Chapter 6 Chaoying Preparations

The filming time of the decisive battle in Sky City was two and a half months, but Li Xianyun would not give Yang Yuan so much time.

After confirming that there was not much worth learning from this broken crew, Li Xianyun handed over the remaining ghosts to Xuandong, and then returned to Jiangcheng to prepare the superhero script.

Because I want to shoot fifteen in one go.,So it's also fifteen books at a time.,The amount of work is huge.。

Chaoying's script preparation began at the beginning of the year, and there were many scripts needed, and the result was that a large number of screenwriters got together.

The more people there are, the more troubles, and the result is extreme inefficiency.

You say a word and I say a word, and the argument is endless.

Seventeen or eighteen scenarios are given for one infrastructure alone.

Although Li Xianyun divided them into several groups, it was useless.

When I first started to gather together for a meeting and discussion, I was stunned for three days and didn't decide on the infrastructure.

Li Xianyun was still busy with the preparations for the Doomsday Crazy Flower, so he didn't care much, and when he looked back three days later, fuck, the world background and framework didn't come out?

What do you eat?

But he also knew that it wasn't that there were no results, but that there were too many fucking results.

But after taking these results and looking at them, Li Xianyun was not satisfied with any of them.

All fucking shit.

Yes, in Li Xianyun's eyes, these things are waste!

Of course, this is not to say that those screenwriters and directors are really incompetent, but in this area, they are really inferior to Li Xianyun.

Because what Li Xianyun is best at is making frameworks. He is not the best at writing online articles, but he is definitely the best at making an outline, a book of three million words, and Li Xianyun can write 100,000 words even with an outline in the background.

And the vast majority of authors are actually not good at making frameworks.

Many people often think of where to write, and there is no overall plan, especially for online authors, screenwriters are much better. But the screenwriter's framework attaches too much importance to the structure of film and television, and it is impossible to break away.

This time it's a general framework of fifteen series films, and they're not good at that.

You can let them do a single part, but you want one to include fifteen parts, I'll go there, I haven't done this before!

Of course, a professional screenwriter can definitely do it, and the problem is that Li Xianyun is not looking for a professional screenwriter.

And even professional screenwriters don't feel easy to do this job.

On the contrary, online writers are good at it, after all, everyone writes millions of words - they are good at large, but not fine!

As for the director, not to mention, he is often a dragger.

The most typical is Rong Dasheng.

In the original world, Li Xianyun and Rong Dasheng had a script cooperation.

That cooperation, because it was the investment of Rong Dasheng and the photographer named Geng Biao, so the two of them were in charge of the whole process, and asked Li Xianyun to help write a book.

The process of making the script was handled by Li Xianyun, Rong Dasheng and Geng Biao.

The whole script-making process was so painful that Li Xianyun doubted his life for a while, and he didn't even want to discuss the script with anyone anymore.

There's a paragraph in that book that goes like this.。

The male protagonist Xiaofei owes a sum of money to a certain underworld boss Brother B, and he happened to meet Brother B in the elevator.

The following conversation arose.

Brother B (arrogant) Hey, isn't this Xiaofei, what's wrong? Didn't you see it?

Xiaofei (helpless) Brother B is good.

Brother B (fierce) don't talk nonsense, when will you pay back the 300,000 you owe me?

Xiaofei (complaining): Didn't I just borrow 100,000 from you? It's only been three months, how can it become 300,000?

Brother B lit up a big golden gold watch Xiaofei! See what this is? Patek Philippe P, 1,380,000, what does it mean? An inch of time is an inch of gold! Do you calculate how many inches these three months have passed?

It's such a simple plot.,Its role is to explain the relationship between the male protagonist and the villain.,At the same time show the greedy face of the villain.,The last sentence is to use robber logic to sublimate the effect.。

Then Rong Dasheng thought about it and said, "I think we should put the section on showing the gold watch in the first sentence of the meeting." You see, after Brother B saw Xiao Fei, he came up and showed a big gold watch, saying, Xiao Fei, how much do you think my watch is worth? The picture is better. ”

Li Xianyun was stunned at that time.

