Huayu started by playing Lao Ai

Chapter 54: Remake of Lü Bu and Diao Chan

[It is detected that the player is reading the script related to the character card "Lü Bu". Do you want to enter the script world and immerse yourself in the role of Lü Bu? ]

Zheng Jing ignored the prompts on the player panel and started reading the script.

[On the city wall, Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo fought to the death for Diao Chan.

In order to repay Dong Zhuo's kindness, Lu Bu let Dong Zhuo stab him three times, but in the end he still killed Dong Zhuo...

After this episode, the story begins in reverse...

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Jue was about to die in battle, and the Mohist master "Xin" arrived and wanted to steal the "Taiping Yaoshu".

Zhang Jue knew he was going to die, so he played a sad song on the xun to attract young Lu Bu.

He gave the Xun to little Lu Bu and told him that the unborn Diao Chan was her destined lover.

In fact, Diao Chan is the reincarnation of Zhang Jue...】

Seeing this plot, Zheng Jing complained in his heart: "After all this time, Lu Bu and Zhang Jiao are in love. Cheng Kaige is really a gay man."

Zheng Jing decided to keep a distance from Cheng Kaige. Boys should protect themselves when they go out.

Before coming, Zheng Jing was mentally prepared for the script to be bad.

After all, Lü Bu and Diao Chan is a difficult TV series to review.

Lu Bu, who wears a nose ring and is raised like a dog, Diao Chan, the reincarnation of Zhang Jiao, and all kinds of confusing martial arts and spell settings.

Coupled with the random adaptation of historical figures, the TV series was reported and forced to be taken off the air just a few days after it was aired.

The production team deleted a lot of details and changed the names of the protagonists to Tian Ya and Die Wu before the series was re-released.

Zheng Jing went in with the mindset of reading a bad script, but after reading it, he felt that it was not as bad as he had imagined.

Some of the settings in the script are quite exciting.

If the full score is 100, Cheng Kaige's script can get points. With a little more effort, it can reach the passing level.

In Zheng Jing's opinion, the biggest problem with this script is that it is neither up nor down, neither Chinese nor Western.

Cheng Kaige has some creative ideas and wants to make bold adaptations, but his ideas are not big enough and he is hesitant. Even after the adaptation, the film is not satisfying and has to return to the cliché of love tragedy.

In addition, his adulation and yearning for Western drama are also reflected in the script.

The descriptions of gladiators, rock climbing, and various character shapes all borrow from Western elements.

Cheng Kaige also borrowed the strange makeup of Lu Bu wearing a nose ring from the worship of minotaur in some Western civilizations.

Zheng Jing handed the script to Chang Jihong and said politely, "The idea of this script is very interesting."

Hearing this, a hint of pride appeared on Cheng Kaige's face.

But Zheng Jing continued, "But the adaptation is not bold enough.

If it were a comedy, it would be too bland and not entertaining enough; if it were a drama, it would not be profound enough and would seem a bit trifling.

You want both, but end up with neither.”

Cheng Kaige was not angry when he heard Zheng Jing's comments. This was mainly because Yang Wenjun had given him warning beforehand and everyone knew that Zheng Jing liked to change the script.

Seeing Cheng Kaige didn't say anything, Zheng Jing gave an example: "For example, at the beginning of your script, Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo had a one-on-one duel in the city for Diao Chan.

This kind of plot at the beginning is too difficult for the audience to accept.

In the Three Kingdoms era, how could Dong Zhuo fight against Lu Bu in a duel, especially for a woman?

Cheng Kaige could not help but retort: "But this is an adaptation, not real history. There is no such person as Diao Chan in history."

Zheng Jing shook his head, "That's why I said you're not bold enough and your adaptation isn't creative enough.

This kind of film that is neither good nor bad is most likely to cause misunderstanding and dissatisfaction among the public, and will definitely be criticized after it is released."

Cheng Kaige frowned and asked, "Then how do you want to adapt it?"

Zheng Jing was quite surprised at Cheng Kaige's attitude.

When he shook hands just now, he deliberately extended his hand first to test Cheng Kaige's personality and attitude.

I didn't expect Cheng Kaige to be so easy to talk to. In that case, there should be hope for us to cooperate.

Before coming, Zheng Jing had thought about the adaptation direction of Lu Bu and Diao Chan.

After reading the script today, I saw Chen Hong and Zheng Jing and got inspiration.

He asked: "The show is currently on air, Director Cheng, have you watched it?

