Chapter 563 - 275: That Person Is the Star Thief (Part 1)
Gong Yulu felt it was indeed a mistake to read these updates because she found Su Jiameng’s inner monologue at the time too cutting, piercing her heart painfully. She indeed was a puppet without self-identity. Even though she had shed the puppet’s identity, she still lacked her own "way." Su Jiameng’s "way" was to guard and protect the Alliance... but what about hers?
The so-called "way" is what one desires to pursue in their heart and is willing to sacrifice everything for.
To be honest, this question is too artistic, and classmate Gong Yulu had never thought about it. Her interests and hobbies were broad, spending much more time in the research lab than wielding a gun on the battlefield, preferring dissection to piloting a Mecha. However, all these interests were initially forcibly imposed on her by others, and she never really thought about what she truly wanted.
In the past, so-called colleagues always said she was a born researcher, cold-blooded and unemotional, calm and composed, rational and tranquil. Even if the person lying on the dissecting table was a comrade she once fought alongside, she could still wield the knife calmly, injecting various deadly experimental medicines. She even hypothesized that, if Su Jiameng had been caught back then as a research subject, she would probably have hardened her heart too?
Wrong, as a puppet, she had already lost her heart. Even though she found it again later, looking back on that time, she didn’t feel anything was wrong... Helplessly supporting her forehead, she indeed hadn’t fully shaken off the influence of those things.
Considering someone’s ruthless, octopus-like speed at the keyboard, there were soon new updates. But Gong Yulu decided to hold off and see how Su Jiameng would muddle through this segment of the plot... Haha, she must be troubled by this too, right?
After all, [Wu Su] was just a character with almost no presence, yet had such a significant role and plot at this time. The abruptness was not ordinary. Additionally, there was a popular [Wu Su] fan-pinned novel thread in the book review section, causing the entire book review section to explode, with lurking old readers and new readers flooding in with complaints. Gong Yulu found it quite amusing...
Making Su Jiameng cut [Wu Su]’s scenes and presence, now she’s slapped in the face, right? Serves her right...
Of course, no matter how intense the criticism on this topic, it couldn’t overshadow the author’s response to the rumors about the TV adaptation. The novel is really getting adapted to a TV series! Who will the actors be, how will the cast be, will they really find a domineering goddess to play Major General Su? Will the post-production depict the disfigurement and bandage scenes? If they do, lighting a candle for the actors is a must...
Throughout the serialization so far, Major General Su’s appearance didn’t even make up one-twentieth of the story. The rest involved her being bandaged, her aura relying on her gaze, strength, and lines. As for her face, it might as well be guest-starring as a mummy in a museum.
Of course, looking at so many adaptations nowadays, how many have truly succeeded? There are a dime a dozen with ruined disfigurements and breakdowns. All in all, adaptation has become synonymous with "destroying novels and the originals." They feel they need to brace themselves for a perfect Mary Su Major General, already preparing tissues to savor all the criticism...
In the hearts of many readers, Major General Su is inherently a warrior, fully bandaged, always standing with a straight spine, not a man or a woman, even less a perfect Mary Su. She can be injured and near death and faces various emotional setbacks... At times very magnificent, yet sometimes as ordinary as the most ordinary people.
If a pretty woman, only good for selling her face and figure, coy and pretentious, plays this role... Certainly, it would be blind!
This novel still has many loyal hardcore fans within a small range. If it’s truly ruined in filming, there will surely be no shortage of criticism! Of course, while some anticipate a successful adaptation, others hold little hope, or even mock its chances.
Of course, those mocking aren’t deliberately nitpicking; rather, the world setting of the novel is vast. From the screenplay and actors to the scene arrangements, one wrong move could easily ruin it. Better not to film than to ruin a classic in their hearts!
Most of the Queen’s fan group members don’t have high hopes. Observing the adaptations over the years, which one has succeeded? Of course, when Lucy and Xu Na mentioned the author would personally get involved in the scene and Insect Race model design, everyone suddenly gained confidence.
