MTL - China Entertainment Ultimate Tycoon-Chapter 31 "Zhu Xian"!
"There's nothing inconvenient, the TV series I want to shoot is an Internet IP, called "Zhu Xian"!" Jiang Bai laughed.
"Zhu Xian?"
Yu Dong was slightly startled, and then said: "This is a big IP. When it was updated on the Internet a few years ago, the response was not small, and there were many readers."
""Zhu Xian" is an early work in online novels. There are many fans, and the plot is also very good. It is an IP that is very suitable for adaptation into a film and television drama!" Jiang Bai said.
Don't think that any popular online novel can be adapted into a film and television drama.
In fact, among the vast web of novels, only a few are suitable to be changed into film and television dramas.
The vast majority of popular online novels are actually more suitable for adaptation into games.
This is not the subjective guess of the adaptor, but is determined by the characteristics of the online novel.
For an online novel with millions of words, the setting of the hierarchy is extremely important.
Because in the development of online novels for more than ten years, online authors have used various methods to support the entire novel.
Including but not limited to characters, plots, backgrounds, maps...
But in the end they found that the only thing that could do this was a hierarchy.
A clear and numerous level system can strengthen the rhythm of the novel and extend the number of words in the novel indefinitely.
At the same time, this escalating setting also coincides with the basic setting of online games.
So we see that the early online novels were basically adapted into games.
And many have achieved good results.
In contrast, film and television adaptations of online novels are quite rare.
And basically change one and destroy the other.
Fans of the original novel cannot accept the producer's modification of the plot, characters, and completely freeing themselves.
And the producer is also very troubled by the countless garbage water-injection plots in the original work.
If you don't change it, you will have to shoot a work that is almost entirely water.
If it is changed, either fans of the original book cannot accept it, or it forms a plot breakpoint, and new audiences who have not seen the original book simply cannot understand the plot.
Dilemma!
This is the main reason why early online novels were rarely adapted into film and television dramas.
As for why a large number of online novels began to change into film and television dramas after a few years?
The reason is very simple, the cost of film and television production has dropped, and the audience of online novels has increased.
The reader's awareness of genuine products has risen, and the paid viewers of video sites have risen sharply.
As long as it is a popular IP, even if it is made into a pile of garbage, it will still make a lot of money.
If so, why not shoot?
Compared with other online novels, "Zhu Xian" is actually quite different.
It is an early work of online novels, and the deep-rooted routines of later generations have not yet been formed in the hearts of online authors at that time.
I don't pay much attention to the hierarchy in the novel.
And more importantly, although "Zhu Xian" wears the skin of a fairy, it is a real martial arts romance novel.
The main plot is actually a love between men and women!
To be honest, if such novels are placed in later generations, there will be some opportunities in the publication of female frequency and physical books, and the subscription of male frequency can basically be given up.
Countless online authors who once wanted to learn the writing method of "Zhu Xian" have told the world with painful lessons,
The routine of the Great God is not something that ordinary people can learn!
But the magic power is not as good as the number of days.
"Zhu Xian" appeared too early. At that time, not many people wrote books on the Internet. It was not decided by the readers, but by the authors.
Jiang Bai once came into contact with an author at that time. The author said that when he wrote the third volume at that time, he suddenly didn't want to write it, so he wrote the fourth volume first, finished the fourth volume, and then went back to write the first volume. Three volumes.
And his hard-pressed readers actually followed him to read the fourth volume first, and then went back to read the third volume.
Jiang Bai's face was full of envy when he heard it, what a golden age for the author.
Don't skip a volume when writing a book now, if you don't update it on time, readers will abandon the book, okay?
All in all, because of his unique time advantage, "Zhu Xian" unexpectedly became popular.
Among the online novels, there are few high-quality IPs that have a lot of popularity and are very suitable for adaptation into film and television dramas.
It's a pity that such an IP, which could have been adapted as an online novel for film and television dramas, has been crippled by the producers of later generations.
In the 16 years of later generations, the film and television drama "Qingyunzhi" adapted from "Zhu Xian" was premiered, and it immediately received a lot of scolding.
The little fresh meat's embarrassing acting skills to the limit, rough and rotten graphics and special effects that are incomprehensible, as well as brain-damaged plots that neither fans of the original nor passers-by audiences can accept, almost destroyed this IP!
However, Jiang Bai's decision to shoot "Zhu Xian" now is not entirely to make up for the regrets at the beginning.
Even aside from being a Zhu Xian book fan and his various resentments towards Qing Yunzhi in later generations, "Zhu Xian" is still the most suitable script for him at present.
First of all, the original novel has a lot of popularity, and this alone can guarantee that it will not lose money.
Secondly, as a fairy tale drama, a lot of special effects can be used in this TV series, and this is Jiang Bai's biggest advantage.
Finally, "Zhu Xian" is a high-quality IP in online novels. Once the excellent film and television adaptation work is completed, UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com will have a great impact on the entire IP market.
It may prompt the arrival of the era of big IP ahead of schedule.
This will play an extremely important role in Jiang Bai's next layout.
Yu Dong thought for a while and said, "I remember that the film and television adaptation rights of this novel are in Huan Rui's hands. Does Director Jiang plan to cooperate with them in filming?"
"I'm talking about it. The initial plan is to buy the film and television adaptation rights, but if it doesn't work, the cooperation is not unacceptable." Jiang Bai said.
Yu Dong nodded and said, "If there is a place where Bernard is needed, Director Jiang can talk. Bernard has some resources in the TV drama distribution market."
"Thank you Dong, if I really need it, I will not be polite." Jiang Bai sincerely thanked.
The guests were all in place, and the celebration feast officially began.
Han Sanping, Jiang Bai, Wu Jing, and Ying Bao together used a hammer to smash a 1 billion ice sculpture made of ice, implying that the box office of "Dragon Slaying" will not stop there.
Jiang Bai spoke on stage: "The success of "Dragon Slaying" is inseparable from the support of all film and television colleagues, it is not only the success of our main creative team, but also the success of everyone present.
We will always remember that when "Zhan Long" was signed with China Film, it was Chairman Han who single-handedly vetoed the schedules of other foreign films in the same period, and gave all publicity and film arrangement resources to "Zhan Long".
We will never forget that after the release of "Zhan Long", many media friends helped "Zhan Long" together, so that more audiences can know about "Zhan Long".
I think this should be the norm in our film and television industry. Don't fight infighting, don't demolish each other, cooperate with each other, and leverage each other's strength. Only by working together to expand the domestic box office market can we strongly support the rise of domestic movies! "
