From the moment she received this project, what she thought was how to make an adaptation that conforms to the aesthetics of film and television while respecting the original work. "If you change magic, you will lose the meaning of IP adaptation, and make reasonable adjustments in the big framework, background of the times, relationship between characters and plot direction set by the original novel, which is in line with the adaptation of film and television dramas." This is what Cheng Cheng asks of himself.
In the process of adaptation, Cheng Cheng visualized the hidden information and plot in the novel, promoted the development of the story by means of grass and snake gray lines and interweaving light and shade, and integrated the feelings of ancient books and poems into his lines, thus writing "Welcome to the Pearl Lady" full of the beauty of Chinese studies, feelings of home and country, and various human feelings.
Tell a good story from the details
In terms of plot, in order to present a better impression and let the audience feel the different personality characteristics of each character in the play, Cheng Cheng and his partner Zhang filled in richer elements and details on the premise of respecting the original work, opening up a fuller and more touching story line for the audience.
For example, the figure set for exploring flowers in Israel should be a martial arts champion, but why only explore flowers? The novel does not explain the reasons in detail, leaving room for readers to think. In the process of adapting the script, Cheng Cheng fully spread this point, and supplemented the plot of On Zhu Jie, which made netizens call it Juezi, which not only increased the plot, but also presented the growth process of Shanghai Beach.
