Chapter 400: Split Shot Script

That night, Fang Yajun left Du Xinghe and Xu Nuo for dinner at her house. After the meal, Fang Yajun was bored and had no arrangements, so she invited the two of them to watch the movie "Flowers Fall in Life" in her private theater.

This film was screened last year at the East China Cinema Alliance with Shenhai as its core. Its box office was 76 million. It ranked 15th in the 1992 annual box office rankings announced by the East China Cinema Alliance.

The Southeast Cinema Alliance in Fuwan and Xiangjiang has not released this film. If people in other parts of the country want to watch it, they can only buy genuine videos.

However, there are no high-definition Blu-ray discs in this era, and they are still in the era of VCD discs. Even if most people buy VCDs, the feeling of watching at home is completely different from watching in the theater.

A witty figure like Fang Yajun who loves to watch movies in his own private projection hall can buy genuine home films to play movies. The specifications of this home film do not match the player of the cinema. It is specially made for private movie enthusiasts. It is shown on short-range projectors and cannot be watched on the screen of the cinema level, so as not to buy cinemas to make profits.

The cost of this kind of film is much higher than that of VCD. Generally, an authentic VCD movie costs 30 to 50 yuan, but an authentic household film costs 7,800 yuan the cheapest one. The film with collection value is as high as 5,6,000 yuan per volume!

Most people can't afford the cost of watching movies for home films. Only enthusiasts will buy movie films and build their own screening halls at home to play them.

Fang Yajun is such a person who likes to watch movies at her home. She has no choice but to watch movies like her. She can’t easily go to the cinema to watch movies. In public, she has almost no freedom. Although she occasionally disguises herself and goes to the cinema to enjoy the real movie-watching atmosphere, she occasionally does it. Most of the time she watches movies, she just calls a few relatives and friends to enjoy it in a private screening room.

This has one advantage, that is, she can enjoy more film movies than other people who go to cinemas. She can buy movies from the five major theaters in China to play them on her own. Unlike other people, she can only watch movies played in the theaters in her local theaters. If you want to watch movies from other theaters, you have to endure VCDs with very poor picture quality, which feels much different from going to the cinema.

Fang Yajun's private screening room has a screen size of the current domestic home film projector. The maximum area that can be projected - a 300-inch white screen, which is only about 100 inches smaller than the screen size of the cinema's small screening room. The audio is equipped with a more upscale Lark macro sound series than the small screening room of the mainstream cinema, with realistic and shocking sound effects.

Her private screening room can accommodate 30 people to watch movies at the same time, which is enough for her family and relatives and friends to watch.

That night, Du Xinghe and Xu Nuo watched the movie "Flowers Fall" with a group of children from Fang Yajun's family.

If you want to say that this movie is not suitable for children, those children have to join in the fun and watch it together.

This is a more popular campus youth tragedy and comedy in East China. It mainly revolves around friendship and love. From the personal perspective of the heroine Lin Xiaoyue, it shows stories about her or around her one by one.

The beginning is that Lin Xiaoyue has transferred from a small town to a big city to study. It is already her second year in her high school. In a high school in a big city, she met a group of friends and met Chen Ao, the protagonist of the movie at the school's encyclopedia knowledge competition.

During the winter vacation, Lin Xiaoyue’s friend Yan Wenwen suddenly passed away, which hit Lin Xiaoyue, who was growing up, severely.

In the new semester, Lin Xiaoyue and Chen Ao fell in love, but Shen Xue, who is Lin Xiaoyue's head teacher and Chen Ao's cousin, did not object to this couple who fell in love early, even Chen Ao's mother. She also let this matter go, which surprised Lin Xiaoyue. After that, there was a long youth love song. In the end, the two broke up because Lin Xiaoyue always felt that Chen Ao's heart was not with her.

After a long time, Lin Xiaoyue entered society and accidentally met her former old classmate. Only then did she understand the truth about her love with Shen Ao back then. It turned out that the girl Chen Ao really loved was her dead friend Yan Wenwen...

In Du Xinghe's opinion, this story is extremely cliché. This kind of script must be placed in the hands of the director in the previous plane. Not to mention selling a box office of 76 million, it is estimated that it will be difficult to even get a box office of 760,000!

But in this plane, Chinese directors have a strong ability to tell stories. A clichéd story, which they express with the camera, looks particularly fresh. Du Xinghe hates vulgar movies very much, but the movie made him see it in one breath, and he laughed several times in the middle. It was just the final reversal ending, which made him feel chilled. Overall, he felt that the style of the movie was quite relaxed and attractive, and the suspense reversal at the end was still acceptable to ordinary audiences.

However, after reading it carefully, the story became very boring. After reading it once, he would definitely not read it again.

Especially a week ago, he just watched "The Bones of the Bones" with Liao Nan. Compared with these two, the level of movies produced by Xiangjiang is really about to be popular in several streets of movies in East China. The levels of the major theaters in China here are uneven in the levels of local film companies supported by them.

