Minglong Youth: Shared House with Cheng Yushan and Bian Xiaoxiao
Page 136
There is no other reason, the two words “Jiang Ye” always give people more room for imagination.
Under the gazes of countless people, Zhou Chen continued to write a few names, such as Li Yu, the royal princess who married far away in the north, and the guards responsible for escorting Li Yu.
As each character appeared, the audience became confused.
At first people thought it was fictional history, but as time went on, they discovered that people from various religions and sects appeared, and even cultivators of Taoism appeared.
My goodness, what Zhou Chen wrote is not a historical drama at all, it is clearly a fantasy drama!
“I told you, Zhou Chen started out as a fantasy writer. Looks like this is another fantasy drama!”
“However, judging from the setting, Ever Night involves the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. This is the first time I have seen such a setting.”
“Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, each school travels the world, one after another, and there are also masters and senior brothers. I like this setting so much!”
This world is similar to the world Zhou Chen existed in before.
However, in terms of culture, many people prefer Western civilization, and some traditional elements are gradually forgotten.
And with the appearance of these traditional cultural elements of Zhou Chen, combined with the setting of this world view, suddenly, a new world structure appeared before everyone.
This is the charm of fantasy novels.
He opens up a whole new world for you. It seems to be another world, but you can find a strong sense of familiarity in this strange world.
“Teacher Gao, isn’t Zhou Chen’s setting too hypocritical and not grounded at all? I don’t understand it.”
On the mentor stage, actress Song Yafei frowned, looking puzzled.
As a professional actor, she couldn’t stand the awkward skits Zhou Chen filmed, and she had no interest in the fantasy novels that boys liked to read.
Of course, the songs composed by Zhou Chen are still good.
Seeing that Zhou Chen had written so many settings, Song Yafei was confused.
“Haha, Teacher Song…”
The screenwriter Gao Datang, who was sitting in the middle, laughed out loud, his eyes full of satisfaction.
“It’s not just you who doesn’t understand. I guess a lot of young people don’t understand it either. But I’m very pleased that Zhou Chen could write this setting.”
“Our culture has a long history, and many people regard it as dregs and backward. But this culture is already rooted in our blood. If we don’t even want our own culture, then who are we?”
“Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have their backward aspects, but they also have many things worth inheriting and carrying forward. What surprised me was that Zhou Chen would incorporate these things into the script, which I could not imagine!”
Seeing Gao Datang’s affirmation of Zhou Chen, Song Yafei didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Yi Yangmou, who was sitting on the other side, was extremely excited.
“Although I don’t know what Zhou Chen wants to express, I already have a strong feeling that if this drama is made into a film or TV series, it will definitely be a very classic work!”
Yi Yangmou’s voice began to tremble.
“Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are philosophical issues. Zhou Chen was able to integrate the thoughts of these three major schools into the story of cultivation. This is a very creative idea. Wait, I seem to understand what Jiang Ye meant.”
Yi Yangmou was talking and thinking at the same time.
“Just imagine that the sky is about to get dark, or in other words, it symbolizes that a major crisis is about to come. On the eve of the crisis, the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, representing different thoughts and people from different factions, will make various choices that suit their own thoughts. Then, because of their different choices, they are bound to collide and produce different sparks.”
“To go deeper, do you have a feeling that this setting is a bit like us a hundred years ago?”
Many viewers were originally confused. After all, Zhou Chen’s setting was too grand and many things had not yet been written.
But after Yi Yangmou’s analysis, netizens suddenly discovered that the idea of Zhou Chen’s script suddenly became grand and noble.
They seemed to see that as a catastrophe was about to come, all kinds of people with different dreams and ideas began different efforts to save the world.
Moreover, although many people do not understand the profound things of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Legalism, etc., most people can still understand some basic characteristics.
If we could combine these elements, it would be a wonderful world!
While everyone was discussing it curiously, Zhou Chen had almost sorted out the world and character settings of the entire script.
