Chapter 2754 Star Core Rescue (Forty)
Eddie started his work. The only thing that made him feel a little uncomfortable was that Schiller insisted on sitting behind him and watching him work.
People who have worked in literary and artistic creation should understand that the most annoying thing is when others have to come over to take a look at you when you are concentrating on your work, but for the sake of the money, Eddie still held his nose and endured it.
To direct a movie, it is not enough to have only these surveillance camera images. First, you have to create a script based on the timeline, then use special effects to restore the scene at that time, and then use the camera to shoot.
So the first thing Eddie did was to watch all the surveillance videos and write a draft of the script.
Of course, the first surveillance video was about the invisible man, and it also included some of Robbins' resume. Eddie thought about it and began to write:
"Scene: On campus
Time: After school when people are coming and going
Characters: High school student Robbins and his two good friends
Conversation content: Robbins picked up a magic cloak last night. He tried it at home and found that the magic cloak could make him completely invisible, so he invited his two good friends to his home and wanted to use the cloak to play a prank.
Eddie wrote some dialogues casually, and the image of a rebellious teenager and his two bad friends came to life on the paper. The following content was to create their various pranks, playing tricks on teachers and classmates in school, and taking revenge on people who didn't get along with them.
Because this part is not critical, Eddie designed several transitions to create Robbins' naughty image and fully demonstrate the function of the cloak.
Then the plot takes a turn. One of his friends has his girlfriend stolen by someone else. He wants to use the cloak to take revenge on his rival and ruin his party, but Robbins disagrees.
Here Eddie focused on describing Robbins' facial expression. His eyes were wide open, his expression was distorted, and there was an indescribable desire in his eyes. Obviously, this was a foreshadowing set by the camera.
Neither of them could convince the other and they parted unhappily, but the best friend sneaked into Robbins' house and stole the cloak.
When Robbins discovered that his cloak was missing, the emotion that came over him was not anger at being betrayed by his friend, but a deep panic, even madness.
The friend who took the cloak and wanted to cause trouble also ran into trouble. The cloak got out of control at the party, wrapped directly around his rival and swallowed him.
When the angry Robbins came over, there was only a cloak left on the scene, but he didn't care about that at all and wrapped the cloak around himself like a greedy drug addict.
He set out to kill another friend who knew about the cloak, and the cloak could only be his.
Robbins, who succeeded, became more and more crazy. He began to let the cloak devour everyone he disliked. Almost all the police in the block were chasing him, but he didn't care at all.
He just wanted to know how to make the cloak stronger.
Just then, he received news that there was more than one cloak. This powerful artifact had a twin brother when it was produced and was stored in the mysterious Himalayas.
Robbins came to the Himalayas and caused a big fuss at the Kamar-Taj headquarters. Finally, under the obstruction of countless wizards, the cloak revealed its true face. It turned out that this was Dormammu's conspiracy.
Robbins successfully repelled the wizards and came to the hall where the treasures of Kamar-Taj were stored, but just as Dormammu's dark hand reached out for another treasure, the Sorcerer Supreme arrived.
After a fierce battle, the Sorcerer Supreme successfully defeated Dormammu. Robbins woke up and learned that he was controlled by the cloak to do wrong things, and he felt panic about it all.
However, the Sorcerer Supreme saw in him the talent to wield divine weapons. He took off his cloak and held it in his hand. He extended his hand to Robbins and asked him if he would like to know more secrets of Kamar-Taj.
After finishing the last stroke, Eddie looked at his work with great pride. Not bad, a very complete magical adventure story for teenagers. Although it was not very novel, it should suit the appetite of teenagers.
After all, many young people want to pick up a magical weapon on the street and then become a superhero. In recent years, there have been many such movies, and the viewing feedback from young people has been good.
The Sorcerer Supreme also has many fans. After all, people have always been yearning for the mystery of magic. In addition, the special effects of the Sorcerer Supreme are indeed sufficient, and he himself fits everyone's stereotype of a wizard. At the same time, he is a highly skilled doctor who saves lives. His personality is full of attributes, so it would be strange if he didn't have fans following him.
Eddie is confident that this movie will be a hit. Of course, since it is a commercial popcorn movie, mission accomplished if it can make money.
Before he could proudly show the finished script to Schiller, he saw Schiller next to him narrow his eyes and say, "Why did you only write the story of Robbins? What about the rest?"
Eddie was confused by his question. He said, "What's behind?"
"I gave you so many surveillance videos." Schiller pointed to the computer screen and said, "You only filmed the first tenth?"
"Yes, this is the first one." Eddie nodded as a matter of course, but when he saw Schiller's dissatisfied look, he had a bad feeling. He looked at the screen in shock and said.
