reborn in america

Adela is worthy of being a senior screenwriter who has been in the industry for more than ten years. Although his thinking is really not up to the standard of a qualified commercial screenwriter for Adam, but for a layman like Adam who has no foundation, his Professional standards and familiarity with the writing of various standard scripts are extremely precious.

Therefore, from the third day after arriving in Los Angeles, all the work arrangements began to enter the track, and Adam took the time to guide the creation of the comic "Druid" by himself. In contrast, it takes Adam to govern and guide him many times in order to meet Adam's requirements.

The other is to discuss the creation of the script with Adela, but obviously in the first round, Adam described in detail the classic plot of the first "Jurassic Park" he had seen in his memory through text and dictation. With the help of Adela, it was stuffed into the Hollywood formula, making it a real screenplay.

To be honest, Adam read those entertainment novels before time travel. Those time travelers had never worked as screenwriters before time travel, and they didn’t even learn any knowledge about screen writing. They were able to write scripts that were sought after by the entire Hollywood according to the memory in their brains. , This was a refreshing point when reading novels at the time, but when it really happened to him, he had nothing to say except a wry smile.

Scripts, especially Hollywood commercial scripts, have a fixed format and framework. Unlike literary movies, the script is one page, just write the outline. Other directors do not write while filming. question.But Hollywood's commercial scripts cannot be so casual. He has a strict process, because the final filming must be done according to the script. If the plot deviates from the script by more than [-]% or a certain line, investors have The right to terminate the shooting and withdraw the investment from the investment.

To be more specific, Hollywood commercial films generally require relatively large investments, so most film companies, even the Big Seven, will basically introduce external capital in order to share risks, although they will lose part of it. Benefits, but it guarantees that the film company will not have a tragic result because of the failure of one or two films.

Don’t think this is a joke. A big-investment commercial film cost tens of millions in the 90s, and even reached hundreds of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars in the 21st century. Even the Big Seven in Hollywood only make a few dollars in profits. Even if Di Bao crushes all Hollywood 20 years later, the annual profit of the film alone will only be more than 20 billion, and this is already the best achievement in Hollywood and the best achievement in Disney history. Thanks to advances in 3d and imax technology leading to increased ticket prices.

In addition, the disastrous failure of one of John Woo's films, coupled with the coincidence that the film company had been out of business for a few years, led to the collapse of the super predator who had been based in Hollywood for decades and was one of the top eight with seven other film companies.

Therefore, since he wanted to enter Hollywood, he naturally had to abide by the rules of Hollywood, and Adam had to show his own specialness, or value, in addition to following the rules on the surface.

Therefore, in addition to producing an excellent screenplay, Adam also asked Tom to help him draw a detailed and beautiful storyboard.

The storyboard is a script-like existence drawn by the director based on the script to assist him in shooting movies. Each director's storyboard is different, some are exquisite like cartoons, and some are as simple as children's graffiti. Or some directors' storyboards are comparable to Picasso's famous paintings, but no one can understand them except himself.

And Adam made this storyboard draft, which actually has two meanings. One is that it is the same as the script. With a detailed storyboard draft, as long as it is accepted in the end, it is not only an average director, but also follows the guidance of the storyboard draft. It is impossible to make a movie that is too bad; secondly, those who want to buy "Jurassic Park" should also see what kind of situation the movie will come out, with their professional standards Naturally, you can judge whether it is good or bad, which adds a heavyweight weight to your novels.

Don't think it's useless to do this. Many newcomers use this method to impress the top seven to invest in their films step by step, and they succeed in the end.For example, the Hollywood struggle history of the Wachowski brothers (sisters?) who can almost be made into an inspirational movie.

They initially took the script of "The Matrix" to Hollywood to sell, but unfortunately no one liked it. In order to increase their persuasiveness, they asked someone to draw a cartoon of "The Matrix" (it should be possible to search for it now, after the movie became popular, The manga also came out with good results), but unfortunately the other party’s heart was moved, but they still couldn’t act. In the end, they spent all their wealth and borrowed money to shoot a short film of "The Matrix", and finally moved the other party.

