Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 259: A Drastically Modified Script. (Please Subscribe)
"My Love from the Star" is actually a story about an urban expert coming down from the mountain.

However, he placed the main character on a star billions of light-years away.

Then, he accidentally wandered onto Earth and went through a series of stories of showing off and getting slapped in the face.

In online novels, it's basically written the same way.

However, the way "My Love from the Star" portrays the character's arrogance and face-slapping moments is quite refreshing and natural.

This is also one of the earlier installments in the "Urban Master Descends the Mountain" series.

It became an instant hit throughout Asia upon its release.

undoubtedly.

This work was naturally more popular than "The Youngest Son of a Tycoon".

However, this version was written by Chen Yang.

Chen Yang made some slight adaptations to this drama.

For example, the male protagonist, Do Min-joon, was originally set by Chen Yang to arrive in the Song Dynasty, the earliest place on Earth.

The female protagonist's past life was spent accompanying a princess to China as part of her dowry.

Because Do Min-joon was new to Earth and didn't understand the world, he made a lot of jokes.

The kind-hearted female lead took good care of Do Min-joon in her past life and taught him a lot of common sense about Earth.

Jiao Minjun was very grateful to her for following the wedding procession all the way.

Unexpectedly, shortly after arriving in China, the princess's husband, a prince of the Song Dynasty, passed away.

The princess was also sent to the countryside by her husband's family.

A year has passed.

The princess also left this world.

The female protagonist longed to return to the Goryeo Dynasty in her past life.

But she was thousands of miles away and couldn't go back at all.

Professor Do then escorted the female lead all the way, and after a year, the two finally returned to the Goryeo Dynasty.

But in the end, the female protagonist was just an ordinary person in her previous life.

She will die after a hundred years for mortals.

It hasn't even been a hundred years yet.

On one occasion, the male protagonist was being chased by government soldiers, and the female protagonist was also killed in her previous life.

Although the male protagonist eventually avenged the female protagonist's past life, mortals are simply gone once they die.

But Do Min-joon is immortal.

He lived from the Song Dynasty all the way to the modern era.

More than 1000 years have passed.

The former Goryeo Dynasty has now transformed into a bustling metropolis.

Just as Do Min-joon predicted that the star he was on would appear in its predetermined orbit this year, he could finally go home.

But he had one unfulfilled wish.

A few years ago.

He saved a little girl.

The little girl looked exactly like the girl he had escorted all the way to the Goryeo Dynasty in his previous life.

He wanted to see the girl one last time when he returned to his planet.

It took more than two hours.

Chen Yang wrote the first episode of "My Love from the Star".

The first episode was sent to Kim Soo-pyeong's email address on South Korean BBS TV.

No surprises.

Such a classic script.

Upon seeing this, the Korean BBS TV station immediately prepared to sign a contract with Chen Yang.

Signing a contract is no problem.

However, Chen Yang also made two requests.

The first requirement.

The words "Chen Yang's work" must be prominently displayed at the beginning of the film.

Yes.

Chen Yang is now trying every possible way to increase his fame.

Each increase in fame brings a boost.

So his copyright price increases by millions or even tens of millions each time.

This request wasn't unreasonable, and BBS TV agreed.

The second requirement,
That is, Chen Yang needs the domestic internet distribution rights for "My Love from the Star".

BBS TV considered this request.

I learned that in China, internet film and television copyrights are not paid at all, nor are they protected by the authorities.

They eventually agreed.

As for why Chen Yang wanted the internet rights to "My Love from the Star".

One reason is that Chen Yang already had a stockpile of film and television internet copyrights.

The copyright to "My Love from the Star" may not be worth much now, but it could be very valuable in the future.

With the popularity of this work, it can generate a considerable profit for Chen Yang every year.

Let's not talk about a lot, let's put it on a smaller scale.

Hundreds of thousands every year, over several decades, that adds up to a considerable sum.

Plus.

Chen Yang knew this too.

Dramas like "My Love from the Star".

It's estimated that domestic TV stations won't be able to import it.

