2153 Massive information
Objectively speaking, according to the original script setting of "Lobster", there are not many problems in the first part, and even copying it can be done. What really happens is that the second part cannot echo the previous one, which is why Lan Li raised the question:
Either modify the second part, but Lan Li doesn't know how to modify it for the time being; or modify the role, and then make corresponding adjustments to the contents of the first and second parts, and then extends more meanings. Lan Li chose the second one because he is an actor, not a screenwriter or director, and his perspective limits his way of thinking.
Now, Renli is trying to convince Ouges that modifying the character can also make the story round and full. After the first part is over, it should be the second part of the focus.
"So, David came to the forest."
"There are two positions between David and that woman. David believes in love, while women believe in the system. The woman likes David and decides to use David to return to the city. So she starts to keep hints to David, making David think she fell in love with him, and David did fall in love with her. Even though she knew that the forest leader was against love, she rushed over like a moth to the flame and followed the woman back to the city, even blinding her eyes for the woman, but in fact everything is just a woman's trap."
Lan Li explained the clues of the entire second part in one go. In fact, if David's character setting is completed, the story direction of the second part will naturally become natural because the character becomes vivid, so the plot and story will become natural.
"Wow." The amount of information ignited Ouges' brain again, "Wait, wait!" Ouges took a deep breath, "You mean that women believe in this system and use David for this system? But the question is, why did women be sent to the hotel at the beginning, and then missed the opportunity to find a partner and escape to the forest?"
"This is another part of what we need to discuss, the setting of a woman." Lanli's words made Ouges open his mouth slightly, his eyes full of shock, and then Lanli chuckled, "As I said, after the entire story background is formulated, the setting of the male and female protagonists will determine what kind of reflection the audience will have."
"I think women can have two choices. The first is that she, like David, has gone through everything, but she chose the negative side and went to darkness. However, this conception is too simple and crude, and lacks novelty and levels; I personally prefer the second choice."
"Preferring interests first!"
"Women thinks love and marriage can be bought and sold, and everything in the world is like this. She once had a stable marriage, but was betrayed, so she was forced to come to the hotel. She found a partner, and was betrayed for the second time, and was forced to flee from the forest. David believed in love, while women believed in interests. Although the experience was very similar, it led to different results. This also made them appreciate each other. The woman chose David as her next target, and David did fall in love with women. He thought that women and he were fellow travelers."
Lanli said this and paused for a moment. Ouges digested it carefully for a moment, and then asked, "So, aren't women's thoughts consistent with the forest? Why did she give up the forest and return to the city?"
"The forest's idea is another extreme, but they are just opposing love to oppose the family, which makes them stand opposite to the hotel. They think this institution is a cancer of society, but they don't realize that the hotel itself is a part of society. Women are even more extreme."
"A woman can make use of everything for the sake of her interests. She can make use of love, family, hotels, and forests. Simply put, survival of the fittest is Darwin's important theory. She is the highest level of the society you conceived. She is even more advanced than the forest. Or she herself did not realize that she is growing into the ultimate form, but the whole process continues to develop."
"She can always survive!"
"We can look at the role of a woman. In the end, she evolved into the kind of person who once hurt her, that is, the elite of society, and David evolved into the next 'woman' because when greater interests arise, she would abandon David and put David in a painful cycle again."
"She even coaxed David to blind her eyes for her own benefit."
At this point, Lanli's words finally paused completely, and the brainstorm in Ouges's mind had just reached the first peak, and countless thoughts were surging vigorously, and he couldn't stop at all:
David is used as the main line to connect the whole story, but the entire core drama falls on women. Through women's conspiracy, David's in simplicity is reflected, and then the structure of the entire society is reflected, mocking the so-called system, mocking the so-called freedom, and mocking the so-called love.
More importantly, the audience can obtain the information they hope to get from the choices of David and women, which is the most important thing.
The complexity that Ouges hoped to present is now presented in Renli's conception.
