The Greatest Showman

Renly was serious just now, not joking. He really needs to read the script.

There is still a big difference between a script and a finished product. A good script may not necessarily produce a good work, but a good work 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, which is enough, and "Transformers" is undoubtedly a representative. But this idea is wrong. A truly excellent commercial movie script does not need to be too complicated or too advanced, but it must be smooth and smooth. A simple story is told clearly, in one go, and the speed is appropriate and the climax is repeated. This is not a problem. easy thing.

For the script of commercial films, there are generally two approaches. One is to focus on the story and focus on one thing. For example, "Eleven Arhats", the goal is to steal the casino. The story will be divided into three stages. The first stage is the origin of conflict and the establishment of goals; the second stage is the preparation of tasks, division of labor and cooperation; the third stage is the execution of tasks, which is the climax/climax of the movie.

In fact, the story itself is not complicated, the main line is drawn up, even if the characters are facialized or simplified, it does not matter, it is completely developed around the main line, and the goal is clear. This makes the viewing process extremely smooth, and the pleasure will follow.

The other is character-based, revolving around the origins and transitions between characters, such as "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the ultimate character confrontation is the opposition between good and evil, and the story will also have three stages. The 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, the victory of justice over evil, or the protagonist defeats the villain.

This kind of story is actually not complicated. The protagonist is established, all the supporting roles revolve around the fate of the protagonist, and the occurrence of events is centered on the protagonist. This allows the audience to experience the ups and downs, joys and sorrows along with the growth of the protagonist.

In short, a commercial film does not need a script, but a simple but effective script.

As for a script like "Batman: The Dark Knight", it is run through the main story, assisted by the opposition of good and evil, and injected with philosophical reflection, and even added sidelines to shape the supporting characters, which is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime. Even scripts like "Inception" and "Titanic" can't compare.

The scripts of "Super Battleship" and "Alien Battlefield" have such fatal flaws. The script of the former is chaotic and pale, and each branch line is hardly helpful for character building and promotion of the main line, which leads to waste. There are too many plots, the main plot is too thin, and even the logic loopholes are exposed, giving people a feeling of overwhelmed powerlessness. The final effect is: a bunch of stars, piled up with a pair of special effects. Finish.

Objectively speaking, the plot is even worse than "Transformers".

The latter 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 the ins and outs were not really explained clearly, losing the simple and straightforward but coherent touch of "Star Wars"; On the other hand, the protagonist's experience is used as the second main line, but the characters lack the clear and clear character growth of "Avatar", and many auxiliary branches are completely fragmented, which does not help the protagonist's character design.

Both "Star Wars" and "Avatar" developed on the basis of the original work have interpreted and deduced their own style, but the film adapted from the original work itself is a mess.

In a complete film work, the script is only one of the links. Whether the rhythm is well controlled, whether the actors are properly selected, and whether the climax/climax detonates well or not are the keys to the success or failure of commercial films. But it is certain that the two works "Super Battleship" and "Alien Battlefield" have flaws in the script.

In the last life, before the release of the two works, almost everyone was optimistic that the two works would be a big hit at the box office, from investment, from cast, from director, from publicity, from the source of adaptation, every link can predict the big box office success. Victory, with almost no reason for failure. Even the script, they didn't consider it a serious problem.

But in Renly's view, a bad script falls into the hands of a bad director and then goes through the hands of a producer who doesn't care too much. If one step is wrong, then one step is wrong. The box office fiasco of the final two works is also reasonable.

Of course, Renly is now speaking from the standpoint of a person who has traveled back from the future, naturally speaking without backache. Who can be sure that when the time point of this life coincides with the time point of the end of his life in the previous life, and without the ability to "predict the prophet", can he still make these wise and accurate judgments?

Therefore, Renly needs to read the script, even the script of "Super Battleship" and "Alien Battlefield", he needs to read it carefully. Just like the previous "Thor" script. The scripts of these commercial films, let’s not say they are brilliant, even if they are written smoothly, this is not an easy task. Aside from the visual effects of the finished product and the director’s control, simply take the script as the starting point and examine the entire work. It can be thought of how the director converts words into pictures, which is really unique.

