I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 151, Jin Yong: This young man named Li Xuan understands Murong Fu better than I do
At this time, on this side of the Hong Kong River.

"I admit that Zhang Jizhong's Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is great, but he made a lot of changes to the original work. I don't believe that his fans are all convinced by his changes."

In fact, Li Tiansheng's face didn't look very good.

He failed to steal the chicken and ended up losing the rice. This time he really put himself in trouble.

I thought the TVB version would be unstoppable, after all, 8% of the content is faithful to the original, which is very friendly to fans of the original.
The original flavor serves the original audience, but the current version of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" has a fatal flaw in this regard.
It was this shortcoming that made Li Tiansheng feel a little relieved.
"Looking all the way, it turns out that this is the mainlander named Li Xuan. His talent is truly incredible. He has all the talents that Tony Leung, one of the five tigers of TVB and now a big movie star, is most proud of." Li Tiansheng looked at Chen Guoqiang next to him.

Old Murong Fu's mood was very complicated, a mixture of sadness and joy.

The sad thing is, it seems that, looking at it this way, I really am no match for them.

But there are also some funny parts. At least, the fact that it is faithful to the original work and authentic is a huge advantage of the TVB version.
At the beginning, Chen Guoqiang looked at the young people from the mainland with the eyes of scrutinizing the younger generation, but looking at it now, he knows that they are completely incomparable. After watching it, this younger generation completely slapped him in the face in terms of acting skills alone.

Or in other words, he simply couldn't act like a senior in front of Li Xuan. He didn't have the energy to do so and couldn't be compared with him at all.

There's no comparison, there really is no comparison. In terms of pure acting, being beaten by a gifted freak, if I have to say something to comfort me, it's probably the characterization.
At this time, Chen Guoqiang sighed.

"I always feel like I'm getting old. For a moment, it feels like the new generation has surpassed the old."

The feeling of having the sense of superiority of an old senior disappear in an instant is really uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, his Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is destined not to reach the top. The right to interpret the scripture at the top is still in our hands and we still have a great advantage." Li Tiansheng looked at the newspaper, Southern Metropolis Daily. More and more people were criticizing the modification of the ending.

It is actually taboo to change the ending of a character in an adaptation, as this is equivalent to overturning many things in the original work.

Generally, the changes are made in minor details.

Although Zhang Jizhong's script revisions are very good, the changes are so large that it is ultimately unpleasant - that's what he originally thought.

But I saw the news on another page.

When I saw the news on this page.

His first reaction
impossible.

Absolutely impossible!
The layout of the newspaper also determines the status of a person in the circle to a certain extent. For example, Zhang Guorong's suicide can occupy an entire page, while the ratings success of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" only takes up one-third of the page, which is similar to "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

Then there is another person who, even if he is not dead, can occupy an entire page, and that is Jin Yong
At this moment, he actually posted new news on the page.

Want to change the ending of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"
The new version of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" has been released!

The direction of the revision unexpectedly coincides with Zhang Jizhong's "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". In the original ending, Wang Yuyan followed Duan Yu, but in the revised ending...
"Are you sick?"

"what are you saying."

"That's not right, he is your 'cousin'." Ni Kuang looked at Jin Yong with a puzzled look on his face. According to Jin Yong's style, the cousin's ending must be tragic and sad, which is regarded as the final conclusion of Jin Yong's works.

"How dare you criticize me? I didn't even say anything to you when you insisted on changing the ending of Qiao Feng's plot." At this time, Jin Yong looked at Ni Kuang next to him. He had been the ghostwriter of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" for a period of time. He had directly written A Zi and A Zhu to death and let himself go with his outline.

Of course, there is one thing Jin Yong didn't say: Qiao Feng's ending is quite touching, and there is no particular need for modification.

"I'm just a little curious, what prompted you to change Murong Fu's ending?" Ni Kuang beside him asked puzzledly.

"It all started when I visited the set of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. At first, I thought it was just an ordinary visit, but when I got there, I realized everything was different, nothing I had imagined. I met a young man named Li Xuan, who understood the character of Murong Fu better than I did."

Know more than you?

Then, Ni Kuang listened to Jin Yong repeat these words.

"In one's life, it's difficult, if not impossible, to have a completely clear conscience. For a novelist like me, the characters I create are very complex. When I was young, I vented my anger and dissatisfaction with my cousin by forwarding it to the characters I created. This behavior is truly despicable."

Jin Yong also felt that, looking back on his life, his actions were indeed a bit pathetic. This kind of behavior was disrespectful to his own role.

