At eight o'clock in the morning, Li Qian and Tong Liya got up early and came to the studio.

"Boss, this is my revised script outline, you can take a look. ”

Su Lun, who had been waiting in the studio for a long time, handed two pieces of A4 paper to Li Qian and looked at Li Qian with anticipation.

Since Li Qian gave her the idea of "Living Together in Time and Space" in August, Su Lun has been in a state of excitement and apprehension.

Before graduating, he got the opportunity to direct a theatrical film alone, which is extremely rare among the graduates of the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy and Chinese Opera in previous years, and there may not be one in a year.

Those who study directing want to make movies, but there are still a few director students who can really engage in the directing industry.

The opportunity came too easily and too suddenly, and Su Lun was also cautious, so it took three full months to conceive.

dropped out of school at the age of 17 in 01 to run the crew, Su Lun knows how difficult it is to make a movie.

There are some opportunities, but if you don't grasp them, you don't know when the next time will be.

"The outline was detailed. ”

Li Qian nodded, the outline of the movie script is as little as two or three hundred, and as many as eight hundred.

No psychological descriptions, no narrative environments, no dialogues.

To put it bluntly, it is to tell a story in minimalist words, which is a routine of starting and ending.

In 2008, Gu Xiaojiao wanted to get back to the big house he lived in when he was a child, so he went on a blind date with a rich man.

In 1979, the depressed Lu Ming wanted to succeed, and this is the beginning.

For some reason, the time and space of two people coincide, and their respective lives change, which is inheritance.

19 years later, Lu Ming, that is, Lu Shiyi's appearance, disrupted their current life, this is turning.

In the end, Lu Ming's conscience was not clear, and he saved Gu Xiaojiao's father, in 1979, Gu Xiaojiao in this time and space grew up to be a rich lady, and Lu Ming was still an ordinary person, this is He.

Su Lun's outline is minimalist, which is almost like this, but she fills in a few more details, and it almost becomes a complete story.

However, this kind of outline, given to some impatient directors, will not be able to read it when it is so long.

It's the script under a little expansion.,It's no longer an outline.,If something isn't right, look at a hammer.。

I took a look at another piece of paper, that is, the character analysis, the setting of each twist plot... And so on and so forth.

Piecing together the contents of these two sheets of paper, it is already a half-finished script.

Put down these two pieces of paper. Li Qian asked Xiang Sulun, "Are you sure you choose this ending?"

As a movie that is related to time and space, there are too many options for the ending.

"Living Together in Time and Space" can end with the two protagonists of the last two time and space across time and space on the street to meet the last face, and leave a blank space.

can also have a happy ending like "Frequency of Life and Death", where the hero and heroine were together in 2008 in the time and space of the heroine.

In the end, Su Lun chose the third, in 1979, Lu Ming in that time and space and Gu Xiaojiao in that time and space met, but Gu Xiaojiao in this time and space didn't know Lu Ming at all.

These are the three most typical ones, and the other endings can't escape these three aspects.

Romance films are different from family films, they don't necessarily have to have a happy ending, many classic romance films are either dead male protagonists or dead female protagonists, and if you don't die, you won't be classic.

But if you want to sell well, it's best to have a reunion, because the most important thing for a family is reunion, which is different from love.

"I already want it, I want to compromise. Su Lun nodded, he had already put three endings in the past three months, and even he had thought about more possibilities, all of which had been in his mind countless times before he was determined.

"Okay, the two met in the end, and there was also a blank space, allowing the audience to imagine how Lu Ming, an ordinary middle-aged man, won the heart of a young and beautiful rich lady. ”

Li Qian smiled, put down the two pieces of paper, and Tong Liya next to him immediately took them and looked at them.

Although this is not realistic in reality, it is just a film and television drama, what kind of reality is it to talk about.

If Lu Ming succeeded in setting up time and space in 1979, and later became a real estate tycoon, and then chased the young Gu Xiaojiao, then the taste would be wrong, and it would be cut off from the previous plot.

After receiving an affirmative reply, Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief, and his clenched hands also loosened.

"Still. ”

Li Qian's words made her nervous again.

