Entertainment: I, Mr. Deyun Da

　　Wu Shaobai thought to himself. .

Chapter 1180

　　But when it's all said and done, if Wu Shaobai is shirking, it will be a bit inauthentic.

　　Although he knew in his heart that the other party was wasting his time, he still nodded:

　　"Okay... Then tell me, what kind of play is this?"

　　This is what Wang Xiangjun wants.

　　His eyes turned to Xu Lei instantly.

　　They seemed to have had a hunch about this scene before. Seeing Wang Xiangjun looking at him, Xu Lei coughed lightly and said:

　　"That's right, Mr. Wu, I'm the author of "The Tomb Raiders Notes"... Have you read this novel?"

　　"Honestly, no."

　　Wu Shaobai shook his head sincerely:

　　"I've seen "Ghost Blowing Candle", and it's been broadcast, but your work... I haven't touched it."

　　Xu Lei was not surprised and nodded directly:

　　"Okay... It's actually like this. My "Tomb Raiders" is set up. A group of native masters in Changsha dug a tomb of the Warring States Period and got a 29 silk book..."

　　Wu Shaobai actually wondered why he said "The Tomb Raiders".

　　Because this drama is not something... "Old Nine Doors"?

　　Why did you suddenly start talking about this?

　　However, he did not interrupt the other party, but continued to listen patiently.

　　Listen, listen, he understands.

　　This "Old Nine Doors" is actually a prequel to Tomb Raiders Notes.

　　During the period of the Republic of China, nine major families guarded Changsha and were called "Nine Gate Admirals".The power of these nine gates is huge, and no one outside the eight lines knows it, and no one knows about it. Almost all the bright tools that flow out of Changsha must pass through one of them. In the autumn of 1933, a mysterious ghost car slowly drove into Changsha Railway Station...

　　With his narration, Wu Shaobai probably knew what the story was.

　　……

　　"That is to say, screenwriter Xu, your script is a story about the prequel to tomb raiders, right? The so-called RB man experiment, then the ancient tomb, the meteorite copper, and the rivers and lakes of that era... and so on?"

　　After listening to Xu Lei's story for more than half an hour, Wu Shaobai summed it up.

　　Xu Lei nodded.

　　"Then let me share some of my views."

　　Wu Shaobai raised a finger:

　　"First... This story sounds pretty good, but I don't know the quality of the script, let's put it aside. Second, it sounds like Er Yuehong in this story... is this name?"

　　"correct."

　　"You made it for me?"

　　"Yes, because it was you who referred to the characters in the first place. Er Yue Hong Xi white clothes and flower clothes, unconsciously, they were designed according to your template. So I think that in this play, compared to Zhang Qishan, You are more suitable for February red."

　　"Uh-huh."

　　Wu Shaobai nodded:

　　"Third... This play is about the Jianghu affairs, right? I mean Mingmian, and the bright side is a Jianghu affair, but in fact, I listen to you, the final ending... It's the Er Yuehong The hairpin given by his apprentice Chen Pi Asi killed... That girl, and then some cannibalism, and finally led to a map under a holy tree, and then led to the story in the "Tomb Raiders". Right? ?"

　　"Yes."

　　"That is to say, the core of the whole play is actually in the hands of Chen Pi A Si?"

　　"Uh... yes."

　　Xu Lei was a little surprised, thinking that Mr. Wu's thinking was really clear.

　　Indeed, although this script looks like a tomb robbery, it is actually more of a suspense-solving type of drama.

　　But Wu Shaobai scratched his head and said:

　　"It always feels...it doesn't sound right."

　　"..."

　　"..."

　　"..."

　　Everyone immediately looked over.

　　Seeing that they were all looking at him, Wu Shaobai sat up slightly and said:

　　"I haven't read the story, I just listened to screenwriter Xu's dictation, so maybe some of what I said next is not accurate. You should listen to it as a reference."

　　Subconsciously, everyone also sat up straight.

　　"Actually, this is the case. Let's just talk about storytelling. There are three elements in storytelling. Liangzi, which is the main line of the story, is the skeleton. Tuozi, which belongs to the content of the story chapters, are divided one after another. Come on, the next step is the button, which is a means of using people to ensure that the guests can't finish listening to your book, and their hearts are itching, so they will come and listen to it next time. To be honest, just listening to this script you wrote, I feel that it is actually in essence. It's a deviation..."

