After chatting with these screenwriters, Yue Guan came up with a lot of inspiration.
It’s not just about the choice of actors.
It also includes the setting of the role he wants to play.
After sending away these screenwriters, Yue Guan locked himself in his study and spent a day in seclusion.
The next day.
Mo Xiangwan saw a refreshed Yue Guan.
"nailed it?"
"I have basically figured out my character setting and the main plot line. This will make it much simpler later on. I can just fill in the plot along the main line, but I'm afraid I have to break my promise."
"What broken promise?" Mo Xiangwan didn't understand.
"Before, I wanted to make "The Gatekeepers" an ensemble drama, but according to my current setting, the character I played in the first season would occupy the most scenes, and there would be no ensemble cast. But after the second season, I This character will gradually disappear and only appear at the last critical moment, and then the character with the most plot will become someone else's character."
Mo Xiangwan blinked and chuckled: "This is a good thing. You were supposed to carry the popularity and ratings in the first season, but no one else can carry it except you."
"That's right." Yue Guan didn't think this was a big problem.
Since you have to work on it for many seasons, there is no need to just focus on the present.
The plot of the first season will definitely revolve around his character.
If Yue Guan can't support his grades, others can't even do it.
Maximizing the role played by Yue Guan is the most reasonable choice.
"Let me take a look at the script you wrote."
Yue Guan handed over his laptop.
Mo Xiangwan looked at it carefully.
After a long time, Mo Xiangwan closed Yue Guan's notebook, rubbed his head, and tried hard to digest the information he had just seen.
"Yue Guan, your breakthrough... is a bit bold." Mo Xiangwan hesitated: "Isn't it a bit too risky?"
"Sister Xiang Wan, you told me to try my best to break away from the shackles of the emperor's role, so I can play a mediocre ordinary protagonist."
Mo Xiangwan rolled his eyes at Yue Guan: "I believed your evil, you call such a protagonist mediocre?"
"It's ordinary. Even the protagonist's name is Wu Qi." Yue Guan innocently said.
Mo Xiangwan: "..."
If she hadn't read the script, she would have almost believed it.
"Yue Guan, are you sure you can play such a perverted role?" Mo Xiangwan was a little worried.
Yue Guan's acting skills have always been reassuring.
But Yue Guan has never challenged such a role before.
It was hard for Mo Xiangwan to imagine that Yue Guan would play such a role.
how to say
It doesn’t match Yue Guan’s temperament and image.
Regarding this, Yue Guan was very calm: "How can I know if I haven't acted before? As an actor, I must challenge some different roles."
"This one is too different... and too perverted." Mo Xiangwan complained.
"Sister Xiang Wan, Wu Qi is not a pervert, he is just an ordinary ordinary person who yearns for a peaceful life."
Mo Xiangwan: "...I now believe that you can play this perverted protagonist well."
It’s so early to start playing in advance.
He is truly an experienced actor.
"If you can really play it well, this character will really attract fans. The setting is so brilliant. Yue Guan, your brain really works."
"Actually, he's not very outstanding. Wu Qi is just an ordinary person who yearns for an ordinary life."
Mo Xiangwan raised his hand: "Stop it, don't get into the scene so early, the filming hasn't started yet."
"Okay." Yue Guan took away his magical power and started chatting normally: "Sister Xiang Wan, do you also think there will be a market for Wu Qi's setting?"
"There will definitely be one. I've never seen a TV series filmed like this. Plus you're the one acting in it, so it's hard not to be popular."
The setting given by Yue Guan to Wu Qi is as follows:
Wu Qi, an ordinary person living in Juxia City, is single and unmarried, and works as a courier for Xifeng Express. Because he is honest and hard-working, his monthly income is 10,000 yuan, which is neither high nor low in Juxia City. It is really average.
Wu Qi's biggest goal is to buy a house and a car in Juxia City, marry a gentle and beautiful girl, and have a smart and lovely child.
At present, Wu Qi has deposited 300,000 yuan and is making steady progress towards reaching his small goal of buying a house and a car in Juxia City.
In the eyes of outsiders, Wu Qi is ordinary.
In Wu Qi's eyes, he is also very ordinary.
But he knew in his heart that he was not an ordinary person.
Because he discovered that his body was different from ordinary people:
You won't be tired, and you will recover quickly if you are injured. Even if you are hit by a car, you will recover after just sleeping.
Simply put, he has extraordinary resilience.
But Wu Qi didn't tell anyone about his abilities, he just continued to deliver express delivery diligently.
What he was thinking was that once this ability was revealed, it would definitely be sliced and studied.