Because it's rather fantastical.

If you want to watch this show, you can only do so through internet platforms.

Also.

Chen Yang also collaborated with Boss Jia.

The copyright of "My Love from the Star" to Jia Yueting's LeTV will also generate a considerable income.

……

BBS TV is very efficient.

Or.

Their efficiency has always been very high.

It's like writing a novel online.

Chen Yang simply sent over the first and second episodes of "My Love from the Star".

A week later.

The cast for "My Love from the Star" had already been chosen.

Three more days passed.

Filming for "My Love from the Star" has officially begun.

of course.

Besides its high efficiency, this is also due to other factors.

The plot of "My Love from the Star" is set in the city, and although it features some supernatural abilities, it is not particularly fantastical.

It can be done with a little computer-generated special effects.

The male and female leads are similar to the actors in my previous life.

This left Chen Yang somewhat helpless.

The male lead in his previous life had a scandal.

But considering that it would be more than ten years before this guy's business collapsed, I decided to let it go.

He has a certain degree of fame now.

However, the casting decision cannot be made yet.

Even if it's a dragon or a snake.

Chen Yang had only offered suggestions before; the final selection would ultimately depend on China Film Group's decision.

Of course, Dragon and Snake Part 2.

Chen Yang's words carried much more weight.

Just like a few days ago.

Han Sanping from China Film Group then communicated with Chen Yang, and would refer to Chen Yang's opinions on many aspects.

……

"Teacher Chen Yang, I heard that your drama 'My Love from the Star' has already started filming on BBS."

Boss Jia was well-informed and made a phone call to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang replied, "Mr. Jia, that's impressive. I, as the screenwriter, only just heard the news." "Don't be modest. I heard that BBS TV is taking your script very seriously. Do you think this drama might break another record?"

"That's hard to say."

Although in its previous life, "My Love from the Star" created a terrifying record.

But Chen Yang didn't want to make any definitive statements before the film's release.

"How do you think it compares to your last one?"

"It should be able to surpass it."

"Okay."

Upon receiving Chen Yang's confirmation, Mr. Jia was quite excited: "Mr. Chen Yang, as soon as 'My Love from the Star' premieres, I'll immediately upload it to our LeTV website. By the way, I'm also planning a big promotion."

"Mr. Jia, this is really going all out."

"Hehe, high-quality video sources have always been what our video website values ​​most. It's really Mr. Chen Yang who has foresight, setting up the plan so early and holding so many high-quality video sources."

"These rights have all been granted to LeTV. As long as we cooperate well in the future, LeTV can continue to own the copyrights."

As for Boss Jia...

Chen Yang neither liked nor disliked him.

Although Mr. Jia went to America in his previous life.

But since Mr. Jia had never cheated him out of his money, he had nothing to say about Mr. Jia.

As for who Mr. Jia cheated?

They're scamming people who're all incredibly wealthy and powerful.

Furthermore, even if Chen Yang knew that Boss Jia would abscond in the future, it would be many years later, just like that celebrity whose career collapsed.

For now, Mr. Jia is still a diligent and hardworking student, and there's nothing that can't be done with him.

Take a step back.

Even if Mr. Jia runs away in the future.

Chen Yang will not be dragged down by him.

after all.

Chen Yang is not a shareholder of LeEco.

His cooperation with LeEco has always been through licensing.

If he runs away later, Chen Yang can easily license these copyrights to other video platforms.

To be honest, Chen Yang still admired Boss Jia's foresight.

Since Mr. Jia has such good judgment...

Chen Yang decided to give him a push.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yang said, "President Jia, you just said you were planning a big promotion?"

"Ah."

Mr. Jia nodded: "You know that the competition among domestic video websites is fierce now, and each one is backed by a giant. LeTV started late, has no background, and no resources. If we want to seize the market, we have to strike first."

Chen Yang chuckled.

You boy.

He speaks without thinking.

If you didn't have connections, could you have developed so quickly?

