The trainee starts by splitting bricks with bare hands

Lin Guiyi went through several layers of agents and sponsored a lot of election donations, and then he bypassed their guards and won a theater.

But Liu Rong is different, the rascal kid buys theaters like buying toys, forgive him for not being able to make a fuss.

In fact, the purchase of Luke Cinemas was much cheaper than Liu Rong expected, and it cost less than one billion dollars in total.

After some confidential departments such as finance and personnel arranged for the people borrowed from Tomahawk Entertainment, Liu Rong boarded the plane back to China with Assistant Xu.

It's impossible for him to operate behind the scenes. He has already figured it out now that he can't do this kind of serious management work.

……

……

Compared to Liu Rong, Han Lan is much busier now.

Wang Shenzhi's team had already drafted the script of "The Play of Pulling the Silk", and Han Lan really didn't expect that they would actually turn this v into a movie.

Under the original main plot, many original plots have been added. Looking at the whole script, Han Lan's face is calm, but his heart is panicked.

Because in his memory, he couldn't find a film or television drama or even a work similar to it!

How does this make him think?

Without any successful experience, Han Lan has no confidence to ensure that their film will be popular after it is filmed and released.

"Han Lan? How is it?" Wang Shenzhi looked at him expectantly.

"e... change it again?"

Wang Shenzhi was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "It is true that there are still many problems. Do you have any suggestions?"

"..." Han Lan.

Can I say no?

Of course, you can't say that in person.

Han Lan recalled the Thunderbolt Puppet Show that he had heard about in his previous life. Although he had never seen it, he knew it was a martial arts movie, and it could even be said to be fantasy.

The reasons for each are actually quite understandable. After all, the puppet show’s expression shortcomings are there, and the strengths and weaknesses are exploited, so we can only shoot some large-scale movements as much as possible, and even use some special effects to cover up the shortcomings.

But according to the first version of the script given by Wang Shenzhi, a large part of it is literary and opera.Literary drama means that there are a lot of dialogues and close-ups of expressions, which makes it easier to show the shortcomings of puppets.

Although the current expression of the marionette can be opened and closed, it is obviously impossible to make a rich expression like a real person.

According to the solution provided by Wang Shenzhi, it is to prepare a few more puppet heads, draw specific expressions on them, and use them as replacements when shooting close-up shots.Regardless of the cost, this method still cannot solve the problem of its blunt expression, and it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

For example, if you occasionally take a close-up of a puppet's tearful expression, you can replace it with the puppet's head that was drawn in advance.But what if you want to film the process of crying with joy?It is impossible to prepare a puppet head in one frame, and follow the method of drawing animation by others to make the puppet's expression change effect?A movie has 24 frames per second, how many heads are needed to shoot a movie?

Therefore, in movies, it is definitely necessary to avoid long shots to shoot close-ups of facial expressions, especially those shots with a lot of changes in facial expressions.

The best solution is to play the whole process like a Kung Fu movie.

Han Lan organized his language a little bit, and told Wang Shenzhi his thoughts.

Wang Shenzhi nodded in agreement after hearing this: "If you want to focus on fighting scenes, then the theme of "Drawing the Silk Opera" is useless, after all, you can't add too many fighting scenes."

"Then change it to another one. There are plenty of themes, so it doesn't have to be adapted from "The Silk-Drawing Opera" forcibly."

Wang Shenzhi sighed lightly and said: "I also want to reduce some risks as much as possible. No one has ever filmed the subject of puppet show, and the risk is very high. Because "Drawing the Silk Show" is already popular, if we can make it It is made into a movie, and I believe many fans will like it."

"It's not impossible to take advantage of the popularity of "Drawing the Silk Opera". You don't have to adapt it directly. You can inherit its view of the universe and create a new work." Han Lan laughed.

Following his train of thought, Wang Shenzhi fell into deep thought, and said, "Han Lan, actually, I've always been curious, where did the copywriting of "The Silk-drawing Opera" come from?"

"Copywriting? What's wrong?"

"The style of the whole story is actually very similar to an ancient book, but I didn't find this story in it."

"Ancient books?"

"It's an ancient book that few people know about, but I think you should have heard of it—Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio." Wang Shenzhi said.

Han Lan was stunned for a moment before realizing that there is also "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" in this world?In other words, it seems that there are many ancient works, but there are deviations in modern times.

"Han Lan?" Seeing that he was distracted, Wang Shenzhi called again.

Only then did Han Lan come to her senses, and explained with a smile: "Oh, I did imitate the style of "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio"."

Wang Shenzhi's face suddenly revealed.

Han Lan also thought of it when he reminded him: "Director Wang, do you still remember the boy who listened to the old man tell the story in the story?"

"Oh?"

"We can take him as the protagonist and find a story adaptation from "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio."

Wang Shenzhi nodded slightly: "I also have this idea, but there are many stories in it..."

"Use A Chinese Ghost Story." Han Lan took the lead.

"A Chinese Ghost Story?" Wang Shenzhi didn't react for a while, and looked at Han Lan puzzled.

Han Lan turned on her phone and searched, but found no relevant entries.

By the way, the idea of ​​A Chinese Ghost Story seems to have been made after it was adapted into a film and television drama, and the film and television dramas in this world are too heavily influenced by the West, and the excavation of traditional things is very limited, and no one has filmed Liaozhai yet.It's as if Kung Fu movies were always lukewarm before he dug them up.

And in "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", should this story be called "Nie Xiaoqian"?

Han Lan tried to search for "Nie Xiaoqian" again, and she found it, so she handed him the original classical Chinese work, and explained without blushing, "A Chinese Ghost Story came to me just now, we can use Nie Xiaoqian as my favorite." One is adapted. Ning Caichen, yes, that’s him, the boy who listened to the old man’s storytelling in "The Silk-Drawing Opera" is him."

"That's okay too?"

"Of course! That boy can see things that others can't see since he was a child, and he is destined to have a different fate from others. It makes sense to meet Nie Xiaoqian! Right? It happens that there is Yan Chixia in it, and he will do the martial arts Take it on, fight with the old fox, fight with the tree demon, and some fight scenes can be filmed. And what about the flying sword, all kinds of talismans and golden lights, all for me, and all kinds of magic special effects, the effect of the shooting will definitely not be good Too bad! By the way, the most important point is that the vixen in it, especially Nie Xiaoqian, make it more beautiful and seductive for me, and it should be enchanting and charming enough to make men blush when they see it! It's a puppet, with a very high appearance and figure, so it's not difficult, right?"

"No...no." Wang Shenzhi took a small notebook and wrote it down, feeling that he couldn't keep up with Han Lan's jumping thoughts.

Isn't the protagonist Ning Caichen?

Why did Nie Xiaoqian become the focus all of a sudden?

Wait, what does this have to do with "Drawing the Silk Opera"?

Before Wang Shenzhi could ask any more questions, Han Lan sent him back to make persistent efforts and continue to lead the team to write the script.

Chapter 0495

After dealing with Wang Shenzhi's troubles, Han Lan went to the company's screenwriting department.
