Chapter 181: Scene 181 Give me an hour
What surprised Li Xiaole even more was that judging from the way these characters were arranged, Ning Hao didn't seem to have learned the orthodox drama screenwriting model, that is, his character analysis method was researched by himself?
This is a character who is far more powerful than the rumors, Li Xiaole immediately moved his mind to recruit talents, he wants to take root in Zhongying, and he also needs to cultivate some talents of his own.
Li Xiaole slowly pushed open the door, and as soon as he walked in, he saw that the four walls of the ten-square-meter cabin were almost all covered with the same copywriting as on the door, not to mention hundreds of copies, and if you look closely, these large and small copywriting are divided into about ten blocks according to blocks, which are written "opening picture", "theme presentation", "catalyst", "game", "soul night" and so on.
Isn't this the "save the cat" system? Li Xiaole couldn't help but laugh dumbly, let out a hehe laugh, Ning Hao, who was sitting on the bench with his back and writing copywriting, only then did he feel that someone came in, turned his head and frowned at Li Xiaole, with a frightened look:
"Senior Brother~...... I...... I just meditated, and my legs stiffened, so I got up and moved, don't tell the master~ Please, senior brother~" He pleaded with both hands, thinking that Li Xiaole was a fellow practitioner who participated in the "Zen Seven", for fear that he would give a small report to the master and drive himself out of the meditation class.
Looking at Ning Hao, who was wearing shorts and a T-shirt, with a stubble on his face, and the whole image of a primitive person, Li Xiaole could only let himself try his best to hold back his laughter, coughed dryly, and said:
"Hello, Director Ning Hao, I'm Li Xiaole of China Film Company." As he spoke, he took out a freshly printed haode business card and handed it over.
"Ah~ Hello......" Ning Hao took the business card and looked at it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise: "You are the director of production?" "How big is this person in front of you? The production director of China Film Company is so young? Li Xiaole? Hey, this name is a little familiar, it seems that I have heard it somewhere.
"Hello Director Li." Ning Hao stood up and wiped his hand on the T-shirt, a smile appeared on his simple face, and then he shook hands with Li Xiaole, and said with some surprise: "Did you come here to find me something?" ”
It was for the sake of purity that he went to this kind of isolated meditation class to get a script, but I didn't expect that there would be people chasing here, which is really unusual.
"I'm not going around the bend with you, in fact, I'm here this time mainly to discuss the purchase of your script." Li Xiaole got straight to the point.
"Buy my script? What script? Ning Hao was confused, how could he have any script, and after speaking, he suddenly remembered that he had written two story synopses to Zhongying before, and then he suddenly realized, and his expression immediately became embarrassed.
"Director Li, you're not joking with me, I haven't written this script yet, I just have a story framework......" Ning Hao said, looking at Li Xiaole, and realized more and more that he might be a second-generation official who is interested in movies, and he just wants to make a movie or something like picking an interesting story, and he just wants to send him away quickly.
"Is that so?" Li Xiaole said as he spoke, while the words of his two eyes swirled on Ning Hao's face, who was he, Li Xiaole, of course, he had already seen what Ning Hao was thinking.
To change to an ordinary person, Li Xiaole must have bought the script directly at a suitable price, but this Ning Hao is not ordinary, is a famous drama idiot in the circle, before entering the film circle, he was already one of the three major MV directors in Chinese mainland, the first movie was completely made by himself, which is a bit similar to the experience of the great American director Michael Bay, who is not short of money, but the kind of person who wants to pursue higher goals.
This kind of person who loves film art, they value honor, and in order to impress them, they must show a higher professional level than him.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaole's eyes shifted to the copywriting of the characters on the wall, and after reading it for a while, he turned his head and said to Ning Hao: "Director Ning, you said that your script was not written well, how do I feel that your script has been almost written?" Isn't this story already out? ”
"Where did it come from?" Ning Hao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and immediately frowned, the "Crazy Stone" he wrote was different from the single-line narrative of ordinary movies, it was an interspersed structure of three story lines, and the narrative difficulty was more than a hundred times greater than that of ordinary movies.
"Director Li, you haven't watched it all, the part in front of you is just a connection to the second act, not the whole movie." Ning Hao thought that Li Xiaole didn't understand the situation at all, so he could only patiently explain to him, alas, he was really anxious to talk about movies with laymen.
"Well, I know, this is Heath Coppola's fifteen rhythms of 'Save the Cat'." Li Xiaole said with his chin in his hands.
"Huh? Director Li, have you heard of this? Ning Hao looked at him and said in surprise, this thing is a theory that has just emerged in the United States in the past year, and when he saw that this theory was enlightened, he pushed out the script he wrote before and reorganized the whole story, but with so many characters in the three lines, it was too difficult to maintain these fifteen rhythms, and he had no clue for two months, so he couldn't participate in this "Zen Seven" and wanted to completely put it into the tidying up, but so far it was still a mess.
