Chapter 1356: Game of Thrones Script

At night, back at the hotel, Ye Zhiqiu sat at the desk and turned on the computer.

After weighing the pros and cons of the invitation from HBO TV station, he felt that this was a good opportunity for him to enter the European and American film and television circles and gain greater influence.

So, he prepared to write a script carefully, a script that HBO TV station could not refuse and worthy of being called "the most expensive TV series in history."

After thinking for a long time at the table, Ye Zhiqiu tapped the keyboard with his fingers and wrote a few big words.

——A Game of Thrones.

That’s right, he plans to bring this classic American TV series from his previous life to the screen.

In its previous life, this drama was adapted from the strange novel series "A Song of Ice and Fire" by writer George R. Martin. A total of eight seasons were produced with a total production cost of over $10 billion. It was a huge commercial success and an extremely important milestone in the history of TV dramas.

How popular is this drama? At its peak, it was broadcast in 173 countries and regions around the world, the most in the world; it won a record 37 awards at the Emmy Awards, the most influential television award in the United States.

In addition, this drama has even topped the list of the most pirated TV series in the world for five consecutive years...

The TV series "Game of Thrones" is divided into 8 seasons, from the first season to the end of the eighth season, which lasted 8 years. However, while it has received widespread acclaim, it has also been criticized by many viewers for its dragging plot and slow pace.

For Ye Zhiqiu, he does not intend to completely copy the plot of the previous life's drama, nor does he have 8 years to slowly polish it. Instead, he will make some deletions and revisions, and condense the plot to about 5 to 6 seasons.

However, all he had to write tonight was the synopsis for the first season.

At the same time, when Ye Zhiqiu was writing the script, the news that Hello! Mr. Tree won an award at the Vladivostok International Film Festival had spread back to China and became a hot topic on Weibo that night.

"Great!"

"Ye Zhiqiu's first international award as a director!"

"This movie is indeed well made and deserves the award."

"Wang Qiang won the 'Best Actor' award again. Now all we need is a domestic version."

"In this work, Wang Qiang's acting skills really exceeded my imagination. His role as 'Mr. Tree' is absolutely amazing."

"Just when others criticized him for only being able to make comedies that were a disaster, Wang Qiang completely dispelled the doubts with one role."

"I have a feeling that maybe this time he can really achieve his wish with this film..."

Ye Zhiqiu did not pay much attention to the outside world's disturbances and discussions. He spent a day writing the outline of the first season of "Game of Thrones" before returning home.

The worldview of this drama is extremely grand, and coupled with the intricate plot, the specific script cannot be written in a short time.

But it's enough to impress the people at HBO.

When David March, who was still in Vladivostok, received the news that Ye Zhiqiu could read the manuscript, he was stunned.

so fast?

This was his first reaction, followed by confusion.

Was it just a casual rewrite to please himself? Perhaps Ye Zhiqiu didn't know HBO's strict requirements for the script.

But since they had approached Ye Zhiqiu, they had naturally done some investigation and understanding of the other party beforehand, so they attached great importance to reading the manuscript this time. In the hotel's conference room, March and two senior executives from HBO were all present.

"Hello! Mr. Ye."

When he saw Ye Zhiqiu again, Machi had a warm smile on his face.

"It's nice to meet you again. It's such a pleasant surprise that you contacted me so soon."

"I'm very happy, not scared." Ye Zhiqiu replied humorously.

Ma Qi was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "To be honest, I was a little scared."

\"Because as far as I know, it takes a long time for a screenwriter to conceive and polish a story, but it's the first time I've seen someone do it so quickly, Mr. Ye, in just one day."\"

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said without further ado, "Don't worry, you won't be disappointed."

"let's start."

March and his team members had been eager to get going, so naturally they had no objections.

Before officially reading the script, both parties signed a confidentiality agreement. Then March finally got the script, and he couldn't wait to look at the title of the script.

The big words "A Game of Thrones" are very eye-catching on the cover page.

As the name suggests, this is a story about power struggle?

Machi raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking this was a good angle to approach.

Power and wealth are the eternal pursuits of mankind, and stories about power struggles are often more complicated and more attractive than the simple story of the protagonist fighting monsters and upgrading.

However, stories of this type often involve complex character stories, multi-level plot designs, and various reversals. In particular, they require the author to have a deep enough insight into human nature, so it is not easy to write well.

With doubts, March opened the script.

The opening is actually a hand-drawn map, which is divided into two parts, left and right, and is in the shape of an "L" as a whole.

Later, there is an introduction to the background setting of the story.

The story is set in a medieval fantasy world and takes place on two continents - Westeros and Essos, which are the two places on the map.

Westeros, located in the west, is similar to the real European continent. The northern part of the continent is separated by the Wall. North of the Wall is an unconquered wilderness, and the southern part is divided into seven kingdoms, which were later unified into one kingdom.

The Iron Throne is the highest symbol of power in Westeros. The king has absolute power but needs the assistance of the nobles led by seven families.

The Stark family, with Winterfell as its center, controls the cold and desolate area of ​​the North.

House Greyjoy, who ruled the Iron Islands, was renowned for their maritime plunder.

The Lannister family, known for its wealth and power, rules the river crossings, a land rich in gold mines...

Each family has its own territory, army and power.

Essos, located in the east, is a vast continent that includes many different cultures and regions...

At this moment in the conference room, before even starting to read the plot content, just seeing this world setting made Machi feel his scalp tingling.

So grand and so huge!

This setting includes complete geographical location, regional divisions, political systems, religious beliefs, social structures, family culture and traditions, magic and mysterious power settings, etc...

As a professional, he could naturally see that this was not something that could be written casually, but was obviously the result of careful consideration and rigorous reasoning... This was also the reason why he was so shocked.

Is this really something Ye Zhiqiu could write in one night?

What the hell is this monster!?
