Chapter 475: screenwriter

After making the plan, Liu Huaxing did what he said, and it just happened that there was more idle time recently. This day I went out for an appointment with Yang Xiaoxiao. I went to the restaurant to help in the evening and picked up the oranges and went home. Everything that should be done was done. Liu Huaxing did not lie in bed with Yang Xiaoxiao to rest, but went to the computer to start. Wrote the script.
In this regard, he also has certain contacts. Before in high school, he worked with Ye Hongmei to adapt a script, and he also worked with entertainment companies several times in songwriting, so it is no problem to contact people in the entertainment circle to find cooperation.
But the subject matter of the work is the key. It is 2012. The most popular movies in the next few years are superheroes or superheroes. Marvel occupies more than half of the film and television industry, and most of the remaining works are quickly forgotten. .
However, there are exceptions. After all, the domestic market is different from foreign countries. He naturally cannot aim to enter Hollywood from the beginning, so he must focus on the domestic market. In the domestic market, one of the most popular comedies in the next few years will be the low-cost comedy close to life, such as "Man on the Road", and the other "Wolf Warrior" such as "Wolf Warrior".
So how to choose the subject matter? In fact, Liu Huaxing already has the answer, and that is to create his own "wolf-like superhero", which naturally combines the two most popular elements in the future.
However, the difficulty of success for original superheroes is also very high. The reason why Marvel is successful is because they have had decades of comic basis to enhance the popularity of those superheroes before filming, but Liu Huaxing has to start from scratch. Then naturally you have to start with the introduction of the abilities of each "superhero", which is too much trouble.
A lot of space will be wasted, not to mention, original superpowers are also a very troublesome point. After all, so many superheroes, all kinds of superpowers, from wind, fire, thunder and lightning to 72 changes, have already appeared. We must innovate in ability. How difficult.
But what is a superhero? People who are stronger than normal humans. In this case, create a "superpower" that everyone knows is not necessary, and turn superheroes into "special forces" is the same effect, as long as it makes people feel that they are much stronger than ordinary people.
So Liu Huaxing created such a background story. There is a mysterious organization called "Dragon" in China. There is a group of trained special forces in China. Some of them are good at close combat, some are good at long-range sniping, and some are proficient in the wild. Survival, some are masters of stealth and assassination, and the task of this group of people is to protect China's safety from various "uncommon" enemies.
After confirming the subject matter, Liu Huaxing began to write quickly. Because of his previous foundation, his writing speed was still very fast. There is not much to do during the seven days of National Day, so you can calm down and write well.
During the November holiday, Liu Huaxing and Yang Xiaoxiao had no plans to go out, because there were too many people outside, and they had to go to the restaurant for shifts at night, so they stayed at home during the day. Liu Huaxing took advantage of this effort to write the manuscript at home, and at the same time discussed with Ye Hongmei about his idea of ​​the script, but Ye Hongmei could not actually help.
Ye Hongmei is good at ethical love movies, and has not involved action movies and sci-fi movies, so she couldn't help herself in this regard, so she recommended a friend of her to Liu Huaxing. He is not a well-known director in the entertainment industry, but he has also made several well-known movies, and his field of expertise is violent aesthetics and gunfight movies.
Liu Huaxing showed his script to the other party, and the advice given by the other party is also very realistic: "If you are a well-known screenwriter, or if the book is already well-known, this script may be a big hit, but if you If you want to directly start shooting with such a script, it will definitely not be popular, because no one will invest at all."
This society is very realistic. There is no story of Bole and Chollima. Only horses that have ran a thousand miles will be appreciated, not horses that can run a thousand miles will be appreciated, because many Chollimas even run one. There is no chance for a thousand miles. In other words, only well-known works will be valued. No one cares about the potential of this work, because no one wants to do Bole, everyone just wants to make money.
In fact, Liu Huaxing had already experienced the answer given by the other party many times, so he could also understand that what he wanted to seek was a solution. And the other party did give him a way out. He gave Liu Huaxing the contact information of the director of the web drama.
