Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

On Wednesday, when Jing Yuzhai's crew was filming Zuo Wei's plot, they finally received news from Cheng Lie.

"The production of the second season of Chess Soul has been confirmed, and Taili's initial budget is to invest 55 million in Chess Soul."

As soon as Cheng Lie came to the set, he informed Jing Yu who was putting on makeup.

"Are you sure?" There was a hint of joy on Jing Yu's face.

Although this kind of thing goes without saying, as long as Yunteng TV station has no brains, it will definitely agree to this kind of thing, but Jing Yu can be regarded as a big sigh of relief after confirming it.

As for the 55 million investment, compared to the ratings of the soul of chess and the number of performers, it is a little less, but it is more than enough. The TV station is not stupid. Brain to increase investment.

There are no heavyweight movie stars in this drama, and there are no big scenes. In terms of clothing, except for Jing Yu, everyone else only needs to wear formal or casual clothes, and the shooting locations are mostly schools or indoors. Commonly used shooting props are several hundred pieces of chessboards and chess pieces.

The investment of 55 million for the second season of this drama is already exaggerated.

The current Jing Yu is a high-yield, low-investment screenwriter in the senior management of Yunteng TV Station. Compared with those crews who find thousands of extras for a drama and fly thousands of miles for a shot, The cost of Jing Yu's drama is really very cost-effective.

"So, Mr. Jing Yu, you also have to think about where the first season of the play Soul of Chess will end."

Cheng Lie only knew that Jing Yu wanted to make the work Soul of Chess into at least two seasons, but he didn't know much about the specific follow-up plot, so he also reminded Jing Yu.

Hearing this, Jing Yu thought for a while.

Strictly speaking, the original manga of Chess Soul didn’t end normally, because in the manga, there was a plot in which the chess players from the peninsula kimchi country were defeated by the protagonist, and were frantically reported and complained by the people in the kimchi country, and because the author designed Zuo Wei to disappear The plot has caused the popularity of this work to drop a lot. Considering it comprehensively, the work of Qihun was required by the comic serial agency to end quickly.

In contrast, the animation has seventy-five episodes, and the ending is handled very well. When the light grows enough to compete with the light, the story stops abruptly. It does not say the outcome of the two, but leaves an open ending.

So Jing Yu, who was in the pit because of the animation of Soul of Chess at the beginning, was forced to make up for the ending of the comic because of the unsatisfactory ending of the animation.

But no matter what, Jing Yu still intends to shorten the work of Qihun to about two seasons, that is, to control it to end within 26 episodes.

Because some plots in the later period have no effect on the promotion of the main line, those plots should be streamlined appropriately, focusing on making the plots of Jing Guang and Yu Liang’s professional Go journey more coherent. Of course, the number of episodes is limited, but each episode is only as long as Jing Yu You can adjust it by yourself. Forty minutes to an hour is actually fine. Although it is said to be streamlined, it will not be too much. Considering the popularity of Qihun, the TV station would like to have a longer episode of Qihun in the evening time. Sell ​​a few ad slots.

"I understand." Jing Yu nodded.

"What's more. After today's filming is over, there will be no role for you, Mr. Jing Yu, in this week's drama shooting. In the next two days, Mr. Jing Yu can enjoy himself in Shanghai. Wait until Friday night, Someone will go to your residence to help you do your makeup, and then on Saturday, the exchange meeting held by Qimu Sports will officially start at 8 am, Teacher Jing Yu must be ready." Cheng Lie said.

"Understood." Jing Yu let out a long breath.

"I can't help but waste two days to go to the event site to be a mascot. I know, I don't need to remind you repeatedly."

"Mascot? That's not the only thing." Cheng Lie looked at Jing Yu and smiled.

"Although the organizer of the event wants to rely on Mr. Jing Yu's popularity to increase the popularity of the event. But Mr. Jing Yu, you also need to consider the situation of our Chess Soul crew itself."

"What do you mean?" Jing Yu asked.

"Although you are just an actor, Mr. Jing Yu, you are the invincible Zuo Wei in the hearts of the audience, and you still go to the scene dressed as Zuo Wei. If you lose easily, the fans will be sad."

"Eh..." Jing Yu was taken aback when he heard the words.

Indeed, he is not cosplaying Sakai Fujiwara, the work of the soul of chess, from the first episode to the present, even in the next five, ten, or twenty years, all fans only need to think of this character, first of all It was Jing Yu's face that emerged.

He, in the minds of Da Zhou audience, is Zuo Wei.

He could imagine that if a person who always thought he was a leftist was mercilessly tortured by various people at a Go exchange meeting, it would be a blow to the fans of Go Soul.

"But if I remember correctly, this event seems to be a two-day game after inviting a bunch of people. You will always lose!" Jing Yu had a strange expression.

Instead, he exchanged a great gift package of Go playing skills from the panel. He basically understood that his current Go level is very good, but how strong, who knows?

Anyway, the organizer invited dozens of people to go, and one or two of them are definitely top players in the chess world around the world. They also invited the official media to broadcast live. Make yourself the best in the world.

When you meet a top chess player, there is a high probability that you will lose, right? I haven't played against those people, and Jing Yu doesn't know too well, but all in all, I must be mentally prepared for this.

"Losing is definitely inevitable. Two Go players with 9th dan, and four Go players with 5th dan to 8th dan are included among the 64 invited participants. The outcome of the game is binary. Two days against six games, Compared to the third game, there are only eight players left. There is a high probability that six professional players and two passers-by exchange meeting personnel will be playing. By the fourth game, there should be only four professional players left. So basically as long as you can win two out of six games and make it to the top 16, I believe the fans of Chess Soul will be satisfied. If you can win three games and get into the top eight, then Mr. Jing Yu, fans will definitely I adore you, cheer for you, and I'm sure the official media will focus on reporting this matter, and we, Yunteng TV, will also set aside a special time to broadcast your game live, so as to attract popularity for the drama "Soul of Chess" Cheng Lie said with a smile .

The point is to be stylish!

The Go drama on our TV station is very sophisticated. It’s not about blind Beda playing chess in the drama. The scriptwriters of our station are all professional chess players. Fans of the soul of chess, enhance the force of this drama.

"You put it lightly, what if I don't win a game of chess?" Jing Yu rolled his eyes.

"How is it possible? Teacher Jing Yu, you won fourteen chess games in a row with our consultant Li Le. Li Le is a professional five-dan. Teacher Jing Yu, if you can win so many times in a row, you must be at least one-dan stronger than him." Then how could it be possible to lose the first round?" Cheng Lie said.

"What if we meet those six professional chess players at the beginning of the game? For example, one of the two 9-dan players?" Jing Yu said.

"Mr. Jing Yu, try to play as many moves as possible when playing chess with them. It's best to play more than 200 moves. I will arrange it when the time comes!"

"Shocked!!! Jing Yu, the gold-medal screenwriter of Yunteng TV, fought more than 200 hands with a professional nine-dan chess player. He once pushed the opponent into a desperate situation, but because of his experience in chess, he was not as good as a professional chess player, so he lost."

"I've already thought about the title. If it's as you said, this press release will be broadcast on Yunteng TV's news program." Cheng Lie read out a long paragraph in a serious manner.

Jing Yu fell silent when he heard that.

"It's a pity." After a long time, Jing Yu said in a strange tone.

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity that Dazhou doesn't have a mobile browser software called uc."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"How hopeless it is to be a film and television producer! Producer Cheng, you can go to the UC Shock Department to apply for a job as an editor!"

"???", Cheng Lie.
