Zhang Ran packed up his things, went to an Internet cafe next to the school, opened a computer, opened a web page, and started searching for information about MP3.

In the past two years, as the consumer market dominated by teenagers continues to expand, people in this year have begun to lead the changes in fashion. In order to pursue fashion, many young people package themselves from the inside out. Fashion products such as MP3, MD, digital cameras have become standard equipment for many people.

At the beginning of this year, the price of DRAM memory plummeted, and the price of MP3 also dropped sharply, and the entire MP3 market became very popular. The domestic MP3 market has already started a fierce war, and the market overlord Samsung is making efforts. Domestic Lenovo, Founder, Shida and other new and old manufacturers are quickly following up and launching their own new models to seize the market.

It is certain that the competition among major manufacturers will become more fierce in the future. Since the competition is fierce, major manufacturers will definitely advertise, and this is Zhang Ran’s opportunity.

After leaving the Internet cafe, Zhang Ran did not stop at all and went home directly. He turned on the computer, quickly typing on the keyboard, and worked hard to modify the script.

Whether it is Mr. Liu's novel or Zhang Ran's script, Cao Lin's message to Cai Yan is written on the wall. Cai Yan saw Cao Lin's words through polarized glasses. Now Zhang Ran decided to change Cao Lin's message method and make it a message through MP3.

Of course, according to the plot of the story, the man in black will check Cao Lin's things. If you leave a message directly, you will definitely be discovered. Therefore, you must change to a more hidden way. Morse code is undoubtedly the best choice.

There are many examples of passing information through Morse code in the movie, such as "The Madness on the Nile", "Infernal Affairs", etc. Leaving a message through Morse code will make "Prisoner of Time" look cooler and more sci-fi.

The script was quickly revised, and some changes occurred in the plot and characters.

Cai Yan became a detective novel fan. After watching "The Madness on the Nile", she was very interested in the plot of Polo sending a signal to the colonel through Morse code. She was learning to use Morse code. When she was fine, she would type a paragraph.

This incident inspired Cao Lin. On the last day, he borrowed Cai Yan's MP3 and left a last word to Cai Yan with the Morse code in MP3.

In this way, MP3 becomes the core prop of the entire movie, which is related to the development of the entire story and will appear many times. Anyone who has watched "Prisoner of Time" must remember the MP3 in Cai Yan's hand. Even when talking about the plot, MP3 is an inevitable topic.

For a product, there is no better publicity than this!

Zhang Ran rereaded the revised script, and the sense of science fiction is stronger and the story is cooler. Cai Yan also appears to be more wise and the character is fuller. He is very satisfied.

Now I’m waiting for the news from the Movie Channel. As long as the Movie Channel passes the third trial and signs the contract, Zhang Ran can use the contract to find an MP3 manufacturer to attract investment.

However, there is still a troublesome thing now. "Prisoner of Time" needs special effects, and Zhang Ran plans to organize teachers and students from the Beijing Electronics Animation Department to do it. There are special effects software AE online, but to make the special effects well, you need some special plug-ins. These plug-ins are not available online, so you can only buy them from the United States.

These plug-ins are very expensive, with a small amount of hundreds of dollars and a large amount of thousands of dollars. Zhang Ran roughly calculated that it costs about 60,000 yuan.

Zhang Ran originally planned to get some money from Qing Film Studio, go to the United States on National Day and buy back the plug-ins you need. At the same time, he can copy some materials from the special effects laboratory of his alma mater. He can use these materials directly when making special effects, which can save time and reduce costs.

Unfortunately, Zhang Ran did not get the money from Qing Film Studio, and the National Day trip was questioned. This matter cannot be delayed. After the movie channel contract was obtained, he had to attend classes and prepare for the movie. Where can he have time to buy software in the United States? The cost must be resolved as soon as possible.

Now there are only about ten days before National Day, so how can I get this money as soon as possible is really a problem.

Zhang Ran sat in front of the table, his fingers gently rhythmically on the table, and he was trying hard to think about the way to make money. As a rebirth, Zhang Ran has memories of the next fourteen years, and there are many ways to make money, especially the Internet, which is simply a huge gold mine, but these ways to make money require a lot of time and energy, and it is not enough.

After thinking about it, Zhang Ran found that there was no good way except selling scripts. Writing scripts is not difficult, but you have to think carefully about what you write.

Whether it is a script or a TV series, it is particularly important to sell the right to play. For example, the income is mainly for selling the right to play. The first round is the most expensive, and the second round will be reduced by half. The third round will basically not be sold at any price. "Soldier Assault" is a very popular TV series. The industry generally believes that "Soldier Assault" can earn at least 5 million, but in fact, "Soldier Assault" only earned 600,000. Because the TV station was not optimistic about "Soldier Assault" at the beginning, the broadcast rights of the first round were sold very cheaply. Later, it became popular on the Internet and gradually became popular after the second round. However, at this time, "Soldier Assault" had been sold for two rounds, so it could not be sold at the price.

