Chapter 66: A Script
Speaking of scripts, we have to briefly introduce the definition of scripts.
Scripts are broadly divided into two categories: literary scripts and photographic scripts. Its Chinese scripts are more literary, and such as drama scripts, sketch scripts, crosstalk scripts, etc., all belong to the category of literary scripts. The photography script is really a script that highlights the sense of shooting, and the literary quality is relatively low. Photography scripts are divided into storyboard scripts, storyboard scripts, scripts, etc.
If you want to shoot a movie or a TV series, you must have a shooting script, which is also the basis of TV drama films.
A good script is, of course, a good story, and a good story is also the foundation of a good script. There may be many screenwriters who write scripts that are not standardized, but the film and television dramas made are very good, which is the role of a good story. Of course, the role of the director in this cannot be ignored, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, no matter how good a director is, it is useless if she does not have a good script.
In his previous life, Wang Bao participated in hundreds of movies and TV series, and he also came into contact with many scripts. There are one or two pages of scripts, even one or two sentences, and there is also a complete set of complete scripts. He also tried to write a script at the same time, and for this he also learned how to write a script. But although the format of his script is standard, the story is really too poor, and none of them can be sold.
As the saying goes, if you are familiar with 300 Tang poems, you can't compose poems and chant them, which means that if you read more and see more, you will naturally do it.
So Wang Bao is still full of confidence in plagiarizing a few scripts.
Of course, the script is not copied casually, after all, there are still many differences between the two worlds, and some dramas must not be copied, just if you want to change it. And it's not good to play too long, mainly because Wang Bao can't remember, or can't remember it completely. So now the choice is not very wide, and the movie is definitely okay, because Wang Bao can remember that if you want a TV series, you have to choose it carefully.
At the beginning, Wang Bao was spinning around in domestic dramas, and later he realized that foreign dramas are also acceptable, of course, some European and American dramas are definitely not suitable, so you can only copy Japanese and Korean dramas.
After thinking about it, Wang Bao finally decided on one, a sci-fi urban love idol comedy - "You from the Stars".
This drama was very popular back then, very, very, very hot! Wang Bao watched it several times, the first time was the most trendy one, and then I watched it a few times with various friends, and when I was bored, I would turn it out and watch it. So Wang Bao really remembers this drama deeply, and this drama is not long, and it is very suitable for this time and space adaptation, which is completely in line with Wang Bao's goal.
Wang Bao typed the name of the script "You from the Star" on the computer, and then began to write the script slowly. Because there are some things that need to be changed, I was very slow at first, but when I got it right, the slow pace started to pick up. With Wang Bao's previous experience in writing movie reviews on online water forums, and scolding each other, his typing speed has basically reached the level of about 15 crosses per minute.
The original plot began with the appearance of a flying saucer recorded in the "Records of the Joseon Dynasty", but of course it can't be written like that now. Wang Bao checked on the Internet, and there is a book on similar aspects, "Notes on Strange Stories of the Ming Dynasty", which records all kinds of strange things that happened in hundreds of Ming Dynasty. And coincidentally, it also records the time of a flying saucer, which is about 400 years old.
Wang Bao didn't know whether this matter was true or not, and if it was fake, it would be too much of a coincidence. But if it's true, it's a bit bizarre. But in any case, Wang Bao just used this record to adapt the script, which is really suitable.
So the script begins with:
1. Subtitles
"Chronicles of the Great Ming Dynasty"
Ten years of Xinwu in the Ming Dynasty, nine books of strange things, spring, the tenth day of March
In the direction of Quang Ninh, Jinzhou, Ningyuan, and Yongping Fu, the sky is the size of a basin, and the disc looks like a luminous object. After hanging in the middle of the air outside the city of Yongping Mansion, its object is as big as a mountain, accompanied by bursts of thunder, the heaven and the earth are shaken, the viewer thinks that the immortal weapon, after the same fire and disappear into the sky. After that, the sky was clear......
2. Earth Vision / Daming Yongping Mansion Street / Bazaar / Day Wai
Flying saucers fly at low altitudes, passing through crowds, mountains, forests, city gates...... People were amazed.
3. Mountain and forest trails/cliff edges/sunset
……
The changes in the whole script are actually not too big, but many details must be paid attention to, and if you don't pay attention to it, there may be goofs problems. In particular, some scenes and names of people have to be changed little by little.
Wang Bao definitely can't change it all at once, he can only copy it out from memory, and then check the information, and even check some scenes himself.
So this script will not be completed in a while, but it is not too difficult for Wang Bao to copy the original script, so the speed is very fast, and in half a day and one night, Wang Bao wrote two episodes of the script in one go. Of course, this must not be 100% the same as the original plot, but it can reach 95% overall.
At four o'clock in the morning, the sky outside the window had begun to be a little misty, Wang Bao kept it after writing, and he rarely stayed up late, feeling very tired all over. Standing up and stretching, Wang Bao looked into the distance through the window, the lights of the city and the morning light of the sun were blended together, and the early risers had already started their day's rush for life.
It has been more than a year since he came to this world, Wang Bao has slowly adapted to life in this world, began to have friends in this world, and even made a big star girlfriend. Everything is dreamy, but it is real to him, and sometimes he himself is a little difficult to distinguish between the real and the false.
In a few days, "Song Season" will be recorded, so Wang Bao will hurry up to write the songs of the album in the next few days, and then ask Song Jia to arrange the recording of the album as soon as possible.
