Chapter 827 Script Analysis
After some thought, Tan Yue decided to start with the plot outline of the movie.
What needs to be done now is to write the movie script first, and the localization of the script and the casting can be put aside for later.
You can't eat a big meal in one bite, there is still a lot of work to do before the filming of the movie.
The story line of "The Truman Show" is relatively simple. Tan Yue took out a new notebook from the drawer and wrote the outline on it.
As the protagonist of the movie, Truman was selected by the director when he was born, and his 30 years of life were recorded and broadcast live around the world to make a popular soap opera "The Truman Show".
Everything around him is fake, his relatives and friends are all actors, but he knows nothing about it.
After noticing the abnormality, Truman finally walked out of this virtual world at all costs.
The scenes in the movie "The Truman Show" appeared in Tan Yue's mind, and he was also thinking about whether the movie could be popular in the film market in this world.
Looking at the written plot outline, Tan Yue felt that the story was getting more and more interesting.
As the director's last sentence in the movie said, "The world outside is more unreal than my fictional world, and it is also full of lies and hypocrisy. But in my world, you don't have to be afraid. '
Tan Yue remembered in his previous life that a friend felt that Truman was very pitiful when he first watched this movie, and everything around him, whether it was people or the world, was fake.
However, when he got older, looking back at the huge pressure of the real world, he sometimes felt that Truman lived in a happy world.
"The Truman Show" is an interesting and meaningful movie.
With the increase of experience, you will have a different perspective when you look back and appreciate this movie.
"This is a movie with a lot of potential."
Tan Yue smiled.
Science fiction movies are so popular in the domestic and foreign film markets. In addition to bringing shocking visual impact to the audience, brain holes are also an important reason for the public's love.
The director presents some unrestrained ideas in the form of pictures in front of the audience, which is a major selling point in the film market.
"The Truman Show" is a movie with a huge brain hole. After many years, people who see the movie for the first time are still amazed, and it gives the audience an extremely real feeling.
Such a movie is quite suitable as Tan Yue's first step into the global film market.
Tan Yue, who was still worrying about how to choose the material before, now has a sudden enlightenment.
Suddenly, the ringing of the mobile phone on the table interrupted his thoughts. The caller was Xu Nuo.
"Do you want to play billiards?"
Xu Nuo has been itching to play recently, and he is addicted to billiards again. He is a typical example of being bad at playing but also playing.
"No, I have things to do."
Without a second of thinking time, Tan Yue directly refused. He has an idea for the new movie, and he needs to write the script first.
Xu Nuo was a little disappointed: "Okay, you go first."
Tan Yue smiled and reminded: "I have no time recently. Go to the gym to play by yourself. There are always people playing billiards. It's just right for you to practice your billiard skills during this period. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to beat me in the future."
"Do I still need to practice my billiard skills? I won't tell you, I'll be busy first."
Xu Nuo hung up the phone. He knew that Tan Yue must be busy, otherwise he wouldn't refuse so easily. When he wanted to continue working, he felt that what Tan Yue said made sense, so he got up and went to the gym.
...
The next day, early in the morning.
After Tan Yue came to the office, he made himself a cup of strong tea and placed it next to the computer. A sip of strong tea can refresh the mind and better complete the next work.
Then he created a folder named "The Truman Show" on the computer, and also put a notebook at hand.
The notebook will record some important things, which are all matters that need to be paid attention to when preparing for work.
Yesterday he was recalling the plot of the movie, and today he will officially start writing the script.
After opening the folder, create a new document named "Movie Story Outline".
The outline on the notebook is the general content of the whole movie, and what is to be written now is relatively detailed.
Dividing the whole movie into several sections will help to complete the movie script faster.
The sound of keyboard tapping came from the quiet office.
Thirty years ago, Omnicom Television Production Company adopted a baby, and they deliberately trained him to become the protagonist of the world's most popular documentary soap opera "The Truman Show", and the company achieved great success.