He wanted to write the script directly, but the world was too big and there were too many characters. If he didn’t set it up in advance, things could go wrong at any time.
After finishing the character settings, the writing board is basically full.
Zhou Chen simply opened the Word computer and started writing the plot for each episode.
At the same time, the text on his computer was enlarged and projected onto the big screen.
Episode 1: The princess who was returning home passed by the border town and met the young Ning Que and his maid. Seeing Ning Que making the skinny maid do all kinds of hard work, the princess couldn’t stand it…
Episode 2: …
As Zhou Chen wrote the plot episode by episode, a vivid world was presented to everyone.
The story begins with the princess returning home, and the protagonist, in order to stand out, plans to use the military’s recommendation to go to the capital to take part in the imperial examination.
From the perspective of the princess, the protagonist Ning Que also emerged from one accident after another, showing extraordinary fighting ability, which attracted the attention of the princess, a big figure.
The story of Ever Night has a relatively slow pace in the early stages. Even though Zhou Chen cut some of the content, it is still boring for many people.
So, as time went by, many people moved to other live broadcast rooms.
After all, there are many talented screenwriters participating in the script competition.
“I like Wang Qiang’s “Let’s Watch the Meteor Shower Together”. It’s so romantic!”
“Although the plot is a bit stupid, isn’t that what youth is all about?”
“It reminds me of the romance of my youth. This is a good subject!”
Many viewers, especially female viewers, were more interested in love themes, so they soon flocked into Wang Qiang’s live broadcast room.
As for Zhou Chen, apart from some of Zhou Chen’s die-hard fans, such as Doupo fans, there are not many new people coming in.
However, when Zhou Chen wrote that the male protagonist Ning Que was not the abandoned young master, but just a servant beside the young master, many viewers were stunned.
Chapter 215: Continuous Reversal
“Oh my goodness, I thought it was a traditional abandoned young master returning to show off and slap his face, but I didn’t expect the hero to be just an ordinary servant’s son!”
“Zhou Chen’s design is really unexpected!”
“The design is very good. Kings and generals are brave, but why should servants only be replaced? This setting is great!”
Because of Zhou Chen’s deliberate guidance, many people thought that this was a story about an abandoned young master who returned to the capital to seek revenge. But as the story was being written, a big reversal occurred.
The male protagonist is not a young master at all, he is just an ordinary servant.
This setting also explains why the protagonist, who is very smart, cannot practice cultivation. It turns out that this is just a story about an ordinary person practicing cultivation.
When Zhou Chen read the book Ever Night in his previous life, he was attracted by the author’s various ideas. Every key plot was always unexpected and enlightening.
It can be said that it was truly achieved, unexpected but reasonable.
Many scripts and novels often start strong but end weak, but Ever Night starts weak but ends strong, and the story and characters become more exciting as the story goes on.
No, it actually started high and ended high, but many people have not yet adapted to this story setting.
At this time, Zhou Chen was getting into the mood and had long forgotten about the script competition. He was completely immersed in the story.
From the story on the second floor of the academy, to the battle with a group of world travelers, to Sangsang’s dark transformation, every plot is wonderful and always gives people an unexpected sense of surprise.
And when Zhou Chen wrote about the Master ascending to heaven and Liu Bai’s battle with the sky, he displayed an unprecedented grandeur and magnificence.
“Oh my god, if this drama were written into a novel, it would definitely be a hit.”
“I think it’s better than Doupo.”
“I thought Zhou Chen was only suitable for writing amateurish articles, but I didn’t expect he had such a creative mind.”
“It’s so exciting, I can’t think straight anymore!”
“The Master didn’t die, he just turned into the moon in the sky. This setting is amazing. It seems to correspond to the theme of Ever Night!”
“I am invincible in the world. If I don’t fight against God, who else can I fight? How passionate!”
At this moment, Zhou Chen had no idea that more and more people were pouring into his live broadcast room.
