Disaster Artist

Lu Qian is retreating.

The preliminary work of the scripts of "Human Removal Plan" and "Quick Pursuit" have been basically completed by Lu Qian. Now the script framework is handed over to Jiang Paifeng and Hou Xiaochuan's own screenwriters to continue to complete the creation. After the creation is completed, Lu Qian met with the screenwriting team again to discuss revisions.

It is worth mentioning that both directors recommended their own screenwriting teams, but obviously Hou Xiaochuan is more cautious, careful and more dedicated. Personality is one reason, and the series trilogy is a whole is another reason.

Of course, whether it was Jiang Paifeng or Hou Xiaochuan, the two directors were unhappy for a long time, and this time they finally got the opportunity to take charge of the director tube, and both of them were ready to do a good job——

Even if it's not for Lu Qian's appreciation, it's also to prove himself in front of film critics and let out a bad breath.

Therefore, the preparatory work of the crew was in full swing and step by step, and Blue Whale Pictures was operating at a high speed again.

As for Lu Qian, he was finally able to take a break for a while. He did not need to think about the work of the producer, but devoted himself to the project he was about to direct:

"tourist".

In Ji Xu's words, "I've worked so hard for so long, and now I should take a good vacation."

He hoped that Lu Qian could go to some unknown island to dive for a rest. After all, the busyness of the recent period has indeed consumed a lot of money, and he was worried that Lu Qian would be overworked.

But in Lu Qian's words, "I've been busy for so long, but it's not a project I directed, so I don't do it."

He needs a work that truly belongs to him, even if he is busy, he can enjoy it, and even if he is hard, he can also enjoy it.

Objectively speaking, the script creation of "Human Removal Plan" and "Quick Pursuit" are not that complicated, at least the first stories are relatively simple, and more need to be subtracted, like "unfriend" and "raid" Again, bring the audience into it within a limited set of characters, stories, and frameworks.

For Lu Qian, the workload of creating two script frameworks is not too big. After all, the really tedious parts of the lines are done by others.

The script of "Tourist" is different, not only because Lu Qian needs to complete the creation of the whole story by himself, but also because the tone of the whole film is different.

At first, Lu Qian thought that it was not difficult to create a script. The first and second parts of "Unfriending", "Raid", "Human Removal Plan", and "Quick Pursuit", he has also created five The script, "tourists" should not be difficult.

Anyway, I already have the framework and context of the script in my mind, I just need to fill in the flesh and blood.

However, Lu Qian soon discovered that this was not the case.

The most direct difference from commercial films is that art films often need a core with a space for aftertaste, and in the "tourist" project, Lu Qian needs to ponder the lines carefully, and also needs to conduct in-depth research on the characters, and even A line and a performance need to find the context.

No easy task.

When the audience watches the movie, the synopsis of the story can be retold, but can the lines also be recited throughout?

Obviously not. Don't say that I have recited the whole text, I am afraid that the bridges of more than three dialogues will not be able to be fully recited word for word.

But the key is here. The lines are the flesh and blood of the script. Even if you have a "skin and skeleton", if you don't have fresh flesh and blood to fill it up, the audience will still be unable to feel the "soul" of the script. It is precisely this soul that needs to be shown.

The importance of lines is far beyond imagination.

In the previous five scripts, the lines are not that important, the plot and characters are the key, especially the "raid", basically fighting all the way to the end, under the inherent framework, Lu Qian can fill in the lines according to his own ideas, it is a little simple Some random and some won't matter.

But not "tourists".

Even if you can't do it every word, you should show the edges and corners of the characters and the depth of the plot through the lines.

This is the first time that Lu Qian has challenged a script that focuses more on depth. The entire creative process is completely different, from the framework to the context, from the characters to the plot, and the lines directly presented to the audience. How should these be intertwined and integrated? Can you lift weights lightly without being too rigid or too preachy?

Every day of creation is a new challenge.

I have seen a movie called "Adapted Script" before. The actor played by Nicolas Cage is a screenwriter. Because of the lack of creative inspiration, he used his own life as the basis to create the script, and the result went around It's hard to tell the difference between reality and script.

What's more, sometimes I write a five-page or ten-page script like a god, and the inspiration spurts, but when I look at those creations again the next day, I feel that it's all rubbish, and I can't wait to smash the typewriter, and then All the previous creations were thrown into the trash in one go.

Lu Qian can finally feel this feeling now——

The difference, of course, was that he was using a computer instead of a typewriter, so there was no need to fight to the death with ink cartridges.

If there are setbacks, naturally there will be success. When I finally create a chapter that satisfies me, the joy and satisfaction are beyond words.

To be honest, Lu Qian enjoyed it very much.

Despite the difficulties, the script creation of "Tourist" was much smoother than expected.

Lu Qian used a little tricky method. In order to avoid the lines being too verbose and too preachy, he consciously arranged some scenes of "silence to deal with", using more shots, performances and The soundtrack sets off the atmosphere and achieves the presentation of tension.

Lines are still important, and the dialogue of each line needs to be more condensed and more essential; but reducing the number of scenes also means that it is more inclined to quality than quantity, and then the speed of script creation will be slightly faster.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year has passed, and January has passed.

With the official announcement of this year's nominations for the Golden Book Awards, the world's largest and most authoritative film awards ceremony~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This also means that the hustle and bustle of the awards season has officially entered the final sprint of the third stage, and all eyes are on The Golden Book Award nominees are projected and they're about to start their final battle.

For a time, the whole Lanchuan was very lively.

Only when the eyes fall on the global movie weekend box office rankings, and suddenly find that "raid" still holds the title of champion, this will produce a little trance——

What time is it coming now?

In any case, before the end of January, Lu Qian finished all the creation of the "Tourist" script, and then immediately entered the preparatory stage.

Lu Qian hopes to start filming immediately, and considering the story background of the "tourists", they must start filming before the end of winter, otherwise not only the avalanche, but even the snow-covered scene of the ski resort needs to be produced with computer special effects, and the production cost is reasonable Predictably expensive.
