Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 397 Preliminary Thoughts
In the next few days, the initial registration test for "I Am an Actor" was in full swing.

The preliminary registration test period happened to be during the seven-day National Day holiday. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei thought that the thousands of people who came to register for the preliminary test on the first day were already spectacular enough, but during the holiday period, the number of people who came to register for the preliminary test was more and more visible to the naked eye every day.

Obviously, there are a large number of players who take advantage of the holidays to try their luck, but there are only a very small number of people who can really pass the initial test.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi came to the park every now and then to see the situation, cooperate with the publicity, and also took time to accompany Liu Xiaoli to go shopping a few times.

When a family travels in the public, it is inevitable that they will be watched by the onlookers and the photos will be sent to the Internet. The warm scene of a family of three sent a wave of warmth to the audience and fans.

After visiting the park and shopping with Liu Xiaoli, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi spent a happy National Day holiday unpretentiously.

After the National Day holiday, the number of people signing up for "I Am an Actor" decreased day by day.

In the eyes of most people, many people choose the latter between the illusory star dream and the real work and life.

This is also the result of the fact that most people do not have the basic ability to be an actor, and have a clear understanding of themselves. It is expected that they will definitely fail the first test, so it is better to save a lot of travel expenses and watch the excitement at home on TV.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi did not go to the park again after the holiday. They were already familiar with and understood the process of the initial registration test, which satisfied their thirst for knowledge, and the work of cooperating with the publicity had also been completed. In the few days after the holiday, they and Su Chang After the friends got together once, they stayed at home every day.

"In the past few years, many web game companies have closed down because they couldn't find a way to make money."

"Ah."

For the basic knowledge and understanding of the game industry, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also took time to watch it every day, and Liu Yifei also gradually became a fledgling industry insider from the beginning.

This is also thanks to Xinlang. Without such complete and authentic information from Xinlang, they would not have been able to quickly and deeply understand the development information of this industry in line with the market.

"I think this Princess Nihuang is a bit in love, and seems to be in conflict with the personality of the commander of the first army."

"First read the novel, and then clarify the story structure of the novel. If you are interested, then consider how to adapt it. If you don't like the character design, just change it."

"Okay! I still think that Mei Changsu's plot is not bright. The character is set with a high IQ, but I didn't find his intelligence in the plot."

"I also think that the sense of suspense is not enough when it comes to suspense, and the feeling of conspiracy is much worse than those historical dramas."

For the "Langya Bang" recommended by Teacher Kong Sheng, the two of them also took some time to read it every day. Although it was far from finished, it was a novel after all, and it took time to read it.

However, they found a problem, the characters in this novel have bright spots, but the bright spots in the plot are not enough.

During their discussion, record the deficiencies in the novel that each thinks, and if they are really interested in "Langya Bang" at that time, they will discuss it with Kong Sheng.

In this way, the time passed day by day, and the day before the preliminary examination of "I Am an Actor" was approaching, and the day before Chu Xuan was going to accompany Concubine Liu Yi to go to Star City to practice dancing.

——September 10.

In the afternoon, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi were sitting on the sofa in the small villa.

Liu Xiaoli was watching TV, while they were looking at their laptops.

The computer was placed on Chu Xuan's lap, and Concubine Liu Yi folded her legs together and curled up on the right side of the sofa, leaning on Chu Xuan's body leaning to the left, leaning on Chu Xuan's shoulder to watch the computer screen with Chu Xuan.

On the screen is an excel sheet, which contains information on the list of "I Am an Actor" who passed the initial test.

Chu Xuan adjusted the arrangement of the list through the [Graduation College/College] column, and the entire table was neatly arranged according to this column.

"Beiying, Zhongxi, and Shangxi each have about a dozen people." Concubine Liu Yi said with a smile on her face, her eyes revealing some interesting expressions.

"Two-thirds are from professional art colleges." Chu Xuan swiped the form.

"Hey." Concubine Liu Yi sighed slightly: "Compared to people from colleges, it's still a bit unfair for people from non-schools to showcase their talents."

"People from non-universities are amateurs, and people from colleges are also amateurs. They are professionally matched and have skills to pass the preliminary examination. This has nothing to do with fairness." Chu Xuan shook his head.

Concubine Liu Yi nodded: "Well, that's the reason."

Liu Xiaoli turned off the TV with the remote control, and wrapped her hands behind her head with a rubber band to tie her hair: "It's all on the same stage, the same assessment method, the strong get in, the non-strong get out, it's that simple."

