Chapter 149: Changing the Script
Although Xia Ruiyi said that no one would look at the phone shot like this. But the statement captured his thoughts.
"I can't let my signboard smash, let's think of a way to shoot it better, and find a few friends to promote it."
Seeing such an idea, the statement is a lot more reassuring.
He grasped Xia Ruiyi's psychological expectations, and the negotiation naturally went smoothly.
After two more days of busyness, many things have been decided, Xia Ruiyi is experienced and organized, except for complaining every day about how annoying things are, and this movie will not have a future, it is also smooth.
Two days later, they chose a place in Qiangshan and began to select actors.
"Didn't you say that you would put the crew in another city?" The statement asked Xia Ruiyi.
"It's almost a sitcom at such a small cost, where is it not put it?" Xia Ruiyi said angrily: "I originally thought that when I got to Yingcheng, I and the director would have a place to live, and it would be convenient to find actors and props." But now you look at this budget, this scene, and you can only do it here. ”
State the idea of capturing Xia Ruiyi.
"It's not bad to live in the club every day."
Seeing such a statement of thoughts, he was speechless, but it was none of his business, and he didn't bother to care.
The next few days were busy and peaceful, and the statement gradually focused on completing Wei Yan's system tasks.
Wei Yan's happiness value is always not high. Even if you state that you will sit next to him tomorrow as long as you are free, it is not very effective to use passive skills to improve your mood.
Well, Wei Yan revised his script every day at Xia Ruiyi's request, and when he thought it was a mess, he was naturally in a bad mood.
The statement turned his head to look at it, and it was simply resentful that he caught Wei Yan's head......
"This kind of story is not suitable for adding comedy elements at all......"
"It's going to be funny here, what if I can't be funny?"
"According to Xia Ruiyi, this is adding a low-level joke, which is simply ruining my script......"
"Why has Vice President Chen been by my side? Is he not satisfied with my job? That's exactly ......."
"Well, I don't know what to do at all......"
Observing Wei Yan's mind in this way, he made a decision after stating his thoughts.
It can't go on like this, Wei Yan obviously hasn't entered the working state yet.
And this kind of thing is not very helpful to others, except for Guan Sinian. But Guan Sinian is now preparing for casting, and he is also very busy.
This is the first time that the statement has produced a movie, and I hope to do a good job.
In this part of the script, since Wei Yan's ability is insufficient, he plans to intervene in person......
Statements open the system store in the head.
"Purchasing the first level of the [Choreographer's Skill] will cost 1000 happiness points, please confirm."
"Sure."
"Purchasing the second level of the [Choreographer's Technique] skill will cost 2000 happiness points, please confirm."
"Sure."
The statement waited with his eyes closed for a moment, feeling as if something had changed in himself.
"Screenwriter Wei, let me help you figure it out. Let's talk about the script, maybe for a while, you will have new ideas? ”
Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and the happiness value on his head was only 32.
"Okay." Wei Yan responded.
The thought in his head was, "It's so difficult, now even the producer has to get involved in my script." ”
The statement smiled and said: "First of all, your original script took place in modern times, the female singer Lu Qianning was peerless, and her name was Jiangcheng, but she died mysteriously when she was the most popular. A year after her death, on the day of the memorial service, five men went to the Qianning Building where she lived to mourn. They respectively told their own memories of Lu Qianning's death before and after. In this story, they found out that the murderer was among them......"
Wei Yan nodded, and found that the summary of the statement was clearer than before.
Wei Yan was also able to concentrate on the plot all day long, and said:
"Yes, that's it, it's very unrealistic for me to move this setting to modern times, and Mr. Xia didn't give me a chance to discuss it with him at all. First, it is very abrupt for a singer to appear in modern times who is so popular. Second, the identities of the five male protagonists are also difficult to change. Third, no matter how you change it, you will lose that charm......"
He concluded: "I set the time in modern times for consideration. ”
The statement said: "I support Mr. Xia's point of view on this point. ”
"Why?"
"In order to resonate, the audience can't find resonance with the peerless female singers in Jiujiang City." The statement sighed: "And it is true that there is no film market for period dramas. Mr. Xia wants a lighter, younger comedy and suspense style. ”
"But if you change it like this, it's very nondescript."
"Then change all the settings, overturn them all, and start all over again."
Wei Yan was stunned for a moment and exclaimed, "How can it be?" ”
"Yes, you have to know why we chose your script."
"What?"
"Your opening story is really not engaging, and the reason we chose this script is because of your reasoning design, which is the core of your play," he said. We just need to take out the core of this drama and completely replace the outside setting. ”
Wei Yan was a little stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
The statement smiled and said, "The story is going to be bones, and these are just meat on the outside." You're a screenwriter, you have to learn to separate flesh and blood, and put a better skin on it......"
"But how?"
"Don't want a gorgeous female singer. It's okay to change it to a cute and sweet, nextdoor-to-door image, and a little idol who has just debuted. Through memories, increase her role and make the roles of the male and female characters in this play more stable. This is a small flower among the green leaves, and it will be one of the highlights, more infectious than a modern female singer with a blank face......"
Wei Yan nodded, took out a pen and paper and began to write it down.
"Five narrators are the main thread of this story, and we can create the feeling of five big men guarding a little idol who has just debuted. Their identity can be changed......"
"The original detective can be changed to a private detective; The original owner of Qianninglou can be changed to the heroine's agent......"
"We're going to give them distinct personalities, like Detective, do you know Kogoro Maori?"
"And the direction of the whole story is still the reasoning process that you put your energy into writing, and it's clever enough...... In this way, the shape that Mr. Xia wants, the core you want, can still coexist......"
The statement was spoken little by little, and Wei Yan was remembered little by little.
In the end, Wei Yan nodded vigorously and responded: "Vice President Chen, I have an idea and know how to change it." ”
"Time is running out, and we have to change the new script in five days, is that okay?"
"Five days?" Wei Yan was taken aback.
"Well, I've heard of someone who can fix it in one night." stated that.
Wei Yan sweated and thought, "That's not the same thing as this." Sometimes you look like an insider, sometimes you look really good at the outside......"
But he thought about it and agreed.