However, there was only one person who was completely unaware of all this, and he was the only protagonist of the show-Truman.
Truman has lived in a small town called Utopia since he was a child. He is a broker of an insurance company in this small town.
Truman seems to live a life exactly like ordinary people, but he doesn't know that there are thousands of cameras facing him every second of his life, and the whole world is watching him every moment. He doesn't know that everyone around him, including his wife and friends, are actors in "The Truman Show".
Although he feels that everyone seems to pay attention to him, and everything he does from childhood to adulthood has some unexpected dramatic effects, these don't make this simple-minded young man care too much.
However, due to a momentary negligence of the production team of the program, the "father" who "died" because of Truman when he was a child appeared again.
I don't know how much time passed, but the sound of typing on the keyboard suddenly stopped. Tan Yue was already wearing a massager around his neck, and there was not much tea left in the cup.
After drinking the last bit of water in the cup, Tan Yue stood up from the chair, shaking his neck, and came to the window.
After opening the window, a breeze blew through, and Tan Yue closed his eyes slightly to rest.
Recalling the plot in a movie is a very tiring task and requires a high degree of mental concentration to recall as many details as possible.
After a while.
Tan Yue stretched his arms and felt that his energy had recovered a lot. He took the cup to the water dispenser and took another cup of hot water. The smell of tea immediately hit his face.
Chen Ziyu specially asked a friend to buy tea from other places. The taste was just right for Tan Yue. There were two bottles in the cabinet.
Tan Yue sat back in front of the computer and typed on the keyboard again.
"The Truman Show" is a movie that he likes very much, and Tan Yue also has his own understanding of this movie.
"The Truman Show" has fascinated many viewers because of its bizarre plot.
As time goes by, this movie that just missed the Oscars has been talked about by more and more movie fans.
It shows people how an ordinary little person was made into a famous TV star without his knowledge, but was completely deprived of freedom, privacy and even dignity. Reflecting human hopes and anxieties, it also attracts attention for touching on the most sensitive social issues.
Tan Yue can't remember how many times he has watched this movie.
…
…
It's lunch time in a blink of an eye.
Tan Yue did not leave the office and called Chen Ye over through the internal phone.
"Xiao Ye, help me bring some food back from the cafeteria after dinner."
Tan Yue's hands were still on the keyboard, typing the script.
Chen Ye left the office in response.
Now is the time when his thoughts are clear, and Tan Yue plans to write the synopsis of the story in one go.
In addition, Chen Ziyu was invited to attend an event today and was not in the company.
Tan Yue didn't want to go to the restaurant to eat anymore.
"The synopsis is finally ready."
Tan Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and finally completed the first step of the script in one morning. I read it again from beginning to end and clicked save after confirming that there were no mistakes. I picked up the cup and took a sip of water to rest for a while.
Gently rubbing his slightly dry eyes, he was thinking about his next work plan.
Tan Yue created a new document "Character List" in the "Truman Show" folder and prepared to start writing character biographies.
The first character is naturally the protagonist Truman in the movie.
The sound of typing on the keyboard came again in the office.
After writing the introduction to Truman, Tan Yue began to analyze Truman's character from all aspects, so that the actors could better understand the character.
Truman is a person who always lives in his own fantasy world. He likes to talk to himself and has noted some scenes from the movie at the back.
Tan Yue used this to analyze many characters in detail, such as: very polite, enthusiastic, timid, and cowardly.
I quickly wrote the seventh article. Truman has great curiosity and desire to explore. (Note: He explores the truth step by step, and can do strange actions when he runs to the building opposite.)
Tan Yue temporarily put aside his Truman biographies and began writing about the director of the soap opera "The Truman Show" in the movie.
When writing the plot later, the character's personality can be continued to be added.
As the producer of the soap opera "The Truman Show," he directed the entire Truman Show and is a worldly and sophisticated crew leader who makes people shudder. Everything is designed to be almost perfect, and Truman is controlled in a surreal world.
