"You cut a little too much..."

"Dafeng Factory is a battlefield, a battlefield for high-level games. His direction determines the outcome of the upper-level confrontation to a certain extent. But don't you think the plot given to Zheng Xipo and his son in the script is too long? The audience may find it a bit long-winded. "

Two weeks later.

Luo Xun took the first revised draft of "In the Name of the People" to discuss with screenwriter Zhou. After reading it, screenwriter Zhou found that Luo Xun had made drastic changes and cut off many sub-lines in the script. The game between high-level officials and provincial leaders The plot of the meeting and the in-depth exploration of each official became more and more, and it can be said that it was not a bold decision.

"Sun Honglei and you have more rivalries."

"After all, they are old classmates, and he and the protagonist are indeed one of the people who have the greatest conflict. The most important thing is that their experiences form a sharp contrast, so the sense of opposition between different situations and different outcomes can also be highlighted. ”

"That's true."

Screenwriter Zhou nodded.

Also relying on the background of their father-in-law, Hou Liangping and Zhong Xiaoai are loving husband and wife. There are no messy things. The two are together because they were in love with each other at the beginning.

Qi Tongwei is different.

Qi Tongwei got together with a woman he didn't like in order to gain a relationship with her. When he became famous, he kicked his woman away, and the relationship between husband and wife existed in name only.

in addition……

After graduation, Hou Liangping stayed in Yanjing and worked in Yanjing. Young talents in important institutions have unlimited prospects, but Qi Tongwei was different. He was directly sent to work in a place where no one had time to shit. He was full of passion and ambition, and was dismissed. This helpless allocation of ambitions to attack has not been fulfilled.

under such circumstances.

There is absolutely no problem in comparing Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping, so after thinking about it for a while, screenwriter Zhou basically agreed with Luo Xun’s direction of adapting the script: “You want a group of visual emperors to fight against each other and create the most gorgeous It doesn’t seem to be a problem to let the actors run away with the show, after all, you are all real actors.”

"Writer Zhou is too polite."

Luo Xun took advantage of the situation and said a few words of humility. Although he didn't think he was much worse than these veteran vision emperors, it was still a bit shameful to admit with a lick of his face that he was on the same level as Teacher Chen Daoming.

"OK."

Screenwriter Zhou did not continue to be polite, but assigned script tasks: "We compressed the plot of Dafeng Factory to a certain range to speed up the pace of this scene. As for Zheng Xipo's son, it would definitely not be appropriate to cut it directly. , but we really can’t keep too much. Let the father and son show their role at key moments. For the daily part of the plot, we use the daily life of Hou Liangping and Zhong Xiaoai as filler. What do you think?”

"Okay."

Luo Xun thought that screenwriter Zhou must have decided to add such a line about husband and wife because of his special relationship with Zhang Sui Ning. Besides, it was the heroine's debut on the small screen, so why not take advantage of the popularity of the topic.

Luo Xun knew this very well.

Anyway, his goal was basically achieved. Screenwriter Zhou approved the direction of his adaptation, which accelerated the pace of the TV series.

A common problem in domestic dramas.

The pacing tends to drag.

Even the popular "In the Name of the People" has similar problems, which is why Luo Xun had such an idea to make the rhythm of this drama more stable and full of tension.

…

After exchanging opinions, the two established the direction of subsequent script creation before saying goodbye to each other.

"It's really not wrong to look for Luo Xun."

Screenwriter Zhou looked at Luo Xun's leaving figure with a smile on his face. He said he had seen Luo Xun's screenwriting works, of course it was a polite comment. In fact, screenwriter Zhou didn't know Luo Xun's screenwriting ability before. He would invite Luo Xun. Xun also served as the screenwriter of this drama, purely because someone from above prompted him to do so.

This shows that Luo Xun's background is not simple.

Therefore, screenwriter Zhou contacted Luo Xun with the mentality of giving it a try. Judging from the first exchange of scripts, Luo Xun was very thoughtful about the performance of this drama, and even thought of many things that he had neglected before. place, and screenwriter Zhou had a vague feeling that some of the points pointed out by Luo Xun happened to be the ones he wanted to solve, but was troubled that he couldn't find a way to solve them!

In fact, screenwriter Zhou didn't know.

Many of the suggestions mentioned by Luo Xun were plots that appeared in the original version of "In the Name of the People" in the previous life, so these ideas naturally came from screenwriter Zhou himself. Now that they are spoken out by Luo Xun, the uninformed screenwriter Zhou can There was a kind of appreciation for Luo Xun, and I felt that the other party understood his intention of creating this play——

It feels like a close friend.

It is precisely because of this feeling that screenwriter Zhou was easily persuaded by Luo Xun. As the saying goes, even if you have never eaten pork, you have seen pigs running. Even if Luo Xun has no qualifications as a screenwriter, his role has achieved so many ratings. For a popular TV series, someone must be very good at picking out scripts. How could he not have his own ideas about the plot of a drama?

other side.

Luo Xun seemed very happy after persuading screenwriter Zhou. He happily went back to revise the script. He added drama to Sui Sui openly and made the script into the shape he liked. Screenwriter Zhou seemed to be quite easy to talk to anyway.

What Luo Xun didn't know was...

At this moment, all the major domestic TV stations are caught in a deep entanglement. This entanglement comes from "In the Name of People"!

There is no doubt about it.

This "In the Name of People" is full of superstars and will definitely be a big hit. According to common sense, it is enough for major first-line TV stations to fight for the copyright.

But...

Luo Xun is the male lead!

Banning Luo Xun while spending a lot of money to get the broadcasting rights of Luo Xun's TV series is like slapping oneself in the face. Although the TV station is not afraid of losing face, it also knows what it means to be afraid of people's words, so it is completely caught in a dilemma.

Some people suggested...

Just buy it with a pinch of the nose. Anyway, if "In the Name of People" becomes popular, the ratings it brings are real. Who cares whether the ratings are contributed by enemies and opponents?

Some people also suggested...

Just take this opportunity to compromise with Luo Xun. Although Yunhai TV has not caused much trouble, Yinbai is obviously not constrained too much, and their ban is a bit self-deception.

There are all kinds of things.

Luo Xun is now a very difficult person for major TV stations to deal with. There seem to be only two ways between Luo Xun and major TV stations.

One is Luo Xun bowing his head.

The other is that the TV station bows its head.

The former is very difficult, but the latter seems to be possible now. As Luo Xun's influence in the entertainment industry becomes stronger and stronger, some TV stations have regretted provoking a strong enemy like Luo Xun...
