikumi, who usually reads scripts very quickly, took more than an hour to read.

I was reluctant to let go of any details and thought about them over and over again, and I was completely drawn into that bloody era.

It was only then that she saw the information included in the script.

The work Rurouni Kenshin is expected to have four episodes, which will be webcast on Sakura Online.

"Four words?" Shinozaki Ikumi whispered.

In fact, Xiaguo audiences don't like this kind of super short web drama.

What people generally like are TV series that have a dozen episodes in a quarter.

But the shortcoming of the work's length is not worth mentioning compared to the absolute quality of the script.

She wasn't sure whether such a story would be popular with the audience if it were made into a live-action series.

It's just that she likes it very much.

"If it has four episodes, what kind of story will be presented in the last two episodes? Will Tomoe Yukishiro give up the revenge for her fiancé and be with Kenshin?"

Shinozaki Ikumi put down the script, looked up at the ceiling and thought.

For scripts like this produced by the station's screenwriting department, if the station's producers want to start filming, they have to contact the other party's screenwriter and then apply for filming funds from the station.

To put it bluntly, if there is a really good script, the producer has to discuss it with the screenwriter himself before taking the next step.

"So what should we do next?" Shinozaki Ikumi said to herself.

For a short drama, the filming budget shouldn’t be too high.

Moreover, based on her past performance, it would be difficult for the station to allocate too much funds to the project she proposed.

If her mother hadn’t been a veteran employee of the station’s production department, she would still have some connections after retirement.

If she proposes any new project as a producer again, it will most likely be rejected by the top management.

But even so, if the next project that Shinozaki Ikumi proposes loses money again, she won't have to wait for the results of the company's elimination assessment at the end of the year.

In fact, you can look for your next job a few months in advance.

It is unlikely that other TV stations would recruit a producer with three consecutive failures in his career.

Basically say goodbye to this industry.

Ikumi Shinozaki looked at the information about the screenwriter of Rurouni Kenshin.

"Well, your name is Su Yan, right?"

　Please feel free to offer any comments you have, and please try to read the new book as much as possible. Thank you!

　　Also, which book friend voted for me for the monthly ticket?

　　The page shows that there are 32 votes, but there is no information in the background. I thought it was a reward from the Qidian robot because it saw that I signed the contract today.

　　But after thinking about it, it’s not too much to give 32 cards!

　　Anyway, thank you all for your recommendation votes and monthly support.