Come up and shine the gold watch? Not even a foreshadowing?

Brother B Liang big gold watch, hey, isn't this Xiaofei, what do you think of my Patek Philippe P?

Xiaofei (helplessly) is very good.

Brother B (fierce): When will you pay back the 300,000 you owe me?

Isn't Xiaofei (complaining) 100,000 yuan? How can I borrow 200,000 interest for only three months?

Brother B (referring to the table) is 1.38 million, an inch of time and an inch of gold.

If you change it like this, it won't taste right!

But Rong Dasheng insisted on changing it, the reason is that it will light up the big gold watch when it comes up, and it has a good visual effect.

My visual effects, your sister, has the audience never seen a gold watch or what?

But Rong Dasheng and Geng Biao both insisted on changing it like this, saying that they were two to one, and even shouted that the minority obeyed the majority.

People are the ones who pull the investment, they are the leading party, and there are many people...... In these years, I don't look at the number of people who do things.

Li Xianyun couldn't resist the other party, so he had to agree.

Something like this happened many times in the whole script creation process, Li Xianyun retreated step by step, and the final turning point was that the investor withdrew his capital and stopped filming, and everyone was busy in vain, but fortunately, he got the advance payment, which was not too vain.

And at that time, Li Xianyun's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief, I finally don't have to hand over such a rubbish script under the guidance of two laymen.

But it is not right to say that Rong Dasheng is a director with no level.

Rong Dasheng is just not good at scripts, but he still has two brushes in terms of lens language, photography technology and post-editing. He just doesn't know how weak his script ability is, and his wrong perception makes him unable to play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses.

For this reason, he even invented a set of anchor theories, and the production of the script should be anchored like rivets at a few points, and it cannot be moved!

The big gold watch is his anchor, and the whole plot will revolve around this anchor!

It's fucking up.

A piece of Patek Philippe P footage as the film's core selling point!

How ignorant is the audience?

You're targeting mentally handicapped children, right?

In the original world, it took Li Xianyun two full years to make Rong Dasheng realize the fact that his script ability was insufficient, and later improved significantly. But now...... I'm sorry, but I don't have the time to guide you anymore.

What's even more fucking up is that there are quite a few directors who support his ideas!

This once gave Li Xianyun a headache, and he didn't understand why this happened, until he came into contact with more directors later, and finally reacted.

There's actually one reason why they're supporting it

They don't know how to frame at all!!

————————————

How good can a person be at justifying themselves?

It's the theory of weaving!

Rong Dasheng has the "anchor theory", Yang Yuan has the "theory that more flying is conducive to controlling the artist", Dou Lingling has her "trouble is the interest theory", Xuandong has the "black conscience boss is a good boss theory", and even that Shadi keeps saying "I accompany you to eat to give you face", making her own artists look like big names.

In the future, there will be more people who will come up with more theories of God.

It doesn't matter if I don't know how to frame, I can invent anchor theory and just mess it up.

And examples like this abound.

Even those big directors can't get out of this situation, and often try their best for a shot.

In fact, Li Xianyun didn't appear in them themselves?

Just for a surround shot, he made a fluttering and floating, which eventually led Dong Zixin to discover the truth.

The pursuit of art is a kind of attachment, which completes you and destroys you.

Because there is no set of mechanisms to determine the boundaries and good or bad of this attachment.

Everyone has the best in their minds.

Even Marvel is actually like this - they don't set all the stylistic direction and framework content from the beginning, but follow the development of the movie step by step.

This is because Marvel doesn't know which content is more popular, and the so-called funny style is also an identity that has gradually been established in the box office.

But Li Xianyun doesn't need to be like this.

This is the Internet University, and fifteen of them together are not as good as the investment of a Marvel movie.

The shooting is in place at one time, which can be regarded as a fifteen-level set of filming, which is unprecedented, and some people even joked that this is not a movie, this is a TV series.