Web dramas have just begun to be implemented this year, but they are not very popular, and there are not many excellent works. They can only be said to be "make people shine." But for Liu Huaxing, this is indeed a feasible solution.
However, according to the scale of the web drama, the length and diversity of the work should be adjusted appropriately.
There were only two days left in the blink of an eye during the long holiday of November, but Liu Huaxing didn't feel depressed at all, but was excited.
That night, he was still sitting in front of the computer writing as before, while Yang Xiaoxiao was watching the drama behind him.
"Humph." Yang Xiaoxiao chuckled at this moment, and suddenly put her beautiful leg on his shoulder.
"What's the matter, cute?" Liu Huaxing asked with a kiss on her beautiful calf, and Yang Xiaoxiao smiled triumphantly: "I just feel very happy, seeing the light in your eyes again."
"When will you see the light flashing in my eyes?" Liu Huaxing asked curiously.
"That's..." Yang Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "When you made a new set menu in my dad's restaurant, and when you played basketball once. You rarely do this, and you are fully absorbed and committed. Do one thing."
"Then when I pet you? Is there any light in the eyes?" Liu Huaxing put his face on the little girl's legs, and the skin on her legs was also very delicate.
"At that time, the light was different. The light in your eyes was very soft when you were dating me." Yang Xiaoxiao replied with a smile, "But now your eyes have that kind of...very focused and joyful light, just It seems that you are doing something very happy. I like to see you like this, and I hope you can do what you like to do."
"Huh..." Liu Huaxing smiled, then kissed her little feet, "I'll have together later."
Indeed, Liu Huaxing rarely feels this way. He used to do many things with the idea of ​​"should do this" instead of "want to do this", but now it is different. He has rarely found his passion.
Probably because this is his original work. Although it refers to the characteristics of some future works, it is only imitated from the style, and the content is all created by him. The most important thing is that he thinks this is a challenge. He knows that he can do a lot of things in the past, even without reading files. But this matter, he is not sure whether he can do it, he can only say that he will do it hard, and if he can't do it, he can find a way to do it through certain methods or reading files.
Think about it carefully, the network drama is indeed very suitable for his work "fajia". On the one hand, the cost of creating web dramas is lower, and on the other hand, the shooting speed of each episode of web dramas is also faster. Generally, one episode can be produced in a week, and the result is very fast, unlike making movies.
After making a film, after discussing the script, sponsor, find actors, confirm the venue, and shoot the film, report to the review after the completion of the film. After the review is passed, the film will be released. The box office will be counted one month after the film is released, and then the performance of the film can be confirmed. It takes at least a year for a movie to see the results, and Liu Huaxing has no patience now.
But correspondingly, the content of writing will also be subject to many restrictions due to the factors of online dramas, such as making the content length of each episode just right, while not requiring too many special effects. In short, it is necessary to reduce all possible costs.
The content of the first episode is very important. Liu Huaxing intends to let the audience know the capabilities and main tasks of the members of the "Dragon" organization directly and clearly through the content of the first episode, but also to give the "wolf fighting style" style to the audience. Reflected.
Therefore, the first episode of the story is set to take place at the border between Myanmar and China. A group of murderous mercenaries from Myanmar launched an attack on the border area. The mercenary team consisted of more than 30 people, specially trained and a lot of heat. The weapon, suspected of being encouraged and funded by some foreign organizations, caused considerable losses to China's border guards, and fled after looting the materials.
On the way to escape, they were blocked by several members of the "Dragon" organization in the forest on the border.
After that, the members of the "Dragon" organization showed their talents, sneaking, assassinating, trapping, long-range sniping, and close combat. But because they are all special forces, there is no need for special effects, just some firearms props and simple self-made traps, and the cost will not be very high.
After finishing the script for the first episode, Liu Huaxing eagerly sent the script to the director of the online drama, Ke Cheng.
