224: Professional newcomers

The corners of Liu Shaochuan's mouth kept twitching, and his hands trembled slightly.

Liu Shaochuan is not a screenwriter, but that doesn't mean he can't read the script. On the contrary, there are many scripts of movies and TV series in the company, and Liu Shaochuan has to read them again.

It stands to reason that with Liu Shaochuan's current status, there is no need to look at these things at all. But Liu Shaochuan, who is proud of his high level, puts his figure very low in this regard.

Although I read a lot of scripts, I also learned a lot of things. Liu Shaochuan even had the idea of writing a script by himself, but he had just put pen to paper, but he didn't know how to write it, and he could only end up depressed.

However, this does not affect Liu Shaochuan's vision, a piece of inferior ordinary jade and a piece of top-grade jadeite are put together, even an ordinary person can see the difference at a glance, not to mention Liu Shaochuan, a semi-professional who has studied for a long time.

'Freak, what a freak!' Liu Shaochuan secretly marveled in his heart.

In addition to sighing, what is left behind is endless unwillingness.

If he could win that bet, how beautiful would the rest of the picture be? Liu Shaochuan didn't dare to imagine.

But fortunately, although Liu Shaochuan has a bit of a temper, he is not like Lu Guoming, he is purely a second ancestor. Although he lost the bet, Liu Shaochuan did not have a grudge against Wang Luo.

And this cooperation, Liu Shaochuan did not secretly do bad, but helped Wang Luo a lot. And now Wang Luo has come up with this script, which is the cooperation that the two talked about before.

It's just that Liu Shaochuan feels that no matter how talented Wang Luo is, it will take at least one or two months to write a script. Or even longer.

But. Wang Luo's actions made Liu Shaochuan's eyes widen. It's only been half a month. Wang Luo took out the script. And this script, Liu Shaochuan can see at a glance, it is not as good as "Infernal Affairs", but it is not much worse.

If "Infernal Affairs" leads the development direction of the future film industry, then subdivide it further, "Infernal Affairs" really leads the future of Hong Kong films and the future of police and gangster films.

And this one can be called leading the future of comedy.

Although there is a hint of regret. But compared to the script they can come up with so far, this regret is nothing at all. Moreover, society is progressing, the times are developing, and everything is created from scratch, and this script is already very good.

"Brother Wang, you really surprised me." Liu Shaochuan said with a smile on his face.

Regardless of when Wang Luo wrote this script, since Wang Luo can come up with this script now, it proves that Wang Luo is sincerely cooperating this time, which is enough.

Wang Luo smiled. did not answer Liu Shaochuan's words.

Now he doesn't have to deliberately compliment those people, on the contrary. If you continue to be as modest as before, it will make people think that Wang Luo is pretending.

"It's just that this script seems to be a little short, if you follow the script, the film will be more than an hour at most, which is about forty or fifty minutes less than a normal movie." Liu Shaochuan voiced his concerns.

Judging by the script, the story is complete and there seems to be nothing to subtract. But whether it's a TV series or a movie, there will always be some footage that is cut out.

Or the director is not satisfied, or the front and back do not match after shooting, etc. And when we see a 120-minute movie, when shooting, we must prepare at least 150 minutes of plot.

Of course, this is the treatment of a master screenwriter, and if it is another screenwriter, it is even necessary to prepare a plot of more than 200 minutes. After the director gets the script, he will make corresponding changes according to the situation of the script and the director's feelings.

In the end, what was handed over to the actors was the plot that needed to be filmed, and when it was released, the audience saw the movie that had been edited several times.

This is also the reason why many people will run to read the original book after watching the movie, because many things cannot be shown in the movie at all, and in order to seek doubts in their hearts, they can only look at the original book.

"My script doesn't have any superfluous plots." The corners of Wang Luo's mouth rose slightly and said.

"What? No extra plot? Liu Shaochuan was stunned and said in surprise.

"Yes, it's like "Underground Traffic Station", it's like "Soldier Assault", it's the same with "Shunyo", and it's the same with "Infernal Affairs." Wang Luo nodded unceremoniously.

It's not that Wang Luo is hitting people, how have he read so many scripts in that world? The reason why the script is written so quickly is that it is all copied according to the plot of the movie, and when the actor says a word, he writes a sentence, and at most marks the places that need attention after the actor's name.

If these are removed, then Wang Luo's script is a dialogue from beginning to end, and the annotations only occupy less than one-twentieth of the entire script.

But the real script is like this, there won't be too much mental description, as for the desired effect, that's the director's business.

"What about Survival in the Wilderness?" Liu Shaochuan said a little unwillingly.

