Chapter 325 Wei Yang's Original Screenplay - "Yellow Turban"

"Celebrating More Than Years" Crew, Dressing Room

Wei Yang held a book in his hand, and while he was reading it, he waited for the makeup artist to put on his makeup. Li Jiahang came in swaying and sat down beside him.

"I saw a few reporters just now, they seem to be from CCTV, looking for you?"

"Chong Shi Shi, an exclusive interview."

Li Jiahang understood that if he could let the people from CCTV go there in person, the entire crew was only Wei Yang, Chen Baoguo and a very small number of people, and now there was another Liu Shishi.

"What are you looking at?"

Without talking about this issue, Li Jiahang tilted his head and looked at the cover of the book in Wei Yang's hand.

"Three Kingdoms... Fuck, you want to shoot Three Kingdoms?"

Li Jiahang is excited, man, who doesn't have a dream of the Three Kingdoms, the four classics are super IP, and Wei Yang is a top screenwriter, who in the circle will not be excited when they hear it.

"Don't get excited, I'm just killing time."

Wei Yang closed the book, but he was not surprised by other people's associations. His identity is too sensitive, no matter what book he is reading, if someone finds out, he will immediately open his mind.

Wei Yang posted a photo on Weibo before, which was originally a photo of his daily work, but in the corner there was a mystery novel he used to pass the time.

Later, he was discovered by Leeuwenhoek's fans, and he directly passed on that he wanted to develop the novel as a new project, which increased the sales of the novel a lot. If Wei Yang hadn't clarified it quickly, someone would have won the film and television copyright.

This is the appeal of top screenwriters + adaptors in the industry!
From the perspective of the outside world, Wei Yang is a god-man who has directly leveraged the great development of the entire online literature industry with his own power.

After dramas such as "Celebrating More Than Years" and "East Palace" became popular, the market value of companies such as Shanda Literature and Jinjiang Literature soared, and the copyright prices of online literature doubled. The end of the Internet giants.

According to industry rumors, Penguin has recently launched its own online novel website, and Baidu has confirmed that it is about to acquire Perfect World's Zongheng Chinese website.

There is one thing to say, Wei Yang is somewhat "back the blame" for this matter.

The entertainment industry is developing rapidly, and the giants have long thought about it. Even without Wei Yang, the original time and space would have made moves in the past few years, but now because of Wei Yang, it is slightly ahead of schedule.

But in any case, the online literature industry has indeed changed a lot because of Wei Yang, and even many people in the industry think so.

A single drama can shake up an industry, and the value of the projects in hand can easily reach hundreds of millions. Wei Yang is now regarded as the God of Wealth in the eyes of some people.

Ordinary mystery novels can make such a big noise. If Wei Yang wants to say that he wants to film the big IP of the Three Kingdoms, he doesn't know how many phone calls he will make.

"Bai is excited, I thought I could get a Zhao Yunyan,"

Li Jiahang was a little disappointed, and Wei Yang laughed angrily: "Play Zhao Yun? Why don't you say you want to play Diao Chan, because I'm really filming the Three Kingdoms, and you are Yu She."

"Yu She, who is it?"

Li Jiahang was stunned, he had never heard of this person, Wei Yang turned a few pages and showed him.

"It's the one who was hacked to death by Hua Xiong. Have you seen "New Three Kingdoms"? It's the hero Liu Sandao."

Li Jiahang: "..."

However, Li Jiahang is still curious about how Wei Yang looks like the Three Kingdoms. Although Wei Yang usually reads a lot of books, this kind of "old books" is rare.

"When I was on the plane, I read an online article about the Three Kingdoms. I thought it was very interesting. I had some ideas, so I flipped through the book."

"What an idea."

Li Jiahang's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously. Wei Yang glanced at the make-up artist, who was considered an old man in the company, plus it was an inspiration, so he shared it without hiding it.

The Three Kingdoms novel he read before was not a traditional Three Kingdoms web novel, but a high-level martial arts novel, probably the kind where counselors call for wind and rain, and generals fight against a thousand.

The level of writing is actually mediocre, but it reminded Wei Yang of "Three Kingdoms of Mythology", and then wondered whether it is possible to engage in similar film and television projects.

Facts have proved that domestic classical myths and history are still very attractive to domestic audiences.

This is also the reason why the themes of Journey to the West and Three Kingdoms emerge in endlessly, and myths such as Fengshen have a large market.

But also because of this, the copyright is not clear, everyone can shoot, and it is impossible to form their own IP barrier advantages.

So Wei Yang wondered if he could change it magically.

For example, a high-war version of the Three Kingdoms forms a unique world background, which is different from ordinary Three Kingdoms themes. This will not only catch the popularity of IP, but also will not be easily imitated by others.

This trick is actually not new. There are too many magical changes in the theme of Journey to the West, and each series has its own unique background, but the Three Kingdoms is still rarely used.

The reason is naturally very simple. The Three Kingdoms is a historical theme, and the basic disk is different. Forcibly integrating mythological and high-martial elements, it may be self-defeating.

When the time comes, fans of the Three Kingdoms will happily come to see it. They wanted to watch the legendary story of the Three Kingdoms.

It turned out that Lu Bu Wushuang mowed the grass, confronted Liu Guanzhang with his big moves, Zhuge Liang turned into a great fire magician, and his combat power crushed the five good generals.

So Wei Yang is just an idea, just chat casually.

If it is really a project to shoot, it will be difficult to change the magic version, the investment is not low, and there is no way to guarantee the market prospect, and it may have to overturn.

