Chapter 24

If you ask, is it difficult to be a screenwriter?

That's nonsense. Of course it's difficult. Otherwise, why would the Best Screenwriter Award be established at the awards of major film festivals?

If you ask again, is it easy to be a screenwriter?

In fact...it's quite easy. At least it's like this in Huo Dong's eyes.

The crew brought several laptops and installed printers, photocopiers and other office equipment. In just over ten minutes, Huo Dong took the original script of "The Immortal Palace", and he learned the standard format for writing scripts. Then he asked Liu Shi several questions and quickly understood the script. Adding up, it was not even an hour after [Liangcheng www.wsx5.cn]?

Sometimes we have to admit that academic masters are not humans.

For a screenwriter, there are three most difficult points:

First of all, it is definitely to write a new story. You need to make a name out of nothing to play this game of Three Kingdoms. If there is no new story, how can the director draw a storyboard? How can the actor perform? So this is the basis of everything.

But in this situation, the original script has been included, and Liu Shi is responsible for revising the new outline, and Huo Dong does not need to compile the story, so this has nothing to do with him;

Secondly, considering the connection with the shooting, it is necessary to facilitate the crew, especially the director's shooting work. If you can't write a planet, but the investment is only a few million, you can only have a 50 cents special effect. No matter how good the script is, no matter how good the director and actor are, the gods cannot save them?

Therefore, in many films, there are self-written and self-directors. The screenwriter and director are the same person, so there will definitely be no problems in connection. In addition, many famous directors have their own personal screenwriters, which are also for this consideration.

Of course, here, the new script is under control, and this has nothing to do with Huo Dong.

The last one is the screenwriter's spatial imagination. This tests the screenwriter's skills the most, that is, this is the basic skill of becoming a screenwriter.

So what does spatial imagination mean?

You should know that everything in the script is for the convenience of shooting, and everything is for the crew.

Many laymen may not understand it. Scripts and novels are different things, while literary scripts and scene scripts are even more different things.

Let me briefly introduce that novels generally have clear timelines that conform to readers' reading habits. The same is true for literary scripts, which can also be understood by readers, mainly for publication, and for those outside investors to read.

In real shooting, the scene script is used. Perhaps in the previous paragraph, it is the beginning of the film, the heroine is playing and picking up shells by the sea; the latter paragraph is the end of the film, the heroine is hunted down by a group of killers by the sea. It is because of the same scene, so it is put together. The reason is very simple, there is no need to change the scene at all, which can save shooting costs.

In addition, the scene script is quite boring, simple and straightforward, telling the story clearly in the simplest words, and focusing on lines. Enriching the picture is the director's job, giving the character emotions is the actor's job, and all of these have nothing to do with the screenwriter.

Therefore, being able to understand the scene script requires writing ability, memory and brain-stimulating ability. One irrelevant scene can bring a complete story scene into your mind, which requires a lot of learning and training.

It can be said that if a three-dimensional geometric slag gave him a scene script, he was basically like reading a heavenly book. Without that kind of brain and space, he could not read it at all. From this we can see that perhaps mathematics and art still have a slight connection. Embarrassment!

However, is this difficult for Huo Dong?

Writing ability? Humph!

Memory? Hum!

Brain ability? Humph!

It’s not that I look down on those poor students. For our prince, it’s just a matter of spending dozens of minutes and getting used to it.

So when Liu Shi asked, "Dongzi, do you understand?"

Huo Dong replied: "I understand."

Liu Shi seemed quite surprised. Then he was really happy: "Dongzi, maybe you are very talented. Consider it and go to the director department to take the exam! What's the point of being a broken idol? That really has no future!"

Of course Huo Dong understood that it was Liu Shi who cared about him. But this body... He didn't even have a high school diploma, so how could he take the college entrance examination? As soon as he graduated from junior high school, he was taken to Menghui Entertainment and became an idol trainee.

"Brother Shitou, I have a Chinese graduate in my room. Do you want him to come and help?" Huo Dong asked. Since I had a drink, it would be difficult to be the same. My prince is so righteous! Besides, Lao Jiayong even speaks so romance, which is just suitable for such shocking idol TV series.

"Of course." Liu Shi is now better than the more heavier, "But there is no signing reward, including you, and the crew does not have this budget, you are just helping me. If you do well, I can still fight for you and get some allowances for you. But the allowances will definitely not be much."

"No problem." Huo Dong didn't care at all. Liu Shi gave him a chance to gain experience, and Huo Dong also had an opportunity to observe the crew's operation up close. As a newcomer, he couldn't buy it no matter how much money he spent. Therefore, he didn't care about the rewards at all.

As for Lao Jiayong, he had to recover from his injuries. Now the crew can at least have food and accommodation, so what else can I not be satisfied with?

...

Sure enough, when he heard that there was such an opportunity, Lao Jiayong climbed over with his crab legs. He was full of energy, and there was a small flame of excitement in his eyes.

Even Guo Zifeng volunteered. Although he couldn't be a screenwriter, he could at least run errands and do chores. Such a person is needed here.

The new screenwriter team was finally established. Liu Shi began to arrange the division of labor: "Let's do it first. I'll straighten out the new outline first. You two are familiar with the old script first. Select the scenes that can be used, especially those shots that have been shot. Try not to scrap the reshoot. As for those that need to be modified, you should also try to fill in some scenes. You must complete the new outline in the past two days, and a meeting will be held the night after tomorrow. As for those new scenes? You can do it while shooting, and it's not that urgent. Anyway, you will do this first. If there is any problem, we can discuss and solve it."

After saying that, Liu Shi took off his hair... on his head, revealing a shiny big bald man. Damn, Teacher Saitama has already possessed him. Is this a desperate rhythm?

Nothing to say, start to burst!