There is no way. As more and more plot twists appear, netizens’ discussions become more and more intense. Many people even begin to speculate on the direction of the story.
But every time they thought they had guessed right, Zhou Chen could always write a plot that was incredible but very reasonable to them.
So, netizens began to forward it crazily.
Compared with the trivial love stories written by other screenwriters, Zhou Chen’s Ever Night is obviously bigger in scale and more attractive.
Even Yi Yangmou and Gao Datang didn’t bother to say much at this moment. They all frowned and watched Zhou Chen concentrate on writing. They were also very curious about the final outcome of this story.
“How did he manage to portray so many wonderful characters in just two hours?”
The famous screenwriter Gao Datang frowned.
What he is best at is writing group portraits, but group portraits are the most difficult to set up.
Because many characters have to be found in reality. Only in this way can they stand on their own feet and make the audience feel real.
But Zhou Chen’s drama is a fantasy drama, and every character is fictional, but this time they are portrayed vividly.
Yes, he could find familiar figures in everyone and always felt like he had seen them somewhere before.
“Yes, Master, Jun Mo, Bu Qi… many of them are Confucian classics. He was able to adapt them and make them the settings of his novels. It is really amazing.”
Gao Datang was extremely shocked. It was hard for him to imagine that such a complicated setting would be seen on a young man who was less than 20 years old.
Moreover, Zhou Chen’s ability to control the story is rare.
“If it were made into a TV series, it would be really good!”
“But this is a huge test for an actor.”
On the other side, director Yi Yangmou couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.
Over the years, he has read many scripts, but most of them were mediocre and boring, which made him have no urge to continue filming.
But the story that Zhou Chen was presenting now made images constantly surge in his mind, and a grand and philosophical world had been constructed.
Yi Yangmou knew that if it was filmed, it would definitely be very exciting!
As time passed, many screenwriters had completed their work and stopped.
Wang Qiang stretched lazily and was very satisfied with the story he designed.
When he saw the title “Night”, he brought out the love story that had been brewing in his mind for many years.
Yes, nowadays most of the people who watch variety shows or TV dramas are girls, and for girls, the most attractive thing is nothing more than the love between men and women.
In this regard, Wang Qiang dares to say he is second to none, and no one dares to say he is first.
“If this drama doesn’t win first place, it would be a shame for all the years I have been preparing for it.”
Wang Qiang thought secretly in his heart.
At this moment, he didn’t know that as more and more people discussed Zhou Chen’s Ever Night, even the female audiences who originally liked to watch love stories all flocked to Zhou Chen’s live broadcast room.
“It’s the first time I’ve read this kind of story. I have to say, it’s quite exciting.”
“Wow, the scene is getting bigger and bigger, the whole world is attacking Tang, it feels full of history!”
“Sangsang’s setting is very creative!”
“Haha, Sangsang is the sun. She is dark, so she is also Hades.”
“It’s so funny. The Master asked Ning Que and Sang Sang to get married late. That night, Ning Que broke the sky. I wonder if the Master felt happy about it.”
“It’s really shocking. With just one night’s topic, Zhou Chen constructed a grand world. Thumbs up!”
“I strongly request that this script be made into a movie!”
Wonderful stories often have something in common. With the perfect reversal of foreshadowing one after another, even the audience who were originally not interested in the show, under the influence of others, all became immersed in the world created by Zhou Chen.
No one expected that the protagonist, who was supposed to be a young master, was actually a servant. He, who was originally just a servant’s son, would eventually enter the academy and become Mr. Thirteen.
Of course, what was even more unexpected was that the seemingly ordinary black-faced girl who had always been by Ning Que’s side was actually a big boss. Ning Que and Sang Sang, whose status was heaven, even had a child…
It has to be said that everyone was amazed by Zhou Chen’s creativity.
“Okay, the three-hour writing time is up. Everyone stop writing!”
However, when Zhou Chen was just writing about the plot where all the senior brothers in the academy fought against all the enemies, the time limit set by the program team was up.
