Chapter 2780 Star Core Rescue (Forty)
Chapter 2754 Star Core Rescue (Forty)
Eddie started his work. The only thing that made him feel a little uncomfortable was that Schiller insisted on sitting behind him and watching him work.
People who have worked in literary and artistic creation should understand that the most annoying thing is that when you are concentrating on your work, others insist on coming over to take a look. But for the sake of money, Eddie still held his nose and endured it.
To direct a movie, it is not enough to have only these surveillance camera images. First, you need to create a script based on the timeline, then use special effects to restore the scene at that time, and then use the lens to shoot.
So the first job Eddie did was to watch all the surveillance videos and write a draft of the script.
Of course, the first surveillance video was about the invisible man, and it also included some of Robbins' resume. Eddie thought about it and began to write:
"Scene: On campus
Time: After school when people are coming and going
Characters: High school student Robbins and his two good friends
Conversation: Robbins picked up a magical cloak last night. He tried it at home and found that the magical cloak could make him completely invisible, so he invited his two good friends to his home and wanted to use the cloak to play pranks."
Eddie wrote some dialogues casually, and the image of a rebellious teenager and his two friends came to life on paper. The following content was to create their various pranks, teasing teachers and classmates at school, and taking revenge on people who didn't get along with them.
Because this part is not the key, Eddie designed several transitions to shape Robbins's naughty image and fully demonstrate the function of the cloak.
Then the plot turned around. One of the friends' girlfriend was robbed by someone else. He wanted to use the cloak to take revenge on his rival and ruin his party, but Robbins disagreed.
Here Eddie focused on the description of Robbins' expression. His eyes were wide open, his expression was distorted, and there was an inexplicable desire in his eyes. Obviously, this was a foreshadowing buried by the camera.
Neither of them could convince the other, and they parted unhappily, but the best friend sneaked into Robbins' house and stole the cloak.
When Robbins found that the cloak was missing, the emotion he showed was not the anger of being betrayed by his friends, but a deep panic, even madness.
And the friend who took the cloak and wanted to make trouble also encountered trouble. The cloak went out of control at the party, wrapped directly around his rival, and swallowed him.
When the angry Robbins came over, there was only one cloak left at the scene, but he didn't care so much, and wrapped the cloak around himself like a greedy drug addict.
He set off to kill another friend who knew about the cloak. The cloak could only be his.
Robbins, who succeeded, became more and more crazy. He began to let the cloak devour all the people he disliked. Almost all the police in the neighborhood were chasing him, but he didn't care.
He just wanted to know how to make the cloak stronger.
At this time, he got the news that there was more than one cloak. This powerful artifact had a twin brother when it was produced and was stored in the mysterious Himalayas.
Robbins came to the Himalayas to make a scene at the Kamar-Taj headquarters. Finally, under the obstruction of countless wizards, the cloak showed its true face. It turned out that this was Dormammu's conspiracy.
Robbins successfully repelled the wizards and came to the hall where Kamar-Taj stored the treasure, but just when Dormammu's black hand reached out for another treasure, the Supreme Mage came.
After a battle between the two, the Supreme Mage successfully defeated Dormammu. Robbins woke up and learned that he was controlled by the cloak to do something wrong, and felt panic about all this.
However, the Sorcerer Supreme saw in him the talent to control the artifact. He took off his cloak and held it in his hand, and reached out to Robbins, asking him if he was willing to learn more about the secrets of Kamar-Taj.
After the last stroke fell, Eddie looked at his work with great pride. Not bad, not bad, a very complete teenage magic adventure story. Although it is not very novel, it should be very suitable for teenagers.
After all, many young people want to pick up an artifact on the street and then become a superhero. In recent years, there have been many such movies, and the viewing feedback from the youth group has been good.
The Sorcerer Supreme also has many fans. After all, people have always been yearning for the mystery of magic. In addition, the special effects of the Sorcerer Supreme are indeed sufficient. He also fits the stereotype of the wizard in everyone. At the same time, he is also a doctor with superb skills and life-saving. The character setting is full of various attributes. It would be strange if there were no fans following him.
Eddie is sure that this movie will be a hit. Of course, because it is a commercial popcorn movie, making money is considered to have accomplished its mission.
Before he could proudly show the finished script to Schiller, he saw Schiller next to him narrow his eyes and say, "Why did you only write the story of Robbins? What about the rest?"
Eddie was confused by his question and said, "What do you mean by the rest?"
"I gave you so many surveillance videos." Schiller pointed to the computer screen and said, "You only shot the first tenth?"
