"Under this setting, the more scumbag and annoying the male protagonist is in the early stage, the greater the difference will be when compared with when he exits the time loop."
Yi Li's voice was a bit loud. Even though everyone in the conference room looked at her, she turned a blind eye and continued loudly: "In order to create a more intense dramatic conflict, of course the male protagonist should be as bad as possible. It is best to be vulgar, arrogant, and ignorant.
It’s just a show.”
Luo Bing also opened his mind and added: "I saw the girl slapped the male protagonist in the story. Maybe we can create an intensive slap feast in the script."
Liu Mingren: "In the early stage, some male protagonists were also set up to commit suicide and challenge the bottom line of social morality to perfect the evil in the image of the male protagonist."
Shao Qing also mentioned: "Huadu City is too big as the background of the script. In fact, we can consider moving it to a slightly smaller town, so that the character structure will not be so complicated."
Miao Miao said with a smile: "He has to change step by step from being hated by everyone, and through practicing in the time loop, he will become loved by everyone around him. It is very interesting to think about this story."
Even Zhou Peipei raised her hands and said: "The male protagonist should have the ability not to age in the time loop."
Weng Huaijing waited for Zhou Peipei to speak before speaking slowly:
"It is best not to set the female protagonist as a stranger who has no impression of the male protagonist. It can be set up as a relationship similar to colleagues in the workplace. The contact is not deep. She has heard a lot of bad comments about the male protagonist from other people. She will
I am aware of his various bad habits and have a lot of disgust."
Yan Qing nodded in agreement and said:
"It is obviously more difficult to draw from a piece of waste paper covered with ink marks than from a piece of white paper."
Shao Qing interrupted with a smile:
"Then it would be better to design some plots in the early stage where the male protagonist can easily pick up some girls in the time loop through PUA means."
A new round of brainstorming began in the conference room:
Yili quietly discussed with the copywriters and came up with new suggestions:
"Can we set up the plot like this? The male protagonist has no intention of falling in love with the female protagonist at the beginning, but as time continues to cycle, the male protagonist discovers that the female protagonist is the only person he cannot win."
One copywriter added:
"For the heroine, he was just unwilling to fail at his failure at first. As he tried and failed repeatedly, he gradually got to know the heroine deeply, and gradually developed love, and at the same time inspired the good side of his own humanity.
.”
Yi Li took a sip of water and replied:
"He began to work hard to get rid of those bad habits. Through endless time to learn, he gradually became better. He also learned to respect love and no longer tried to take advantage of the time loop to pursue girls."
Yili spoke faster and faster:
"After studying in various aspects, this man has changed like a new life from the inside out. After the girl gets rid of her original prejudice against the male protagonist, she takes the initiative to fall in love with him."
After Yili finished speaking, she was so excited that she lost all her strength. Several girls from the planning team behind her quickly joined hands.
Weng Huaijing affirmed: "It's more dramatic this way."
Yan Qing nodded, he raised a separate stack of manuscript papers in his hand to Liu Mingren, motioned for Liu Mingren to take it, and said:
"Director Liu, please find a colleague to make copies for everyone and distribute one copy. What everyone just said is very correct. Even a lot of the content is consistent with the settings in the script framework I wrote on the manuscript paper. You guys
It’s all great.”
Except for the elegant Weng Huaijing who responded with a gaze, everyone else responded to Yan Qing with applause.
Yi Li was almost relieved: "Teacher Yan Qing, the idea of this time loop is so great. I think this script will be very exciting. I can't wait to see this movie now."
Yan Qing said with a smile: "I am also very satisfied with this setting. After I saw this story, I opened my mind like this. No matter what I do in the past two days, I can't stop thinking about this story in my mind."
, in the end, in addition to setting the framework of the script, I also wrote a simple biography of the hero and heroine.
By extension from the character stories, combined with the script framework, time loop references such as the good morning broadcast in the male protagonist's room, the changing snow scene outside the window, and the background of group portraits of small town residents, we can plan the careers of the male and female protagonists and their arrival in the small town.
town and stay for two nights.”
At this time, the head of the photography team, Mo Ran, had come back with several copies of the manuscript and distributed them to everyone.
Yan Qing continued: "You can look at the manuscript paper in hand now. My design is that the male protagonist is the host of a folklore news program on the urban life channel of a provincial capital city TV station, and occasionally goes out for interviews on location.
The female protagonist is the program producer of the male protagonist's column who has just been transferred from another column on the station.
The two of them, plus a driver and photographer, came to this small town for an on-site interview for an annual folk culture festival. They were originally scheduled to complete the interview the next day and then return to the provincial capital, but it turned out that on the second day
There was a heavy snowstorm that day and all roads leading to the outside world were temporarily closed.
