Chapter 858 New character setting
The investor's representative also interjected: "Director Lin, you just mentioned the cultural part. Regarding this issue, the investor hopes to add more traditional cultural elements."
"This will not only attract a wider audience, but also enhance the cultural value of the film."
Lin Gao nodded.
"I agree with this, but we must ensure that these cultural elements are integrated organically rather than rigidly piled up."
"We can gradually introduce these elements through character background and story development, rather than forcing them in at the beginning."
Throughout the meeting, Lin Gao always maintained clear thinking and calm judgment.
He knows that the success of the sequel is not only related to the box office, but also related to the audience's expectations for the entire series.
Any wrong decision may lead to the collapse of the reputation of this series.
After the meeting, Lin Gao walked out of the conference room, followed closely by Wei Lianlian.
"Director Lin, the investor's representative just now seemed to attach great importance to your opinion."
"However, they seem a bit worried that the sequel will lose the commercial success of the first one."
Lin Gao smiled.
"Commercial success is of course important, but if the sequel has no content and is just a simple box office machine, its lifespan will not be long."
Wei nodded in agreement.
"What you said makes sense."
"But, are we going to speed up the progress of the sequel?"
Lin Gao thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, but quality must be the first priority."
"In the next few days, I will focus entirely on the script for the sequel."
"After all the problems are solved, we will talk about the shooting."
Wei Lianlian quickly wrote down Lin Gao's arrangements.
She knew that every decision Lin Gao made was carefully considered and he would never act hastily because of external pressure.
In the evening, Lin Gao returned home, turned on his computer, and began to read carefully the script for the sequel to "Westward Journey".
As he read, he recalled in his mind the success of the first volume.
Nonsensical humor, classic love tragedy, and fantasy story settings, all these elements laid a solid foundation for the first part.
But the sequel is different. It must find new breakthrough points based on these foundations.
Lin Gao thought about it, tapping his fingers on the keyboard, recording his modification opinions.
He knows that the next time will be more stressful, but he is never afraid of challenges.
Lin Gao knows that film is an art that requires constant innovation.
Every work is a new attempt, and he is always pursuing a higher peak.
As night fell, Lin Gao's thoughts became clearer and clearer.
He understands that this sequel is not only a promise to the audience, but also another test of his own film career.
And he was ready to meet this challenge.
Lin Gao felt a little tired after being busy for several days.
Although the script revision work for the sequel of "Westward Journey" is progressing smoothly, he knows that this is far from enough.
This film must not only continue the success of the first film, but also have new breakthrough points.
Lin Gao sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, and the city lights outside the window were dim.
His mind kept recalling the classic scenes from the first film, thinking about how to continue telling the story.
The pressure of the sequel posed a huge challenge to him.
But he knew that this was also a rare opportunity.
"The fate of Supreme Treasure has already reached tragedy in the previous film, so how can we make him reborn in front of the audience in the sequel?"
Lin Gao asked himself softly.
Various possible plot directions kept flashing through my mind.
Suddenly, he had an idea.
"That's right!"
He stood up, walked to the table, quickly picked up his notebook, and began to record the thoughts in his mind.
"Although Supreme Treasure has experienced tragedy, his character arc is not over." "He still needs to face his past and future."
"But this time, his choice is no longer to escape, but to face his deepest fear."
Lin Gao was organizing his thoughts while writing.
He thought that he could inspire changes in Zhizunbao's heart through a brand new character.
This character will be a mirror for him, reflecting his deepest emotions and struggles.
And this character must be a person with flesh and blood and a story.
Wei Lianlian walked into the office and saw Lin Gao immersed in writing something with obvious excitement on his face.
"Director Lin, did you suddenly have inspiration?"
she asked jokingly.
Lin Gao raised his head and smiled.
"Yeah, I just suddenly thought of a new character setting."
"I felt like that might be the missing piece of our script."
Wei Lianlian's eyes lit up and he immediately approached Lin Gao and looked at the notebook in his hand.
"New characters? Is this setting a bit risky?"
she asked worriedly.
After all, the success of the sequel has too many interests at stake.
"Adventure indeed."
Lin Gao admitted.
"But if we just conservatively repeat the success of the first one, then this movie will lose the meaning of existence."
"I hope to bring a different experience to the audience while maintaining the original style and emotion."
Wei nodded repeatedly.
She has long been accustomed to Lin Gao's adventurous creative style.
Every bold decision he makes leads to surprises in the end.
"Since you are so confident, I believe this will be a good try."
she laughed.
Lin Gao continued to write the new plot framework in his notebook.
He hopes that this new character will not only promote the development of the story, but also bring new challenges and growth to the Supreme Treasure.
He envisioned the character as a being full of contradictions and complexities, in stark contrast to the Supreme Treasure.
Through the interaction between the two, the deepest emotional changes in Zhizunbao's heart are gradually revealed.
"This new character can be a friend of Supreme Treasure, or an enemy he has never faced in the past."
Lin Gao murmured to himself.
"But no matter what, his appearance must make the Supreme Treasure make a more difficult choice than the first one."
Wei Lianlian listened quietly, full of curiosity about this new setting.
"When are you going to pitch this idea to the writing team?"
Lin Gao smiled.
"Wait until I complete the entire setup."
"I don't want to tell them the idea before it's mature, because it will affect their judgment."
Wei nodded repeatedly.
She knows how Lin Gao works and every decision is carefully considered.
After a while, Lin Gao suddenly put down his pen and turned to look at Wei Lianlian.
"By the way, where's the music part of the movie?"
"We had to find the right theme song, which was also crucial for the sequel."
Wei Lian looked through the documents, nodded and said: "Preparations have begun for the music part, but we have not found a suitable composer yet."
