Chapter 45: Joke about the script, finalize the drama "Immortal Rebellion"
ps: Thank you for the reward from the book friend "Mo Zhaoyu"!
ββββThe following textββββ
Sure enough, with Su Qing's arrogant response, this interview was in the headlines of major forums the next day!
I've seen someone who dares to speak, but I've never seen someone who dares to speak so much!
I've seen arrogance, I've never seen such arrogance!
It's no longer just about one person, it's attacking a whole and challenging the existing rules of Fairy Shadow. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
What the hell is the beauty of the shots?Why should the editing have a sense of rhythm?What is the plot structure?Is it a good story that is detached from reality?
What Su Qing looked unbearable tolerated was, in the eyes of many directors of the Immortal Realm, something unbelievable.
Therefore, Su Qing's interview is considered by more and more people to be grandstanding!
Major websites and countless forums have started a wave of crusade against Su Qing, even with the performance of the previous two literary meetings, they still treat Su Qingbian as worthless.
In the face of such a loud attack, Rao Youyou has a big force like the Fang family of the Southern Regions and the Qianyuan Immortal Sect to speak out, calling on everyone to calm down, but it is still to no avail.
Director Zhang Zhian came out at this time, rubbing Su Qing's popularity, declaring that he would officially accept the challenge from Su Qing, and said that Su Qing's interview was an insult to himself and all fairy film directors, and he would definitely prove that "The Story I Have to Tell with Senior Brother Zhang" must be the best fairy film!
The popularity came down, causing the box office of this fairy film to skyrocket in the next few days, as if it had broken through the 70 million mark.
Zhang Zhian is worthy of being an old driver, and he is very able to seize the opportunity, even a fairy film of this level can mobilize the enthusiasm of some people, as if it has the momentum of hitting the box office of over 100 million.
You must know that this is not a fairy shadow of a big director, but just a third-rate director.
Ah no, it should be called a second-rate director now.
If there were directors who were promoted to the rank in the past, they were destined to be questioned by the entire circle, but now under the influence of the whole general trend, not only did they not make it difficult for Zhang Zhi'an, but even the predecessors of the fairy film director stood up to endorse Zhang Zhi'an.
Many directors are united, in order to punish a hairy boy who "doesn't know the height of the sky".
The disturbances of the outside world, after that interview, have been completely left behind by Su Qing.
The matter of filming the fairy shadow needs to be put on the agenda, otherwise when the heat passes, after everyone's impression of Su Qing is fixed, this hype will be counterproductive.
The three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first.
Preparing to shoot Fairy Shadow, the first thing Su Qing needs to prepare is the script.
When preparing to select materials, Su Qing fell into a tangle.
There are too many good movies in the previous life, and Su Qing doesn't know which one to choose, but because most of the movies in the previous life are about ordinary life, and people are warm and cold; Although Zhang Zhi'an's level is not good, he still has the ability to stick to the main theme of the righteous path, and he is good at sycophancy, so as long as Su Qing chooses another type to avoid fighting, he has almost lost half of it.
You must choose the theme of Xianxia!
Then this involves a very embarrassing thing, as the origin of the Xianxia theme, there were no excellent Xianxia-themed movies in China in the previous life that could be regarded as good movies.
First, it is limited by special effects, and domestic five-cent special effects...... Hehe.
Both are limited by the play.
Domestic Xianxia film and television works, well, include TV series, there are very few original themes, most of them are adapted from novels, or games.
Don't mention the game, just talk about the novel adaptation.
Xianxia novels, starting from the five million words of the ancestor level "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman", to the prevalence of online texts, all kinds of Xianxia cultivation texts, often millions of words, grand length, even though the story told is wonderful, but I have to say that if you want to change Xianxia works into movies, presenting an hour and a half, or a two-hour story, then it is necessary to cut the whole story.
If you choose a part to shoot, then the question is, which part to choose, and how many parts of the whole story are best cut into?
Even if you divide the paragraphs well, you will inevitably encounter one of the most criticized links.
Adaptation of the original storyline.
In fact, this is an inevitable process of adapting a novel into a film and television drama, and the author is not a screenwriter, so a good-looking novel is not necessarily the same as a wonderful script; a novel has the rhythm of a novel, and the script has the structure of a script.
Rubbing the plot of the novel into the structure of the script, some points that were particularly cool when reading the book at that time will become particularly eye-catching.
So good, change.
After the change, when it is screened, it will be abused by the original party: Damn, why did such and such a plot change like this?
Or simply directly: This actor is not like the so-and-so I imagined!
......
All kinds of things, in fact, if the script is not changed, many works will be more awkward after being filmed according to the original book.
The original book and the script are irreconcilable in many cases.
It is true that many bad movies are just screenwriters who write scripts without brains, but this fundamental contradiction is also an objective constraint.
And this contradiction is often more amplified in the adaptation of fantasy fairy tales.
A punch shattered a starry sky, and the two of them collapsed a world.
Such a grand scene may be written by the author as a matter of lighting a cigarette, making a cup of tea, and tapping on the keyboard for hours.
But when you put it on a movie, you need to stretch one second of footage into 24 frames, and then make special effects one by one.
Even the most ordinary special effects team mostly charges by the number of frames, even if a frame of special effects only costs one yuan, then assuming that the film lasts for 90 minutes, the cost is as high as 129,600 soft girl coins. Not to mention inviting those top international special effects teams.
And once the original book is divided, it is bound to be made into a series of movies, and special effects movies still burn money, which is destined to be a huge investment and a long-term business for investors.
Unlike foreign series of movies, they all decide whether to start the next one after the previous one is released, and then go to ponder the script.