Now, it’s time to pull back from the brink, right?

“People only understand this truth in their old age. After all, it is the world we have created with our passion. To respect it is actually to respect ourselves.”

Ni Kuang was slightly curious at this time and said, "I didn't expect that someone could influence such a stubborn old man like you."

Who is this young man named Li Xuan?

Did Jin Yong change the ending of "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"?

At the beginning, some people said that Zhang Jizhong's version of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" directly changed the ending of the characters, which was not acceptable and it was outweighing the main plot.

But Jin Yong directly stopped this matter by publishing an advertisement in the newspaper.

This ending was specially changed for Murong Fu, or in other words, it was a character created by Zhang Jizhong's version of Murong Fu.

In order to compensate this "cousin", he was given an ending that he finally "sought". He went crazy and insane, but finally achieved peace of mind and his ideal.

This is Murong Fu and Zhang Jizhong's version of "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

"Jin Yong specifically changed the character's ending. Oh my god, I don't think I've ever heard of anyone being so generous before."

Director Zhou Xiaogang looked at the newspaper in front of him in shock.

Zhang Jizhong next to him was also a little shocked. This assist came too timely, and
"You're waiting for me here."

Zhang Jizhong smiled bitterly and wrote a paragraph at the end of the newspaper interview - this Murong Fu was created by Li Xuan in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and the ending he was given.

At that moment, Zhang Jizhong thought that this time, he might be able to catch Jin Yong's express train and ride on his wind to soar into the sky. Unfortunately, at the moment, it seems that he is not the one who reaches the sky.

But Li Xuan
Is this considered an unexpected success?
They all wanted to ride on Jin Yong's fame, claim the right to interpret the classics, and create a classic character, but now it seems that they were all outshined by a young actor who only wanted to act.
After all the calculations, the winner is neither me nor TVB. The biggest winner is actually my "cousin".

Envy? Jealousy? Well, a little bit of everything.
However, I still feel that heroes are made by the times. It seems that the new generation at the beginning of the millennium has changed the world.

Beijing Film Academy is now ready to enter the sophomore year.

Unexpectedly, when they entered their sophomore year, Li Xuan could actually come up with a big task for them.

At this time, Zhu Yawen was looking at the newspaper and said in shock.

"If someone had said before that someone could use a role they played to get Jin Yong to change the endings of other characters, I would have scoffed at their suggestion. But our boss has accomplished something unprecedented. You're truly amazing."

"I didn't expect that this role was created by you. I thought the script was like this." Luo Jin next to him said in shock. He always thought that the script was written like this, but he didn't expect that it was Li Xuan who created the role in the script.

How can this not be shocking?

At the same time, the invitation to the Iron-Hearted Divine Marquis in "The World's Number One" was delivered to Li Xuan, almost at the same time that Jin Yong sent the message.

As expected of you, Wang Jing, you always choose the style with the most barrage.

"He actually sent me an invitation from the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis."

At this time, Li Xuan was looking at this invitation.

Villain number one is here, and the role played by Liu Songren in his previous life is in our hands.

Excessive performance, excess gains.
The male villain.

Finally, God rewards those who work hard.

"How did he get the role of Zhu Wusi? He's being made my master. I won't accept it! I absolutely won't accept it!"

At this time, Li Yapeng was shouting in the company, and his defense was somewhat broken.

Probably because he had a little grudge with Li Xuan since the time of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". After knowing that Li Xuan was not invited to the crew of "The Number One Under Heaven", he still wanted to show off at the Beijing Film Academy, but was quickly stopped. It was too disgraceful.

His immediate superior, agent Ma Jia, quickly stopped this foolish and indecent behavior.

It’s really a headache. Li Yapeng is small in all other places except that part, especially his brain.

"Are you really...just because of this? He's just the villain, right? Is it really necessary to be like this..."

"The leading villain?! When I met him last year, he was just a rubbish extra and a stunt double!"

Well, this increased speed allowed Big Bird Peng to break through his defense.
"This person is indeed a talent. Jin Yong even changed the ending of his novel for him. This has never happened before. But that doesn't mean he really has the talent to play this role."

Li Yapeng calmed down a little.
"Then why."

"Liu Songren's presence won't do you any good. His acting is too good and too overbearing. If we continue to act like this, we won't know who's the star and who's the supporting actor. In a sense, Li Xuan is a better choice than Liu Songren, because with him around, you, the leading actors, will be the real stars."

