Chapter 494: A Sentimental Film Disguised as a Sci-Fi Film

"Pu is always a wonderful storyteller!"

"Through a few simple requirements, I can already feel what a great work Mr. Pu wants to create."

"The truth is this."

As the coffee steamed, Liu Ming spoke slowly.

"The first requirement requires us to find a young actor. This expresses Mr. Pu's desire to create a movie that spans a very long time. Only young actors can produce a youthful feeling, while the old feeling can be achieved through post-production makeup. To achieve that effect, the change of time and the vicissitudes of life are the eternal themes in science fiction movies.”

"Furthermore, when Mr. Pu said we were looking for young actors, did he want us to find people with particularly poor acting skills? Obviously not! Mr. Pu wanted us to find leading actors of the younger generation who could perform such a big drama with a good time span. actor."

"Another special requirement is that the actor's hair must not be messy. This actually alludes to the identity of our male protagonist. What kind of person would have such a hairstyle? We can all think about it with our feet and know that ordinary people must not be able to shoot like that. There is no sense of reality at all. It would be strange if the audience doesn’t scold us!”

"But just like mechanical dance, rigidity is also a kind of beauty. If our protagonist is a robot, then it makes sense that the hairstyle does not change!"

"So, a comprehensive analysis of the first point: Mr. Pu made our protagonist a robot that spans the ages and witnesses the years."

Zhang Yang: "."

At this moment, he felt that his brain circuit could no longer keep up with Liu Ming's speaking speed.

He felt that something was weird, but when he thought about it carefully, it was really the case!

"Keep going!"

Liu Ming took a sip of coffee and continued his analysis.

"Mr. Pu's second point is to clearly tell us what the core of this movie is: a sci-fi emotional film, a story about a robot gaining feelings. Under the cold body of the robot, as time goes by, there will also be relationships with humans. The same feeling."

"On the surface it looks like we're filming a futuristic science fiction film, but in fact we're telling the story of a robot's self-awakening."

"The last one! Mr. Pu was worried that we didn't understand what he wanted to express, so he specially gave us a reminder. This gave us detailed guidance on our shooting techniques and story content."

"What is the best special effect? ​​Is it a spaceship and a cannon? Or a meteorite? Or a fighting spirit turning into a horse? Obviously, none of them are right. The American Kamei Dragon said this: If a movie can make people look indistinguishable from the real thing, , that’s the top level of special effects, what Mr. Pu wants is this kind of real special effects! It gives the audience a feeling that is just like the real thing!”

"It's as if this robot is the person around us, and the future world is the way we will live in the future. This kind of realm of seeing mountains or mountains, water or water, is the feeling that Mr. Pu wants to pursue in the film!"

"As for what President Pu said, it made the audience feel a little nauseous. He probably asked us to add some ethical issues between robots and humans. It had a slight sense of offending human public order and good morals, and was inconsistent with common sense. It made some viewers feel uncomfortable, but at the same time I think it’s reasonable, and this can sublimate the theme of our film!”

"Finally, to summarize, what we are going to shoot is a movie. In the future society, the robot protagonist gradually develops self-awareness in the process of getting along with humans, learns human emotions, and feels uncomfortable with his identity as a robot. Finally, after a long period of time, After his pursuit and exploration, he finally succeeded in transforming himself into a human being and died peacefully as a human being."

Bang bang bang!

"good!"

"That's great! That's what Mr. Pu thinks!"

"That's how we write the script! Only Mr. Pu can come up with such a profound subject."

Liu Ming also continued: "Of course, this is just an outline. We can also add some emotional lines according to Mr. Pu's request. For example, the protagonist was bought back by a human family as a family member and fell in love with him during the awakening process. The second daughter of the owner, but he is immortal because he is a robot. Until the second daughter died, he still looked young, and even his hairstyle did not change.

At this time, he was so uncomfortable that he died, hated eternal life, and vowed to become a human. Then he fell in love with the granddaughter of his second daughter, and decided not to miss it this time. He transformed himself into a human step by step, and finally married his second daughter. My granddaughter got married, lived happily together, and finally died together on the hospital bed.”

