Wang Qinian's script is tentatively set as "The Gate of Destiny", this script is good because of the novelty of the idea, and the plot has a certain compulsion.

After the idea of the script was unanimously approved by everyone, Wang Qinian began to create this script.

The standard movie script length is about 12o pages, and the plot is about one minute per page. However, the teacher in the school said that "it is best to create more than 135 pages", because after the script is written, it is inevitable that it will have to be deleted, and it is actually very polite to delete 15 pages.

In addition, script creation cannot only consider writing the plot and lines, but also consider the cost and conditions of actual shooting. Suppose that a very good script, but it requires very harsh and expensive conditions to be filmed, which is not suitable for the small-budget film with an investment of 3o yuan planned by Wang Qinian.

Therefore, for the script of "The Gate of Destiny", Wang Qinian's progress in creation is extremely slow, and every page and even every line of the plot has to be scrutinized repeatedly. After writing, it is necessary to consult the opinions of other people in the dormitory, for example, after someone points out that a certain plot or line is inappropriate, Wang Qinian thinks about whether and how to change it.

In short, he can't write exactly what he thinks, he has to write a script that is acceptable to others. At the very least, everyone in the dormitory, as the main creative team of the future of the movie, and everyone in their own team must understand, accept, and appreciate this script.

Constantly overturned and revised, it took half a month for Wang Qinian to create a script of less than 4o pages. After that, I took this script as an assignment for this semester's play, and took it to the teachers at school to read and receive more authoritative opinions.

"The creativity is good, but the life experience is very shallow, and the characters are not real. Lines and the like can't stand scrutiny......" Professor Zhong, the tutor of the Department of Literature, used red ink to mark out dozens of paragraphs, "However, as a student work, it is already rare!" ”

Professor Zhong belongs to the academic bull who has written equal works, and was born as a child of Beijing Film Studio since he was a child. And after being admitted to the Department of Literature and Literature in the 8o, he was destined to be a filmmaker. More than just translating classics like "Fundamentals of Film Script Writing". Moreover, he participated in the compilation of "Chinese Film History", "Towards the Film Temple", "Forty Years of Beiying" and other works, many of which are now reference books of Beiying.

Wang Qinian was sincerely afraid, took the script back, and said, "Teacher Zhong, thank you so much!" ”

"What's polite, you're in your freshman year, and you haven't finished "Script Basics" yet, and you can write such a script, which is already quite good...... You can boast to other students! But for you, I think it's better to be strict. The top student in the college entrance examination and the results of professional courses are also much better than those of other peers. Professor Zhong said earnestly, "You may have known the truth that you should become famous as soon as possible, but you still have to remember another sentence - screenwriters must endure loneliness!" ”

"Thank you, teacher, for the point!" Wang Qinian said.

"Yes, that's right! After the script is created, you have to go to the Film Bureau to register, and the movie is not approved, so it is best not to commit crimes against the wind. Nowadays, many students take their works to overseas exhibitions without the approval of the relevant departments, which is very irrational! Films may not be screened in China, or they may be banned. For example, Tian Zhuangzhuang from our school filmed "Blue Kite" a few years ago, but before he was allowed to shoot, he quietly invested in filming. After filming, I went overseas to participate in film festivals without approval, and won awards at the Tokyo Film Festival and Hawaii Film Festival, but I was banned from filming for ten years! Teacher Zhong said with a rare mention.

Wang Qinian was stunned when he heard this, and he knew, no wonder Tian Zhuangzhuang, a big director at the same time as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, became popular for a period of time in the 8o ~ early 9o years, and after that, it was quiet. It turned out to be ...... There is a ten-year ban period!

A director has been banned from filming for a long time, and no investor is willing to pay for him to make a film. In the long run, both popularity and director's skills will decline, and even a talented director will be abandoned.

In this regard, Wang Qinian secretly reminded in his heart - don't do this kind of ** behavior of committing crimes against the wind. For the sake of some so-called overseas awards, offending the domestic authorities will cost you the loss of the domestic market. After being blacklisted for a few years or ten years, no matter how prosperous the domestic film and television industry is, there is nothing to do with itself.

"Teacher, what kind of charter is this script for filing and reviewing?" Wang Qinian humbly asked.

"Units with film and television shooting qualifications shall submit scripts to the Film Bureau for the record. The filing must have more than 1ooo words and a plot synopsis. Within 2o days, the Film Bureau will give a reply. After the review is passed, you can "film production license", and after you get the license, you can legally shoot movies! Professor Zhong smiled and said, "Generally, it is easier to apply for a permit in the name of a student's work. However, the movie needs to add the name of the instructor! ”

"I see!" Wang Qinian said shyly, "Teacher, you can be a good person to the end, help me apply!" ”

In this regard, Professor Zhong was naturally willing to be this favor, teach Wang Qinian some materials, and then, a few days later, submit the materials to the Film Bureau for review in the name of the Film Academy.

If it can be reviewed, Wang Qinian will continue to shoot. If it is not approved, he will consider changing it according to the requirements, and if it does, he will change the script.

As for committing a crime against the wind, you can't go through guò review and shooting, this kind of stupid thing, Wang Qinian will not do. On the one hand, he feels that the domestic market is more promising than the overseas market. In addition, he invested with his own money, and if he didn't get through the guò review, he would be banned, and the loss would be his own money.

Jia Zhangke doesn't take the domestic ban seriously, and a lot of it is because he used someone else's former filming. Moreover, after the domestic ban was made, there was an overseas market. For example, Jia Zhangke's "Xiao Wu" was not approved, so he went to overseas exhibitions, and after that, the domestic cultural department had a bad impression of him. The work "Platform" did not get a shooting permit, but it was filmed against the wind, and after that, his work has been blacklisted in China for a long time.

But Jia Zhangke doesn't care, because he has a certain reputation in the overseas niche literary market, and he can't make a lot of money, but he won't starve to death.

However, Jia Zhangke is a negative lesson, and it turns out that no matter how many generals are overseas, his achievements may not be able to reach the big directors in the domestic market. For example, later Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and others rarely won so-called awards, but breaking 100 million and 1 billion in China, breaking box office records again and again, is the best praise.

The foundation of the movie, after all, is the box office market of the masses, not the niche film awards.

Learning from the lessons of Jia Zhangke later, Wang Qinian knew that in essence, film is just a consumer product at the cultural level. Consumers, on the other hand, are mainly native speakers.

The mother tongue market is the lake and the ocean, and the creator is the fish. Fish cannot be separated from water for a long time, and after a long time, they may die of thirst.

Therefore, Chinese filmmakers can only stand at the top of the world if they succeed in the Chinese market. Filmmakers who have given up on the Chinese market will never be able to achieve the big climate.