Lan Li did not modify the script framework, but modified the character settings. Then, starting from the character, it extended more branch details of the story, and enriched the entire story; at the same time, it condensed the core of the whole story. Although there are still contradictions in the story settings of the hotel and the forest, and the entire pattern cannot open up the situation, through David and women, more aspects of society can be seen.
Wonderful! Really wonderful!
The charm of the character is revealed at this moment, and even makes the whole story shine brightly. Ouges's setting is truly carried forward.
Ogs could hardly resist the urge to cheer and applaud. The passionate and surging emotions made him stare at Renli intently and excitedly, but he couldn't say a word, and even the words of thanks remained at the tip of his tongue, extremely urgent and extremely embarrassed.
Lanli was waiting for Ouges' response and was about to continue discussing the characters and scripts, but she saw Ouges's expression but stopped. In a vague way, Lanli realized that Ouges' intention was because of his remarks that he began to feel sorry again?
"If you're sorry now, does that mean, I got the character?" Renli joked in a relaxed and joking manner.
Ouges finally smiled, "I'm even more curious about where these ideas came from?"
"Diverful thinking." Lan Li said half-jokingly, "In fact, these ideas are still things in your story. It's just that I have given some different inspiration. Brainstorming can often give the story more possibilities, good and bad. My ideas collide with your ideas, and produce more things. In the end, the main creator needs to determine a tone and integrate them. These are mature and perfect processes in the American film industry system, and it is also the reason why producers can hold power."
Because the producer is the core of the creator, he concentrates all his ideas, determines the tone, and then the screenwriter and director and others complete the specific execution. An excellent producer can give correct guidance and knows how to control and decentralize power; while a mediocre or bad producer is the opposite.
The core producer of the Marvel series is Kevin Feige. In the early stages of the Marvel Universe, there are still many differences within Marvel Studios. The one who grasps the tone and story direction of the entire film series is an independent department within the company: the Marvel Creative Committee.
Behind the works such as "Iron Man", "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Captain America 2", "Avengers", etc., the Marvel Creative Committee can be seen, and they are responsible for controlling the core creative content of the movie, especially those parts that are detailedly related to the original comics, which ensures the quality of the movie.
But later, Kevin Feige and the Marvel Creative Committee had a disagreement. In September 2015, conflicts broke out between the two sides, and Kevin Feige threatened to resign. Then the two sides started a power struggle, which ended with Feige's victory. After that, Disney did not interfere with the creativity of the Marvel series, and Feige held the banner alone.
After that, the works such as "Captain America 3", "Spider-Man", "Guardians of the Galaxy 2", "Avengers 34", "Black Panther", "Thor 3" are all controlled by Feiqi's style and creative direction. It can be clearly seen that the commerciality and entertainment of the movie have begun to improve. For the architecture of the entire Marvel Universe, the colors of the original comics are gradually fading, and those scientific principles, comic characteristics, and otaku attributes have all disappeared, and then the series of movies have been evolved into assembly line assignments step by step:
It reduces the characteristics and personality, but ensures average quality. This has also become an opportunity for Marvel movies to create history.
The topic returned to the ranks of core producers. At this time, Lan Li never wanted to seize the initiative. He did not change the entire story significantly and extensively. Then he looked forward to the story revolving around the male protagonist and forming a one-man show to become the male protagonist. Instead, he used the concept of Ouges to improve the character information and derive the story core; the final integration and control still needed Ouges to complete it.
In the work "Lobster", Ouges plays the role of "Kevin Feige".
Ouges stared at Renly with mixed eyes, but he still honestly expressed his thoughts, "...I thought you were trying to take the initiative in creation."
This is also the reason why Ouges always has hostility to Lanley: For real art creators, they do not want their works to be controlled by others and have nothing to do with the object. Any object is treated equally. They hope to be able to take the initiative in their creation, especially in Europe.
This is their persistence in art.
