Chapter 91 The Final Version of "Shading the Sky" Script

"What should we do now?"

Wang Fei was sweating profusely.

Haihua City is located in the south of Longguo, and the weather is already hot. Even though it is still the beginning of the year, the temperature has risen. Wang Fei was already anxious. Now that he knew that the special effects were targeted by Sangua, he became anxious and sweated. The shirt he was wearing was soaked in a large area.

"let me see."

Zhang Yang was also in a hurry.

But he knows that being anxious is useless to things, and calm thinking is the right way.

There are only a few top special effects companies in Longguo, and the technology of other companies is a bit inferior. Find these second-rate companies to do special effects for "Shading the Sky"?

Make a bunch of special effects?
Then he was sprayed to death by the audience!
"Shading the Sky" was a big defeat!
The good reputation I accumulated in the hearts of the masses through the Dragon Snake series has been ruined in this way, and I will always bear the name of a fifty-cent special effects director in the future?

Zhang Yang was scared even thinking about it!
However, the matter has come to this point, what else can be done?
Those are the top special effects companies in China, and others don't have that technology, so...
What about abroad?
Foreign special effects companies are no worse than domestic companies, and some even surpass these companies!

"Shading the Sky" can be done by a foreign special effects company!
Yes, that's it!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang's eyes brightened: "Now that things have come to this point, there is nothing we can do in China. Let's find a foreign special effects company."

"Foreign company?"

Wang Fei slapped his thigh and said pleasantly: "Yes, although I don't want to admit it, but many foreign companies are indeed doing better than domestic ones. Since there are no domestic ones, it's okay to find foreign companies."

"I'll try to get in touch right away."

Zhang Yang reminded him: "Well, but don't make too much noise about this matter, I'm afraid that Sangua will find out the news and do something wrong again."

"Do not worry."

Wang Fei regretted: "It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable when I think of giving so much money to foreign companies."

Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "For now, this is the best way."

"However, when making a movie, special effects are the last step.

We shoot first, then cut after shooting, and then do special effects after cutting.

It will take a while. If there are other situations, as long as the contract is not signed, there is still time to find the domestic side. "

(I know that the shooting time is very short, but because the melon skins will be divided into resources, it can’t be too long to confirm the result, right? So the time is temporarily set like this.)
For the special effects company, this is the tentative decision.

The two went back upstairs.

Wang Fei went to find a way to contact foreign special effects companies without mentioning it.

Zhang Yang came to the screenwriting department.

After a round of expansion, the screenwriting department has already become stronger and stronger. It is no longer the time when there were only two or three big cats and kittens, and Douisheng still needed support from Dou Sheng.

The current screenwriting department is headed by Li Xiaoqiang, and there are more than 20 people under it.

Generally speaking.

There may be one screenwriter for a film, two screenwriters, or a combination of multiple screenwriters.

In the past, Dragon Snake 1 was all done by Li Xiaoqiang alone, staying up late every day, so tired that his hair fell out a lot.

Later, Dragon Snake 2 was written together by Li Xiaoqiang and the staff who came over from Douyin.

And now, the script of "Shading the Sky".

Zhang Yang sets the direction and requirements, Li Xiaoqiang is responsible for the framework and plot direction, and other screenwriters will fill in the specific plot after discussion.

In the end, Li Xiaoqiang reviewed it and felt that it met Zhang Yang's requirements, and then submitted it to Zhang Yang for decision.

After the first version of the script was finished, Li Xiaoqiang and the people in the screenwriting department worked for a few days, and finally revised a brand new script today.

Zhang Yang came to the screenwriting department to read the latest script.

As soon as I opened the door to the screenwriting department.

I saw a group of people sitting together talking about the plot.

"I think it's totally okay to delete this part."

"Movies are not as detailed as TV dramas, and these people don't affect the main plot, so just delete them if you delete them."

"I also support it. The original book starts from the earth and returns to the earth. This part has a lot of content and is complicated. It is completely feasible to make a lot of unnecessary deletions."

