25. Chapter 25 Scene 25 storyboard?(1/2)
"Actually, I think so, Uncle Jin." Li Xiaole didn't wait for Jin Nan to finish his drink and looked at him and sincerely suggested: "You don't have to go to the trouble of taking the script back to revise it. One week is indeed a bit too long for us.
Otherwise, we will use the storyboard script I have prepared. Do you like it?"
"Use what you prepared..." Jin Nan showed an embarrassed expression after hesitation. How could the first draft of the storyboard script written by the students be used directly? Generally, the storyboard script of a movie, even by professional directors, needs at least 2 months of development.
It takes repeated revisions. Many of the ingenuity and creativity in the shots are the accumulation of fleeting inspiration, and most of these inspirations come from experience and tempering.
"Classmate Li, you don't think we are wasting your time on purpose, do you?" Cui Minshu next to her couldn't bear it anymore and said in a strange tone:
"Don't blame us for not reminding you. We spent this week to ask the screenwriters of the committee to help you sort out a qualified storyboard. The evaluation of the story script you submitted is indeed OK, but the storyboard is a storyboard.
If you don’t plan every storyboard sequence of the script, and you will be in a hurry when it comes to the shooting stage and try to find us, the colleagues on the committee will not have the spare time..."
Anyone who likes to watch movies will be able to casually comment on what was wonderful about the movie after watching it, what are its shortcomings, where the director used too dark lighting, and where the music is wrong. Everyone can comment.
Get out of the way.
But making a movie is like cooking. Just because you know how to eat the delicacies doesn't mean you know how to cook it. In actual practice, you will be given a crew of actors, photographers, art, lighting, etc. What to shoot first and what to shoot later
?What arrangements will be made for the venue, how will the personnel be allocated, and how long will each shot last? Even people who have been on the crew for more than ten years will immediately have a mental breakdown when dealing with these problems for the first time, let alone an inexperienced acting student like Li Xiaole.
Woolen cloth.
The function of the storyboard is to sort out these sequence logics to a certain extent, so that the shooting process can have a rough plan. Moreover, the storyboard is not only for the director to read, but more importantly for the lighting engineer, set personnel, and photographers.
Let the crew understand the director's intentions in the most intuitive way.
If the writing is not detailed and only the director himself can understand it, then the crew will definitely be in chaos.
What would be the outcome of a movie without storyboards?
The most famous director who does not use storyboards is Wong Kar-Wai. It took 2 years to shoot "In the Mood for Love" and 5 years to shoot "46". However, this is the only director like Wong in the world who does not use storyboards.
The director will only end up with a miserable ending.
Cui Minshu is completely justified in being angry now. If the filming process is not completed due to insufficient preparation, the mess will still have to be cleaned up by people from their committee. Just writing financial statements to explain will double the intensity of her work.
From this perspective, Choi Min-sook sincerely hopes to successfully film "Color is Empty".
"Don't look at Li Xiaole like this. He is a top student in our college." Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, He Zhiyuan quickly smiled and smoothed things over. She didn't understand anything, so she anxiously tapped Li Xiaole with her toes to signal him to behave better.
The high-heeled shoes were kicked so hard that Li Xiaole grinned for a while.
"I absolutely believe it." Jin Nan's cold tone revealed his insincerity. What kind of storyboard could a college student come up with? At most, he could write a messy outline.
Li Xiaole rubbed his calf and knew that the explanation would be in vain. He stood up and stood on tiptoe to take out three stacks of folders from the top of the glass bookcase next to him and placed them on the desk in front of Jin Nan. The stack was almost as big as the fifteen-inch Samsung computer monitor next to him.
Gao, picked out the red book from inside, opened it and handed it to the two of them.
"This is the storyboard I prepared. Please take a look at it..."
Although Li Xiaole looks confident on the surface, he actually doesn't have much confidence in his heart. In the past, he only participated in the simple work of revising storyboard scripts. Although this time he used the standard storyboard script format for Hollywood A-level movies to write, after all, this
It was also the first time that he completed the entire storyboard script by himself. To say he wasn't nervous would be a lie.
"Well..." Cui Minshu reached out to take it with some surprise. She only glanced at the beginning of the page and showed doubts. After looking at it for a while, she turned directly to the last page, as if she was verifying something.
He Zhiyuan was nervous and didn't dare to say anything. He couldn't help but look towards Li Xiaole and thought, what does this mean? Maybe your writing is so bad that others can't stand it...
"Is it from the first act?" Jin Nan asked Cui Minshu.
"Oh..." Cui Minshun raised her head and said with a complicated expression: "No, these... seem to be from the first minute."
"What?" Jin Nan thought his assistant had made a mistake, so he stretched out his hand to take over the pages. He looked at it with the same puzzled expression, and then turned to the last page in almost the same way as Cui Minshu just now.
After a pause, he opened his mouth slightly and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Li Xiaole. He immediately turned to the beginning again and started reading carefully. Ha Jiwon became more and more nervous.