But Chen Yang didn't expose this, and continued, "There's a problem, Mr. Jia, as you know. Piracy is still very serious in China. Although the higher-ups are paying attention, they haven't taken any major action. LeTV can do a big promotion, but I'm afraid that such promotion will directly drive traffic to other video websites, and we won't get much benefit and will waste a lot of money."

"Don't worry, Teacher Chen Yang, I will definitely not let this situation happen."

"Okay, Mr. Jia. I don't have much experience in website operation, but if I do, I can give you some advice. Okay, let's talk later."

With a smile, Chen Yang hung up the phone.

Chen Yang understood the meaning behind Boss Jia's last sentence.

……

"Bu Yang Shen, I heard that South Korea is preparing to film another script you wrote?"

"Damn, everyone here is so well-informed."

"It's all over the media, even the money's been revealed."

"Uh... well."

What's the theme this time?

"Urban-themed stories are about masters coming down from the mountain to show off and get their faces slapped."

"Damn... Bu Yang Shen, you've made such a high-class TV series sound so simplistic."

“That’s how it is.”

For those who haven't read online novels, "My Love from the Star" is a must-read.

He might find it very innovative.

But for those who have read online novels...

"My Love from the Star" doesn't offer much innovation.

As for why so many people are still watching?

The main reason is that "My Love from the Star" is the first domestic TV series featuring a master who comes down from the mountain to show off and get slapped in the face.

No matter how well-written the text is, it can't compare to a TV series.

So whether you've read online novels or not.

They will all be very interested in "My Love from the Star".

I chatted with everyone in the authors' group.

Chen Yang then began writing the third episode.

but.

This version is quite different from the previous one.

Anyway.

The drama "My Love from the Star" has a certain influence throughout Asia.

Chen Yang also wanted to incorporate more Chinese culture into "My Love from the Star".

For example, the series of landscapes seen along the route from Kaifeng to the Goryeo Dynasty.

Chen Yang wanted to show them the beauty of China's land.

For example, Chen Yang created the character of Professor Do as a calligraphy master.

As for when he became a calligraphy master.

Naturally, after arriving in the Song Dynasty, he became fascinated by Chinese characters.

More than 1000 years later, Professor Do has long since become a master among masters of calligraphy.

even.

Some of his calligraphy works are so realistic that they are indistinguishable from the real thing.

such as.

He wrote about some of Su Dongpo's works...

As for why it can be so convincingly fake.

One is that Professor Do's calligraphy is of a very high standard.

another.

Back in the Song Dynasty, Professor Do met Su Dongpo.

He even discussed poetry with Su Dongpo.

This could be considered a radical adaptation of "My Love from the Star".

However, it's said to be a heavily modified version.

But it's actually not too bad.

It just adds a few more side quests; the main storyline hasn't changed much.

But even such a side story is enough to catch one's eye.

of course.

This drastic modification wasn't something Chen Yang had just come up with.

In his previous life, Chen Yang had this idea when he watched "My Love from the Star".

This idea came from the book "Nine Cloud Dream" that Do Min-joon liked to read.

"Nine Cloud Dream" is a famous work of the Goryeo Dynasty, equivalent to "Dream of the Red Chamber" in China.

Set in the Tang Dynasty of China, the story tells of a revered master named Liu Guan on Lotus Peak who spread moral teachings and always carried a copy of the Diamond Sutra. He had a young disciple named Xingzhen, who, after encountering the Eight Fairy Maidens, was banished to the mortal realm for his lust for worldly riches and honors. They were reborn into different families. Xingzhen was reborn as Yang Shaoyou, the son of Yang Chushi of Xiuzhou County, Huainan Circuit, during the Ming Dynasty. The Eight Fairy Maidens were also reborn into the mortal world, where they reunited and enjoyed all the riches and honors they had.

Of course, this work is not as well written as "Dream of the Red Chamber".

But even so.

Because of the influence of this drama.

The Korean novel "Nine Cloud Dream" sold out in China.

This kind of cultural export is terrifying.

Therefore, in his own version of "My Love from the Star," Chen Yang incorporated as many Chinese elements as possible.
