Chapter 198 Script Outline
"Waterfalk?!" Carl Roberts was shocked. He waved a few thin drafts in his hand and protested excitedly, "Are you kidding, BOSS? We can't do anything in one week."
Qin Shaoyan was very calm, "We only have one week now."
"This is impossible to accomplish," Carl Roberts said very indignantly. He said, "I have the right to refuse this unreasonable request. I only have one week and I can't do it."
Qin Shaoyan was still very calm, "Then I will find a director who can do it."
Carl Roberts seemed to be choked, and his mood calmed down, "Now we don't even have a script, it's very difficult to handle."
"I paid you to come here to solve the problem." Qin Shaoyan pointed out unceremoniously, "Get the filming team and actors together, and figure out how to do it while the script is being shot."
Carl Roberts begged: "Can you give me a day or two, and at least have a script outline?" I also have a direction."
Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds, "This kind of thing doesn't need a complicated plot, it just needs to highlight the character's personality."
"For example, the whole team in the opening scene. When caught in a huge crisis or faced with a very difficult situation, the entire team becomes disorganized and begins to quarrel and complain with each other, and the team is on the verge of collapse. ”
"Then the protagonist bravely stood up, took responsibility, and led the team to solve difficulties."
"At the beginning, the protagonist was questioned in various ways and the team members did not cooperate. The protagonist relied on his intelligence to solve one problem after another. Win the trust of the team members and let the team members admire and admire them. "In the end, everyone worked together and successfully completed the task under the leadership of the protagonist. The protagonist's body shone with a dazzling light in the sunset."
Carl Roberts was stunned when he heard this. After being stunned for a few seconds, he quickly took out a pen and paper and started writing. He became very excited.
“Buy it, BOSS, you are such a talented creator.” Carl Roberts praised as he wrote, “You are truly the best screenwriter I have ever seen, a hundred better than those bullshit screenwriters in Hollywood. Times, you really should write the script.”
"These are very simple story modes." Qin Shaoyan replied.
“Simple?” Carl Roberts said with a sarcastic smile, “Then you should really read those Hollywood scripts. They are all a piece of shit and can’t even explain the basic story logic. Okay."
"Don't say that." Qin Shaoyan said modestly, "There are many movies with great plots in Hollywood. I am just an amateur."
"Good scripts are as rare as gold. , and most of the rest are bullshit," Carl Roberts said disapprovingly, "The outline you gave me, BOSS, is very clear. I already have an idea in my mind, a protagonist with leadership qualities, healthy, smart, and very good eloquence. ."
"A supporting actress initially distrusts the protagonist, but then gradually develops a liking for her and falls in love with the protagonist."
"A thorn in the side, always complaining, and then trying to convince the protagonist."
"A good assistant, fully supporting the protagonist, a taciturn type."
"That's right. , plus a villain, challenged the protagonist, and then failed and was expelled from the team."
Qin Shaoyan nodded and said with satisfaction: "These characters are all good, it is important to design a few more. The supporting roles were written by several assistants. "The villain should be highlighted. He is the main line of conflict in the entire show."
"Especially the scene that challenges the protagonist is the highlight, and the tension of the fierce conflict must be filmed."
"The villain questions verbally, then puts forward his own plan, recruits other members, and confronts the protagonist, and then the protagonist solves the problem and resolves the problem. Crisis."
"The villain role is a constant challenge, constantly causing trouble for the protagonist, and even causing trouble behind his back, but the protagonist can always solve it safely."
"To sum up, the plot rhythm is, Raising difficult questions, setting up the process, intensifying conflicts, reversing the plot, and the protagonist wins, this is a plot unit, and then connects the units together."
Carl Roberts clapped his hands and whistled, "BOSS. The summary is great. A person like you who has no professional training or study can understand the script mode so thoroughly. You are really a genius."
Qin Shaoyan waved his hands, disapproving of Carl Roberts' flattery.
This simple thing can be done by just looking for someone.
Qin Shaoyan said seriously: "You immediately start looking for someone to fill in the script, screen the actors, and start filming as soon as the protagonist is chosen." Carl Roberts's face immediately fell, "BOSS, please give me more time. , One week is really not enough, and we have to add post-editing and production."
"Then I will give you two more days, a total of nine days, no more. "Qin Shaoyan warned, "I will keep an eye on the progress of your project every day. If you can't handle it, I will leave immediately. "
Carl Roberts immediately jumped up, grabbed the notebook full of words and ran away.
Arriving in the temporary office, Carl Roberts summoned all members of the team and said sternly: "Guys, we only have five days!"
"Waterfak!"
"Karl, are you kidding?! I couldn't even write the script in five days."
Listening to the complaints of other members, Karl did not waver at all, "This is the boss's request. If you can’t figure it out, get out!”
"Fake!"
......
Taylor came again the next day, but this time he didn't come by himself, but brought two young guys.
"John, I brought you the two protagonists." Taylor said with a kind smile, "They are both great young men."
Tyler spread his arms and stood between them. Someone tapped on the shoulder.
The young man on the left is less than 1.8 meters tall, with brown hair and a sunny smile on his face. He reaches out his hand enthusiastically, "Hello, sir, I am Peter Santis from Stanford University. Nice to meet you. . ”
The one standing on the right is tall and strong, looks a bit stupid, and looks like a rugby player with a shaved head.
"Raymond Adams, hello sir." Raymond said in a muffled voice, and carefully held Qin Shaoyan's hand with his generous palm.
Qin Shaoyan looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Welcome to our show, the time is a bit rushed, I hope you don't mind."
"It's okay." Peter He said with a smile, "If you have any questions, just ask me. I will try my best to cooperate with the shooting."
Raymond hesitated and said: "I hope it won't be too much trouble. I'm not very good at facing the camera."
Taylor patted Raymond on the shoulder and said kindly: "It's okay Raymond, you Just get used to it and John will take care of you."
"You have to trust the directors, they are a professional team, you just have to do what they say."
"But I don't like acting, I can't do this." Raymond looked confused and resisted.
“Don’t worry, kid.” Taylor said still cheerfully, “I even hated talking to others when I was in high school. After I got to college... God knows what I went through. I have become a very talkative person now. People.”
"Believe me, kid, it's not that difficult. Just take the first step bravely."
Qin Shaoyan suddenly interjected: "Peter, Raymond, our director can't wait to see you. He wants to Let’s quickly determine the shape and character for you, shall we start now?”
Peter nodded immediately, “OK, I’m fine”
Leymon glanced at Taylor. , also nodded.
"Good job, come on, boys." Taylor encouraged the two with a smile and sent them to the door.
After the two went out, Qin Shaoyan closed the door and said seriously to Taylor: "Taylor, we have to talk."