Jin Nan held the script in his hands, and the more he read it, the bigger the question marks grew in his mind. The storyboard script in his hand seemed to be more detailed than what he had seen before, including the time track of the protagonist's dialogue, the position of the lights, and the dynamic description of the camera.
It has surpassed those Korean directors and even the storyboard scripts of the legendary director Kang Je-gyu... This extremely precise style... seems to be the handwriting of a Hollywood screenwriter.
What surprised Jin Nan even more was that there were several Greek-like lens symbols in it that he didn’t even recognize. The main reason why Jin Nan served as this assistant was because of the current textbooks on Korean film and television majors.
He participated in writing them all, and he didn’t even know them... The only explanation is that the lens symbols used by Li Xiaole are not commonly used in Korea. This is strange. The information does not mention that Li Xiaole and Ha Ji-won have no
The shooting experience was really weird.
If thick storyboard scripts are of this quality, then it will take at least three years to complete the revision. How long has this college student been preparing?
After reading these pages, Jin Nan unconsciously looked at Li Xiaole in surprise, and then stretched out his hand to Cui Minshu. Cui Minshu also took the three stacks of folders in a tacit understanding and handed them to Jin Nan in order. The more the two of them looked at each other, the more
Cui Minshu became more and more fascinated. From time to time, Cui Minshu took out a small notebook and used it to write down the scenes in the script, the people who appeared, and the evaluation of funding and time.
"What are they doing? They seem to be very excited." He Zhiyuan looked at it for a long time, then asked Li Xiaole with wide eyes and confusion: "Did you stuff money into those pieces of paper..."
"Can you guess this?" Li Xiaole said sarcastically: "It seems that you have not been hanging out in vain these past few years."
Li Xiaole smiled but was still a little worried that Jin Nan would be dissatisfied. He took out a notebook from the folder and said, "Uncle Jin, if you think I'm not prepared enough, I've also prepared a storyboard here."
"And...storyboard?" Jin Nan and Cui Minshu were stunned at the same time. They took the document and opened it. They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Is this really a storyboard? This thing is even Korean.
A-list directors only spend their energy on big productions worth more than 10 billion won, right? This student actually makes his own storyboard? This is really weird, so weird...
The so-called storyboard is to use a comic-like method to draw the scenes of the main story shot characters, and use some professional symbols to visualize it, such as the direction of the camera's operation, actor movement, etc. In the European and American industries, there is usually a
Professional storyboard director assistants are rare in the Asian film industry because they are time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Li Xiaole didn’t have any skills in painting. He used a software named Storyboard Artist which was just in the beta stage to create it. When he was working as a crew assistant in California, he worked with a big man named Timo Bekmambetov.
The perverted Russian director with a beard has been doing storyboarding for half a year and is considered a skilled worker.
After watching it for a few minutes, Jin Nan realized that there was no need to continue to be suspicious. Seeing him close the folder, Ha Zhiyuan hurried over and handed the tea cup to him: "Uncle Jin, thank you for your hard work."
"Thank you, classmate He." Jin Nan smiled.
Ha Ji-won asked earnestly: "Do you think this script works...if not, we will change it..."
"Haha." Jin Nan forced a smile and waved his hands, thinking that you were deliberately trying to embarrass me by saying this. I'm afraid it will take two or three years for the two of you to prepare for this script... He coughed twice and said:
"The writing is good, and the concept is quite mature. Although it only lasted 90 minutes, the overall time is a little insufficient for this movie. I feel that it can be used directly as a finished product. I will just add it while filming.
, Secretary Cui, what do you think?"
"Well..." Cui Minshu couldn't help but look at Li Xiaole, and suddenly she couldn't see through his details. This college student didn't seem to be a talented screenwriter. But with the facts in front of him, he could only reluctantly
He expressed his position: "If you have to use it in a hurry, just do it reluctantly. Since you think it's not a big problem, I don't have any objections here."
"Really~!" He Zhiyuan was extremely pleasantly surprised. She didn't expect it to go so smoothly. She said in a brisk tone: "That's great. I'm really sorry to trouble you." Looking at Jin Nan's smiling face, he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful in his heart.
, to be able to pass the review of these two experts so easily, how much money did Li Xiaole put in it? These two guys are really quick with their hands, and they didn't even see when they took the money... "Actually, I think so.
, Uncle Jin." Li Xiaole didn't wait for Jin Nan to finish his drink, and looked at him and sincerely suggested: "You don't have to go to the trouble of taking the script back to revise it. One week is indeed a bit too long for us, otherwise, we will use
Do you agree with the storyboard script I have prepared here?"
"Use what you prepared..." Jin Nan showed an embarrassed expression after hesitation. How could the first draft of the storyboard script written by the students be used directly? Generally, the storyboard script of a movie, even by professional directors, needs at least 2 months of development.
It takes repeated revisions. Many of the ingenuity and creativity in the shots are the accumulation of fleeting inspiration, and most of these inspirations come from experience and tempering.
