Chapter 338. Narration
Xu Rong heard Holofei tell his experience in creating stories. The indicator of a qualified story is to give readers a sense of expectation and ultimately satisfy this sense of expectation, just like a brave man who has gone through hardships to save the princess, or a boy who has been working hard to win the competition championship.
There are many unqualified stories, either because they give too much expectation and are not satisfied in the end. For example, when a powerful magician descends to another world, he only watches him fighting wits and courage with the air; or the ending of the story is different from the initial expectations. For example, everyone originally wanted to watch a serious sports animation of a great devil who abused people, but it turned into a family ethics drama.
As for excellent stories, they give readers a full sense of expectation. Finally, while satisfying this expectation, they also give surprises, surpassing the expectation.
She now thinks that the first two episodes of "Pine Sea Idol is a Legend" are a perfect example.
Through the dramatic reversal at the beginning, the audience broke all their perception of idol animation, and left a suspense, that is, how zombies will become idols. The live in the first episode combines heavy metal rock, which is inseparable from idols, which is shocking and reasonable.
After all, they are all zombies, so there is no problem singing "death" heavy metal.
In the second episode, when the audience gradually accepted the setting of zombie idols performing on stage, they took out a "separation action" that only zombies can carry out. In addition, raps that have never appeared in idol animations, not only satisfy the audience's question of "how zombies are idols and how to perform", but also unexpectedly and makes people feel endless aftertaste.
At first glance, it is a funny animation. No, because it is a funny animation, the audience will have a much higher acceptance of the plot. It still requires some skills to "surprise" them.
Xu Rong stopped typing the keyboard, read a book every week, or watched an animation, and analyzed and recorded the advantages and disadvantages of the work. Some special techniques were the requirements she set for herself, and this week was naturally "Songhai Idol is a Legend".
After she finished the summary, she suddenly had several ideas, so she opened a folder called "Inspiration" and created a new document in it. She tapped it for a while before she saved it.
The production of "Breath of the Wild" has entered the middle and late stages. Xu Rong, who is responsible for copywriting, no longer needs to work overtime, only needs to repair it in a targeted manner, so she seems quite leisurely and has time to tinker with these things.
The busiest ones now are probably the level design group and the test group. Since there are 120 temples used to solve puzzles in the game, as well as more than 800 collection elements, plus the main line and branch lines, there is a lot of content.
This Hailar continent looks empty. In fact, every leaf and every stone are carefully designed by designers. Xu Rong is for description. Although there is a bit of a boastful element in it, "Breath of the Wild" is no longer just a game, but a work of art!
After a habitual yy, Xu Rong came to her senses and saw that the work software was jumping. It was Xu Rui looking for her.
[Xu Rong]: Boss, what's the matter?
[Xu Rui]: There should be no urgent matters on your side for the time being. Call all the people in your group to the fourth floor of Huandian Media and bring paper and pen.
【Xu Rong】: OK.
"Fantasy Media?"
Xu Rong frowned slightly. She almost forgot that there was such a department in the company. Xu Rong only remembered that it was a film and television company that she acquired in January and February last year. After that, there seemed to be no sound. Now she asked them to come over. Is it necessary to write a script?
She suddenly felt a little eager to try it out. Since the previous fan game, Xu Rong has been immersed in the world of game scripts. However, as a creator, she naturally had the idea that her work would be brought to the big screen. Now that Xu Rui summoned them, is he going to prepare for a movie and TV series?
After packing up his things, taking the notebook and signature pen, Xu Rong and other people from the copywriting team arrived at Fantasy Media next door.
This place is completely different from the beginning, and it is decorated in a very nice way. As soon as Xu Rong walked into the conference room, she saw Xu Rui and a dark-skinned man.
"This is Zheng Weijie, director of Fantasy Media, and this is Xu Rong, the head of Hatsune Game Copywriting Team."
Xu Rui briefly introduced it and let everyone sit down.
"Boss, are we going to make any TV series and movies?"
The atmosphere in the company was very relaxed. As soon as I sat down, someone from the copywriting team asked, his tone was very much looking forward to it.
"If you have the chance in the future, you will be filmed."
Xu Rui smiled, then asked someone to close the door, pull up the curtains, and turn on the projector.
"But a work by Fantasy Media has been filmed."
"ah?"
Even Xu Rong was stunned.
Finished shooting?
Why did you finish the filming without sound?
I have never seen any celebrities attending the crew, and there is no ending ceremony for the opening ceremony?
Don't even give me a chance to play a cameo?
Seeing everyone's puzzled expression, Xu Rui switched the slideshow and showed the picture to the copywriting team.
“We were shooting a documentary, a food documentary.”
On the big screen, the words "A String of Life" appeared in front of everyone. Behind the brush is the grilled lamb skewers on the charcoal fire. This winter, it is extremely tempting, and you can even hear the sound of someone swallowing quietly.
"Documentary?"
Xu Rong asked back.
In her impression, documentaries are all high-end things like animal world, astronomy and geography. She has never seen a documentary targeting food, especially barbecue kebabs.
These things can be encountered in daily life. Is there any value that needs to be recorded?
She doesn't quite understand.
"We see animal documentaries, and from the reproduction and survival of animals, getting along with nature, we can experience the idea of all kinds of people competing for freedom in frost sky. We watch historical documentaries, dynasties change, and the magnificent history, and hope to learn from history."
Xu Rui knew everyone’s doubts and explained.
"We in China have a history of thousands of years, and are vast and diverse. In terms of eating, both breadth and depth are difficult for other countries to reach. There are deep things to study here. In addition, Chinese people's eating is usually linked to culture. Whether it is various idioms or folk stories, our documentary wants to reflect the culture of China from the perspective of diet."
After hearing Xu Rui's statement, Xu Rong had some inspiration. It was not a novel writing technique to express her aspirations and express her feelings to her. Food and culture are indeed a very clever entry point.
Before she could figure it out thoroughly, Xu Rui said again.
"The work that is now being prepared to hand over to the copywriting team is to write the narration of this documentary."
