Feng Hao's nine-day novel (a writer who insists on the original novel of Magic Change)

Although the word IP has only become popular in recent years, in fact, many film and television dramas are adapted from IP novels, such as Dream of Red Mansions (87th edition) and The Journey to the West (86th edition). In earlier years, the martial arts dramas made by Shaw Pictures were all influenced by the original works.

Generally speaking, the plot and logic of IP novels have withstood the test, so they can become IP. For example, Ding Xiao's "Zhu Xian" is meticulous in logic, fluent in writing and grand in world outlook, and Muye Zhang's "Ghost Blowing Lights" series skillfully combines folk customs with anecdotes.

Therefore, IP novels will naturally be favored by writers of film and television dramas. For example, the 14 martial arts novel written by Mr. Jin Yong has been remake for dozens of times, and the Legend of the Condor Heroes alone has seven versions. Although the writers have changed one after another, the theme core, character relationship and plot logic of each version have not changed much. Even so, the audience was dissatisfied with the improper casting.

But now the producers not only can't choose actors, but also let the writers do magic to change the plot. At this time, everyone has to say, "It's embarrassing to refuse to remake and destroy the original." For example, the popular variety show "Actor in Place" put a segment of The Untamed on the stage.

I wonder if the behind-the-scenes screenwriter of this play has read the original? On purpose, he made Lan forget the opportunity to stab Wei Wuxian, and also deleted a sentence: "Which way to stay, which way to betray, is this the promise you and I swear to keep?" .

This design not only violates the original intention of "Forgetting the Machine", but also makes the play look illogical. You know, Lan Forgot Machine will never stand on the opposite side of Wei Wuxian. They are friends and soul mates who transcend gender.

How can I put it? Variety shows are nothing but gimmicks. If we don't have magical changes, we won't attract many people to discuss. But why do other TV dramas want magic change's plot? For example, Xiaoyun's rebirth novel "Phoenix Nine Days".

In Chapter 704 of the original book, the heroine Yao Mouwan was designed by a proper mistress. The book says that people often see her charming little smile, but they can't see the mystery she hides in her eyes. She is a traitor, a former queen who is bent on revenge for herself.

To tell the truth, Phoenix in Nine Days is not a good IP, but Yao Mowan's character of daring to love and hate is the biggest highlight of the whole book. Her cleverness and forbearance also cheered the spectators. Even the male host Jun Qing said, "Few women are as calm as you."

But the screenwriter of the drama insisted on adding amnesia and then reducing Mo Wan's intelligence. She used to play dumb, but now her IQ is fluctuating.

In addition to human design, the plot logic of Phoenix in Nine Days also has many problems. Falling off a cliff, committing to each other, sharing a bed and other routine scenes. Staged in turn. Obviously, the original novel directly cuts into the theme. After this adaptation, people feel slow.

In fact, it is not wrong for the screenwriter to incorporate some plots that the original does not have in the adaptation process. After all, TV plays pay more attention to dramatic conflicts.

Screenwriters like "East Palace" embedded elements of Machiavelli tactics on the basis of sadomasochism, and the first two episodes of the drama version paved the way for the later struggle.

Unfortunately, the writers of "Phoenix in Nine Days" handled it very simply. She completed a prequel with 12 episodes, and then told the battle of the court with 24 episodes. Even if the proportion is uneven, there is still a sense of water injection.

If the original novel of this drama is inherently deficient, it is really the fault of the screenwriter that "Three Thousand Crows" failed to become a classic. This novel is Shiro's masterpiece, and its name is taken from Takayama's novel "Three Thousand Crows Kill All the World, Sleep with Your Majesty till the Dawn", which means to be inseparable from her husband and willing to sleep with him forever.

Qin Chuan, the heroine in the story, is a heartless imperial concubine. On the surface, she is simple and reckless, but in fact, she observes everything keenly. The vividness of the princess of Jiuyun is in sharp contrast with the despair and sadness of the imperial concubine.

In order to let Jiuyun save Qinchuan, the playwright gave up the IQ of Emperor Ji, and the follow-up plot revolved around Jiuyun's rescue and non-rescue, and Qinchuan's love and non-love.