Speaking of which, the people in Fuwan, Guangcheng and Xiangjiang are very fond of attention, because the movies they usually watch are basically the highest-level movies in China and the most creative ones are also the strongest.

The overall level of films produced by film companies supported by the four theaters in East China, North China, Central and Western China, and Southwest is slightly lower. Of course, this slightly lower refers to movies of general specifications. The finale, summer dramas, and New Year dramas that each theater chain focuses on launching every year. There is no choice between the standards, because these large productions are all the top talents in the film industry. Although these people have different filming styles, the production level of the movies is extremely high. The entertainment quality can be comparable to the level of the most popular Hong Kong movies in the early 1990s. The depth does not require the fifth-generation directors who have won various awards in the mainland. The hard technology of the film industry such as movie special effects is even better than that of all Chinese Cantonese movies in the early 1990s.

Although Du Xinghe has not yet fully integrated into the powerful country culture that penetrates this plane and has many ideas that have not been changed, he has a lot of feelings when watching the movies of this plane.

Whenever he enjoys the impact of the movies in this plane on his thoughts, he always wants to copy the movies in the previous plane, so that the people in this plane can also enjoy the crystallization of wisdom of their people in the world.

In the previous plane, Du Xinghe had never studied film major and didn't know how to make movies. But a college classmate moved from the music circle to the film circle and became an assistant director, who specialized in helping a well-known director deconstruct and draw storyboard scripts for film and television scripts.

The so-called storyboard script, also known as a filming workbench script, is an intermediate medium for converting text into stereoscopic audio-visual images. The script is the basis for filming a movie, but it cannot be used directly for shooting. The director must also write a storyboard script based on the content of the script and his own overall concept.

To put it more clearly, a storyboard script is an important part of turning the literary image of the script into a screen image. It is to draw the words of the script into shots to be shot. The content mainly includes: mirror number, scene, scene, special stunts, lens content, music, audio, etc.

Most directors have to draw detailed storyboard scripts before filming, but some directors will hand over this work to their assistants.

That classmate Du Xinghe specializes in this.

Du Xinghe has seen that guy work. This job is boring and brain-consuming. He has to deconstruct and subdivide the simple texts on the original film and television script into shots. Just think about it and know how much an imaginative work is.

A good director may not be able to draw a perfect storyboard script, but the films they make must be very mature, and their filming process will be much smoother than those directors with messy storyboard scripts.

Du Xinghe has been thinking about how to copy the movies from the previous plane to the previous plane. If he asked him to refine and adapt the classic movies he had watched into ordinary film and television scripts, it would not be difficult for him. But even if he changed all the classic movies into scripts, the director of this plane can make the classic feeling of the previous plane? This is a question.

Each director has a different style of filming, just like there are no two identical leaves in the world, and there are no two identical directors in the world. Even if one director uses the usual methods used by another director to imitate him and shoot a movie, the feeling of filming will definitely be different in the subtleties. The combination of these subtle differences will make the overall style of the film less savory.

Du Xinghe has always been worried that the classic movie stories in the previous plane will become another flavor when filmed by the director of this plane. Although the director of this plane has strong ability to tell stories, he still likes the original feeling.

So Du Xinghe came in and had a plan to learn how to draw a storyboard script. He had seen his classmate's work and roughly understood what it means to write a storyboard script. It is a brain-consuming task to let a person draw a storyboard script while watching the text, but it is much easier to let a person watch a movie and draw a storyboard script against a piece of shot.

Du Xinghe has a super memory playback function. He can automatically play the movies he has watched in his mind. It is more convenient than watching movies on a computer. He stops wherever he wants and falls wherever he wants. This provides great convenience for him to draw storytelling scripts.

The picture of the lens that you need to draw when writing a storyboard script does not need to be as detailed as the drawings drawn by a professional art. As long as there is a scene, the director can understand the meaning. To put it bluntly, it is actually no different to ask him to draw a storyboard script and ask him to copy a book. It just takes a little more brains and summarize the content of each shot. This is not a difficult task for Du Xinghe, who has extremely developed artistic cells.

Du Xinghe has always wanted to experiment with his film Copy skills recently. He wants to see if he draws a perfect storyboard script, which is shot by the director of this plane, can it be as authentic as he imagined.

Especially after being strongly stimulated by "The Bones of the Bones", Du Xingheji wanted to bring the "Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" that was also strongly stimulated by him in front of the TV to see how many viewers it would be intimidated by the movie.

Du Xinghe has always thought that "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" is more than "The Curse" or "Midnight Bell". Japanese horror movies like this make people feel chilled from their bones.

The story of this film is very good. Although the director's lens advancement language is slightly flawed, it is also considered excellent. If the storyboard script of this film is drawn and the more mature horror film director is directed by the more mature horror film director of this plane. The story is more exciting and the special effects are even more terrifying, it will definitely be better than the well-received "The Bones of the Bones"!

