After having breakfast at the small villa, Chu Xuan drove out of the community with Liu Yifei in his car.
There are a lot of things going on this year. There are variety shows to be aired, "Nirvana in Fire" that is scheduled to be filmed, a movie with Cheng Long, a science fiction project including screenwriting, film and television industrialization, and an investment platform.
Except for the fact that the variety show is currently undergoing post-editing and does not require their attention, the rest of the things are currently in the early stages of preparation and are closely related to them.
Liu Yifei was going to the United States in a few days. Chu Xuan wanted to prevent her from worrying too much about things here after she got there, so he decided to give as many accurate answers to these matters as possible in the days before leaving.
, so that Liu Yifei can feel at ease and not disturb her living conditions there.
"Next, let me tell you a little point..."
The young couple came to the Bright Times Film and Television Company and wanted to ask Liu Yi about the situation of "Nirvana in Fire". When they passed by the conference room, they heard Liu Yi's voice coming from the conference room.
The door of the conference room was closed tightly, and the sound coming out was a little weak, but they happened to hear it as they were passing by.
Chu Xuan stopped and gently opened the back door of the conference room. As the door was opened, Liu Yi's voice through the microphone suddenly became louder: "Although it is a small point, it is very important and something you must master.
of."
Liu Yi, who was giving a lecture, met Chu Xuan's eyes at the crack of the back door.
The people in the conference room turned to look. Chu Xuan pulled Liu Yifei in quickly, closed the door gently with his backhand, and sat down in the back row.
Seeing Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei sneaking in to listen to the class, everyone smiled slightly. After the young couple waved slightly, everyone turned their heads back one after another.
Seeing the two sneaking in, Liu Yi felt interesting. When he saw the young couple sitting down, he continued: "In addition to a few screenwriter friends, there are people who write online novels, some who write program copy, and some who write press releases.
."
He glanced at everyone and said, "The writing is very good."
"But." He paused, stretched out a finger and tapped casually: "You two have one thing in common. When describing events, especially when describing scenes, you all like to use idioms."
Everyone raised their eyebrows, what's wrong with using idioms? Isn't it right?
Hearing Liu Yi's obviously negative tone, everyone was filled with doubts and continued to listen.
Facing the confused looks of everyone, Liu Yi calmed down his thoughts, glanced at a few people present, and said: "I have read the works of several friends who write online novels, and I will use some of them to give an example.
."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Yi tapped the keyboard and entered an idiom "thunder and thunder" into the document, saying: "Fantasy novels, fairy novels, this idiom is used too much. When I scanned the book, I basically entered it in every book
I’ve seen it in books.”
He raised his head and said, "And he used a lot of gorgeous idioms to form sentences to describe the scene."
He spread his hands and said, "Think about it for yourselves. Although using idioms can give people a sense of culture, do idioms definitely have a sense of pictures?"
Everyone was slightly stunned. It turned out that Liu Yi was referring to the sense of painting. Then they thought thoughtfully and understood what Liu Yi meant by the sense of painting.
"Thunder." Liu Yi reached out and pointed at the curtain behind him: "You can think about it now, what exactly does this idiom represent?"
The people present thought about it for a moment, and then shook their heads.
This type of idiom is too abstract and the scene it represents is very vague. It is impossible to visualize a specific picture in the mind just from this idiom.
"Details are missing." A famous screenwriter bluntly said the key point.
"Yes." Liu Yi nodded: "Show the scene description that covers this idiom to the director, and the director will help you figure it out; show it to the special effects technicians, and they will definitely be confused."
"They will think, what the hell is this thunderous scene?"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard him complain like this.
"We have to expand and write out the details." Liu Yi typed on the keyboard and demonstrated in person.
[The sky at noon was dark and covered with dark clouds.
The black and gray clouds were like a precursor to the arrival of a tornado, spinning in the sky, forming an eye in the center like the entrance to an abyss.
The eye of the wind kept spitting out thunder and lightning that looked like snakes and apricots. In the eyes of people on the ground, the size of the thunder and lightning seemed to be only a millimeter.
In an instant, the thunder and lightning in the eye of the wind spread to all sides, and the dark clouds seemed to be see-through. The dark blue electric light suddenly flashed and disappeared in an instant. This cycle was terrifying.
Suddenly, there was a "click" of thunder, which almost broke people's ears.
Under countless horrified eyes, with the eye of the wind as the center, the boundless sky dances with it, one, two, three... Thousands of thunder and lightning, like a basin of water sprinkled in a dustpan, with countless water columns spaced apart from each other.
It leaks out from the cracks in the bamboo dustpan, giving people a sense of nowhere to escape.】
After writing this, Liu Yi raised his head: "In my imagination, this is thunder and lightning. I need to expand the idiom and write as many details as I can. If it is difficult to explain, then use common things in daily life."
simile."
"At the very least, give my description to the director, and the director will immediately have a sense of the scene; give it to the special effects technicians, and they will know how to do the special effects at a glance."