"This outline and the content on the following page are already a half-finished script, and these details don't need to be detailed to this extent when creating, and when the time comes, they will have to think about it again when they are connected together to write the script, and it will take a lot of effort. ”

Li Qian didn't say anything, and gave another example as he spoke, "I now want to have an outline, such as writing a fool's story, Xiao Ming is a fool, he wants to find a girlfriend, but no one is his girlfriend."

But what if he could find it, so he went to find Xiaoli and Xiaofang in the same village, but they were all rejected.

However, Lao Wang next door asked him to look for Xiaohong, but he didn't find Xiaohong there.

Just when she was disheartened, Xiaohong appeared again, but Xiaohong had a boyfriend, Xiaohei.

When Xiao Ming was in despair, he went to talk to a tree, and he was surprised to find a hole in the tree.

So he became evil, began to dislike people, liked trees, and happily showed off to the villagers that he had a special girlfriend, attracting the whole village to watch.

Everyone thought Xiao Ming was crazy, but he found happiness as a human being. ”

It's a little simpler, the fool Xiao Ming wants to find a girlfriend, and after chasing several people who can't catch him, Lao Wang asks him to find Xiaohong, Xiaohong has a boyfriend Xiao Hei, and the fool finally finds a tree to be his girlfriend.

After a pause, Li Qian continued, "The outline is a general story, like the story above, how Xiao Ming chased Xiaoli and Xiaofang, how to make a feud, who Xiaohong is, and even Xiaohong can be a dog, Lao Wang is playing with him, how he was chased by two dogs, and so on.

When writing the outline, think about all the details in detail, and then write the script and have to go through it again, the brain will be very tired and messy, it is better to change the script later, and save a little worry.

Of course, if you are used to writing like this, and if you have the time, you can do whatever it takes for you. ”

In the director industry, everyone's style is different, even in Hollywood, where the film industry is industrialized, those big directors are not according to common sense, and they have their own habits.

Su Lun listened carefully, although he didn't know if it was suitable for him, but he wrote it down first.

"Boss, I see. ”

"It's better to come to yourself as you like, get the script out as soon as possible and start preparations, preferably at the end of next year, don't delay it for too long. ”

Su Lun should go down and go to work on himself, and the semi-finished script was left to Tong Liya, who is also the heroine who has been booked.

"Senior sister, you have time to read this, and I'll send it to you when the script comes out. ”

"Well, don't rush, take your time. ”

Tong Liya smiled, she also liked this story, and she knew that not everyone was like Li Qian, a movie was so fast from writing the script to shooting.

Waiting for Su Lun to leave the office, Tong Liya turned around and slammed Li Qian's chest with a small fist, and said angrily, "What kind of example did you just give, what about the tree hole, Su Lun is a girl and doesn't pay attention." ”

"I thought about it temporarily, and then what does it have to do with girls, I am talking about a person on the margins of society who is pursuing the most basic state of human existence, which is a question worth pondering, this is art. ”

Li Qian spread his hands and said, "You see Su Lun, she doesn't think so much, it's just that you yourself are impure again, you think crookedly, and you don't know what you're thinking about all day long." ”

"You're still talking about me!"

Tong Liya angrily punched Li Qian again, thought for two seconds, came up with a word, and smacked him, "You old driver." ”

The term old driver originates from a folk song "Old Driver Takes Me" in western Yunnan in 04, because it is too explicit and conservative criticism, and gradually a small number of people on the Internet have played the word old driver badly.

Now that the Internet is not widely spread, Tong Liya didn't know what this word meant before, and she had only heard it from Li Qian's mouth a few times.

Until one day, Li Qian suddenly asked her to tie a double ponytail.....

Thinking of the little love between the two, Tong Liya immediately blushed and kicked Li Qian again.

"Holy!"

was hammered twice and kicked once, which made Li Qian inexplicable.

"Ignore you. ”

With a light snort, Tong Liya sat on the sofa with the half-finished script and read it.

Li Qian touched the back of his head, thinking about why he suddenly became bored when it wasn't a day today.

I don't understand.

I came to the computer and flipped through the news.

Although it hasn't started to be released today, and the first show has to wait until nine o'clock to start, tens of thousands of people have seen the movie at the premiere + zero o'clock, and some media and film critics in the industry have also watched the premiere, and those who haven't seen the premiere have also watched the zero point show.

