Chapter 21: A Familiar Tale

On November 8, after class, Wang Qinian returned to the student apartment early. Hao Yi, Li Jie, and Du Jie's three roommates are also there.

"Brother Nian, do you have any clue about the script?" Du Jie fiddles with a dV as if it were a real camera.

Most of the students in the photography and directing departments of Beiying do not have the money to buy or rent professional cameras. Therefore, most students retreat to the next best thing and buy a dV of about 20,000 yuan to replace the camera for practice.

Through Guò's constant efforts, Du Jie's photographic techniques are flying forward.

"Well, I have some ideas!" Wang Qinian said, "Last night, I was lying in bed and thinking about it, and I had a dream at night! I think this dream may be very interesting! ”

"Dreams??" The crowd seemed curious and listened.

"This dream is like this, Wang Dazhui, a candidate who failed the Beijing Film Art Exam, met a future time and space traveler. The Time Traveler gives Wang Sledgehammer a 'Time Meter' that constantly removes back in time, and at the touch of a button, he can go back in time to a certain stage in the past. However, the time meter has a huge sequelae, the butterfly effect. Going back in time and changing a small event can have unintended consequences.

For the first time, Wang Dazhui used props and returned to January 1997, because he knew the exam questions in advance, so he was admitted to Beiying. During the examination process, he knew a girl and had a good impression of her. The girl and he were both admitted to the acting department. Because he was very good, the girl committed suicide after falling off the list. As a result, Wang Dazhui felt that even if he was admitted to the Beiying Performance Department, it was meaningless. So, he is ready to go back in time and change this unfortunate history.

The second time, Wang Dazhui used props and went back in time. This time, he did not take the Beiying exam, but relied on the prediction of the past, he made a lot of money in the stock market and became a multimillionaire. He disguised himself as a poor student and fell in love with a girl. But the girl later betrayed him and followed a boss worth millions. Wang Dazhui originally borrowed wine to kill his sorrows. Later, I was shocked to learn that the girl committed suicide...... Because, the girl loves Wang Da Hammer, and the reason for the betrayal is because her mother is sick and needs money, Wang Da Hammer knows this truth, and feels very regretful and is ready to change history again.

The third time, Wang Dazhui went back in time and made a lot of money, which was used to treat the girl's mother. But this time, the girl didn't fall in love with him, and only reciprocated him as a favor. Later, Wang Da Hammer appeared, the girl's sister was more beautiful, empathized, and fell in love with the girl's sister. But at this time, the girl is actually pregnant. The girl's sister is also pregnant, and because her sister is jealous of her sister, she asks Wang Dazhui to express her stance and only love one. Wang Da Hammer hesitated, the girl's sister was psychologically distorted, killed her sister, and prepared to kill Wang Da Hammer. Wang Dazhui hurriedly used the time instrument and avoided being killed.

The fourth time, Wang Dazhui chose not to contact the girl, but chose another city to settle down. He was comfortable, married, and had children. But when his son was in school, he was kidnapped by gangsters. Among the gangsters, it was actually the girl he would never forget......"

When Wang Qinian told the story of his script, everyone felt powerless.

"This Wang sledgehammer is too unlucky, isn't it?" Li Xie thought of playing this unlucky guy, not only with a wry smile on his face.

Wang Qinian said with a smile: "We are playing with a small cost, and if the plot is not like this, the audience will not be impressed!" And if the audience is not impressed, then there is no way to make them remember it, and they can't save their fame. Many writers like to write about tragedies, mainly because tragedies are simpler and easier to remember. Comedy that is easy to remember is difficult! ”

"I think this plot is a bit familiar!" Hao Yi said thoughtfully.

"Where? I'm very original, I don't imitate others! Wang Qinian secretly said in his heart that "Butterfly Effect" and "Gate of Destiny Stone" are film and television and animation works, and they have not yet come out! In addition, when crossing for the third time, the protagonist stepped on two boats, resulting in the capsizing of the boat and the plot of the firewood knife, which was borrowed from "Sun on Campus". Now, "Days on Campus" has not come out either.

"No, no, no! There is nothing new in the world, what you can think of, it is very likely that someone else has thought of something similar! Hao Yi said.

"Impossible!" Wang Qinian is a little unconvinced, if it is placed in the future generations, reborn on the Internet, through a bunch of novels, this kind of theme may be a big road, but now, Wang Qinian dares to say, absolutely creative!

"Yes, I thought of it, Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West" series, which uses a moonlight treasure box to constantly travel through time and space, which is very similar to this!" Hao Yi suddenly said excitedly.

Wang Qinian was stunned for a moment-

This has to be taken orally!

"Journey to the West" was released in 95, and among Stephen Chow's works, the box office is not high, but it is the most influential and has been interpreted and analyzed by countless people.

Not to mention the "connotation" of "Journey to the West", just talking about the factor that was very fashionable later, "Journey to the West" was used first.

In addition, later "Butterfly Effect", "Gate of Destiny Stone" and other plots that repeatedly crossed to break free from fate. This idea has been used in "Journey to the West" - in order to change his fate, the Supreme Treasure repeatedly uses the Moonlight Treasure Box to cross, but can never get a satisfactory ending. In the end, the Supreme Treasure was not able to break free from fate, but turned into Sun Wukong and returned to the track of Journey to the West.

It's actually an illustration of how difficult it is to be creative. I finally came up with an idea, I think it's quite novel, in fact, if you are well-informed, you should be able to appear, and similar ideas have been used before!

And according to the predecessors who have used this idea, it can also be judged that this idea can not be a head!

According to Wang Qinian's analysis, the predecessor "Journey to the West" used this idea and became a classic. The later "Butterfly Effect" and "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" can also be regarded as classics. This means that the idea itself is a great idea that is easy to create a classic!

What's even better is that at present, this idea has not become a rotten routine!

It can't be said to be original, but it can definitely make most viewers feel novel.

"Then you say, is there a head in this show?" Wang Qinian asked.

"Yes, yes, but how to raise funds?" Du Jie said.

Wang Qinian heard the words and said: "I can't manage so much first, the first step is to create the script and submit it for review." The second step is to attract investment and sponsorship, and the third step is to make a film! ”

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and the script comes out first! When the time comes, let's all find a way to pull sponsorship together, even if it is begging, it will be worth it if we can shoot it! Hao Yi said.

"Du Jie, do you estimate that this film will be filmed, and the picture quality is the kind that can be shown in cinemas, how much investment will it take?" Wang Qinian asked.

"This ...... The most conservative estimate is also 3o yuan! Du Jie counted for a long time.

Wang Qinian heard the words and said: "Okay, 3o thousand, this investment, strive to get it in the next semester!" When the script came out, everyone tried their best to figure it out! In the mixed film and television industry, if you want to get ahead in the future, you need to continue to create opportunities! Show your face more and mix a little more qualifications in the circle! If 3o million makes a reputation, it is enough for us to struggle for five years! ”

"Yes!" Everyone seemed very excited, even if they invested a penny now, they didn't get anything, and the movie was still stuck in words and plans.
