Chapter 046: Adaptation Task

"Old man Ma, what are you busy with? It took me so long to open the door."

After entering Old Man Ma's house, Yan Lin did not treat himself as an outsider. He walked steadily to the water dispenser, picked up a disposable cup, and asked while picking up the water.

As soon as he got off the plane, he came to visit the old man before he even returned to the company and had some food.

Who knew that after he shouted outside for a long time, Old Man Ma came late.

Old Man Ma didn't answer him and said directly: "Come to the study with me."

Yan Lin followed with a puzzled look on his face. As soon as he arrived at the study, Old Man Ma picked up a thick notebook from the table and handed it to him, saying, "This task will be handed over to you."

"What's this?"

Yan Lin asked casually, then opened the book, and soon the five big words "The Great Idle Man of the Tang Dynasty" came into his eyes.

He is not unfamiliar with this name. He remembers that the work of a master writer in Dianniang was this name.

He quickly turned back, saw the familiar names, and confirmed that he was right, and asked, "What's the situation?"

Old Man Ma explained: "This is a copyrighted novel bought by Linlin. She wanted to adapt it into a TV series. She originally wanted me to write the script, but now since you are here, this task will be handed over to you."

The reason why he opened the door for Yan Lin for so long was because he was writing a script.

But after all, he is old and can't keep up with the trend of the times. He has never been exposed to online novels and is not very able to accept this literary form and does not know how to start writing for a while.

Yan Lin happened to come, so he simply handed over the headache to him.

Although it was only a whim to admit students in the universe, after Yan Lin came to him, he did not dare to mislead his children. He carefully taught Yan Lin what he had learned throughout his life.

An excellent director must first be a good screenwriter. How to write a work and tell a good story is also an important part of his teaching.

He believed that Yan Lin had this ability.

Yan Lin was a little confused now.

Lao Thief is a writer he likes very much. His writing style is humorous and witty. He can kill people without paying their lives by laughing.

Yan Lin has read every work of him, especially the hypocrite and this idle man. He has read it several times. He can be regarded as a healing medicine for his mood.

He didn't expect that Ma Lin would buy the copyright of this novel, and he didn't expect that the final adaptation would fall into his hands.

He did not refuse. Anyway, he had just made a temporary decision to return to Kyoto and had nothing to do, which was a very good opportunity for him.

Even if I really can't write well, at worst I can give it back to Old Man Ma. It's just a waste of time and no loss.

Yan Lin was thinking about the plot in the book at this moment, and he had no intention of staying there, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Old Man Ma.

He didn't ask about the actors, and the script has not been released now, so I guess the others would not be arranged so quickly.

Moreover, since this is a scene that the company intends to invest in and shoot, it will not be overwhelming with outsiders. The company is only an artist at the moment. Not to mention the number one brother, even the number one sister is him, so he doesn’t have to worry about not being able to eat meat.

Yan Lin also has a residence in Kyoto, which was arranged by the company for him, in a community with good environment and security.

With his current financial ability, he can't even afford a toilet in Kyoto, let alone buying a toilet.

After taking a taxi back to his residence, Yan Lin started to get busy without saying a word.

In order to facilitate Old Man Ma to read, Ma Lin specially printed out the entire novel, but Yan Lin had read this novel many times and was familiar with all the plots and could not be used at all.

He started writing soon.

When he took on this task, he had an idea in his mind, and he decided to learn from "Qing Yu Nian".

Last year, the drama "Qingyu Nian" became popular as soon as it was broadcast, making it popular all over the world, and it also started the on-demand mode, allowing the two broadcast platforms to make a fortune.

There are many reasons why this drama is popular, such as choosing the right character, the original work has a huge reader base, etc., but the most important one is that the script is well adapted.

Nowadays, many film and television works are adapted from online novels, which seems to have formed a trend.

Many female videos are adapted many mistakes, after all, they are all about love and love, and it is very simple to adapt.

The male frequency is different because it involves a lot and is very difficult to adapt. Most of them are borrowed from a shell. The adapted things have nothing to do with the original work, and it can even be said to be destroying the original work.

Qing Yunian is one of the few film and television works adapted to satisfy the original works.

Although the screenwriter also modified the plot during the adaptation, this is inevitable.

Novels and films are two different cultural carriers. They are expressed in different ways and the effects expressed in different ways.

Many interesting plots in novels may become boring in film and television works, and some cannot even be expressed directly.

A novel can describe a plot in a comprehensive way, but film and television works must be selected.

Therefore, changes are inevitable, but the most core thing has not changed.

On this basis, the screenwriter also incorporated many memes in the process of adaptation. A serious power plot turned into a comedy, making the entire work burst into tears, laughter, and ignite.

So, it's getting hot.

Yan Lin once carefully analyzed the work from the perspective of the screenwriter, and finally he had to admit that this screenwriter is really a genius.

The reason why he wants to learn from the script model of Qing Yunian is that in addition to its popularity, the more important thing is that the novel "The Great Idle Man of the Tang Dynasty" is really suitable for this form.

Lao Thief's works are originally known for their humorous writing styles. Many of the characters he writes are very interesting, which matches the emotional tone of the TV series version of Qing Yu Nian.

Li Su, the protagonist who is stinky and obsessive-compulsive, has a stinky and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Cheng Yaojin, the devil in the world who is disrespectful to the old and the leader of the underworld in the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Zhi, who was nicknamed Wang Shuikuan, was sent to Wang Zhi.

Wang Bao, who can't beat his wife but wants to save face.

Each character has a very interesting side, and it will not be unacceptable to the local environment when adapted.

After confirming the direction, Yan Lin did not delay and kept writing.