As one of the three most popular movies in the Chinese New Year, it is also the first of the three movies to be released, and the secrecy publicity effect before the release is good, and now the news of the movie release can basically be seen on the entertainment pages of various websites.

"After a long time, director Li Qian's new work, the sci-fi blockbuster "Moon" premiered last night at the Beijing UME Huaxing Cinema, and the audience at the premiere responded strongly, and hundreds of audiences spontaneously applauded after the film screening, which lasted for a long time!"

"The Chinese New Year is coming, and the 100 million yuan box office director Li Qian's latest masterpiece "Moon" hit the box office of 2.7 million at zero point!"

"Since the beginning of the new century, the first real science fiction movie in the history of Chinese film has been born, and Li Qian has created a new era of domestic films!"

"Suspense + science fiction, Li Qian told you that small-budget movies can also make blockbusters!"

"The zero-point field of "Moon" has a strong box office of 2.7 million, and hundreds of movies across the country are extremely popular in the early hours of this morning, and the annual zero-point box office is second only to "Red Cliff"!"

"In the early hours of yesterday morning, the reporter conducted an on-the-spot interview in a cinema near the university town of Haidian in Beijing, and when it was about to 0 o'clock in the morning, the lobby of the cinema was already crowded with audiences who came to watch the movie, according to the theater manager, this cinema alone sold more than 400 movie box office that night, and the popularity can be called the most in the second half of the year!"

......

The wonderful sci-fi film, the response of the premiere audience, and the high box office and high attendance rate of the zero-point field revealed by Guang Envy naturally ushered in the praise of the media.

Anyway, blow it first, and when the time comes, see how the audience reacts, and if it doesn't work, turn the muzzle of the gun and spray Li Qian to death.

In the early morning, most of the media were dispatched, and one after another was sprinkled like snowflakes on every corner of the Internet.

As for "Love Call Transfer 2" released yesterday, even if it is a sequel, there is an all-star lineup such as Deng Chao, Wang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, Lu Yi, Su Youpeng, Tong Dawei, and Nie Yuan, which has also been swept into the trash by the media at this moment.

With such a strong lineup, the joint investment of China Film, Magic Shadow, and Paige Taihe is not enough to see in front of Li Qian, a director with a box office of 100 million yuan.

Not to mention, Li Qian is more topical than other directors with a box office of 100 million yuan, and he is about to face the two directors Cheng Kaige and Tsui Hark.

Moreover, the box office of "Love Call Transfer 2" was only more than three million on the first day, and the movie was not even as good as the first one.

The first part is the story of Xu Zheng and a bunch of women, and the second part becomes the story of a woman and a bunch of men.

Probably so, Li Qian didn't look at it.

And the box office of the two movies released last week, "Peach Blossom Luck" starring Ge Wei and Fan Binbin, is also like this, with about 3 million on the first day and 15 million in the first week.

And "Witness" is even worse at the box office, although the reputation is not bad, but the box office in the first week is only 5 million.

Xie Tingfeng failed miserably at the box office, as the leader of the Mesozoic actors in Xiangjiang, it was a big surprise to hand over this result.

It is estimated that domestic filmmakers have also seen clearly that in addition to the top group of Xiangjiang actors, other actors are just like that, and they can't afford the box office.

These three movies, together are not enough to watch "The Moon", which has almost been abandoned by the media at this time.

The media can't wait for the release of "Mei Lanfang", and no matter who loses, it will be a news feast for the media.

A new director is strangled on the road to fame by an old famous director, or a stepping stone for a veteran director to become a new director, no matter what happens, the media and industry insiders are happy to see it.

After reading the news, it was all the same manuscript, nothing new.

As for the audience's response, it is not very much, and I have to wait until the evening, when it is released for a whole day, to see large-scale audience comments.

The first movie generally starts at nine o'clock and finishes close to twelve o'clock, so Li Qian also brought it to eleven o'clock in the studio and ordered a table of dishes in a nearby hotel.

Propaganda is a hard job, and I will go after dinner.

"Yaya, you have to go home and rest, I can rush back before nine o'clock in the evening. ”

Tong Liya wiped the oil on the corner of Li Qian's mouth with a tissue, nodded and said, "Well, you come back early, do you want me to help you prepare for supper?"

"Just get some of it, don't make it too troublesome, you can't eat much at night. ”

Only when you are full can you have the strength to work!