Zhang Yang couldn't wait to kiss Liu Ming immediately.

"Perfect! So perfect! I'm already crying."

"This absolutely meets Mr. Pu's requirements. It looks like science fiction on the surface, but is actually an emotional movie. The ethical impact it leaves people with in the end is even more wonderful!"

"Write, write, write! I'm inspired!"

Zhang Yang seemed to be enlightened and ran all the way to his desk, took out the keyboard and clicked.

Everyone in the production department was surprised.

The boss of their department has not worked for a long time, and usually does whatever he wants with Mr. Pu.

I look very excited today.

Liu Ming swallowed the last sip of coffee down his throat and raised a smile on his lips.

"It's such an interesting story, it will be great to film."

After finishing the general idea, his mind was still diverging, like a towering tree that was growing, growing branches one after another to add details to the script.

At the same time, I couldn't help but have some strange thoughts in my mind.

How are robots and humans made? Is the bottom made of rubber? What's the difference between that and using an automatic pull-out vibration bang?

The idea gradually became strange

After all, Zhang Yang is also a student of the screenwriting department of Beijing Arts Institute. He has learned a lot of skills from his teacher and can write scripts in a proper manner.

He filled the ideas given by Liu Ming into the computer step by step.

A warm future science fiction love movie prototype was made.

A week later.

Zhang Yang and Liu Ming revised the script for many times and finally it was released!

Zhang Yang named this movie: "Becoming Human"

A very appropriate name, which explains the core content of the whole movie.

The two excitedly found Mr. Pu with the refined script.

Zhang Yang took the script and talked to Mr. Pu non-stop.

Mr. Pu frowned as he read it.

"Hmm. Hehe"

After 15 minutes, Zhang Yang finished the script and Mr. Pu understood it.

"How is it, Mr. Pu? Did it perfectly reproduce your opinions? Are all satisfied? This will definitely be a big hit at the box office!"

Mr. Pu nodded and shook his head.

Then he looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's a good thing you brought the script to me in advance, otherwise it would have almost caused a disaster!"

Zhang Yang: "???"

This is the god-like script written by Zhang Yang? ? ?

It sounds good!

And why is the content so profound? Not only do you want to stab me in the back at the box office, but you also want to win awards, right?

Based on Pu's rich experience in watching movies and screenwriting skills.

This is definitely a good movie!

Suitable for all ages!

Science fiction, the relationship between robots and humans, emotions, redemption, ethics. Many elements are combined together, telling a very touching story without creating a lot of intense special effects.

This script is too good!

Pu wiped the mist from the corner of his eyes and asked: "Who wrote this script?"

Zhang Yang subconsciously said: "Of course I wrote it! Pu, you know, I have always been a top screenwriter who has been buried."

Seeing Zhang Yang winking, Pu said that he did not believe it.

"Tell the truth."

"Ah, this." Zhang Yang subconsciously cast his eyes towards Liu Ming who was recording on the side. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Liu Ming winking at him frantically, and then hurriedly said:

"Uh, in terms of creativity, I found a new screenwriter to guide me. Of course, most of the script content was written by me personally, I promise!"

Pu Zong nodded.

That's right!

Zhang Yang wanted to make a good movie, so he went to find someone outside to guide him, and maybe even spent money, just to show off here and then stab him in the back.

Pu Zong suddenly felt a little stuffy.

"Zhang Yang, you have changed."

"You are no longer the confident Zhang Yang. You actually admitted defeat and thought you were no match for those outsiders. You have lost the soul of a top screenwriter."

Zhang Yang: "Ah, this, actually..."

Pu Zong waved his hand: "You don't have to say more! I won't listen!"

"I knew you had changed as soon as I saw this detailed script. You used to just write a piece of paper and dared to tell me that this was a script, but now you have written a complete storyboard! You have become ordinary and become like everyone else."

Zhang Yang opened his mouth wide, not knowing how to refute for a moment.

