In Bai Yuhan's view, the original "Master of Hypnosis" is an excellent domestic film, but there are many shortcomings. For example, the soundtrack of the movie is a little noisy, deliberately exaggerating the horror atmosphere, and downplaying the degree that this is a thriller and suspense film. And the decryption at the end of the film is a little verbose, a bit insulting to the audience's IQ.

However, these are all trivial matters, harmless, what really dissatisfies Bai Yuhan is the flaw in the narrative. The narrative focus and suspense in the first half of the movie are naturally focused on "Ren Xiaoyan", with ghost stories with a strong atmosphere and mysteries of life experience.

But after the ups and downs, when Ren Xiaoyan was about to push open the door that represented her secret in the dream, and the mystery of her body was about to be revealed, it suddenly became Xu Ruining who was pushed into the water and began to tell the story of Xu Ruining. Such a plot will not be abrupt, because the final ending will definitely be reversed again, and it will return to Ren Xiaoyan and solve many mysteries.

This is not new, as Fight Club handles it that way.

But Bai Yuhan waited, waited, waited, and waited until the end of the movie, but he never returned to Ren Xiaoyan.

In an instant, the originally rendered plot of Ren Xiaoyan became a spectacle display of pretending to be a ghost, and the compulsion of the whole film was immediately lowered by ten notches.

This is the lack of secondary ** caused by a single suspense, and the reversal after the reversal is the impressive part of the suspense film. The audience may guess the first reversal and have a sense of psychological security, but it is rare to guess the second reversal, and the second reversal is the real **. can break the audience's sense of security and be truly terrifying.

"Master of Hypnosis" is almost bad, missing the most critical second reversal.

So Bai Yuhan plans to shoot "Hypnosis Master" after that. The first thing to do is to revise the script and add a subversive secondary reversal to the movie.

For "Master of Hypnosis", such a reversal would have come naturally, and in terms of setting, Gu Jie and Xu Ruining have enough to do with each other, and it is easy to implant reasonable hidden feelings; And in the narrative structure. The unrevealed space behind the open door is the perfect place to put it in for inversion. Now that the door has appeared, the most horrific truth should be allowed to appear behind the door.

In Bai Yuhan's opinion. There are at least two ways to deal with it.

The first way, the thriller version.

Gu Jie killed her fiancé because Xu Ruining drove her car, so she let Xu Ruining see it in the name of treatment. Behind that door. It was her resentment towards Xu Ruining that implanted a deeper knot in Xu Ruining's heart. This is a deeper emotion than the original version of "only yourself can forgive yourself", it is "you can forgive yourself, but the person you hurt will never forgive you".

The second way, the infatuation version.

This version is organically combined with the story of Gu Jie, that is, Ren Xiaoyan, and continues to dig into Gu Jie's life experience, and at the same time implicitly points out. After Gu Jie was abandoned twice, she was still abandoned for the third time. That is, her fiancé also abandoned her. When the car accident occurred, the absence of Gu Jie was a corroboration.

And Professor Fang arranged for Gu Jie to break through Xu Ruining, why not be Xu Ruining and Professor Fang to play a game, to completely heal Gu Jie's heart knot. So Xu Ruining used himself as a bait to make Gu Jie unconsciously in the position of a therapist, rather than being treated.

Then just when Gu Jie thought that she had cured Xu Ruining, her mood was relaxed, and Xu Ruining took the opportunity to hypnotize Gu Jie, enter Ren Xiaoyan's dream, and push open the door.

Behind the door, there is a lonely little girl sitting on a Ferris wheel.

So Xu Ruining said: "It's time to put it down." ”

The little girl replied crisply: "The difficulty is not to let go, but not to be let go by others." ”

It's a more subtle and sublimating approach to the subject. A little more sublimation, it can even overturn the position at the beginning of the movie, and people can get rid of bad emotions, shadows and states through self or professional psychological intervention. As a result, all this is actually ineffective, you can change yourself, but you can't change to make someone who doesn't love you fall in love with you.

Of course, Bai Yuhan only roughly summarized the treatment methods into these two types, in fact, there can be more processing methods.

……

"Let's use the infatuation version, this theme is a little more profound, and it is also more positive and optimistic, Gu Jie has treated Xu Ruining, Xu Ruining is also actively healing Gu Jie, both complete and open, and then portray Professor Fang as a wise and almost demonic character, let Xu Ruining and Gu Jie love and hate each other again, then it will be perfect, there is still a game outside the game, which is even more popular than "Inception". As for the thriller version of the vendetta ending, it's really discordant! ”

Writing and drawing on a blank piece of paper, Bai Yuhan quickly wrote the outline of the script of "Master of Hypnosis", and the rest was to polish the details.

Because the ending of the script has changed, many details need to be re-set and re-made with or without connections. It is necessary to retain the integrity of the main line, but also to leave such and such clues to the audience, so that the audience can open their minds and make up various plots by themselves.

"Dangdangdang."

There was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

The door opened, and a young girl walked in, holding a large pile of documents: "Boss, this is the information you want." ”

"Let it go." Bai Yuhan pointed to the table and asked again, "By the way, Xiaomeng, you go and call me Wang Shun and a few other editors-in-chief on duty in the company, I want to have a meeting." ”

"Okay, boss." The girl called Xiaomeng simply agreed and turned around and went out.

