I didn’t have time to finish writing, so I’ll read it tomorrow morning, sorry.

…………

After he uploaded the first two chapters, Sisi also opened his starting page and started reading.

But after watching it for a while, she was curious about the baby and pouted and asked:

"Old Zhong, I still don't understand. Didn't the previous movie script write about the "Wan Island" side? Why did you change the background of this movie to Xichuan when writing a novel?"

As she said this, the girl changed her weird expression:

"You wrote like this that the small county town of Xichuan was hit by a meteorite, and a whole town's people died... Well, to be honest, I'm a little scared that everyone will unite to boycott you..."

Well, this can be regarded as a small selfishness of Zhong Yunqing. After all, what will happen in May next year, as a reborn person, he still wants to provide some help as much as he can.

The main purpose of making this movie is to give him a reasonable reason to appear here.

Of course, the above reasons are one major aspect, and the other is for the watchability of the movie itself.

After all, "Your Name" was originally a story set in an island country. Zhong Yunqing was forced to write the movie as a novel first.

This is not something that can be easily accomplished with a quick start. Whether a movie can make the audience buy it or not, plot logic is a very important factor.

Whether it is the temple of the Miyamizu family, or the chewing wine that is closely related to the plot; or the knotted rope that exchanges bodies, or the "time of encountering the devil" at dusk that Teacher Yukino mentioned in class...

These plots themselves have a deep cultural background of the island country, which are very laborious and require time and effort to modify.

And he had to admit that Hai Xincheng, the original author of this animated film, was extremely accomplished in terms of painting ability and plot conception.

And for this movie to be so successful in later generations, the many beautiful landscapes besides the plot are also indispensable.

But Zhong Yunqing is not worried about this. The beautiful scenery of the island country is indeed good, but there are also many famous mountain and water scenic spots in Xichuan. Just choose the best background when shooting. Although he must admit that sometimes live-action movies cannot be compared with the ones in the previous life.

Compared to anime movies.

But there is no need to belittle oneself. This was in 2007. As long as the two important elements of "Your Name" were shot well, it would become a hit movie. One is the plot of the male and female protagonists swapping bodies, which is very popular in this era.

novel.

The other one is meteorites. There is no shortcut for this, you can only spend money on special effects.

Based on these two high-quality hit elements, the rest is how to modify it to make the plot as logical as possible.

In the storyline of "Your Name" that was carefully revised by Zhong Yunqing, the names of many plot characters needed to be modified.

The heroine's name is still Mitsuha, but the surname "Miyamizu" of the island country has been changed to "Liu".

After all, there used to be a legend about "Liu Sanjie" in the southwest region, and the heroine was named "Liu Sanye", so it was easier for the audience to remember it.

Other than that, the plots of the two versions are actually not much different, and the male and female protagonists are both high school students.

The heroine "Liu Sanye" is a high school student in a small county hundreds of kilometers away from Chengdu. Like "Xishou Town", the town where she is located is surrounded by mountains, so the villagers are relatively close to it.

I would say it is more conservative and I believe more in tradition.

According to the same plot setting as the original "Say My Name", the "localized" Mitsuha family will also have an ancestral temple similar to "Miyamizu Shrine" that has been passed down from hundreds of years ago.

In addition, there are also "spells" similar to the dance movements before chewing wine, Taoist rituals to invite gods, and sacrifice-making methods. This is the source of foreshadowing to create the props for the male and female protagonists to finally meet across space.

And Liu Sanye's grandmother is the heir of the Liu family's generation.

In this way, the entire plot logic in the novel is completely based on the story of "Miyamizu Shrine" and some modifications have been made, but the overall logic remains unchanged.

With the "temple" as the background, the carrier for the exchange of souls between the male and female protagonists is established. Those bonds between the male and female protagonists that span three years of space and time that are beyond the scope of science are well explained.

In this way, whether it is body swapping or the "demon encounter at dusk" where the male and female protagonists finally meet, these metaphysical plots have seemingly reasonable explanations.

There are not many plot holes, and the plot logic of the entire novel is immediately established.

As long as there are no flaws in the novel, the film adaptation will be a matter of course.

When it came to the normal campus life after the two swapped bodies, Zhong Yunqing did not make any major changes. Except for changing it to the daily life of a domestic high school, everything else remained unchanged.

For example, Zhong Yunqing's ability to name novel characters is really average, so in order not to rack his brains to think of nice names for the characters in the plot, he can only be lazy and just let the male protagonist of the novel be named "Zhong"

cloud".

This name was so close to his, which immediately made book fans, including Sisi, complain.

However, Sisi had asked him this question before and quickly accepted it. For him, the names of the characters in the novel were just code names, and everyone gradually got used to it after reading it too much.

In addition, there are two best friends who have appeared next to the male protagonist. The one with glasses with a "domestic name" is called Wu Si, and the other tall and powerful one is called Zhao Dazhuang... These boys are all ordinary high school students in a middle school in Chengdu.

.

As for the beautiful senior named "Ao Shi", Zhong Yunqing gave her a very direct name of "Hao Shi", which was also simple and crude.

When it comes to "Mitsuye", her two best friends, "Sayexiang" with two anti-gravity braids, are changed to "Li Xiang"; her best friend "Katsuhiko" who uses explosives to help Sanye blow up the substation is changed to "A

powerful"!