"I just designed the way to appear in "Survival in the Wilderness", and what you see is all real pictures." Wang Luo said casually.

"That's right...... In this case, you will have to follow the group when it is time to shoot, otherwise the result may not be satisfactory. Liu Shaochuan said with some disappointment.

"No problem." Wang Luo smiled.

Liu Shaochuan's thoughts, how could Wang Luo not know? Wang Luo agreed to Liu Shaochuan to cooperate with him, the purpose was to repair the relationship with China Entertainment, and to use the channels of China Entertainment in one.

And Liu Shaochuan's purpose is naturally to let those people under him learn more from himself.

If it is a finished product, as long as you are willing to work hard, anyone can achieve perfection. And the script that Wang Luo came up with, although Liu Shaochuan was very satisfied, it was obvious that Liu Shaochuan was also very disappointed.

Only when they see the complete script and look at the finished script can they understand why they want to abandon the plot, and only when they understand the truth will they make progress.

And the screenwriter is the same, only when he sees the complete plot can he understand why he designed it this way and what his thinking is.

All in all, this script can indeed bring some help to those under Liu Shaochuan, but this help is limited, at least, it does not meet Liu Shaochuan's previous expectations.

"Okay, now it's time to prepare, what about the actors? What about the budget? Liu Shaochuan swallowed his saliva, he had to eat this stuffy stick secretly.

As for whether Wang Luo was lying, Liu Shaochuan already had a bottom in his heart. Previously, when he got the film "Infernal Affairs", Liu Shaochuan knew about this situation.

There wasn't a single superfluous shot in post-production, and the post-production crew simply picked the perfect shot from a bunch of shots and put it together.

It's just that Liu Shaochuan didn't care about this problem at that time, and now thinking about the previous incident, Liu Shaochuan also has to believe this.

Wang Luo is really a geek, and at the same time, Liu Shaochuan also has an idea in his heart.

If this film can really become popular, then Liu Shaochuan will have to talk to Wang Luo well, even if he abandons Lu Guoming, Liu Shaochuan must be good friends with Wang Luo.

There are only two leading actors, Li Chenggong, the owner of the toy company, and Niu Geng, the milkman. The most suitable person to play Li Chenggong is Xu Zheng, Niu Geng is Wang Baolan, and the others don't matter, as long as they conform to the image. Wang Luo said bluntly, as for the budget, he didn't say.

As long as the actors are determined, Liu Shaochuan will know what the budget is, and there is no need for Wang Luoduo to say it.

As for Xu Zheng, Wang Luo has already checked it in advance, and Xu Zheng is still working hard at the bottom, and his company is China Entertainment. It can even be said that the highest salary in this film is Wang Baolan.

"Xu Zheng?" Liu Shaochuan was stunned, but he really didn't have an impression of this person in his mind.

"It's a signed artist under your company, since it's a cooperation, then the starring role is naturally one from one company." Wang Luo smiled slightly, leaving Liu Shaochuan with a deep doubt.

"Our company?" Liu Shaochuan's face was a little better, but it was still not much better.

In his plan, since it is a collaboration, and there is such a good script, of course the actors have to use big names.

is like "Infernal Affairs", although the plot is very good, if there are not so many big names present, many viewers may not go to the cinema to watch it. And the big names, coupled with the publicity of the audience, have created the current results.

Wang Baolan's identity naturally does not conform to the plan in Liu Shaochuan's heart, but he can be regarded as a potential new star, and his recent works continue to appear in front of the audience, which also has a certain influence on the box office.

But this Xu Zheng made Liu Shaochuan a little confused, who is this? But one thing Liu Shaochuan can be sure of is that he is definitely not a big name, otherwise he would not be impressed.

"Brother Wang, can Xu Zheng change this to a big name? Remuneration is not included in the budget. Liu Shaochuan hesitated.

Wang Luo shook his head and said, "No, the role of Li Chenggong has to be Xu Zheng, and others can't play the effect that the audience wants." ”

"This ......" Liu Shaochuan originally wanted to refute, you Wang Luo didn't like the actor, why can't you play the effect that the audience wants?

Could it be that you, Wang Luo, can represent all the audience alone? But after thinking about it, which of Wang Luo's current works was not decided by him alone, and which actor was not personally selected by him?

However, the results have already told Liu Shaochuan that Wang Luo's insistence is correct. When the words came to his mouth, he had to swallow them back into his stomach.

However, Liu Shaochuan will not just give up, he still plans to inquire about this Xu Zheng first, if it is really suitable, forget it, if it is not suitable, no matter what, it is certain to change the actor. (To be continued......)

PS: I'm sorry, there were a lot of things to celebrate before, and I didn't have time to code words, so this chapter was a little late.