Teacher Chen Hong's Chang'e is extremely beautiful. Her performance makes the audience believe that it is reasonable for people to rush to buy Chang'e's bath water and noodles. "

Chen Hong smiled happily when she heard Zheng Jing praising her. Cheng Kaige said, "I only watched a little bit of this drama."

Zheng Jing said: "Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, her heart is filled with anxiety every night.

In fact, we can learn from the setting of Chang'e in the novel "Pig Bajie".

Chen Hong reminded: "But our drama tells the story of Lu Bu and Diao Chan."

Zheng Jing took a sip of coffee and continued, "The character of Diao Chan is originally fictional, and this is the focus of our adaptation.

What do you think of this change to the script?

Chang'e stole the elixir and although she gained immortality, she felt lonely. She regretted her decision and wanted to find Houyi's reincarnation to renew their past relationship.

Lu Bu's archery skills were extraordinary, and his shooting of the halberd at the gate was the limit of human archery.

When Chang'e accidentally saw Lu Bu's heroic feat of shooting the halberd at the gate, she thought of the scene of Houyi shooting the sun, and determined that Lu Bu was Houyi's reincarnation, so she secretly came down to the earth.

Unexpectedly, during the process of descending to the mortal world, a heavenly calamity was triggered, and time and space flowed backwards, returning to the time twenty years before the "Yuanmen Shooting the Halberd" incident.

Lu Bu became a poor young man.

Chang'e became a little girl, having lost all her divine powers and only knowing some rudimentary magic spells.

She changed her name to Diao Chan and searched everywhere for Lu Bu.

Chang'e didn't know that Zhu Ganglie, who had always been in love with her but never got her, also followed her and was reincarnated as Dong Zhuo.

Under Zhu Ganglie's manipulation, Dong Zhuo's personal combat capability and sphere of influence were even stronger than in history.

In this way, the history of the Three Kingdoms is different from the original, and the audience can understand it because time and space have gone backwards.

It also makes sense that Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo fought to the death for Diao Chan."

After hearing Zheng Jing's adaptation, Cheng Kaige fell silent and said nothing.

Chen Hong was very interested. She asked, "Is Lu Bu the reincarnation of Hou Yi?"

Zheng Jing said: "Lü Bu is not the reincarnation of Hou Yi, this is Chang'e's misunderstanding.

He was a poor boy who rose up step by step through military merit.”

Cheng Kaige said: "This won't work, the character of Lu Bu must be adapted.

According to historical records, although Lu Bu was a powerful warrior and had defeated many princes including Cao and Liu, he had a bad character and was a fickle villain.

It’s hard to be the protagonist without adaptation.”

Zheng Jing said: "Lü Bu's inconsistency is the helplessness of the lower class.

He came from a very humble background, had no political capital, and no say.

Never mind, we don’t need to discuss this in detail.

People's personalities are not static. If Diao Chan found Lu Bu, she would deliberately train him to be a great hero like Hou Yi.

Do you think Lu Bu will change?

If Lu Bu's personality changes, Diao Chan will be warned that history cannot change too much, otherwise there will be a catastrophe that will cause great devastation to the world.

But history has undergone many changes because of Zhu Ganglie's reincarnation as Dong Zhuo.

Lu Bu and Diao Chan have a mission, they want to put history back on track and avoid a world-destroying disaster.

In order to fulfill this mission, Lu Bu had to endure humiliation, become a slave of three surnames again, perform a beauty trap with Diao Chan, and defeat Dong Zhuo, the reincarnation of Zhu Bajie.

Diao Chan had to watch Lu Bu marry a wife, and she could only be a concubine.

In the process of completing their mission, the two supported and helped each other, and their feelings grew deeper and deeper.

But there is always a hidden danger.

Diao Chan didn’t know that Lu Bu was not the reincarnation of Hou Yi, and Lu Bu didn’t know that he was actually a substitute for Hou Yi…”

Zheng Jing wants to play Lu Bu and tap the potential of the character card. Naturally, he has to improve Lu Bu's personality and give this character more charm.

Lu Bu definitely needs to be adapted and changed, and it is more reasonable to use Diao Chan as an introduction.

As for his background, if Lu Bu was the reincarnation of Hou Yi, that would be too vulgar.

It is precisely because Lu Bu was not the reincarnation of Hou Yi, that he completed the mission of saving the world in a mortal body and became a hero, but he still bears the infamy and is ridiculed by the world.

This makes the story more tragic, and the characters have conflicts and tension, which can win the love of the audience.
