Chapter 89: The Final Version of the Script of "Covering the Sky".
"What now?"
Wang Fei was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Haihua City is located in the south of the Dragon Kingdom, the weather is hot, even if it is still the beginning of the year, the temperature has risen, Wang Fei was already anxious, and now he knows that the special effects are targeted by Sangua, this is urgent, and the sweat soaked a large piece of the shirt he was wearing.
"I want to think about it."
Zhang Yang is also anxious.
But he knows that it is useless to be anxious, and calm thinking is the right way.
There are only a few top special effects companies in Longguo, and the technology of other companies is a little worse, looking for these second-rate companies to do special effects for "Covering the Sky"?
Make a bunch of five-cent special effects?
And then sprayed to death by the audience!
"Covering the Sky" was a big defeat!
The good reputation he has accumulated in the hearts of the masses through the Dragon and Snake series has been ruined like this, and he will always be the name of a five-mao special effects director in the future?
Zhang Yang is scared when he thinks about it!
But now that it's here, what else can be done?
The top special effects companies in China are those, and others don't have that technology, so ......
And what about abroad?
Foreign special effects companies are not worse than domestic ones, and even surpass these companies!
"Covering the Sky" can be done by a foreign special effects company!
Yes, that's all!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang's eyes lit up: "Now that things have come to this point, there is no way to do it in China, let's find a foreign special effects company." ”
"Companies abroad?"
Wang Fei patted his thigh and said in surprise: "Yes, although I don't want to admit it, many foreign companies do better than domestic ones, since there are no domestic ones, you can find foreign ones." ”
"I'll find a way to get in touch right away."
Zhang Yang reminded him: "Well, but don't make too much noise about this matter, I'm afraid that Sangua will know the news and make a black hand." ”
"Don't worry."
Wang Fei said regretfully: "It's just that the thought of giving so much money to foreign companies makes me a little unhappy." ”
Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "For the time being, this is the best way." ”
"However, when it comes to making a movie, special effects are the last step.
We shoot first, then cut after shooting, and then do special effects after cutting.
It will take some time in the middle, and if something else happens, as long as the contract is not signed, it will be too late to find the domestic side. ”
(I know that the shooting time is very short, but because of the fact that the melon skin will divide resources in the past, it can't be delayed for a long time to determine the result, right?) So the time is set like this for the time being. )
......
......
The matter of the special effects company is decided so for the time being.
The two went back upstairs.
Wang Fei went to find a way to contact foreign special effects companies and did not mention it.
Zhang Yang came to the screenwriting department.
After a round of expansion, the screenwriting department has long been strong, and it is no longer the time when there were two or three big cats and kittens before, and they still need to support the manpower.
The current screenwriting department is headed by Li Xiaoqiang, and there are more than 20 people below.
Generally speaking.
The screenwriter of a movie has one person, two people, and many people combined.
In the past, Dragon Snake 1 was all Li Xiaoqiang working hard alone, staying up late every day, and he was so tired that his hair fell out a lot.
Later, Dragon Snake 2 was written by Li Xiaoqiang with the support of the voice.
And now, the script of "Covering the Sky".
It is Zhang Yang who sets the direction requirements, Li Xiaoqiang is responsible for the framework and plot direction, and other screenwriters will fill in the specific plot after discussion.
In the end, Li Xiaoqiang reviewed it and felt that it met Zhang Yang's requirements, and then handed it over to Zhang Yang for decision.
After the previous first version of the script was played, Li Xiaoqiang took the people from the screenwriting department to stay up for a few days, and finally changed a new script today.
Zhang Yang came to the screenwriting department to read the latest script.
As soon as I opened the door of the screenwriting department.
I saw a group of people sitting together talking about the plot.
"I think it's perfectly okay to delete this part."
"The movie is not as detailed as the TV series, and these people do not affect the main plot, so delete it."