In addition, the ending of the play stunned the original party, and the villain was inexplicably washed away. Qinchuan's revenge became the biggest joke, and the audience also saw a kind of loneliness.

As Xian Xia's cursing sketch, The Three Thousand Crows Kill is not as popular as Colored Glass, and the screenwriter should really be responsible. Obviously, the actors are carefully selected, and the looks and temperament of Zheng Yecheng and Liu Yijun are very close to the original works.

Of course, in recent years, the novels destroyed by writers are not only "Three Thousand Crows", but also "Phoenix Prison Phoenix", which makes fans cry.

It is said that seeing Rong Zhi is a lifelong mistake, but isn't Liu Chuyu's amazing talent exciting? Phoenix Prison is a high-quality romance novel. Although it is a series of books, the characters are vivid.

But in the writer's pen, Liu Chuyu has become a killer Suzaku who knows nothing. Aside from the switch, why is her IQ often off-line? It is a fake princess, but she is unscrupulous, for fear that others will not know that she is fake.

You know, Liu Chuyu in the novel is a shrewd and decisive person. In the face of the person she loves, she will also say, "This love will last for a long time. If you are heartless, I will stop. "

But the TV version has been changed too much, and the plot behind it has nothing to do with the original. The forced palace drama in the Northern Dynasties was also found to be highly similar to the Eastern Palace.

Phalaenopsis's novel "The Road to Awakening in the Sky" cannot escape from the scriptwriter's "talons". The original novel was written by a man, so love is not the main line, and the focus is on the promotion of boys and girls, but this screenwriter has opened everyone's eyes.

First, she changed her personality, then the magic changed to CP, and the heroine Su Tang became a female match. This operation can be called a "model" in magic changes.

However, the original party does not care about the degree of reduction. As long as the plot is reasonable, they can pursue it The early Little Fish and Hua Wuque are the best representatives. Although the plot of the play has changed a lot, and Jiang has become a female villain, Jiang Yuyan, many viewers still watch it with relish. This is because Jing Wong is good at round stalks, so in his logic system, the audience did not appear.

However, it's best for a screenwriter who doesn't have this ability not to try easily, otherwise it will only ruin a play, which is a painful lesson.

This play is based on Li Hu's novel of the same name. The actor Xiao Yan is a waste with excellent qualifications. His sentence: "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river" shows the blood and spirit of young people.

Leo's appearance and age are infinitely close to Xiao Yan's, but the screenwriter just doesn't follow the rules. He didn't construct a world outlook, nor did he convince countless books with the operation of "turning war into friendship".

I'm afraid only "Ancient Love Songs" can match the magic change to this extent. The play can be adapted from the original, but the writer has to act it himself, so you will see the most famous actor in history.

Some people say that "previous screenwriters also love magic, so there is no need to treat them differently." I think it's true. The plots of Xiao Li Fei Dao and Wulin Waishi are far from the original works. Why didn't the audience scold them?

On the one hand, it is because the casting fit is too high, on the other hand, it is difficult to adapt Gu Long's martial arts novels. The original emphasizes artistic conception, while the drama emphasizes the rationality of the plot.

Therefore, the audience will be more tolerant of this IP drama, as long as the theme core and characters remain unchanged, everyone will accept it.

The masterpiece "Seven Weapons Peacock Feathers" is a screenwriter that makes the audience applaud. There is no heroine in the original novel, but the screenwriter has created a heroine, Liu Xing, who writes weakness in her brow and embeds her soul in her eyes.

Liu Xing can be said to be the most beautiful, cool and timid heroine in domestic dramas. Although she has a leading role, she is willing to atone with her life. As said at the end of the play, everyone has to pay for what she has done.

Perhaps Xu Sanguan's integrity, well-designed personnel and general logic are the unforgettable reasons for Peacock Ridge, which fully shows that magic is not necessarily wrong. After the adaptation of the screenwriter, the plot will be more reasonable and smooth, and the audience will naturally join in.

I wonder if those writers felt a little distressed when they adapted it. Anyway, the audience in front of the screen is already tired.