"Yes, this is the first one." Eddie nodded as a matter of course, but when he saw Schiller's dissatisfied eyes, he had a bad premonition and looked at the screen in shock.
"You don't want me to make a movie out of all these things, do you? "
Schiller nodded.
He actually nodded! Eddie was shocked. How could he nod? !
Eddie was stunned for a long time, and then he remembered that Schiller was not a director and he might not have professional knowledge in this area, so he began to explain to Schiller earnestly.
"Movies are called condensed dynamic art because the length of movies is the shortest among all kinds of image art forms. Except for those art films that are not clear, most movies should not exceed four hours, and it is best to control it within three hours."
"Especially commercial films, because the time is too short, the story must have a clear main line and clear logic, and there cannot be too many side branches, otherwise there will be no focus, which makes people confused. When promoting, they will not be able to grasp the focus and it will be difficult to sell."
"The most important thing for popcorn movies is to tell the story clearly." Eddie pointed to his script and said: I know this story may seem a little naive, but basically every story has its audience. As long as you can tell the story clearly, you can sell tickets to this group of people, at least you won't lose money. "
"Do you want me to make an award-winning art film? Then maybe I can add more of Robbins' psychological activities, or change one of the friends to his girlfriend, and add some subplots such as teenage love troubles. "
Under Eddie's gaze, Schiller shook his head slowly, and pointed at the computer screen very firmly and said: "I hope you can make a movie out of all the surveillance videos."
Eddie was stunned.
He wanted to explain something, but Schiller stopped him directly and said: "I am the investor, listen to me."
What else can Eddie do? He had to watch it with some resignation. The next part of the video tape tells the story of Sandman Baker.
After watching it for a while, Eddie couldn't help but write again, but this time the writing was a bit heavier, because many of the experiences of the Sandman were the reflection of the changes of the times.
"Scene: Brooklyn Street
Time: Noon under the scorching sun
Character: William Baker, wearing simple clothes and holding a job advertisement in his hand
Character Action: William covered his forehead with a job advertisement and squinted his eyes as he shuttled through the busy streets. He accidentally bumped into someone, but he could only apologize to the other person in a hurry because he was going to apply for a job."
After Eddie turned the page, he began to write the first plot twist. In short, the application was not smooth. The current shuttle terminal and the inter-air train transportation dispatch station no longer needed employees like William who did not know new technologies.
William felt very frustrated, and then encountered an accident on the way home. He gained the ability of a sandman. Because he had no job, in order to make a living and to help his equally poor neighbors, he chose to steal things from the construction site and sell them.
But because his newly acquired ability was unstable, he happened to bump into an unlucky security guard who came on patrol, and beat him seriously, and he was also wanted and hunted.
His life became worse and worse. He had no place to live and hid. Because he had no source of income, he could only commit crimes and met Spider-Man in the process.
Later, due to an accident, his ability was completely out of control and turned into a terrifying sandstorm, sweeping all the way from the East Coast to the West Coast. In the end, it was Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America and other veteran superheroes who joined forces and the Avengers assembled to barely stop him.
After he was arrested, everyone thought that he would definitely be in prison this time, including himself, but at this time Spider-Man found him and was willing to help him find a lawyer. With the help of a good lawyer, the case that was initially defined as a terrorist attack was eventually defined as a superpower out-of-control case like the mutant's out-of-control ability, and he himself was given a chance to bail.
But at this time, the misfortune of fate caught up with him again. He had mental problems. When he fell ill, his consciousness was completely unconscious. He was admitted to a mental hospital, where he met an extremely professional psychologist.
Spider-Man often came to see him. The two sat together in front of the window of the mental hospital ward and watched the shuttle whizzing through the sky. During their conversation about the shuttle, William, whose condition had greatly improved, keenly realized that Spider-Man was likely one of the researchers who developed the shuttle. This greatly encouraged him, so during his hospitalization, he began to study new knowledge of electrical engineering, working day and night, tirelessly. Spider-Man also brought him a lot of relevant information to help him acquire new professional skills, and the neighbor he had helped before also came and gave him great comfort. In the end, William walked out of the mental hospital, and later received a notice of approval of his application for employment at the Star Core Space Station. He took his luggage and boarded the last spaceship to work at the space station. After writing, Eddie flipped forward and made a slight revision, revealing a more satisfied expression than when he wrote the story of Robbins before. Sure enough, no director likes to direct commercial films, and this kind of subject matter with a little social discussion is more popular. Eddie handed the book to Schiller, thinking that although the subject matter did not explore the impact of the changing times too deeply, it was easy to understand and resonate with people. As long as the filming technique was not bad, it might still be a hit.
But Schiller shook his head again.