Li Yapeng still hasn't quite figured it out. Why is Li Xuan a better choice than Liu Songren?
Li Xuan is more powerful than Liu Songren? That's impossible!
Li Yapeng couldn't figure out the clue.

It hurts, I need to grow my brain
"You should be the biggest winner in the history of Jin Yong's work adaptations." Wang Jinsong looked at Li Xuan at this time, feeling as if he was in a dream. The hazy and dreamy feeling was not very real.

The biggest winner in the history of adapting Jin Yong's works.

When everyone was still wondering whether the TVB version of "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" was better or Zhang Huzi's "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" was better, suddenly a person appeared and silently defeated them all in seconds.

If nothing else, this feeling is full of drama.
Everyone wanted to take advantage of this novelist who could go down in history and soar to the sky with him, but in the end it was not TVB, not Zhang Jizhong, but Li Xuan
It made the original author admit that he didn't know as much as he did.

This is too perverted.

Moreover, Jin Yong personally admitted that it was Li Xuan who changed the script and character, and no one could take the credit from him. This is perhaps the most perverted thing.
No one can deny Li Xuan's performance in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

"Are you riding on the coattails of the biggest winner in the history of Jin Yong's adaptations?" Li Xuan said modestly, "No."

"Don't underestimate yourself. Young people who are too modest appear hypocritical."

Xu Xiaodan next to him looked at Li Xuan and sighed.

I knew from the beginning that his adaptation ability was very strong. Now I didn't expect it to be so strong. Now, isn't this referring to Yu Lixuan's adaptation of the character that even Jin Yong would be impressed by?
Unfortunately, his background and capital are too poor, so even if he has the talent for adaptation, he has nowhere to put it to use.
This is such a pity.
However, Xu Xiaodan also looked at the adapted character of Murong Fu, and frankly speaking, he was many times stronger than the previous Murong Fu.

It is very important for a character to have flesh and blood, motivation and goals. Although Murong Fu had goals and motivations in the past, at first glance they were like castles in the air. Although he looked like he was full of vigor and vitality, he was actually very empty.

The TVB version of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" was also thanks to the strong performance of actor Chen Guoqiang, otherwise this character would really not be able to be portrayed clearly.

That's because the actors are great, not because the roles are good.

"I think I don't need to piggyback on Jin Yong's fame to become the big winner."

"My roles in original works can be just as awesome!"

sorry.

I was just advising you not to underestimate yourself and to be humble.

The results are waiting here
I'm not targeting anyone, I'm talking to everyone here.

you guys
This temperament is quite similar to that of Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu.

But Li Xuan has absolutely great talent.
"You've definitely become quite famous in the industry this time. I also heard you've been offered the role of villain number one in 'Number One Under Heaven.' You should be filming in two months, right?"

"Um"

It can be said that Murong Fu’s performance played an indispensable role in his successful acquisition of the position of Tiedan Shenhou this time - of course, the newspaper presented by Jin Yong himself was the icing on the cake.

"So, you're really on fire right now. 'Number One Under Heaven' is the most anticipated martial arts project in recent years. Rumor has it that this role belongs to veteran Hong Kong actor Liu Songren. While they might not be keen on a supporting role, he's still a veteran actor after all. He's a well-known figure in Hong Kong and even played a leading role in the 1970s."

But later on, despite his superb acting skills, his ecological niche gradually dropped and he could only become a supporting actor in the end.

However, it's not Wang Jinsong's turn to sigh for him. After all, he's only been relegated from a leading actor to a supporting role, while he can only return to school to teach and educate people. He's been half-eliminated, so it's not comparable.
Li Xuan also felt that the role of Tiedan Shenhou in his previous life was really good, and it also brought his career into a second spring.

"So teachers, what you're saying is that I was forced to play this role, that I'm unworthy of the position, and that I'll suffer the consequences?"

"No, what I meant was that Wang Jing chose you as the number one villain, and not only would the others not object, they would even advocate giving you more roles," said Wang Jinsong.

what?
And this kind of operation?

Then, Li Xuan listened to the explanation and understood why giving himself, a person who was "unworthy of the position", more scenes would actually serve to highlight the main characters. Anyway, the scenes that were cut would only reduce the side plots. What did cutting the supporting roles' scenes have to do with the main characters?

They were all brought up by representatives from various circles.
The corner of Li Xuan's mouth twitched. There were actually such twists and turns. He had never thought about it so much before.

