On March 20th, Tang An received Xu Zheng in the studio, and in more than a month, he had completed the first draft of the crew, of course, it was only a simple first draft, and it could be roughly seen what the story was.

Of course, this script is not storytelling, with no lyrical sentences, figures of speech, and psychological descriptions of the characters.

Literature and a script are completely different, and a script is to express a series of images in words.

Let the people who read the script see the text and immediately associate a picture, bringing them to the world of animation.

Tang An spent nearly an hour reading the script and counted several pages, which was about 30,000 words.

The number of words in a script is also very important, and the word count of a general movie script is mostly between 20,000 and 40,000 words.

After all, movies are not like TV series, but they can drag the rhythm, and later many people watched those TV series at double speed, and some even opened 1.5 times without disobedience.

The 30,000-word movie script doesn't even have as many pictures as the 10,000-word TV drama script.

In the West, the mainstream standard movie script is generally 120 pages, which is equivalent to 120 minutes in length.

A page in the script is equivalent to a minute on the screen, and the Hollywood film industry strictly requires the industrial system to do it, just like the assembly line, there is a perfect process.

Generally, it takes ten pages to make people understand who your main characters are, what is the premise of the story, and what is the situation of the story.

These ten minutes are to let the audience form an impression, and also determine the initial perception of the movie.

Then it is divided into the first act, the second act, and the third act, with a general ratio of 1:2:1, that is, construction, confrontation, and ending.

These are the most basic, and there are subdivisions in between.

Just like online literature, readers like to watch the protagonist pretend to be slapped in the face, and some books can still be read with relish even if they are clichéd, mediocre, typos, logical, and lack of common sense.

More books, even if they have fewer shortcomings, will still be boring to read.

The rhythm is very important.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and some directors' scripts are just a few pieces of paper, claiming that there is no script, and even storyboard scripts are not used.

There is a mouth at the beginning, and the rest depends on the editor.

Xu Zheng's script is very standard, and history is always surprisingly familiar, Xu Zheng still chose Thailand, and the storyline that happened in Thailand is basically the same.

Seeing Tang An put down the script, Xu Zheng hurriedly asked, "Mr. Tang, what do you think?"

This is the first time he has completed a script independently, except for asking Yang Qing for some things when filming "Nightclub".

"It's a very interesting story, and there are some scenes that I think are hilarious when I think back to them. Tang An smiled and gave affirmation.

Xu Zheng sighed, but he knew what Tang An would say next.

Sure enough.

"Your script is a bit hollow, though. ”

Tang An leaned forward a little and preached to him, "The confrontation of the contradiction in the middle is well grasped, I won't talk about this, but mainly talk about the construction and ending of the beginning." ”

The rhythm in the middle is not bad, Xu Lang accompanies Wang Bao to go shopping, helps Wang Bao realize his N travel plan→ strays into the underworld trading scene→ escapes from the underworld→ Xu Lang scolds Wang Bao away→ long shot shows that it rains → Xu Lang Wang Bao went to the village → Wang Bao doused Xu Lang's computer with water......

The rhythm is relaxed and well-controlled.

"The beginning is where the contradictions are expressed, and the ending is to solve the contradictions, the contradictions of the three male protagonists, and the internal contradictions of this Xu Lang's family, between business and family, you are not outstanding enough. ”

"Only when the problem is solved can the audience feel happy, for example, Xu Lang strayed into the room of a man and two shemales, and was caught red-handed by the man, and the conflict appeared, and the way to solve it was that the man punched Xu Lang in the face, and the conflict was resolved. ”

"In the end, you must perfectly solve the contradiction between Xu Lang and his wife, the contradiction with Wang Bao, and the contradiction with Wang Bo. This is still a macro contradiction, and there are some subtle contradictions, such as Wang Bo's toothache in the script, and his wife gave birth smoothly, you forgot to mention it......"

.......

Xu Zheng listened to Tang An's explanation very carefully, and did not despise him because of his youth.

He is not qualified to despise him, with Tang An's achievements in recent years, I don't know how many directors in China imagine him asking for advice.

And what Tang An said is very reasonable, he also thought about the beginning and end of "People in Embarrassment", which is indeed as Tang An said.

"Mr. Tang, I understand, I'll go back and change the script, and I'll show it to you when the time comes. ”

"It's okay, there's no rush for this, take your time, I only have one request, just shoot the movie well, and it can be released during the Spring Festival next year. Tang An smiled.

......

Then in the afternoon, Tang An went to Huayi and talked to Wang Zhongjun about the election of the next four little flowers, Huayi basically did not have the qualifications of the new generation of actors, and he also promised to help with this.

Then Tang An found Zhu Mo, director of the Propaganda Department, and Zhang Yijun, director of the Public Relations Department, and contacted some domestic media.

Tang An personally went to meet with the four major portals and some well-known media, and this election was led by Tengxun, with the participation of hundreds of media, and the voting rights were in the hands of those reporters.

It must be very difficult for Tang An to push a third-tier star, but the two people he mentioned are absolutely qualified, and basically nothing will go wrong.

Then Tang An went to CCTV again, and this time CCTV will also participate in the selection, and will report on this "post-80s new generation entertainment star activity".

At the same time, the new four major students will be selected, this is meaningless, I just chose it in 06, if you want to choose a post-80s male star, you basically can't find a few.

What's even more ridiculous is that the four major students have been selected four times in the past five years from 12 to 16 years, and the more they go to the back, the more useless they become.

At the end of the month, Tang An went to Hengdian again and visited Yang Mi, who was filming "Beauty Scheming".

This time, Yang Mi played the second female lead in it, and played three roles by herself, but she avoided filming a rape scene.

Although there are a lot of glamorous shots, they don't show much more than a one-piece swimsuit.

This role is still quite challenging, Yang Mi's acting skills at this time are still passable, and it is a TV series, so he can cope with it.

At the beginning of April, Tang An officially started post-production, and some preparations in the early stage have been done, just start cutting directly.

On April 21st, the rough cut was completed in 20 days, and at this time, Lu Chuan's "Nanjing Nanjing" was about to be released, and Xingmei Media also sent him an invitation to the premiere, and Tang An went to see this old friend.

PS: There seem to be a lot of Qing court dramas recently, what "The Legend of Ruyi" and "Yanxi Raiders", does anyone know which emperor in the Qing Dynasty hasn't filmed, Kang Yongqian has finished filming-_-||
