Chapter 366: Can't Keep Up with the Times
For Cui Ji's brazenness, Zhou Mu and Yu Nian unanimously expressed their disdain.
"You don't believe me?" Cui Ji couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "This is an insult to my gold medal screenwriter...... But for the sake of your first-time offenders, I won't bother with you. β
"Phew!"
Yu Nian stretched out his hand to drive away, "If it doesn't work, get out of the way." β
"How could I not be. β
Cui Ji took two steps away and emphatically said, "I am ...... I'm tired, I got up so early today, I visited and studied, and I came back by car, I was tired from running around, and my spirit was not good, how normal it was. β
"When I'm mentally fit, this little thing is as easy as normal. β
He's not bragging, he's having a headache.
What a headache.
Hundreds of pages, very complex settings, world views, how can it be easy to sort out the complete context.
It took ten days and a half months to have some clues. Yu Nianqi's heart can be punished, and he wants to coax him to work for a day, so he will not be fooled.
So while shouting, Cui Ji honestly took a few steps back.
It's not cowardice, it's wisdom.
"It's also the best screenwriter, it's not worthy of the name. β
Yu Nian sneered, then looked at Zhou Mu and said casually: "Best director, what do you think?"
"I ......"
Zhou Mu drank some wine, his face was red, "In my opinion, these settings are all rubbish, and they can't keep up with the dregs of the times." β
Wow!
Cui Ji sighed and paid respect, "You still dare to tell the truth, friend." Lao Yu, you have to listen to this more...... Contrary to the ear. β
β...... Get out!"
"Okay!"
Call......
Yu Nian let out a sullen breath, his expression was a little more serious, "What do you mean by this, what do you mean by not keeping up with the times?"
"Meaning, you're picking up people's teeth. β
Zhou Mu said politely: "The movie world you envisioned, aside from the piecemeal design of the corners and corners, the core idea is nothing more than three directions. β
"One is how the world is destroyed, how can human beings save themselves and rebuild their homeland. One is how aliens are coming, the world is destroyed, and how humanity struggles, sinks, and resists. One is that the world is destroyed, human beings invade other planets in order to survive, human beings are aliens, and justice and evil are confused. β
"That ......," Cui Ji interjected, "I strongly suspect that he copied me from this apocalyptic setting." β
"Shut up!"
Both men scolded at the same time.
Cui Ji scratched his head aggrievedly, he was telling the truth. His doomsday wasteland setting, although not new, is very well structured.
"What's wrong with the apocalyptic setting?" Yu Nian said: "In an extreme environment, the development and conflict of the plot are more interesting. β
"This is what is left of the Galactic Giantship. β
Zhou Mu said bluntly, "Your worldview has not broken the barrier of Luo Tianmu at all, and you are still spinning around under the framework he formulated. β
In an instant, Yu Nian's face turned pale, and he turned red.
The whole studio was silent.
β...... Actually, it doesn't count. β
Cui Ji said cautiously: "Long before Luo Dao, there were many science fiction stories, telling similar ideas and concepts, and then Luo Dao absorbed the nutrients from them, and then carried out some processing and creation, so that there was a galaxy giant ship." β
In other words, a similar setting is equivalent to common sense, and there is no situation where if you use it, I can't use it. β
Cui Ji explained, "This is at most a reference, not even a reference." β
"Whether others have similar ideas or not, you have to admit that the Galactic Ship seems to be the story of an interstellar adventure. In essence, it is a group of people in an extreme environment full of dangers, how to unite and help each other, how to save themselves. β
Zhou Mu shook his head, "After encountering the alien race, there are a series of position issues that torture people's hearts, such as invasion and counter-invasion, salvation and salvation, justice and evil, etc. β
"You dare to say that you didn't steal inspiration from the worldview you constructed?"
He questioned, leaving Yu Nian silent.
Cui Ji played a round again, "What is stealing, it's so ugly." Problems like this stance are not the first of Luo Dao's creation, he also borrowed some elements. β
"Well, I see what he means. β
Yu Nian opened his mouth to interrupt Cui Ji's explanation, and he said with a calm face: "What he means is that if my movie worldview fails to subvert the imagination of the world and does not break the framework of the Galaxy Giant Ship, then no matter how well it is filmed, it will be another Galaxy Giant Ship series at best." β
"There is a galaxy giant ship that specializes in beauty, and everyone has a preconceived idea of it as an immortal classic. In the same quality, I want to surpass it, purely delusional. β
Smack, smack.
Zhou Mu applauded lightly, "Yes, that's what I meant." The accumulation of decades has been deeply ingrained and has become a deeply rooted stereotype in the hearts of the people, which is indestructible. How many film and television giants in the world want to replicate its success?"
"Did they succeed?"
Zhou Mu shook his head lightly, "It's not that they don't work hard, let alone the director, technology, and funding, but they are influenced by the Galaxy Giant Ship, and they always unconsciously innovate on the basis of this movie." β
"Cut, it's all called a replica, is it still an innovation?"