"Mr. Li, let me make a suggestion. Do you want to add a little emotional dispute between the female character and the male protagonist? This will make it more dramatic! And there are similar plots in many movies now."

Li Xiaoqiang roared suddenly, and the ceiling seemed to be shaken so that dust fell down.

"Drama? Believe it or not I'll turn you into a comedy!"

"I have issued repeated orders and repeated orders. It is not allowed to randomly change the character design or add random plots. Are you deaf? If you do this again, you will resign!"

This is what Zhang Yang saw when he opened the door.

"Mr. Zhang, you are here, sit down quickly."

Li Xiaoqiang, who was still in a state of rage just now, turned from anger to joy.

He waved his hands to let people go away, while he led Zhang Yang into his office.

After sitting down, he made hot tea for him, and then handed him the newly revised script.

"You don't need to stand, you can sit too."

After taking the script, Zhang Yang found that Li Xiaoqiang was still standing there respectfully. He didn't have the angry look he saw when he first entered the door. Instead, he was gentle and very honest.

"Thank you Mr. Zhang."

Hearing his words, Li Xiaoqiang sat down beside him.

This is not fear, but his respect and gratitude to Zhang Yang from the bottom of his heart.

"You."

Zhang Yang sighed with emotion, shook his head, and saw that he sat down, without saying anything more.

He's used to it.

When handing over work, Li Xiaoqiang usually stands. Unless he is asked to sit down, he will stand until the work is handed over.

Opening the newly revised script, Zhang Yang looked at it seriously.

This version of the script is slightly different from the original version.

Some characters in the side plots that had very few appearances in the original work and did not affect the main plot were all deleted, some scenes of the heroine Ji Ziyue were added, and some lines describing the realm of cultivation were added.

This is to avoid, as in some current fantasy dramas, a character who is obviously weak has to be involved in the battle between several great masters.

Although they lost in the end, they still suffered a lot for a long time.

A plot like this may seem like nothing to ordinary viewers, and may even be a bonus in the eyes of screenwriters. However, in the eyes of people like Zhang Yang who have read all kinds of fantasy novels, it is simply poisonous!
Does it make sense for a character in the original novel to have a few minutes on top of him?

Similar plots in Shading the Sky are absolutely not allowed to appear!
There is also the kind of plot where the villain BOSS is invisible by the side while holding her in her arms and talking for a long time when she is dying!

In addition to these, there are some explanations for some secret techniques, Taoist scriptures, magic weapons, and different phases that appear in the play.

After all, there are still a large group of viewers who have not been exposed to fantasy culture, and these things can help them understand more about "Shading the Sky".

It's almost time to get off work.

Zhang Yang finally read through the entire script.

The main reason is to look at what he was dissatisfied with in the first edition.

Li Xiaoqiang has already improved these areas.

Overall, the script of "Shading the Sky 1 - Journey to the Beidou" has been polished.

"That's right, you've worked hard, Xiaoqiang."

Zhang Yang stretched.

"This one can be regarded as the final version, and no revision is required."

"In the future, you can print a few more copies of it and give it to Secretary Lin, and ask her to distribute it to the heads of various departments, so that everyone can read it. All filming work of the film will be carried out according to this version."

"understood."

Li Xiaoqiang respectfully agreed.

"Okay." Zhang Yang looked at the time: "Then get off work."

The two walked out of the screenwriting department's office together.

Before leaving the door, Zhang Yang remembered the scene he saw before entering the door.

"Before you refuted the screenwriter who wanted to add characters and add emotional disputes, you did a good job."

"I have said many times that when I film, I must be loyal to the original work and not make random adaptations."

"I believe you must have said it many times, but he still committed the crime knowingly, my suggestion is"

"Let him resign."

"In Xuanyu, there is no need for this kind of screenwriter."

He patted Li Xiaoqiang on the shoulder, then turned and left the screenwriting department.
