Chapter 979 Make it a classic in commercial films
For Li Mu, creation is a state of mind. Once he enters the state of mind, it is like being isolated from the whole world and wandering in the ocean of creation. This feeling is hard, but it is particularly pleasant. .
When creating the movie script of "Quick Chase", Li Mu really found the highest level of creation. The entire script was completed in one go, which seemed hasty, but also included many of his meticulous thoughts and improvements.
"Quick Chase" is based on the story of Wei Lan being kidnapped, but on this basis, Li Mu made some changes in artistic creation, and made certain addition and subtraction in the background and plot.
Among them, the causes and consequences of knowing oneself and Wei Lan’s true identities are subtracted, and the couple directly enters the story, making it lighter and more convenient when starting;
The emotional scenes of the male and female protagonists in the play are added, which is equivalent to adding a new main line to the entire rescue theme, that is, the development line of the relationship between men and women;
The contrast and conflict between various characters and plots in the play is added. The plots are constantly high and the rhythm is controlled very well.
The core main line of the story is that the heroine is kidnapped. In the 100-minute movie, this main line is about the heroine being targeted by the kidnappers, who were successfully kidnapped by the kidnappers. The kidnappers professionally hide various clues. The police are more and more involved in the investigation, and they are almost desperate in the end. The progression of the entire rhythm will push the plot to the most exciting and anticipated key point. At this time, the hero's inspiration appears, and the tension that has been advanced before is released in an instant. This huge contrast will definitely make the audience excited.
Li Mu felt that this rhythm control is like constantly pressing a spring to the extreme and then releasing it in an instant. Only in this way can the release of kinetic energy and emotions be achieved to the extreme.
In addition, the relationship between the male and female protagonists goes from not understanding each other, on the verge of breaking up, to cherishing each other and reconciling. This emotional line itself is also a huge contrast. Although the emotional line is somewhat bloody, it has to be admitted that the emotional scenes in most movies are a bloody collection. The reason why the emotional scenes in some movies are touching and classic is not that it is separated from the nature of the bloody collection, but that its plot tension is greater.
"Titanic" tells the bloody story of a girl in the upper class who is dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by her parents, dissatisfied with the rich second-generation fiancé, disobeyed his wife on a cruise ship, cheated on a small penis, and cuckolded her fiancé. It is a big part of the reason why it became a classic because in the final shipwreck accident, the male protagonist sacrificed himself for the heroine, and used his own death to maximize the tension of the plot, which made hundreds of millions of viewers cry.
If the hero and heroine arrive in the United States safely on a boat at the end of "Titanic", then elope together, and live a shameless life, then this movie will naturally not become a classic.
Li Mu naturally had no ambition to create a classic movie. All he thought was to make this script into a film and television work with excellent commerciality. This is the real product manager's thinking.
The product manager never wants to develop a product that will be called a classic. He just wants to develop a product that is most popular with users and can be paid out from users' pockets.
After Li Mu has been making products for a long time, he not only has a clear pursuit of the commercial nature of the product, but also has an extremely thorough analysis of users. Therefore, when he truly completed the script of "Quick Chase", his keen sense of product told him that this script is already perfect in product architecture, and whether it can succeed after it is converted into a product depends on the specific development process.
A good commercial director is essential, and in addition to this, the casting of the film is equally important.
Li Mu felt that since this movie needs to be filmed with Makino, he must be a producer. For nothing else, just to ensure that the movie can achieve the quality of a commercial film, he must make this movie a classic in a commercial film.
After the script was completed, Li Mu spent several hours repeatedly proofreading to confirm that everything was correct, and there was no typo or a punctuation misusing it. It was already the morning of the third day.
The exhausted Li Mu slept until one pm, so that Li’s father and mother were a little puzzled. Why did his son lock himself in the house most of the time after finally coming back?
However, out of respect for Li Mu, Li’s father and mother did not care much about it. It was just that Li’s mother was quite distressed by Li Mu’s work and rest periods that were distorted by black and white.
At around 1:00 p.m., Li Mu walked out of the room with a chicken coop-like hair. When Li's mother heard him come out, she hurried to the front and asked with concern: "My son is awake, are you hungry? Is there a meal for you in the pot? It's still hot, hurry up and eat a few bites while it's hot."
Li Mu rubbed his eyes, his stomach gushes, he smiled and said, "Mom, I just woke up from hunger..."
