Chapter 138: Reverse Adaptation! Adapting a Novel from a Movie

……

"Lu Feng, what are you doing in the bathroom? It's been almost half an hour, why haven't you come out yet?"

Lu Feng completed the lottery inside, closed his eyes, used the system's player, and watched the movie "The Accidental Murder" for a while.

I have to say, the movie is really well made.

Although I don’t remember exactly how much this movie earned at the box office in another time and space, it should be more than 10 billion.

It's definitely a hit.

Of course, the most important thing is that the original Indian movie is awesome.

Standing on the shoulders of giants and making adaptations is much easier than writing an original script.

Lu Feng was soaking in a hot bath, watching a movie with his eyes closed, and enjoying life.

The hot girl outside waited and waited, but Lu Feng never came out.

I suddenly became anxious.

At this moment, he heard the bathroom door being knocked, so Lu Feng had to put on his clothes and end his bath.

"He looks pale, a sign of excessive sexual indulgence."

After Lu Feng came out, Reba looked at Lu Feng's face suspiciously for a while, curled her lips, and looked at him with a little contempt.

Reba thought that Lu Feng was doing handicraft work inside.

After all, Lu Feng is young and energetic, and he is two-timing. But under his strict supervision, he can't have his way with her, and he is probably about to get internal injuries from holding it in.

Reba covered her mouth and laughed, while also expressing her understanding.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's almost 12 o'clock. Go back to bed and be careful of growth retardation."

Lu Feng tapped Reba's forehead with his finger and pushed her out the door, telling her not to think too much all day long.

Back in the room, Reba looked down at the size of her chest and snorted coldly, "What do you mean by underdeveloped? You blind idiot. My figure is much better than Liu Shishi's."

Not only does she have a better figure than Liu Shishi.

I am also prettier than Liu Shishi.

Look at my beautiful big Persian cat eyes, they are sparkling like gems.

In a few years, I will definitely be able to fascinate you.

……

After driving Reba away.

Lu Feng logged into his Tieba account, which he hadn’t logged into for half a year.

After going around in circles, I arrived at Li Yi Bar again.

He didn't say anything and just started a new thread.

——"Manslaughter".

……

"Legend has it that long ago, the king of this place had a son. A wizard predicted that the son would kill his father when he grew up. The king had no choice but to let his son starve to death in the wilderness."

"A kind peasant woman adopted this child. When he grew up, he led an uprising and killed the king. When the child unexpectedly learned that the king was his biological father, he was filled with remorse and, in a rage, killed the peasant woman who had adopted him. He made these grave mistakes over and over again, and he was filled with remorse."

"The monks told him that the only way to atone for his sins was to build a large pagoda so large that pigeons could not reach the top. So the Phra Pathom Pagoda, also known as the Pagoda of Repentance, was built."

……

Since it is a novel, the structure is of course different from that of a movie.

After much deliberation, Lu Feng decided to use this mysterious yet seemingly plausible voice-over from the movie as the beginning of the novel.

……

Then he began to convert the movie into words while watching it.

……

Ten years ago, Xiaofeng and his family left their hometown and came from China to a small town on the Thai border.

After graduating from a local high school, Xiaofeng joined a network company as a maintenance worker. In his spare time, he enjoys watching detective movies. His handsome appearance and humor make him a favorite among the town's grandmothers, who often introduce him to their granddaughters.

However, Xiaofeng just wanted to help his mother and raise his two younger sisters well.

……

It describes the protagonist Xiaofeng's daily work and family situation.

At the end of the first chapter, a suspense is thrown.

One day, Xiaofeng returned home and suddenly learned that his elder sister, Pingping, was raped by Sucha, the son of Inspector General La Yun, and accidentally killed him while resisting.

What's next? Should he turn himself in to the police? Or should he flee with his sister?

Ordinary people only have these two choices.

The reason why Xiaofeng is the protagonist is that he took the third path. He chose to use the criminal investigation knowledge he saw in the movie to bury the body and then cover up the evidence!
Thus helping my sister to escape punishment!

……

Although I only wrote a few thousand words.

However, Lu Feng was racking his brains.

After finishing the first chapter, he looked up and realized, damn, it was almost 4 a.m.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep. If I don't sleep now, Reba will laugh at me for overindulging in sex again tomorrow."

Filming is very tiring. It’s not physically tiring, it’s purely mental torture.

As an actor, if Lu Feng wants to make a good movie, he must be 12% focused and pay 200% attention.

Otherwise, on the big screen, a slightly off look could easily lead to a bad review from the audience.

Lu Feng really doesn't have much confidence in his D-level acting skills.

With D-level acting skills, it is of course not a problem to shoot an idol drama, but it is extremely difficult to shoot a comedy movie.

There are several types of comedy movies.

"Night Club" is not a nonsensical comedy movie, but a black humor full of wisdom in life.

This movie has a unique style among domestic comedy films.

In the original movie, the character that distracted the audience the most was the second male lead, Xiao Gangya, played by Lu Feng!

Before Lu Feng started acting, he thought he was just a supporting role. After filming for a week, he found out that he was indeed just a supporting role.

It's obvious at first glance that he was just a resource-rich actor who was forced in. If he doesn't perform well in the right rhythm, it will ruin the integrity of the movie.

But here comes the problem...

It's better for you to know about this kind of thing yourself.

If the audience finds out, does he still want good reviews?
Just overthinking it.

Believe it or not, fans turned haters instantly?
If that's the case, Lu Feng has acted in this movie in vain.

Therefore, in order to prevent the audience from giving him bad reviews after watching the show, Lu Feng can only try his best to strengthen Xiao Gangya's character.

——That means being a bootlicker for Liu Shishi.

Of course, the main problem is... even if the director wants him to perform more deeply and with richer emotions, he can't do it with his current acting skills.

So, let him play Liu Shishi's bootlicker first, and then talk about it.

In the movie, when Little Steel Teeth was licking, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have a chance to lick the goddess, and he began to become bolder and more unrestrained.

In the end, he would do anything to save the goddess!
Try to add a character arc to yourself.

——From a wretched loser who secretly took photos of the goddess, he became a hero who saved the goddess' life.

It can be said that the little guy has grown and transformed after going through hardships.

After all, it’s just a small, shabby supermarket, and it’s just a plot of setting up a temple in a snail shell... Lu Feng wants to spend extra money to give himself more roles.

It can’t be added either.

It's hard to do, this is all I can do.
