When Yan Fei called Xi Muhan, Xi Muhan had just gotten up and hadn't had time to wash his face.

This time the creation of the outline, although Shen Xin provided the background and settings, but she also had to understand the meaning of these settings first, after all, she did not create it herself, and then, search for information, write the outline, and discuss and revise with Shen Xin, an 11-episode TV series, the revised outline, there are 70,000 words, plus the plot and ambush. Half a month, just barely enough.

When he received Yan Fei's call, Xi Muhan was uneasy in his heart.

"News from Area 11?"

"Hmm."

"How?" Xi Muhan was nervous, and there was a trace of expectation in his heart.

Yan Fei took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, District 11...... Superintendent Shoji disagreed. ”

"Huh? Why? Xi Muhan was puzzled.

"Wait a minute, I'll translate the email he wrote and send it to your mailbox."

"Oh......"

Xi Muhan was a little distracted, came back to his senses, and just wanted to thank Yan Fei, but found that the other party had hung up the phone, so he came to the workbench weakly.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xin asked curiously.

"Didn't pass."

Xi Muhan looked depressed, scratched his head, and didn't have time to clean up his hair, making him even more haggard.

Shen Xin didn't know how to comfort Xi Muhan.

In a drama, the screenwriter has a great role and power, and can even decide the life and death of the character, but these are limited to overseas markets, and the screenwriters of the earth have little status.

Logically speaking, there are also many authors who have written scripts on Earth.

However, Xi Muhan has no experience in this area, and the partner is from District 11, so the language barrier makes it very inconvenient to communicate, and there is no one to give advice. As a result, the progress was not as smooth as expected.

Shen Xin didn't know how to write the script, and when he saw Xi Muhan's sad face, he said: "Or, you write it according to it, and then let the people in District 11 adapt it?" ”

"Brother Xin, this time it's Xigang...... It has nothing to do with it. Xi Muhan pouted, his eyes were pitiful, and tears were about to fall.

“……”

That's a real problem.

Shen Xin thought back to the details and didn't find too many problems.

It's nothing more than that the emperor of Xingguo is critically ill, and a series of struggles that start from this, isn't this kind of plot okay? Or is it too cliché?

Belch...... Let's take a look at what Shoji Uno thinks first, right?

Soon, Yan Fei translated Zhuang Si Yuye's suggestion into Huaxia and sent it to Xi Muhan, and Shen Xin also had the opportunity to understand Zhuang Si Yuye's opinion.

"The rhythm drags on, the topic is late, and the rhythm and style are inconsistent with "Steel". It's not that the story takes place in Xingguo, so you can play freely, and the original plot must also have a place that reflects the original work.

"First, explain the two characters, and second, introduce alchemy (it seems that alchemy should be reflected in "Steel Forge"). However, the outline only reflects the first point, and the second point is not mentioned, and it is recommended to add it. In addition, the fate of the characters is simple, the growth is limited, and the outline and setting are not thick enough, so it is recommended to rewrite. ”

"What do you mean?" Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin puzzled.

"Uh......" Shen Xin scratched his head, "I know a little bit." In general, an animation screening needs to be done quickly, that is, to attract readers to the front. The first few episodes don't need much foreshadowing, let's introduce the key characters first. This step is mainly about two characters and alchemy, so these two should be ...... in advance At least, in the first three episodes, it should come out. I think so. ”

"That'...... How to explain the fate of the characters simply, and the lack of heaviness in the setting...... The fate of the characters has been very tortuous, Zhang. May almost died. ”

"I'm afraid the problem lies in the word 'almost'."

"Huh? You mean Jean. Plums...... Didn't she appear in Steelcast? ”

"You can let other people die...... For example, for characters who usually have a good relationship with her, the supporting roles serve the plot. ”

"Huh?"

"Have you ever heard of the 'third word effect'?" Shen Xin asked.

"I don't know."

"To put it simply, it's a cartoon in the third episode, and suddenly changes style. For example, the previous plot was relatively brisk, but in the third episode, the plot suddenly changed, and someone died suddenly. ”

The creator of the "third word effect" is "Madoka Magical Girl", and Asami Ba's sudden death in the third episode surprised many readers.

It's not that Gaiden has to do this, but there still have to be twists in the story.

"Heavy? The history of the rejuvenation of the country has been written into the outline. ”

Shen Xin shook his head, he was not Zhuang Si Yuye, how could he guess his thoughts?

"And the character has limited growth...... There are only 11 episodes of the anime, and the main character ...... And it's still two, how do you reflect growth? Xi Muhan bit his lip lightly and frowned.

Shen Xin didn't know what to do.

This time, the creative plot does not exist in the original work, which means that he wants to work with Xi Muhan to create a plot that cannot differ too much from the original work.

Seeing the lost Xi Muhan, Shen Xin also felt nervous for the first time.

Original...... It's the original ...... of "Steel" again.

What kind of script can be written, no one knows.

"It's okay, let's figure it out together, and there will be an idea in the end." Shen Xin comforted.

Xi Muhan sat in front of the computer, looking at the screen distractedly, and didn't eat dinner.

When Shen Xin saw such a Xi Muhan, he also lost his appetite for eating.

Now, Xi Muhan has doubts about himself, if he doesn't support her anymore, Xiao Han is likely to collapse.

"There's no heaviness...... The main character does not grow...... Where do you start? ”

Shen Xin flipped through the detailed outline written by Xi Muhan again.

Zhuang Si Yuno said this, there must be a basis, and the comparison he made should be "Steel Forged".

So, where does this heaviness and character growth come from?

Edward's growing strength?

Shen Xin shook his head, even in the end, Edward's strength was not the strongest. However, those who have watched "Steel" have to admit that Edward has matured a lot.

As for the outline, although it is not as detailed as the main text, the highlights still need to be involved. The growth of the character is undoubtedly the highlight. The outline of the network also requires this, for example, what event escalation the protagonist is completing must be mentioned.

So, how did Edward grow up in "Steel"?

Shen Xin recalled "Steel Refining" from beginning to end.

At the same time, Xi Muhan was also thinking about another question.

Whether a work has a sense of heaviness depends on whether the content reflects a sense of history on the one hand, and whether it has connotation on the other hand.

What is the connotation of "Steel Forge"? Equivalent exchange? Or alchemy?

Xi Muhan scratched his head, got up and flipped out the comic of "Steel Chain".
