Huayu 05, our science fiction movie universe

Chapter 1 No script at all? NO!

"Boss Huang, just obey me!"

In the old office full of age at the Shangjing Film Academy, seven or eight brand new desks are lined up opposite each other. On the clean desks, various books mixed with teaching plans are piled up into messy hills.

"History of Chinese Film", "Black and White Photography", "Secrets of Hong Kong Films", "English (II)"...

The dim evening sunlight shines through the windows that are more than half a person's height, and shines on the books, giving them a layer of soft glow, making the entire scene seem like a beautiful oil painting.

It is said that if you don’t know how to take pictures, then try taking pictures of the sunrise and sunset. The scene in front of me seems to prove this point.

However, at this moment, in a corner of this warm and beautiful oil painting, a sudden shout broke the quiet and beautiful composition, adding a bit of liveliness to the office.

"Mr. Huang! Mr. Huang! Take another look at this script. It really suits you."

The young figure held the hand of a middle-aged man tightly, and the expression on his face was very sincere.

The middle-aged man was a little amused and helpless, and one could vaguely see that his handsome face when he was young was filled with embarrassment.

"Wang Hao, I've read your script before. To say it's bullshit is a compliment. I think you should think of other ways quickly, or ask your teacher for help. I really can't help you with your graduation project!"

The middle-aged teacher named Huang, who looked somewhat like Xu Zhimo, pulled his hand away forcefully again, but for a young man who was only 1.8 meters tall, the force was not that strong.

"It's ninety-five minutes long, with a small and enclosed setting and rich emotional changes. This is a very difficult one-man show. Among the people I know, only you, Boss Huang, have the acting skills to satisfy this."

The young man, no, it should be said that it was Wang Hao, looked into the eyes of Teacher Huang and said deliberately.

As a mature and experienced time traveler, he knows better how to communicate and interact with adults than college students who are still in the ivory tower.

In particular, he still had the memories of his previous life, and he felt slightly familiar with the Beijing Film Academy star teacher named Huang Lei.

Although this familiarity is mostly through movies, variety shows and some interviews and reports, it is enough.

Sure enough, after hearing what Wang Hao said, our "smart" teacher Huang raised his eyebrows subconsciously, and the strength of his right hand, which was originally about to be pulled out, was reduced a lot.

“Hey, ninety-five minutes!

The previous script wasn’t this long, right?

From what you said, you are not going to make a short film for your graduation project, but are going to make a formal feature film?"

Wang Hao saw that his words really aroused the interest of Teacher Huang, and he nodded immediately and said confidently:

"Yes, I am planning to make a feature film. Now that I have the funding and the script, everything is ready. All I need is a suitable leading actor."

"My requirements are very high. Your previous script was not very good. This time..."

"Teacher Huang, since you criticized me harshly last time, I went back and carefully thought about my script and found that there were indeed many problems hidden in it, so I made some revisions to it. Would you like to take another look at it?"

Wang Hao took out a booklet that was neither thin nor thick from his shoulder bag at the right time and stuffed it into Huang Lei's hand without waiting for Huang Lei to refuse.

"Look, Mr. Huang, please give me some comments. If you are still not satisfied, I will definitely turn around and leave, and will never bother you again!"

After hearing what Wang Hao said, Teacher Huang naturally swallowed back the words of rejection.

In addition, the words the other party had just said really aroused his curiosity, so Huang Lei naturally opened the script.

Before looking at this thing, although Wang Hao's words were very exaggerated, Huang Lei still had a lot of doubts in his heart.

After all, the last time the other party handed him the script was two days ago. In such a short time, wanting to rewrite a complete and excellent script was simply a fantasy for the other party.

He studied directing, not screenwriting!

So in Huang Lei's opinion, Wang Hao was most likely making changes based on the original script and according to his suggestions.

But the story itself is not very outstanding, just like a piece of jade full of flaws. No matter how much it is polished, the final product will be just like that.

However, his view did not last long.

With the sound of "rustling", the pages of the script were turned one by one, and the inattention in Huang Lei's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by solemnity and surprise.

"This is... a psychological thriller!" Huang Lei asked uncertainly without even looking up, "You wrote a new script in two days?"

Wang Hao nodded and then shook his head.

"Well, I did rewrite the script, but it's not a thriller."

Huang Lei then continued to flip through a few pages, "Interesting, is it a romance movie?"

"No!" Wang Hao shook his head again.

After being rejected twice in a row, Huang Lei watched more attentively.

And this state continued until the last page of the script.

When he saw the content on this page, there was surprise on his face at first, then he quickly flipped forward on the script, and finally took a breath.

"Hiss~ This is~"

"Yes, my movie is a science fiction movie!"

Wang Hao smiled reservedly, but he couldn't hide the pride in his eyes.

Huang Lei flipped through the script again, comparing it with the previous and next contents from time to time, nodding with satisfaction and expressing his admiration.

"Interesting, hey, your twist at the end is really interesting.

When I watched your previous plot, I found some parts to be handled very strangely, but combined with this ending, all the problems have reasonable explanations.

The key is that although the scenes of this script are simple, the plot structure is very complete, with smooth transitions, full character arcs, and a strong story.

Tsk, this doesn't seem like the style taught by Old Tian at all, it's more like the routine in Hollywood."

"Teacher Huang has good vision!"

Wang Hao gave a thumbs up and praised Huang Lei.

"I did fill in this script according to the format of a Hollywood commercial film. After all, this is my first film, so I naturally want to play it safe. What matters most is that it can be loved by a large audience and have commercial value."

"Playing it safe? You're still shooting a feature film of more than 90 minutes? Or a one-man show with a single scene? It's just a graduation project, what's the big deal?"

Huang Lei glanced at the grinning Wang Hao and shook his head helplessly. Although he said this, his eyes unconsciously turned to the script.

That being said, the script submitted by Wang Hao this time really hit the spot.
