The Creator of the Second Dimension

Xu Rong listened to Holofer's experience in creating stories. The indicator of a qualified story is that it can give readers a sense of expectation, and finally satisfy this sense of expectation, just like a brave man who has gone through all kinds of hardships to save the princess, or a boy who is constantly working hard to get To the race champion.

There are a lot of unqualified stories. Either the sense of expectation was given too much, and the audience was not satisfied in the end. For example, it described a powerful magician who came to a different world but only watched him fight wits with the air in the end; The ending deviates from the original expectations. For example, everyone originally wanted to watch a sports animation about a serious big devil abusing people, but it turned into a family ethics drama in the end.

As for an excellent story, it gives readers a full sense of expectation. In the end, while meeting this expectation, it also gives a surprise, which exceeds the sense of expectation.

She now feels that the first two episodes of "Songhai Idol is Legend" are a perfect example.

Through the dramatic reversal at the beginning, it broke all the audience's cognition of idol animation, and at the same time left suspense, that is, how zombies will become idols. The combination of performances makes people surprised and feels reasonable at the same time.

After all, they are all zombies, so there is nothing wrong with singing "death" heavy metal.

And in the second episode, when the audience has gradually accepted the setting of zombie idols performing on stage, they took out the "split action" that only zombies can perform, plus raps that have never appeared in idol animations, etc. It not only satisfies the audience's question of "how zombies are idols and how to perform", but also is unexpected and memorable.

At first glance, it looks like a funny animation, no, because it is a funny animation, the audience's acceptance of the plot will be much higher, and it still takes a little skill to "surprise" them.

Xu Rong stopped typing on the keyboard, read a book or watched an animation every week, and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the recorded works. Some special techniques are the requirements she set for herself. This week is naturally "Songhai Idol is Legend".

After finishing her summary, she immediately had several ideas. She opened a folder named "Inspiration", created a new document in it, and tapped for a while before saving it.

The production of "Breath of the Wild" has entered the middle and late stages. Xu Rong, who is in charge of copywriting, has no need to work overtime. He only needs to carry out targeted repair work, so he seems to be quite free, so he has time to tinker with these things.

The busiest ones now are probably the level design team and the testing team. Since there are 120 temples for solving puzzles in the game, and more than 800 collection elements, plus the main line and branch lines, there is a lot of content.

This continent of Hailar looks empty, but in fact every leaf and every stone has been carefully designed by the designers. I need Xu Rong to describe it. Although there is a bit of boasting in it, this "Breath of the Wild" is no longer Not just a game, but a work of art!

After habitually flirting, Xu Rong came back to her senses and saw the beating on the work software, it was Xu Rui who was looking for her.

[Xu Rong]: Boss, what's the matter?

[Xu Rui]: You don't have any urgent matters for the time being. Call all the people in your group over to the fourth floor of Phantom Media, and bring pens and paper.

[Xu Rong]: OK.

"Phantom Media?"

Xu Rong frowned slightly. She had almost forgotten that there was such a department in the company. Xu Rong only remembered that it was a film and television company acquired in January and February last year. After that, there seemed to be no voice. Now she is calling them over, is it because she wants to write a script? ?

She was suddenly eager to try. Since the previous fan games, Xu Rong has been immersed in the world of game scripts, but as a creator, she naturally has the idea of ​​bringing her own works to the big screen. Now Xu Rui Summoning them, is it to prepare to make a movie or TV series?

After packing up their things, taking their notebooks and signature pens, Xu Rong and other members of the copywriting team went to the Phantom Media next door.

This place is completely different from the beginning. It is well decorated. As soon as Xu Rong walked into the meeting room, she saw Xu Rui and a dark-skinned man.

"This is Zheng Weijie, the director of Phantom Media, and this is Xu Rong, the head of the Hatsune game copywriting team."

Xu Rui gave a brief introduction and asked everyone to sit down.

"Boss, are we going to make some TV series or movies?"

The atmosphere in the company was very relaxed. As soon as I sat down, someone from the copywriting team asked, with a very expectant tone.

"If there is a chance in the future, we will shoot movies and TV shows."

Xu Rui smiled, and then asked someone to close the door, draw the curtains, and turn on the projector.

"However, a work by Phantom Media has already been filmed."

"ah?"

Even Xu Rong was stunned.

Finished filming?

Why did the filming end without making a sound?

I haven't seen any celebrities participating in the crew, and there is no opening ceremony or finishing ceremony?

Don't you even give me a chance to be a guest star?

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Xu Rui switched the slides and showed the screen to the copywriting team.

"What we're shooting is a documentary, a food documentary."

On the big screen, the words "A String of Life" appeared in front of everyone, and behind the calligraphy were kebabs on charcoal fire. In this winter, it was so tempting that someone could even hear the sound of swallowing their saliva quietly.

"Documentary?"

Xu Rong asked back.

In her impression, documentaries are all about the animal world, astronomy and geography, and she has never watched a documentary about food, especially barbecue skewers.

These things can be encountered in daily life, is there any value that needs to be recorded?

She doesn't quite understand.

"When we watch animal documentaries, we experience the idea of ​​all kinds of people competing for freedom from animals multiplying, getting along with and fighting against nature. We watch historical documentaries, watch the change of dynasties, and the history is magnificent. We hope to learn from history."

Xu Rui understood everyone's doubts and explained.

"Our Huaxia has a history of thousands of years. It has a vast land and abundant resources. In terms of food, it is difficult for other countries to match in terms of breadth and depth. There are deep things that can be studied. In addition, the food of Chinese people is usually comparable to that of other countries. Whether it is various idioms or folk tales, our documentary is to reflect Chinese culture in terms of food."

Hearing Xu Rui's words, Xu Rong did have some inspirations. It's not a novel writing technique to express one's will through things, and putting one's feelings on things, but food and culture are indeed a very clever entry point.

Before she could figure it out, Xu Rui said again.

"The job I'm going to hand over to the copywriting team now is to write the narration of this documentary."
