Chapter 86: Six Hours of Script Writing (2/3)
At night, the lights of the hustle and bustle of the city below are blurred, scaring the stars in the Milky Way.
Su Xiaofan and Dong Jiatong opened the door of the room on time at seven o'clock, and the two documentary photographers who had been prepared for a long time immediately pressed the start button and aimed the camera at the two of them.
Ye Yang and Brother Feng also stood up from the sofa and looked at the two of them with some expectation.
Both of them looked tired, but their eyes shone with a little excitement, and they were obviously confident in the scripts they had written.
"It's hard work, let's have a cup of coffee to refresh yourself. Brother Feng picked up two glasses of Starbucks from the table and reached out to hand them to the two.
"Thank you. Su Xiaofan nodded, took the coffee, and looked at Dong Jiatong, "Let's take a look at each other first?"
Dong Jiatong hurriedly put the coffee he took from Brother Feng back on the coffee table, and then gently put the laptop he was holding in his left hand on the sofa and opened it.
Su Xiaofan also handed his manuscript to Dong Jiatong, and the two sides began to look at their respective works.
Ye Yang also came to Su Xiaofan's side, looking at the computer screen together, the living room soon fell into silence, and everyone could vaguely hear some rapid breathing.
Dong Jiatong's script is quite long, and the word count displayed under the software is 6156 words, which is a bit too much for this kind of limited-time creation competition.
But after Su Xiaofan read it, he discovered the subtlety of this script.
The scene setting of this script is very simple, the whole film is in a two-bedroom and two-living room home, and single-scene shooting can save a lot of time loss in transitions and leave more time for shooting.
Because it is a single scene, the preparation of lighting props and so on can also save a lot of time, and it is a way to create a longer time in a limited time, and the comedy film "Nightclub" directed by Yang Qin and starring Xu Zheng in 09 is a typical example of this genre.
The whole film of "Nightclub" is 94 minutes, all of which were filmed in a 24-hour supermarket.
Although the scene is single, after 94 minutes, the audience will not feel aesthetic fatigue at all, and everyone's attention is attracted by the ups and downs of the plot with great comedy conflicts, which greatly weakens the image of the scene.
Dong Jiatong obviously took into account the characteristics of the rules of this competition and chose this clever mode to create.
The story begins with a girl cleaning her room,
While arranging the sheets, she couldn't help but lie on the bed and feel the luxurious and comfortable bed.
She was as happy as a child and even rolled on the bed, only to accidentally leave a lipstick mark on the sheets......
Just then, a young couple came home, and the girl was startled - she wanted to wipe off the lipstick, but found that the more she put it on, the dirtier it became.
At this time, through a dialogue between young couples, we can know that the girl is the nanny hired by their family, and through this scene, the identity of the male protagonist is revealed.
When they returned to the room, the nanny had hastily smoothed the quilt and quietly hid in the small corner of the room, ready to sneak out—
If the boss knew that she slept in their bed, he would definitely fire her.
When the male and female protagonists were about to happen something indescribable, the girl suddenly found the lipstick mark on the quilt, and she was sure that she didn't have lipstick of this color......
So, a quarrel broke out.
Next,It's a twist and turn.,The female owner firmly believes that the male owner is cheating.,But the male owner said it couldn't be.,He suspected that it was a nanny or a thief at home.,He even wondered if the opponent was framing him......
And the female nanny, who was about to escape, felt a little guilty after seeing this scene, and wanted to stand up and clarify for the male protagonist, but she was afraid, and even had an even more terrible thought in her heart......
Three people, in this mansion, a series of actions, language, and psychological conflicts occurred, the plot was tense and suspenseful, and finally the female nanny completed the psychological game and stood up and admitted her behavior.
However, the heroine who was about to commit suicide completely collapsed, she thought that now that the human and material evidence was gathered, the male protagonist would have to quibble, so she jumped down......
Well......
After reading this story, Su Xiaofan was still a little surprised.
Intense and tense conflict plot setting and escalation...... Being able to write such a script just after entering the freshman year is enough to prove that Dong Jiatong became the champion of the Department of Literature this year not by her relationship, but by her real material.
Merely...... The story is good, but it doesn't feel like it's particularly topical, right?
The suspenseful story can barely be divided into the category of thriller...... But the theme seems to be more inclined to "trust" or "misunderstanding" than "lie".
But after all, this is only the first draft, if you are sure that it is this script, you can continue to revise it......
Of course, Su Xiaofan was not ready to shoot this script.
He has a stronger faith in his script!
After Su Xiaofan finished reading, he raised his head and looked at Dong Jiatong.
Because Su Xiaofan's script is shorter, Dong Jiatong has already finished reading it, and he is looking at Su Xiaofan directly at this time.
"Needless to say. Dong Jiatong saw that Su Xiaofan wanted to speak, so he preemptively said, "I admit that you are more suitable for this competition." ”
"Is it just more suitable?" Su Xiaofan smiled.
Dong Jiatong's face suddenly turned red, and he scolded angrily: "Do you have to be so faceless?!"
Saying that, she also picked up a pillow and threw it at Su Xiaofan, but Su Xiaofan dodged it with a light flash.
"Brother Fan's writing is so awesome, show me!"
Ye Yang already thought that Dong Jiatong's script was very good, but in the next second, Dong Jiatong personally admitted that Su Xiaofan wrote better, how could he not be excited.
He hurriedly took the script from Dong Jiatong and read it, and Brother Feng couldn't help but come up curiously,
The two cameras are also one in front and one behind, one from the front to shoot the expressions of the two people reading the script, and the other from the top to shoot Su Xiaofan's manuscript.
Since the competition is a proposition creation, the topic of each team is different, and Su Xiaofan is not worried that the script will be leaked, so he did not stop the photographer from shooting the manuscript.
The expressions that Ye Yang and Brother Feng were looking forward to quickly turned into solemn colors because they were substituted into the script, their expressions changed many times, and they became more and more nervous in the back, and the script of more than 3,000 words was quickly read.
They frowned, looked behind them again, and saw that there was indeed no ......
Ye Yang hurriedly raised his head and asked, "What about the back?"
"Guess. Su Xiaofan smiled.
Ye Yang was suddenly a little disappointed, feeling unfinished.
Dong Jiatong also laughed and explained: "This is a suspenseful ending, if the ending is really determined, it will not be so intriguing." ”
"Hmm...... It's really intriguing," Brother Feng also nodded, "This story will definitely leave a very deep impression on the audience! I can't wait to see the final film......"
