Disaster Artist

In fact, when he first read the script, Jiang Haowen felt a little strange, and he couldn't tell the reason for a while, and it was only now that Lu Qian pointed it out.

"director!"

Jiang Haowen was simply shocked.

"You have discussed so in-depth since you came up, what should I do if I can't catch up?"

Seeing Jiang Haowen's calm appearance, the smile on Lu Qian's mouth rose.

"Yes, I'm also a little puzzled. Why did your company send you here? It should be a combination of producer and screenwriter, right?"

"Because we have a relationship."

"Are you saying that you rejected my friendship in the first place?"

"director……"

Looking at Jiang Haowen's embarrassed appearance, Lu Qian knew that Jiang Haowen was really sorry. It seems that it shouldn't be that simple for Damen Films to refuse to "unfriend", but Lu Qian didn't plan to pursue it. People don't have everything. Answers Not everything has to have an answer.

"Thank you for your refusal, and thank you for your referral. That's why I can point fingers at you now."

Lu Qian teased Jiang Haowen with a light joke.

Jiang Haowen laughed immediately.

"Director, do you mean that this script needs to be revised?"

"Actually, from the perspective of context, there is no problem with such a setting, and the audience will definitely be happy, but that kind of strange but inexplicable logical conflict is likely to form a psychological suggestion, which will have some impact on the subsequent box office. impact; and it shouldn't be the same as the genre that the audience wants to see."

"So, how do you think it should be revised?"

"Ha, then this question stumped me."

Lu Qian did not say that he could modify it, not because of humility, but because the entire script framework has its own context and cannot be modified at will.

Lu Qian once heard such a statement, that is, the characters in literary creation have vitality, and when faced with a choice, he will break away from the author's brushstrokes and make his own choice.

What does it mean?

In fact, it is the author who gives the character vitality, and then along with the development of the story, the character has its own edge and style, just like Hao Sijia in "Gone with the Wind". Her arrogance and narcissism have long laid the groundwork for love. The choice of life can be seen. If the author must make a "rebellious" choice to change Hao Sijia's decision, then the character will collapse.

Therefore, in an excellent work, every choice made by the character can be seen behind the context, as if it is not under the control of the creator.

This is true of literature, and so is film.

If the audience is watching a movie, but suddenly finds that the choice of the character deviates from their expectations, or is inexplicably unable to see the reason, then the creator did not give enough ink to inject the soul when creating the character; otherwise, every Decisions should be life-affirming.

In the project Jiang Haowen just discussed, although Lu Qian could feel the logical conflict, he guessed that according to the context and framework of the script, the ending of the story is doomed, because this is the original intention of the creator, if he forces If you change the follow-up, then you must break the entire original framework——

What's the point of doing so? It is basically equivalent to re-creating a script and reborn.

No need, really no need.

"Instead of modifying, it is better to replace a concept."

Lu Qian said, and Jiang Haowen also lit up.

From the computer desktop narrative technique of "unfriending" to the game-level action design of "raid", Lu Qian has twice demonstrated his ability to bring new ideas to the existing narrative routines, and more importantly, to show himself The execution ability is undoubtedly the most admirable and most anticipated.

"In the original story frame, it was mainly about discussing the current chaos and being detained behind the line, but the so-called justice seems to have disappeared, and the anger hidden in everyone's heart tried to vent, but in the end it caused chaos , the ending is back to square one, reminding people that they still need to stick to their boundaries, right?"

Jiang Haowen tilted his head slightly. The story was summed up by Lu Qian, which made it even more strange.

But Jiang Haowen still nodded in agreement, waiting for Lu Qian to continue.

"So, what if the authorities agree that people can let out this kind of hostility to their heart's content?"

"Huh?" Jiang Haowen didn't understand, he blinked, thinking he had missed some key words.

Lu Qian further explained, "We didn't just say that people still need to stick to the boundaries, so the story goes back to the original point, which means that the problem has not been solved, but if I say that people still have to stick to the boundaries, but the official allows the boundaries. What about indulgence and sin within?"

"Assuming that today, December 20th, the official regulations, starting from seven o'clock in the evening, for the next twelve hours, all crimes are legal and do not need to accept any legal sanctions."

"You can do justice and go to punish what you think is the criminal; you can also commit a crime and release your darkest thoughts. But there are only twelve hours, and once it's seven o'clock in the morning, all actions must be Stop or it will be a crime again."

"What do you think will happen?"

In the time and space that Lu Qian is familiar with, this story is called "Human Removal Plan", because the subject matter is special and the concept is novel. After the "Chainsaw Horror" series ended, it became a brand new "Release Evil" series, and the sequel has been filmed until the fifth episode. , and the box office revenue can still be realized.

Objectively speaking, the concept of "Human Removal Plan" is very special and very bold, and it can even be said to be shocking, but the quality of the finished product is unsatisfactory. It has become a simple and rude B-level plasma movie, and it is completely unable to show the depth and height of the high concept.

But in a word, the concept is really amazing.

Just now when Jiang Haowen was explaining the idea of ​​the script~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Lu Qian thought of this series of works for the first time, and deepened it——

With official permission, within twelve hours, all crimes are allowed, so how should the story unfold?

The inspiration in Lu Qian's mind was like a spring.

In the first story of the "Human Removal Project" series, the screenwriter consciously narrowed the perspective and placed it directly on the family's plight, and finally became a plasma film of murder in a secret room. concept; instead, it entered the second part, opened up the space, let the crime enter the street, and outlined the scene of fire everywhere, but brought more surprises.

However, Lu Qian will not write the script like this, it is not like the first or the second.

Before Lu Qian could continue speaking, he could see Jiang Haowen's penguin-like expression.

"O".

Jiang Haowen opened his mouth again, stunned, unable to make any sound, his whole brain stopped spinning in a real sense, as if it had crashed.
