Minglong Youth: Shared House with Cheng Yushan and Bian Xiaoxiao

Page 145

Netizens didn’t have much expectations for the courier theme, and they all came for Zhou Chen. However, with Zhou Chen giving himself such a name, it attracted a lot of attention.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhou Chen continued to write,

“College student Zhang Chulan was originally a nobody, but at a college ceremony, a sudden phone call brought a ripple to his ordinary life. His grandfather’s grave was robbed!”

“Under One Person” is not an ordinary urban workplace drama, but a fantasy cultivation drama with an urban background. The characters in the drama are all able to practice secret techniques and do things that ordinary people can hardly do.

Both current audiences and netizens originally thought that Zhou Chen would write about the daily life of a courier company, and judging from the name “Narrative Through”, it is very likely to be a light comedy.

But at this moment, everyone was stunned when they saw that the protagonist’s grandfather’s grave had been robbed.

“My goodness, what has Zhou Chen come up with?”

“The theme is about couriers, how did it get to the topic of tomb raiding?”

“Could it be that his courier specializes in delivering corpses?”

Even Yi Yangmou, who was sitting on the mentor podium, and director Niu Yuntian, who was in control of the entire show not far away, couldn’t help but be dazzled at this moment.

Especially director Niu Yuntian.

He limited the profession because he wanted to make a freak like Zhou Chen appear relatively normal. He thought that the role of the courier could greatly restrict Zhou Chen’s performance, but he was also worried that Zhou Chen would not be able to write anything interesting.

But at this moment, seeing that tomb robbery occurred at the very beginning, Niu Yuntian couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Good man, I thought about it over and over again and finally came up with this idea. Is Zhou Chen going to make crazy attempts on the edge again?

Just when everyone was full of questions, Zhou Chen also started to set up the characters and cheat codes.

Although this anime is not long, each character has a distinct personality, and the techniques mastered by each person, or each force, also have their own unique characteristics.

To be honest, this anime is undoubtedly successful in terms of character design and world view system design.

Feng Baobao: His origin is unknown. He is an employee of Nadutong Company. He possesses special skills and is very powerful.

Wang Ye: Little Taoist priest…

Zhou Chen briefly introduced the main characters in the early stage of the animation.

Then, the eight strange skills were also explained, such as Tongtian Lu, Fenghou Qimen, Juling Qianjiang, etc.

Looking at the densely packed settings on the writing board, Peng Peng, who had originally looked nervous, was now filled with astonishment.

My goodness, I was supposed to write about a courier, but now it’s about tomb robbers and Taoist skills. What… is this about?

At this moment, the online audience were all dumbfounded.

“I knew that Zhou Chen would not write an ordinary courier story!”

“So, Natutong is a courier company on the surface, but in fact it is a special organization composed of these kinds of people?”

“Wow, this world setting alone is very interesting!”

What they feared most was that Zhou Chen would follow the routine and write an ordinary story, which would be acceptable but not good.

But now, Zhou Chen has only written out part of the settings, and a brand new urban cultivation worldview has appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Just imagine that the ordinary city life suddenly turned into a world where extraordinary people could fly and hide underground. What a strong impact the picture would have!

After Zhou Chen finished writing these settings, the ideas in his mind finally became clear. He turned to the computer and started writing the episode plot.

The original “Under One Person” had a very good plot in the first two seasons, starting from small to large, from point to surface. As the story progressed, all the characters and forces involved in the Jiashen Rebellion appeared one by one, and the whole story became exciting.

Zhou Chen humbly accepted all of these.

As expected, as Zhou Chen’s story progressed, the audience watched the protagonist suddenly transform from an ordinary person into a chosen one, and watched the protagonist walk into Longhu Mountain and participate in various competitions, and they all became excited.

Even those screenwriter contestants who had been eliminated were holding their phones and watching the live broadcast.

Before this, although they knew that Zhou Chen was powerful, they did not expect that Zhou Chen was so powerful.

“A courier can be written like this by him.”

