The drama version of "West Out of The Jade Gate" has not yet officially announced the starring lineup, but anecdotal rumors have emerged in an endless stream, wave after wave.
"Si Teng", adapted from another work of the original author of the novel, "Half Demon Si Teng", accidentally became a dark horse work in the first half of the year.
Successfully broke through in a number of romance dramas and had a name.
Even with the "adaptation" of the tail fish's work, the value has also risen.
This "West Out of the Jade Gate" has naturally attracted much attention.
At present, the most rumored theory is that the male and female protagonists are Bai Yu and Ni Ni respectively.
There are many rumors, but the authenticity is actually difficult to discern.
Interestingly, for the two recent film and television projects, the original author Tailfish has clearly and publicly expressed his opposition.
She posted on social media and came up to say directly that "two projects are being blocked this year."
And this year, her two projects are probably "West Out of the Jade Gate" and "Seven Roots of Murder".
She and the filmmakers expressed her serious dissatisfaction with the script, with one saying that it would not be changed soon, and the other saying that it would consider her opinion.
Sad and lost, tailfish even said that "in the future, when selling novels, we must strive for the right to edit and review works, and if not, we would rather not sell them."
Will this play, which is "about to start and does not intend to respect the original author's revision opinions", be "West Out of the Jade Gate"?
Netizens speculated that the possibility is very large.
But this time and another.
If Tail Fish did not publish articles on social media, Zijin Chen did not join the melee, and if the incident did not ferment, the producers are likely to directly ignore the original author's views out of consideration of realistic factors such as artist schedule and start time.
However, since the incident has been fermented on the Internet, if the crew is bent on going its own way and starts the camera in spite of the original author's public opposition, it will be saddled with the innate negative evaluation of "even the original author feels that it is not OK" and "the original author wants to cut the seat".
Under the influence of public opinion, the resistance will grow exponentially.
After the novel is adapted into a film and television drama, the evaluation power is no longer concentrated in the hands of the original author.
However, whether the original author agrees or is satisfied is still one of the most important criteria.
Unless the original author overturns the car because of inappropriate remarks (such as the original author of "Son-in-law"), the drama side is unlikely to publicly state that "we have nothing to do with the novel version", and even less dare to directly say "it doesn't matter if the original author says it is not good".
So, will this "West Out of the Jade Gate" be filmed according to the lineup of Ni Ni Baiyu, who is rumored to be rumored to be?
Ni Ni's "Night Traveler" has just been completed.
Bai Yu and Yang Mi previously made up the "Thank You Doctor", which was forced to be interrupted due to the epidemic, and successfully completed it.
In terms of costume dramas, Bai Yu has a "movie-level lineup" of "Wind Rises Longxi".
Judging from the previous works, Bai Yu's "Silent Truth" has seen countless audiences crying, and it seems to be a successful masterpiece of excellent actors.
In the summer broadcast of "Children of the Qiao Family", Bai Yu played the big male protagonist, and the family's lively and noisy life was full of fireworks, which was also very interesting.
In other words, whether it is Bai Yu or Ni Ni, there is no lack of resources, nor lack of acting skills, let alone lack of projects and heat.
The grumbling and sadness of the tail fish is not aimed at the actors, but points to the chaos of the script.
The melon-eating masses complained about the casting, and they did not criticize the two, but felt that their fit with the characters was not high enough.
In the end, we will wait and see how "West Out of the Jade Gate" will turn out.