When I heard it today, it seemed to be the same logic. Why was it that when I watched dramas in the past, there were always people with poor acting skills and images, but they had a lot of scenes. At first I thought they had a strong background, but in the end they were pushed out to take the blame and serve as a foil.

"Number One Under Heaven" is a big production, but it is also an original creation.

Original works are inherently unstable. For a sure-win work like "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", whoever has more shots will be better. Original works may become a black history, especially those produced by the extremely unstable Wang Pangzi.

There will still be various concerns.

Li Xuan couldn't help but feel both amused and helpless about this. Is this probably the "certainty" that capital pursues?
Some investors’ goal is box office, while others’ goal is to promote celebrities.

Because of their different standpoints, their emphasis on casting is definitely different. For example, the big bird Peng who can be seen with the naked eye should have no objection to this casting and he is extremely supportive of it.

"Sure enough, if I can be the investor and director of a production, then I won't be subject to any more restrictions due to profit distribution issues."

Li Xuan now has a strong desire to control the fate of his own work.

"Don't worry about being buried alive. Let me tell you something."

At this time, Xu Xiaodan was reminding Li Xuan that he should not think too much about the incident of being buried alive.

One person can't endure a nearly two-hour play.

Impossible.

So far, no one has done this before.
Li Xuan knew that Professor Xu was persuading him, and that she was using her life experience to persuade Li Xuan.
“I’m not worried.”

Wang Jinsong standing next to him wasn't worried either - because he knew that if "Buried" was made into a movie, no one would be willing to invest in it.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that there was actually a fool from Hong Kong who voted in the first round for "Buried".
"You say you have the talent, but you should create a proper production plan and follow the steps. Works like 'Buried' are too 'cutting-edge' and difficult to film. If you really want to delve into this, you could actually start by selling the script."

Forget about selling the script, we worked so hard to simulate "Buried Alive"!
At this time, Li Xuan returned to the classroom, and naturally all kinds of flattery were inevitable.
Originally, I thought that after there was no sequel to "Buried Alive", Li Xuan would suffer a Waterloo in his adaptation talent, but Jin Yong came up with a trump card and put Li Xuan in the spotlight again.

Your Brother Li is still your Brother Li!
This talent directly changed the character settings and endings of Jin Yong's works.

This is a bit too perverted.

No matter how many versions of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" are filmed in the future, no matter how many versions of Murong Fu are filmed, Li Xuan cannot be avoided.

His ending was given by Li Xuan.
This kind of thing really brings about explosive feedback.

In fact, this incident also has a chain reaction. For people in the industry, Li Xuan's creative talent is unquestionable.

If Buried Alive for Six Minutes is only amazing on paper, then the adaptation of Murong Fu's role proves that Li Xuan has the ability to create characters.

It is not something that is only for show.

A small fermentation.

Li Xuan was in the dormitory building when he heard Wei Minglai calling him.

"What's wrong, uncle?"

"Someone contacted you to buy the script. They're from Huayi Taihe and Guangying Media. They've both contacted me to buy your Buried Alive script."

When "Buried Alive" was first released, there was no response, only Andy Lau came.

Now Jin Yong's report is equivalent to endorsing Li Xuan's screenwriting talent, and those people smell blood coming.

Regardless of the actual effect of the script of "Buried Alive", it can at least prove the usefulness of the name Li Xuan.
"Oh my god, I just finished a six-minute segment on 'Buried Alive' and there was no response, and now a report by Jin Yong has directly elevated my status. I have to say, this is quite ironic and funny."

Li Xuan was a little amused and helpless.

Of course, it's just a little bit of a dilemma.

After hearing the quotes from Huayi Brothers and Guangying Media, I was even more amused. They offered 8,000 and 10,000 yuan respectively.
I feel comfortable taking it out.

At this time, Li Xuan said.

"Just turn them down. They want to take my script for 8,000 or 10,000 yuan. What the hell are you dreaming of?"

Besides, our "Buried Alive" really has an owner.

"Okay, then I reject them."

Wei Ming paused and said, "You're going to film 'Number One Under Heaven' right after the next semester starts. Has your school settled it yet?"

Although Beijing Film Academy does not prohibit students from filming in principle, the time spent on filming exceeds the time spent on school, so this kind of thing is really difficult to do.

But the class teacher Wang Jinsong approved it with a stroke of his pen.

Rules are for ordinary students. For a genius like Li Xuan, who has such a gifted acting talent that even Jin Yong can personally change the ending of his novel,
It would be a pity if he were confined to school with such talent.