Listening to Liu Yi's words and looking at the examples Liu Yi wrote, many people seemed to have been inspired and looked like they had benefited a lot.
Even those who were screenwriters felt that they had learned something.
"Teacher Liu's control over the details is amazing. From the initial state of lightning, to the changes in the environment, and finally to the fall of lightning, the size and shape are all depicted. The big scene of lightning is metaphorized by a basin of water sprinkled on a dustpan.
It has become a state of large-scale water leakage, which is very picturesque." Someone said in admiration.
"With such detailed control over scenes and plots, it will be much easier for the people in the special effects team." Someone said.
"Of course, you can picture the special effects at a glance, which will reduce a lot of communication costs." Someone nodded.
"Everyone, take a break and continue talking later." Liu Yi stood up and walked towards the back.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei suddenly sneaked in. They must have something to do with him, otherwise they would have called in advance to say hello.
“Teacher Liu’s lecture is really good and I’ve benefited a lot from it.”
"Come on, I told you this when I was coordinating the script of "Zhu Xian", and you have benefited a lot..."
Liu Yi, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei came out of the back door. Hearing Chu Xuan's joke, Liu Yi couldn't help laughing.
"What, is something wrong?"
"How is "Nirvana in Fire" going?"
Hearing that Chu Xuan's purpose was this, Liu Yi smiled and said, "You are so anxious that you want to film a movie?"
Chu Xuan glanced at Liu Yifei and said to Liu Yifei: "She is going to the United States in a few days to prepare for further study. If there is anything that needs to be discussed, try to discuss it within these few days."
Liu Yi nodded and understood the reason why Chu Xuan asked about the situation of "Nirvana in Fire".
He also knew that Liu Yifei was going to study further. He had occasionally talked about this topic when we were on the set, but he didn't expect that she would be leaving in a few days so soon.
"Last night I told the people in the project department my idea and adapted it according to the idea of our heroine. There is no problem with the project department. When I finish the training this week, Lao Ye and the others will take over the training.
, I will start working on the script with Lao Kong."
Liu Yi looked at the young couple and said: "If you have no objection to the idea of a heroine, then there is nothing to discuss. As the chief screenwriter, I at least deserve your trust. I will create it tailor-made."
It sounds like a joke, but Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are still very relieved. They have collaborated so many times, and the screenwriter who knows them best is definitely Liu Yi.
"Don't worry, Sissi, go ahead and prepare for further study. Once the script and preliminary work are done, I'll let you know. You can just come over and shoot." Liu Yi said.
Liu Yifei showed her face and said, "Brother Liu, thank you for your hard work."
The two parties said goodbye and the young couple left the company.
After receiving clear information, their purpose of coming this time was achieved.
Originally, Kong Sheng also proposed that they be producers. Both parties are very familiar with each other, and they have an acquaintance who is also the boss as a producer. Kong Sheng, the director, is expected to have many projects progressing smoothly.
But Liu Yifei had to prepare for further studies, and he had too many things to do this year and had no time to be busy with production matters. In the end, the producer fell on Director Li Xue.
With Li Xue as the producer, Kong Sheng as the director, and Liu Yi as the chief screenwriter, and since it is a drama between him and Liu Yifei, the company will naturally be very cooperative.
I just heard Liu Yi say that the project for "Nirvana in Fire" is basically confirmed, so he and Liu Yifei are completely relieved about this matter, and they don't need to pay attention to it before filming starts.
After the young couple returned home, Chu Xuan called Tang Jili and asked him about the sci-fi action movie. Tang Jili replied that it would take some time, so the young couple turned their attention to the web game platform.
superior.
"Mr. Chu, Mr. Liu."
"Mr. Zhao."
The next day, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei came to the platform company located in Xinlang Building and greeted Mr. Zhao, the oncoming project director.
Liu Yifei will still feel palpitations when she hears the title "Mr. Liu" again. It still takes time to adapt to this change in status.
“How is the recruitment going?”
"With high benefits, recruitment is not difficult, it just takes some time."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei walked side by side with Mr. Zhao. When they heard Mr. Zhao's answer, they nodded.
At present, the demand analysis and hardware equipment of the web game platform have been completed, but a large number of technical personnel are needed to develop various modules of the website.
After the technical personnel in each position are in place, the demand analysis will be released to each technical team as needed, and the development of the website can be started smoothly.
It’s just that there is a severe shortage of talents in the domestic IT industry today. Although there are high benefits in recruiting technical personnel, it is also necessary to recruit some people from other companies.
They don't need to worry about this kind of thing, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Mr. Zhao said it would take some time, and they understood.
"Is this a website?" Liu Yifei was attracted by the "website" on the computer and walked over.
"Mr. Liu, this is just a floor plan, the planning structure of a website made in the past two days." Mr. Zhao followed and explained.