“I lost to him, and I accept it wholeheartedly!”

“It’s really amazing that such a grand world can be created in such a short time!”

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

The audience doesn’t care how your script is written, their only requirement is that it is novel and interesting.

But only the screenwriters who work hard on their creations know how difficult it is to achieve what Zhou Chen has done.

A wonderful story is inseparable from characters, plot and background. No matter which element, if you want to set it up perfectly, you need precise logical reasoning and continuous improvement, which is the most challenging for the author.

Normally speaking, it is already very difficult to focus on one exciting plot within three hours.

As for Zhou Chen, the setting of these three elements is perfectly logically consistent, reasonable in setting, and has a strong sense of contradiction and conflict.

If a screenwriter like this doesn’t take the top spot, who will?

Seeing Zhou Chen writing with great enthusiasm, the eliminated contestants suddenly found it a little ridiculous that they had been serious and even put all their efforts into writing the scripts in the first two episodes.

In front of the giant Zhou Chen, they are just weaklings fighting each other.

Chapter 230: Damn, another runner-up?

Time passed by minute by minute. Although the Internet was very lively, it was eerily quiet for the contestants on the scene.

Their brains are working at high speed. After all, if they are distracted for a moment, what they write may not be the original one.

At this moment in the room, director and screenwriter Wang Qiang was also concentrating on creating their script “The Hunt”.

Wang Qiang was originally best at writing youth romance dramas, and this was his first time writing this kind of urban workplace drama.

No, to be precise, the plot of headhunting is equivalent to a political drama.

Not only does he need to write about the workplace characteristics of various companies, but he also needs to write about people’s intrigues and various desires. In short, the difficulty is extremely high.

But Wang Qiang is very confident about his script.

On the sofa not far away, actress Song Yafei was pretending to watch Wang Qiang’s creation very seriously.

To be honest, many people think that Song Yafei’s acting skills are very stiff, but in fact, Song Yafei just found a role that suits her, and the script is the most annoying thing for her.

She had been a poor student in elementary school, and she felt a headache when looking at the densely packed text.

But there is no other way, it is live now, in order to maintain my image, I have to pretend to be watching seriously. Otherwise, how can I be called a qualified actor?

“Okay, it’s game time!”

Soon, three hours passed and the host Bingbing’s voice was heard.

The contestants had no choice but to stop writing and all appeared on the stage.

When the host interviewed the contestants about their opinions on their scripts as usual, when it was Wang Qiang’s turn, this guy was still full of confidence.

“This headhunting-themed script is my first attempt and it is very challenging. But I think it is also the most satisfying work I have written in all my years as a screenwriter. I think if it is made into a TV series, it will be very exciting!”

Wang Qiang said with a smile.

Haha, having been in the film and television industry for many years, he knows clearly that the market for urban workplace dramas has been very hot in recent years. As long as the script is well written, achieving results is not a problem at all.

Although the subject of headhunting has not been filmed in China yet, Simida and Xiaoyinghua already have experience to draw on.

Many of his ideas today are to slightly change several foreign headhunting themes, turning them into plots that suit domestic conditions, and adding them into the script.

With such a reference, he naturally became more confident.

“So, what about you, Zhou Chen!”

Host Bingbing handed the microphone to Zhou Chen again.

It is not difficult to find that, judging from the barrage of comments projected on the live broadcast screen just now, the audience is obviously also very much looking forward to this new drama created by Zhou Chen.

“I think we should just play it normally.”

Zhou Chen shrugged and said with a smile,

“In fact, this novel I wrote, Under One Person, can not only be made into a TV series, but also into an animation. I personally think it will be even more exciting if it is made into an animation!”

Because Zhou Chen’s script was set according to the length of the animation. If it were to be made into a film or TV series, to be honest, he had serious doubts about the acting skills of many actors and the level of the director.

“cartoon?”

Wang Qiang, who was standing aside, twitched his mouth.

I’m dying of laughter. Today’s drama is about urban workplaces. Everyone knows that realistic themes like this are the most exciting, because they are down-to-earth. What the hell are you shooting anime for?

