Renly was serious just now, not joking. He really needs a script.
There is a big difference between a script and a finished product. A good script may not necessarily lead to a good film, but a good film must have a good script..
For many ordinary viewers, it seems that commercial movies do not need scripts, and only need to watch visual effects. This is enough, and "Transformers" is undoubtedly a representative. But this idea is wrong. Really excellent commercial movie scripts, indeed It doesn’t need to be too complex, nor does it need to be too profound, but it does need to flow smoothly. It is not an easy task to tell a simple story clearly and in one go, with the right speed and climax..
For commercial movie scripts, there are generally two approaches. One is to focus on the story and revolve around one thing. For example, in "Ocean's Eleven", the goal is to steal a casino. The story will be divided into three stages. , the first stage is the origin of the conflict and establishing the goal; the second stage is the preparation of the task, division of labor and cooperation; the third stage is the execution of the task, which is the climax of the movie.
In fact, the story itself is not complicated. When the main line is drawn up, even if the characters are stereotyped or simplified, it doesn't matter. It completely revolves around the main line and the goal is clear. This makes the movie-watching process extremely smooth and the pleasure will follow..
Another type is based on characters and revolves around the ups and downs between characters, such as "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". The ultimate duel between characters is the confrontation between good and evil, and the story will also have three stages of atmosphere. The first The second stage is the establishment of the character's position, friends and enemies; the second stage is the brewing of conflict, the deepening of friendship, and the establishment of hostility; the third stage is the outbreak of conflict, where justice defeats evil, or the protagonist defeats the villain..
This type of story is actually not complicated. The protagonist is established, all the supporting characters revolve around the fate of the protagonist, and the events take place with the protagonist as the core. This allows the audience to feel the ups and downs and joy along with the growth of the protagonist. Anger, sorrow and joy.
To put it simply, commercial films do not need scripts, but they need a simple but effective script..
As for a script like "Batman: The Dark Knight", which runs through the main story, is supplemented by the confrontation between good and evil, and injects philosophical reflections, and even adds branch lines to shape the supporting characters, it is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Even if it is a "thief" Scripts such as "Dream Space" and "Titanic" cannot compare..
“The scripts of "Super Battleship" and "Alien Battlefield" both have this fatal flaw. The former's script is confusing and pale. Each branch line has almost no help in shaping the characters or promoting the main plot, which leads to a useless plot. There are too many, and the main plot is too thin. Even the logical loopholes are exposed, giving people a sense of helplessness. The final effect is: a bunch of stars and a pair of special effects. The end.
Objectively speaking, the plot is even worse than "Transformers".
The latter's script failed because ambition and ability were not directly proportional. On the one hand, war confrontation was the main line, but the ins and outs and transitions were not really explained clearly, losing the simple, straightforward but clear-cut feel of "Star Wars"; On the other hand, the protagonist's experience is used as the second main line, but the character lacks the clear character growth of "Avatar". Many auxiliary branches are completely fragmented and do not contribute to the protagonist's personality..
"Star Wars" and "Avatar", which were developed based on the original works, both interpreted and performed their own styles, but the movies adapted from the original works themselves were a mess..
In a complete film, the script is only one part of it. Whether the rhythm is well controlled, whether the actors are selected appropriately, and whether the climax/climax is pleasant or not are the keys to the success or failure of commercial films. But it is certain. Unfortunately, both "Super Battleship" and "Alien Battlefield" had script flaws..
In the last life, before the two works were released, almost everyone was optimistic that the two works would achieve great success at the box office. From investment, from the cast, from the director, from the publicity, from the source of the adaptation, every link could predict the box office success. Winning, there is almost no reason to lose. Even with the script, they don’t think it is a serious problem.
But in Renly's view, a bad script fell into the hands of a director who was not good at it, and passed through the hands of a producer who did not distinguish between serious and serious. If one step was wrong, it would be wrong at every step. In the end, the two works The box office failure of.
Of course, Renly is now speaking from the perspective of a person who has traveled back from the future. Naturally, he can stand and speak without pain. Who can be sure that the time point in this life will coincide with the time point in which his life ended in the previous life? After we get together, and without the ability to predict the future, will he be able to make these wise and accurate judgments?？
Therefore, Renly needs a script, even if it is the script of "Super Battleship" and "Alien Battlefield", he needs to be serious. Just like the script of "Thor" before. Don't say that the scripts of these commercial movies are brilliant, even if they are It is not an easy task to write smoothly. Put aside the visual effects and director control of the finished product, simply use the script as the starting point, examine the entire work, and even think about how the director transforms words into pictures. This is really Don't have a taste.