Over the years, Liu Huaxing has also rarely experienced the feeling of "excited and unable to sleep". He lay on the bed and hugged Yang Xiaoxiao, but he couldn't calm down, looking forward to the other party's response.
"Oh, I'm going to bed soon. These things can't be done overnight. It's eleven o'clock, and they might be asleep too." Yang Xiaoxiao gently patted his cheek beside him and persuaded, "Wait for tomorrow. People may have already responded to you when they get up, be good...
"Hmm..." Liu Huaxing replied, took a deep breath and closed his eyes, intending to feel the fragrance of Yang Xiaoxiao, and then fell asleep in the arms of the little girl. But after a while, Liu Huaxing's phone vibrated. He took out his cell phone and looked at it. The person who called was "Ke Cheng". At that time, he sat up excitedly, and then went to the balcony to get the call.
"Hello, hello." Liu Huaxing tried his best to control his emotions and replied in a calm tone.
"Hello, is it'Zifeiyu'?" The other party's tone was also very excited, "I have watched the first episode you sent, and I have to say, the writing is really great! After watching it My whole person is really passionate! Especially in the last scene, the agent codenamed "Dragon Tooth" pointed the gun at the head of the mercenary boss, and then said that line..."
As he said, the other party said in a cold and arrogant tone: "Those who offend my Chinese will be punishable even if they are far away! Bang!" Then, the other party seemed to tremble: "Wow...! It's really...you get goose bumps when you think about it. Now! This picture feels great!"
"Then, are you interested in cooperation?" Liu Huaxing asked curiously.
"Well..." Ke Cheng hesitated, causing Liu Huaxing to sink in his heart, but the other party immediately explained: "I am actually very cooperative, but... to be honest, this drama is in my hands, maybe It will be ruined."
The other party then explained in detail. In fact, Kecheng meant that if this script were filmed at a higher cost, it would definitely have a better response, but the cost and limitations of the network drama have violated this script a bit. a feeling of. So what Kecheng meant was that Liu Huaxing had better find some more famous directors to cooperate with, and they could get more investment.
"Hmm..." Liu Huaxing groaned and asked, "Then how much do you think is more appropriate?"
"Well, if it is the length of the script, I should watch an episode of about 30 minutes. If it is the cost, if there are 500,000 (per episode), I think it will be able to shoot very well. Now." Ke Cheng said in a deep voice.
The two sides discussed it, but Liu Huaxing still tends to cooperate with Kecheng. After all, it is not easy to meet someone who appreciates him, so the problem now is the cost.
The cost is mainly on the actors. First of all, a sufficient number of group performances are required. In addition, the acting skills of the leading actors and villains are also very important, but these can be solved by digging out new talents. After all, web dramas are born to provide stage for those second- and third-line actors who are not too popular. They are just costumes and props. These costs cannot be lowered.
"Let’s see if I can rely on this script to get some more sponsorships. I personally think this script is excellent. Of course, there are some flaws in the artistic composition of the script, but the content of the plot is definitely first-class. This kind of picture and atmosphere...If you can achieve the desired effect, it will surely be an instant success, as long as one episode is enough." Ke Cheng replied.
"Well, in terms of sponsorship, I will also think of ways." Liu Huaxing nodded and said.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Huaxing went back to the bed and lay down again.
But before he knew it, he and Ke Cheng had been chatting for more than an hour, and Yang Xiaoxiao seemed to have fallen asleep.
"How about the stars?" Yang Xiaoxiao asked, shrinking into his arms.
"Isn't asleep yet?" Liu Huaxing asked with a touch of her hair, and Yang Xiaoxiao rubbed his face with his little head, "Well, because I want to wait for you..." Then, Yang Xiaoxiao looked up Looking at him and asking, "What happened?"
"After all, it's about money." Liu Huaxing sighed in his heart, but instead of saying it, he smiled: "There is still a little problem, but I will solve it."
Liu Huaxing is not very good at sponsoring this kind of thing, but he still has some contacts. For the causes planted in the past, now is the time to reap the fruits.