Twisting his somewhat sleepy neck, Wang Bao turned around and went to the bathroom, washed and cleaned up his personal hygiene, and then went out to eat breakfast at the breakfast stall at the entrance of the community.
Wang Bao has a small market at the entrance of their community that specializes in selling breakfast, and there are five or six breakfast stalls in it, which are basically breakfast styles from the north.
By the time Wang Bao came, these breakfast stalls had already opened for business, and the steaming steamed buns and freshly fried fritters and pancakes all exuded an enticing aroma.
Wang Bao sat down and ordered a few breakfasts, then sat on the small bench in front of the small table prepared by the stall, picked up a pair of disposable chopsticks, broke them and kept polishing the chopsticks.
"Your buns and fritters, slow use, tofu brain and stew are ready to go. "This chubby, kind-looking eldest brother is the owner of the stall, and his family sells xiaolongbao fritters and oil cakes, as well as braised boiled fire and soy milk and tofu brain.
Wang Bao took a small dish by himself, got some aged vinegar, and then scooped a little chili oil as a dipping water for the buns.
Pick up a bun and dip it in the water, eat it in one bite, although it is very hot, but the sour and spicy flavor mixed with the fragrance of the bun, immediately filled the entire mouth.
One night of writing consumed a lot of Wang Bao's body energy, and a delicious bun went down to his stomach, which greatly satisfied his empty stomach.
"It's delicious!" Wang Bao let out a heartfelt exclamation.
At this time, the fat boss happened to send the stew and tofu brain, he heard Wang Bao's admiration, and said happily: "Guest, you have a mouth, our steamed buns, that is an ancestral craft, it has been more than a hundred years, and the guests who have come to eat have not said that they are not delicious." ”
Wang Bao nodded at him and extended a thumbs up, making him happy hehe Zhile.
"Braised and tofu brain, if you need it, call me, you use it slowly!" The fat boss put down a small bowl of braised stew, and a big bowl of tofu brain, and then he was busy.
Wang Bao first tasted a bite of stew, not bad, the taste is very positive!
Then I ate a mouthful of tofu brain, well, the saltiness is just right, the marinade is not greasy, the tofu brain is tender and delicious, delicious!
Wang Bao felt that he could come back often in the future, because this breakfast was very much in line with his appetite. He opened the bow left and right, chopsticks in his right hand, spoon in his left hand, a bun, a mouthful of stew, a mouthful of fritters, and a spoonful of tofu brain.
The wind and clouds are whirling, chopsticks are like spears and spoons like shields, and for breakfast, Wang Bao seems to have completed a war.
Satisfied with his mouth, Wang Bao got up to pay the bill to the boss, and then said a few words to the boss that tasted good, and the gossip that would often come in the future, and then went home.
I didn't feel sleepy just now, but after eating breakfast, I went home and went to bed, and the sleepiness immediately hit like a tide. In less than two minutes, Wang Bao, who was still about to wait for a good morning message to his girlfriend, was overwhelmed by sleepiness and fell asleep.
Wang Bao is like a person in cultivation, entering a deep level of concentration, this sleep did not dream, did not hear any disturbance from the outside world, and slept until dark before slowly waking up.
When he opened his eyes, it was pitch black, only a little light from the window shining through the curtains, reminding Wang Bao that it was night.
Maybe he was asleep, maybe he hadn't woken up yet, Wang Bao couldn't tell where he was and when he was.
He got up in a daze and looked around, which was not a scene he was familiar with at all, and his first reaction was: "I've crossed over?"
It was only after he shook his head, slapped his cheeks, and was fully conscious that he confirmed that he had indeed crossed over, and that he had been through it for more than a year.
He first got up and went to the bathroom, took care of his personal inventory, and then washed his face, which was really sober.
Back in the bedroom, Wang Bao first opened the curtains, and then turned on the headlights in the house. Suddenly, it was a little dazzling, Wang Bao got used to it before he opened his eyes, and then he saw the phone screen flashing.
When he picked up the phone, he remembered that before going to bed, he put the phone on silent, no wonder he didn't hear the phone ring for a day.
picked up the flashing phone and found that it was Song Jia calling, Wang Bao picked up the phone and was about to speak, when Song Jia's anxious and excited voice came from inside.
"Xiaobao, what are you doing all day? Why don't you answer your phone calls or reply to your messages? Okay, let's not talk about this, that's the case, I contacted Lao Yang and them today, and he was very happy when he heard that you were going to make an album. Lao Yang said, as long as your album is handed over to him to produce, he can be responsible for our overall album recording and future release. ”
"Okay! Then this matter is decided, you look at the arrangement!" Wang Bao didn't think there was anything to be excited about, because he didn't understand the things and difficulties at all.
"You're just a little bit...... Well, I'll watch the arrangement. You need to hurry up and write the song, so we can hurry up and record the album. But don't ignore the quality because you're in a hurry, after all, the quality of the song still comes first. Song Jia originally wanted to ask Wang Bao if he wasn't excited about the drama at all, but thinking that Wang Bao was a rookie, he didn't understand what was going on, so he didn't ask, but he still didn't forget to ask Wang Bao to write songs.
Wang Baogang wanted to say that it was no problem to write songs, and it was not a matter for him, but Song Jia hurriedly said: "I still have something to do, you keep the phone open at any time, it is convenient to contact, hang up." ”
Wang Bao looked at the phone that was hung up, was silent for a long time, and finally muttered: "What's wrong?"
