This Is Not a Bug bu Chapter 151 - 121: Film Adaptation (2)

Chapter 151: Chapter 121: Film Adaptation (2)

This is the script’s ending.

The process is quite lodramatic, and the ending sowhat deliberately pleases the audience and reviewers, but I have to admit, such dramas indeed have a market.

Housewives and the elderly love watching this kind of drama! If we were to follow the ga’s main storyline to shoot, it probably wouldn’t work...

So with this adaptation, Chen Ba said he could accept it.

"That’s good!"

Yang Dong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Actually, I also feel this adaptation is sowhat deliberate. But they said, our ga’s main storyline really can’t be shot, and even if it’s shot, it’s hard to pass the review."

"Indeed..."

Chen Ba nodded.

In the ga’s storyline, the early part is fine, but the later part sowhat demonizes the uncle and cousin. Moreover, the story ends as a complete tragedy.

Adapting it, now it’s quite good like this.

Although the happy ending isn’t one of Chen Ba’s favorites, he also admits the screenwriter really put in effort; without this adaptation, it might indeed not be broadcasted.

"What about ’Cold Window Study Simulator’?"

"That hasn’t been decided yet..."

Yang Dong shook his head and said, "They an to first choose the actors and finish shooting ’Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator’, and then consider it."

"Actors?"

Chen Ba was a bit curious, pointing to the core roles in the script and asking, "Have the candidates for these main roles been decided?"

"The actor for the uncle has been decided, a veteran actor who often plays villains. The aunt’s also decided, a certain national daughter-in-law actress."

Yang Dong said with a smile, "The rest haven’t been decided, because they’re also waiting for our ssage; if we don’t agree, how can they find all the actors in advance?"

"Alright, you go contact them."

Chen Ba had no objections; from the choice of the aunt and uncle actors, one can see Haitian is indeed aiming to make this drama well.

As long as there are no young idols.

With renowned actors and national daughters-in-law acting, Chen Ba is quite looking forward to it. Then choosing a reliable young actor to play the protagonist Chen Wei, the drama ’Living Under Soone’s Roof’ is largely settled.

"Tsk tsk!"

Thinking about this, Chen Ba couldn’t help but sigh, "Ga adapted to a drama? There shouldn’t be many such cases, right?"

"There are quite a lot."

"It’s just that, in the past, most ga adaptations to TV were more of genres like ancient costus, fantasy, romance, etc."

Yang Dong explained, "For example, ’Chinese Paladin’, ’Ancient Sword Legend’, ’Xuanyuan Sword’, and so on."

There are many adaptations of fantasy gas; after the dramas are produced, they are quite well-known, and many people have watched them.

Yet, there’s actually another type of ga; the number of adaptations isn’t few either, it’s just the fa is lower, and few know it’s adapted from a ga.

"Orange Light Ga!"

No need for Yang Dong to introduce; Chen Ba has also heard of the renowned Orange Light Ga.

There are indeed many TV dramas adapted from Orange Light Gas, and successful cases are not few. It’s just that in terms of fa, they’re not as famous as ’Chinese Paladin’, ’Ancient Sword Legend’, or ’Xuanyuan Sword’.

’Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator’ being favored by filmmakers and being planned for adaptation into a drama is indeed sowhat unexpected.

Because this isn’t the traditional hot genre for "ga adaptation dramas"; shouldn’t everyone be chasing fantasy, romance, and grand female protagonist thes?

"I found it strange too."

"But I asked them, they said fantasy dramas require large investnts, romance dramas have worn out the audience, so it’s just the right ti to change the taste and make so family ethics drama." Yang Dong explained with a smile.

That can be understood.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ba couldn’t help but purse his lips and said, "Really, ’Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator’ and ’Cold Window Study Simulator’ are quite suitable for the pri-ti show at eight in the evening."

Housewives and the elderly should love this type of drama the, guaranteed to draw all their tears.

They must cry their eyes out!

The pri-ti dramas at eight in the evening are all of these routines and scripts, stirring emotions and conflicts to extract tears from the audience.

"When will it air?"

"Don’t know, next year probably!"

Yang Dong shook his head and said, "If filming starts now, the earliest might be airing in sumr. But if it can’t fit the schedule, it may not air by the end of the year."

