Chapter 243: Scripts and Religious Films
Returning from the other world again, Zhang Xun really felt the pain that he had not felt for a long time.
I lay dizzy on the bed for a long time, the sweat on my back soaked the sheets, and I got up in the morning to pick up those cosmetics again, so that I could hide my unhealthy face.
Fortunately, the stay time is not excessive, and the recovery is relatively fast.
Another night, Zhang Xun made an appointment with Gao Shen for dinner.
This time, the main topic was not chatting, but getting down to business.
"Silent film scripts, why do you want this kind of thing. Gao Shen was taken aback when he heard Zhang Xun's intention today.
Zhang Xun just smiled, if it was for irrelevant people, he didn't need to explain, but for Gao Shen, he always had to give a reason, but it was simple, and now many games have plot-oriented animations to enhance the plot background, which is not difficult to explain.
"The silent film script must be completely different from the normal script, after all, the lack of lines, you have to use the body movements of the picture to make up for it, it's this era, there are too few people who can play silent movies very well, like I can't at all, but I know people in the circle, but if you want to talk about the level, it's hard to say, it's no problem to reach the passing line, but if you want to get a high quality, plus the background you gave, and the Western Middle Ages, you have to go abroad to find a screenwriter, a good script needs enough time to polish, and the price is not low. Gao Shen said slowly.
Zhang Xun smiled: "This is also the first time I have it, let's try it first, the quality of the script does not need to be particularly high, but the time is relatively urgent, and it needs to be taken out quickly enough, and the money is not a problem at all, but it is difficult to find relevant people." ”
"If that's the case for you, that's okay, I'll help you get in touch, the passing level of things is a little fast, and I can get it out for you in a few days, it's not a big problem, but you'd better write the requirements of the plot clearly, otherwise it's too troublesome to change it then, you also write things, you should understand, it's not difficult to write a book, what I'm afraid of is that people ask for vagueness, change back and forth, change dozens of times and hundreds of times are not satisfied, then it's over. Gao Shen leaned back in his chair, his expression much more relaxed.
"I understand that. Zhang Xun smiled, as a writer, he also hated the thing of vague and unclear investor requirements.
About this story, the requirements are actually very clear, the medieval background, although the shadow stone is recorded by magic patterns under the introduction of Ke Lan, so it can theoretically achieve the effect of "pseudo-editing", but in fact it is still a lot more restricted, such as the difficulty of some shots must be low enough, the plot itself is extremely simple, Zhang Xun decided to take the story of the invasion of the border town of Yingyang by the Westerners as the blueprint.
It is narrated from the perspective of a young man and woman in a small town, and their experiences are used as clues to unfold.
The story mode has been written badly, Zhang Xun didn't expect to write flowers, anyway, the people of Yingyang still have no resistance to many story routines.
If it weren't for the fact that the script, especially the silent film script, was written in a completely different form, Zhang Xun would even want to do it himself, which is a very satisfying thing.
The next day, Gao Shen took a line over, the other party was a well-known fast gunner in the domestic screenwriting circle, Zhang Xun took the time to carefully explain the requirements to the other party, and spent the next few days in the back and forth of the script.
This script Zhang Xun is going to shoot for the Eagle Yang people, and the other is also handed over to the game company to make a game animation, well, there is no other reason, it is purely money to burn, of course, by making this animation, the overall style of the game in the Middle Continent can also be established, which is also meaningful.
……
The snow fell heavily that night, and it snowed one after another on the Tianan side for the next few days.
This has been a relatively rare thing in recent years, and the heavy snow covers the whole city, which of course causes a lot of trouble for urban traffic, but at the same time it also makes it more interesting for bored residents.
The mountains, far from the main traffic arteries, are relatively quiet.
When Zhang Xun appeared at the foot of the mountain standing in Jing'en Temple wearing a thin winter coat, he saw that halfway up the mountainside, the casual monk was sweeping the mountain road with a broom.
Near him, the black dog of unknown breed was rolling and tossing in the snowdrift, and suddenly heard the sound of motor vehicles in the distance, bounced up suddenly, and arched his back like a cat, and then found Zhang Xun who appeared at the foot of the mountain, and couldn't help but make a few noises, and then ran down with a smoke, and a black line suddenly crossed the snow-white earth.
"Hello wow. Zhang Xun smiled and touched Xiaobai's dog head, and then was relieved to find that it was still innocent and carefree.
Walking slowly up the mountain, his casual face was red and fluttering, and he was sweating a little.
"This kind of work shouldn't be done by people of your generation. Zhang Xun said curiously.
Casual laughed and explained, probably taking the initiative to ask for orders, supplemented by snow sweeping, mainly to walk the dog.
"How's it going?" Casual asked.
Zhang Xun thought about it, there was no hypocrisy, and said very frankly: "It's very fulfilling." ”
"It's good to be full, I envy you people like you, boredom is the most terrible, there are fewer people in the temple in winter, there is no fun, a group of monks eat and sleep all day long, sleep and eat, and the rest of the energy is only estrus, sad and lamentable. Casual shook his head and sighed.
Zhang Xun was embarrassed, thought about it, and could only praise: "You are still so upright." ”
"Thank you. Casual laughed.
……
……
Go up the mountain and enter the meditation room, the interior is like spring.
The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Xun finally explained the purpose of his visit.
This time, he raised the issue of how to rationally use film to weaken religious power.
In addition to filming anti-Japanese war dramas to exercise political intentions, he also began to think about whether he could use the film as a new and strong propaganda method to fight against religion.
Due to the operation of the bridgehead area, the point of religious light has become brighter and brighter recently.
This made him realize that although he had subtly tried to transfer the divine power to the monarchy, it was clear that this small gesture was not enough in the face of deep-rooted religious impressions.
"This question is quite interesting, the propaganda effect of the art of film is too strong, and your idea is to weaken the power of religion through propaganda?"
"Yes. Zhang Xun nodded.
It is obvious that it is of considerable significance to rejecting religion by accepting the all-round belief in science and resisting superstitious propaganda in the radio and television media since childhood.
Leisure affirms this idea, but asks another question, "What do you think is the best way to shoot, or what to shoot?" Since it involves religious films, we need to think about whether to show the gods or not. ”
"What do you think?"
Holding the tired dog casually, he said slowly: "I don't think so, because no matter how you shoot, it is easy to have problems." ”
