Chapter 445: Detailed question
When Yan Fei called Xi Muhan, Xi Muhan had just gotten up and had not had time to wash his face.
This time, although Shen Xin provided the background and settings for the creation of the outline, she must first understand the meaning of these settings. After all, she did not create her own creation. Afterwards, she searched for information and wrote the outline. Xin discussed and revised, an 11-episode TV series, with a revised outline of 70,000 characters, plus a plot and ambush pen. Half a month's time is barely enough.
When receiving Yan Fei's call, Xi Muhan was uneasy.
"Is it the news from District 11?"
"Ok."
"How is it?" Xi Muhan was nervous, with a hint of expectation in his heart.
Yan Fei took a deep breath, "Sorry, District 11... Supervisor Shoji did not agree."
"Ah? Why?" Xi Muhan asked puzzledly.
"Wait a minute, I will translate the email he wrote and send it to your mailbox."
"Oh……"
Xi Muhan was a little lost. He came back to his senses, and just wanted to thank Yan Fei, only to find that the other party had hung up the phone, so he came to the workbench feebly.
"What's wrong?" Shen Xinhao asked.
"failed."
Xi Muhan looked frustrated, scratched his head, and looked even more haggard before he had time to clean up his hair.
Shen Xin didn't 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 the earth's screenwriter has no status.
From a logical point of view, there are also many authors on the earth who have written scripts.
But Xi Muhan has no experience in this area, and the partner is from District 11. The language is not fluent and it is very inconvenient to communicate, and no one can give any suggestions. As a result, the progress was not as smooth as expected.
Shen Xin didn't know how to write the script. Seeing Xi Muhan's sad face, he said: "Or, you write it as a novel, and then let the people in District 11 adapt it?"
"Brother Xin, this time it's a fine outline...it has nothing to do with the novel." Xi Muhan pouted, his eyes pitiful, and tears were about to shed.
"..."
This is really a problem.
Shen Xin recalled the detailed outline, but did not find too many problems.
It's nothing more than the emperor of Xingguo who is critically ill, and a series of fights started from this. Isn't this kind of plot work? Or is it too cliché?
Uh...Let's take a look at Shoji Uno's opinion first, right?
Soon, Yan Fei translated Chuang Si Uno's suggestion into Chinese and sent it to Xi Muhan. Shen Xin also had the opportunity to understand Chuang Si Uno's views.
"The rhythm is procrastinated, the topic is late, and the rhythm and style are inconsistent with "Steel Refining". It is not that the story takes place in Xingguo and can be played freely. The original plot must also reflect the original.
"One is to explain two roles, and the other is to introduce alchemy (it seems that alchemy should be reflected in "Steel Refining"). But the detailed outline only reflects the first point, and the second point is not mentioned. It is recommended to add In addition, the character’s fate is simple, growth is limited, and the outline and setting are not heavy enough. It is recommended to rewrite it."
"What do you mean?" Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin puzzledly.
"Uh..." Shen Xin scratched his head, "I know a little bit. Generally speaking, an animation needs to be included in the title quickly, that is, to attract readers to the front. The first few episodes don't need too much foreshadowing. Let’s introduce the key characters first. This step is mainly about two characters and alchemy. Then, these two should come out in advance...at least, in the first three episodes. I think so."
"Then... how to explain the fate of the character simply, and the lack of a sense of weight... the fate of the character is already very tortuous, and Zhang Mei almost died."
"I'm afraid the problem lies in the word'almost'."
"Huh? You mean to let Zhang Mei...isn't she appearing in "Steel Refining"?"
"You can make other people die... Like a role that usually has a good relationship with her, the supporting role serves the plot."
"what?"
"Have you heard of the'third story effect'?" Shen Xin asked.
"do not know."
"Simply put, it is a cartoon that suddenly changed its style in the third episode. For example, the previous plot was lighter, but in the third episode, the plot suddenly changed and someone died suddenly."
The creator of the "Effect of Chapter Three" was "Magic Girl Madoka Magica", and Bamami suddenly passed away in Chapter Three, which surprised many readers.
It's not that the rumor has to do this, but there is a turning point in the story.
"How heavy? The history of Xingguo has been written into the outline."
Shen Xin shook his head. He is not Chuang Si Uno, how could he guess his thoughts?
"There are also characters that have limited growth... There are only 11 episodes of animation, the protagonist... and there are still two, how do you show growth?" Xi Muhan bit his lip and frowned.
Shen Xin didn't know what to do.
This time the creative plot does not exist in the original, that is to say, he and Xi Muhan will create a plot with a quality that cannot be too different from the original.
Seeing the lost Xi Muhan~lightnovelpub.net~Shen Xin also felt nervous for the first time.
Original...is the original creation of "Steel Refining" again...
No one knows what kind of script can be written.
"It's okay, everyone will think of a way together, and there will be ideas." Shen Xin comforted.
Xi Muhan sat in front of the computer, looking at the screen blankly, without eating dinner.
When Shen Xin saw Xi Muhan like this, he also lost his appetite for food.
Now, Xi Muhan has doubts about himself. If he doesn't support her anymore, Xiaohan will probably be in a slump.
"There is no sense of heaviness... the protagonist has not grown... where do you start?"
Shen Xin read the detailed outline written by Xi Muhan again.
Shoji Uno must have a basis for saying that. What he did right should be "Steel Refining."
So, where does this kind of weight and role growth manifest?
Edward's strength increased?
Shen Xin shook his head, even in the end, Edward's strength was not the strongest. However, those who have watched "Steel Refining" have to admit that Edward is much more mature.
As for the detailed outline, although it is not as detailed as Zheng, the highlights are still involved. The growth of the role is undoubtedly a bright spot. The detailed outline of the network novel also requires the same, for example, what event escalation the protagonist is completing must be mentioned.
So, how did Edward grow up in "Steel Making"?
Shen Xin recalled "Steel Refining" from beginning to end.
At the same time, Xi Muhan is also thinking about another issue.
Whether a work has a heavy feeling depends on whether the content reflects a sense of history on the one hand, and whether there is connotation on the other hand.
What is the meaning of "Steelmaking"? Equivalent exchange? Or alchemy?
Xi Muhan scratched his head, got up and turned over the comics of "Steel Refining".
