Chapter 493 You actually want your girlfriend to become a beggar!
Beijing.
Under the neon-lit night, the nanny car drove through the busy avenue.
On the sofa in the nanny's car, Chu Xuan looked down at the cell phone in his hand, hung up the call with a beep, and had an interesting smile on his face.
"You guys are so funny." Wang Jinhua looked cute as she sat across from him. She had heard all the conversation between the two of them just now. In the end, they were able to argue over a trivial matter like washing clothes. This was really interesting.
Chu Xuan smiled and said nothing, put away his mobile phone and crossed his legs, leaning against the window to look at the bustling night scene outside.
Thinking back to the phone call with Liu Yifei just now, the fact that they live in two places and are thousands of miles apart makes their communication style gradually become like a happy enemy.
Although he and Liu Yifei were separated for a long time and missed each other deeply, this kind of communication situation also made both parties feel more fun.
"It's quite interesting." He was secretly pleased.
Seeing Chu Xuan's appearance, Wang Jinhua's thoughts probably drifted to America again. This young man in love just couldn't be separated. Once separated, he thought about it every day.
Wang Jinhua shook her head in amusement, looked at Chu Xuan with the eyes of an elder, and smiled like an aunt at the corner of her mouth.
The next moment, she thought back to today's dinner, and seemed to think of something, so she couldn't help but ask: "When Chenglong was speaking at the end, I saw that you had something to say, what were your thoughts?"
Hearing this, Chu Xuan was slightly startled.
Regarding this science fiction movie, everyone showed a strong interest in the meal, so we were able to eat from noon to now at night.
When we talk about interesting topics, we tend to get more and more excited the more we talk, not to mention if we drink some wine, it will only make us more excited.
When the show was just about to end, Chenglong probably felt something and said something from his heart, as well as some suggestions.
"Everyone in China wants to go to Hollywood."
"However, no matter how famous Chinese actors are in China, if they are lucky enough to go to Hollywood, they will only play supporting roles, or even supporting roles without many lines."
"Li Lianjie and I were just lucky. We borrowed Li Xiaolong's guidance. They happened to need Chinese Kung Fu. After Li Xiaolong was at peace, Li Lianjie and I caught up with him at the right time and started Kung Fu again.
The prologue.”
"That's all."
"In addition, Chinese actors go to Hollywood to play leading roles? This will never be possible in the future, and this situation will not change."
"Unless America ceases to exist, unless America has no capital, unless Hollywood is destroyed and starts over."
Chenglong felt a little lonely when he said these words. In his heart, he had always hoped that more Chinese actors would go abroad, so that more people would know and understand China.
But he has already seen clearly the situation in Europe, America and Hollywood after more than ten years of hard work. His wish may be hopeless in this life.
"Even if this is the case, we can't keep fighting in the nest. It's so boring."
"Lao Tang just revealed the concept of this series of movies, which gave me a preliminary idea."
"If this is a series of movies, then I will take Xuanzi and Xixi in the first one, change them with two new faces in the second one, change them again in the third one, and change them again in the fourth one..."
"Everyone knows that as long as a series of movies becomes popular, its popularity will be long-lasting and emotional."
"Hot and emotional go hand in hand, so can the protagonist members of each film have a certain degree of popularity overseas? Can they become popular internationally?"
"I think it's possible."
"This situation is equivalent to the fact that actors in our country do not need the film and television resources of Hollywood. They only need to rely on our own film and television resources to achieve international effects."
"Prevent our people from going to Hollywood and groveling with their hot faces against their cold butts. It's too vulgar. I feel bad every time I see this kind of scene. I believe you will feel the same way."
"Everyone here, think about it? Mr. Du, you Yinghuang have overseas resources, not to mention China Film Group, and Bright Times is not short of money. Even if you fail once or twice, there is no loss. If you are willing to try in the future, I will be very happy."
We are happy to take the lead and invite one or two superstars from Hollywood to come and support our movie."
Chenglong was very passionate when he said these words, as if he had found a new pursuit as he entered old age, which would always ignite some passion.
But the matter was too big, and after hearing Chenglong's sudden words, there was no time to think about it, so everyone present just gave up after talking about it.
Only Wang Jinhua noticed Chu Xuan's thoughtful look. He was obviously thinking about something because of Chenglong's words. It was probably because he couldn't talk much at the dinner, so Chu Xuan didn't say much after he regained consciousness.
There were only two siblings in the car now, so Wang Jinhua asked.
Chu Xuan retracted his gaze from looking at the night scene and looked at Wang Jinhua: "Brother Chenglong's words really touched me, but it's a little early to consider whether it is international or not. Judging from the current status of Hollywood in the world,
It would be thankless for the company to take the international route now."