Zhou Mu said slowly: "Many movies, no matter how badly they are changed, the audience can see the shadow of the Galaxy Giant Ship at a glance. β
"In this case, how do you beat the original?"
Woo-ra!
Yu Nian was silent for a moment, and suddenly grabbed a few data cards and tore them to shreds.
"Hey, don't be impulsive. β
Cui Ji hurriedly went to stop it, "The movie universe is useless, ordinary movies are completely applicable, what a waste of tearing up." β
"Don't stop him. β
Zhou Mu pouted and said, "I don't believe it, he didn't file it." β
β......β
Yu Nian stagnated and sat down.
If this were an anime theater, the background above his head would be gloomy now, a sign of despair and a low ebb in his life.
β...... Eh, take a bite. β
Cui Ji glanced at Zhou Mu reproachfully, and also sat down with the plate and handed over a can of beer.
Poof!
Yu Nian opened the pull ring and poured wine directly.
"Creativity doesn't come out of nowhere. β
Cui Ji persuaded, "Look at recent years, there have been a bunch of remakes on the market. It's not because it's difficult to be original, the predecessors are too powerful, after the birth of the art form of film, the film masters of the past generations have taken almost everything that everyone can shoot. β
"In desperation, fried cold rice is the trend. β
Cui Ji said frankly: "Do you know why, I have never been able to draw comics? It is because the creativity I came up with is not new, not unusual, and not amazing, so it has been difficult to give birth until now." β
"Gollum!"
Yu Nian drank beer, a little confused.
In fact, he is sober, and subconsciously knows that there must be something wrong with the movie world he has built.
Otherwise, with his character, he will definitely make a desperate bet and try all kinds of ways to make a movie, instead of shooting fox girls and urban legends first.
Look at his depressed appearance.
Cui Ji couldn't help but complain: "Zhou Mu, can't you say these words to be tactful? I'm afraid he'll be struck by you and he'll be devastated. β
"I think too much about you. β
Zhou Mu folded a few futons and used them as back pillows, and lay down comfortably, "I can't bear this blow, what kind of preaching is the God Butcher." β
"Yes. β
Cui Ji thought so, "Luodao is a big mountain, and it is difficult to even climb it, let alone move the mountain." When I was young and frivolous, I didn't think it was difficult. But now I realize that I was too naΓ―ve back then. β
Zhou Mu patted Cui Ji on the shoulder, and then reached out to drag Yu Nian up, "Let's go, go out for a drink, get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows." β
"Makes sense. β
Cui Ji got up, set up his thoughts with Zhou Mu, and returned to the lawn.
Small barbecue, cold beer, it's so delicious.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Zhou Mu was in the sofa in the office, staggering. With the temperament of Yu Nian Company as home, the company naturally has a place to wash.
He rinsed up, saw Cui Ji lying on the bench, Yu Nian fell on the desk, he didn't bother to wake up the two, said hello to a few interns, and left directly.
Starlight Studios.
At its peak, hundreds of large and small crews started work at the same time every day. Group actors are in short supply, just like big-name stars rushing to the scene.
There are some tricks, this crew was "killed", they didn't even take off their clothes, they hurriedly ran to the next crew, and fell directly to the ground and lay down, saving makeup.
Of course, it was the period of land reclamation, and now many processes have been standardized.
There is an oversupply of group performances, and young people who are bent on climbing up and becoming big stars have poured into the film and television city.
Someone came, someone left, someone came and gone, someone left and came.
Some people have bright eyes, full of vitality, and are positive and enthusiastic. Some people's eyes were numb and their faces were blank, like walking corpses.
Group heads, specials, small dragon sets.
It constitutes all kinds of strange beings.
Many people hope that one day, they will be favored by big directors, big stars, gold agents, producers, and gold owners, and they will soar.
So wherever there are those above characters, there is always a group of idle performers, waiting for an opportunity.
Let's say now......
An assistant director walked out.
In an instant, a group of people rushed over like wild horses.
"Brother, I! I can, I can. β
"Brother, look at me, Zhuang. β
"Brother, if you want a special appointment, I'm fine. β
"Brother, take a step to speak......"
"Come to Genhuazi?"
β......β
A group of people are gossiping, desperately trying to show themselves and sell themselves, just looking forward to an opportunity to sell themselves.
"Go, go!"
The assistant director was annoyed, "How many times have I told you, our crew has no shortage of actors, and there is no shortage of tricks." Don't block the door, go to another crew to try your luck. β
A group of people were disappointed, but it was not a trick.
They were disappointed and scattered.
Some people don't give up, turn back three times in one step, and wait for the assistant director to "change his mind".
It's just that these people didn't wait for the assistant director to speak, but waited for a black car to slowly drive over.
With a click, the door opened, and a man stepped down.
The assistant director immediately nodded and hurriedly welcomed the man into the crew.
"Who is this?"
"The assistant director welcomes you, the gold owner is here?"
