In my days as a farmer

Although he was categorical when he refused before, the director couldn't help stalking, and finally Xia Dongli turned on his laptop and started a video conference with several main creators.

It is actually rare to publish official novels these days, because in recent years, TV dramas have mostly been adapted, which can eat up the IP traffic of novels, and in turn boost the sales of novels.

But "Untitled" uses the traditional script adaptation mode, without the blessing of IP traffic, and it is a big historical drama that teenagers don't like very much. To be honest, no one thought it would be a hit in the early days And red.

This also led to the fact that no one thought about the official novel earlier, but if it is adapted and printed now, and the application number is applied, then by the time the book can be circulated in the market, this wave of enthusiasm may have almost subsided.

Therefore, the director had an idea and came up with an alternative method - not to publish the official original work, but to write a rumor.

At that time, putting the novel on the reading platform and signing an agreement with the platform is also a good way to earn money.If done well, the novel can also become popular in the TV drama circle.

Xia Dongli himself has a bit of a headache. The original book follows the traditional starting point and upgrade flow, and the TV plot starts from an exchange with the historian when the protagonist is about to die. Under such lens language, the protagonist’s youth is also doomed. The era can only be roughly taken, and the focus of the plot is on his youth and adulthood.

If you write a juvenile story, the main plot is the protagonist's family background and schooling path, which is full of plots that seem to be in the second grade now. Does anyone who write foreign faxes like this read it?

The director didn't mean to ask him to sell rot, did he?But he doesn't want to sell rot, although the editing really looks like the two male protagonists are a little different, but as the original author, when he wrote it, his original intention was indeed a historical novel of the male protagonist, and all the characters are very important to him. As far as they are all sons and daughters, he also put affection on the heroine when writing the script...

Therefore, the edited video he saw before made him feel a bit stuck in his throat, and finally he couldn't help but send the link to his director.After their director watched it seriously, he looked at him for a while with a very serious expression, and then sternly accused him: "You didn't watch the drama well!"

Xia Dongli was shocked!Why is this still a backlash?

"If you watch the film carefully, you won't be fooled by this editing." The director said generously, even with a bit of false grievance and disappointment in his expression, "Several scenes in it have been edited, especially The facial expressions are basically all about Zhang Guan Li Dai. Comrade Xiao Xia, I am going to criticize you, and the audience is fine, how could you, as a resident screenwriter, not know?"

Xia Dongli was speechless. What he was watching was the small shots of the audience and not the director. The projected film itself had to be edited. Even the actors themselves might not know how their finished film was. How could they remember so much? a lot!

Moreover, as a screenwriter, he focused most of his attention on the audience's immediate feedback when watching the film, so he naturally didn't pay that much attention when watching the performance...

... Well, he did pay more attention to the bullet screens of sand sculpture netizens. Xia Dongli felt guilty, but he didn't say anything.

"Don't worry, you don't need to sell rot."

The director on the other side of the camera saw him bow his head, and immediately hit the snake with the stick. He waved his hands lightly, and said in a gentle tone: "We are a serious crew. If you write normally according to your angle and character design, just treat it as normal." Juvenile literature, the friendship of JUMP."

The director is indeed a serious person!Xia Dongli, who was fed sweet dates and sticks, was very moved, but he asked a very important question with a serious face: "Director, but I don't know how to write novels."

The question marks on the director's face were about to fly across the screen.

Many people have a misunderstanding between screenwriters and novelists, thinking that the two roles can be switched seamlessly.

But in fact, this understanding is not accurate. A good screenwriter may not be a good novelist, and vice versa.

The biggest difference between a script and a novel is the difference in the target audience: the novel serves the readers, and the author must explain the story clearly; while the screenwriter serves the crew, the director needs to know how to shoot, the artist needs to know how to set the scene, and the costume needs to be Know what kind of clothes you need to provide during the play, and the actors need to know what to say and what emotions to express in this scene.

The novel pays attention to the plot and characterization, playing with words, mainly using "people" to promote the plot, supplemented by psychological description and micro-movement description.And these rarely appear in the script.