Concubine Liu Yi watched her mother turn off the TV and tie her hair, and said, "Have you gone to eat?"

Liu Xiaoli quickly tied her hair in a bun on the back of her head, stood up and said, "Let's go, go to your Sister Hua's house for dinner."

Chu Xuan closed the laptop and put it on the coffee table, and got up and got off the sofa with Concubine Liu Yi.

The family of three went out, turned left and walked to the villa next door.

At Weiyu’s shareholders’ meeting some time ago, Chu Xuan gave Wang Jinhua a rough overview of the company’s future prospects. At that time, Wang Jinhua also said to take some time to chat in detail.

At that time, Chu Xuan was still filming on the set of "Struggle", and after the filming was over, he was faced with the busy time of "I Am an Actor" project. During this time, the siblings had no good opportunity to have a family gathering.

The initial stage of registration for "I Am an Actor" ends tomorrow night, and tomorrow Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi will go to Star City and will not come back until November, so Wang Jinhua invited their family of three to their home for a reunion today.

"Sister, brother-in-law, Zijian." Chu Xuan entered the room, changed his shoes, and greeted Sister Hua's family.

"Brother Chu, sister-in-law Qianxi." Dong Zijian, who was almost 15 years old, greeted.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi couldn't help laughing at his unique title.

"Go and sit down, dinner will be served right away." Dong Zhihua was wearing an apron, and Wang Jinhua, who was also wearing an apron, each carried a plate of food to the restaurant.

Chu Xuan walked around for a while, glanced towards the living room, was a little surprised, and then smiled, "Mr. Han is also here."

Han Sanping sat on the sofa, put the small teacup in his hand on the tea tray, then stood up and walked towards Chu Xuan, smiling lightly, "Come and have a meal."

Chu Xuan nodded. He didn't know about Han Sanping's appearance, but he could guess why Sister Hua called Han Sanping to come.

At the micro-entertainment shareholder meeting at that time, he based on the company's vision for the future is the industrialization of film and television, and the career Han Sanping has been pursuing is also the industrialization of film and television.

Sister Hua called Han Sanping to come, which also means that the theme of this meal has already been established.

"Come, come, sit down, the dishes are ready." Dong Zhihua came with the last dish of chicken soup.

Wang Jinhua took out two bottles of Wuliangye and opened the box. The reason why she drank baijiu was because Han Sanping didn't like other wines and only drank good baijiu.

"Sister Li, when is your flight tomorrow?" Wang Jinhua opened the liquor bottle and asked.

"Tomorrow at noon." Liu Xiaoli replied.

"Then don't rush to catch the plane, drink a little today." Without any explanation, Wang Jinhua poured wine into six two-liang liquor dispensers.

Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli didn't refuse either, and there was really no need to hurry for the plane at noon tomorrow.

The dishes are served and the wine is filled.

"Third brother is visiting my house for the first time, so welcome." Wang Jinhua said.

They didn't even eat any food, except for Dong Zijian, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli, Wang Jinhua, Dong Zhihua and Han Sanping respectively touched their wine glasses, and the six of them drank from their small wine glasses in one gulp.

"The wine is good." Han Sanping put down his glass.

"I will come here often in the future, and I still have it at home." Wang Jinhua scooped up the chicken soup with a big spoon.

Han Sanping raised his forehead slightly, picked up vegetables with his chopsticks, and looked at Chu Xuan: "Xiaoxuan, what do you think about the industrialization of film and television in the bright era, please tell me."

When Brilliant Times Film and Television Company was established last year, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei told their shareholders about the sci-fi project.

In order to get him to give support, Xu Shi deliberately tempted him by using sci-fi movies to try to industrialize the company's film and television.

He has been vividly remembering this incident, and the top figures in the domestic entertainment industry are also aware that the industrialization of film and television is his lifelong pursuit of Han Sanping.

Because of this, he was very interested in the sci-fi project proposed by Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.

If someone else had proposed the plan, he would have laughed it off.

But the person who mentioned it was Chu Xuan, so he took it half seriously.

Chu Xuan started Weiyu, and Zuckerberg, an American who was the same age as Chu Xuan, started Facebook.

With such achievements, the global capital giants will definitely not treat Zuckerberg as a normal young man.

In the same way, people at the top of the country would not treat Chu Xuan as an ordinary 22-year-old young man.

So is he.

