Depressive Screenwriter

In this world, although there is Sakurajima, the Meiji Restoration and other things in history naturally do not exist.

So, the historical knowledge in the original Rurouni Kenshin plot cannot be applied.

But this kind of thing is not a problem at all. At least for the Reminiscence arc, the main perspective is on Kenshin Himura and Tomoe Yukishiro. There are plenty of chaotic backgrounds in Sakurajima's history, and Su Yan casually found a suitable template to apply.

At the beginning of the script, a group of robbers were chasing a group of fleeing prostitutes.

And the prostitutes desperately protected the young boy, Shinta, before they died.

"You are still young, unlike us who can choose our future paths. So you can't die now. Live on, work hard to live on, and choose your own life. Live for those who died."

The prostitute said this to the young boy knowing that she would die.

It slightly touched Ikumi Shinozaki.

A kind woman was reduced to a prostitute in this world and was about to be slaughtered by thieves, but before knowing that she would die, she was not afraid, but wanted to protect another young life.

Although this woman has no name in the script. Her ending is also being pierced through the throat by a sword. She is purely a background character.

Ikumi Shinozaki continued to turn the page.

A powerful and aloof man appeared.

He slaughtered the entire group of thieves alone, saving the young boy, Shinta.

He looked at this human slaughter hell, and the character's inner monologue appeared.

"It's a common occurrence. Being slaughtered by thieves is hell, and being sold into a brothel is also hell."

"It's too common... It's like this now, and it will be like this in the future."

"Even if you swing your sword, sometimes you can't save anyone."

The man lowered his head and left. But when he came to this place again the next day.

The little boy named Shinta spent a day and a night.

He had buried all the people in the soil and put wooden tombstones on them.

Including not only the prostitute who protected her, but also the thieves who wanted to kill him.

Ikumi Shinozaki was shocked.

Because of Kenshin's kindness and strength.

The man named Seijuro Hiko renamed Shinta to Kenshin, took him as a disciple, and taught him the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū swordsmanship.

The story of Rurouni Kenshin begins here.

Ikumi Shinozaki continued to read. A man named Kiyosato came to Kyoto, wanting to make a name for himself and then return to his hometown to marry his fiancée.

But at the height of his life...

He encountered the fifteen-year-old Kenshin, who had become an assassin in order to save the world and overthrow the corrupt rulers.

When Kenshin was assassinating his target, he was attacked by the target's guard, a man named Kiyosato.

A scar was cut on his face...

At this time, the script came to Kenshin's memories of arguing with his master, Seijuro Hiko, before going down the mountain.

"If you want to change this world, you must be used by power. I didn't teach you Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū for this," Seijuro Hiko said sternly.

"That's why I need to use this power even more, to protect the people from the suffering of the times," Kenshin did not budge.

The classic lines from the entire Rurouni Kenshin series appeared.

Seijuro Hiko said.

"A sword is a weapon, and swordsmanship is a technique for killing! No matter how beautifully you decorate it, it won't change this fact."

"Killing people to protect people, killing people to let people live, this is the truth of swordsmanship. I have killed hundreds of villains, but they are also people who are working hard to survive in this era."

"When you leave this mountain, you will only be driven by the justice of all parties who cannot tolerate each other, and you will never tire of fighting."

Ikumi Shinozaki's eyes widened.

Good.

What a cool character.

How did he come up with these lines?

Ikumi Shinozaki's emotions were already rippling.

Even though they were just dry words, and there was no character information for Seijuro Hiko, the character's charm was radiating crazily from the lines.

Saying a line about starving people everywhere cannot make the viewer experience the cruelty of the times.

But through the dialogue between this master and disciple, the struggles of the two in this chaotic world are reflected.

Seijuro Hiko tried hard, but found that he couldn't change anything.

His sword can only kill the people in front of him, save the people in front of him, but cannot save the world in front of him!

He doesn't want his apprentice to get involved in this human hell, and only realizes this truth after being broken to pieces.

The memories in the script continue to advance.

"In spring, view the cherry blossoms at night, in summer, gaze at the stars, in autumn, respect the full moon, and in winter, accompany the fine snow."

"With these, the sake... is naturally beautiful."

"If you still don't think so, then it can only mean that you are sick!"

Seijuro Hiko's famous lines came out frequently.

However, Kenshin still did not waver.

He and his apprentice Kenshin parted ways because of their different beliefs.

Ikumi Shinozaki was already a little stunned.

