Reborn great writer

TV drama scripts are written in episodes, one scene at a time.

Not only that, Su Shichen also searched out "A Chinese Journey to the West", "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", "Monkey King in a Sea of ​​Clouds", "Monkey King", etc. in his mind.

Anyway, all the scripts of movies and TV dramas about Journey to the West have been searched out, and they can be used for reference. This is how the classics are refined.

Of course, "The Prehistoric" must also be integrated into it. The main tone he set for "New Journey to the West" is to gradually reveal the background of the prehistoric. It is not easy to integrate this background into it.

The first difficulty he encountered was how to start the chapter. The beginning of the old version of Journey to the West in this world is to introduce the stone on the Huaguo Mountain, that is, the stone that turned into Monkey King. This kind of narrative method is very good. Ming theme.

But since "New Journey to the West" is going to reveal the prehistoric background, it must directly involve Pangu Kaitian at the beginning.

But the crux of the problem is that from Pangu Kaitian to Journey to the West, at least one episode is required, which would be too slow. This is similar to a novel, where the worldview is explained at the beginning, which will arouse the disgust of readers. And this TV series is the same, it will also arouse the disgust of the audience, so the explanation at the beginning must be just right.

"It's best to dig a big hole, like a suspense novel, so that readers have the desire to read on." Su Shichen seems to have thought of a way, but how to dig this hole?

There are indeed many pitfalls in the prehistoric myth, but none of them are suitable, and have nothing to do with "Journey to the West" itself.

Think about the unsolved mysteries of Journey to the West?

Racking his brains, he wrote down one idea after another on paper, but Su Shichen shot them down one by one, so much so that he couldn't write anything out after two or three hours of thinking. This went on for two months. It's really dangerous to finish writing.

Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind and I patted myself on the head, "I'm too stupid to do this. At the beginning of each episode, I will tell about the myths of the wild for 5 minutes or 3 minutes, that's right, that's it."

"But what about the length of the plot? Adding 5 minutes to the beginning of each episode will take a lot of time. It seems troublesome to make adjustments to the program time."

"Is there any way to make this program not be delayed by the additional 5 minutes, but also ensure the quality of each episode." After thinking about it, I came up with a way to get the best of both worlds, but Yu Qiyuan must agree to do so.

This method is related to the screenwriters in the future, so Su Shichen approached Yu Qiyuan vigorously.

Came to Yu Qiyuan's room and knocked on the door.

"Director Yu, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"Please come in" Yu Qiyuan" is about the shaping of Monkey King. I have already thought about it. I have to take a compromise method, both of which are needed. I set the role of Monkey King as a hero, and arrange for him as you said. A relationship, but the degree of the two should be comprehensively weakened, after all, "Journey to the West" is not a book of personal heroism, let alone romance."

"Director Yu is very thoughtful. That's the way to do it for the role of Monkey King. However, when I was writing the script in the room just now, I suddenly thought of a method, which is good for explaining the myth of the prehistoric."

"What way?" Yu Qiyuan asked.

"Before I talk about this method, I would like to ask Director Yu a question. Every TV series has an opening title, but based on Director Yu's many years of directing experience, how many people will watch this opening title, even if there is a good opening song, Especially people who are watching online."

"Not many, very few to be precise. Most of those who watch online will fast-forward, while those who watch TV at home have to watch because the TV does not have a fast-forward function."

"That is to say, I don't really like to watch opening titles, so I have a suggestion, I suggest that "New Journey to the West" not have opening titles."

"No titles?"

"Yes, it is impossible to condense all the legends of the Great Desolation into a Journey to the West, but we can change the opening title of each episode to the myth of the Great Desolation. From the creation of Pangu to the Journey to the West, each episode will be told for 5 minutes. More than 60 episodes, or more than 300 minutes, can almost tell an overview of the entire prehistoric myth."

"This proposal is very good. Just like that, instead of wasting 5 minutes on the opening title that no one is watching, it is better to use the opening time to tell the myth of the wilderness." The more Yu Qiyuan talked, the more he felt that this method was very feasible. "Well, Qisi Fantastic idea, but very fitting."

Become!

Su Shichen secretly clenched his fists to cheer himself up, which saved him a lot of effort in writing the script.The next step is to use the plot in Journey to the West to slowly draw out the myth of the prehistoric.

In fact, there are many places where Journey to the West can lead to myths. For example, in No.20, in the fourth round, the immortal of Longevity Mountain kept old friends, and the wanderer of Wuzhuang Temple stole ginseng. In this round, a character named Zhen Yuanzi appeared. In this round, Monkey King He failed in the fight against him, which is actually very normal.

Who is Zhen Yuanzi?But people of the same era as the demon master Kunpeng, the ancestor of Minghe, Sanqing, etc., are known as the ancestors of the earth immortals, so how could Sun Wukong be an opponent.

The Three Qing Emperors and the Four Emperors were all their friends, this is not nonsense at all.

In the old version of Journey to the West, seeing that Zhen Yuanzi is so powerful, it seems that even Monkey King is no match, and he wants to know his identity. When he read it when he was a child, he wanted to know who Zhen Yuanzi was.

