Chapter 0010: A New Perspective

two hours

Generally speaking, scriptwriting is a very tedious and challenging task, taking as little as one month and as long as six months to a year, which is quite common

Lu Qian, however, paid no attention to Ji Xu's jesting and proceeded to delve into the main topic.

Lu Qian needs to persuade Ji Xu that the idea of taking on the role of director is not merely a casual thought, nor is it a desperate alternative born out of a predicament, but rather a passion that comes from the depths of his heart. He possesses both the capability and the strength to do so

If an artwork is merely immersed in self-appreciation, it loses the opportunity to communicate with other lives, which is undoubtedly a great regret

Jixu's expression was very serious, causing the atmosphere to become tense as well, which made Lu Qian's expression pause slightly

Lu Qian did not speak, but instead focused intently on searching for the storyboard.

Divergent opinions are also a very important aspect of scriptwriting. Insisting on a solitary approach and working behind closed doors makes it difficult to spark creativity, as films themselves are the result of the collision of different artistic aesthetics

"Classmate Ji." As Ji Xu was about to digress with his rambling, Lu Qian had to interject.

As a producer, Ji Xu is certainly not just talk; his ability to control the overall situation and his keen sense for market predictions are essential skills that he possesses

The friend before me is indeed a stranger

The continuous pleas for mercy finally caused Lu Qian to stop his actions, but Ji Xu still howled in pain, his grimacing face completely devoid of any handsome qualities. He stole a glance at Lu Qian, and then heard Lu Qian say with a serious expression.

With a swift motion, Lu Qian directly grabbed the books on the table and hurled them fiercely at Ji Xu.

Jixu hurriedly raised his hands to block the attack, repeatedly pleading for mercy, "Aqian, calm down, calm down!" However, the uncontrollable laughter that escaped him revealed his joy and delight. As a result, his calf was struck by a thick book on film history, and he immediately clutched his leg, grimacing in pain and begging for mercy.

Ji Xu is not a producer without thoughts or opinions; on the contrary, he is a troublesome and difficult producer, which is why he fell out with the previous director. However, in the presence of Lu Qian, the entire feeling and atmosphere are completely different, as if everything has become clear.

Neither Ji Xu nor Lu Qian realized that this "formality" audition lasted a full two hours

I personally find it very enjoyable; I believe it is more interesting and substantial than the original script. It is no longer merely a thriller, but also possesses a driving core, which implies that the relationships between characters and the narrative structure have the potential for further development.

I am sorry, I am really sorry, A Qian, I like it very much, really! Really, really!

Remarkably swift

Slowly, Ji Xu raised his head, propping his chin up with his right hand, his gaze focused on Lu Qian's face

The script has finally been completed, and now it is time for the review stage, taking into account the opinions of the audience

The narrative is truly eye-opening

The narrative emitted a low murmur, with the final notes elongated, as if caught in the quicksand of contemplation. The tense emotions subtly lifted, particularly as a pair of thick eyebrows knitted together, allowing one to clearly sense his difficulty and struggle. A sense of pessimistic anxiety gradually permeated the air.

The script has passed, marking a solid first step, which allowed Lu Qian to relax slightly, yet he did not completely let his guard down, and immediately proceeded to the key points

Jixu glanced at Lu Qian and said, "Moreover, I believe that the market performance should be good. If it is entrusted to me, I am confident that I can make the issuing company invest money."

Art, after all, is a medium that requires communication, dialogue, and interaction

Lu Qian feigned indifference, slightly turned his head, gently lifted his chin, and with a sidelong glance at the script, asked, "How is it?"

When creating a script, the visuals have already formed in my mind; lighting is key, and we need to skillfully utilize lighting to create the atmosphere for the film

As soon as the words were spoken, Ji Xu noticed that Lu Qian's eyes brightened slightly, resembling two small light bulbs. This made Ji Xu take a step back, "Your eyes seem like those of a king cobra, what is going on?"

Please wait a moment, I have drawn some storyboards

What is the matter? Are there many issues with the script

Jixu could clearly sense the focus and passion radiating from Lu Qian. Step by step, he realized that his friend was absolutely serious about his work as a director. Thus, he organized his thoughts and entered a professional state, temporarily setting aside their friendship to adopt a producer's mode of business.

Moreover, this is still an audition opportunity

Jixu also entered a professional state, "The script is fine. To be honest, I did not expect your script to bring such surprises. If I had known earlier, I would have directly handed the script to you to write. I spent thirty thousand on that screenwriter back and forth..."

Lu Qian looked into Ji Xu's eyes and asked, "Now, do you believe that I am serious?"

Watching Ji Xu meticulously flipping through the script, Lu Qian seemed to hear the sound of time flowing. He had to exert all his strength to control the impulse to strangle this guy and force him to confess. Then he saw Ji Xu slowly raise his head, revealing a thoughtful expression.

However, this time the adaptation of the script for the land infiltration was merely a revision, and the original framework was already very clear, with the work completed in just two weeks

Even in the presence of dissent and doubt, the narrative is always able to find answers

Tick tock

Jixu quickly raised his hand to signal and said, "However, the screenwriter and the director are two different roles, you should know that, right? How do you plan to present the film?"

Although you do not care about appearance, a handsome man remains handsome no matter how he messes around, but you should not treat yourself this way

Thump thump

Finally

I am serious, the script is excellent, there is nothing to criticize, I really like it

Saying this, Lu Qian eagerly rummaged through his belongings to find his computer, preparing to show it to Ji Xu

Please provide a serious evaluation! Be serious! I need your opinion, Ji classmate, this is your film, and I also hope it can become my film, is that alright?

Moreover, the innovative narrative approach should be able to open up new possibilities

It is not about catering to the market or the audience, but rather about how this communication and interaction can imbue art with vitality, which is something that is often overlooked in the creative process

Correct!

Well ... ...

Jixu was utterly shocked, "You actually created storyboards while writing the script?"

This is especially true for films

This is the most important thing

How long has it been since you last shaved? Your appearance is really unacceptable, it looks as if you are a homeless person

The main focus is on Lu Qian's elaboration, detailing his conceptualization of the film's visuals, how to utilize lighting and sound to create a unique viewing experience, and how to present different viewing experiences through distinctive filming techniques; very rarely, Ji Xu will pose some questions, all of which can be answered reasonably.

Aqian, may I speak the truth

The speed of surrender is the fastest in the universe, and Ji Xu is truly a good man who can bend and stretch!

Jixu understood that Lu Qian was serious and did not joke any further, sitting up straight again