Li's mother hurriedly pulled him to the restaurant. While complaining that he had a messy schedule and did not pay attention to his health at all, she served him food and rice, brought it to him and said to Li Mu, "Eat quickly, your father called me just now and asked me if you have already started."
Li Mu asked: "Where has my dad been?"
"In the department store." Li's mother said: "The construction progress there has been more critical recently. Your dad and I have to go there every day."
As he said that, Li Ma looked at the time and said, "You, don't stay up late if you say anything tonight. Have you heard?"
Li Mu nodded: "I know, I will definitely not stay up late tonight."
Li's mother said: "You locked yourself in the house when you come back this time. It's mysterious. Your dad and I haven't told other relatives about your coming back. In this blink of an eye, it's the third day of your coming back. Do you think you're still telling them about your coming back this time?"
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Or don't say it anymore. I'm afraid I don't have much time to stay at home. There are still many things to do in Yanjing, so I won't tell anyone this time."
Speaking of this, Li Mu suddenly remembered Su Yingxue, and didn't know what she was busy at home. Although he promised her to try her best to go home, when she really came back, she wasted two or three days because of a script. School was about to start in two days, and she didn't know if she was still in Haizhou.
When Li Mu heard what he said, Li's mother nodded with support and said, "Then I won't tell anyone. You can rest for two days at home and go back to Yanjing quietly, otherwise all kinds of social engagements will make you feel bad."
Li Mu smiled and said, "My mother loves me the most."
"Just talk nonsense." Li's mother gave Li Mu a blank look and said, "You eat first. Mom goes to the company. There is something to deal with this afternoon. Come back early after the work. What do you want to eat in the evening? Mom buys it and makes it for you."
Li Mu said, "I can do anything, just make a decision."
Li's mother smiled and said, "Then mom will make the decision by herself."
Li Mu discovered that his family was actually workaholics.
Needless to say, I wish I could spend all my life, and my parents were the same. Good guy, when I was busy with my career, I was also full of energy to forget my meals and sleeps. When my son came back, he did not disrupt the pace of their work at all.
Li's mother left, Li Mu was at home by herself. While having dinner, she sent Su Yingxue a message asking where Su Yingxue was now.
Su Yingxue replied: "I have arrived at school. What about you when I arrived this morning?"
Li Mu said in surprise: "You'll go back so soon?"
Su Yingxue said: "Yes, today is the seventh day, and classes will start tomorrow. If you don't come back, it will be too late."
Only then did Li Mu realize that a National Day holiday had already passed like this.
At this time, Su Yingxue replied again: "Where are you?"
Li Mu wanted to say that he was in Haizhou, but when he thought that if he was in Haizhou and missed meeting Su Yingxue in Haizhou, he felt a little bad, so he replied to her: "I will do something in Hangzhou and will go back to Yanjing in two days."
Su Yingxue didn't think much about it. After chatting for a few more words, they stopped communicating with text messages.
After dinner, Li Mu called Wei Lan and wanted to tell her the news that the script had been completed. In Li Mu's opinion, the first audience of this script must be Wei Lan.
Wei Lan thought that, with the actual situation of a super busy person like Li Mu, the script of this movie would probably not be seen until the end of the year, but she never dreamed that after more than twenty hours, Li Mu called and said the first sentence: "I have finished writing the script and sent it to your email address. You can check it out first. If you have anything unsatisfactory, just put it in your opinion and I will modify it!"
Wei Lan thought she was dreaming: "I wrote it out so quickly? You are teasing me, are you..."
Li Mu said: "When did I lied to you?"
After saying that, Li Mu said again: "I will send the script to your yy email later, and you can check it out first."
Wei Lan couldn't hide her excitement and said: "Then send it to me quickly, I'll read it now!"
"Okay, wait a moment."
Li Mu hung up the phone, went back to his room and turned on his laptop, and sent the script document of "Quick Chase" to Wei Lan's yy email.
After a moment, Wei Lan's yy avatar flashed, she gestured with a "yeah" gesture, and said to Li Mu: "I'll take a look!"
Li Mu replied to her: "Okay, look, I'll go take a shower."
After fighting for the script for so long, Li Mu was a little sloppy, which looked like he was when he was doing closed development in a small startup company. He didn't take a shower for several days and nights, and he didn't even care about washing his face.
At this moment, Wei Lan, who was far away in Yanjing, opened the email sent by Li Mu with anticipation. When she saw the attached document called "Quick Chase", she smiled and said to herself: "The name is not bad!"
Chapter completed!