Wei Yang chatted casually and didn't take it seriously. There are too many similar situations. A mature screenwriter doesn't have dozens of inspirational ideas, let alone project approval, and none of them can become a script or even an outline.

But Li Jiahang likes this setting very much: "If this can be filmed, I will definitely watch it, how creative it is."

He still had a decent discussion, which made Wei Yang figure out a lot of settings.

"The five tigers will make a set of gold, wood, water, fire, earth + weapons and beasts. Guan Yu's green dragon belongs to wood, Zhang Fei's snake belongs to fire, Zhao Yun's water and white dragon, Huang Zhong's earth tiger, and Ma Chao's golden phoenix."

"Shu Han is the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, Cao Wei has a star system, Dong Wu... tentatively."

"Lu Bu has the blood of a heavenly demon, so he is invincible in the world, and at the same time, he is not tolerated in the world. Doesn't this conflict with Chen Daoao's?"

"Fatalism, a big man's fate is divided into three, the opening chapter is to bury the man in a yellow scarf, and the poor man opens his horns, and the big man is invited to die."

"..."

Wei Yang is unconstrained, he thinks of it as soon as he thinks it, some ideas are quite reliable, some are pure nonsense, but when it comes to the Yellow Turban and Zhang Jiao, he suddenly feels thoughtful.

The familiar historical figures of the Three Kingdoms engage in high martial arts, which is easy for the audience to accept, and the risk is very high.

But Zhang Jiao was born as a Taoist priest, so he has a certain mysterious color. If he improves his martial arts to a certain extent, the public's acceptance should be very high.

Is it possible to use this character as the beginning of Gaowu Three Kingdoms to test the waters?
If the audience's acceptance is high and the fame is established, you can directly use the node of the Yellow Turban Uprising, and then follow the plot to film later.

Besides, even if there is no Gaowu Three Kingdoms series, the character Zhang Jiao is actually quite suitable for making movies.

Wei Yang thinks back to his previous life. Because of part of the setting of the web articles, this character has a strong color of pleading for the people. It is also a key node in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, and its popularity is very high.

Whether it's the setting of Gaowu Three Kingdoms' Taoist Mie Tianming, or in terms of its own history.

A man who was born in a small rich family, became a monk, became a Taoist, spread all over the world, gave amulets to save people, spread faith, gathered millions of people, and the world responded with a call, forcibly ruined the 400-year fortune of the Han Dynasty, and opened the curtain of the Three Kingdoms competition .

The legendary character of this role is by no means inferior to those of the celebrities of the Three Kingdoms, and even because of its shorter length, it is more suitable for film adaptation.

As an excellent screenwriter, when thinking of making a movie with Zhang Jiao as the protagonist, combined with some other settings, a general plot line is already clear.

Regardless of Gao Wu or history, according to the three-stage script, the beginning is the background setting.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial court was imprisoned, and the people suffered many disasters. A Taoist surnamed Zhang learned art from a teacher. Later, he felt that the people's livelihood was hard and the people were in distress. He gave amulets to save people, and even entered the epidemic area alone.

However, learning the Tao can't save a big man. When he realized that the imperial court was corrupt, the powerful gentry was a disaster, and the world and the people were regarded as pigs and dogs, Zhang Jiao was determined to change and preach peace.

However, because of the betrayal of the traitors, they were forced to revolt, and the Yellow Turbans caused chaos in the world. Finally, due to various reasons, they got a tragic ending.

But although the Yellow Turban died, the fate of the court that caused the disaster was not long, and the vitality of the gentry was greatly injured, and everyone knew that the people who were regarded as pigs and dogs would bite people when they were in a hurry.

The tragic heroic characters who sacrificed for the people + the IP of the Three Kingdoms, the arc of the characters, the plot and the climax are clear.

Wei Yang really thinks that this project has something to do.

The Gaowu Three Kingdoms series, to be honest, there are too many things involved, too many things to consider, the future is unclear, Wei Yang is more inclined to talk about it.

But this Zhang Jiao's personal movie, he can still eat it, and he can afford to pay for it if it hits the street.

Wei Yang is a writer, he never shy away from this point, and never thought of giving up this advantage.

But as a professional screenwriter, he still wants to make a successful personal original work from the bottom of his heart.

A completely original story, to be honest, Wei Yang was a little guilty, not because he couldn't write it, but because he was afraid that the quality would be bad.

But it is not completely original. Wei Yang is still very confident in making magic changes and optimizations on the premise of the original story. After all, he has been doing this over the years and has extremely rich experience and excellent ideas.

Wei Yang was so inspired that he even took two hours off to stay in the dressing room and record a lot of thoughts about the movie.

"Yellow Turban"

Wei Yang wrote down the tentative title of the movie, planning to go back and dig up the information, and slowly enrich the script.

For this project, Wei Yang did not say that he was determined to start filming, but he was very interested. But when the project will start, it is hard to say now, but in the short term, there is no need to think about it.

Regardless of whether it contains high-level martial arts elements or not, if you want to shoot a high-quality Yellow Turban Uprising, the production cost will never be low.

At this stage, Wei Yang is still a newcomer to the film industry. Whether he is starring or producing, his appeal is not enough to support a film of this size.

So even if the script is finished, Wei Yang has to wait until a relatively suitable time to promote the project.

Wei Yang has high expectations for the "Yellow Turban" project, two generations, and this is his first original film script that is expected to be released in theaters.

No matter how good the other projects are, they are all adopted or stolen. This is the real son...