People who can do this kind of thing are certainly perseverant, decisive, meticulous, and even cruel in character. Thirty years of trying to create a soap opera with extremely high ratings has allowed a person to live completely in an illusory world.
Tan Yue picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, rested for a moment, and continued to write——
Too cold-blooded, he trapped Truman in a false world since he was a child; too profitable, he sold Trumen's privacy 24 hours a day for profit; he was inhumane, and he wanted to prevent Truman from leaving at the expense of Truman's life.
But he also has a tender side.
In thirty years, he had already regarded Truman as his own child.
When Truman was about to leave this world, he expressed his inner thoughts, fully aware of the hypocrisy of the outside world, and wanted him to stay.
At this time, Chen Ye knocked on the door gently and came in with food.
"Thank you, Xiaoye!"
After Chen Ye went out, Tan Yue temporarily put down his work and started eating.
A week later came in the blink of an eye.
Tan Yue closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, feeling relieved.
For a week, Tan Yue spent most of his time writing scripts every day, and would sometimes write until midnight when he got home at night. Once he has a job, he never procrastinates and completes it in the shortest possible time. Only after the script is completed can he move on to the next job.
With continuous efforts, the script of "The Truman Show" is finally about to be completed.
Tan Yue picked up the cup to drink water and found that it was empty. Time always flies when you are immersed in something.
He poured the tasteless tea leaves into the trash can, put the new tea leaves in, took a cup of hot water, and placed it on his desk.
"In another day or two, the script can be handed over to the film department for polishing."
Tan Yue paced back and forth in the office, one is to facilitate thinking, the other is that his waist hurts a little from sitting, and he needs to move around.
The phone on the table suddenly rang. Tan Yue picked up the phone and looked at the call reminder, muttering: "What's wrong with this fat guy? Want to play ball?"
After answering the phone, it was exactly as he thought.
"Old Tan, do you have time today? Come downstairs with me to play ball."
Xu Nuo's voice was full of confidence that had not been seen for a long time.
In the past week, Xu Nuo often came down to play with other people in the company, and his ball skills have improved a lot. With more wins and less losses, he felt that he could do it again. That's why he couldn't wait to compete with Tan Yue again.
Tan Yue looked at the computer, thought for a moment, and said: "Wait for me in the gym downstairs."
"Haha, I'm waiting for you to say this."
Xu Nuo hung up the phone directly, ran out of the office in a hurry, and went straight to the gym downstairs after arranging a few words to the secretary.
Tan Yue wanted to say a few more words, but heard that the other party had hung up the phone, and shook his head helplessly.
Tan Yue first saved the script file, locked the computer screen, picked up the cup of water he had just received, and took the elevator to the gym on the first floor.
"Hello, Mr. Tan!"
The employees who were working out greeted him one after another.
Tan Yue also responded one by one. When he was near the billiard table, he saw Xu Nuo talking to several people.
"Let me tell you, I always give in to Mr. Tan when playing billiards with him. I taught him billiards. How could he beat me?"
"Look at your expressions? You don't believe it, right? Mr. Tan will be here soon. Today I will show you how I beat him."
The audience around laughed. It's not that they didn't believe it, but they had heard this sentence too many times.
"Fatty, you can't win by just talking."
"Then let's see the truth with our hands."
Xu Nuo had already set up the billiards and was waiting for Tan Yue to come.
Tan Yue put down the cup and asked, "Fatty, I haven't played with you for two weeks, and your confidence is a little inflated."
Xu Nuo pretended to be an expert: "Of course, you haven't played for two weeks, but I've been improving."
"Who's going to start first?" Tan Yue didn't want to listen to Xu Nuo's bragging.
"I'll do it."
The two people's competition started again.
More than an hour later.
Tan Yue smiled and said, "How about it, do you admit defeat?"
The two played five games today, and Tan Yue won three games.
Xu Nuo touched his frowning brows and couldn't understand why he lost again.
Finally, he couldn't help but mutter, "Is Old Tan really a talented player?"
