In the beginning, I just wanted to make money

In fact, the responsibility of the screenwriters is to help the director clarify the logic...

Because many directors are actually replaced temporarily and do not understand the script.

But this situation does not exist for the crew of "Dragon"...

Among the four directors, if anyone dares to say that he has not watched "Dragon", then...you can get out!

In later generations, the screenwriter circle has its own standards of judgment: most of the teams that need to work with screenwriters are those who have not done enough preliminary work...

Because most crews have basically finalized the script before filming begins.

Even if it needs to be modified on the spot, it's still the job of the actor's own screenwriter...

There are no actors who talk to screenwriters about their characters...

If you want to find one, look for the director!

Shen Xudong…

What an atypical screenwriter!

At first, he felt quite honored. After all, these actors were all quite famous, but after a week... Shen Xudong felt that it was no longer possible.

Don’t you know how to discuss things with pay?

Do you have to come to me after the show?

Do you know this is my private time?

I also have working hours when riding horses!

We can't do this anymore. If this continues, where will Shen Xudong find the time to write?

I finished writing the first two volumes of "Zhu Xian" in half a month. It has been almost ten days, and the third volume has not been finished yet...

Including "Screening Room", the copywriting for the eleventh issue has just begun...

No, we have to think of a way!

Before he could think of a solution, the situation had already eased - the actors were only a minority after all, and they only needed to visit once, so how could they come here every day?

By mid-February, Shen Xudong was finally clean...

Then, "The Best in the World" was officially serialized...

…

The first issue of "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times: Martial Arts Edition" serialized the first three parts of Xiao Li's "Cup of Snow", "Yu Yu Da Jin He", "Standing Cloud", "The Two Discords in the Clan"...

"Snow Cup" was later renamed "Heroes of Troubled Times"...

After that, Xiao Zhen created "Yu Guolao", "Butcher's Knife", "Shang Shang'er" in the series "Ancient Meanings of Chang'an"...

Among them, "Yu Guolao" is the best chapter in my opinion: Please read Chivalry from a desperate point of view!

During this period, Xiao Zhen was the author of "Martial Arts Edition" Carrying the Ding. In addition, there were Yan Leisheng and Fang Baiyu!

Yan Leisheng wrote "The Moon Shines on the Mountains and Rivers", which would be followed by two novels, "Tianxingjian" and "Taoist Wuxin". Fang Baiyu was later poached by another martial arts magazine, "Martial Arts Stories"...

As for Feng Ge, he has to wait a little longer - the prequel to "Kunlun", "The Iron-Blooded Prodigy", won't start serialization until March 2003...

However, last December, Shi Weihan's "Shattering Sky Knife" was published!

Many people praised it and said it smelled like cologne...

Then, in February, "Tian Xia No. 1" was serialized...

"The Best in the World", in itself, organically links the four types of characters in martial arts dramas, from the rivers and lakes to the court, with a high degree of completion.

Cheng Shifei is an adventure type, and he and the princess are happy enemies.

Duan Tianya's character is similar to Yang Guo, from a martial arts fanatic to a love fanatic, and finally found out that the man behind the scenes was his adoptive father.

Guihai's sword is similar to Fu Hongxue's, revenge is in vain, and the person you love cannot be loved.

Shangguan Haitang's character is the most classic Qiao Huangrong + confidante in martial arts novels.

It seems scattered, but there are internal links. The connection points and collision points between Yidao Line and Tianya Line are in Haitang. Although the love triangle is cliché, the plot conflicts are written very conveniently.

The line of right and wrong seems to be the furthest away from the main line, but in the second half, it links Su Xin and Shen Hou.

In the first half, various characters of the four protagonists are created, and the gods who rule the four protagonists are even more wise and powerful.

In the second half, the right and wrong and the ancient three-way connection are constantly used to reveal the wolfish ambition of Shen Hou bit by bit.

Secondly, in terms of character design, "The Best in the World" is consistent with the "core values" of Jin Yong's "Tian Long Ba Bu", that is - all emotions are evil, no one is unjust, the most intelligent will be hurt, and the deepest love will not last long.

