After the rise of IP craze, the film adaptation of male frequency can’t get rid of the cool dependence on "Golden Finger".What’s the trade-off between male frequent writers and screenwriters?How do the protagonist and the group image set off each other? How does the core of the novel resonate with the film and television audience? A hundred discussions are not as good as a successful practice. In the newly-launched Douluo Continent, Hard Sugar Jun found that male frequency adaptation is really getting more and more out of the way.
For the screenwriter Wang Tired’s TV series Douluo Mainland, the audience’s expectations are still very high. Nowadays, it seems that the drama version has not completely converted to the original framework.Instead, on the basis of retaining the main line of the story, it has carried out the integration of youth and comedy.. At first glance, the soul beast, the soul ring and the soul master, the presentation of Douluo Mainland is original. However, the details of the play, its "small discrepancy" with the original work and the comic sense of another way are likely to contain its breakthrough secret.
Strike while the iron is hot and blame, light the point and mix the jokes.
In a word, "Douluo Mainland" tells the story that Tang San studied in Notting Academy and Slanker Academy, formed the "Slanker Seven Monsters" with his friends who fought side by side, and finally won the title of Soul Academy Competition. The growth mode of punishing evil and promoting good laid the tone of the drama "burning"
From the awakening of Wu Soul to entering Notting Academy, and then being traced by Notting City, Douluo Mainland has constructed a complete world view of Wu Soul in just a few episodes. Outside the village of the Holy Soul, the world, the kingdom and the Hall of the Soul spread all over the mainland. If ordinary people want to achieve "class transition", they must hunt powerful soul beasts to get the soul ring and become the strongest soul teacher. And "Wu Soul Hall monopolizes the soul beast resources and is an industry monopoly organization".
Before the class transition, it is necessary to "get rid of poverty through education". With the determination not to lose at the starting line, Tang San became an "additional student" of Notting Academy with a letter of recommendation.However, when he arrived at the Academy, Tang San discovered another power structure. The school bully in the academy is Xiao Chenyu, the son of Lord Nuoding, and the director of the academy is also his third uncle. Students should put his joys and sorrows first and be suppressed by him everywhere.
Full of unfair environmental settings, hard candy jun’s fists are hard! Fortunately, Tang San seemed to hear our voices and made Xiao Chenyu flustered several times. In the fast-paced narrative of Douro Continent, the theme of punishing evil and promoting good is very substitutive, and the burning point and the laughing point are also balanced.
These jokes are closely combined with the plot, which has the playful pleasure of post-modern deconstruction. The picture of Wang Sheng being kicked across the air when Xiao Wu mistakenly entered the boys’ dormitory for a fight is extremely meaningless. The imaginary scene in Liu Long’s mind that Tang San and Xiao Dance are surrounded by smoke is also a typical comic treatment.
When it’s time to shoot, the ignition point of the series is also a matter of course, and a big word "cool" is written. When Xiao Chenyu threatened everyone’s life, when the cage of powerful energy could not break through, it was also the surge point of adrenaline in the audience. Tang San risked the destruction of Wu Soul, forcibly broke the organ, and brushed his mood not to be too comfortable.
In addition to the fast pace, intensive coolness and laughter, the gold medal screenwriter Wang tired of controlling it, which made Douluo Mainland have more delicate extensibility. It is better to make the characters solid and interesting than to seek innovation and change blindly. Group drama has become a prominent feature, and the images of Xiaowu, Wang Sheng, Yu Xiaogang and Xiao Chenyu have become more distinct after fine-tuning.
"I want to take his woman and destroy his eyes." Xiao Chenyu’s arrogance makes people itch, but it also provokes the audience’s emotional point of resisting oppression. With the help of a little dance, I told the problems of the whole environment and got rid of boring preaching. "This is unfair. Every life can only gain territory and power with its own strength." For the love between father and son, Wang is tired of writing quietly but touching. Tang’s father was stern on the surface, but he secretly bandaged each other’s wounds while Tang San was asleep.
The mystery of the second martial spirit and birth mother throughout creates a fascinating sense of suspense. Because of his father’s advice, Tang San always hides his second martial spirit. In order to solve his mother’s puzzle, he kept collecting clues to piece together the truth of that year.
Ingenious production, multi-platform detonation
The skeleton of a good story should also have a plump body. The artistic setting of Douluo Continent depicts a very beautiful world of martial souls for the audience and creates an immersive aesthetic space.