Wang Jinhua nodded slowly and waited for Chu Xuan's next words.
"But Brother Chenglong's words gave me an idea." Chu Xuan said: "We don't need to create a series of movies like "Resident Evil" with just one or two protagonists from beginning to end."
"We can consider Disney's Marvel route. Under the same movie universe, different protagonists will develop a huge world view. When these protagonists become popular, the box office appeal of this series of movies will be extremely powerful."
Wang Jinhua raised an eyebrow, thought for a while and said: "Marvel, first launch a Superman, and then launch a Spider-Man... The protagonists of each movie are different actors, and then let the plot lines generated by different actors support more
A huge world view eventually forms a movie universe."
Chu Xuan nodded and crossed his arms: "My default idea before was that Sissi and I could support the entire series of movies."
"But now my other idea is to put aside the science fiction plans that have been made so far, and follow up with a series of fantasy movies, whether it be a series of movies from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a series of movies from The Classic of Mountains and Seas, or a series of movies similar to Resident Evil."
"Sissi and I only acted in the first part to make the movie as popular as possible, and then let Huang Xuan and the others appear in the second part, and let other artists from the company appear in the third part, the fourth part, the fifth part... and so on.
repeatedly."
"In this case, if it works, let Huang Xuan and others become popular in the domestic film industry first. After they have the capital at home, we will then consider how to take them internationally."
Wang Jinhua lowered her eyebrows and began to think about it.
The idea put forward by Chu Xuan, let alone how difficult or feasible it was, at least gave her a very huge ambition.
If we follow this idea and model to develop the company's film business, it will eventually lead to batches of artists taking root in the film industry.
Not only Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying, but also Li Zhengtong and Hu Jun were also influenced by the ideas used in the development of this film.
"But there is a premise." She raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Xuan, but she and Chu Xuan said in unison.
The two siblings looked at each other, then each smiled slightly.
"Say." Wang Jinhua smiled.
"The company's film and television industrialization must be completed before I can use this idea." Chu Xuan said.
"I thought of it." Wang Jinhua nodded: "Disney's Marvel system can be successful because Disney has a complete film and television industrial chain, which can streamline the film production process and launch one movie after another in a short period of time.
Movies make one actor popular after another."
Chu Xuan put down his legs, put his hands on the back of his head and leaned back on the sofa: "This is also a flaw in Brother Chenglong's idea."
"Let's look at this idea later. Let's start with the preliminary industrialization of film and television."
"Unlike a series of movies, the scripts and characters of each movie in the so-called movie universe are completely new."
"If the entire process of film production cannot be accelerated, the time span of each film may make the so-called movie universe a lifetime series."
"With the tilt of resources, it will seriously delay the development progress of other aspects of the company."
"Well, we'll talk about it later." Wang Jinhua nodded.
The ambition displayed by Chu Xuan's idea is still very tempting.
If it can be successful, it will lead many of the company's artists to emerge in the film industry, thus accelerating the company's film career to flourish.
Wang Jinhua kept this idea in her heart and kept it in mind.
"Sister, go to bed early and good night." The nanny car stopped at the gate of the villa, and Chu Xuan got out of the car and said goodbye.
"Good night." Wang Jinhua nodded slightly, and then said: "Wash the clothes."
Chu Xuan paused, turned his head and said with a smile: "Wash when you get back."
Wang Jinhua happily closed the car door with a bang and got off the car in front of the gate of her villa.
It's late at night, and people who have been busy all day are sleeping peacefully.
…
The next day, Chu Xuan got up early in the morning, talked to Liu Yifei on the phone to greet her as usual, and after washing up, he went straight to the Bright Times Film and Television Company.
Since Liu Yi was entangled with many things and couldn't leave, and Tang Jili needed Liu Yi's help in character design, his screenwriting team stayed at Bright Times Film and Television Company.
Chu Xuan was very interested in designing the roles of himself and Liu Yifei, and since he was in his own company, he participated enthusiastically.
For the process of constructing a complete script, generally there is the story structure and related settings first, then the general characters, then the story outline, then the characters are designed to make the characters three-dimensional and full, and finally the plot script is written.
The sci-fi movie "Attack on the Wall" has already been titled, and the script planning stage is currently in the design of the characters.
For any film or television drama, the characters are the soul of the story world. The quality of the character design will directly affect the quality of the work.
Therefore, Tang Jili's screenwriter team and Liu Yi's screenwriter team joined forces to design characters as bright as possible for this science fiction movie.
Often in a film and television drama, there are about six types of characters: subject, antagonist, type A auxiliary, type B auxiliary, output, and object.
