Chapter 373: Dreadnought Assault

Wedo Entertainment's film project, which will tell the story of the main theme of Chinese soldiers' counter-terrorism in space in the near future, has entered the preparatory stage.

The crew is not in a hurry to build it first, and the first thing to do must be the concept design and script.

In order to reflect the importance attached to the project, the concept design of this space movie, tentatively titled "Dreadnought Assault", was done by Fan Zhe himself.

In fact, this project is a bit special in the process of preliminary preparation.

It originated from an idea of Fan Zhe's own, and everything was initially displayed in the form of images.

This means that "Dauntless Assault" does not even have a story now, all of them are sketch settings.

Fan Zhe will continue to draw some of these conceptual design drawings in detail, and will also throw the sketches to other designers, so that they can draw some more designs according to the concept drawings of the sketches.

From these images, you can already feel the aesthetic style of the whole work.

It's a time of the future, but it's not very far away. Humans have landed in space, but not far. It is possible to establish some strongholds on the moon, the earth, individual asteroids, and even a certain scale of migration.

In space, soldiers and fighters mainly rely on spaceships and warplanes to carry out activities, and have exoskeleton armor, which can survive and fight in an extraterrestrial environment.

The style of these armor and spaceships is completely different from those Hollywood blockbusters that can be seen in the mainstream.

Hollywood science fiction films always like to make the spaceship very high-tech, with a streamlined design, and a strong sense of science fiction blue light, which is very common.

However, this "Dreadnought Assault" is completely different, if it is similar, it is more like "The Wandering Earth", with large machinery, large armor, and a rough appearance, but it is very powerful and durable at first glance.

It's a lot like a style left over from the Soviet era, coarse and ugly, but practical. Practical violent industrial style, nothing more than that.

In terms of the design of space pirates, from equipment to appearance, of course, they will make certain differences from the regular army, but under Fan Zhe's brush, these things will be made as realistic as possible.

You don't have to go against the common Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters and be different, after all, there are many places that you must learn from the success of people over the past century. However, it is important to get out of his own style, and Fan Zhe himself will have his own set of aesthetic thinking about these things, and he is confident that he will make something different.

The importance of art in a film is undeniable. Don't simply think of art as the equivalent of special effects, everything embodied in the movie screen is actually in the category of 'art'.

From the use of lenses, the layout and composition of the scene, to the makeup on the actor's face, and even a simple accessory on the body, whether these things can match the story and spiritual core told by the whole movie determines the success of a work.

A really good movie, even if it is a pure feature film, puts absolutely no small amount of effort into the camera.

In terms of the style of making movies at Wedo Entertainment, these artistic things are never to be worried. The most powerful aspect of dimension is in the art aspect. In addition to the 'dimensional' system, the strongest thing about the company is that it has a myriad of talented artists. This is a force that the company relies on when making any project.

With such a huge advantage, you don't have to be a fool.

Even in the case of film projects, the company's art department can even dominate in a sense - how to shoot the film, the opinion of the artist is very important. Many times, the storyboard is well drawn, the set, shots, and scheduling are strictly in accordance with the storyboard drama, and there are not many places for the director to play.

This is the reason why many famous directors who are more powerful don't like to cooperate with Wedo Entertainment very much - there is no room to play! After a movie is filmed, the director has no sense of existence, which is quite difficult for some famous directors to accept - Du Zhengde is an exception.

Of course, in the end, the film depends on the performance of the actors, a complete design, and a good story, and art is not the only one.

In terms of story, it depends on the screenwriter team.

The screenwriting team of Wedo Entertainment has been growing over the years. Fan Zhe has always paid great attention to cultivating a team of screenwriters, because most of their works are stories adapted from games and other things, and the importance of screenwriters is very prominent.

Now, there are more than 60 full-time screenwriters serving Wedo Entertainment, and there are more than 100 screenwriters who are outsourced and co-authored.

There are potential newcomers who have just entered the industry, and there are also experienced veterans in the industry; There are well-known screenwriters recruited from outside, and there are also masters trained by themselves......

They are no longer the small company they were when they were first established, and they are quite confident that they can retain talents, both in terms of career development and remuneration, which are quite attractive. And for outside talents, he also has a very strong attraction to dimensional entertainment.

And the work of hundreds of screenwriters, writing scripts is of course a very important part.

Not only the projects that are being filmed and the projects that are about to be established, but they also write a lot of other scripts. For example, write a script for the IP currently owned by Wedo Entertainment's copyright library; For example, write scripts for some heroes in the LOL series who have not yet established a project; There are even a lot of original stories......

These scripts may not all be used in the near future, and it is normal that they will not even be used for a lifetime, but they must be there anyway. The more you reserve, the more relaxed you will be when carrying out projects in the future. When the time comes, it will be good to come up with a better one directly from the script library.

When the project is about to be established, it is too rushed to create the script, too urgent, and there is not much effort to polish, and the quality of the script will definitely be affected to a certain extent.

Of course, there are times when you really can't help it, like now.

The project of "Dreadnought Assault" came too quickly, and there was indeed no suitable book that could be used directly in the previous script library of Wedo Entertainment, so it could only be written now.

In fact, there are currently nearly twenty screenwriters who have been drawn out to be responsible for this work. They will work together on the script over the course of a month.
