Now that it has been decided to hand over the movie "To Youth" to the current Mufan Pictures for shooting.

Zhang Fan is about to start slowly refining the plot outline according to the documents he has compiled before.

In the 90s of the last century, the heroine was admitted to the neighboring school where her childhood sweetheart's big brother was located, and then a series of love stories happened on campus.

The story must end in tragedy, Zhang Fan remembers that the male protagonist chose to study abroad because of his poor family background and abandoned the female protagonist, the female protagonist became an urban beauty, and the male protagonist came back and met again after a successful career.

Zhang Fan spent about three days recalling the plot of the movie, looking at the paper full of writing, full of a sense of accomplishment.

He didn't dare to guarantee that what he remembered was the complete plot, but he depicted a complete story line.

Of course, what he wrote was certainly not a real screenplay, and now what he wrote on paper could only be described as a short story.

The script must be written by a professional screenwriter, at least he will not write anything more professional such as storyboard language now.

After writing these things, Zhang Fan has to think about how many possibilities there are for Yang Ruohan to implement the things on paper, and he has to think about this novel from Yang Ruohan's point of view.

Soon Zhang Fan discovered the problem, and the novel is set in the 90s of the last century. If you really want to shoot this, you definitely need a set.

It is also necessary to specifically procure items that are in line with the era, and this is an expense.

In addition, most of the background is on a university campus, and it is not easy to find a campus with quaint scenery.

After thinking about the paper for a long time, Zhang Fan helplessly found that although what he wrote was very good, the funds needed to really shoot it were probably not what Mufan Pictures could afford now.

With a wry smile, he saved what was recorded on the paper back in the computer, and then physically destroyed the paper.

Zhang Fan can only think about a script that fits the reality of Mufan Pictures again.

This script can only be reproduced in two years. However, at that time, Zhang Fan estimated that the original author had already written the novel, and he only needed to go to the author to seek the film and television adaptation rights of the novel.

After all, what the original author wrote will definitely be better than what Zhang Fan wrote based on movie memories alone.

In this case, Zhang Fan has to rethink what movies are suitable for the current Mufan Pictures.

The background should not be too old, otherwise some of the sets will definitely increase the cost.

It's best if the story takes place in high school, so you don't have to go to a college campus to shoot it.

The Spring Festival of 06 passed slowly in Zhang Fan's thinking script.

Zhang Fan has also been thinking about the script during the Spring Festival this year, and seeing that it is about to reach the agreed time to visit the other party's house with Sisi, Zhang Fan finally thought of a suitable movie.

To be precise, it is not a movie, but an online drama he watched in his previous life.

Although it is an online drama, the filming is very good, and Zhang Fan has been watching this drama during that time.

If it weren't for the movie script that had been thinking about it in his mind, Zhang Fan would have thought of this campus youth film a long time ago.

"The Sky of the Wind Dog Boy" was the last online drama Zhang Fan watched before he was reborn. Youth, love, friendship, family and a series of contents are all included.

Now that he thought of this web drama, Zhang Fan is ready to re-plan the outline of the movie script according to this web drama.

Since it is an online drama, there must be a lot of content and plots, and the movie is only two hours long, so some plots Zhang Fan definitely needs to be cut.

As for the male lead, Zhang Fan feels that Liu Wenqin is more suitable as the male lead of the movie than Brother Dog.

Although Liu Wenqin is not a member of the foursome, he is the central node of the entire web drama connecting all the plots.

Liu Wenqin heroically rescued Li Anran in the square, and then Li Anran transferred to Jiefangbei Middle School in order to follow Liu Wenqin's traces. There is a series of stories that happen.

Since Liu Wenqin was chosen as the male protagonist of the whole movie, some online drama plots that have nothing to do with Zhang Fan need to be cut.

Although Brother Dog's father was very moved when he died, it had nothing to do with Liu Wenqin's main line, so he could only cut it down.

There is also the plot of Big Mouth and Mimi in the Liberation Monument Foursome that also needs to be cut, and they can only appear as tool people in the movie.