In the new version, the audience can be freely told who Zhen Yuanzi is.

And this time the ginseng fruit can also lead to the top ten spiritual roots in the world. This setting is a benefit for many online writers.

In addition, several protagonists can also lead to a lot of topics. First, let’s talk about Sun Wukong, one of the four great spirit monkeys of chaos. The names of these four spirit monkeys were only vaguely mentioned in the old version, but Su Shichen did It is possible to tell the identities of all four people.

Another example is Xiaobailong, who can lead to the origin of the Dragon Palace, and at the same time raise a question why the Dragon Palace is so unbearable. You must know that in the mythology, it is the dragon and the phoenix fighting for hegemony.

After the audience's interest is aroused, the background can be revealed, which is the first tribulation of the three tribulations of heaven and earth in the prehistoric mythology.

We must know that human beings are very curious animals. Knowing the first calamity among the three calamities of the world, we want to know the second and third calamities, so a new pit is completed.

Then Drifting Monk, Drifting Monk is a very simple-looking person who doesn’t seem to have any stories, but after learning the Western Scriptures, he was named the Golden Body Arhat Bodhisattva of the Eight Treasures of Nanwu. , Bhikkhu, Indra, Shravaka, Arhat, Bodhisattva, Buddha, and Buddha can then take advantage of the trend to compare the strength of immortals with the level of Buddhism, and divide them into golden immortals, true immortals, and so on.

According to the Buddhist conferment of the little white dragon, it can also lead to the Eight Dragons.

The Eight Dragons are the eight gods, nagas, yakshas, ​​gandharvas, asuras, kinnaras, garudas, and mahurakas.Waiting for these inextricable things can be drawn out one after another, that is to say, "New Journey to the West" is inseparable from "The Great Desolation" created by Su Shichen.

The room is quiet, and even the rustle of the pen tip can be heard clearly. Su Shichen believes that "New Journey to the West" will definitely become the annual ratings champion after it is shot. Of course, his favorite book is "The Great Desolation". Best-selling book of the year champion.

With the inspiration to solve the trouble, Su Shichen continued to write until eleven o'clock, and then stopped because he was hungry.I asked the waiter for a set meal, saying that the service of the star hotel is in place, and the food he wanted was brought to the room in less than 10 minutes.

After I was full, I remembered that there was another piece of good news that I hadn't told Wang Ni.

Call Aunt Wang, "Hey, Auntie, I'm still working, don't stay up too late, I can't finish my work anyway, my body is important..."

"Excuse me?" The voice on the other end of the phone was not Wang Ni's familiar Su Shichen, but a young female voice.Su Shichen's babbling and concern stopped abruptly. Could it be that he made a wrong call? Looking at the name saved on the phone, he saw that the call was correct.

"Uh, who are you? I'm looking for Aunt Wang."

"Oh, so I was looking for my mother. My mother is cooking. Wait a minute."

mom?Could this be Aunt Wang's daughter?

Turning her gaze to the phone, Wang Ni was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron like a housewife, but this housewife was not qualified, and she didn't start cooking until after eleven o'clock.

"Mom, someone is looking for you." Wang Shan handed the phone to Wang Ni.

"Phone? Who?"

"I don't know, but I really care about you, Mom, and tell you not to focus on work, but to rest more, and call Mom your aunt." Wang Shan said so, and Wang Ni already knew who was calling.

"Hey, what's the matter, Xiaochen?"

"Auntie, why are you making dinner so late? Are you just focusing on your work? How many times have you said it? Don't just focus on your work."

"Hmm..." If someone else was talking about it like this, Wang Ni would have exploded long ago, but listening to Su Shichen's talking, Wang Ni only replied with a nasal voice.

"By the way, Auntie, that person was your daughter just now, why haven't I seen it before?"

"I just came back from studying in the United States."

"Oh, by the way, Auntie, I have some good news for you. You should know that I was selected by Director Yu as the screenwriter of "New Journey to the West". It was at this time that I wrote a book that was bound to "New Journey to the West" Sold, and I plan to give this book to Auntie's company for publication, what does Auntie think?"

"It's not my aunt's company, it's our company, Xiaochen, you also have shares," Wang Ni corrected.

"Oh, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, that's all right, auntie, I still have some things not perfect in the script, let's talk next time" when Su Shichen hung up, "Auntie, you must remember not to Working too late."

"Hmm" hung up the phone.

"Who is mom?" Wang Shan asked with her big watery eyes.

"Su Shichen, a talented writer in Yangcheng." Wang Ni briefly introduced.

"Genius writers? How many geniuses are there? Is there a genius of Scuvaro?" There are too many talented writers abroad, and since Wang Shan came back from studying in the United States, she has seen many geniuses, so for this genius in Yangcheng The author is dismissive.

"Xiaochen is indeed a genius" Wang Ni.

"No genius can compare to Scovalo." The Scovalro that Wang Shan said was a genius writer in the United States. He was the author of three best-selling books at the age of 17. Wang Shan admired him very much. He is often mentioned in the book, so Wang Ni knows it too.

"Xiaochen's genius level is not inferior to that of Skuvalo, even more genius." Wang Ni.
