Chapter 115 The first draft is complete
For three whole days, except for eating with Cage and the two of them at breakfast and dinner, Ke Zihua never left the room.
Originally, he thought that he already had the information of the original movie in his mind, and he had read several books about screenwriting several times, and it should be easy to write a script.
However, when he actually started writing, he found that there was a real difference between imagination and reality.
This can't help but remind him of the sentence: "The ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny."
At first, he thought it was because he was not used to writing on a computer, so he asked the hotel waiter to buy manuscript paper and pens, but when the new manuscript paper was placed in front of him, he found that he didn't know where to start!
"It's obviously full of wonderful plots, how can you not write a word?"
I sat at my desk for two hours, but I only wrote a few lines on the manuscript paper: "Act I"
Fade In
"Late Night"
......
Looking at the pitiful few lines on the manuscript paper, Ke Zihua couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "Let's ask a professional teacher, I don't know if he is willing to teach me." ”
So, he dialed the phone number of Qiao Sen, the screenwriter of "60 Seconds of Rush".
After listening to Ke Zihua's question, Qiao Sen said to him enthusiastically: "Aha, this is very normal, I was like this for the first time, sitting on the sofa for a whole day, and only writing ugly two pages of manuscript paper. ”
Ke Zihua hurriedly asked, "Qiao Sen, then what should I do now?" ”
Jossen was silent for a while, and then said, "First of all, you have to know for sure what kind of story you want to write. ”
"Then, you can divide the story into several parts, and after you outline the story, you can write the story step by step according to the way the movie script is written."
Ke Zihua thought for a moment and asked, "Picture, dialogue and description?" ”
"yes, I think you must have done some homework. Then you should know that writing a script is actually very different from writing it. ”
"In terms of expression, it is the art of words, and the script should actually be the art of pictures and dialogues, plus the conflict of the plot."
On the other end of the phone, Qiao Sen was a little puzzled, "Why did this kid suddenly remember to write a script?" Did he really think he was an all-rounder? ”
Although he didn't understand Ke Zihua's behavior, he still patiently explained to Ke Zihua, and Qiao Sen knew that Ke Zihua was very popular in the crew now.
Not only is Jerry's boss covered, but now even director Senna admires him, and Cage and Jolie are on his side, and most of the people in the crew now have a good impression of him.
With such unique conditions, he can simply walk sideways in the crew!
For such a person, Qiao Sen knows how to deal with him no matter how troublesome he is, not to mention that he himself has a good impression of Ke Zihua, but he has never had the opportunity to contact him.
Now that he has the opportunity, how can he not do his best to help him solve his problems?
If nothing else, even if he could say a nice word to Jerry or recommend himself to Cage, Jossen would benefit immensely.
Even without these, being able to make friends with such an excellent young man is something that Qiao Sen can't ask for.
In this way, Qiao Sen chatted with Ke Zihua on the phone for more than three hours, and the phones of the two of them ran out of power, so they plugged in the charger and continued to chat!
Qiao Sen unreservedly passed on all his experience to Ke Zihua, and even used his housekeeping skills, which made Ke Zihua gradually find his senses.
Hanging up the phone, Ke Zihua hurriedly ate a little something, then sat down again and began to write his script.
This time, he didn't rush to write the storyline, but went through the entire plot of the movie in his mind, and then broke them down into several parts, and gave each of them an outline.
Of course, in this process, Ke Zihua also added some of his ideas to the outline, after all, the original plot really seemed a little rough, and there were a few things that he was very dissatisfied with, and this time he decided to change all these places.
After finishing the outline, Ke Zihua took out the first scene separately and wrote a detailed outline for the first act.
The main thing is to write about what happened when the movie opened, when and where it happened; Who are the characters involved, and from which aspect should they be written, so as to better express the wonderful scenes, etc.
After making these preparations, Ke Zihua turned the manuscript to the next page.
He took a deep breath, then picked up the pen and began the creation of the first act on the snow-white manuscript paper.
Act I, a late-night robbery
Fade
Late at night, a truck full of goods sped down the wide road, an elongated box truck, with the name of the trading company and a uniquely designed logo printed on both sides of the car.
At this time, the truck was speeding through a factory area in the suburbs, and although there was no one in the factory area, it was brightly lit.
Suddenly, three black sedans drove quickly from the back of the truck. The loud roar immediately attracted the attention of the truck driver.
The truck driver looked at the cars in the rearview mirror, then shook his head and said, "Another group of rich losers, do they think that if they spend a lot of money to modify the car, they can become good drivers?" ”
However, soon the contempt on the driver's face disappeared and was replaced by extreme shock and a face full of fear!
One of the cars quickly passed the truck, and then with a beautiful 180-degree drift, he reversed the car and merged into the same lane as the truck, and then the sunroof of the car opened, and out of it came a man dressed in black and wearing a black helmet.
The most important thing is that he pulled a shooting gun out of the car!
The next moment, the man in black fired at the cab of the truck!
......
If Qiao Sen could be by Ke Zihua's side, he would find that Ke Zihua's talent was really high, and it was according to the way he taught Ke Zihua that Ke Zihua began the creation of the first act.
After having a good beginning, Ke Zihua kept writing all the time, and by the time it was dark, he had already written more than a dozen pages!
If it weren't for Cage's call, I'm afraid he would have kept writing, looking at the fruits of his day's labor, Ke Zihua smiled with satisfaction: "I finally finished writing the beginning, and writing the script is really tiring." ”
"Thanks to Qiao Sen's help, I might not have been able to write so much until now."
"Cage and Julie are coming back, so I'll take a break and resume writing after dinner!"
At dinner, Ke Zihua didn't tell Cage about it, he wanted to surprise them after the script was completed, and then ask for their opinions.
In this way, in three days, Ke Zihua completed the first draft of his first film script.
He was going to show it to Cage and Julie first, but of course he had to find Senna and Josson and ask them to correct him.
In this way, after his script was read by the actors, directors and screenwriters respectively, and got their opinions, Ke Zihua spent a few more days revising it, and then he could enter the script into the computer and register his copyright.
On the day Mei Xuening came to the hotel, they talked about the script at the dinner table. Ke Zihua also knew that after the script was written, he had to go to the Screenwriters Association and the Copyright Office to apply for registration, so that he could have the complete copyright.
......
When waiting, time always passes slowly.
After Ke Zihua finished the first draft, he couldn't wait to invite Senna and Qiao Sen to the hotel. In addition to having dinner together, ask them to help review their own scripts.
In half an hour, the "review team" consisting of Cage, Jolie, Senna and Jossen will return to the hotel.
Ke Zihua's mood at this time was both a little excited and a little expectant and apprehensive, he was very satisfied with the revised script, but he didn't know if his script could be recognized in the eyes of professional people.
So, Ke Zihua was pacing in the room while secretly cheering himself up: "I have completed the script according to the method given to me by Qiao Sen, and I have also added my own ideas to it. ”
"Even if you can't reach the level of excellence, you should be able to reach the passing line, right?" (To be continued.) )
