003 [Establish the script]
"Bah, bah, bah..."
"Crackling..."
At one o'clock in the morning, after the barbecue, the three of them returned home. Luo Yuan took advantage of the wine to write the script.
No bloodshed?
The style of painting is unique?
In his previous life, "My University Chronicle", which had a Douban rating of 8.8, was such a drama, but Luo Yuan still felt that the later name of the drama was more catchy -
Drama title: "Crossing the Window Together".
This is a story with a simple structure. It tells that Lu Qiaochuan, Zhong Bai, and Ren Yifan, who grew up together, were admitted to the same university and made a group of friends in the school. Then these people got involved in all kinds of trivial matters.
There are gags and jokes in the middle, and the story continues to mature...
The settings are very ordinary.
However, under this background setting, every character in it is very vivid, and the story itself is also very heart-wrenching. This is the reason why Luo Yuan chose this drama.
actually……
There is a treasure trove of memories from past lives, and there are many youth campus scripts for Luo Yuan to choose from. However, Luo Yuan lives a new life, and what kind of scenes he shoots depends more on his own mood.
What are you pursuing in filming?
Pursue big productions, pursue the hottest TV ratings, and pursue movie box office that will amaze the industry?
Of course these ideas exist.
But in this life, Luo Yuan's mentality has been very calm. He feels very happy shooting small productions and relatively unpopular things. As for big productions...
Let’s wait until someday when we are interested.
Luo Yuan is no stranger to writing scripts. He was a director in his previous life and also studied screenwriting. He can master both scripts and storyboards at his fingertips.
certainly.
The original plot must not be copied.
First, the background of the world is different, and many things in it will naturally have to change accordingly. Second, the rhythm of some plots in this drama is a bit slow. It only took two episodes to introduce the characters at the beginning of school. Luo Yuan had to give it according to his own understanding.
It polishes it up…
that's all.
Half a month has passed.
Luo Yuan finally finished the script of "Staying Together" and immediately called Xia Ran and Ai Xiaoai to their residence.
"You wrote the script in less than half a month?"
When he arrived at Luo Yuan's residence, Xia Ran was full of doubts. It wasn't until Luo Yuan threw the printed script in front of him that he opened it with hesitation.
"this is yours."
Luo Yuan also sent a copy to Ai Xiaoai.
The two of them just held the script and started reading. Luo Yuan held his mobile phone and studied the relevant systems of film and television dramas in this world.
…
It’s different from the previous life.
The Chinese entertainment industry in this world has a distinct labor union system, which is supported and protected by the state, and the relevant laws are very sound. This is somewhat similar to Hollywood in the previous life.
Actors Guild!
Directors Guild!
Writers Guild and more!
There is a corresponding guild for almost every profession in the film and television industry. As long as you make some achievements after one year in the industry and pay your membership fees on time, you can enjoy the rights and interests guaranteed by the guild.
The original owner is a member of the Directors Guild.
The guild has many functions. For example, it can bring together professional talents and form a virtuous cycle similar to an employment relationship. If you want to find an actor, you only need to register with the Directors Guild, and someone who meets the conditions will contact you the next day.
Screenwriters, directors, etc. are equally qualified.
This complete system has allowed China's cultural entertainment to develop rapidly. In recent years, a considerable number of excellent works have emerged, whether they are novels, music, or film and television dramas.
but……
In Luo Yuan's view, there is still some way to go before the level of cultural and entertainment development in this world reaches the level of previous generations. This is evident from the monotonous type of literary and artistic works.
Fortunately, technology has declined.
The filming of film and television dramas is supported by relevant technologies and systems, so it is easier than in previous lives. As long as there is enough talent, new directors can also take over, and countless domestic video websites provide the soil for these film and television dramas to survive -
—
Yes!
Web dramas are very popular!
This kind of popularity is even greater than in previous lives. To some extent, it can be compared with the popularity of online novels in previous lives. Of course, the thresholds for the two are still very different. After all, the funds for filming film and television dramas cannot be raised casually.
of.
Luo Yuan made a special investigation.
There are three largest video websites in China, namely [Penguin Video], [Light and Shadow World] and [Shuimu.com]. These three websites are the largest in scale, and they are like one-third of the world. The original owner filmed "Love Waltz" on [Light and Shadow].
World】Broadcast on this platform...
"I think it's okay!"
Just when Luo Yuan was thinking about whether to continue signing a contract with the video website [World of Light and Shadow] for his new drama, Xia Ran's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Why are you so surprised?"
Luo Yuan, who was thinking about something, was startled and glared at Xia Ran angrily.
Xia Ran felt that there seemed to be a majesty between Luo Yuan's brows that he had never felt before, and subconsciously laughed: "I'm talking about the script. Director Luo is mighty. This script called "Welcome to the Window Together" is very interesting. You really impressed me."
Once..."
"I think it's okay too!"
Ai Xiaoai, who was standing aside, put down the script and his eyes lit up: "I thought it was quite boring at first, but the more I watched, the more fascinating and down-to-earth I became. It reminded me of college life..."
"Maybe it's just feelings?"
"I think the military training plot is very touching!"
"I think the part about eating dumplings in the cafeteria is more touching!"
"There are also endless jokes in it. Although I laughed a lot, I couldn't help being amused several times..."
Yes, these two got chatting.
Luo Yuan had to interrupt the two of them: "Isn't the purpose of showing you the script so that you can discuss the story itself and know your roles?"
"I am Lu Qiaochuan!"
Xia Ran said with a smile: "Although this protagonist is very sad, a bit like a scumbag, and sometimes very annoying, I can feel that he has been growing."
"I am the female number one Zhong Bai."
Ai Xiaoai glanced at Xia Ran: "Although Zhong Bai has always been a bit obsessed with Lu Qiaochuan in this drama, his personality is quite lovable. It is different from the routines of female protagonists in all current youth dramas. I personally agree.
Said, I like this story very much.”
"Is this script based on us?"
Ai Xiaoai was in a good mood: "Lu Qiaochuan, Zhong Bai, and Ren Yifan are three best friends who have been together since elementary school. They can't be separated if they fight each other. They have a very similar relationship with the three of us!"
Xia Ran panicked: "You have a crush on me?"
Ai Xiaoai scolded: "You are mentally retarded. Zhong Bai likes Lu Qiaochuan in the script, but that doesn't mean I like you."
"I can rest assured that."
Xia Ran smiled so meanly that Ai Xiaoai wanted to hit her.
Luo Yuan stood up and said: "Okay, you guys take the script back and continue reading it. We will go out to eat first. After dinner, we will go to the major guilds to register and find people to build the crew. Our division of labor is..."
"I'm looking for an actor."
Xia Ran raised his hand: "We don't need to go through the Actors Guild. We can ask some classmates to help, and their salary is relatively low!"
"Then I'll find a school."
After all, Ai Xiaoai came from a film and television school, and she also has some understanding of the preparation work of the crew: "I know the president of the student union of a school, and he should be able to provide us with a filming location..."
Several people discussed and decided on the division of labor.
Walking downstairs, Ai Xiaoai said: "Let's go over there and take a taxi in the shade. It's too hot today. Fortunately, the beginning of the script is about summer."
"Where's your car?"
Luo Yuan looked at Xia Ran strangely.
Xia Ran waved his hands repeatedly and said: "The paint on the car was scratched and damaged a few days ago. Send it to the 4S store for warranty repair!"
"Where's your car?"
Listening to the familiar sentence pattern, Luo Yuan asked again.
Xia Ran shrugged, while Ai Xiaoai gloated and shouted: "Sold!"
Luo Yuan stared at Xia Ran.
Chapter completed!