Although horror movies are restricted from playing in this plane, which will greatly restrict the box office of horror movies, Du Xinghe's purpose of bringing movies here is not to make money. He just wanted to share with the public in this plane that had deeply touched him in the previous plane, which was purely a playful nature, so his choice of movies is not as exciting as copying songs and novels. He thinks that the movie is good and impressed by him.

What he is most looking forward to is watching top horror movies in the cinema, so what he wants to copy the most is "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village". He wants the people in this plane to listen to the singing of Chu Renmei.

After sending it home to Xu Nuo that night, Du Xinghe took advantage of the fun of making tickets and returned to his residence, read the basic professional reference books he bought before about drawing storyboard scripts, and began to try to draw storyboard scripts for "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village".

This kind of attempt is very tiring. It is much more tiring than copying books. In the face of the terrifying camera, drawing storyboard pictures. This work is both unfamiliar and terrifying for Du Xinghe. He didn't draw a storyboard for a few minutes, and after watching the group of psychic 2B young men in his mind several times, Du Xinghe was a little panicked.

He was alone at home, and his parents were still hanging portraits of his parents at home, drawing storyboard scripts in horror films that had left him with deep psychological shadows. The atmosphere was indescribable.

Finally, Du Xinghe stopped writing and decided to draw the storyboard script of this film, which was done during the day.

Putting down the messy script he drew, he held the guitar and sang casually the song that came to his mind to shock himself.

It is a classic funny work "I Eat Fried Chicken in People's Square" by the mainland independent female voice "A Si" in the last plane.

...

You've become very cold recently~

It made me a little overwhelmed ~

Actually, I didn't expect much ~

Can you love me as much as you used to be ~

But you escaped even when you date ~

No explanation~

It's not that I don't know ~

Love needs to be tormented ~

It's not that I didn't pray ~

...

I was eating fried chicken in People's Square ~

And where are you now ~

Even though you might be striking the world~

But my fatigue has made me too lazy to doubt~

I was eating fried chicken in People's Square ~

And at this moment ~ where are you ~

...

For some reason, Du Xinghe felt that he had a unique shock effect when singing this song. Perhaps this song was so cute.

After singing it twice, he felt less nervous.

With high interest that night, Du Xinghe slept with a beautiful nightmare.

Early the next morning, he got up as usual to suck his throat, then jogged for a while, so he warmed up and stretched. Then he turned home, finished washing up, and drove to Dongjia Garden to pick up Xu Nuo. Before 7:30 in the morning, they were going to Fuda Tennis Court and Zhang Yifan to practice football.

Xu Nuo cannot live with Du Xinghe now, and he has the desire to be more like a small separation than a newlywed. No matter what he does with Du Xinghe, he is very excited and interested.

It was less than half past six o'clock, and the cute girl finished washing and was dressed neatly waiting for Du Xinghe under the phoenix tree at the entrance of the community.

Before Xu Nuo went out, Zhou Chuhong specifically instructed Xu Nuo to call Du Xinghe home to eat at noon today. Xu Nuo saw that her mother was in such a high mood, so she naturally did not dare to disobey her orders. She could feel that her mother now supports her dating with Du Xinghe, which made her happy from the bottom of her heart.

When Du Xinghe drove to the entrance of Dongjia Garden, he saw Xu Nuo standing under the fiery red phoenix tree from afar, wearing a white sportswear, with a bent corner of his mouth and he smiled warmly.

The sportswear he wore that day was the same as when he went to Fuda last time, the sky blue Baijiazhuang sportswear that Xu Nuo gave him.

He thought Xu Nuo would also wear a couple sportswear matched with him, but he didn't expect that this cute girl would be a little cautious now and did not wear a couple outfit like him, so as not to be seen by outsiders like Zhang Yifan.

Xu Nuo was wearing a pure white long suit, trousers, which made her look very refreshing. Her hair has grown a little long recently and has passed her shoulders. Because she wanted to exercise, she turned her soft black hair, which was over her shoulders, into a beautiful ponytail, revealing her round facial curves. However, there was still a pair of dark brown sunglasses on her nose that could cover half of her face. There was no way, she was used to being a star now, and if she didn't wear sunglasses when she went out, it would be as awkward as if she didn't wear "Xiongzao".

After driving the car to the door of Dongjia Garden, Du Xinghe stopped getting out of the car. He pushed the passenger's door open from the inside and asked Xu Nuo to get in.

Xu Nuo got into the car sweetly and asked Du Xinghe: "Have you had breakfast?"

"No, I'm just about to drink your milk."

Du Xinghe naughtyly joked with Xu Nuo. He saw Xu Nuo holding two cans of milk in his hand. Xu Nuo knew that what Du Xinghe wanted to drink was not the milk in her hand...