For those high-quality TV series that cost a lot of money, the investment can also reach 10 million episodes.

But in any case, in this way of shooting, it is necessary to unify all the content and style in advance, and will not be adjusted due to the market trend.

So after three days, the series of movies couldn't even come out with a frame direction.

Seeing this situation, Li Xianyun knew that he couldn't wait for them to discuss, and the general direction had to be decided by himself.

So that day, he directly gathered everyone together and made it look like a meeting.

Li Xianyun stood in front of the stage with a loudspeaker, wrote on the blackboard, and shouted while writing

"Set the direction first, in fact, it has already been set. Doomsday, Super, Goblins! The core elements are these three points. ”

Brush brush brush write.

Li Xianyun continued, "As a brand owner, Lanyuan Group is equivalent to S.H.I.E.L.D., saving the world and ZTE wasteland, which is nothing to change. The other core elements, one, are the culprits that lead to the end of the world. Since there is an apocalypse, there must be a source, and tracing back is the solution, which is the main line of the story. Two Hero Team. Since it is fifteen movies, five core superheroes are set, each of whom is trilogy. Three divided regions, the entire wasteland world is divided into five regions, each with its own characteristics, forming different forces, abilities, cultures, habits, each region has a core super hero, plus some support. ”

"Five heroes want three men and two women, find a group of people to be villains, we have a sponsor who doesn't mind being a villain, as long as they promote their products and find some from their products, as the culprit of the original destruction of the world, it is also a key prop. Find a few more to form a set. ”

"Arrange a secret agency, a third sponsor, whose role is to thread the needle, create suspense, and make all the unconnected plots connected. It doesn't matter if it's self-contradictory, because big organizations can also have internal divisions, and this gang and that one can form contradictory behaviors, and wouldn't it be more convenient to create reversals? ”

"The first part of the personal trilogy focuses on personal growth, mainly acting in the region, and does not need to be linked with other regional heroes. The second part needs to form a linkage, and this part is the most troublesome. The third part is simple again, and they are sequels to each other. For example, after the third part of the story of hero A is finished, the follow-up story will continue to be told in hero B, so that the third part of the five heroes forms a complete story line. Therefore, the first part of the five heroes exists independently, there is no need to consider others, the second part is linked to each other, and the third part develops in stages. ”

After speaking, Li Xianyun put down the horn and yelled at everyone, "Isn't this basic framework formed?" ”

Everyone looked at each other.

This one...... Seems like that, right?

It's right to say it's right, it's not right to say it's wrong.

If there is room for improvement, there is certainly yes, but the overall architecture is in line with the existing operation.

A truly excellent framework is not a fixed story, but that the framework must be inclusive, divergent, and convergent.

For example, Li Xianyun said that there is a division within a company, in the eyes of a layman, it is so simple as internal division, in the eyes of an insider, I fuck, it is easy for me to do a reversal, I am not afraid of the story contradicting itself, because the internal division can slap yourself in the face.

Logical, reasonable.

Therefore, the content in the eyes of the layman is the method in the eyes of the insider.

The key to Li Xianyun's framework lies here, which not only defines the subject, but also gives room for change.

Of course, it's not just because the framework itself is fine, but the most important thing is that you're the boss.

The boss spoke, it's okay if it doesn't work!

So the framework that was not discussed for three days was completed under Li Xianyun's three-minute explanation.

In fact, don't look at what Li Xianyun said simply, many screenwriters and authors can't understand this thing.

has written millions of words, and when it comes to making backgrounds and outlines, it is still blank in both eyes.

No!

Fortunately, the general framework must be lowered and entered the single level, and those screenwriters are immediately easy to operate.

I don't need to think about the whole, I just need to think about the hero trilogy on my side.

So they were divided into groups again and let everyone discuss and specify the plan.

From this time on, the script of the Chaoying series can be regarded as on the fast track under the guidance of Li Xianyun.