Duan Tianya killed his wife and her whole family, and the woman who liked him was killed by his wife.

Guihai Yidao had been in love with Haitang all his life, but as soon as he learned about her feelings, she died. At the same time, he himself killed nearly 100 innocent martial arts people.

Haitang has been in love with Duan Tianya all her life, but was ignored all the time. She was finally moved by Yi Dao, but she had to marry a wealthy man to atone for Yi Dao's sins.

The rich man Wan Sanqian and Shen Tietan Shenhou loved the beauty but not the country. In the end, the beauty was gone and the country was not gained.

Including Cao Zhengchun, the governor of Dongchang, he always regretted that he never really had a fight with Hou, but when he did fight, he was easily killed by Zhu Wuwu.

This drama is comparable even to Jin Yong’s martial arts!

Shen Xudong wrote it in words...

His writing is not bad, but he is weak in terms of rhetorical decoration, but his rhythm control and clear narrative are very good!

In short, once "The Best in the World" was published, the sales of "Martial Arts Edition" increased by 80%...

——It is no exaggeration, the initial sales volume of "Martial Arts Edition" was only about 150,000 copies...

"The Best in the World" was advertised in "China Entertainment Report"...

It is famous in itself.

Even several directors on the crew of "Dragon" know about this. Of course, there are still relatively few people willing to buy it and watch it - how can they have time to watch it?

But Liu Wei has time...

So Shen Xudong's balls ached. After all, the actors didn't come often, and Liu Wei came here every day...

…

"Publishing...it's still early, at least wait until the serialization is completed before we talk about publishing!"

"Didn't you finish writing it?"

"The writing is finished, but the serialization has just begun..."

"When will the serialization be completed?"

"It should be July!"

"Okay, then I'll book a publishing house for you in advance!"

Liu Wei likes "The Best in the World" very much. A few days ago, he pestered Shen Xudong to learn about the follow-up content. Shen Xudong said, "I think the novel should be read serially. Otherwise, the meaning of following up will be lost. Don't you think so?" He dismissed it, and now he says he wants to help Shen Xudong publish...

Generally speaking, magazines have their own cooperative units...

The same goes for "Martial Arts Edition". Since Shen Xudong chose "Martial Arts Edition" to serialize "The World's No. 1", his publishing will follow the "Martial Arts Edition" as much as possible.

Of course, if a publisher offers more generous terms, Shen Xudong is not a fool and will definitely choose the latter...

Of course Liu Wei doesn’t count…

He was bored and forced to find a topic.

In fact, he also has good intentions. He just thinks Shen Xudong is a nice person and wants to get acquainted with him...

But Shen Xudong wants to write something!

Prepare to issue an eviction order: "Brother Liu...伱..."

Before I finished speaking, 'dong dong dong', there was a knock on the door...

Liu Wei stood up immediately: "I'll open the door!"

Then I was a little surprised...it was actually Wang Luyao!

Liu Wei welcomed her in and asked, "Teacher Wang, you..."

Wang Luyao was very generous: "I'm here to see Xudong! I want to hear him talk about Mrs. Wang..."

"Then you guys chat, I'm leaving first..."

Liu Wei stepped out of the way and closed the door thoughtfully...

Shen Xudong also quickly stood up and gave Teacher Wang a cup of tea: "Teacher Wang, why are you here at this time?"

"What, did it delay your nightlife?"

"No, Brother Liu is going to take me out..."

Wang Luyao rolled her eyes at him: "What are you going out for?"

Shen Xudong didn't say anything, and Wang Luyao continued: "I'm telling you, don't fool around with Liu Wei... He is quite unruly in his private life..."

I really didn't fool around with him...

Wang Luyao took a sip of tea and then asked: "Is this a melon slice?"

"Yes, I brought it from my hometown..."

"Your hometown? Your hometown, Liu'an?"

"No...it's Hefei, very close to Lu'an..."
