2. Chapter 2

It is actually not a simple thing to adapt a game into a movie. So far, there are many cases where movies ruin games.

One of the big reasons for this is that the game has the interactive nature that makes the movie look deterred.

Nowadays, the game industry has experienced decades of development and its popularity has been increasing. With the development of technology, the game's pictures, special effects, and BGM quality are all improving, making it easier to give people an immersive feeling.

In the game, the player is the person who operates the role, the protagonist is ‘he’ and ‘he’ is the protagonist himself. This sense of substitution often makes it very easy for the player to get involved in the role, and every step is controlled by himself, and the direction of the plot depends entirely on his own participation.

However, in the movie, the audience can only watch the story from the perspective of a third party.

If the actors have a stiff acting skills, the result will be self-evident.

In addition, the movie is only two hours long, and there are only limited things to put in, and there are too many stories in the game. Therefore, it is particularly important to choose what to shoot, what should be filmed, and what should be filmed, otherwise it will easily lead to unclear establishment of the worldview and incomplete explanation of the general background.

Based on these, the requirements for screenwriters must be very high.

If the above two points cannot be met, some gamers will be disappointed if they cannot find the expected sense of substitution in the movie. Passers-by who have never played the game are confused because of the incomplete background explanation. The whole movie is full of confusion and confusion.

This leads to a failure and it is not surprising that there is a lot of curses online.

The movie is called "Never Look Back".

The protagonist of "Never Look Back" is the only survivor in a corruption case fifteen years ago. At that time, local officials and businessmen colluded, and all the charges were left on Su Nuo's father Su Jiaheng. The originally happy family fell apart, and Su's father was innocent and stigmatized throughout his life. He was aged and his grandparents, and the white-haired man died one after another. His mother also suffered depression and eventually committed suicide.

So fifteen years later, the boy who witnessed the death of his family grew up and resolutely embarked on the road of revenge to kill these murderers with one blow.

Why is it so miserable? Wen Siyu couldn't help but be amazed after reading the script.

Screenwriter Ji Xia is undoubtedly a good screenwriter. She is not limited to the world created by the game, but uses the battle royale plot pattern in the game as the basis for revenge. The two are connected with each other. Although it is a bit cliché, the design is clever and reasonable, which also reflects the dark status of my country's corruption at this stage.

The male protagonist Su Nuo is both the pain of being blinded by hatred and the struggle of conscience during the revenge, or the liberation and redemption at the end, which is a very test of his acting skills. If he performs well, he will be very outstanding.

Then, the most important thing is the actors.

Wen Siyu didn't expect that they actually found Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu made his debut at the age of 14 as the male lead in "The Immortality" directed by Xu Qiubai, and won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor Award. He then switched to TV series for ten years and had never been involved in movies. He finally returned to the big screen after ten years. He won the Best Actor Award for two consecutive years with "Ranking Flame" and "June Jingzhe", becoming one of the few male leads in Lianzhuang in film history.

Moreover, the box office results are very beautiful.

When director Li Hengyi asked her if she wanted to be an assistant for him, Wen Siyu just thought this was a rare opportunity to learn practically, so he missed it without hesitation.

Later, she learned that it was an adaptation of a video game that she had done before, so she felt that she was very destined to be with this game, including the upcoming movie.

Originally, she repeatedly asked who the male protagonist was, but Director Li refused to tell her no matter what.

Now that Jiang Xu has been confirmed to play the male lead, Wen Siyu is so happy that she almost jumps up.

She was intern in the crew for the first time! The male protagonist is a male god! The girl with this kind of luck can't help but want to run downstairs to buy two sets of lottery tickets.

She jumped out of the room with a chocolate bar in her mouth, held her cell phone while going downstairs, and opened a dialog box and sent her expressions over.

Five seconds later, the other party responded.

【Cold man:…】

Wen Siyu jumped into the living room and sat down on the sofa.

[Madam Jiang Xu, the leader in appearance: I will go for an internship during the summer vacation.]

【Cold man: Oh.】

[Madam Jiang Xu, the leader in appearance: the crew of director Li Hengyi.]

【Cold man: Oh.】

[Madam Jiang Xu, the leader of appearance: the male lead Jiang Xu.]

【Cold man: Oh.】

【Cold man:…】

【Cold man:???????!!!】

Wen Siyu finally felt good. She laughed three times, crossed her legs and typed.

[Madam Jiang Xu, the leader in appearance: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha it seems that I am just around the corner to go to Jiang Xu.]

【Cold man: What's going on.】

[Madam Jiang Xu, the leader in appearance: What's going on?]

