My Cartoonist Strategy
Chapter 445 The problem of the outline
When Yan Fei called Xi Muhan, Xi Muhan had just got up and had not had time to wash his face.
Although Shen Xin provided the background and settings this time, she must first understand the meaning of these settings. After all, she did not create them by herself. Xin discusses and revises an 11-episode TV series with a revised outline of 70,000 words, plus a plot and ambush.Half a month, just barely enough.
When receiving a call from Yan Fei, Xi Muhan felt uneasy.
"It's news from District 11?"
"Ok."
"How is it?" Xi Muhan was nervous, and there was a trace of anticipation in his heart.
Yan Fei took a deep breath, "Sorry, District 11... Supervisor Zhuang did not agree."
"Ah? Why?" Xi Muhan puzzled.
"Wait a minute, I will translate the email he wrote and send it to your mailbox."
"Oh……"
Xi Muhan was a little distracted. When he came back, he just wanted to thank Yan Fei, but found that the other party had hung up the phone, so he came to the workbench weakly.
"What's wrong?" Shen Xin asked nicely.
"did not pass."
Xi Muhan looked frustrated, scratching his head, and before he had time to clear his hair, he even looked haggard.
Shen Xin did not know how to comfort Xi Muhan.
In a play, the screenwriter has a great role and power, and can even determine the life and death of the character, but these are limited to overseas markets, and Earth's screenwriters have little status.
In truth, many authors have written scripts on Earth.
But Xi Muhan did not have any experience in this area, and the partner is also from the 11th district. The language is not good, and it is very inconvenient to communicate, and no one gave advice.As a result, the progress was not as smooth as expected.
Shen Xin didn't know how to write the script. When Xi Muhan looked sad, he said: "Or, you write it according to the novel, and then, let the people in the 11th district be adapted?"
"Brother Xin, this time I haven't had Xigang...it has nothing to do with the novel." Xi Muhan muttered his mouth, his eyes were pitiful, and the tears were coming.
"..."
This is really a problem.
Shen Xin recalled Xigang and didn't find too many problems.
It is nothing but the emperor of Xingguo is in critical condition. Isn't such a plot a series of fights?Or is it too cliché?
Uh... let's take a look at what Zhuang Shi Uno said first?
Soon, Yan Fei translated Zhuang Shi Yuno's suggestion into Chinese, and sent it to Xi Muhan. Shen Xin also had the opportunity to understand Zhuang Si Yuno's views.
"The rhythm is procrastinating, and the subject is late. The rhythm and style are inconsistent with "Steel". It is not that the story takes place in Xingguo and can be played freely. The original plot must also reflect the original story.
"First, explain the two roles, and second, introduce alchemy (it seems that alchemy should be reflected in "Steel"). But Xigang only reflects the first point, the second point is not mentioned, it is recommended to add . In addition, the fate of the character is simple, the growth is limited, the outline and the sense of setting are insufficient, it is recommended to rewrite."
"What do you mean?" Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin puzzled.
"Uh..." Shen Xin scratched his head, "How much do I know. Under normal circumstances, an animation screening needs to be entered quickly, that is to say, to attract readers to the front. The first few episodes don't need too much foreshadowing, First introduce the key characters. This step is mainly about two characters and alchemy, then these two should be advanced...at least, in the first three episodes, it should come out. I think so."
"Then... how to explain the character's fate simply, and the lack of sense of setting... The character's fate is already very tortuous, Zhang Mei almost died."
"I'm afraid the problem is in the word'almost'."
"Huh? You mean to let Zhang Mei... Didn't she appear in "Steel"?"
"It can let other people die... For a character who has a good relationship with her usually, the supporting role is for the plot."
"what?"
"Have you heard of the "third word effect"?" Shen Xin asked.
"do not know."
"Simply put, it is a cartoon in the third episode, which suddenly changes its style. For example, the previous plot is lighter, but, in the third episode, the plot changes suddenly and someone suddenly dies."
The originator of the "Third Word Effect" was "Magic Girl Madoka", and the sudden death of Ba Mami in the third word surprised many readers.
It's not that the rumor must be done, but there are still some turning points in the story.
"How heavy? The history of Xingguo has been written into the outline."
Shen Xin shook his head, he was not Zhuang Si Uno, how could he guess his thoughts?
"There is also limited character growth... there are only 11 episodes of animation, the protagonist... and there are still two. How do you show growth?" Xi Muhan nipped her lips and frowned.
Shen Xin did not know what to do.
This time, the plot does not exist in the original work, which means that he and Xi Muhan will create a plot with a quality that is not too different from the original.
Seeing the lost Xi Muhan, Shen Xin also felt nervous for the first time.
Original... is the original of "Steel"...
No one knows what kind of script can be written.
"It's okay, everyone will find a way together, and eventually there will be ideas." Shen Xin comforted.
Xi Muhan sat in front of the computer and looked at the screen absently, without dinner.
Seeing such Xi Muhan, Shen Xin also lost his appetite for eating.
Now Xi Muhan is suspicious of himself. If he doesn't support her, Xiaohan is likely to suffer.
"No sense of weight...the protagonist hasn't grown...where do you start?"
Shen Xin once again read Xi Muhan's detailed outline.
Zhuang Si Uno said that it must be valid. He should be right in "Steelmaking".
So, where does this thick and role growth manifest?
Strengthening Edward's strength?
Shen Xin shook his head. Even at the end, Edward's strength was not the strongest.However, those who have watched "Steel" have to admit that Edward is much more mature.
As for the detailed outline, although it is not as detailed as it is, the highlights are still involved.The growth of the character is undoubtedly the highlight.The outline of the novel of the network also requires the same. For example, what event the actor is completing escalating must definitely be mentioned.
So, how did Edward grow in "Steel"?
Shen Xin recalled "Steelmaking" from beginning to end.
At the same time, Xi Muhan was thinking about another issue.
Whether a work has a sense of weight, on the one hand, whether the content reflects a sense of history, on the other hand, whether there is connotation.
What is the meaning of "Steel"?Equivalent exchange?Or alchemy?
Xi Muhan scratched his head and got up to turn out the "Steel" comics.