With the experience of "To Youth" for the first time, Zhang Fan did not take long to complete most of the plot of the novel with Liu Wenqin as the main line this time.

In particular, Liu Wenqin's "You need to know that the young Ling Yunzhi was the first class in the world" and "When did life give me 18 years old" The two descriptions of Liu Wenqin are even more focused on depiction.

But when it came to the end, Zhang Fan made a difficulty.

He didn't know how to arrange Liu Wenqin's ending. He had two options in mind.

One is that after Liu Wenqin was released from prison, he sang "The Love of My Life" at the New Year's Day party and ended separately from many friends.

There is also the ending of the online drama Liu Wenqin: when he went to chase the gangsters, he fell into Ma Tian's arms to make the ending.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Fan decided to write both endings, and then discuss with the screenwriter and Yu Feihong which ending to use.

After writing, Zhang Fan roughly estimated the cost, which can be said to be a typical small-budget movie script, and if the budget is reasonable, it can be shot for five or six million.

The number of words in the novels written by Zhang Fan is not too much, only about forty or fifty thousand words. Thinking of going to see Sisi tomorrow, I printed out the whole novel and listened to Sisi's opinion.

When Zhang Fan came out of the customs, it was already a year old, and he hadn't been out much during this time except for talking to Sisi on the phone, and even during the Spring Festival, he only talked to Sisi for a long time.

This is the first time the two have met after a year, and Zhang Fan has asked a housekeeping company to help clean the two-bedroom apartment after the last time. So the two didn't go anywhere else after meeting this time, and went there directly.

"Sisi, this is the novel I just wrote during this time, you can see how it is, give some opinions" Zhang Fan said and handed the printed novel to Sisi.

Sisi looked at the paper handed over by Zhang Fan, "This is the novel you wrote during this time, then I must take a good look at it." ”

Sisi was about to flip through the novel, as if she thought of something, and asked nervously, "Xiaofan, what you write is different from "Notes on Tomb Robbery" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", right?"

"It's different, I'm writing about the campus, it's completely different from those! Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Sisi heard that Zhang Fan was embarrassed to ask her, and gritted her teeth and said to Zhang Fan, "You are embarrassed to ask, didn't you say before how important the adaptation rights of these two novels are to you!" I was curious to take a look, and it turned out that what was written was so scary! ”

Zhang Fan couldn't be happy after hearing Sisi's explanation, he really didn't expect Sisi to read these two novels. It's a bit scary for girls.

"Haha"

"You're still smiling"

"Okay, stop laughing, you can see how I wrote!" Zhang Fan said to Sisi with a smile.

Sisi didn't say much, looked down at the novel written by Zhang Fan, and at this time, Zhang Fan sat next to Sisi and peeled the sugar orange that the two of them had just bought. Peel one and feed Sisi one.

The novel doesn't have many words, so Sisi didn't take too long to read it.

"Xiaofan, why do I feel that the novel you wrote is so much like a movie script?"

"That's right, it's a movie script, I originally wanted to write it according to the script, but I can't do it, I can only write it like this, and then find a screenwriter to change it. How do you feel about the writing? ”

"It's really well written, it's just that Liu Wenqin is so pitiful, why did you write him to death in the end!"

"Didn't I arrange two endings, I haven't decided which one to use, which ending do you think is good!"

"I don't know, but Xiaofan, since it's a movie script, it must be you who plays Liu Wenqin, so who is Li Anran!"

Zhang Fan handed over the script to Sisi without intending to get useful advice from her.

But Sisi is right about one thing, he does want to play Liu Wenqin, and Li Anran wants Sisi to play if he can. Otherwise, the script would not have been taken out.

"It's up to the director, but you can go to the interview then"

"I still have an interview."

"Of course, the director should be Yu Feihong, and the candidate must be agreed by her, but I have a good relationship with Aunt Yu, and I will help you intercede when the time comes!"

"Xiaofan, I knew you were the best for me!"

……

The love is naturally strong in the depths, and then it's time for exercise.

The two agreed on a time to visit each other's homes before reluctantly leaving the two-bedroom apartment and returning to their home.