Today, he took time out of his busy schedule and agreed to Wang Jinhua's invitation to come to the gathering, because Wang Jinhua talked about the development of the company's film and television industry proposed by Chu Xuan, and he also wanted to hear Chu Xuan's very thoughtful idea. What ideas and ideas do young people have about film and television?

Hearing Han Sanping's question, Chu Xuan was taken aback for a moment, talking about business after taking a bite of the food, which didn't seem to be Han Sanping's style.

Due to the tacit understanding between the two siblings, Wang Jinhua saw through Chu Xuan's thoughts, took a sip of soup and put down the bowl, and said, "Third brother will go around in front of outsiders before he gets to the point, and what he has to say in front of his own people .”

Han Sanping picked up the vegetables and put them in a bowl, and smiled slightly: "You poured dirty water on me again."

Wang Jinhua said with a smile: "This is your usual chatting style, why do you ask me to pour dirty water on you?"

Ever since Brilliant Times began to develop theaters, Wang Jinhua and Han Sanping have had frequent exchanges. Perhaps because of the similarity in their career development concepts, the relationship between the two has become better and better. Wang Jinhua called Han Sanping "Mr. Han" before, and now he is called him "Third Brother" can see this.

Although Chu Xuan is also the boss of Brilliant Times, but because he is often not in the company in his acting career, he has not dealt with Han Sanping many times, so he is naturally not that familiar.

Since Han Sanping went straight to the topic, he also said bluntly according to his own thinking: "I think, first start with the scriptwriting, then serve the way, then the industrial foundation, and finally the post-production process including special effects."

Han Sanping chewed the food in his mouth, looked at Chu Xuan and said, "Let's talk about it."

Seeing that the two sides began to communicate, everyone fell silent.

Whether it is the creation of micro-entertainment, science fiction projects, or follow-up investment plans, Wang Jinhua has always believed that her younger brother is different, and her ideas are farther forward than hers on some levels.

She also knows a little bit about the industrialization of film and television, but she feels that she may not be able to see it more thoroughly than this younger brother.

Liu Xiaoli and Concubine Liu Yi ate quietly and listened at the same time.

As far as Liu Xiaoli is concerned, Chu Xuan's son-in-law and daughter's careers are in harmony, and she, as a mother, naturally wants to hear Chu Xuan's development ideas for the future.

As far as Concubine Liu Yi is concerned, she and Chu Xuan often discuss some things before going to bed. She also knows Chu Xuan's many thoughts and ideas, and this is also their possible future direction, so she listens.

"Let's talk about the screenwriter first." Chu Xuan paused: "The following remarks only represent my personal thoughts."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed.

"Everyone's ideas are different. As long as you haven't practiced it, no one can say whether it is right or wrong. You just say it." Han Sanping said.

Chu Xuan nodded, mainly because the topic of industrialization of film and television is too big. Even if he has an idea, no one has much confidence, and he is the same.

"Sissi and I have experienced the production of "Zhu Xian" and the production of "Hope." Chu Xuan said: "Sissi and I also learned about the script coordination workflow."

"The chief screenwriter designs the outline, writes the story structure of the script through the outline, and then the members of the screenwriting team write the literary script according to the outline and story structure."

"Literary scripts are composed of time, place, and scene descriptions of characters. The core is the description of a large number of lines. If there are special effects, specific descriptions of special effects are required. This is the basic composition of literary scripts."

"Finally, according to the literary script, the screenwriter has to compose each scene and imagine the relationship between the characters and the camera in his mind, so as to write the shot script."

Concubine Liu Yi and Han Sanping nodded slightly, the three of them, including Chu Xuan, were professionals.

"To sum up, screenwriters in the film and television industry are versatile, and it is very difficult to train such a screenwriter." Chu Xuan concluded.

Han Sanping heard something in Chu Xuan's words, and said, "Then what do you think?"

"You can try to decompose the process and refine it." Chu Xuan said without thinking.

"How to break it down? How to refine it?" Han Sanping asked.

Chu Xuan paused, sorting out his thoughts.

Concubine Liu Yi picked up a chicken leg with her chopsticks and put it in his bowl. Seeing this scene, everyone laughed a little.

Chu Xuan said: "The screenwriter who is suitable for writing scenes only writes scenes, the screenwriter who is suitable for writing lines only designs lines, the screenwriter with rich imagination and good writing style only writes special effects descriptions, and the screenwriter with multi-faceted imagination and deep understanding of camera movement is only responsible for the scene script. .”