　　Xu Lei was taken aback.

　　But Wu Shaobai continued:

　　"The deviation I'm talking about is not about storytelling. It's true that every author can find a different angle when writing a story. However, based on your book, it belongs to the prequel of the Tomb Raiders Notes. , I personally think that the first thing the prequels do is to echo the story behind it. There is nothing wrong with you, screenwriter Xu, on this point. Isn't the last map pointing to the location of the Warring States Silk Book?

　　But by the same token, your path is...a little off.It's not that the difference lies in the story, but the difference between the script and the story, which is what we call the scumbag.I think you don't understand the difference between script and story... Of course, this is just my immature idea, just for reference. "

　　Xu Lei nodded quickly and listened.

　　Now everyone on the Internet actually has a perception that Mr. Wu is actually a person who is very good at writing stories.

　　Because if you are not good at writing stories, let's not talk about cross talk or something, and just talk about his version of "Journey to the West", it will not be so successful.

　　The sea of ​​people mentioned in Journey to the West is gone, but 99% of the people in this line are based on the story of the entire Journey to the West, only to him, he is the main line of the story of Journey to the West. The story of Journey to the West has been dismantled.

　　Especially the first half.

　　In the middle part of Journey to the West, in fact, Mr. Wu's writing is not heavy, it is nothing more than monsters fighting monsters after monsters, but at the beginning, various forces competed to lead monkeys to start the journey to the west, and later on, why did the various gods take care of them? In terms of living on his own mount, Mr. Wu called the one who disassembled all the stories an awesome one.

　　Even more and more people now think that the so-called "Journey to the West" is just a hoax, and that Tang Sanzang is a schizophrenic also comes from this.

　　It can be said that "Journey to the West" has been said by so many people throughout the ages, but it is only at his place that everyone has heard something different and highly accomplished.

　　Although he still doesn't know whether the other party will accept the invitation, he may get some "guidance", Xu Lei feels...

　　Well worth the trip. .

Chapter 1181

　　"Actually, I think you have stepped into a misunderstanding, that is, positioning."

　　Holding a cup of tea in his hand, Wu Shaobai talked freely.

　　"Actually, the reason why I say this is because it just so happens that after my special performance in Tianjin in September, I had such a conversation with my fellow apprentices. That is the difference between the audience who can listen to cross talk and the audience who listen to cross talk and pursue happiness. What about the two? , First of all, it is based on the technology of cross talk. In terms of what we are talking about now, the groups of your script face are actually audiences, but they are two groups of audiences.

　　One, viewers who haven't seen "The Tomb Raiders Notes", or who are not interested in this story.Because of the shortage of dramas, or because there was a star they liked here, they chased after them.According to the audience of cross talk, they belong to the audience who listen to cross talk and pursue happiness.As long as it is fun to listen to, they are naturally interested in cross talk.In the same way, because a star comes over, it is this part of the audience who will watch for the star. "

　　Xu Lei nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Mr. Wu meant.

　　But he didn't speak, just continued to wait for the other party's next words.

　　"Secondly, those who can listen to cross talk, that is to say, fans of your book. These fans, who have read your original book, are no strangers to the world you built, what... Old Nine Gates, Zhang Jia, Chen Pi A Si, Er Yue Hong, etc., they can all find their own continuations in the book.

　　To put it bluntly, what everyone is reading is not the ones in your book...what kind of RB experiment, or a love-hate relationship with Chen Pi A Si, it is not.Just like the small group of audience who can listen to cross talk, what they listen to is the taste in cross talk.Repeatedly shaking, laying on the mat, a little bit is like boiling water on a charcoal fire, and finally, the water boils and steams, and a pot of tea is brewed with this water, with a long aftertaste.So fans are not watching your story, because your story has been completed in the book "The Tomb Raiders", and everyone is watching the rivers and lakes of that year. ‖. "

　　"These are two very extreme groups of people. If you follow the story that fans have always completed, then in my eyes, I think... your story went wrong from the beginning. Fans of "The Tomb Raiders" are not They will want to see some RB people's experiments, and they won't want to see so-called stories that are completely irrelevant to the sequel. What they want to see is very simple. The details of the tomb robbery in the Warring States Silk Book and the preparations before the tomb robbery are in the old nine gates of Changsha. That river and lake."