Therefore, Zhang Ran must choose the one that looks particularly good and can be popular at first glance, otherwise it will be difficult to sell it in a short period of time.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Ran chose "The Hidden". The theme of spy war is a very popular theme and is very popular among the audience. For example, "The Hidden" and "The Hidden" are all popular works.

However, "The Conspiracy" is adapted from the novel, and the novel should be about to be launched, so it is definitely not possible. "The Hidden" is better. As far as Zhang Ran knows, Dongyang Zhengyu earned more than 10 million with "The Hidden", which is a very good work.

Zhang Ran quickly wrote the first episode of "The Hidden" and read it carefully. There was no problem with the story and the suspense structure was very good, but he just felt something was wrong. I don't know what to say, but it almost tasted. He thought about it carefully and found that the problem was in the lines.

The script of "Luxing" was written by Jiang Wei, who is a script teacher at Beijing Film Academy. The script lines he wrote are all very exciting. Whether it is "Silent Witness" or "Luxing", they all have a unique flavor and a strong personal style.

Zhang Ran’s writing skills cannot be compared with Jiang Wei. He cannot write the original “Luxing” level lines. In fact, it is okay for Zhang Ran to continue writing. The story of “Luxing” is exciting enough and can definitely be sold, but he cannot pass the hurdle in his heart. The things he wrote are worse than others, which is obviously a bad thing.

At this moment, Zhang Ran has a clearer understanding of his script ability. His lines are not his strengths. He should avoid scripts with exquisite lines like "Landing", and those who are verbally polite in "Struggle" are not good either. The story, structure and logic are his strengths. He should choose scripts with strong storylines.

After thinking, Zhang Ran finally chose another excellent spy war work, "Before Dawn", which is a bit different from other spy war dramas. The pace is very fast, the story is compact, and the style is similar to that of American dramas.

"Surprise" is the pioneering work of domestic spy war dramas, and "Luxing" is the masterpiece. After "Luxing", people once doubted whether there would be another breakthrough in spy war dramas, but the appearance of "Before Dawn" made people shine, and while admiring the mountains of "Surprise" and "Luxing", they saw a different breakthrough possibility. "Before Dawn" borrowed the narrative skills of American dramas. In terms of plot design, it seems to be better than "Luxing", but the competition between enemies and us seems more thrilling and extremely tragic. In terms of viewability, "Before Dawn" is not inferior to "Surprise" and "Luxing".

The structure of "Before Dawn" is quite unique, with three groups of characters, the 8th Bureau of the Kuomintang, the sailors underground in the Communist Party of China, and a dormant who had been undercover in the 8th Bureau for many years. These three forms three story lines, the 8th Bureau cracks down on the sailor organization and traces the dormant inside. The sailors and dormants have their own tasks, and they want to destroy the Trojan plan of the 8th Bureau. The three groups of characters and three lines form a fairly stable triangle, which supports the framework of the whole play at once.

"Before Dawn" has a moderate rhythm, and the suspense has been repeated. The psychological analysis techniques in the play and the compact and exciting editing method make the drama exciting. The entire TV series has a strong American drama style. After the TV series was broadcast, it received great praise, which made Wu Xiubo, who was late to become a big star and jumped into the ranks of top stars.

There are three characteristics of American dramas. First, the suspense setting is particularly clever. The use of American dramas to set suspense makes the audience almost breathless during the viewing process, and they are unwilling to miss every detail and the answers to each suspense are revealed.

The second is the fast pace, and the rhythms of domestic TV series and American TV series are very different. The rhythms of domestic TV series are slower than domestic movies; while American TV series are just the opposite, and the rhythms of American TV series are faster than those of Hollywood movies.

Another feature of American dramas is that good people are not necessarily purely perfect, flawless, and bad people are not necessarily completely unforgivable. In American dramas, both positive and negative characters are flesh and blood and vivid.

The three characteristics of American dramas are concentratedly reflected in "Before Dawn". The story has strong suspense and fast pace. It also introduces various criminal investigation methods, anti-reconnaissance methods and intelligence technologies into the drama. It looks very professional and gives the audience a sense of uncertainty. In character creation, the tradition of belittling opponents was broken. The Kuomintang's eighth game is full of flesh and blood people, and these people are very powerful. In the end, they are not defeated by technology, but by the general trend of the world.

Zhang Ran is very clear about the American drama screenwriter model. The scripts of American dramas are similar to Hollywood movies. Each episode has several suspense. In which time period each suspense appears, these rules are summarized. He believes that the scripts he wrote can be better in suspense and rhythm than the original "Before Dawn" and closer to the style of American dramas. At the same time, he can also extract exciting plots from the American dramas in memory and put them in "Before Dawn" to make the whole story look better.

Zhang Ran wrote until three in the morning that he wrote the first episode of "Before Dawn". He only slept for more than two hours, so when he was doing morning exercises in the morning, he had big dark circles.