"Alright, post a notification on the official website."

After thinking it over, Chen Ba felt this is a joyful matter, and they could promote it through the official website and official Weibo to let the players know about it.

While taking this opportunity to probe other film and television companies to see if there are any "daring" ones, who’d consider adapting ’Star Emperor’ or ’Divine Grace Continent’?

’Divine Grace Continent’ isn’t talked about here.

This one is actually more suitable for animation, and since Divine Grace Animation has a bunch, whether the main body is adapted doesn’t really matter.

But ’Star Emperor’ is feasible!

If Chinese Paladin, Ancient Sword Legend, and Xuanyuan Sword can be adapted, then Saint Sword Emperor can be too, also being a fantasy genre, why can’t ’Star Emperor’ be adapted?

"Forget it!"

Yang Dong rolled his eyes and said, "This kind of fantasy drama needs investnt in tens of millions or even hundreds of millions; do you really think they can shoot it just because they want to?"

"The main cost for fantasy traffic drama should be the paynt; those effects really aren’t worth much, I think."

Chen Ba said indifferently, "I truly think ’Star Emperor’ can be attempted for adaptation, even if we don’t charge a copyright fee."

Let’s see who’s got the guts.

As long as soone dares to ask, as long as soone dares to shoot, Chen Ba can waive the copyright fee, only asking for a proper adaptation.

Not that he’s generous.

The main reason is that the adaptation difficulty for ’Star Emperor’ is high, and it’s a win-win situation. If there’s a lack of investnt, Tianba Studio can even invest a bit.

"That’s tough to handle..."

Yang Dong still didn’t think it feasible, as they know their own business.

"Does ’Star Emperor’ have a storyline?"

"Yes!"

"But that storyline really could be put together casually; back then, he and Chen Ba didn’t put much effort into designing the plot."

"So taking this sowhere for adaptation, apart from the basic character settings and story background, other plots are almost like pure original creation."

"Few people are willing."

"And most importantly, ’Star Emperor’ has too many grand scenes. The ga’s effects are so glamorous, when shooting it into a real-life drama, the effects can’t be worse than the ga, right?"

How much would that cost?

Just thinking about it makes Yang Dong feel that shooting it effectively would definitely cost more than ’Chinese Paladin’, and by quite a bit.

The Chinese Paladin Series doesn’t have that many grand scenes, and even if they exist, the ga itself doesn’t portray them so the audience doesn’t notice the difference.

"Can ’Star Emperor’ work?"

Every grand scene is portrayed in the ga itself using the Dream Building 5 engine, with top-notch industry CG graphics.

How can your drama be shot less exquisitely than the ga’s real-ti graphics?

"True..."

Chen Ba thought it through and agreed Dong was right.

The biggest challenge in ’Star Emperor’s’ film adaptation is sohow "surpassing" the ga itself.

That’s really difficult!

After painstakingly producing the drama, only to be reviewed: it doesn’t feel as awe-inspiring as the ga itself, which no director can withstand.

"Let’s leave it at that then."

"You go notify the players; it’s best if soone asks about ’Star Emperor’; if no one asks, it’s no problem."

Chen Ba thought it over, then said, "If no one wants to adapt it, when we earn big money, we’ll shoot it ourselves..."

Hold on!

If truly no one wants to shoot ’Star Emperor,’ why not invite NVIDIA and AMD, these good brothers, to pool together and make a film?

Old Huang Su’s Mother’s company’s stock price is so high; it’s not without the efforts of Chen; seeing Chen so dedicated, sponsoring a bit shouldn’t be a problem.

But this isn’t urgent.

First, promote the drama ’Living Under Soone’s Roof’ and see if anyone is interested in Tianba Studio’s other gas.

What if soone truly is interested?

Don’t underestimate the Chinese people’s passion for fantasy dramas; the Chinese Paladin Series has thrived for so many years and launched so many stars for a reason.

If a real big spender cos forward, it wouldn’t be surprising, as ’Star Emperor’ isn’t much worse than the Chinese Paladin Series.

The renowned Chinese Paladin Series, even its latest sequel only sells tens of thousands of copies.

Not even reaching 1 million copies...