"Well, it can be seen that Director Ning's three story lines are all there, but the combination is a little confusing." Li Xiaole read all the copywriting as quickly as possible, he had studied "Crazy Stone" in depth before, and he remembered the structure very clearly, and it was not too difficult to reorganize it.
"It's the logic of the story, and the relationship with the characters is too difficult to sort out...... What are you doing~!? Ning Hao sighed halfway, and suddenly found that Li Xiaole actually reached out and began to dismantle the manuscript that he had spent three days arranging haode copywriting, and couldn't help but scream.
"I don't think it's that difficult to structure, I'll help you rearrange it." Li Xiaole said as he removed all the copywriting on the wall as quickly as possible.
"You...... Other......? Ning Hao opened his mouth wide and didn't react, but he saw Li Xiaole like a skilled machine tool factory worker, his hands were almost too fast to see clearly, and he quickly removed a small half of the copywriting, and an evil fire came up in his heart, and he originally wanted to scold, but when he thought that he was the production director of China Film, he immediately wilted again, looking at the copywriting that had been demolished all over the ground, he wanted to cry without tears on the spot.
"You try, you try......" Ning Hao sat on the bench with a crying voice, could it be because he used "Zen Qi" to make a script, this retribution is coming...... Or somewhere else would such a little Hades jump out and torture him like this......
After a while, seeing Li Xiaole dismantle all the four hundred and eighty-five pieces of copywriting, and pile them into more than ten piles according to people's names like checking a deck of playing cards, Ning Hao could only propose with a sad face:
"Director Li, you see it's already 11 o'clock~ There is still an hour until lunch, should we take a break and have a fast meal first, and then come back in the afternoon."
"An hour?" Li Xiaole sighed, nodded and said, "It should be enough." ”
"Enough should be enough......?" Ning Hao almost didn't kick it up when he heard it, and he ...... for an hour I can't even finish watching a movie, let alone a character script, let alone a script with an unclear story...... Ning Haohu looked at Li Xiaole suspiciously, and began to wonder if this so-called "Director Li" was a little mentally abnormal?
Many of the people who come to meditate have mental illness......
Ning Hao was thinking about it like this, but Li Xiaole suddenly took action, and saw that he was quickly flipping through the copywriting, and then without hesitation, he picked out the copywriting of "Xie Xiaomeng", "Bao Shihong", "Four Eyes", "Director Xie", "Brother Dao", "Black Skin" and "Xiaojun", pasted it on the "opening picture" in the first column with a thumbtack, and then marked a sentence with a pen to introduce the plot.
Ning Hao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, the opening scene was the only one he sorted out the plot of the relationship between Haode's characters, how could this kid be arranged all at once? But after thinking about it, I "understood", yes, this kid must have written down the order of a column just now, which is deliberately pretending.
But when Ning Hao thought so, what happened next stunned him, and in less than 5 minutes, after arranging the first rhythm, Li Xiaole almost finished the second rhythm block at the same speed, Ning Hao originally thought that he was pasting it randomly, but when he saw the synopsis of the story marked by Li Xiaole, his mouth couldn't help but close, isn't this the character plot he wants to sort out, but he has been sorting out the plot of the characters!?
No way...... This kid just watched it for the first time today, how can he get a plot that he can't even understand? It must have been good luck......
Li Xiaole, who was highly concentrated, didn't pay attention to Ning Hao's expression behind him at all, he just arranged the story of "Crazy Stone" in his mind from beginning to end little by little, although it was very trivial, but from jishu, it was not difficult, this was a bit like a puzzle to complete the picture quickly, and he just put the pieces out according to it.
He just needs to be careful, be careful, and don't make mistakes.
About an hour later, Li Xiaole finally posted the character relationship of the whole story on the wall in an orderly manner according to the rhythm of fifteen saving cats, but what made him depressed was that after finishing it, he had thirteen more manuscripts in his hand...... This made Li Xiaole a little embarrassed, he really didn't finish it, he pretended to be a failure
"Alas...... Director Ning, let's go eat first. Li Xiaole looked at the hands of his watch and saw that it was past 12 o'clock, and he had no choice but to show an embarrassed expression.
But Ning Hao, who was beside him, didn't seem to hear it at all, but stared at the copywriting on the wall with an extremely obsessive expression, and was still muttering to himself: "The fake stone was stolen by Mike...... Then he killed Feng Dong, and then he called Feng Dong, and the phone in front of him rang......"
"Ning Dao~?" Li Xiaole looked at Ning Hao, who looked like a primitive person, with a nervous expression on his face, spitting at the wall, as if touching the thighs of his most beloved woman, gently stroking the copywriting paper on the wall, and suddenly goosebumps rose on his body, only to feel that Ning Hao's mouth and eyes were suddenly crooked now, and it was normal for him to fall to the ground and convuls......
This guy is fucking abnormal...... Li Xiaole's desire to recruit Ning Hao was seriously shaken......