Take Zhang Xiaofan in "Zhu Xian" as an example. The subject is Zhang Xiaofan.
Those that hinder the main story line are antagonists. For example, Qi Hao, which hinders Zhang Xiaofan's emotional line; such as Daoxuan, which hinders Zhang Xiaofan's growth line, can be called antagonists.
Those who can make the subject or the opponent have desires or realize their desires are auxiliary bodies. For example, Tian Linger makes Zhang Xiaofan fall in love, and the same goes for Baguio. These two characters can be called auxiliary bodies.
Those who can express the value of the script, central ideas and viewpoints are called output bodies. For example, Zhou Xiaohuan has the line "He didn't do anything bad, so bringing an evil thing must be bad?". Characters who have such values or viewpoints output are called output bodies.
It is the output body.
Finally, what can help the subject or opponent achieve their goals is the object.
For example, if Zhang Xiaofan wants to improve his cultivation, he needs the Book of Heaven, and the Book of Heaven is an object.
For example, Zhang Xiaofan needs something but doesn't know where it is. He needs the help of Yiyi Xian to tell fortunes, and Yiyi Xian is the object.
The object can be a person or an object.
These six types of people and objects are what every screenwriter must have a thorough understanding of.
Only with a thorough understanding can we think clearly about the connections between these six types of systems in the story.
Only by finding the connection between them can we design the story nodes more clearly.
A story has ups and downs, and a node is needed to maintain the ups and downs. This node may be an opponent, an auxiliary, an output, or an object.
When the nodes of the entire story line are set up, the character and changes of the person, or the function of the object can be designed based on whether the node is an antagonist or an auxiliary body, etc.
When the subject reaches this node along the story line, the climax of the plot will naturally occur.
Finally, the foreshadowing plot is designed based on the causal relationship between the two nodes.
When the plot design between all nodes is completed, the final script outline will be formed.
Looking at it this way, it is not difficult to see that the design of an original story is to design the climax first and then design the foreshadowing in turn.
This is also the knowledge point that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei learned when they were the producers of "Zhu Xian".
Nowadays, it is a rare learning opportunity for Yu Chuxuan to create an original script for a blockbuster movie.
However, compared to the output body and object, the subject character is naturally more important to him.
However, compared to character design for TV series, character design for movies is much more difficult.
There are many TV series, and there are many plots that can be used to foreshadow the characters' personalities, etc.
Movie time is not long enough, and there are not many opportunities to foreshadow the characters. Therefore, when designing movie characters, it is necessary to make the characters reflect their distinctive personalities and eye-catching images as soon as possible.
"What do you think?" Liu Yi sat on the chair and raised his head to ask Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan wandered around the office area, looking left and right, absorbing useful knowledge points from the exchanges between various teachers.
Hearing Liu Yi's question, Chu Xuan stopped next to him, dumbfounded: "You are a gold medal screenwriter, ask me a beginner?"
Liu Yi smiled, looked down at the information, raised the hand holding the pen and scratched his head: "In this background setting, the living standard is in ancient times and does not pay much attention to daily life, and the time point is in modern times, which requires a lot of effort.
The contrast effect, but such a contrast cannot make the audience laugh..."
Liu Yi put down the hand that was scratching his head, turned the pen in his hand, and looked up at Chu Xuan: "In this case, what do you think of Qianqian's image? If it is clean, neat, and white, it will be the same as
The style of painting in this context is conflicting, so if you go out of your way to make it look ugly, it doesn’t seem necessary.”
Chu Xuan raised his right hand, which was folded in both hands, and caressed his chin with two fingers, looking thoughtful.
Liu Yi is right, if Liu Yifei appears in a normal image in such a background painting style, it will look out of place if she is too beautiful.
But if Liu Yifei is deliberately made ugly...
In his opinion, this is the last resort.
"We can only think of a solution through makeup." Chu Xuan said in a low voice.
"Yes, we can only work on makeup." Liu Yi nodded, took the thermos cup and twisted the lid to get ready to drink water.
Chu Xuan thought to himself as he pondered: "With disheveled hair? It looks like someone who doesn't take care of their hair for a long time. Wear something simple, like wearing linen? There's a little dust on the face, and it looks like you don't pay attention to daily life."
"Pfft--" Liu Yi squirted out the water he had just drank into his mouth, attracting curious looks from the screenwriting teachers nearby.
"With disheveled hair? Wearing linen? There's dust on his face? Isn't he a beggar?" Liu Yi felt amused.
The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth gradually turned upward, and he took out his mobile phone: "I'll make a call to ask for advice."
"You are going to be scolded by Sissi." Liu Yi looked like he was watching a show.