Objectively speaking, after screening and selecting the nine scripts that Andy submitted this time, Renly had to say that he agreed with Roy's idea, and "Ring Messenger" and "Dragon Tiger Youth Team" are worth considering. object.

As far as Renly is concerned, he prefers the "Dragon Tiger Junior Team" more. Having missed the "evil boss" and experienced "the cancer-fighting me", Renly has always had a special fondness for comedy, getting rid of the form.

Like a burden, let go of hands and feet to perform, not just making vases, but colliding one's own humor with the screenwriter's idea, which is a very interesting creative process.

Renly admires cold-faced comedians like Bill-Murray, Robin-Williams, and Billy-Crystal. It is wisdom and time that have settled down. The humor is hard for ordinary people to imitate.

As of now, Renly is still a long way from a qualified comedian, but "The Dragons and Tigers" could be an interesting start.

However, "Ring Messenger" is also a good attempt. Although Renly guessed that the self-positioning of the crew is still a sci-fi action movie, the performance space is not large; but the sci-fi movie is undoubtedly a brand-new attempt, "Blade Runner", "Alien", "Inception", " "Interstellar", "Twelve Monkeys" and so on, these works are impressive.

Renly has always liked the "butterfly effect" very much, not only because of the collision of inspiration brought by the theory of parallel space and the theory of black holes passing through time and space, but the director has filmed four different versions of the ending, and discussed the meaning of life and time and space; And because of the combination of art and science, people really start to reflect on their own life. Every choice may lead to different results. What people should pursue is not perfection, but truth.

Because he liked these kinds of movies, he also rummaged through many similar movies in the last life, such as "Terrorist Cruise", "The Night When the Comet Came", "This Man From Earth", "Moon" and so on. Including the "Source Code" released in April this year, and the script "Ring Messenger" in his hands, these science fiction movies are good or bad, public or small, but they can always taste different.

Renly is looking forward to interacting with screenwriter Ryan Johnson if he can play "The Ringer." He is a liberal arts student, not a physics major, so he must be lacking in professional knowledge, but he is very happy to discuss such topics that only otaku geeks are interested in, and he always feels that he can benefit a lot.

However, "Transcendence" has just been completed, and Renly did not have that kind of urge, and immediately threw himself into the shooting of the next work. Relatively speaking, he is now more eager to visit the underwater world, adjust the pace of life, and enjoy this rare vacation time. Whether it is "Dragon Tiger Youth Team" or "Ring Messenger", they can all wait a little.

If you miss any work because of this period of vacation, you will regret it, but Renly will not be embarrassed. Neither of these two works has reached the point where Renly can't wait to cheer, and after nearly two years in Hollywood, Renly has gradually begun to adapt to the rhythm of life here:

If you miss this work, there will always be the next one. Once you come across a work that makes you crazy, then you should hold it firmly and firmly, because no one is special in Hollywood, and no work is In particular, only if you work hard for it can you make that work that is special to you and become your own work.

What's more, taking a step back, these nine scripts are not formal audition invitations, but only tentative inquiries. For such inquiries, outside of Renly, it is estimated that each crew will find dozens of actors to explore their voices. While the actors are choosing the script, the crew is also choosing the actors, especially 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 seriously, as if they were reading books, as a means of relaxation and entertainment. Including "Super Battleship" and "Alien Battlefield" two scripts.

But before the official reading, he decided to respond to Duke Zhou's call, embrace the warm and comfortable bed, and have a good night's sleep.

No sooner had his head touched the pillow than Renly fell into a drowsy sleep. In the past two months, Renly has never really slept well. In the environment of the Bronx, it seems that Renly has been like a duck to water, but in fact, he must keep his mind tense all the time. , even after habitual numbness, it must be. Because there, if one does not pay attention, one does not pay attention, and catches up, it may be his own life.

No one can take it lightly, and Renly is no exception.

Now, I can finally relax completely and have a good sleep. Soon, Renly's breathing became steady and long. It was only now that Renly had truly left Henry Bart's life.