So the three people and an interview car were forced to return to the town and stay for one more night. And our time loop started with the electronic clock mark on the bedside of the "Third Day" after the male protagonist was awakened by the morning broadcast in the hotel room.
The 6:00 is an infinite loop of nodes.”
"The third day is just what he thinks is the third day. In fact, the second day restarts indefinitely."
Weng Huaijing looked down at the familiar pen writing on the manuscript paper and added softly.
Yan Qing heard this whisper at the tip of his ear, and he explained to everyone:
"So I put quotation marks on the words "the third day" on the manuscript paper. Based on these settings, I determined the time when the story took place: China, the north, heavy snow.
As for the location, I looked up some distinctive folk customs, and finally saw what Meng Yuanlao, a litterateur of the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote in "Tokyo Menghua Lu":
"On the day before the beginning of spring, Kaifeng Prefecture brings spring oxen into the ban to whip the spring. In Kaifeng and Xiangfu counties, spring oxen are placed in front of the mansion. When the day comes, it is extremely early, and the officials of the government bring spring, just like the rituals of Fangzhou."
The time of the Beginning of Spring is very consistent with the time of the snow season in the north. Then I checked again and found that this custom has been passed down to this day. Every year, Zhuxian Town in Xiangfu District, Kaifeng holds a folk culture festival with the theme of Spring Cow Hunting during the Beginning of Spring. Therefore,
I set the work unit of the hero and heroine to the commercial urban channel of Zhengcheng TV Station, which is 90 kilometers away from Zhuxian Town."
Miao Miao read out a paragraph of Yan Qing's annotation on the custom of beating spring oxen on the manuscript paper:
"The spring cow is made of mulberry wood and made of soil on the day after the winter solstice. It is 4 feet tall and 8 feet long. It is painted with patterns of four o'clock, eight festivals, 360 days and 12 o'clock. On the day before the beginning of spring, people go to the ancestral hall to worship.
Colorful whips were used to whip the "spring ox" back to the farm hall, and wine and fruit were set up as offerings in the lobby. Men, women, old and young led the "ox" and helped the "plough", sang Yangge, and prayed for the auspicious snow to herald a good year."
Luo Bing looked at the content on the manuscript paper and said with a smile:
"The auspicious snow heralds a good year, and it's snowing heavily. This way, the protagonist's motivations for action and the unfolding of the plot will be reasonable."
Yan Qing: "Yes, I've been so busy these two days that I didn't have time to finish the entire script, let alone polish it. I can only try to minimize the plot holes. Fortunately, I can get it here to brainstorm with everyone.
Complete the details.”
Yan Qing himself gave an example:
"We can set it up so that although the male and female protagonists are colleagues, the heroine is a newcomer to this column. This is her first time going out for interviews, and she is full of expectations and freshness about this business trip.
But the male protagonist is tired of coming here every year for on-location interviews. The male protagonist is very picky, thinks he is a star, is weird and difficult to deal with, so the heroine books a separate hotel for him with better conditions.
Weng Huaijing understood: "The intention is to use this setting to put a certain distance between the male and female protagonists, right?"
Yan Qing confirmed Weng Huaijing's judgment with his eyes and continued to give examples:
"For example, before going to bed late at night during the first time loop, the male protagonist can break a pencil in the room and deliberately destroy the radio in the room. When the time loop strikes again, everything will be restored."
Miao Miao then came up with an idea: "The radio alarm clock that wakes up the male protagonist can play a piece of music first, and then the normal daily broadcast content, and the song played on this day in the time loop can always be the theme song of our program~"
Talent Co., Ltd."
Luo Bing's eyes lit up: "Miao Miao's linkage is very clever, I also came up with an idea.
When entering the time loop at the beginning, the male protagonist was in disbelief. Every passerby he met was just like yesterday, and every scene was as familiar as if he had experienced it before.
So after he saw the heroine, he asked her to give him a slap. We assume that the hero told some dirty jokes and teased the heroine the night before. The heroine had a bad impression of him, so the heroine gave it to the hero without thinking.
A slap."
Shao Qing smiled and said: "Luo Bing, I think you are involved in the slap matter and can't get over it.
Also, I think that to address some of the male protagonist’s character flaws, such as hypocrisy and falsehood, an elderly and sick beggar can be placed on his way from the hotel to meet the female protagonist. The male protagonist is dressed like a dog, but
When passing by a beggar, they would just pretend to take out the change and then walk quickly past.
Through this setting, some references for the transformation of the male protagonist’s personality are established.”
Yili continued some of the previous settings and blurted out a bigger idea:
"The male protagonist even calmly used his exquisite control of time to swagger and take away a box of cash from the bank's cash transport truck that was protected by live ammunition...
So, as we said before, he can use this easily obtained cash to use various PUA means to change to different girls every day, and live a luxurious life in the time loop. "