I would rather die than reveal my true abilities.
But whatever you fear will come.
Wu Qi doesn't want to reveal his true abilities, but extraordinary troubles always come to him.
In order to prevent these troubles from affecting his normal life and revealing his true secrets, Wu Qi had no choice but to kill them all.
No one was spared.
Although Wu Qi always thought that he was just an ordinary person, his fighting power was unusually high.
When trouble came to him, they all looked awesome.
He punched them all to death with two punches.
The first time he killed these troubles, Wu Qi was still very scared.
I got used to it the second time.
The third time... I was just bored.
Why do you want to disturb my peaceful life
I just want to be an ordinary ordinary person and live an ordinary life.
Wu Qi is a person who combines knowledge and action. He thinks and does this, so he loves work, works diligently, and his income has steadily increased.
If it can continue like this, Wu Qi will be very happy.
But one day, he smelled trouble again in his residence.
Just when Wu Qi was about to take action, an exorcist named Ma Xiaoling descended from the sky and solved the problem for him.
Wu Qi thought he was in trouble this time.
However, he soon discovered that the trouble had just begun.
He obviously didn't know the exorcist named Ma Xiaoling, but when Ma Xiaoling saw him, she called him "Uncle Kuang" as if he were an acquaintance.
Wu Qi felt baffled.
He showed Ma Xiaoling the name on her work permit, but Ma Xiaoling still called him Uncle Kuang, and said that she was now a member of Xifeng Express Company and did not need to keep it secret from her.
Wu Qi: "???"
Along with this Ma Xiaoling, Wu Qi suddenly discovered that the Xifeng Express Company where he had been working seemed to be an extraordinary company.
Even a powerful exorcist like Ma Xiaoling is a member of West Wind Express.
According to Ma Xiaoling's story, in 1999, he and Ma Xiaoling's aunt fought side by side against aliens.
Wu Qi said, are you kidding? I am just an ordinary person. I had not grown up in 1999.
Then Ma Xiaoling took out a photo of her aunt and Kuang Tianyou.
Wu Qi was shocked when he saw the person who looked exactly like himself in the group photo.
As an ordinary person, Wu Qi felt that this was a conspiracy against him.
He decided to investigate the truth and nip the danger in the bud.
During the investigation, there was still a steady stream of trouble coming to him.
Wu Qi constantly eliminates these troubles to prevent them from affecting his normal life.
As the investigation deepened, the trouble coming to him became more and more powerful.
Wu Qi also felt that his abilities had become inexplicably stronger.
And he found out more and more truths.
It turns out that what Ma Xiaoling knew was not entirely the truth.
That Kuang Tianyou is also him, yes.
But he is more than just Kuang Tianyou.
There are also many amazing identities.
All this originated more than two thousand years ago.
At that time, Zulong was punished by heaven for going retrograde and attacking the sky. The Immortal Qin Empire was torn apart, and heroes from all over the world gathered together to compete.
The ones who had the last laugh were Overlord Xiang Yu and Han King Liu Bang.
The conflict between Chu and Han shattered the mountains and rivers. The Overlord Xiang Yu is the strongest man in the world, while the Han King Liu Bang is assisted by the military immortal Han Xin and the sage Zhang Liang, and is protected by dragon energy. He is the true dragon emperor chosen by God.
In the end, Liu Bang, the king of Han, gradually gained the upper hand and forced Overlord Xiang Yu to Wujiang River in an attempt to completely annihilate Overlord Xiang Yu.
At this critical moment, demons from outside the territory invaded the human world, catching both Chu and Han by surprise.
In order to protect the world and eliminate the demons, Xiang Yu, the overlord who thought he had failed in the competition, turned himself into the eye of the formation and asked the soldier immortal Han Xin to set up a demon refining formation, and all future demons would be banned.
The conflict between Chu and Han was a civil war, but the demons were foreign enemies. He banned the demons with his own death, and Xiang Yu deserved his death.
Since then, Overlord Xiang Yu has disappeared from the world. Later history books record that Overlord Xiang Yu was defeated at the hands of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, and committed suicide in Wujiang River.
However, the Han Dynasty respected Xiang Yu very much, and even included Xiang Yu's biography in the biography of emperors. With the dignity of overlord, he was ranked alongside the emperors of all dynasties. Xiang Yu was the first person.
Xiang Yu was determined to die and used himself as the center of the formation to ban the demons. However, he did not want to wake up the ancestor of the zombies, the general, who had been sleeping in Wujiang since ancient times. As a result, he accidentally became the general's successor and an immortal zombie.
