Chapter 515: Director's Script

(Read more)

No Thieves in the World is a screenplay adapted from Zhao Benfu's short story.

After separating from Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Ning returned to the company, and then instructed Xiao Ming to buy the copyright of Zhao Benfu's short stories.

However, because Zhao Benfu's work is a short story, only more than 1,000 words, many of the content in later movies is not in the novel. Therefore, Zhang Ning had to add more plots to the script. Of course, Zhang Ning has later movies as the basis, which is not difficult, but it is much more convenient to write a script.

It's written.

In a few hours, Zhang Ning finished the script.

Just as Zhang Ning was about to send the script to Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Ning stopped again.

No, the script of no thieves in the world is good. But in fact, it is not as good as expected.

is nothing more than a story of Erlenzi who doesn't believe that there are thieves in the world and takes the train with tens of thousands of yuan.

Speaking of which, such a story is still a bit literate.

If you simply write the script, it may not be able to attract Feng Xiaogang.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ning began to press the script again and began to write the storyboard script.

The so-called storyboard script is the script between the various shots at the time of the filming. He has something like a four-panel comic, and the storyboard is constantly combined according to the shots in the comics, and in the end, he becomes a movie. At the same time, storyboard scripts also have another name, called director's script.

When a director wants to make a movie, in addition to reading the script written by the screenwriter, he also has to write a storyboard script, which is the so-called director's script. Because, he has to guide himself on how to shoot according to the director's script. And directing the script is actually very time-consuming, often a movie, the director has to spend a considerable amount of time when conceiving the director's script. Moreover, often the written director's script has to be repeatedly reversed.

No Thieves in the World is a movie made in 2004, and Zhang Ning naturally knows better than anyone else about the various shots in it.

In order to attract Feng Xiaogang and shock Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Ning decided that he would not only write a simple movie script, but also write the director's script.

According to the memory, Zhang Ning began to draw the table.

Vision: A mansion,

Close-up, living room in a mansion.

The heroine of the movie is teaching the target object like English.

A director's script is much more difficult than a single script, and Zhang Ning is also writing it for the first time.

However, he finally has the lens of later generations and Zhang Ning also has certain writing skills, and it took three days to write it.

"Director Feng, this is the script I wrote."

made an appointment with Feng Xiaogang again, and Zhang Ning took out the script.

"You wrote that?"

Feng Xiaogang was surprised, but also a little secret.

I was surprised that a business genius like Zhang Ning could actually write a script.

Secretly, if there is a specialization in the art industry, can a business genius write a good script?

Feng Xiaogang has been making movies for a few years and has been in contact with many business tycoons. He knows that many business tycoons have movie dreams. Even, he came into contact with many business tycoons who wanted to make some of the stories he wrote into movies. Eventually, however, the films of these business tycoons all failed.

At this time, Zhang Ning took out the script he wrote, and Feng Xiaogang regarded Zhang Ning as one of these people again.

"I didn't write it, the script was based on a short story. The idea of that novel was interesting, but it was a little short, and I made it a little longer. ”

"Oh, yes."

Hearing Zhang Ning say this, Feng Xiaogang felt a little relieved.

Fortunately, it was not Zhang Ning's original.

Feng Xiaogang was thinking about how he should refuse Zhang Ning just now.

"I'll see."

Feng Xiaogang opened the script, and he was not particularly serious at first. After all, even if it wasn't Zhang Ning's originality, he didn't think that a person like Zhang Ning who was engaged in business had many artistic cells. He admits that Zhang Ning is a genius, but a genius cannot be an all-rounder. Movies are films, and commerce is business. Film and commerce don't seem to be equated. Even if they are genius business tycoons, they have no advantage in movies.

However, a few minutes later, as the script deepened and the wonderful plot of the two major thieves colliding with each other appeared, Feng Xiaogang slowly and completely devoted himself to the story from not being serious at the beginning. It wasn't until half an hour that Feng Xiaogang looked up.

"Mr. Zhang, is this really your adapted script?"

Feng Xiaogang felt that there was something incredible.

Judging from this script, there is no trace of a novice, and he is simply a master in the screenwriting industry. Although the film industry has never paid much attention to the identity of editors, they also admit that a good script has too much attraction at the box office.

"Yes, it's the first time I'm writing a script, and if I don't write it well, Mr. Feng shouldn't laugh."

"No, it's the first time."

Feng Xiaogang was even more dumbfounded.

It's written so well for the first time, and it doesn't let people live.

However, Zhang Ning's explanation also proves that this script was written by Zhang Ning.

Because, in the script he saw just now, Feng Xiaogang saw a lot of mistakes in the script. Actually, it can't be said to be a mistake, it can only be said that it is not enough experience, and the processing of some words is not as good as it seems. Similarly, this also proves that Zhang Ning is adapting the script for the first time.

As soon as he thought of this, Feng Xiaogang was already more interested in Zhang Ning.

"Mr. Zhang, if you don't engage in the Internet, I think you will definitely become an excellent screenwriter."

"Thank you."

Zhang Ning said politely, and then took out a slightly thicker piece of information, "By the way, Director Feng, in addition to the script, I also wrote a storyboard script, I don't know if Director Feng is interested in reading it." ”

"Ah, Mr. Zhang, you can also write the storyboard script."

Feng Xiaogang was even more surprised.

He'd never seen an editor write a storyboard.

Of course, it's not that the screenwriter can't write, it's just that the screenwriter is the screenwriter, and he is just responsible for the story. Storyboard scripts are written by the director, and screenwriters write storyboards to do things, is it okay to let a screenwriter make a movie? Therefore, in most cases, screenwriters generally do not write storyboard scripts, which is also wasteful and useless.

Feng Xiaogang, who didn't know what Zhang Ning meant, picked up the information on the table again.

This look is even more surprising than just now.

No, shocking one could even say.

Yes, that's right, Zhang Ning's storyboard script completely shocked Feng Xiaogang.

What kind of storyboard script is this, it's like a movie.

Whether it's the introduction of the scene, or the arrangement of the shots, or even the long shots, close shots, etc., they are all written.

With this script, Feng Xiaogang can already believe it.

If he lets himself shoot, he won't have to exert any force, just press what is written on the storyboard.

Almost, Feng Xiaogang wanted to find a piece of tofu and kill him. There is such a script, what else do you want him to direct.