"We divided the script design stage into four parts, and divided the screenwriting team into four teams. Each team is only responsible for the corresponding work, and finally the chief screenwriting team will coordinate."

"According to the current workflow, a plot draft is submitted by the screenwriter to the screenwriting team for review. If it fails, the draft will be rejected and rewritten. The rejected draft is an overall rejected draft, including literary scripts and shot scripts."

"If we divide the script design into four according to the way I said, if the scene description is not well written, only the scene part will be rejected, and if the lines are not well written, only the line part will be rejected..."

"One is divided into four, and the four teams are responsible for the corresponding parts, which means that the four parts of the script are not related to each other for the time being."

"Temporarily losing the integrity, the content of literary scripts will also be diverse. A plot is no longer written by one screenwriter but by multiple screenwriters, then we can better extract the essence and discard the dross, and be more innovative.”

Chu Xuan expressed his inner thoughts about screenwriting in one breath, and the scene fell into a brief silence.

What Chu Xuan said was very simple and easy to understand, and everyone present understood it after hearing it. It was nothing more than dividing a whole thing, so as to make the work content extremely detailed without interfering with each other.

Han Sanping didn't speak for a long time, thought for a while before saying: "Interesting."

He took a bite of the food, put down his chopsticks, and said, "But in this way, the task that can be completed by a screenwriter team that only needs four or five screenwriters, according to your idea, the number of screenwriters must be expanded by at least three times. Waking up and working can be disorganized."

"So to train screenwriters, we need to set a standard process for screenwriters' work according to my ideas. This is also the process for screenwriters to achieve industrialization." Chu Xuan shook his head and said, Han Sanping said that he had already considered it.

He continued: "Not every screenwriter is omnipotent. Some are good at writing, some are good at writing scenes, some are good at line design, and some have strong spatial imagination and can write better screenplays. .”

"We differ from person to person. I will let you write what you are good at, and you don't need to worry about the rest, just specialize in one direction."

"When we set a standard process, when these screenwriters develop a tacit understanding, the time spent in the script planning stage may be greatly reduced in my expectation."

"The time cost is reduced, and the schedule for the release of film and television dramas is shortened. Film and television dramas can make money faster, and the next project can be started immediately after making money. This is the purpose of film and television industrialization to speed up the production efficiency of film and television dramas."

"Improved efficiency, if things go on like this, then the investment in screenwriting costs will not be worth mentioning."

Han Sanping nodded: "As long as the purpose of speeding up production efficiency can be achieved, the investment in screenwriters is nothing, but if you want to train screenwriters in this way according to your ideas, you must let the screenwriters play their roles honestly and listen to your arrangements. , Brilliant Times wants to give screenwriters a stable income, and we must know that the income of most screenwriters in China today is not stable."

"I know." Chu Xuan said: "The wages are raised, so that they can live in the capital without worrying about food and housing. Bright Times can still afford it."

Han Sanping glanced at Wang Jinhua, a little interested and moved, and said: "Jinhua, you can try it. I have considered the idea of ​​splitting up the script before, but it is not as comprehensive as Xiaoxuan's. Whether it can be done is unknown. But it's worth experimenting with."

Wang Jinhua thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Xiaoxuan and Qianqian have a science fiction plan, so let's discuss their plan together."

She looked at Chu Xuan: "If it works, then we will use Xiaoxuan, you and Qianqian's sci-fi movie as a pilot, and the overall planning of the script will be handed over to Liu Yi, and let him and you lead a group of screenwriters to experiment with Xiaoxuan, your screenwriting industrialization idea."

Although she is not a professional, she also understands the general process of Chu Xuan's concept of industrialization of screenwriting. With the current strength of Brilliant Times, it is not difficult to raise a group of screenwriters.

As before, she had no choice in her mind to support Chu Xuan with all her strength.

""Hope" is already very well-known at present, when you are all busy with the variety show, let's take some time to discuss it together." Han Sanping said.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi nodded together with Wang Jinhua.

"Continue?" Han Sanping ate his food, looked at Chu Xuan and said.

Chu Xuan's idea of ​​screenwriting industrialization is not aimless, it is well-founded and feasible, which not only makes him look up to Chu Xuan again, but also becomes more interested in Chu Xuan's all-round film and television thinking.

"Cough." Chu Xuan coughed dryly, and said, "Currently, I don't have enough experience. Fuhua Dao and other things are just a rough idea, and I haven't thought of a possible plan for practice. Let Qianqian and I study for a few more years."