"I support it too. The original work starts from the earth to returns to the earth, and this part of the content is many and miscellaneous, and it is completely feasible to make many unnecessary cuts. ”
"Mr. Li, let me give you an opinion, do you want to add another female character and a little emotional dispute between the male protagonist? It's a little more dramatic! And now there are similar plots in many movies. ”
Li Xiaoqiang roared suddenly, and the ceiling seemed to be shaken to dust and fall down.
"Drama? Believe it or not, I turn you into a comedy! ”
"I've long been ordered, I'm not allowed to change the character design, add the plot randomly, are you deaf? Then you quit! ”
......
This is the scene that Zhang Yang saw when he pushed open the door.
"Mr. Zhang, you're here, sit down."
Li Xiaoqiang, who was still in a state of rage just now, turned anger into joy on his face.
waved his hand to disperse, and he led Zhang Yang into his office.
After sitting down, I made him hot tea before handing him the newly revised script.
"You don't have to stand, you can sit too."
After taking the script, Zhang Yang found that Li Xiaoqiang was still standing there respectfully, not at all the angry look he saw when he first entered the door, but he was very honest and honest.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
Hearing him speak, Li Xiaoqiang sat down on the side.
This is not fear, but his respect and gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
"You."
Zhang Yang sighed, shook his head, and saw that he sat down, and didn't say anything more.
He's used to it.
When handing over work, Li Xiaoqiang usually stands, unless he is asked to sit down, otherwise he will stand until the handover is completed.
Flipping through the newly improved script, Zhang Yang looks serious.
There are some subtle differences between this version of the script and the first version.
Some of the characters in the side plots that rarely appear in the original work and do not affect the main plot have been deleted, and some scenes of the heroine Ji Ziyue have been added, and some line descriptions of the cultivation realm have been added.
This is to avoid the appearance of a character who is obviously still a weak chicken like in some fantasy dramas now, and has to mix in the battle between several big masters.
Although he was defeated in the end, he still greatly lost some of his time.
A plot like this feels nothing in the eyes of ordinary audiences, and it is even a plus in the eyes of screenwriters, but in the eyes of people like Zhang Yang, who have read all over fantasy novels, it is simply poisonous!
The character of the original one-trick second, does it make sense to let him top for a few minutes?
Similar plots in the sky are never allowed!
There is also the kind of plot where I hold it in my arms and say it for a long time when I am dying, and the villain boss is invisible next to me!
In addition to these, some explanations have also been added to some secret techniques, Taoist scriptures, magic weapons, and out-of-phase appearances that appear in the play.
After all, there are still a large number of audiences who have not been exposed to fantasy culture, and through these things, they can learn more about "Covering the Sky".
......
It's close to the end of work.
Zhang Yang finally read the whole script roughly.
Mainly after reading the previous first edition, he was not satisfied with it.
Li Xiaoqiang has already changed these places.
Overall, the script of "Covering the Sky 1 - A Trip to the Beidou" has been polished.
"Yes, hard work, Xiaoqiang."
Zhang Yang stretched.
"This one can be considered final, and there is no need to revise it."
"Go back and print a few more copies of it, hand it over to Secretary Lin, and ask her to send it to the heads of various departments, so that everyone can watch it, and all the filming work of the movie will be carried out according to this version."
"Got it."
Li Xiaoqiang respectfully responded.
"Okay." Zhang Yang looked at the time: "Then let's get off work." ”
The two walked out of the office of the screenwriting department together.
Before going out, Zhang Yang remembered the scene he saw before entering the door.
"Before, you refuted the screenwriter who wanted to add roles and emotional disputes, and you did a good job."
"I've said it many times, when I'm filming, I have to be loyal to the original work and not adapt it randomly."
"I'm sure you've said it many times, but he still knowingly did it, and my advice is ......"
"Let him leave."
"In Xuanyu, there is no need for this kind of screenwriter."
He patted Li Xiaoqiang on the shoulder, then turned around and left the screenwriting department.