Can this script be so artistic and philosophical?

The writing is beautiful, and the reasoning is sincere.

The memories in the script end.

A long time has passed since the assassination that night ended.

The scar on the protagonist Kenshin's cheek has not healed.

It always bleeds suddenly.

Superstitious companions told Kenshin that it was probably injured by a sword with resentment, and if the resentment was not eliminated, the wound would not heal.

The script of the first episode of Rurouni Kenshin came to that small tavern, that rainy night.

Tomoe Yukishiro, the fiancée of the man named Kiyosato who was killed, also came to Kyoto where Kenshin was.

People who can never be assassinated.

Increasingly numb heart.

The script does not depict what the enemy Kenshin encountered in this rainy night, even he had a hard time fighting, nor does it depict the battle scene.

Those are decided by the martial arts instructor when filming on set.

But in that heavy rainy night, the moment Kenshin cut the enemy in half.

The splashing blood splattered on the white umbrella held by Tomoe Yukishiro, on her white clothes, and on her cold and indifferent face without a trace of fear.

Facing the enemy who killed her fiancé Kiyosato.

The only line of the heroine Tomoe Yukishiro in the first episode appeared.

[You can really summon... a bloody storm!]

Ikumi Shinozaki felt a stabbing pain in her heart when she saw this.

The details depicted in the text script are too few.

There is no blessing of the god-level background music in the original OVA animation.

But Ikumi Shinozaki, who has a strong ability to empathize, has already simulated this scene in her mind.

Blood, girl, executioner, rainy night, hatred...

What kind of story will be performed between the two people who met under the drive of the cruel world?

Putting down the script of the first episode, Ikumi Shinozaki closed her eyes, but her heart was difficult to calm for a long time.

Soon, she opened the script for the second episode.

A long time

The plot of the second episode was cut off when Tomoe Yukishiro and Kenshin left Kyoto and came to the countryside to pretend to be husband and wife. Tomoe Yukishiro followed behind Kenshin, holding the dagger around her waist.

Hinting at her betrayal.

In just two episodes of the script, Ikumi Shinozaki, who has always read scripts very quickly, spent more than an hour reading it.

Reluctant to let go of a trace of detail, repeatedly thinking about it, the whole person was substituted into that bloody era.

At this time, she saw the information attached to the script.

The work Rurouni Kenshin is expected to have four episodes and is planned to be broadcast online on Sakura.com.

"Four episodes?" Ikumi Shinozaki murmured.

In fact, Xia Guo's audience does not like this kind of ultra-short online drama.

Everyone generally likes TV series with a dozen episodes per season.

But the shortcomings of the work's length are not worth mentioning in the face of the absolute quality of the script.

She doesn't know whether such a story will be liked by the audience after being filmed into a live-action drama.

It's just that she likes it very much.

"If it has four episodes, what kind of story will the last two episodes present? Will Tomoe Yukishiro give up her fiancé's revenge and be with Kenshin?"

Ikumi Shinozaki put down the script, looked up at the ceiling and thought.

For this kind of script produced by the station's script department, if the station's producer wants to start filming, they have to contact the other party's screenwriter and then apply to the station for filming funds.

To put it bluntly, if there is a good script, the producer has to discuss it with the screenwriter himself before taking the next step.

"So, what should I do next?" Ikumi Shinozaki said to herself.

Short dramas, the filming funds should not be too high.

Moreover, with her past achievements, it is difficult for the station to allocate too much funding to the projects she proposes.

If it weren't for her mother being a former veteran employee of the station's production department, who still has some connections left after retirement.

If she proposes any new project as a producer, it will probably be rejected by the higher-ups.

But even so, if Ikumi Shinozaki's next proposed project loses money again, she doesn't even have to wait for the company's end-of-year elimination assessment results.

In fact, she can start looking for her next job a few months in advance.

Other TV stations are unlikely to recruit a producer with a three-game losing streak in her career.

Basically saying goodbye to this industry.

Ikumi Shinozaki looked at the screenwriter's information for Rurouni Kenshin.

"Um, it's called Su Yan, right!"

Any suggestions can be put forward, and try to keep up with the reading during the new book period, thank you!

Also, which book friend gave me the monthly ticket!

The page shows that there are 32 votes, but there is no information in the background, I thought it was a starting point robot rewarding me for signing the contract today.

But after thinking about it, it wouldn't give 32 such outrageous votes!

Anyway, thank you to everyone who supported me with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets.