Having said that, everyone smiled slightly.

Concubine Liu Yi and Chu Xuan looked at each other. Chu Xuan told the truth, as producers, what she and Chu Xuan experienced the most was the planning stage of the script. The energy to participate, so apart from the design of the script, they are really stretched in other aspects.

"But I have a general framework." Chu Xuan said again: "I think that by successfully setting the standard process for script coordination and service transformation, Bright Times can realize the initial industrialization of film and television."

"When the bright era has the production capacity of industrial infrastructure, then the industrialization of film and television will advance to the stage of development."

"Achieve the above two points, and in the end, when Brilliant Times can realize post-production and special effects production and also have a standard process, then Brilliant Times will completely succeed in the industrialization of film and television."

Han Sanping took a sip of wine with Wang Jinhua, put down his glass, and seemed a little excited: "Your idea of ​​the framework is similar to mine. But let me ask you, what is the production capacity of industrial infrastructure in the bright era?"

Faced with this problem, Chu Xuan said bluntly: "Our country's heavy industry and electronics manufacturing industry are still quite weak in this regard, which is a fact."

"For example, the three-axis mechanical boom over there in Hollywood."

"Automated wire installed on the roof of the studio."

"Ground slide rails that can realize multiple combinations of changing directions and speeds, and slide rail cars with high stability."

"Director monitors and small monitors that accept camera feeds with virtually no lag, and custom full-color LEDs that accept camera feeds in ultra-high definition."

"Not to mention 3D cameras."

Chu Xuan spread his hands: "We don't have these things, and they won't sell them to us. On the basis of industry, we can only wait for the country to develop, and then Brilliant Times will play an important role in it."

"We must have our own heavy industrial machinery production plant, and our own manufacturing electronic equipment production plant. We must let these two industrial infrastructure bases, according to our needs, according to the needs of film and television drama shooting, design and produce completely for Equipment for the film and television industry."

"If we can achieve this step, we will have the foundation to completely complete the industrialization of film and television, and we will have the greatest voice in this industry."

With a "snap", Han Sanping patted the table happily, and praised Chu Xuan: "Xiaoxuan, you can think about this aspect, and you can think so thoroughly, I admire you!"

He said to Wang Jinhua: "These industrial equipment are the core of the industrialization of film and television. Xiaoxuan is really good. He can think of this and grasp the key points. We must let Brilliant Times participate in it and seize the right to speak in the industry."

Wang Jinhua raised her forehead slightly, hearing what Han Sanping said, and getting Han Sanping's appreciation, she looked at Chu Xuan with pride and admiration.

The same is true for Liu Xiaoli, it is completely the way a mother-in-law looks at a good son-in-law.

"Xiaoxuan, come, drink." Han Sanping raised his glass.

"Mr. Han, I respect you." Chu Xuan held the cup.

But Wang Jinhua said: "What is it called Mr. Han, it is called the third brother."

Chu Xuan paused, seeing Han Sanping's smiling face, Chu Xuan glanced at Concubine Liu Yi, and Concubine Liu Yi immediately picked up the wine glass knowingly: "Third brother, Chu Xuan and I respect you."

Han Sanping didn't say much, he clinked wine glasses with the two young men and drank it down in one gulp.

"Xiaoxuan, Qianqian, when you have a comprehensive idea, you can call me to talk to me at any time." He said.

"Okay." Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi agreed.

What I'm talking about today is just Chu Xuan's preliminary thoughts. A comprehensive idea requires two people to have enough experience and experience in growing up in this area.

The industrialization of film and television in line with national conditions is a long way to go, and it is destined to be a road that the two of them need to explore with patience and hard work.

Whether it will be successful in the future is unknown.

However, the unknown is what is interesting.

Xu Shi drank wine, Xu Shi shared the same ideas, Xu Shi Han Sanping recognized Chu Xuan's talent again, and this talent was closely related to his pursuit, Han Sanping and Chu Xuan couldn't help calling each other brothers and chatting happily.

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that everyone dispersed happily.

Han Sanping wanted to stay and talk to Wang Jinhua about the movie theater. The family of three had to leave for Star City tomorrow. They had just drank some wine and had to rest early today, so they got up and said goodbye.

"Sister, third brother, let's go first."

"Have a smooth journey tomorrow. I wish you all the best at the Golden Eagle Festival. My third brother and I are waiting for your good news."

"Good!"