Gu Yao didn't continue to pretend to be stupid with her, and sent a video directly.

Wen Siyu: "..."

When I picked up the video, the other party didn't give her a chance to speak. As soon as I answered, I asked in a scattered manner: "What's going on."

"What's going on..." Wen Siyu stretched out his hands to get enough chocolate bars on the coffee table, "I'm going to go to the crew for an internship during the summer vacation."

Gu Yao sat on the bed with his legs crossed, his eyes wide open: "Is Jiang Xu the male lead?"

"Well, Jiang Xu is the male lead." Wen Siyu repeated.

“…”

"What, are you so happy for me that you can't speak?" The girl finally clamped one end of the chocolate bar with her fingertips and steadily put it into her mouth.

"I think Jiang Xu is really pitiful. Now he has to passively accept someone's view of rape even when filming." Gu Yao sighed, "I wonder if he will be like a thorn on his back every day, in pain, and live like years."

Wen Siyu was dissatisfied and retorted seriously: "Student Gu, I think you have a misunderstanding of me. I am a rational fan."

"How rational are you? Did you pretend to be a big trumpet and lick it on the 18th style?" Gu Yao, one of the few people who knew her small trumpet, refuted her mercilessly.

"...You can't survive in this way when you go to society."

"oh."

Gu Yao picked up a bottle of hand mask from the table on one side and slowly unscrewed the lid: "Does Jiang Xu know that his wife threatened innocent girls every day to threaten her to not be able to survive in society in the future?"

Wen Siyu was instantly pleased and smiled: "Wait for me to come back to bring you a gift!"

"Go, go and fuck him. If you can't fuck, don't come back to see me."

“…”

Wen Siyuan, who watched the whole process, felt that his sister was so coaxing that he couldn't bear to look at her.

The final makeup photo has been filmed and the crew officially started. As the director's assistant, Wen Siyu should have been to the crew in advance to prepare. However, as a sophomore who was dominated by the fear of the final exam, she returned home as quickly as possible after finishing the last subject of this semester and sorted out her things. After saying hello to her family, she went straight to the crew the next day, but she was still two days late.

Wen Siyu's air ticket was booked, but there was no more morning, so I had no choice but to book the afternoon.

As a result, the flight was delayed again. It was already 9:30 p.m. when I got off the plane, I called and was told that the shooting was over.

Wen Siyu dragged her suitcase to the hotel where the crew stayed, and director Li Hengyi came down to pick her up in person.

Seeing someone getting out of the elevator and walking into the lobby, the girl trotted over and called out to the teacher with her eyebrows and eyes bent.

Li Hengyi is less than 40 years old this year and has a gentle and handsome uncle face. He has made two movies with good box office reputation in his thirties. He has excellent talent and a bright future.

At this time, the man also saw her and looked at her with gentle eyes: "Why did you arrive? The plane is late?" As he said, he was about to take the suitcase from the girl.

Wen Siyu quickly stopped him: "Teacher Li, now I am internship in the crew as the director's assistant. How can the director drag his luggage to the assistant? I'm very afraid of you."

Li Heng was stunned for a moment, then laughed, put his hand back into his pocket, and said to Shanru: "You can tell the difference so clearly before you start working."

Wen Siyu also laughed, with her big black eyes shiny: "It's better to distinguish clearly, otherwise what if Teacher Li treats me as a volunteer and refuses to pay the internship salary."

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but you're still so smart." Director Li Hengyi was amused. He smiled and took her forward a few steps to the hotel front desk. "I just got off the show and was hungry. We are going to have a midnight snack. Wen Yatou, have you eaten?"

Wen Siyu blinked and looked at his gaze. Then he saw that there was still someone standing in the corner of his sight. He was looking at this side with an inquiring look on his face, watching the series of interactions between her and the director, and was confused with different expressions.

Wen Siyu's smile did not diminish on her lips, her eyes slashed over without moving, and then suddenly stopped.

At the end of the crowd, Jiang Xu stood quietly there with one hand in his pants pocket and lowered his head to play with his cell phone.

The man was wearing a gray shirt and leaning against the elevator with his long legs crossed. His upper body was slightly tilted, and his head was lazily against the marble wall, making half of his face buried in the shadow and unable to see it clearly. His nose bridge was three-dimensional and straight, and his chin was as sharp and clean as a sculpture.

As if he felt something, Jiang Xu suddenly stood up and raised his head, his dark brown eyes crashing into her dark ink, and their eyes met in the air.

It seemed as if something was in my mind burst out with a bang, like champagne bubbles spreading layer by layer, flowing unscrupulously all over my heart and eyes.