This girl named Xiaomeng is a group of college student internship assistants recruited by Wanhe Tianyi during this summer's vacation.

In order to maintain the vitality of the company, in addition to recruiting professional talents, Wanhe Tianyi is mainly recruiting college students, college students who have not undergone social experience, may be very immature, but whether it is ideas or motivation, they are full of vitality, which can greatly stimulate the personnel structure of Wanhe Tianyi.

Xiaomeng's original name is Lian Meng, a very literary name, she is a sophomore at China Youth Political College, and she is the top liberal arts student in the 2008 Lingji City College Entrance Examination. After entering Wanhe Tianyi this summer, with a flexible mind. quickly stood out from a group of intern assistants and was assigned to Bai Yuhan's office as an assistant to the editor-in-chief.

Not for a while. Lian Meng called several editors-in-chief of the company over.

A meeting was held to discuss the establishment of the two films "Durala's Promotion" and "Hypnosis Master".

One person counts the short, the other counts the long, even if he has the original movie as a reference, Bai Yuhan still habitually takes out the movie he wants to make to discuss and absorb the opinions of others. Brainstorming is staged every time during discussions, for Bai Yuhan. It is a profound baptism, which gives him a deeper understanding of the movie he is about to make.

……

When: December 15th. Wanhe Tianyi Conference Room, the first plenary meeting of the film preparation for "Du Lala's Promotion".

The meeting was chaired by Wang Ziwen, and the attendees included Han Xiaoli, general manager of China Film Group, Zhao Haicheng, assistant general manager, Wang Zhonglei, general manager of Huayi Brothers, Bai Yuhan, editor-in-chief of Wanhe Tianyi, Wang Shun, executive deputy editor-in-chief, as well as Xu Jinglei, Zhang Yibai and others.

After discussion. The production, production, and production of "Du Lala's Promotion" were determined.

Among them, Han Sanye, chairman of China Film, who did not attend. and Wang Ziwen and Wang Zhonglei, as producers. Zhao Haicheng served as the producer, Han Xiaoli, Wang Shun, Bai Yuhan and Zhang Yibai served as the producer, of which Zhang Yibai was the real producer, and the other three were just named.

"Lao Zhang, Lao Xu, "Du Lala's Promotion" will be handed over to you." After the meeting ended, Bai Yuhan had one in one hand. hugged left and right, and hugged Zhang Yibai and Xu Jinglei.

Zhang Yibai is the director of "Carry Love to the End". Xu Jinglei's friend, a director with strong commercial character among the sixth generation of directors. Bai Yuhan didn't have time to serve as the producer, and with Xu Jinglei's recommendation, he contacted Zhang Yibai to serve as the producer of "Du Lala's Promotion".

"Don't worry, Boss Bai, leave it to me, you can rest assured, I won't pit anyone and Lao Xu." Zhang Yibai patted his chest and promised.

Bai Yuhan clasped his ears: "You still call me a swordsman, I hear you call me Boss Bai Boss, there is always a feeling that you are talking about yourself." ”

Zhang Yibai himself is also the owner of a studio, and his nickname is Lao Bai, and acquaintances often call him Boss Bai.

"In front of you, I'm really embarrassed to call the boss, you are a rich man, I am a straggler."

"Floating clouds, all floating clouds." Bai Yuhan smiled and changed the topic, "Then that's it, Lao Xu, Lao Zhang, you go back and prepare first, although the weather is getting cold now, you still have to hurry up." Originally, I was going to treat the two of you to a meal at noon today, but I have another meeting to have, so I'll have another day, right? ”

"You go and get busy with you, I just have to contact the crew, and I don't have time." Xu Jinglei said.

After sending Xu Jinglei and Zhang Yibai away, Bai Yuhan turned back to the conference room.

In addition to the original Han Xiaoli and Zhao Haicheng, there are a few more faces in the conference room, all of whom are CEOs of several film and television production companies.

This meeting discussed the investment and distribution of "Hypnosis Master".

The budget given by Bai Yuhan is 10 million, which is a small-budget film, and Wanhe Tianyi can bear it independently in terms of investment, and the distribution work is ready to be co-ordinated, and several companies are selected to undertake it together. There are many aspects involved in the distribution of a movie, such as theatrical copies, DVDs, cable TV, music CDs, streaming media, and so on.

It is time-consuming and laborious to be undertaken by a single company.

For example, a company undertakes the DVD distribution rights of several films, and arranges the distribution work in a unified manner, which will reduce consumption and improve efficiency.

The goal of Wanhe Tianyi is to become a large-scale film and television production and distribution company, but at present, Wanhe Tianyi's distribution can only be released in theaters, and cannot take into account all aspects of the surrounding area, so it needs to cooperate with other companies, which is also an effective way to avoid risks.

The meeting reached a simple cooperation intention, the production of White Swordsman Film and Television Studio, Wanhe Tianyi, China Film Digital Film, Huayi Brothers, Huaxia Film, Modu Film, Yangcheng Jinyi Zhujiang Cinema Line Company to undertake the distribution work, the specific profit distribution, the next will be negotiated by professionals.

All these bosses need to do is.

Eat! Drink! (To be continued......)
