After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

Chapter 346: Gender Change, Tolerance Doubled

After hearing this, Ge Hongjian panicked.

He didn't expect Jiang Baige to be so direct - after all, everyone likes to flatter first and then get to the point.

But then I thought, she is a literary writer, so her temper is likely to be worse. And she is so young.

Although he knew that many online writers were very young, and he also glanced at her date of birth when signing the contract, it was only when he saw her in person that he truly felt the youthful vigor and vitality of that kind of young people.

She didn't have the "work style" of the young people who worked for him, although he heard that she had a full-time job.

He just heard from his assistant Xiao Dong that this online article is about to be published.

With these things as confidence, it is understandable that one has a worse temper.

Thinking of this, the astonishment on Ge Hongjian's face disappeared, and he put on an even thicker smile: "Teacher Jiang, don't be anxious... Tell me, what made you unhappy?"

Jiang Baige then realized that her unhappiness was so obvious even though she had tried hard to control it.

"I'm not unhappy at all." Jiang Baige also began to put on a show, "It's mainly because of the script. I really can't help."

"how to say?"

"I don't know who bought this book from you...but this is a story from a completely female perspective, and a man suddenly appeared in the first episode, and he looked like he wanted to save the heroine...It seems to have nothing to do with my original work, right?"

Ge Hongjian was very good at reading people's expressions, he spoke immediately.

"Yes, yes, I just feel that this part is not right, and I asked the screenwriters to change it many times, but..." The key is in the second half, "This is how the industry is now. If there is no story line between the male and female protagonists, no audience will buy it."

"Then why did you choose to take this photo of mine in the first place?"

"This……"

Ge Hongjian was a little stumped by the question. It wasn't that he didn't know how to answer, but he couldn't tell the real answer: Of course, the reason for choosing this book is to reap the benefits of women.

Now women's consciousness is beginning to rise in all areas. As a veteran in the film and television industry, how could he not see it?

Women + suspense, these two points alone are very attractive, and there is also the element of revenge.

This book is not long, but the plot is full of twists and turns, which always keeps people on suspense, and there are unexpected reversals in almost every place.

If it is made into a drama, there will be no shortage of audiences.

But dramas are different from books after all. If there are no male characters in a book, it may still have its audience.

But if a drama aimed at everyone only has a group of women, the audience will not buy it - can the audience of TV dramas, especially low-cost online dramas and short dramas, be the same as that of people who read books?

Although "online literature" is at the bottom of the contempt chain of "reading books", the threshold for reading itself is much higher than that for watching TV dramas.

Jiang Baige herself is a graduate student from Anjing University and a writer, so how could she understand this?

Ge Hongjian only has a junior college diploma, but he is very successful in the film and television industry. Everyone who sees him calls him Mr. Ge or Teacher Ge.

If he didn't have some connections and prestige, he wouldn't have been able to go out on his own.

Although he is unlucky, he believes that he is different from "intellectuals" like Jiang Baige who came out of ivory towers and greenhouses. Society is his classroom and his world. He is used to the ups and downs and the struggles.

So he was very sure that he knew what the audience wanted: to add a male protagonist - not the screenwriters' idea, but his.

There is no emotional line. You only see an underage girl's revenge and her relationship with her original family: she hates her father and loves her mother. It's too thin.

Of course, the story on my father's side is quite melodramatic, but he is just a supporting role after all.

We still have to focus on the protagonist.

A "redemption" male protagonist is undoubtedly one of the most popular types among audiences nowadays. Just like all fairy tales of princes and princesses, the prince will save the princess in distress.

And because this is a story of revenge, the hero's character will be more complex and three-dimensional: he is a good man, but he is willing to dirty his hands for her.

As soon as the character comes out, won’t he attract a lot of female fans?

As soon as the script was in draft form, the casting department sent it to some male celebrities who met the required looks.

Except for some big names who don't like short dramas, most male artists and their agents are interested in this role.

This shows that his judgment was correct.

Of course, success depends on fate, but that success also depends on the role. The male protagonist he created out of nothing is destined to be loved by the audience.

This is also a double insurance.

It is very difficult to create a likable female lead. The audience is always very picky, but they suddenly relax their standards for the male lead.

Ge Hongjian was a businessman who knew where to place his bets.

But this character was really created out of thin air, and he has to interfere with every aspect of the heroine's life, so the handling of some details inevitably seems superfluous.

But the plot of the original work was so seamless and interlocking that many of the plots related to the male protagonist seemed awkward when added in, so he thought of calling Jiang Baige, the original author, to take a look.

Who knew, she is the "biological mother" after all, and the problem can be known at a glance.

In fact, even if Jiang Baige didn't know all of Ge Hongjian's plans, she could guess some of them:

It's not like she hasn't been on a film crew before, it's not like she hasn't participated in those producer discussions, it's not like she doesn't know that for these people, making money and becoming famous are far more important than the work itself, it's not like she doesn't know that screenwriters are the bottom of the bottom - the author certainly has no say, but at least she got the copyright fee.

"Mr. Ge, I've actually sold this story to you guys... I fully respect your adaptation, after all, you have your own considerations for making the show. But I didn't think of any male lead when I was writing it, and now one has appeared out of thin air. Even I don't know how to handle it..."

Jiang Baige stood up and prepared to leave: "So, I may have to trouble you to find someone else."

"Hey, Mr. Jiang, don't be anxious, don't be anxious..."

Seeing that Jiang Baige was about to leave, Ge Hongjian became a little anxious: If he could find someone to handle it, why would he bother looking for Jiang Baige?

This is not because he cares so much about the drama, but because he is a businessman. Having invested money, he must strive to maximize profits.

Asking Jiang Baige for help doesn't cost much, but the rewards could be huge.

"But I don't know what to do with your script..." Jiang Baige was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's okay." Ge Hongjian came over, checked the time, and walked out with Jiang Baige. "You're here, and our script discussion is about to start... You can go over and listen, give us some suggestions, and also point out a direction for our screenwriter to adapt."

Since he said so, Jiang Baige naturally couldn't refuse. She sighed in her heart, but could only follow him to another meeting room.
