The classic story structure of this kind of thing, really to believe, is indeed there. For example, Yu Rongguang's version of the New Tianlong Eight destroyed Jin Yong's classic story structure, imitating the three lines of the Game of Thrones in parallel, but the failure in editing led to many book fans and Jin Yong fans abandoning the drama early.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > classic is a tribute to the classic</h1>
However, Korean screenwriters have learned from the classics on the road of suspense dramas, from "Monsters" by Bai xiangshi Toshishi Teishin Hajun to Ji Sheng's hit Korean drama "Devil Judge", all of which have the shadow of the nineteenth-century French writer Alexandre Dumas's "Count of Monte Cristo". So why these two plays are successful, the script, is a hard work.
The story of "The Count of Monte Cristo" tells the story of the return of the avenger after the male protagonist has been persecuted. Because of the best-selling and popular fiction ceiling of The Count of Monte Cristo, the classic structure of this story ---- suffering, fleeing, repaying favors, and revenge, and becoming the object of learning for future generations.
These veins can also be seen in the huge structure of Jin Yong's novel. It's just that writers and screenwriters with deep skills know what they need, which parts are strengthened, and which parts are simple, and they will never copy them.
The Korean drama "Monster", which aired earlier this year, clearly uses the core of this story: the return of the Avengers.
This avenger suffered the killing of his loved ones. At the heart of the story is revenge. But the sequence of stories already has its own narrative and doesn't borrow exactly from the narrative of The Count of Monte Cristo.
In the revenge link, the content of the victimization link is interpolated to explain, and the reward is also contained in the revenge link in the way of action. And the process of revenge, as a policeman, has its own way.
"Demon Judge" is actually at the core, and it is also the core of "The Count of Monte Cristo": The Return of the Avengers.
In the narrative structure of the TV series, it also completely abandons the narrative of "The Count of Monte Cristo", but fully learns the narrative logic and style of "Monster".
In the process of revenge, the death of ---- relatives will be interpolated. The parts of escape and retribution are basically skipped, and the main body is placed on revenge.
It is clear that this structure has been very successful.
Why?
Because it completely gets the audience's preferences.
On the one hand, ordinary audiences are kind and willing to sympathize with the good victims and the weak. Therefore, although "Monster" and "Demon Judge" appeared, Shen Hejun and Chi Sheng's aura was very powerful, and their abilities were very explosive. However, after the tragic life behind it is slowly revealed, the moral and emotional balance of people's hearts has been completely tilted to the protagonist, breathing with the protagonist and sharing fate and fully empathy.
This foundation is important because on the basis of this empathy, the audience can accept the protagonist's slightly unconventional behavior.
When the protagonist behaves out of line, such as Chi Sheng in "Demon Judge", who bribes the witness layout, he will definitely win the trial; for example, in "Monster", Shen He uses his niece's finger to fish for law enforcement... When these seemingly unorthodox and procedurally unjust acts appear, the audience will tell themselves in their hearts that they are bitter and that they will not be able to avenge success without doing so.
On the other hand, the plot setting in the process of revenge is also important. This requires the screenwriter's original plot twists and turns of bizarre traps and conspiracies to lead the audience from lost to suddenly enlightened step by step.
The plot of "The Count of Monte Cristo" has been well demonstrated, but you can't copy it all, you can only understand it, and then use it in your own story.
And "Demon Judge" and "Monster" are used very well, basically interlocked and wonderful. Instead of declaring war on everyone at once, they pulled in their revenge targets one by one through one incident after another. Then through the net, the small boss and the big boss are cleaned up one by one, so that the story always maintains suspense and attractiveness, and finally there can be surprises.

We often say that every era has a way of interpreting the classics in each era. The Korean dramas "Monster" and "Demon Judge" have both the shadow of "The Count of Monte Cristo" and very consistently keenly capture the interests and preferences of the current audience.
What is naturally said here is the setting of the two male protagonists.
Although I don't know why this setting is popular now, it is clear that throughout Asian TV dramas, TV series that now have this tendency are quite well received. Two costume dramas with this tendency in the mainland have become blockbusters, and the actors who participated in the show have become popular steamed buns. Although the screenwriter tried his best to change it to socialist brotherhood, everyone who can understand it understands it.
And Korean dramas, which specialize in this type of drama, are not so popular, and the dramas that are repeatedly tempted on the edge of brotherhood are quite popular with the audience. Monsters and Demon Judge are like that.
Although the absolute male protagonist must be Shen Hejun and Chi Sheng. They are true avengers.
But Shenhe has Lu Zhenjiu, and Chi Sheng has Park Zhenrong.
The big male protagonist is a mature and stable black man, while the other protagonist is a proud and youthful impulsive persona, is the human setting surprisingly similar?
Looking at their development lines in the two dramas, they first met premeditatedly, then suspected each other and visited each other, then cooperated for various reasons, and then misunderstood in cooperation.
In the end, Lu Zhenjiu in "Monster", for justice, helped Shen Hejun design his father, and also ruined his splendid future, and the two iced their former suspicions and became capitalist brothers again.
And "Demon Judge" has not yet finalized, and has now advanced to the stage of being provoked and misunderstood in cooperation.
What do you think? Can't we say exactly the same, we can only say exactly the same?
Moreover, we can find that the fluctuations are always male two. The firm one is always the big man. Because he's an Avenger. He couldn't watch the play unsurely.
So, in fact, after the analysis of popular passwords, you will find that the routine is unremarkable, there were people using it a hundred years ago, the main problem is, you have to learn ah, right? Don't always think that I'll come to an unprecedented TV drama routine, no. Learning from the classics, coupled with the new ideas of the times, can become a classic. I hope that we will adapt the classics in the future and learn this method as well. Instead of self-righteously believing that you are better than the master. When adapting, the essence of the master was cut to pieces. As a result, everyone saw that the new Tianlong Eight parts scored 3.4 points.
