Chapter 687 Screenwriter(1/2)

(Thanks to the book friends "Reviewing the past and understanding the heart" and "Kiss Yi Zhongzhong" for a monthly ticket and 5 recommendation votes.)

As soon as you hear this voice, you can tell that the boss and the others are playing a game again recently. This is a popular tower pushing game.

Xie Yu also played two games and was very good at it. After being taught a lesson for two games, he found it boring and stopped playing.

Seeing Xie Yu coming back, Li Dong raised his eyes and said, "Fourth, you're back!"

"Hey, I brought something back. Is it delicious?"

Xie Yu smiled and said: "It is indeed delicious!"

After saying this, Lao Dadao said: "Lao San, let's go black after class. It seems we haven't had dinner yet!"

Xie Yu said in shock: "I'm going to ask you three if you want to be so desperate. If you tell me in advance, I will bring you food."

Li Dong said: "Fourth brother, didn't you bring food?"

Xie Yu: "Haha, it counts as food, spiritual food!"

"By the way, Boss and Lao San, did your girlfriend tell you about writing a script for a scumbag?"

The third child raised his eyebrows and said: "Fourth child, I'll leave it to you, we don't have that American time, we're too busy!"

"By the way, let's get us three buckets of instant noodle mats first. I'll choose the braised beef."

"Trouble with the ribs."

“Laotan pickled cabbage!”

"Get out!", "Get out"

“Lao Tan’s pickled cabbage tastes too strong.”

"Okay, I want braised beef too."

Xie Yu, you have to serve these uncles again.



One month later.

Chu Lin called.

"Fourth Brother, how is the script going?"

Xie Yu: "It's Chinese New Year. I haven't been home for a long time. Could you please give me some peace?"

"OK"

two months later

Chu Lin: "No. 4, I have a cousin who is a child actor. He needs to be included in the script."

"Okay, but you can also write about your family..."

"Go away, write or not."

"All right!"

Xie Yu crossed out the three-act, half-complete script written by the model in his hand.

four months later

Lin Mengxi: "Fourth child, I have a relative who graduated from the acting department and is a professional actor. This person is a scumbag, and he has a scumbag temperament..."

Xie Yu: "Okay, okay, your family..."

Lin Mengxi: “It’s better to raise him than a dog.”

Xie Yu: "Okay, I'll send you the photos and resume, the same as cousin Chu Lin."

Lin Mengxi: "Okay, I've already sent it to your email. You may have forgotten to read it."

Xie Yu: "..."

The only option is to throw away the half-formed script in my hand.

"Urgent..." in May

"Urgent..." in June

The market has been good this year. It first declined and then rose. There are indeed signs of a bull market. The market has reached nearly 3,000 points. Xie Yu can increase his principal in the stock market to 20 million.

After cutting off the Yingkou Port stock, another profit of 20 million was made.

However, Xie Yu changed her previous way of buying a house and chose to buy a shop with full payment.

After signing the contract for the newly purchased store to an agency, Xie Yu posted a group message in a group labeled "Scumbag Men".

"Let's read the script around!"

Soon, there was a message reply:

"Fourth, I knew you could do it."

"That's right, Fourth Brother, you let me down."

"The sword is so thirsty!"

"Brothers, let's go!"

"I know an empty classroom, its location..."

When Xie Yu walked to the classroom with two big paper bags: "The three bosses each brought their girlfriends, and they are all waiting for Xie Yu."

Xie Yu was surprised at first and said, "Hey, why are everyone so active today?"

The third child said: "Isn't this a movie? Everyone is very motivated."

Xie Yu smiled and said: "You are so motivated, why don't you write a script?"

Boss: "It's not busy, and we know that whatever you write, Fourth, is better than mine."

Xie Yu poured out the thick script from the paper bag and said, "Because of time issues, I only typed four copies of this script."

"Watch one as a couple, it's not too much!"

"Not too much..."

"Not too much..."

Some people also whispered, why is it so thick?

But when I opened it and took a look, everyone’s voices immediately became muted.

"Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf!"

"It's actually a storyboard script!"

"This is a good comic technique. I didn't expect the fourth child to have such skills."

Hearing this, Xie Yu became more and more satisfied. After the script was written, Xie Yu tried to make a split-shot script.

The so-called split-shot script is a script that divides the literary content of the film into a series of shots that can be filmed for on-site shooting.

Generally, there are columns such as shot number, scene type, shooting technique, duration, screen content, sound, etc.

After the overall conception, the screen image that combines sound and picture to be created in the future film will be reflected in the way of split shots.

To put it simply, the director sees a script, uses his imagination to audio-visualize the text content in the script, constructs it into a picture in his mind, and then shoots the picture in his mind through a camera.

As for how to shoot, it is actually a process of dividing shots.

However, Xie Yu is just a beginner, using the stick figure technique, which can only be regarded as a sketch of the shot.

Because it was too ugly, I tried to find some painting books to practice. Unexpectedly, Xie Yu discovered that she was also quite talented in painting.

Of course, since time is short, I can only learn some comic techniques first.

Maybe in his previous life, Xie Yu was a born playwright.

About an hour later, the boss, Wei Xu, spoke first.

"Fourth, you can do it. Your story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. The man in the front kills the woman, and the woman in the back kills the man. Isn't it too simple? It's just that the scene is a little bloody and terrifying."

Xie Yu smiled and said: "Boss, with a budget of only one million, I still don't want a salary, I just want the dividends after the film is released later."

"I studied the script for half a year, plus the information collected on the Internet, to make a low-cost film, and there are ways to make a low-cost film."

"That is to have as few scenes as possible, focus on a few main scenes, and shoot as many scenes as possible in each scene, so as to save money and time."

"Based on my experience in shooting a cabin in the woods, if natural light can be used in the scene, or if there is free light, write more scenes. This can save the cost and time of lighting arrangements."

"Also, considering that the two people who recommended Chu Lin and Lin Mengxi are professional actors, I also tried to find a way to set it up as a rivalry between the two, so the plot can't be simpler. I have to save money!"

Li Dong: "We're short of money. It's okay for everyone to chip in. Why is the fourth child so embarrassed?"

Xie Yu: "I know, but since we have agreed to one million, we must follow the one million plan."

"To be honest, I also checked online and found that the 80/20 rule applies to filmmaking. More than 80% of movies will have difficulty recovering their costs."

"Especially for million-level experimental films, they are basically nothing but a splash of water."

Zheng Jiaming: "No. 4, didn't I help him sell Lin Fei's movie? Didn't he make money?"
