entertainment first

The next day, Bi Xia visited Huang Xiaoli's parents and Ni Jing's parents, then flew back to the capital. He made an appointment with Huang Xiaoli to meet in the capital in three days. At the same time, he also had to clean up the rental house.

At the moment, he didn't know where to look for a house. His rental house had a quiet environment and a large area. He would be aggrieved for now. At the same time, he would also hurry up and find a house for them near the company.

Bi Xia asked Huang Xiaoli to come out, so naturally he could no longer treat him badly in life. There is a saying in society today: Favor is favor, work is work. However, Bi Xia has never been a real businessman, and he has little interest in understanding business. He just wants to make money.

It’s just to keep your film career unchecked.

Back in the capital, Bi Xia devoted himself to intense work. The game scene design and scripts had to be carefully conceived. The reality was different from what he remembered.

In my memory, the game and the TV series were separated by ten years, and the plots of the TV series were different. It can be said that the screenwriter wanted to break through the plot of the game.

In reality, there won't be much difference in the launch time of the two, and they may even be launched on the market at the same time. Then there is a problem, that is, whether the plot should be consistent.

If the plot is the same, will players find it boring to play the game after watching the TV series? If it is different, will players who choose the game specifically because of the TV series be disappointed. This is a dilemma, because there is no preconceived standard.

After much thought, Bi Xia decided to separate the game plot from the TV drama plot, make some changes, and make some modifications based on the plot in memory. At that time, it can be explained that the design originally had two stories.

It is also a good gimmick to make a game and a TV series respectively.

The TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy" set off a viewing frenzy as soon as it was released. Compared to the game, many plots have been changed. These changes have received mixed reviews. Some fans of Sword and Fairy believe that the images and background settings of some characters have changed beyond recognition, far beyond recognition.

While playing the original version of the game, there are also opinions that the changes in the psychology, image and background of these characters are just right and are a sublimation and re-creation of the game.

"Legend of Sword and Fairy" has too many bonds and memories in the hearts of Sword and Fairy fans. The adaptation of the TV series itself has a reality that is always difficult to reconcile. To paraphrase a Sword and Fairy fan: Someone asked me what Sword and Fairy Sword is, then I say Sword and Sword is a sword.

A feeling!

To be fair, the adaptation of the TV series is not a failure. It has made a major breakthrough in the original plot. After all, TV series are inherently richer in character relationships than games, so it is imperative to increase the sense of conflict in the plot.

However, as Bi Xia believes, the TV version of "Sword of Immortal" was not shot rigorously enough, and due to various reasons, the artistic conception in the game was not captured.

In Bi Xia's view, the biggest problem with the TV version of "Sword and Sword" is the improper handling of the protagonist Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao was born in the city and is mischievous, but he is definitely not a gangster. The TV series has gone too far in handling the character.

For example, there is a scene: the classic scene of meeting Yueru for the first time. The unruly girl Yueru was finally defeated by Li Xiaoyao, who had just left the world, with swordsmanship and tied to a tree. However, in the TV series, Li Xiaoyao relied on the skill of taking off Yueru's underwear to rejuvenate, and

After Li Xiaoyao took off certain parts of Yueru's clothes, the director also gave him a close-up pose. The plot was exactly the same. In the end, the screenwriter was criticized by game fans because the screenwriter added obscene moves to Li Xiaoyao.

In fact, many times the objections of Fairy Sword fans are not entirely due to the changes in the plot, but because even if the plot is the same as the original work, it cannot be filmed well!

Similarly, the TV series adaptation also has many interesting aspects, and the setting of the character Tang Yu is very successful. He is a tough, filial, brave, and full of love in his heart. He cheered up after losing his arms and hands, and was disabled but not disabled;

His love for his father and his love for Anu. At the end of the TV series, he and Anu turned into birds. This scene touched countless people.

His thoughts became clearer and clearer, and with the experience of his predecessors, Bi Xia gradually clarified his thoughts and had a general idea of ​​the entire TV plot.

…

Bi Xia has been very proud of himself recently. Huang Xiaoli came as promised. Under his operation, the company began to recruit programmers. I believe it will be on the right track soon. And he finally got his first income, and Bi Xia got a share of the album sales.

His contract with Huayi was the most generous in the industry, with a tier-to-tier ratio of 50 to 50.

Although there are also people in the entertainment industry who are divided into 30/70 and 28/20 levels, these are the exclusive rights of first-line stars or kings and queens. For a newcomer like him, it is basically rare to see a 50/50 split. Generally, newcomers are contracted to be divided into 70/30.

The agency accounts for 70%, and the artist accounts for 30%.

China's treatment of artists' dividends is relatively reasonable. For example, Korean artists' stratification is horribly low. Newcomers basically get 91 points, and the agency takes away 90% of the bonus.

The TV adaptation rights of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" were also sold for 500,000 yuan. Bi Xia knew that Zhang Jing played a big role in this. In fact, there is basically no fixed number for the TV adaptation rights of novels or games, and there are tens of thousands.

