If God gave you a chance to start over, back ten years ago, what kind of life would you choose?

This is the selling point of the plot of the movie "Rebirth Back Ten Years Ago", of course, this is also the main selling point of the work with the theme of urban rebirth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoし

As early as Zhou Xingwen's "Legend of Rebirth", it has described the story of a teenager who was reborn back more than ten years ago and changed his life destiny.

However, the originator of "Legend of Rebirth" is too literary, and the rhythm is relatively slow, the protagonist is reborn back to the era of a few years of childhood, the slow rhythm, there may be no problem in making TV series, but if you make a movie, you may be scolded by the audience as a bad movie because of the slow progress of the plot.

Therefore, the plot of the movie "Rebirth Back to Ten Years Ago" adopts the theme of rebirth, but the story is re-adapted, mainly to speed up the pace and add more dramatic conflicts in the short 120-minute movie!

At the beginning of the plot, the twenty-nine-year-old Maas attended a friend's wedding banquet, and in the banquet, Mas, who was not very happy, found out that the bride was actually his former ex-girlfriend Liu Yixin. Once, they loved, once swore by mountains and seas. However, after Mas graduated, his career has been stumbling, and in order to find a job, he separated from his girlfriend. After that, due to his busy work, he did not contact his girlfriend again at all.

After waiting for ten years, Liu Yixin couldn't wait any longer, so she naturally found a man to marry.

After leaving the wedding feast, Maas got drunk and accidentally drove the car into the bottomless water. Originally, he thought that he was going to die this time, but he found that he was reborn back ten years ago.

The era when I just graduated......

Maas decided to change his fate, first of all, the first step was to save his love, and he was not separated from Liu Yixin. It's about working together in the same city.

But the boss of Liu Yixin's company. Crazy pursuit of her. And, take out the check and ask Mas to leave Liu Yixin. Then, Maas began to counterattack.

First of all, Maas relied on his prescient ability to speculate in stocks - "Changhong Changhong and Changhong, development and development!" "In the nineties, there was a period of Sichuan Changhong and Shenzhen development, in just over a year, nearly ten times soared myth.

Next. Maas successfully counterattacked, opened a company, and relied on creativity. Defeated the opponent. However, the rival in love is hired thugs. Deal with Maas.

Moreover, Maas began to know that he had far underestimated the energy of his rival, and the other party's company was only opened with his pocket money, and his family's strength was at least equivalent to hundreds of millions of assets. Inside the city. The connections of his rival's family make it difficult for him to move an inch!

Thereupon. Ma and Liu Shuixin quietly left the northern city and went to the SZ Special Economic Zone in the south, which is across the river from Hong Kong. In the SZ Special Zone, Maas invested the funds he earned in Tencent, which was in dire need of venture capital, and became a member of Tencent's management.

Next, Maas created the myth of the Internet, Tencent rang the bell in Hong Kong and went public, he became a billionaire, began to fight back in the city, and began the road of revenge of the gentleman...... With commercial competition, the opponent's business was crushed.

Next, with the officialdom connections, check the accounts of the other company, and naturally there are some shady scenes and holes in them.

In order to make up for the hole of embezzlement, the rival was forced to start using the company's money to speculate in stocks. As a result, of course, it was a miserable loss, and various financial problems were exposed.

At this time, Maas waited like a rabbit and sent his opponent to prison......

This story is not very exciting in the rebirth novel, there are countless rebirth novels that are much more complex than this, and the pattern is much larger. However, the movie is only 120 minutes, and in order for the audience to understand the plot, it naturally can't be too complicated.

Wang Qinian drew up the framework, and Zhou Xingwen began to write a specific plot according to this story framework. Because it is the theme of rebirth that he is good at, in addition, the little partner company arranged some assistants for him, and let him write full-time. Therefore, Zhou Xingwen writes relatively quickly, writing at least 5,000 words a day, and he has already written this story in time.

Next, the small partner company began to internally let the screenwriter team continue to revise and polish, and let some employees come to find mistakes in the script.

There are more than 100 people involved in the writing of the script.

Among them, Wang Qinian and Zhou Xingwen paid the main labor. The remaining more than a dozen screenwriters participated, and the other more than 100 were employees of the company, so that more people could find mistakes and revise them, and brainstorming could better create qualified commercial films that meet the public's aesthetic taste.

This is similar to Bai Juyi writing poems in the Tang Dynasty, in order to make the poems easy to understand, he constantly read the poems to many people and asked others for their opinions to revise the poems. Until the old woman who doesn't know the words can understand the meaning of the poem, Bai Juyi will bring his poem to the scene as a formal poem!

This is especially true for commercial films, no matter what the subject matter of the movie, the audience must first understand it!

And with such a minimum requirement, most directors and screenwriters can't do it!

It can be seen that commercial films look easy, but they are far more complicated to shoot than literary films. In literary films, the director does not have to take into account the feelings of others, he can express his creative intentions, ordinary audiences do not understand, but the director of literary films is happy and feels that he has a forced character.

For commercial films, the story must be made clear. On this basis, other ...... are pursued

"Okay, the script is ok!" Wang Qinian looked at the script that had been polished after the efforts of more than 100 people, and the final revision was still made by himself, so the script can still fully implement Wang Qinian's ideas, at the same time, under the creation of collective wisdom, some personal styles may have been wiped out, but the script that has been revised by more and more people's aesthetic vision is more in line with the requirements of commercial films, at least, it is easy to understand!

Seeing this, Zhou Xingwen couldn't help wiping his sweat and said, "I'm tired!" I've never written so much in a month before! ”

The screenwriters of the small partner company disagreed, when the screenwriter was in a hurry, he wrote 10,000 words a day, which is not a legend, but the writing speed that many screenwriters have. However, such a written manuscript can only be regarded as a draft, and it still needs to be constantly revised in the future.

"I heard that you online writers don't write very quickly, often writing tens of thousands of words every day, 3 million a year?" One screenwriter laughed.

"Who said that!" Zhou Xingwen was surprised, "There are very few people who write tens of thousands of words, and most of the well-known online writers I know don't write so much every day." What's the use of writing more? The key is to write well! Write well, there is a market! Write more and write faster, the story is not good, no one reads it, and still no one reads it! ”

"That's right!" The screenwriters also agree.

The same is true for scripts, good scripts and bad scripts are often decided from the beginning.

Some poor scripts are not good in terms of subject matter and story, and even if they are revised, they will not be changed to flowers.

Some scripts that are easy to sell are easy to sell in terms of topic selection and story, even if they use bullshit sentences, a bunch of typos, and are written without mainstream writing skills, it is still difficult to hide their potential to be a big seller. (To be continued.) (。 ))