Objectively speaking, after screening and selecting the nine scripts submitted by Andy this time, Renly had to say that he recognized Roy's idea. "Loop Messenger" and "Dragon Tiger Boys" are worthy of consideration. object.
As far as Renly is concerned, he prefers "The Boys". After missing "Bad Boss" and experiencing "Me Fighting Cancer", Renly has always had a special affinity for comedy. He can get rid of the baggage of his image and let go. Performing with hands and feet is not just about making vases, but also about colliding your own humor with the screenwriter's ideas. This is a very interesting creative process..
Renly admired the cold-faced comedians like Bill Murray, Robin Williams, and Billy Crystal. They were the result of wisdom and time. His humor is difficult for ordinary people to imitate.
As of now, Renly is still a long way from being a qualified comedian, but "The Boys" could be an interesting start..
However, "Looper" is also a good attempt. Although Renly guessed that the crew's self-positioning is still a science fiction action movie, and the performance space is not large; but science fiction movies are undoubtedly a brand-new attempt, "Blade Runner", "Alien", "Inception", "Interstellar", "12 Monkeys", etc., these works are all impressive.
Renly has always been very fond of the "Butterfly Effect", not only because of the collision of inspirations brought about by the theory of parallel space and the theory of black holes traveling through time and space. The director filmed four different versions of the ending to explore the meaning of life and time and space; And also because the combination of art and science really makes people start to reflect on their own lives. Every choice may lead to different results. What people should pursue is not perfection, but reality..
Because he liked such movies, he searched for many similar movies in his previous life, such as "Terror Cruise", "The Night the Comet Came", "This Man Came from the Earth", "The Moon", etc., including four movies this year. "Source Code," which was released last month, and the script "Looper," which is currently in his hands. These science fiction movies may be good or bad, popular or niche, but you can always taste the difference..
If he can star in "Looper", Renly is very much looking forward to communicating with screenwriter Rian Johnson. He is a liberal arts student, not a physics major, and he is definitely lacking in professional knowledge, but he is very willing to discuss this otaku extreme. It’s a topic that only customers are interested in, and I always feel that they can benefit a lot from it..
However, "Transcendence" has just been completed, and Renly does not have the urge to immediately start filming the next work. Relatively speaking, he is now more eager to visit the underwater world, adjust the pace of his life, and enjoy this rare opportunity. Vacation time. Whether it's "Dragon and Tiger Youth Team" or "Loop Messenger", they can all wait a little longer..
If you miss any of the works because of this period of vacation, you will certainly regret it, but Renly will not regret it. Neither of these two works has reached the level where Renly can't wait to make his way in Hollywood. After playing for nearly two years, Renly gradually began to adapt to the rhythm of life here.：
If you miss this work, there will always be another one. Once you encounter a work that makes you crazy, then hold on tightly and tightly, because no one is special in Hollywood, and no work is special. Special, only if you work hard can you make the work that is special to you your own..
What's more, to take a step back, these nine scripts are not formal invitations to audition, they are just tentative inquiries. For such inquiries, apart from Renly, every crew will probably find dozens of actors. TanTanTouFeng. While actors are selecting scripts, the crew is also selecting actors, especially for these top commercial productions. The initiative is always in the hands of the production company, and the actors are just pawns..
Therefore, Renly decided to take a good vacation and read these scripts carefully, just like in a book, as a means of entertainment, relaxation and entertainment. It included two scripts: "Super Battleship" and "Alien Battlefield".
But before the official announcement, he decided to answer Duke Zhou's call first, embrace the warm and comfortable bed, and have a good sleep..
As soon as his head hit the pillow, Renly fell into a deep sleep. In the past two months, Renly had never really slept well. In the environment of the Bronx, it seemed that Renly had already slept. He feels like a fish in water, but in fact, he must keep his spirit tight at all times, even after being accustomed to being numb, because there, if someone is not careful or pays no attention, it may be his own life..
No one should take it lightly, including Renly..
Now, he could finally relax completely and have a good sleep. Soon, Renly's breathing became steady and long. It was not until this moment that Renly truly left Henry Bart's life..