In the end, the proud Warner Company was not only willing to invest in the film, but also allowed them to be the director of the film. You must know that they were unknown before that. How could they direct a film with an investment of tens of millions?But this is how they stepped up to the position of film directors step by step, and finally announced their extraordinary abilities with movies that shocked the world.

But Adam didn't want to direct this "Jurassic Park" by himself. He was very aware of his ability and needed many films to hone in order to reach that level, at least not so far.

However, these things are enough to gain enough weight for himself, and he will gain the initiative in the copyright negotiations with the Hollywood film company in the near future. With this initiative, it is enough to do a lot of things.

And the progress of the whole script is also very smooth, in fact, it is not smooth and impossible, because the content of the whole script is basically provided by Adam, and the help provided by Adela is only how to put these contents into the script framework of the monster house, and Made changes to the language of some dialogues.

Before joining, Adela thought that the other party was just a puppet, and he wrote the final script, but after joining, he found that he was the useless puppet, and the other party dominated the creation of the entire script. Luckily Adam promised to have his name on the script as a second writer.

A script can be written by multiple people, but in the end there can only be three people signing it. This script will undoubtedly belong to Adam, and Adela is purely Adam's kindness. After all, he is very suitable for the entire script creation process. , did not create any trouble for Adam, just because of this, Adam had to show his affection.

After completing the script, Adam's first thing was to file a case first, so as not to accidentally leak the script and be filed, it would be bad.

After the script was completed, the new chapter "Druid" created by Hudson and the others was also the next day in the daytime. Adam finally confirmed that its quality met his requirements and could be sent to Marvel Comics for further development. A new serial.

I have to say that since the two took over for the first time, they still retain too much personal style in many places, especially Hudson, because he is an old cartoonist for many years, and many old habits of comics will be lost if he is not careful. Bringing it into "Druid" made it deviate from Adam's vision, so it can only be corrected again and again.

In addition, all kinds of action scenes in the fighting made Adam feel helpless. Although they tried their best to learn Adam's gorgeous fighting style, it was still terrible in Adam's eyes, just like a Chinese listening to Hollywood. Celebrities speak the same Chinese, even though they think they are up to standard, but to the ears of real Chinese people, it sounds terrible.

After several attempts and guidance, Adam could only give up for the time being. He drew the storyboard, and then Hudson and Brown filled it in.

But in any case, the new episode of "Druid" is finally completed, so that they can spare time to help Tom complete the storyboard of the movie together, because Adam wants to restore Spielbod's last life as much as possible. The classic "Jurassic Park", so his requirements are extremely strict, and Tom is only a newcomer who has just entered the industry for a year or two, so the pressure is still extremely high for him.

The entire storyboard draft is detailed, and every page is comparable to the most detailed comics. Both the characters and the background have extremely high requirements. Until the movie script is completed, the storyboard draft can only reach the original stage of the movie. The content of about 10 minutes accounts for only one-tenth of the entire movie, and in these storyboard drafts, even the battle scenes have not even officially started, so it can be said that it is only in the initial stage of foreshadowing.

Of course, this is also because of the time it takes to design the character image and the possible dinosaur shape in the early stage, but this speed can only be said to be surprisingly slow, and this is already after Tom works for a few hours a day regardless of time. the result.

However, the creation of the script and the "Druid" comics have been completed, so that Adam can devote himself to it, and Hudson and Brown can also join in and help complete the storyboard draft of "Jurassic Park".

Sure enough, with the help of several people, the completion of the storyboard draft was much faster, but after all, there were too many contents left behind, and it was basically impossible to finish all the work before Adam's birthday.

And because Adam led the creation of the entire storyboard draft, without him, the whole work would have come to a standstill. After some struggles, Adam finally chose to apologize to his family and Carol, saying that he could not reproduce and returned to the town a few days ago. Celebrated birthday with them.