Because the screenwriter pays attention to the sense of picture, and text is only a tool to express this sense of picture.

A script written by a novelist can easily appear procrastinated, while a novel written by a screenwriter may be too loose and blank at first glance.

It's not that he can't write, but Xia Dongli is worried that he won't be able to write well.

However, the director showed 100% trust in him: "Don't worry, Xiaoxia, I have already discussed with the website, Boyhood will be included in the light novel."

"What? What is a light novel, you ask? This is a style that has been passed down from Japan. It is different from the main drama. It does not require lengthy psychological descriptions and overly complicated plots. It is a narrative method that tells stories as straightforwardly as possible. It’s a novel that feels like reading a manga, you can read other works first to learn.”

While talking, he read out the names of several novels to indicate that Xia Dongli could refer to them.Xia Dongli frowned and said that he had written it down, then he pondered for a while and asked, "Director, can I write from the perspective of a supporting role when I was a boy?"

There is a character in "Undead" that is Xia Dongli's regret.

This person appeared in the protagonist's youth, and is a role of Bai Yueguang who is both a teacher and a friend.The reason why it is Bai Yueguang is naturally because his appearance in the plot is a beautiful moment in the hearts of the two teenagers, but he got the lunch.

To ordinary viewers, it looks like an NPC who promotes the plot, but when making settings, this person is the central button of a series of plot chains, and is also an important factor in the formation of the protagonist's character.

In the early stage of the script, he appeared as a positive character, but he dug many holes before he died, and these holes became the driving force behind many things in the later stage.But it is a pity that in order to control the space, the setting of this character was greatly deleted in the later stage. Xia Dongli, who was upset, could only quietly insert some foreshadowing and metaphors for this character in the dark.

Then, one day, he was approached by the actor playing the role.

The actor found something strange from the lines.So he approached Xia Dongli in private to ask if there was a second design for the character, and how he needed to lay the groundwork in the early stage.

It is not uncommon for a character to have a second setting, and the reversal is also a major selling point, but how the second setting can make the audience feel vaguely without drawing too much attention is a skill.

Only when the foreshadowing is well laid out can the audience feel refreshed when the plot is revealed later.

After the two discussed it, Xia Dongli felt that this character was more three-dimensional, and it had even come to life on the paper. He was just waiting for him to write and describe him, but it was a pity that he never had the chance.

Since he wanted to write Boyhood, Xia Dongli wanted to start with this character.

After listening to his thoughts, the director thought for a while, and then smiled freely under Xia Dongli's expectant eyes: "It seems that you really like this character, it would be too unreasonable for me to refuse, it doesn't suit me In this way, Xiao Xia, if you can write this character well in the style of light novels, then it doesn’t matter to me.”

Then, he turned a blind eye to Xia Dongli's suddenly tangled expression, and instead said to him expectantly: "Xiao Xia, come on, keep an eye on you."

Sure enough, the director should be blocked. Xia Dongli looked at the screen where the call was unilaterally cut off by the other party and was silent for a moment. He tapped his fingers a few times before finally giving up.He is already an adult, and an adult should bow down and learn to compromise under the pressure of money and mortgages, and can no longer do things based on personal feelings...

Damn, working overtime suddenly is still very annoying.

He clicked on WeChat again, and saw two messages just sent from the other side, [I saw a super nice article "Pretending to be Meow" on Jiujiu Literature City, I recommend it to you (＾－＾).Link] .

Uh, a link also has an emoji, this malicious and cute style is definitely female!Xia Dongli, who used to go to the female channel for work because of work, is very familiar with this style.

He took a breath and clicked on the link, then stared at the Danmei category in a daze for a moment, then silently opened the app to check the bank card balance to encourage himself, Xia Dongli clicked on Chapter 1.

When Xun Yao came out to look for someone, he saw his little boss huddled on a recliner in the yard, holding a mobile phone and watching it fascinatedly, laughing from time to time.

Xun Yao glanced at the courtyard that was no different from last night, then looked at Xia Dongli who was waving his legs and touching the fish, and walked out silently.