Chu Xuan came to Liu Yifei's side, stretched out his left hand to hold the back of the chair, looked at the floor plan on the computer, and said: "Okay, it should be as simple as this, don't make it complicated, so that users will not understand it when they come in."
Mr. Zhao nodded slightly and said: "According to Mr. Chu's idea, we will put the best-selling game list in the first row area, the game popularity list in the second row area, and all the games in the big area below."
The best-selling list is ranked based on the average daily recharge, and the popularity list is ranked based on the average daily activity of the game. This layout is also conducive to giving users a preliminary understanding of each game on the platform.
Mr. Zhao pointed out: "The other functions of the platform are at the top of the website. Users can see them as soon as they come in. There will be explanations for each function when they click on it."
"This is good." Liu Yifei approved Mr. Zhao's design. Her eyes moved to the right on the computer screen: "What is that small blank area for?"
Mr. Zhao followed her gaze and said, "That area is a tentative reserved area. The main reason is that the cooperation between the company and Alipay has not yet started, and we are not yet able to accurately predict some of Chu Xuan and Mr. Liu's ideas."
position."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded slowly. They had not yet mentioned their cooperation with Alipay, so naturally they did not have an accurate answer to what they had imagined in advance.
"If the cooperation is confirmed," Mr. Zhao said, "According to Chu Xuan and Mr. Liu's vision, under our arrangement, this area will include Taobao coupons, recharge discount coupons, recharge coupons, etc. to attract users.
functional module."
Mr. Zhao also explained: “The reason why these functions are not unified in the top functional area is that I think Mr. Chu and Mr. Liu’s idea and creativity of combining coupons with games is really good and the most attractive.
It’s something for users, so putting it on the homepage is more eye-catching.”
"This is good." Chu Xuan was quite satisfied with the planning of this website.
Hearing this, Mr. Zhao turned his head and looked at Chu Xuan: "I just want to see Mr. Chu to see this plan. Since Mr. Chu is satisfied, will the subsequent website development and design be based on this?"
Chu Xuan looked at Liu Yifei, as if asking her if she had any opinion.
Liu Yifei blinked, "You want me to decide on such a small matter?"
This inevitably reminded her that when Chu Xuan started Micro Entertainment, she was asked to start the Micro Entertainment Farm in order to let her participate and move forward together with Chu Xuan.
Hey, why is my boyfriend so delicate about relationships?
Hey, you still love me too much. What should I do if you leave in a few days?
"That's good, just do it this way." She replied.
"That's it." Chu Xuan said to Mr. Zhao.
"Okay." Mr. Zhao nodded.
The young couple followed Mr. Zhao around the company. Some of the new employees were extremely surprised to see Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
The young couple greeted the staff, signed their names, took a group photo, and left the company.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are responsible for controlling the construction of the website. Now that the framework and style of the website have been determined, all that is left is for Mr. Zhao and others to carry it out step by step. They will have much less to worry about, and after the website is developed
Regarding foreign cooperation matters, it is up to Mr. Cao.
After returning home from the platform company, the two stayed at home for a few days without going anywhere.
According to Liu Yifei, in the past few days before going to the United States, she should spend time at home as a souvenir before leaving.
Liu Yifei wanted to stay at home, so Chu Xuan naturally accompanied her.
A few days have passed, and there is still no specific idea for the sci-fi action in Tang Ji. It lacks some key story settings and still needs time to figure out.
Although the young couple felt regretful, they could not confirm the matter before leaving.
But they also understand that originality is not as good as adaptation.
Adaptation at least has the original work to draw from, but originality really requires imagination and creativity to imagine and design.
In such a situation, if you have inspiration, you can have anything, but if you don't have inspiration, you will never be able to think of anything.
They didn't know when Tang Jili would be able to come up with a complete story, so Chu Xuan could only communicate with Liu Yifei about the specific situation by phone or online.
——March 10, the day before Liu Yifei left for the United States.
On the rooftop of the large villa, the morning sun was shining brightly.
Chu Xuan was sitting on a bench basking in the sun, reading a book in his hand.
Liu Yifei was lying on Chu Xuan's lap, playing a small game on her mobile phone.
There are two cups of morning tea on the table, accompanied by the sunshine and the warm scene of the young couple, which is full of comfort.
Suddenly, a mobile phone on the desktop vibrated, followed by the ringtone of Wang Xinling's "When You".
【“When your eyes are narrowed and you smile,
When you drink Coke and when you make noise..."]
Liu Yifei took the phone and connected it, but the ringing stopped suddenly.
"Mother."
"Okay, I'll come down."
Liu Yifei hung up the phone, stood up from Chu Xuan's lap, lowered her legs from the chair, put her white bare feet into purple patterned slippers: "Xinlang media is here, I want to go down and do an exclusive interview."
Chu Xuan closed the book and took it in his hand. He and Liu Yifei each picked up a cup of tea, and immediately the two of them walked downstairs.