I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but what Pu Zong said seemed to make sense.

Have I really changed?

I took Liu Ming's ideas and used them myself after hearing them. I had no ability to think for myself and became a bad screenwriter who wrote for others?

The subsequent revisions were also greatly helped by Liu Ming. In the entire script, only about 30% of the content was my own ideas, and most of the rest were Liu Ming's creations.

Pu Zong, who was most familiar with me, obviously saw it at a glance.

President Pu continued, "Zhang Yang, you still don't realize how terrible your potential is! This script can't be said to be bad, but it is still a long way from the work I want. Think about it carefully after you go back, discard this script, and write a story that truly belongs to you, and then show it to me."

"Remember, the script is written for yourself, not for others. I don't need others' approval. I can tell the difference!"

Zhang Yang nodded heavily: "I understand, President Pu. I will go back and write a new one!"

Liu Ming, who was behind, was completely messy in the air-conditioning wind!

Before coming, he had imagined many scenes, some of which were praised by President Pu, some were praised by President Pu, and some were given bonuses on the spot by President Pu. The only thing he didn't expect was that President Pu actually rejected the script directly, and rejected it from an incredible angle.

This script was not written by Zhang Yang, he won't shoot it!

What kind of reason is this?

He clearly saw President Pu's eyes moisten when he saw the last paragraph of the script!

President Pu was moved by this story, but still didn't shoot it?

It's so strange!

Liu Ming felt that there must be something hidden, so he didn't let Zhang Yang reveal his name. He couldn't tell the specific reason, but in this company, there seemed to be a feeling that told him that he should do this.

'However, fortunately, even if this version is rejected, it can be revised again, and the core remains unchanged, and a very interesting movie can still be made. '

'After several optimizations, the story will definitely be more refined'

Liu Ming felt that he and Zhang Yang still had room for maneuver.

As the two were walking out, President Pu suddenly said:

"Well, I suddenly remembered that our movie has a fourth requirement: there must be a plot of aliens invading the earth, not this kind of soft science fiction."

Liu Ming: "."

It's over!

It's all over!

The core has changed!

It was written in vain!

The desert island survival program is being prepared in full swing.

Xiaoxing is already forming a crew to shoot a reality show, preparing to give the desert island survival four-person team a perfect recording.

Bell, the wilderness survival master that Assistant Qi had booked, has also arrived in Kyoto and is staying in a hotel.

Xiaoxing told his assistant: "We are going to shoot a reality show this time, so we must highlight the "real" point. If the survival in the wild is not real, then the selling point of our program will be completely lost."

"Therefore, our camera should be hidden as much as possible. In addition to a photographer who follows the shooting, cameras are set up in advance at various key locations on the island!"

"You will complete this work with a professional team and Bell's wilderness survival team, and try to capture more real shots."

"Finally, there is no script for our program shooting this time! It's all real. Consider all the situations that may occur in advance, and then give a response plan."

"Oh, and there's more."

Xiaoxing held a meeting in the Wanhe Duoyu branch to explain the tasks of this work.

This kind of desert island survival program is much more difficult to shoot than the traditional fixed scene reality show. Many situations are uncontrollable and must be prepared enough in advance.

These days, Xiaoxing and the employees in their department have used up the overtime quota for a whole month. If they work overtime again, they will be notified to the whole company and overtime pay will be paid.

Assistant Qi is also assisting them with various logistical support.

In order to film the show smoothly, Assistant Qi rented a whole passenger ship for them, which can accommodate all members of the filming crew and is equipped with cooking, medical and entertainment facilities.

If you bring enough food and fresh water, it will be no problem to drift on the sea for 3 months.

As the protagonists of this desert island survival, the four-member group also began to make up for the knowledge of wilderness survival in the remaining time, and began to exercise to prevent themselves from collapsing on the island after just two steps.

All the Wanhe Duoyu branch companies were busy.

The time to filming also entered the countdown.

A week later.

A passenger ship carrying a whole crew and 4 desert island survivors with different moods set off!
