"After the end of the world, electronics and industry collapsed in all directions, and there was a shortage of food, clothing, and various materials......"

Liu Tianwang listened quietly.

"I want to portray the protagonist as a 'good guy', but there is no way for a simple 'good guy' to survive in the last days, because you have to eat, you have to wear clothes, and you have to compete with others for resources, so you have to do bad things."

"Now the problem is, I hope that the audience still thinks that the protagonist is a 'good person' after seeing all kinds of 'bad things'. This is a contradiction, how to break? "This is a problem that Lin Mu has never thought of a solution.

Liu Tianwang listened to Lin Mu's question and also fell into deep thought.

Soon, he looked up and replied, "I can assign the protagonist a person he must protect, such as parents, wife, children, and then use relatives to arouse the audience's sympathy." As long as the audience's sympathy rises and hates the other bad guys, the protagonist rises up to resist, and that's right. ”

After Lin Mu listened, his eyes lit up, and he slapped his head and scolded himself for being stupid, during this time, he saw too many novels in which the protagonist's family died in the last days through the Internet in his mind, and then upgraded on a stand-alone basis, and he forgot that the movie can add a supporting role to the protagonist.

Novels and movies are really different.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu thought of "War of the Worlds", which had just been released, and had a conclusion in his heart. However, he still asked Liu Tianwang: "Then the one you want you to protect is your parents?" Wife? Son? Daughter? ”

Liu Tianwang thought for a while and said, "I choose my daughter!" I just thought of Spielberg's "War of the Worlds", in which the protagonist is taking his daughter through all kinds of dangers. ”

Lin Mu listened and smiled: "I think so too." The child represents a new vitality that can bring a breath of life to the dead end times. And it is better to choose a daughter than a son. Because my daughter is weaker and more in need of care, I hope more to arouse the kind of protection in people's hearts. ”

The two of them thought of going together!

Look at each other and smile.

Liu Tianwang said happily: "It is estimated that the screenwriter of the "War of the Worlds" movie also thought so at that time. ”

At this moment, the pug Xiaoha ran over with a fat belly, and then looked at the plate of fruit on the stone table with a cute face, obviously wanting to eat it.

Liu Tianwang was obviously wary of this guy. The foot hurriedly dodged to the side.

Who knows, but in exchange for the contempt of 'Xiaoha'.

Lin Mu picked up a piece of apple and handed it to it, thoughtfully, and then pointed to Xiaoha, the pug who was happily nibbling on the apple, and said to Liu Tianwang: "You say, how about adding another partner to your father and daughter?" ”

"Just this dog?" Liu Tianwang looked at the 'bad' dog and looked constipated.

"Well, how? Two people and a dog go to the end of the world, and you can set this dog to mutate and become stronger because of the virus, and at the same time be loyal to the Lord. Also set your daughter to love the dog very much. In the unsafe end times, only you and this dog can make your daughter feel safe. Think about it, in a dark age without order, how difficult an experience it is for a loyal dog to be a loyal dog, which is sure to make fans happy. ”

Liu Tianwang looked at the 'Xiaoha' who was rolling around and begging to be fed without any skin, and then thought about it just now that it had urinated on his pants, and suddenly his face was black: "Let it be my partner in the end of the world?" ”

Lin Mu was happy when he saw Liu Tianwang like that: "Haha." Don't worry, it's got a high IQ. ”

Although Liu Tianwang was ten thousand unhappy in his heart. But thinking that Lin Mu is indeed right, having a dog can indeed bring more warmth to the cruel end times. After all, this is a science fiction movie, not a horror movie.

"Okay!" Liu Tianwang finally pinched his nose and confessed.

But he still looked at this pug with disdain.

As if sensing Liu Tianwang's contempt, the pug Xiaoha dodged and raised his right hind foot. A water arrow spewed towards Liu Tianwang's location......

Lin Mu gloated and laughed: "It's all said that its IQ is very high, don't despise it......"

"......" Liu Tianwang looked at his feet that were soaked again, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

After Liu Tianwang changed his pants again, he continued to discuss the plot with Lin Mu.

The next thing to talk about is the monster model, in order to give the audience a sense of a new world. Many monsters have to be novel.

"The first is to set up zombies. The word zombie comes from the Voodoo belief, which is a living person without self-consciousness. We want to distinguish zombies from zombies. Zombies are afraid of light, but zombies are not afraid. Zombies move faster and zombies move slowly, but when zombies see the flesh of a living person, they go crazy and become extremely hungry. ”

"But zombies are just the most ordinary monsters, they are slow, and they can be done by knocking their heads off."

"Then there are zombie dogs and zombie cats, these monsters will be extremely dangerous and difficult for ordinary people to deal with."

"And the Licker, a more advanced evolutionary creature with a long, retractable tongue, sharp claws, super-fast speed, and a strong, hard, self-repairing powerful body......"

"Man-eating flowers, evolved from pitcher plants, emit drugs that cause stun in animals, trap prey......"

"Devil vine, evolved from ordinary rattan, has crazy vines, likes animal flesh, can grow spikes on the outside of the rattan, sucking blood and meat......"

"Zombie Bird ......"

"Giant Spiders, Snakes, ......"

Lin Mu said as he drew on the manuscript paper and drew these monster models in his imagination.

As a director, drawing is a skill that needs to be mastered, because when communicating, drawing can be more direct than words, and it is easier for others to understand the director's intentions......

Liu Tianwang's eyes widened wider and wider......

Pointing to the painting on the table, he said to Lin Mu, "You painted this?" ”

Lin Mu shook his head, of course not, "Of course not, this is my idea, and then ask someone to help me draw it, you see, how about it." ”

"It's a good drawing, but I think it takes a lot of money to make these things."

"You don't have to worry about this, the money is from the American company, not me, I only provide the script, and then become the director, the investment is not under my control, but you can rest assured, since I wrote this script and got the consent, then this script can definitely be made."

"The current blockbusters, including My Raiders of the Lost Ark and Spielberg's World War, can't actually be considered blockbusters, and the real blockbusters can only be in 3D."

“3D？ What is 3D? ”

Lin Mu smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when the time comes." (To be continued.) )
