The office has moved back to Seven Impressions, and it feels like I'm back at home.

From the beginning of entering the door to the time of entering the office, the people I met along the way were either called "Brother Zhang" or "Teacher Zhang".

Zhang Bufan is now accustomed to it, and he will no longer be at a loss like when he was called a teacher for the first time, greeting people one by one with a gentle smile until he enters the office.

Is this a kind of growth? Zhang Bufan once asked himself.

It should be, just like when I first came to the capital, inherited a small restaurant, changed from a college student to a restaurant, and heard people call me boss, waiter, and chef for the first time.

At that time, Zhang Bufan felt that he had completed the evolution from a boy to a man.

And this time, Zhang Bufan's role is more mature.

Just like the other day, everyone said hello, chatted casually, and entered the official work.

After returning from the set, Zhang Bufan completely returned to the screenwriting team, and in addition to still doing what he did before, he also began to write the plot.

It is said that there are two kinds of screenwriting work in groups like this.

One is that everyone discusses a certain story or a certain plot, and after setting the tone, they are assigned to someone to write, usually the main screenwriter or one of the important screenwriters, and then a few assistant screenwriters or apprentices.

The other is to directly assign a story or plot to several people at the same time, and everyone writes it according to their own ideas, and finally takes it out, which is equivalent to selecting the most suitable one of them.

The former has a clear goal and is completed quickly, but once there is a problem with the screenwriter who is responsible for writing, it will have a great impact on the completion of the script. The latter is more selective, and the final script is highly completed, but the completion speed of the script is slow.

As for which method to use, it was not Zhang Bufan's decision, he didn't join at the beginning, when Guan Hu introduced him to everyone, the others had already started working for nearly 10 days, and they used the second method, Zhang Bufan had no objection to this, so he didn't change it.

There are three screenwriters who are the main writers, namely Yu Miao, Liu Yan and Dong Yunnian, each with two assistants.

Although this method is set, they do not follow it completely, and they will communicate from time to time, and if several people have similar ideas after the exchange, then one of them will directly start writing, which can be regarded as the use of the first method.

Each of these three has its own characteristics, some of them are brilliant in writing and ornate in rhetoric, some are peculiar and exquisitely conceived, and some have a good view of the overall situation.

Zhang Bufan also learned a lot from them, and at the same time, he is also reflecting on whether any of them would be the screenwriters of films such as "Bullfighting" and "Troupe Members", would they do a better job than themselves? Will they also be able to win the Golden Horse Award and the Berlin Silver Bear?

So, did you make those movies, or did those movies make you?

Of course, in these aspects, Zhang Bufan does not drill the horns, for him, that is, I recognize my own shortcomings, and I will learn from better people to make up for my shortcomings.

Such thoughts permeate everything he does.

Just like cooking, over the years he has been a chef, the menu of the small restaurant has been updated, from pure Sichuan cuisine at the beginning, and later added more and more Beijing-style cuisine, and then frontier cuisine and Modu cuisine.

Another example is acting, he has been learning, learning from the students of Beijing Film when he was rehearsing dramas, and later learning from various actors, but if those group supporting roles can perform wonderful content, he will also learn.

As for the screenwriter, before that, he could only learn from books and dreams, which was quite a bit behind closed doors, but now it is different, he has a learning object.

............

Guan Hu attaches great importance to this film, because he sees it as his first step into commercial cinema.

To what extent?

When they were on the set, so many people shared an office, and when they returned to Seven Impressions, they were stunned to vacate 4 rooms in the few rooms, one for Zhang Bufan and Yu Miao, Liu Yannian, and Dong Runnian.

At this time, after the morning meeting, everyone else went back to their offices, Zhang Bufan's side, and the two assistants assigned to him also started to work, they were not qualified to join the discussion and writing of the plot, and the main job was to correct and polish what the screenwriter wrote.

And Zhang Bufan took the things that Yu Miao and the others gave them and looked at them.

After looking at it for a while, his brows furrowed, and after thinking about it, he simply stood up and went out, knocked on the side one by one, called several people out, and finally gathered in Dong Yunnian's office.

"It's still about the identity of several of them. Zhang Bufan put a few pieces of paper on the table in front of him, and he didn't know why, computer notebooks are so popular, but the more he works with words, the more he likes to use paper.

"First of all, I have to say, this problem is to blame me, I only focused on the plot before, ignoring the setting of the characters themselves. Zhang Bufan said, well, this is actually a kind of exploration of being a leader, taking the initiative to take the burden when needed, and reducing the pressure on the team.

"Speaking of this setting, I took a look, although you are all trying to make the setting of their identities more realistic, but it is still not enough, in fact, it is no longer a problem of extension, but there is a problem from the basics. Zhang Bufan continued, then patted the pieces of paper and said, "Several of you have chosen the Eighth Route Army as their basic identity at the same time, but it is an extension of this foundation, right?"

The three of them nodded, this was actually discussed by them, and they felt that since it was an anti-Japanese war drama, it was appropriate to position the identity of the protagonist as the Eighth Route Army, and it could also match the TV series.

Zhang Bufan said: "But in fact, it is not suitable here. I checked a lot of information, at that time, in my country's army, not to mention the Eighth Route Army, it was the other one, and there were almost no such high-end talents, the vast majority of people were actually uneducated, even if they were CEOs and the like, they could be regarded as senior intellectuals if they had a high school degree, so if you write from this aspect, it is not appropriate no matter how you set it. ”

"I think we should think differently and the other way around. Zhang Bufan threw out his thoughts, "What do you mean? That is, we first confirm the abilities of these protagonists, and then use this to deduce their identities." ”

"What can our protagonists do? Language expert, proficient in many Chinese; weapons expert, from pistol to cannon, all play; scientist, the kind who can do high-tech experiments by himself, and is an expert in chemistry, biology, physics, etc.; cryptographic expert, Morse code can be translated directly without using his brain; proficient in psychology and knows various methods of confession; proficient in trap science, can design traps to catch devils, in addition, can cook, sing, drive a carriage, torture to extract confessions, dance and play hooligan. ”

"Damn. This article summed up here, and suddenly he was stunned for a moment, and said: "So, why do I think that we are actually going to shoot a Chinese live-action version of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"?"
