Chapter 87 The World is Connected (over 1,100 first-time subscriptions plus additional updates)
But now that filming is about to start, it will not help to find faults with the script now.
A large-scale adaptation of the script would be too much of a movement and is basically impossible to achieve.
But Xiaofeng is a famous writer after all, and he has the ability to write stories. Let’s listen to what he has to say.
Yu Shengming closed the script, raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Feng, since you have come here, you can't just find faults without solutions, right?"
Chen Linfeng perked up and said, "Of course not."
He then talked about his opinions on the adaptation.
There are several main points.
First, the plot of making trouble in the Heavenly Court strengthens the confrontation. The Heavenly Court needs a few more powerful gods to maintain the suppression of Agarwood, so that Agarwood can do something under heavy pressure. Some slightly excessive actions refer specifically to Sun Dasheng's Havoc in Heaven.
Secondly, the character of Sun Wukong should be linked with the sequel to Journey to the West, and his fighting ability cannot be weakened. Moreover, he should have seen Erlang Shen's plan in advance and helped secretly.
Third, the main plot of the later period is no longer about whether the gods in heaven can fall in love. This kind of change in the rules of heaven.
In fact, regarding this point, Chen Linfeng even advocates that gods are responsible and cannot easily be selfish or ordinary. That is not a good thing for the human world.
Besides, the lifespan gap between gods and mortals is too big. From the perspective of lifespan, falling in love between them is a kind of torture for both parties.
When Yu Shengming heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt. The third change completely distorted the original values.
But Chen Linfeng also took this into consideration. For the special case of Yu San Sheng Sheng and Liu Yanchang, there can be additional solutions.
This leads to the main boss that Chen Linfeng plans to add.
It's still the same as the sequel a few years ago, with an indecisive and unborn mother.
Yu Shengming was shocked and quickly interrupted, "How can this lead to Wu Sheng's mother?"
Chen Linfeng said matter-of-factly, "When we did the sequel, we didn't tell Wu Sheng. The origin of the birth mother should be explained in detail. Such a suitable villain is not needed in vain."
Wusheng Mother had actions that threatened the heaven during the Lotus Lantern period, so she can be included in the sequel. Contained and blocked the heaven for 33 years.
And because in the sequel, enough preparation has been made for the abilities, ambitions, and methods of the Wusheng Old Mother, the audience will not question her qualifications as the final villain.
It is entirely possible to set up Chenxiang to make meritorious deeds in the process of fighting against the old mother Wusheng, benefiting his father, allowing him to become a god in heaven and solve the problem of immortal love.
At the same time, this can also solve the problem of Erlangshen's character. In the original setting, Yang Jian is a positive character who looks like a villain, but is actually a good-intentioned character.
In the new changes, there will be no adjustments in this aspect, allowing him to pretend to join the hands of the dead mother during the confrontation with his nephew, positioning him like the Half-Blood Prince in Harry Potter Same.
Then Yang Jian played a role at the critical moment and cooperated with Tianting to successfully suppress Wusheng Old Mother.
It just so happens that Mr. Yang is also a mixture of god and mortal, so they are a perfect match.
The book "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" was only released in 2005. Chen Linfeng is not worried at all about being accused of infringement or plagiarism.
The most important thing is that Sun Wukong has to have the same character as the wise and wise Fighting Buddha in the sequel to Journey to the West. This will make the audience feel that this is a companion chapter or extra chapter to the sequel to Journey to the West. .
The sequel to Journey to the West can be said to be related to the original Journey to the West, but it can also be said that the relationship is not that big.
The Sun Wukong in the sequel can be completely regarded as a character in the new story series. The new story triggered by this, as long as the character remains unchanged, the audience will think that it is the same person.
Of course, it would be best if Zhang Lingtong could also be invited to star.
At present, it is impossible. Actor Ding Jian is ready.
In short, the principle is to do everything possible to make the audience feel that our lotus lantern is another story that happened in the post-quel world.
It takes place after the Buddhist scriptures are obtained and before Wutian conquers the Buddhist world. The plot and characters of the story are all related to the sequel to Journey to the West.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to learn Marvel’s linkage style, so that the audience can start from familiar characters and have certain emotions for the new drama innately.
After finishing the whole series of stories, Chen Linfeng's mouth felt dry and he stood up to pour some water. Yu Shengming sat far away, thinking carefully about what Chen Linfeng said just now.
These words made him feel a little excited.
If it was just good at the beginning, even if the content and logic were improved compared to the original script, it would not be enough to impress him.
Because of such a major script change, it can be said that it has reached the point of breaking the bones. The entire shooting plan will have to be overhauled, new actors will be invited, and the producers and investors will eventually have to be notified. Company, this is not something that can be changed just by changing it.
However, what Chen Linfeng mentioned about linking up with the sequel to Journey to the West and creating an entire continuous world view really moved him.
The sequel to Journey to the West, as the most important work in his career, really plays a decisive role.
At the beginning, he had the intention to make a sequel or a prequel, but the several scripts written by screenwriters were very poor. It was better not to make it, otherwise it would damage his own reputation.
Who would have thought that here at Baolian Lantern, I would hear the possibility of contacting the sequel to Journey to the West.
According to Chen Linfeng's idea, the follow-up can be extended to continue filming the stories of other mythical characters, and then use the Monkey King or Yang Jian who appeared in the previous film, and the overall framework and context are already there.
Not only that, if the plot and characters can be linked, the promotion this time will be much easier.
This is the companion chapter to Journey to the West, and that’s enough.
Just these words, it would have been better if I had told him two months earlier.
Chen Linfeng was drinking water himself and pushed him a glass.
Yu Shengming was just thinking and didn't pay attention at all. He kept banging his hands on the table, unable to make up his mind.
Chen Linfeng drank a glass of water, but still felt it was not enough, so he reached out to get another glass.
"Huh?" Yu Shengming noticed his actions and glared, "How can you drink the water you poured for me! Go and pour it yourself."
This is a great writer Pour the water!
Chen Linfeng had no choice but to pour another glass of water, when he heard a "pop" sound.
Yu Shengming slapped his hand heavily on the table,
"Done!"
He immediately walked towards the door. Before leaving the door, he turned back and said, "Keep my water for me. Come back and continue drinking."
Chen Linfeng Speechless.
......
On the morning of the second day, the original shooting plan was stopped, and there was a lot of discussion within the crew.
Shu Chang came over and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Feng, do you know what happened?"
Chen Linfeng was about to explain when he suddenly saw Yu Shengming coming out from a distance and waving to him.
He had to say, "The director called me and I will talk to you later."
Then he hurried over.
Yu Shengming's face looked a little tired, but he seemed to be in a good mood.
He patted Chen Linfeng on the shoulder and said, "Producer Li, the producer, and the screenwriter are all here. Come and have a chat with me."
Chen Linfeng followed him into a meeting room in a hotel not far away. In the living room, several middle-aged men were sitting around on the sofa smoking.
The person sitting in the main seat has a delicate beard on his face, wearing dark business attire, and looks like an elite.
I just saw the two people coming in, and I was the first to speak up, "Xiao Chen, you really gave me a big problem this time."
The first order was 1150, just in time for follow-up reading The data multiplied by the data are consistent, so it is considered good or not bad. As mentioned before, add one update