The architectural styles of the sacred soul village, Notting city and hunting forest are unique; Ghost wolves, Datura snakes, and magic spiders with human faces are dazzling; Blue silver grass, soft bone rabbit, Luo Sanpao and other martial soul special effects are realistic and natural; In the picture of the opponent between the character and the spirit beast, the action of the three wise men fighting the spider with human face is flowing, and the thrilling details against the Datura snake are also present.
At the same time, the shooting technique of "Douluo Mainland" is also close to the preferences of young audiences to the greatest extent. The performance of comic voice combined with comic style complements the high-burning battle soundtrack. Tang San mistakenly thought that Xuanyushou’s function was to strike the iron, Xiao Dance was mixed into Tang San’s bed and watched by roommates, Luo San Bao ate radish and farted, and Xiao Dance thought that the duke’s surname was "city", which made people laugh.
The cool point with feelings and the relaxed expression of heavy themes make Douluo Mainland have the characteristics of decompression and leisure without losing its connotation. The secular feelings of "radish cake" and Liu Long-style comedy characters make this drama based on the proposition of growth quickly accepted by the audience in a relaxed way.
The TV series "Douluo Continent" was broadcast at the right time. In the original book that ended in the last year of the Ox, the total sales volume of physical books exceeded 10 million in 12 years, and there were a lot of books. In 2018, the animated version of "Douluo Continent" was launched, and it dominated the TOP1 of Tencent’s video country list all the year round, further increasing the basic audience of IP; The winter vacation coincides with the drama-chasing season of the audience, and the combination of TV stations and online video platforms can achieve a wider range of users’ reach. In addition to attracting the attention of domestic audiences, the quality of the series itself has also made it popular in Britain, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and other countries.
The role is me, and the audience wants "common growth"
Is a pair of "bad cards" giving up or playing an attitude? In front of Tang San, there are "luck" born with full soul and "misfortune" with abandoned martial spirit. Even the teacher advised him to study the theory of Wu Soul deeply, so that he could take a teaching post in the future. But he didn’t give up, believing that everything has its function, even the weakest bluegrass is no exception.
Just like a student with a lack of talent, he tries hard to fly first. Tang San was dragged black and blue by the bluegrass before he learned the soul skill of entanglement. The diligence of summing up while practicing shocked Yu Xiaogang. He changed in difficulties and grew up in adversity. As he said when he was desperate: "How can you go your own way without bloodshed and pain?
If "my life is up to me" shows an indomitable youthful mind, then "weeding out the strong and helping the weak" is a modern interpretation of traditional chivalry. Refusing to harm small animals, Tang San hit the floor said quietly: "The strong should be born to protect the weak, which is the most basic truth." In the face of the oppression of the Wu Soul Hall and the kingdom, Tang San also shouldered the responsibility of "pleading for the life of the people".
On the basis of the "Slacker Seven Monsters", Douluo Mainland reconstructs the social way of modern young people with the martial arts template. They have different personalities, but they can unite into a force in the face of suffering. The spirit of "don’t give up, don’t give up" also inspires young people who read books and watch dramas during the physical training of the seven eccentrics.
What is the friendship of "Slacker Seven Monsters"? It’s the kind that you can trust your back to the other side in a battle. Affectionate little dance, Leng Qing’s bamboo, tender feelings and glory, the seven eccentrics have different personalities, but when combined, they glow with excellent fighting energy.For the young audience who flaunt their individuality but are not good at expressing their inner feelings, the friendship of "Slacker Seven Weirds" is very strange and loving.
There is obviously a universal script in Douro Continent that grows up with the metaphor of journey, which also assumes the function of narrative structure in the drama series-young people increase their life experience by traveling and meet mentors, enemies and peers. Make a choice in the fierce struggle between "inner self" and "external statute" and move towards the maturity of the final meaning.
The schema mixture of fantasy world, collective life, team battle setting, competitive competition and other popular elements makes Douro Continental substitute young audiences into this system in many breakthrough points: opening up its own experience and constantly debugging, and realizing the narrative of changing and growing together with the protagonist.
The youthful blood and persistence in the ideal that the audience felt from Douro Continent is precisely the mental process that they must go through when they transition from youth to maturity. When they are substituted into the typical situation, the young audience will gain a "common growth" after experiencing the joys and sorrows with the protagonist.
Synchronizing the audience with the protagonist is obviously a more powerful male frequency methodology than the golden finger script.
