There are similarities and differences between novel writing and script writing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Similarities, for example, as Liu Kewei just said, "create or improve a story", in essence, his sentence is actually quite reasonable - the core content is to tell a good story, and the object of narration is for a group audience......

However, the novel itself is a work in its own right, and the screenplay is, after all, only a half-finished product. In the end, what the audience sees is not a cold pure text description, but the finished form shown by the actors with their own facial expressions and body language.

The feeling of reading and watching a movie is definitely completely different.

For another example, the author can use God's perspective in the novel, which can be interspersed with a lot of psychological descriptions. But for the representation of cinema, the psychological activity of the characters is invisible to the audience. Usually in a different way, the inner world of the characters is explained in a different way, using facial expression and body language - although the use of voice-over inner monologues and other means can achieve a similar effect to the psychological description of the novel. But this kind of voice-over is generally detrimental to the movie-going experience, and is a last resort, let alone a series of films – unless it's a stream-of-consciousness film like Wong Kar-wai's "East Evil and West Poison."

Comparatively speaking, there will be more freedom in the creation of novels. For example, there is no limit on the length, and it is common for short and medium-length novels of thousands or tens of thousands of words and long and ultra-long novels of hundreds of thousands or even millions of words, and some online novels have expanded their length to the level of tens of millions of words......

But the script of a movie certainly can't do this, after all, the length of a movie is limited, and most commercial films are around 90 minutes. In this way, it is determined that the carrying information of the movie plot is limited, so in terms of plot construction, the movie requires more to focus on the main line, delete the complicated and simplified, and have clear logic, so that the audience can't watch it for 90 minutes and don't know what the movie wants to say.

……

Haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run?

Although he has never studied or written a script, Duan Shanshan still knows the difference between these novels and scripts more or less.

The key questions are-

"I can't directly adapt the script in Korean - if you really want me to get it, Lao Liu, you have to find me a few qualified translators!"

Duan Shanshan frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally put forward his first request.

"No problem, aren't there two ready-made Korean translators in the studio? The work of the Korean version has also been preliminarily completed, and they have been relatively idle recently, so why don't you let them assist you?"

Although he has resigned as a producer, Liu Kewei still has a general idea of the project schedule, and after a little thought, he gave a solution.

It's just-

"Hey, is this script a project of our studio? We are buddies, I can help you from the standpoint of a friend, why do you want to let the translator girl give you a day job? Besides, Executive Director Zhao and Special Manager Quan can agree to you in this matter?"

Duan Shanshan asked with a smile.

This reminder is very reasonable, so this time it was Liu Kewei's turn to frown and be worried.

"Otherwise, let the milk tea give it a try?" It's just a translation, judging from her mastery of Chinese and Korean, it shouldn't be a problem......

The difference between He Xiujing and the two translation girls is that this girl is Duan Shanshan's direct subordinate. As long as she doesn't mind, Duan Shanshan has every authority to arrange some extra private work for her, and she doesn't need to report it to others.

But the problem is --

"You think it's very beautiful-the copywriting team is just me and her, if they all run away, who will keep an eye on the progress of the work on the art side?" Duan Shanshan raised his eyelids and glanced at Liu Kewei.

"It's okay, I'll say hello to Che'er and Xingning, and ask them to help you keep an eye on it these days, anyway, if you adapt a script, it shouldn't take a few days - and where there may be problems on the project side, it won't be your turn to be the copywriting team!"

Liu Kewei didn't think about it for long, and quickly came up with a response plan, and by the way, he also hacked Duan Shanshan's copywriting team.

However, his words are right, at this stage of the project, the copywriting team is almost only left with the implementation work, and this kind of thing will not be too much of a problem for another person to watch, and it is unlikely to lead to any serious bugs.

Duan Shanshan pursed his lips and cast an inquiring look at Che Guanglong, who had been sitting quietly on the single sofa far away - after all, this guy was the current producer, and Liu Kewei wanted to temporarily take someone from the studio to do something else, and his position was very important.

Che Guanglong pondered for a few seconds and nodded lightly in agreement.

Although it was not the original intention, and Liu Kewei himself is also responsible, it is an indisputable fact that he took over Liu Kewei's position as a producer. During this time, Che Guanglong has always felt faintly indebted to Liu Kewei in his heart, and he can't refuse such an innocuous trivial matter.

"Look, the car is okay, Uncle Duan, you can get it!" Liu Kewei asked with a hippie smile, "By the way, Uncle Duan, you can handle milk tea yourself, right?"

Duan Shanshan shrugged, meaning that he was probably not sure: "I will ask her, as for whether she is happy or not, I can't say ......."

His face straightened, and he turned his head to Yamashita and said, "Mr. Yamashita, I have to state two things first, first, the supernatural thriller theme is not my specialty, and second, I may be able to change the film literary script, but you must not expect me as a layman to write the storyboard script - so you have to find someone to change the storyboard script." If you don't think these two things are related, then I can give it a try......"

In fact, on the way to the apartment, Yamashita had already thought it through. Even if it is based on Liu Kewei's recommendation, asking Duan Shanshan to try to change the script of "Parasite" does not mean that he has to use the version he changed. It is completely possible to wait for him to come up with the finished version, and first hand it over to the two producers, Yang Yunhao and Kim Yongtai, to review and evaluate, and then decide whether to adopt it.

Therefore, Duan Shanshan's concerns at the moment are actually a bit redundant to Yamashita Shimo.

"Planner Duan, rest assured, director Takashi Zhenxi has already said that just with the help of certain lens languages, he has the confidence to do a good job in the elements of supernatural thrillers. So you don't need to worry about this, just sort out the story logic of this script to make the plot development seem more plausible and the characters are more realistic and believable - besides, it's best to design a suitable passion scene for the female number two......"

"What, Brother Shi, you still plan to let Xiao Minxi shoot a passion scene?" Liu Kewei interrupted Yamashita Shimi in surprise.

"But Wei, this matter has to be said at two ends - the current version of the passion drama is unreasonable, yes, but it does not mean that all the passion scenes are unreasonable! Hyo Min-seo is also a popular idol in South Korea, if there are some of her passion scenes in the movie, it will naturally have more appeal to the audience, from this point of view, in fact, the starting point of the previous screenwriter and producer is not wrong; moreover, Hyo Min-seo herself is also interested in developing in the acting circle, so the passion play is also a trial that she must challenge, and there is no harm in experiencing it early. ”

Listening to Minoru Yamashita's patient explanation, Liu Kewei recalled the process of Hyomin, Moon Geun-young and Song Joong Ki's discussions before, and it seemed that what they were opposed to was not the passion play itself, but the "unnecessary passion play".

As actors, Moon Geun-young and Song Joong Ki have both filmed passion scenes, and Hyo-min's attitude is not completely resistant......

In that case, what else do you have to say?

The original intention of intervening in this matter was not to play some guardian angel or savior, but to try his best to fight for a relatively fair opportunity for Xiaomin.

Maybe the current situation is the best outcome for everyone?

Pursing his lips, Liu Kewei spread his hands and made an expression of "whatever you want".

p.s. Mr. Meng Chijun was invited to a party on Sunday, and he had a string with the long-lost Ah King, Cha Shui Zhai, Beasts, Da Zhong and other brothers, so this one was a little late a day or two......

I was very happy to find that ten years ago the animal was thinner than me, and ten years later I am thinner than the animal...... (To be continued.) )