Some were worth hundreds of thousands, and many were worth several million. In my memory, the martial arts master once sold them for as little as one yuan.

"Bi Xia, this is director Shao Dengyi. Director Shao has a profound foundation in costume dramas. You need to communicate more." In Huayi's reception room, Bi Xia met the director of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

This is a thin middle-aged man, of medium height, with thin and protruding cheekbones that appear a bit abrupt, with bright eyes, and appears unusually quiet when not speaking.

"No, Miss Zhang is really an award." Shao Dengyi stood up quickly after hearing Zhang Jing's words. In addition to being Bi Xia's manager, Zhang Jing is also Huayi's little princess, a well-known "Iron Lady" in the entertainment industry.

"Director Shao, you are a senior. Please give me your advice in the future." Bi Xia bowed slightly and said respectfully. In addition to being the screenwriter of this TV series, he is also the deputy director. This is his own request. Director is Bi Xia's dream.

, he intended to fight for it all his life, so he would not miss any opportunity to learn.

When filming "Oldboy", Bi Xia felt that it was difficult for him to shoot on larger scenes, so he did not shoot independently early. Confidence does not mean arrogance. He still has too much to learn.

This time is a good opportunity.

"What advice is there? I've read the script. It's a rare and exciting story. I'm honored to be able to direct such a TV series. I believe we can cooperate with a talented young man like you to join the crew."

"It's very good. I will make the film more perfect." Shao Dengyi did not put on any airs, and regardless of whether Zhang Jing was still present, even if Zhang Jing was not present, Bi Xia's identity should not be insulted.

If you are just a simple assistant director, it is not worthy of the director's attention. Even though there is only one word difference between an assistant director and a director, it is a huge gap that is difficult to overcome. But Bi Xia is also the screenwriter of this TV series, and the profession of screenwriter is

It has received more and more attention over the years, which is also a testimony to the progress of the entertainment industry.

In the 1970s and 1980s, screenwriting was the least valued profession in the entertainment industry. At that time, many directors had the ability to write. Many excellent films were initially just an idea or even an idea from the director, and then they scribbled out the script and started filming.

, or simply create simultaneously while shooting.

After entering the new century, the film industry has become more and more formal. Unfortunately, the profession of screenwriter is still extremely difficult. The director's majesty is greater than anything else, and he can change the script at will. Screenwriters are not taken seriously.

The industry doesn't pay attention to it, and audiences generally don't realize the importance of screenwriters. Many times, even when a movie becomes a hit, the audience doesn't know who the screenwriter is.

In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer good scripts, so the importance of good screenwriters has finally come to the fore, and the status of screenwriters has improved dramatically. Although it is still not as good as directors, it is no longer the same as before.

In Hollywood, the world's largest entertainment center, their film industry has evolved to be quite professional, and everyone can truly perform their duties. The status of the screenwriter is actually the same as that of the director. Generally, in the filming process of a movie, first there is a script, and the film company

Choose a director, and finally choose actors. In Hollywood, a good script can often sell for millions of dollars.

And many times when audiences choose a movie, they don't choose the production company or the director, but the screenwriter's work.

An excellent work should be completed by the three parties of screenwriter, director and actors. This is the mature embodiment of the film system.

"I will listen to the director's instructions and try my best to assist you!" Bi Xia was not complacent because of Shao Dengyi's politeness, and still said humbly.

"Okay, please stop complimenting each other here. Let's go. The actors for the audition have basically arrived." Zhang Jing interrupted their conversation angrily. In the company, Zhang Jing always behaved very dignifiedly.

, a strong female aura filled the air, making Bi Xia secretly smack her tongue.

…

The audition room is a large suite with a large conference room outside. Now it has been transformed into a resting place for the artists who came to audition. Inside is a small audition room. Everything around the small room has been basically cleared.

, there are three tables in the center, with Bi Xia, Shao Dengyi and Zhang Jing sitting respectively.

Bi Xia is the screenwriter, Shao Dengyi is the director, and Zhang Jing is here as a producer at the moment.

There is also a photographer and a video camera nearby, which will faithfully record the audition. When they are undecided about a certain role, the three of them can watch the video to determine the specific candidate.

"Then let's get started!" Shao Dengyi said to the two of them.

"Okay!" Zhang Jing replied, and the assistant next to her immediately ran out and notified the staff outside to let people in.

Bi Xia lowered his head and looked at the information in his hand. The photo showed a very beautiful girl.

"The first one……"

(Let’s get here first. It seems that the 3,000 words haven’t arrived yet. I came back late today. Plus, I’ve been checking information for a long time. It’s almost 1 o’clock when I finish writing this chapter. “Sword of Immortal” is a game I played more than ten years ago, and I have forgotten the plot.

It’s almost done, I spent a long time thinking about it today, sweat)