After turning into a zombie, Xiang Yu possesses the magical power to destroy all the banned demons. However, at this time, the Han Dynasty has been decided and the world has returned. Yu Ji is dead and Jiangdong has surrendered to the Han Dynasty. Xiang Yu no longer has any nostalgia for his grand hegemony, so Choose to sleep.
This sleep lasted for hundreds of years.
When Xiang Yu was awakened again, he had already changed to the human world.
The Han Dynasty perished, the Five Husbands destroyed China, and the people of the Central Plains were wiped out. The evil spirits were rampant between heaven and earth. It was obvious that there were demon stars that were causing trouble and bringing disaster to the world.
Xiang Yu woke up from his deep sleep and couldn't bear to see this world.
However, Xiang Yu had been dead for many years in the world's knowledge, so Xiang Yu changed his name to Ran Min. He killed five beauties with heads rolling around and killed the demon star. He was also seriously injured and fell into a deep sleep again.
This time, he slept longer.
After waking up again, it was already the time of World War II.
At this time, the Dragon Kingdom was fighting against the whole world with the power of one country.
Xiang Yu would naturally choose to help Long Guo. After all, they have the same skin and the same blood.
So he changed his name to Kuang Tianyou, joined our army, and became a high-ranking official in the army.
Later, Kuang Tianyou met a natural Taoist by chance and gave him a lot of adventures. This man shone brightly during World War II. He was known as "half man, half ghost, the best gunman", and was also called the captain of the Dragon Kingdom by many people.
Ordinary people have ordinary people's battlefields, and extraordinary people have extraordinary people's battlefields.
At this time, Destiny was in the east. Kuang Tianyou woke up again and found that he no longer had to fight alone. There were other extraordinary beings guarding the Dragon Kingdom. Some of them were not even inferior to him in strength, and their backgrounds were also very scary.
Kuang Tianyou was overjoyed to find someone with his comrades. He fought side by side with several of his comrades to fight against the extraordinary organizations in the West. They gained the upper hand and even broke into the Western Holy See. As a result, the Pope changed twice, and for a time the East became extraordinary. A forbidden area.
The Dragon Kingdom's army was also unstoppable on the battlefield. If traces of the large-scale invasion of the demons had not been discovered at this time, the Dragon Kingdom might not have been able to insert the Dragon Flag all over the world again.
But this time the demons came with great force, more dangerous than in the Chu-Han era.
Kuang Tianyou was the first to discover the crisis of demon invasion. At this time, there were still decades before the demon invasion, and humans also needed time to prepare.
The Dragon Kingdom chose to stop fighting. With a formidable enemy in front of them, they could no longer continue their internal strife.
Western countries disagree.
So the extraordinary beings from the East, headed by Kuang Tianyou, traveled all over the world to talk to the leaders of these countries.
Then, World War II ended and there was world peace.
Countries began to recuperate and quietly continue to strengthen, waiting for the invasion of demons to come.
This wait will last until 99 years.
The war begins.
The momentum of the demon invasion was indeed ten times greater than during the last conflict between Chu and Han. Even if all the countries in the world joined forces to fight against the enemy, they could only barely support it.
It is said that it is an invasion of demons, but in fact it is just an invasion of aliens on the earth.
It's just that those who are not from my race and invade my homeland are all demons, so there is nothing to say.
This battle was extremely fierce.
Almost all the extraordinary people have come out, descendants of Guigu, descendants of Nuwa, exorcist dragons, Taoist heavenly masters, Buddhist monks, land gods, superpowers, super soldiers...
Of course, that includes Kuang Tianyou.
Due to God's immortal zombie body, this battle was completely exhausted. He and the invading alien commander died together, which became a decisive victory in this defense war.
After this battle, Kuang Tianyou seemed to have lost all his extraordinary abilities. He himself was tired of fighting, so he voluntarily chose to have his memory erased.
He hopes that he can live an ordinary life in the future, no longer bear too many responsibilities, and live his life carefree.
Xiang Yu, Ran Min, Kuang Tianyou... are all great. They are all great figures who can leave their names in the history books. However, after being a hero for a long time, you will get tired of it.
He has guarded the world for too long.
From now on, I just want to be an ordinary person.
As a result, Kuang Tianyou "died in battle".
Wu Qi was "born".
The encounter between Ma Xiaoling and Wu Qi brought the group of heroes who had been secretly guarding the world back into Wu Qi's sight.
Veterans never die.
There are successors.
This is the story of the first season of "The Gatekeepers."