“You don’t want me to make a movie about all this???”
Schiller nodded.
He actually nodded! Eddie was shocked. How could he nod? !
Eddie stood there for a long while, then he remembered that Schiller was not a director and might not have the professional knowledge in this area, so he began to explain to Schiller earnestly.
"Movies are called condensed dynamic art because they are the shortest among all forms of visual art. Except for those art films, most movies should not exceed four hours, and it is best to keep it within three hours."
"Especially for commercial films, because the time is too short, the storyline must be clear and logical, and there can't be too many side issues, otherwise there will be no focus, and people will be confused when watching it. When promoting it, it will not be able to grasp the key points, and it will be difficult to sell well."
"The most important thing for a popcorn movie is to tell the story clearly." Eddie pointed to his script and said, "I know this story may seem a little childish, but basically every story has its audience. As long as you can tell the story clearly, you can sell tickets to this group of people, at least you won't lose money."
"Do you want me to make an award-winning art film? Then maybe I can add more of Robbins' psychological activities, or change one of his friends into his girlfriend, and add some subplots like teenage love troubles."
Under Eddie's gaze, Schiller slowly shook his head. He pointed at the computer screen very firmly and said, "I want you to make a movie out of all the surveillance videos."
Eddie was transfixed.
He wanted to explain something, but Schiller stopped him and said, "I'm the investor, listen to me."
What else could Eddie do? He had no choice but to watch the video with some resignation. The next part of the video told the story of Sandman Baker.
After reading for a while, Eddie couldn't help but write again, but this time his writing was a little heavier, because many of the Sandman's experiences were a reflection of the changes of the times.
"Scene: On the streets of Brooklyn
Time: Noon when the sun is blazing
Character: William Baker, wearing simple clothes, holding a job advertisement
Character Action: William covered his forehead with a job advertisement and squinted his eyes as he walked through the busy streets. He accidentally bumped into someone, but could only hastily apologize to him because he was just about to apply for a job.
After Eddie turned the page, he began to write the first plot twist. In short, the application was not going well. The current shuttle terminal and the inter-air train transportation dispatch station no longer needed employees like William who did not know new technologies.
William felt very depressed, and then he met with an accident on his way home and gained the abilities of a sand man. Because he had no job, in order to make a living and to help his equally impoverished neighbors, he chose to steal things from construction sites and sell them.
However, because his newly acquired abilities were unstable, he happened to run into an unlucky security guard who was on patrol and severely injured him, and he himself was also wanted.
His life became more and more miserable. He had no place to live and had to hide from others. Since he had no source of income, he had no choice but to commit crimes, and in the process he met Spider-Man.
Later, due to an accident, his ability got completely out of control and turned into a horrible sandstorm, sweeping all the way from the East Coast to the West Coast. In the end, it took the combined efforts of Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America and other veteran superheroes, and the assembly of the Avengers to barely stop him.
After he was arrested, everyone thought that he would definitely spend the rest of his life in jail, including himself. But at this time Spider-Man found him and was willing to help him find a lawyer. With the help of a good lawyer, the case that was initially defined as a terrorist attack was eventually defined as a case of super power loss of control, just like the loss of control of mutant abilities, and he himself was given the opportunity to be released on bail.
But at this time, the misfortune of fate caught up with him again. He had mental problems and was completely unconscious when the disease broke out. He was admitted to a mental hospital, where he met an extremely professional psychologist.
Spider-Man also often visited him. The two of them sat together in front of the window of the mental hospital ward, watching the shuttle whizzing across the sky. During their conversation about the shuttle, William, whose condition had greatly improved, keenly realized that Spider-Man was very likely one of the researchers who developed the shuttle.
This greatly encouraged him, so during his hospitalization, he began to study new electrical engineering knowledge hard, working day and night without getting tired. Spider-Man also brought him a lot of relevant information to help him acquire new professional skills, and the neighbors he had helped before also came, giving him great comfort.
Finally, William walked out of the mental hospital, and later received a notice that his application for employment at the Star Core Space Station had been approved. He took his luggage and boarded the last spacecraft to work at the space station.
After finishing writing, Eddie flipped through the pages, made some minor revisions, and looked more satisfied than when he wrote the story about Robbins. As expected, no director likes to direct commercial films, and topics like this with some deep social discussions are more popular.
Eddie handed the script to Schiller. He thought that although this subject did not explore the impact of the changing times in great depth, it was simple to understand and easy to resonate with people. As long as the filming technique was not shabby, it would have the potential to be both critically and commercially successful.
Unexpectedly, Schiller shook his head again.
