Chapter 303 South View South View Released! (Second more please subscribe!)
On March 3th, Tang An received Xu Zheng in the studio. In more than a month, he had completed the first draft of the crew. Of course, it was only a rough first draft, and he could roughly tell what kind of story it was.

Of course, this script is not about storytelling, there are no lyrical sentences, rhetorical devices and psychological descriptions of characters.

Literature and scripts are completely different. A script uses words to express a series of pictures.

Let people who read the script immediately associate with a picture when they see the text, bringing them into the world of animation.

It took Tang An nearly an hour to finish reading the script, and counted the pages, about [-] words.

The number of words in a script is also very important. Generally, the number of words in a movie script is between [-] and [-] words. If it is less, it will take too little time, and if it is too many, it will be procrastinated.

After all, movies are not like TV dramas, which can drag the rhythm. Later, many people watched those TV dramas at double speed, and some even opened it at 1.5 times.

A [-]-word movie script does not even produce as many pictures as a [-]-word TV drama script.

In the West, the mainstream standard movie script is generally 120 pages, which is equivalent to 120 minutes in length. No matter whether there are many dialogues or descriptions, one minute per page is basically the same.

A page in a script is equivalent to 1 minute on the screen. The Hollywood film industry strictly requires an industrial system to make it, just like an assembly line, with a complete process.

It usually takes ten pages to let people know who your main characters are, what is the premise of the story, and what is the situation of the story.

These 10 minutes are for the audience to form an impression and also determine the initial perception of the movie.

Then it is divided into the first act, the second act, and the third act. The general ratio is 1:2:1, that is, establishment, confrontation, and ending.

These are the most basic, and will be subdivided in the middle.

Just like online literature, readers like to watch the protagonist pretend to be aggressive. Some books can still be read with gusto even though the routine is clichéd, the writing style is average, there are many typos, the logic is illogical, and the lack of common sense.

Even if more books have fewer shortcomings, they will still be boring to read.

In the transition from beginning to end, the rhythm is very important.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything. Some directors have only a few sheets of script, claiming that they have no script, and they don't even use a shot script.

Start with one mouth, and make up the rest.

Xu Zheng's script is very standard, and the history is always surprisingly familiar. Xu Zheng still chose Thailand, and the storyline that happened in Thailand is basically the same.

Watching Tang An put down the script, Xu Zheng quickly asked, "Mr. Tang, what do you think?"

This is the first time he has completed a script independently, except that he asked Yang Qing for some advice when filming "Nightclub".

"It's a very interesting story. I think some scenes are very funny when I recall them in my mind." Tang An affirmed with a smile.

Xu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew what Tang An would say next.

as predicted.

"However, your script is a bit hollow."

Tang An leaned forward a little, and preached to him, "The confrontation between the contradictions in the middle is well grasped, so I won't talk about this, and mainly talk about the establishment and ending of the beginning."

The rhythm in the middle is not bad, Xu Lang goes shopping with Wang Bao, and helps Wang Bao to realize his N travel plans → strays into the underworld trading scene → escapes from the underworld → Xu Lang scolds Wang Bao away → long shot shows rain →Xu Lang and Wang Bao went to the village→Wang Bao poured water on Xu Lang's computer.
The rhythm is relaxed and well controlled.

"The beginning is where you show the contradictions. What you need to do at the end is to solve the contradictions. The contradictions of the three male protagonists, as well as the internal contradictions of Xu Lang's family, between business and family, you are not outstanding enough."

"Only when the problem is solved can the audience feel happy. For example, Xu Lang strayed into the room of a man and two ladyboys and was caught by the man on the spot. A conflict arose. The way to solve it was for the man to beat Xu Lang hard in the face. One punch and the conflict is resolved."

"In the end, you have to perfectly resolve the conflicts between Xu Lang and his wife, Wang Bao, and Wang Bo. This is still a macro contradiction, and there are some subtle contradictions, such as Wang Bo's toothache in the script, and his wife's smooth sailing." Production, you forgot to mention it."

Xu Zheng listened to Tang An's explanation very seriously, and did not despise him because of his youth.

He has no right to underestimate him. Based on Tang An's achievements in the past few years, I don't know how many directors in China imagine him asking for advice.

And what Tang An said was very reasonable. He also thought about the beginning and end of "People on the Journey", and it was indeed as Tang An said.

"Mr. Tang, I understand. I'll go back and revise the script right now, and I'll show it to you for review later."

"It's okay. There's no rush. Take your time. I only have one request. Make the movie well and it will be released during the Spring Festival next year." Tang An said with a smile.

Then Tang An went to Huayi in the afternoon, and talked to Wang Zhongjun about the election of the next four young actresses. Huayi was basically not qualified for the new generation of actors, so he also agreed to help.

Then Tang An approached Zhu Mo, Director of Propaganda Department, and Zhang Yijun, Director of Public Relations Department, and contacted some domestic media.

Tang An went to meet with the four major portals and some well-known media in person. This election was led by Tengxun, with hundreds of media participating, and the voting rights were all in the hands of those reporters.

It must be very difficult for Tang An to promote a third-tier starlet, but the two people he mentioned are absolutely qualified, basically nothing will go wrong.

Then Tang An went to CCTV again, this time CCTV will also participate in the selection, and will report on this "Post-80s New Generation Entertainment Star Activity".

At the same time, the new four big and small students will be selected. This is meaningless. It was just selected in 06. If you want to choose male stars born in the 80s, you will hardly find a few.

What's even more ridiculous is that the four majors have been selected four times in the five years from 12 to 16 years, and the later it is, the more useless it becomes.

Tang An went to Hengdian again at the end of the month to visit Yang Mi who was filming "Beauty's Scheming".

This time Yang Mi played the second female lead in it, and she played three roles, which avoided filming a rape scene.

Although there are many sexy shots, they are not much more revealing than one-piece swimsuits.

This role is quite challenging. At this time, Yang Mi's acting skills are not bad, and it's a TV series, so I can handle it.

At the beginning of April, Tang An officially started the post-production. Some preparatory work in the early stage has been done, and it is enough to start cutting directly.

On April 4st, the rough cut was completed in 21 days. At this time, Lu Chuan's "Southern View of the South" was about to be released. Star Beauty Media also sent him an invitation letter for the premiere, and Tang An went to Check out this old friend.

PS: Recently, there seems to be more palace dramas in the Qing Dynasty, such as "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" and "Story of Yanxi Palace". Does anyone know which emperor in the Qing Dynasty did not film it? Kang Yongqian has finished filming-_-||