　　"Tell me about "Journey to the West". What everyone wants to hear is not how the heaven and earth first opened before the monkeys jumped out, and how Nuwa mends the sky. If you have time to spare, you might as well listen to Fengshen. People want to see it. The question is why Nuwa left behind a colorful stone, and why after the monkey came out, how did the West, Heavenly Court, Humanism, Intercept, and Interpretation compete. To put it bluntly, the prequel of a certain work needs to be written. , you must first choose the position. In my opinion, your first position is wrong."

　　"Indeed, when the train entered Changsha, it led to the experimental base, and then led to three pieces of meteorite copper. The meteorite copper and the holy tree were combined, and then there was the map of Darzi Ridge... The main line of this story. In fact, in my opinion, although it lacks some, it is actually qualified. But what about the so-called intrigue, the apprentice betrays the master, the death of Er Yuehong's wife, and the rescue of his wife, all of which are a bit of a new word to talk about worries. the meaning of.

　　The real "Tomb Raiders" fans should not want to see this, but want to see the rivers and lakes of that year, and some things in the old nine gates. This is what I learned from "Ghost Blowing Candles" and Inspiration from the conversation with the brothers after the last session in Tianjin.Because the story in this script is what I am talking about. As a screenwriter, you are telling us how Nuwa mends the sky and how the heaven and earth first opened... For fans of the original work, if this play is made, you will definitely be scolded. not light. "

　　"Then speaking of the first type, that is, you did not shoot this movie for fans of the original book. If you only talk about this aspect, then this story is barely qualified. There are conspiracies, emotions, and various This is something that is quite rare for many audiences. If you can hire some well-known actors, you should be able to come, but then again. The Liangzi of this script is tomb robbery, or your previous work "Tomb Robbery" The content of "Handbook" has become a specious thing. Some things may be familiar to fans of the original book, but passers-by will be very confused. The director needs to spend some space to explain the story, then the whole rhythm will appear very procrastinated. Passerby fans may not accept it."

　　"So...according to my judgment, your play...is likely to end up in an unfortunate end. You will be scolded badly by fans of the original book, and passers-by fans will only praise some actors in the play if they want to praise them. The evaluation of the whole story is not necessarily high... In fact, to put it bluntly, this is just a matter of choice. Art and commerciality have been two extremes since ancient times. There are people who can perfectly combine it. But at least... ...I don't see it in the story you tell me."

　　"¨"Of course, maybe this is just my side of the word, but it's from the bottom of my heart. The reason why I say this is, first, you are my fan, and I will not lie to the fans, because it will show that I am not sincere. So since I have seen some drawbacks, even if you don't like to hear it, I have to say it. Because this is my virtue. In the same way, after I say it, I hope you can improve it, because the method is always more difficult than the difficulty. "

　　"Secondly, Mr. Wang and Mr. Gong are both partners who have been working together for a long time. Since iQiyi has decided to invest in this drama and make (Zhao Qianzhao) friends, I must take risks. Say it. As for whether it sounds good or not... To be honest, for a businessman, saying [-] words is not as painful as losing [-] yuan. So, although I don't know how much iQIYI will participate in the investment , but I still pointed out the risks of this drama. And for this, I would like to thank President Gong, Sister Wang, and iQiyi for their promotion. "

　　"Thirdly, it is these people from the media and film industry. This is the first time for everyone to deal with each other, but after waiting for the whole morning, if I just say no and just say no, it will appear that I am too arrogant, and my original intention is not. In this way, there is no need to cause misunderstandings. You are all experts on market positioning or the promotion and production of episodes. I will tell you the shortcomings, and everyone will naturally find a solution. "

　　Saying that, he drank the tea:

　　"Thank you for listening to my speech, let's talk about this first, how?".

Chapter 1182

　　"..."

　　"..."

　　"..."

　　No one in the room responded to Wu Shaobai.

　　Wang Xiangjun, Xu Lei, and other investors or representatives who wanted to participate in this drama, who came here specially today, all frowned.

　　Not a word.

　　Wu Shaobai was not in a hurry, put down the empty teacup, and waited patiently.

　　He has already said everything that he can analyze and say.
