Chapter 932 Script
Gong Nanbei and Wang Wangjiao discussed it before, but the revised script was still a bit confusing, for fear that the audience would not understand it.
Gong Nanbei has been able to get to where it is today, relying on word-of-mouth. If word-of-mouth collapses, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of backlash.
Gong Nanbei shook his head, or decided to write down a few scripts first, and then hand them over to the editorial department to see if they have revised the plan?
After all, professional things must be done by professional people. They are editors, and they must be more professional than Gong Nanbei!
It is a pity that none of the tasks released by Wang Wangjiao before can be completed by an editor. They are all eager for quick success. What they wrote is not what Gong Nanbei wanted at all, otherwise Gong Nanbei would not have to think about the script by himself.
Of course, this may also be because Gong Nanbei's requirements are too high.
Writing a script is a slow thing to do, especially if you have to draw split shots.
Wang Wangjiao came here twice during the period. After seeing Gong Nanbei's script, he was curious.
"Why do you always like to write some Western scripts recently?"
"Although we are going to foreign markets, there is no need to give up the domestic market."
"Our domestic audiences will definitely be uncomfortable watching Western scripts. There are too many cultural differences and there is a generation gap."
Gong Nanbei nodded, this is indeed a problem. It is difficult to adjust the consensus, how to find a point that both parties can accept, this is very important.
With a wry smile, he looked at Wang Wangjiao and said, "I've been a little confused these past two days, and I don't have any good ideas."
Wang Wangjiao laughed: "Their movies are nothing more than two points, love and war."
Gong Nanbei stretched his waist and said: "But there are too many of these two kinds of movies, and the audience is getting tired of watching them. If you shoot these two themes, it will be difficult to break through the box office."
Wang Wangjiao shrugged and said, "There is some conflict between literary films and the box office. You can't have both. If we really want to win the prize, we can sacrifice some at the box office."
Gong Nanbei was somewhat resistant to this. He didn't feel distressed about the box office money, but felt that he could not be separated from the masses!
The box office is the best way to prove that the audience loves it. Although a movie with a high box office has not won any awards, the audience will definitely love it!
A movie with a low box office, even if you are the leading actor and actress, no one wants to watch it for nothing!
Saying a thousand things and ten thousand, a movie is made for people to see. Since it is for people to see, it has to be good-looking!
As Mr. Guo said in the previous life, cross talk is to make everyone laugh. After watching it, you can laugh.
If you expect to see some philosophy of life from Xiangsheng, it is unrealistic to dare to stop the horse when you go out.
And movies are for people to see, no matter what you want to spread and express, first and foremost, you have to make people willing to watch!
Wang Wangjiao shrugged when he saw that he couldn't help. He couldn't write a script or something, but he could read a script!
Gong Nanbei has been thinking a lot in the past two days. Westerners have a strong spirit of adventure and can make an adventure movie.
Didn't "Raiders of the Lost Ark" win the Academy Award? The box office of the later "National Treasure" series is also not bad.
Foreigners like to watch this kind of theme, and domestic people like it too. For example, the series "Notes on Tomb Raiders" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
I won't talk about word of mouth. The reason why I was so bad in my last life was mainly because of the requirements from above and the problems of actors.
Even if you don't have any acting skills, you still get a big paycheck. If you can look good, there will be ghosts. If it is filmed by North and South Media, this problem will definitely not occur!
Gong Nanbei pinched his chin, and thought it was okay to shoot, but which one is better?
And after all, this kind of film is not a literary film, nor can it teach people anything, and the chance of winning an award is not high.
Gong Nanbei took out a piece of paper and a pen, and began to write anything on it at will, so that he could easily grasp the inspiration!
Gong Nanbei first wrote down the words "male and female" on the paper.
This is a reference to the setting of the Ghost Blowing Lamp series, which is a relatively acceptable setting. For example, the team in "A certain Shadow Ninja" in the previous life was formed with this setting.
The male protagonist must be himself, so don't think about it, otherwise how can you be the best actor.
The second male should also be a fat man, and a fat man will naturally give people a sense of closeness and security.
That's why the second male characters in "Notes on Tomb Raiders" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" are all fat.
As for the choice between the roles of Xue Li Yang and Zhang Qiling, it is a bit difficult, and it can only be said that each has its own advantages.
But in the end Gong Nanbei decided to use Xue Li Yang's character setting. There is no way. Zhang Qiling's character setting is really eye-catching. If you bring him, the identity of Gong Nanbei's protagonist will definitely be suppressed. This is the charm of the character. .
After writing the character settings, Gong Nanbei began to design the main story line.
He also wrote the word "Treasure Hunting" in the book, and there are several types of treasure hunting.
The most common is the treasure map. The beginning of the story often tells the demise of a dynasty, leaving a batch of treasures. The person who guards the treasure draws a treasure map, and then the treasure map is passed on to someone, and the family has several generations. They've been looking for it, but to no avail.
In the end, a descendant broke out in character, discovered the secret of the treasure map, and finally found the treasure and so on.
The second is archaeology. Whether it is an expert or a professor, they have found clues in some ancient documents, and then take people to investigate the archaeology.
The third is tomb robbery, which is actually similar to the second way of expression, but it makes the audience feel more involved.
The audience's aesthetics are now different from before. In the past 20 years, whether in TV dramas or movies, the protagonists must be bright and stalwart.
They don't even have any flaws in them, almost all of them are dedicated to the people wholeheartedly.
This protagonist image was very popular back then, but audiences don't like it now.
The reason is also very simple, too fake, that kind of person is more like a made-up saint!
What people prefer nowadays are those protagonists who have some minor problems, such as gluttony, love of money, lust, etc., as long as they are not chaotic in the face of big right and wrong!
Because people are not saints and sages, no one can be blamed. This kind of protagonist with some minor flaws is more real and makes the audience feel more involved!
It's like the kind of tomb robbing to find good treasures, and then selling money to buy luxury cars and beauties, it's cool to think about it!
The fourth type is passive, where the protagonist can be a certain scholar, who is then kidnapped by someone, forcibly brought in to study something, and then go to a certain place to hunt for treasure.
These four are almost the most common in the film market, but which one to choose made Gong Nanbei hesitate.
In the end, he still chose tomb raiding!
There is no way, the first is because this theme has not become popular in China, and the current treasure hunt in China is mostly based on the second type. This novel start should be able to bring a wave.
But it is almost impossible to win awards in China.
Because tomb raiding is a crime no matter what!
Just like in "Mao Li" back then, the book is a good book, and the audience's reputation is good, but no matter how chivalrous and righteous, a thief is a thief after all, and there is no hope of winning.
Congrats to RC boss for becoming the third leader of this book! The mountain ghost is double-opening, and what I owe you will have to be paid back slowly~ Another advertisement for the new book "Rebirth: Entertainment from the Breakup" is now released!
