Chapter 501 "The No. 1 Screenwriter in China"
The biggest change in this version of the TV series is that the original male lead Sun Shaoping was demoted to the second male lead, and the original second male lead Sun Shaoan became the first male lead.
In the original work, rural youths such as Sun Shaoping and Jin Bo are thirsty for knowledge, and long for the civilization and rich spiritual and material life of modern cities.
They tried their best to get out of the countryside and enter the city in various ways, which reflected the various ambivalences of these young people who moved from the countryside to the city in the process of pursuing modern civilization, and reflected the "intersection zone" There are huge differences in social life and urban and rural culture.
As a result, Sun Shaoan's image was highlighted on TV and he became an out-and-out village leader. He worked hard to get rich and also led the whole village to get rich.
This is indeed politically correct, but it does not conform to the original ideas and does not fully express what Lu Yao wanted to express.
Now that Lu Yao is still alive, if Fang Minghua changes it like this, Lu Yao will definitely be dissatisfied.
Sun Shaoping is his favorite!
The other is to cancel Jin Bo, a very important supporting role, and change his part to Runsheng.
We must know that the characters of Jin Bo and Runsheng are very different in the original work, how can they be related?
In the original work, after Jin Bo was demobilized and returned to his hometown, he missed the Tibetan girl in his heart and traveled thousands of miles to find the girl in the place where he had stayed. This is what the book says.
The book reads:
"He stood at the crossroads, singing this echoless song with tears streaming down his face. Many Tibetan and Chinese passers-by stopped in surprise. Standing there, listening to him singing like no one else, most people thought that he was a mental patient from out of town. However, he sang this beautiful song so heart-wrenchingly.”
He is an ideal person who lives in the secular world. He has a cheerful personality and is smooth in dealing with things, but he is the purest person whom I love in the book.
Compared with him, the love of other people is a bit boring. It is nothing more than a talented man and a good-looking woman who are well matched. Jin Bo himself explained that "love doesn't know where it starts, it goes deeper and deeper."
How could such a character be deleted so easily? !
After deciding to change his thinking, Fang Minghua began to write.
Also, Wang Lei's version of "The Ordinary World" has more than fifty episodes, which is a bit long. We are still in the film era, and we need to control costs, so about forty episodes will be enough.
The manuscript of "Skywalker" is about 420,000 words. Fang Minghua copied it onto a five-inch plate and sent it to Shu Bin in Haikou. The publishing company was responsible for the publication, so Fang Minghua no longer worried about it.
Since Shu Bin became the general manager of Shengshi Books, he has been ambitious. On the one hand, he actively contacted Nan Huaijin in Xiangjiang and prepared to publish Nan Huaijin's masterpieces such as "The Analects of Confucius" and "Laozi He Shuo" in the mainland.
On the other hand, it carried out drastic reforms within the company, learned from the mature experience of Hong Kong, European and American publishing circles, and began to establish a series of modern publishing operation mechanisms such as sales channels and advertising operations.
Through this book, Fang Minghua also wants to see what are the results of his reforms in the past few years?
At the same time, at the request of Bai Miao, the editor-in-chief of "Yanhe" magazine, a classic plot from the book "Skywalker" will be selected and published in the first issue of "Yanhe" next year.
The days passed by so leisurely.
The TV series "Desire" is extremely popular in the Yanjing area. When other provincial and municipal TV stations saw this situation, they actively sent people to negotiate with Shengshi Film and Television to purchase the film and television rights. Fang Minghua also won the title of "the first screenwriter in the country" reputation.
This title was proposed by a reporter from the Rule of Law Daily in a report.
This press release mainly reports that the TV series "Desire" has become a hit drama this year. After being broadcast in the Yanjing area, the ratings have remained high.
The reporter also conducted on-site investigation and found that in the family area of Yanshan Petrochemical City in Yanjing, this community has hundreds of thousands of residents, and the ratings in this community reached 98%! Already on par with CCTV's "News Network".
According to a survey conducted by Yanjing Daily, 96% of citizens said they had watched "Desire", compared with 87% of "Fearless" and 83% of "Shanghai Beach". It is enough to prove the influence of "Desire".
During the broadcast time of "Desire", the streets were even deserted because everyone sat in front of the TV on time to watch the show. During the broadcast of the drama, it is said that social security was so good that people did not need to lock their doors when sleeping. The crime rate in Yanjing also plummeted. Even thieves were influenced by the kindness of the characters in the drama. For this reason, the Yanjing Public Security Bureau prepared to award the "Desire" crew "Maintaining Law and Order Award".
Writer Minghua played an important role as a screenwriter. He has also written a series of movie scripts such as "Into the Dust", "Youth", "No One Less" and "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", all of which have won awards. Not a bad achievement. "Longing" was the first TV series script he wrote. It was such a sensation that he was truly the number one screenwriter in the country.
Fang Minghua does not have the habit of reading "Rule of Law Daily". Recently, he has been writing the script of "Ordinary World" at home and rarely goes out.
On the one hand, I want to write this script quickly. On the other hand, it is winter now. The wind is often howling outside and the ice and snow are blowing. Is there anything better than hiding in a warm study with a cup of hot air? Is it more comfortable to code words with Tengteng Longjing tea?
When you are tired, practicing calligraphy and appreciating calligraphy and painting, what a pleasant thing?
He didn't even bother to play mahjong.
This happened when Song Tangtang came back from get off work in the evening, told him about it, and brought back a newspaper.
"Look, the number one screenwriter in the country, tsk tsk. Why not the number one writer?" Song Tangtang said in a teasing tone.
Fang Minghua took it over and took a look.
It’s true.
"Definitely. Still the No. 1 writer? Aren't you afraid that I will be drowned by others' saliva? Don't listen to these reporters' nonsense. This is called flattery!" Fang Minghua threw the newspaper aside casually.
"What kind of public security award is this? Are you going to receive it? Zheng Xiaolong from Yanjing Station called this afternoon. It is indeed true and he asked you to go to Yanjing." Song Tangtang asked.
"I won't go." Fang Minghua didn't even think about refusing; "Thank you Yanjing Police for your kindness. Zheng Xiaolong and the others can just take it. Why did you come to Yanjing in the cold weather?"
"Okay, I'll call you back at work tomorrow."
"Tangtang, how many TV stations have purchased the copyright for the TV series "Desire"?" Fang Minghua asked, thinking of something.
"Well, there are already four companies, and three more are under negotiation. The average price per episode is 12,000 yuan."
"Congratulations, Mr. Song, Shengshi Film and Television has had a good start just after its establishment."< br>
“Ouch. I still have to rely on my writer Fang Da to write a good script and strategize at home, so that I can win a thousand miles.”
“Writer Fang Da, call me husband!”
“Husband.” Song Tangtang replied delicately.
Hey.
It seems that the training was successful.
Fang Minghua shook his head and stood up and walked to the study.
After joking for a while, it’s time to code.
New Year's Day 1990 is coming soon.
The 1980s are almost over.
On December 20, Fang Minghua received an invitation letter from the Writers Association: he was invited to attend the Third National Young Writers Creation Conference in Yanjing on December 27, and to attend on December 31 In the evening, the "Literary Night·Yanjing·89" party was held in the auditorium of the Ministry of Materials.