Sure enough, when Chu Xuan dialed the phone and expressed his sudden thoughts, he heard an incredulous and unhappy voice from Liu Yifei on the other side of the phone.
"Chu Xuan! You actually want your girlfriend to become a beggar!!"
"Hahahaha..." The office burst into laughter. This young couple had such a dramatic scene, which made the screenwriting teachers extremely happy.
Chu Xuan suppressed a laugh, put his hands on the table, lowered his head and said to the mobile phone on the table: "I just thought about it, it's very picturesque."
"If you think about it, your hair is a little messy, tied in a loose ponytail that falls straight down on the back of your head. Some hair falls on the left side of your forehead, and one or two strands of bangs fall on the right side of your forehead."
"Then wear simple clothes, such as dark cloth or linen, to give people the feeling of being underfed and weak."
"But you have a firm gaze and a cold face. You hold a bow. You bend down neatly to draw an arrow, and you can pierce the enemy with a hundred steps. With one arrow, you can seal the throat and kill an alien."
"I think the contrast is great, don't you think?"
"Eh?" Liu Yi's eyes lit up. He originally thought it was funny, but after hearing Chu Xuan's detailed description and considering Liu Yifei's appearance and condition, he suddenly felt that it was okay.
"I feel it." Liu Yi said while constructing the picture in his mind.
"I really feel it." Chu Xuan agreed.
"Really?" Liu Yifei was doubtful.
With messy hair and linen clothes, she looks like a female beggar.
Can I control it?
"Moreover, you start with this image. Later, let Brother Liu design a change of clothes for you to show a side similar to a queen. This plot will form a second contrast. I think it will be amazing." Chu Xuan added.
, tell the association in your heart.
"I think it's good for you to use a bow as a weapon. Don't foreigners like elves? The weapons of elves are usually bows and arrows. I think your face shape will also conform to the aesthetics of the European and American markets..."
Speaking of this, Chu Xuan paused, clapped his hands and said: "I think the idea I mentioned is a genius!"
Chu Xuan faced everyone and smiled slightly: "What do the teachers think?"
All the screenwriting teachers looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you.
After thinking about Liu Yifei's image for a moment, they each made comments.
"It seems good."
"You can try it."
"It depends on whether the talisman meets the needs of the plot."
"We also have to look at the specific degree of matching with the painting style."
"..."
"I think we can try it first." Liu Yi said. After Chu Xuan expressed all his thoughts, he changed his attitude from thinking that Chu Xuan was joking and said with approval: "Let's construct the character according to your idea first.
Let’s take a look and then talk.”
There was silence on the phone for a while, and then he said: "Brother Liu, make Chu Xuan's image look ugly and not too handsome."
There was another burst of laughter from the teachers nearby.
Liu Yi raised his head and joked: "Are you going to hurt each other?"
Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh. He chatted with Liu Yifei for a few more words and then hung up the phone.
Designing original characters is not that simple. Even with an idea provided by Chu Xuan, there are too many elements to consider.
In addition to the six major categories of the character system, there are also three levels of characters that need to be considered.
Common characters, such as drunkards, gamblers, matchmakers, etc., only need to highlight their own set characteristics.
Flat characters are endowed with one or more values based on their core characteristics.
Round characters possess a variety of values and at the same time have distinctive character traits and growth lines, as well as external or internal changes brought about by growth.
These three levels of character division do not mean that the designed characters can only be one of them, or they can be multiple.
Just like the character image that Chu Xuan just designed for Liu Yifei, it is a generic character. The initial image only shows a contrasting characteristic of being frail and heroic.
And Liu Yifei is the protagonist, so as the plot progresses, she will naturally grow into a flat character and finally a round character.
But when to grow into a flat character and when to grow into a round character, this requires setting and planning based on all the context of the story.
The design of characters for film and television dramas has always been a big project.
When Chu Xuan saw Liu Yiyin's suggestion to design a character for Liu Yifei, he went to the Literature Department intermittently for several days in a row, immersed in the creative atmosphere and never tired of it.
Designing a character for your girlfriend is a very interesting thing.
It wasn't until May 15th when Wang Jinhua called that Chu Xuan came out of the creative atmosphere.
"Brother Liu, I'll take the first step." Chu Xuan stood up from his chair.
Liu Yi looked at his watch: "It's still early, where are you going?"
"An agent from South Korea has come to discuss cooperation. I want to go there." Chu Xuan said.
Hearing this, Liu Yi stopped asking any more questions and said, "I will come to the company to meet you in the afternoon, and we will go to Ren Quan's shop for dinner together."
"Okay, let's go." Chu Xuan waved his hand, turned and left.