However, before he could express his thoughts, he heard the voices of two screenwriters coming from the tutor’s podium.

“Don’t mention it, this drama is indeed quite suitable for anime.” Yi Yangmou nodded in agreement, “Everyone can see that although Zhou Chen is good at writing stories, I think his setting of the world view is even better than the wonderful stories. To be honest, there are many restrictions for such a huge world view in a TV series, but there is no need to worry about it when it is made into anime!”

Moreover, Zhou Chen’s words reminded Yi Yangmou that with the same huge world setting, perhaps “Ever Night” is more suitable to be made into an animation.

“Whether it’s animation or television, the core is still the story and the characters.”

Screenwriter Gao Datang, who was sitting next to him, smiled and nodded.

“Compared to other settings, I prefer Zhou Chen’s portrayal of a group of characters. I have to say that every character in Zhou Chen’s “Under One Person” attracted me. To be honest, I like the character Feng Baobao very much!”

Wang Qiang, “???”

What the hell? It’s clearly an urban reality theme, so why do these two big names agree so much with Zhou Chen’s words?

What on earth did this guy write?

Just when Wang Qiang was curious, with a command from the host Bingbing, the voting among the on-site and online audiences started again.

Soon, the voting results came out.

Although it was a quarterfinal match, Wang Qiang was not very interested in the scores of other players. He was particularly concerned about Zhou Chen.

This time, the subject matter involved the special industry of headhunting. Moreover, in his opinion, intrigue and deception may be more attractive to female audiences than love. Logically, it should be liked by many female audiences.

However, when the final result came out, Wang Qiang was completely dumbfounded.

The score of “Hunting”, which I put all my effort into, is still below 8.5 points, reaching only 9.7 points, while Zhou Chen’s score is still above points! It has reached points!

Wow, how come the ratings are higher than the previous two dramas!

What…is going on?

He’s just a courier. What kind of wonderful story can he write?

Little did people know that Ever Night is more fantasy-oriented and does not have many female audiences, while Breaking the Ice also mainly targets male audiences. This type of subject matter is not appealing to female audiences either.

But “Under One Person” is different.

This kind of urban fantasy, with a plot that switches back and forth between reality and fantasy, is both down-to-earth and gives people room for imagination. Especially Feng Baobao’s setting, it has not only won the love of a large number of male audiences, but also female audiences find it very interesting.

Based on the fact that both male and female audiences liked the show, not only did the ratings soar, but the number of voters was also higher than the previous two times combined!

“Well, no surprise, congratulations to Zhou Chen for winning first place again!”

“At the same time, we also congratulate the eight contestants who have successfully entered the next round of competition!”

While I was in a daze, I heard the host Bingbing’s voice from not far away.

And the most critical moment has arrived, and it is the investment group’s turn to invest in these scripts.

Wang Qiang’s mouth twitched. Looking at the situation, he could tell with his toes that these investment representatives from various parties would probably invest crazily in Zhou Chen’s script again.

Oh, I’m the one running away again!

Chapter 231 The novel has become popular abroad

Next, without any surprise, Zhou Chen’s “Under One Person” once again took the top spot with a completely overwhelming advantage at a price of 15 million.

Although this price was not as high as the previous script, it was only for the film and television rights. After the auction, the investment group bought the animation rights of “Under One Person” for 10 million yuan.

Calculated in this way, Zhou Chen’s script is far more valuable than the previous two scripts.

Seeing the script Zhou Chen wrote in three hours selling like hot cakes, the screenwriters standing by were so envious.

Alas, as a screenwriter, Zhou Chen is very popular in the capital market.

And what about them?

The scripts they write only sell for a few hundred thousand, or at most a million. If it weren’t for the bonus support from the program production team, they would not be able to compete at all.

Wang Qiang, who served as both screenwriter and director, was so angry that his face gloomy.

I have been in the industry for so many years and I have connections and works, but I have been defeated three times in a row by a rookie!
