Chapter 348: Not Saving Her, But Using Her

Jiang Baige cursed Ge Hongjian's ancestors in her heart, but she couldn't show any unhappiness on her face.

In a flash, she understood.

Ge Hongjian didn't have the complicated thoughts she had thought before, such as whether to respect the original work or to cater to the needs of the market and the audience. His thoughts were simpler and more crude.

Once he paid the money, he would use the person who collected the money to the fullest extent.

A typical capitalist face.

As for whether this person is a screenwriter, actor, assistant, or the original author of the novel... it doesn't matter at all.

However, Jiang Baige also had his own plans.

Now she is a fledgling young author, and if someone can buy the copyright, no matter how much it costs, it will be a start.

But there are good and bad beginnings.

If this start is not good, then even if she returns with an adapted drama, she will still be a little-known author.

But if she gets off to a good start, her royalties will skyrocket.

With such odds, shouldn't she take a chance?

She is not stupid!

As long as you lower your dignity a little, you can get a thousand times the reward... At this time, dignity that does not touch the bottom line and principles becomes less important.

What's more, she actually has a way to have the best of both worlds.

Because there is at least one thing that Lao Ge guessed right: she is the author of this novel, and also a creator with endless creative ideas in her mind.

She is the author, so she knows her own novels.

As for the creator, she subconsciously adjusted the entire story when she saw something in the script that was inconsistent with her ideas, but knew that she had no say in deleting this inexplicable male protagonist.

It was only a short while from the time she saw the script to now when she was "forced into action" by Lao Ge, but she already had some ideas in her mind.

Jiang Baige cleared her throat and said, "Since Mr. Ge asked me to speak, I will briefly talk about my thoughts... If you have any different opinions, I hope you can bring them up. Let's make this drama better and have some exchanges."

"Well, Teacher Jiang is indeed open-minded."

It wasn't enough for Lao Ge to roar with his hoarse voice, he even clapped his hands, what was that? I'm afraid the others were also confused, but due to Lao Ge's "status", they had to applaud sporadically.

Jiang Baige was speechless. While she was speechless, her eyes swept to Lu Tian at the other end of the table.

The moment the two looked at each other, Jiang Baige saw a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if saying, "After all these years of struggling in the adult world, you have changed a lot."

The applause died down.

"My idea is actually very simple... If, as Mr. Ge said, adding a male protagonist is popular with the audience, then we can keep the paratrooper. But since the male protagonist serves the story, and the story is created for the female protagonist, then we can just make an equal substitution and let the male protagonist be created for the female protagonist."

These words were beyond Ge Hongjian's understanding.

But the screenwriter who was sitting closer to Jiang Baige seemed to understand. She was about to speak, but Ge Hongjian spoke first: "Isn't that similar to the script? The male lead serves the female lead."

Jiang Baige sighed inwardly: "Now the hero is saving the heroine, and the heroine is being saved passively, passively!"

Although she didn't want to offend Lao Ge, she deliberately emphasized the word "passive".

The screenwriter who wanted to speak lowered his head and smiled.

Fortunately, Old Ge was extremely insensitive and didn't notice: "So what Teacher Jiang meant was that the heroine should change from being passive to being active? That means... actively pursuing the hero?"

Jiang Baige: You might as well kill me.

She shook her head helplessly and asked, "Isn't it forbidden to film high school students falling in love? How can we film pursuit?"

"Oh, it's true..." Old Ge touched the back of his head.

Jiang Baige continued to explain: "Rather than saying 'saving', it's better to say 'helping'. The hero can help the heroine in her revenge, and it must be the heroine who chooses the hero... In this way, the heroine is still the main line throughout the story, and the hero is just a supporting role in this story. Now the incongruous feeling in the script will disappear."

When she read the script, she saw the contradictions in the script at a glance, which were the parts that Lao Ge felt were "wrong" with the script.

The appearance of the male protagonist is the root cause.

If we look into it in more detail, it is because he appears to help the heroine, but because he is "airborne", his character is constructed by snatching the heroine's personality, plot, and behavior.

Therefore, the relationship with the heroine is more like a "competitive" one, which runs counter to the "rescue-type romantic relationship" that the two originally wanted to build, and naturally makes people feel awkward.

Now that Jiang Baige has made this analysis, not to mention the two professional screenwriters, even people like Lao Ge who are just "watching the fun" have figured it out.

Jiang Baige looked at the two screenwriters typing away on their keyboards, and suddenly felt a sense of relief.

"So, I think the heroine is the main character of this play and it must not be shaken, otherwise, the main plot will be confused and the logic will be inconsistent. Short plays are supposed to have a tight rhythm. If the logic is not smooth, the rhythm will also be problematic."

She took a sip of water, looked at the two screenwriters, and continued.

"Whether it's revenge or a romantic drama, the heroine must take the lead. The hero can be the main male character, but he is only the heroine's male supporting role. To put it simply, it can be summed up in eight words: the woman she chooses the man he."

This is basically the end of what Jiang Baige wanted to say.

After she finished speaking, the other two screenwriters were also inspired by her and expressed their own opinions, mainly focusing on some details of the processing and some doubts they had when reading the novel.

I had originally intended to just go through Lao Ge's discussion session, but it ended up lasting almost three hours.

By the end, Jiang Baige's neck felt a little sore.

However, she didn't care about her tiredness and complaints. When she saw Lao Ge went to find Lu Tian after being polite with her, she immediately slipped away.

She didn't want to have anything to do with Lu Tian anymore.

Unexpectedly, before they had taken two steps, they were stopped by the screenwriter. It seemed that without the boss's supervision, they wanted to speak to Jiang Baige from the bottom of their hearts.

In this case, Jiang Baige was unwilling to refuse their kindness.

After all, your child is being handed over to someone else.

However, she deliberately took them to the elevator to talk so that they could leave after the talk. Even one of the screenwriters noticed it and asked her if she was in a hurry to go back.

Jiang Baige could only smile awkwardly.

After finally finishing the chat, Jiang Baige's finger had already pressed the down button, and the elevator was only one floor away from arriving - the vengeful spirit that was seeking revenge had arrived early.

"Senior! Are you in such a hurry to leave? I just said a few words to Mr. Ge, and when I looked again, you were gone..."

Haha, Jiang Baige thought, then you should say a few more words.