And the series of Xianxia movies, after the plan comes out, it is a plan to say less about six or seven films, each of which is often hundreds of millions, before the investment, no one can guarantee a box office hit, even if the first one attracts a lot of box office because of the original gimmick, but if it is not well received, the box office will inevitably be affected.
For businessmen, it seems that in the current environment, it is a bit of a loss to do such a business, and it is extremely tempting to have the adaptation rights of such a large fan benefit.
So in his previous life, Su Qing had seen all kinds of crazy sales of the copyrights of those great gods, but it was difficult to see the information about the filming.
In my previous life, I don't know how many book fans have discussed such a topic in major forums, if a certain book is filmed, who will play so-and-so, what to use in the ending song, and even list the cast and crew in their minds.
As a result, many masterpieces of film and television dramas have become lifetime series.
......
In short, when it comes to the Xianxia adaptation in his previous life, Su Qing is full of sadness, especially as a street writer and movie lover, this is simply a big regret before he crosses over.
Finally such an opportunity!
In his previous life, Su Qing had imagined countless opportunities, and he could finally be led by himself!
Su Qing was very excited, and without even the slightest hesitation, he opened the [Xianyu Mall], found the entertainment area, and bought a Xianxia masterpiece from his previous life - "Immortal Rebellion"!
Yes!
"Immortal Rebellion"!
This is not only an excellent masterpiece, but even in Su Qing's opinion, it is also the most suitable work to change the movie!
At least the beginning of the book magically fits the structure of the script.
Starting, bearing, turning, and closing.
That's the basic structure of the playbook.
The beginning is the beginning, a strict script, often at the beginning of an unexpected event, bringing the audience's attention into the world set by the screenwriter, throwing out the worldview, and bringing the main characters of the story into the audience's sight, and even in the best works, the characters of the main characters can be shown through this opening event.
Cheng is the development of things, because of the emergence of the previous event, the main characters of the story begin to have a purpose, and need to do something for some reason. The whole part of "inheritance" is the process of the protagonist constantly moving towards the goal, and the end of "inheritance" often represents that the protagonist is about to achieve his goal, which is the so-called plot climax.
After that, things are not so smooth sailing, and the sudden change makes the protagonist's team plummet, the foreshadowing buried in the interrupted time, or the appearance of the ignored villain, all kinds of ravages on the protagonist, the general environment plummets, and everything pushes the protagonist to a desperate situation.
Wait for the last part, "together", the protagonist bottoms out, after realizing a series of chicken soup for the soul, he chooses the small universe to explode, at this moment, the protagonist's aura is reopened, and the major supporting roles follow the protagonist every second and second air, and the villain is often a fast gunner, and the previous ferocity in this time period, it fades into a war scum;
Of course, most of the movies are the process of starting, bearing, turning, inheriting, turning, and combining to make the story more tortuous.
That's how it began to be!
From the beginning of the first volume to the beginning of the third volume, the protagonist Wang Lin married Dan, which perfectly fits the script structure of the beginning and the end!
At the beginning, when he first entered the sect, he got the mysterious beads, and until the end of the sect, the whole first volume can be condensed into the beginning events, bringing out the world view, as well as the protagonist and the big supporting role of Situ Nan.
After that, the protagonist has been traveling, during which he even killed all kinds of passers-by, with the help of Situ Nan, he was promoted to build a foundation, and then approached the extraterritorial battlefield, and was about to plan to promote to a higher realm, and continued to advance towards his goal of cultivating immortals, which is the "inheritance" in the script.
When it comes to the "turn", the family is exterminated, and the protagonist is even seriously injured by the villain, escapes into the extraterritorial battlefield, and starts another opportunity, living to death, and finally awakening the soul-devouring physique and bottoming out.
The final "He" is the end, the protagonist appears in a foreign country, and finally travels to the Sea of Cultivating Demons, and gets the opportunity to be promoted to the Dan period, and the purpose of his cultivation of immortals and continuous promotion to the realm is constantly being completed, but what awaits the protagonist is that there is a deep hatred in the sea of blood, and a wider world.
Not only is the structure of the script complete, but it can also dig holes and leave foreshadowing for the filming of the next film.
In his previous life, Su Qing always thought that this was the most suitable masterpiece for change, but he didn't expect that traversing the Great World of the Immortal Realm would really allow him to get such an opportunity!
It's a fairy rebellion!
Moreover, the classic sentences in this masterpiece in the previous life, Su Qing also believed that it was bound to shock the immortal monks!
"My left hand is the short-lived cause and effect of cultivating demons overseas, and in my right hand is a hundred years of long solitude. β
"This rain, born in the sky, died on the earth. The process in between is life. I look at the rain, not at the sky, not at the earth, nor at the rain. It's a lifetime of this rain. β
"Obey is ordinary, reverse is immortal, only in the heart of a thought......"
......
Su Qing opened Bai Yu Ruyi and prepared to personally manipulate the script and change the script!
[Ding!The host triggers the main quest: the year of life; to turn the series of past lives into reality, the host needs to get the results it deserves, task requirements: The first fairy shadow adapted from "Immortal Rebellion", after the release, it shall not be less than 100 million spirit stones at the box office; task rewards: special exercise "Burning Recipe", refining skill simulator. Special note: If the box office exceeds one billion spirit stones, the host will receive a special reward from the system.
Su Qing slapped his thigh and fought hard!

ps: This chapter of the old cat is mixed with a lot of private goods, just from the perspective of a fan who studies screenwriting, purely personal opinion, don't spray if you don't like it.
Of course, some movies are not based on this routine, just the basic structure, but the research understands that the beginning and the end are not copied, and the cinema movies dare not say it, and it is still possible to write a script for an online drama or a big online movie......