As for Sanye’s sister, naturally she’s still called “Siye”…

These are the only main characters that appear in this movie. The rest can just be called "grandma", "mayor", "convenience store proprietress", etc.

Fortunately, it is now 2007, and the review policy is relatively more relaxed than in later generations. In the original story of "Your Name", there is still a part that may involve puppy love.

For example, after Mitsuha possessed the male protagonist, she once helped him go on a date with Okushi-senpai. There was also a story where the male protagonist received a love letter from a girl after changing into Mitsuha's body...

Of course, these are actually quite good. The most important thing is that some famous scenes can pass the review: that is, the "bear touching" action of the male protagonist possessing the female protagonist several times can still be preserved during this period...

Otherwise, if these "touching bears" are cut out, the movie will immediately lose its "soul"...

Just because he was sure that these plots could pass the review, Zhong Yunqing described the famous scene in which the male protagonist was possessed for the first time in detail in the first two chapters of the novel.

Because of this, his tricky readers are as excited as if they have discovered a new world! After all, Zongzi Ju has been known as the most serious author in the Internet literary circle in the past two years!

An author who never wrote about driving scenes suddenly wrote such a description, which is why his fans did not object to this book anymore... Hehe.

Although only two chapters have been uploaded, the male protagonist possessing the female protagonist is already so interesting... So what will the plot of the female protagonist possessing the male protagonist be like? Everyone is looking forward to it...

However, expectations are expectations. Zhong Yunqing's "stinky habit" of often giving novel characters unpleasant names is definitely not something his fans will get used to, and they started to complain like crazy!

"Zongzi Ju, I think you are the kind of author who focuses all his "talent" on being able to tell a good story, but as soon as you name the characters, you are completely ruined! Of course, you didn't get lazy because of this.

With a name like Zhang San and Li Si, his spirit is still good."

"I agree with you upstairs! His books are just like character names, and the plot is quite novel and interesting. To be honest, if it weren't for this guy's good storytelling ability, I would have given up the book and ran away!"

"Hmm, Zongzi Ju is indeed a great storyteller, so he was named useless! Now I understand that sentence: God is indeed fair! Just like Sisi is so beautiful, but her singing is so-so..."

Regarding these complaints, when I saw Sisi "ridiculing" him unscrupulously while browsing the comment section, I could only hate the girl with itching teeth.

It wasn't until the comment that she just sang like that appeared that he finally had the chance to win back the victory...

Despite this, for Zhong Yunqing, who is so busy every day that he can only keep up to date, which is considered a good one, the complaints and expectations of readers who have always supported him are all that keep him from forgetting his original intention and insisting on coding.

power!

It's just that writing novels is just a side job for him.

Early the next morning, after Zhong Yunqing sent Sisi to the set, she said goodbye to a few good friends and boarded the plane back to Yanjing.

As soon as he landed, he first went back to Tongxin's home to pack up so that he could come and rest at night. Then he wanted to meet Liu Meng early to understand his ideas in the creation of the play.

As soon as he finished cleaning the bedroom, he dialed the mobile phone number the other party left for him without even taking a break:

"Hey, Brother Meng, I've arrived in Yanjing. Where is your home? I'll go find you now."

Liu Meng was also writing the script seriously at this moment. When he received the call from Zhong Yunqing, he didn't intend to waste time. He looked at the time on his watch and responded:

"Well, come over here. I'll text you the address as soon as I hang up. I'm just working on the script these days. You can come directly to the house, and I'll ask my wife to cook quickly. When we're done, we can have a good time together.

Have two drinks.”

About half an hour later, Zhong Yunqing drove to the community where Liu Meng's home was located. The property management here was a bit looser. Liu Meng was waiting at the door early and simply registered his visit and let him in.

"The layout of the house is good. Did you just buy it?" As soon as he entered the door, Zhong Yunqing looked at the layout of the house and was full of praise.

"Well, I spent several days looking with the agency some time ago, and finally chose this second-hand set. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for giving me the copyright fee and director's salary in advance, otherwise my savings might not be enough to pay the full payment.

!”

Regarding Liu Meng's words, Zhong Yunqing could only smile and reply:

"Don't say that. We can be considered partners now. If you have difficulties, you should tell me earlier. If you don't dare to guarantee others, I will be very willing to help within my ability.

Of course, Liu Meng's gratitude was indeed not exaggerated, and Zhong Yunqing was quite kind to him.

As soon as the filming plan for the TV series was finalized, in addition to paying Liu Meng the first expenses for crew preparation, he also directly paid a one-time payment of 500,000 yuan for the adaptation of Liu Meng's novel.

Coupled with the 300,000 director's salary advanced to him in advance, this guy could easily buy a two-bedroom apartment in Yanjing in 2007.

"In fact, there is no need to buy second-hand houses. There are also many new houses that are fully decorated and ready to move in..."

Liu Meng smiled and responded with a relaxed expression:

"Whether it's first-hand or second-hand, I still think it's more reliable to find someone to decorate it myself... Forget it, let's get down to business first, and we'll chat later and eat."

"I am now writing the eleventh episode, where Xiaoying went to the special forces to celebrate Xiaozhuang's birthday, and then thought he was just a warehouse keeper."

About two hours later.

"Yun Qing is a big star, I wonder if he can get used to our food..."