After he sprinkled liquid fertilizer on the lush vegetable garden, fished up all the fallen leaves that fell into the small pond, and returned from a run with rice, Xia Dongli on the recliner changed to a side-lying position. He even took a small blanket to cover his thighs.

What remains unchanged is that he is still holding the phone in his hand.

Xun Yao: "..."

He poured someone a glass of orange juice and put it within reach of the young man, and picked up the water hose to wash the cage.

Xia Dongli finished one book and opened another in the pattering sound.

After reading all the tweets with great interest, Xia Dongli announced that he was going to retreat.

The young man fondled the dog's head affectionately and reluctantly, and then handed its furry paws to Xun Yao: "Xiao Yao, I will take care of the house for you!"

After being silent for a moment, Xun Yao silently took over the heavy responsibility of the family.

Rice who was carried over to touch his head: "Wow!"

It's okay, Wang is used to it, every time the master is like this before rushing to draft!Wang doesn't need to take care of me, I can walk myself.

By the time Xia Dongli woke up from the nightmare of rushing to draft, two full weeks had passed.

The website also attached great importance to this cooperation, and they sent an experienced old editor.Under his guidance, Xia Dongli revised the full text of the 6-word short story six or seven times.

After handing over the manuscript, the website editor also introduced his website to him very professionally, and invited him to join the ranks of the website's resident writers.

Xia Dongli's response was that he would think about it carefully, and he put the matter on hold after adding the editor's private QQ.

He didn't directly accept that it wasn't about taking Joe, but he knew that the website invited him now just to make a good sale and get a wave of publicity.

He is more self-aware of his own strength. A novelist who has just transformed from a screenwriter, no matter how talented he is, will have a period of pain, and jumping outside during this sensitive period will only ruin his own brand.Although Xia Dongli has tasted the joy of writing novels, even if he wants to write, he still has to put on his vest and try his hand first.

What a wonderful thing a vest is, you can fly away when you put it on!

Xia Dongli, who crawled out of the hell of drafting, went downstairs while stretching. Now he feels that everything he sees is beautiful.

The sky after the rain is beautiful, and the lush pastures are also beautiful. Of course, the most beautiful thing is the two dogs chasing and playing in the pasture...

Hey, wait, two?

Xia Dongli took off his glasses, rubbed his sore eyes from staring at the screen for a long time, put them on again, and found that the extra bark hadn't disappeared.

Running across the field is a medium-sized yellow dog, and behind it is Xia Dongli's Dami Wang.

Seeing that the dog in front was about to be overtaken by Rice, Xia Dongli, who was afraid that the dog would play high, hurriedly called the dog's name from behind.

The running dog moved its ears and sensitively caught the owner's call. It immediately dropped the prey at its fingertips, turned around and ran towards the owner without hesitation.

Seeing the cute figure of his beloved dog leaving the pasture and rushing towards him, Xia Dongli squatted down without hesitation and was ready to welcome the dog's pounce. I just think how handsome the dog at home looks.

The current rice is not the unhealthy appearance of more than 30 kilograms when it first arrived in Xiaojin Village. It is now in a happy mood, has a stable job, and has also received devil training from Teacher Tutu.He exercises a lot, eats well, and often has extra meals. All the puffy meat on the dog's stomach has been transformed into firm muscles, and his weight has also soared.

Now it is fixed at 40 catties.

So it easily knocked down its otaku master who had become increasingly inactive in the recent stage.

Rice excitedly licked Xia Dongli's face several times, and then whimpered softly with some grievances: "Wow~"

Rice has not seen the owner for a long time, and the owner has not played with Rice for a long time, Rice is so boring!

Its best and most gentle master in the whole world touched his head, stretched out his hand to rub it while softly comforting him.In the warm atmosphere, Xia Dongli suddenly felt a darkness in front of him, and the head of a yellow-furred dog stretched out in front of him.

The strange dog stared at him with a very serious expression.

The author has something to say: Unfamiliar Wang: Stare——
