Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Edward felt that his academic career was about to reach its peak.

Ever since he entered the lake to collect materials, when he climbed ashore wet, endless ideas emerged in his mind.

Countless ideas and a broader space kept appearing in his mind.

He believed that he was different and was a person favored by the world. Otherwise, how could he explain these unheard-of ideas that appeared in his mind?

Each idea is so unique and perfect.

He firmly believed that as long as he could film the ideas in his mind, he would become the greatest director.

Before falling into the water, he had just spent a week studying here, and the knowledge related to directing and screenwriting seemed to him to be exquisite.

But after falling into the water, all the filming knowledge in the library seemed too outdated. In his opinion, it was not new enough, not surprising enough, not detailed enough, and not attractive enough.

Edward wanted to make a splash.

So he immediately gathered a group of people.

Many of his former classmates have switched to screenwriting, and are now of great use to him.

As for these people, they have only studied for a week...will they be lacking in ability?

Edward was not worried about this at all. He knew his classmates' abilities inside and out, and he needed to use new people so that he could have absolute say.

He doesn't need a lot of autonomy as a screenwriter. He just needs the editor and his own ideas to restore the images in his mind one by one.

It is not difficult.

Edward's previous classmates, as screenwriters who had just enrolled, were still in the learning process and had no income. When they received Edward's invitation, they naturally accepted it without hesitation.

Although I am a little curious as to why there are so many seniors who can choose, but only those whose professional level is not particularly solid are chosen. However, since I have a job, I won’t think too much about it.

Maybe it really was because of their previous relationship as classmates?

Dwight, a freshman screenwriter, doesn't understand but respects.

Dwight started spitting out water when he saw Edward.

Screenwriting is a tough job. Movies and TV series are not taken seriously, and the screenwriting industry is also a sunset industry. Every screenwriter has to write scripts, but the number of directors who are qualified to shoot every year is limited, and naturally there are even fewer who can be selected from the massive amount of scripts.

Not to mention when you are in school, even after graduation it is very common to have no income for a long time and just rely on the minimum living allowance to survive.

Edward waved his hand. "I didn't call you here to listen to your complaints. How are your studies going?"

Dwight puffed out his chest, patting it loudly: "You're still worried about someone from our school?"

"I've completed all the beginner courses and more than half of the intermediate courses. During this week, I wrote two short plays, one of which was a fairy tale. I sold it to a library and made a lot of money."

Having said that, Dwight couldn't help but feel proud.

Not everyone has the ability to write a script that meets library standards in just a week, even if it's just a fairy tale.

Thinking of this, Edward had an idea.

Ok?

fairy tales?

Can I create the Harry Potter series of stories?

From my memory, this story should be a very promising film series. Although it is a fairy tale, the objective description of another world and the magical and illogical magic are very novel and should be liked by many people.

However, this matter will be put aside for now.

After all, he doesn't have many credits now and doesn't have many resources to use. If he wants to rebuild a whole new magical world, it is almost foreseeable that all materials will have to be customized by himself, and the expenses will be uncontrollable.

There is no problem with the introductory stage you have chosen, so start with the movie The Terminator which has the most common material.

Edward said to him, "This is not a one-man show. I need to finish this as quickly as possible. If you need other people's resources, I can give you permission to find others."

Dwight waved his hand and said, "Of course I know what you mean. Don't worry, I've already selected a group of people. Each of them has their own unique strengths. As long as you put forward your requirements for any script, we can produce it for you in a short time."

“Of course, the initial version may not necessarily meet your requirements, but we will revise it quickly. This is our advantage over others.”

The others here refer to senior students in higher grades, or idle screenwriters in society.

Although theoretically, Edward has promised to hand over the script to him, words are not enough. Who knows whether Edward will change his mind? It is not a bad thing to make more promises at this time.

Edward nodded. "That would be great. Now let's talk about the overall idea of ​​the movie."

When Dwight heard Edward say this, he knew that his position was basically stable, and as long as no major mistakes were made later, he would not be at risk of being replaced.

When it came to his own expertise, Dwight Little became serious. He used the connector on his wrist to switch to his editing interface. "Tell me what you think. I'll write it down. We'll analyze it one by one and confirm it with you."

In Dwight's opinion, the film ideas of a respected film director are mostly abstract and general.

For example, what is the setting? Is it a tragedy or a comedy? What is the character of the protagonist? What is the overall direction of the story? What commercials should be inserted in the story?

These are all general concepts. Ultimately, it is up to the screenwriter to create a suitable script, which is the requirement of customization.

General and detailed.

The generality is reflected in the generality of the ideas provided, and the detail is reflected in the detail of the final acceptance.

But as soon as Edward opened his mouth, Dwight realized he was wrong, very wrong.

After seeing Dwight's preparation, Edward praised him:

"Very good, this is what I admire about you."

"Let me briefly tell you the overall story of this script."

"After a nuclear war in the 21st century, Earth was ruled by robots. The surviving humans gathered together to resist the robots' brutal rule. To eliminate the leader of humanity's struggle against machine rule, the robot rulers sent a killer back to the 20th century to assassinate the mother of the leader of the human resistance movement..."

At first, Dwight didn't take it seriously.

What kind of unique method of calculating the 21st and 20th centuries is this? It seems like a story from another world.

But as Edward spoke, Dwight's expression became more and more serious.

"...Soon after, Sarah discovered she was pregnant with Kyle's child, who would become the future leader of the human resistance movement. This is where the first film ends. I anticipate there might be two or three more, but I'm not sure of the exact number yet; I'll judge by market reaction."

After Edward finished speaking, he looked at Dwight, whose face was stern and looked like a statue of a thinker. He was slightly stunned and asked, "Uh, why do you look like that? Is there something wrong?"

Dwight looked at the words he had written, took a deep breath, and looked at Edward seriously: "Do you have a crush on me?"

"Huh?" Dekater was stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately cursed, "Get lost, I have a crush on you. Do you want to do this job? If not, there are plenty of people who can do it."

"Do it, do it."

Dwight glanced at the contents of the record page and sighed:

"Isn't that just worrying? If she hadn't secretly loved me, how could such a good thing happen to me?"

"Tell me in secret, Mr. Edward. I'm very good at keeping secrets. Just tell me where you got this script secretly, or did your father support you?"

Edward: "No one supports me. This is all my own idea."

"Great!" Dwight gave a thumbs up. "It's a good thing you didn't become a screenwriter. Otherwise, how would I have gotten ahead with you in the lead?"

Edward couldn't stand Dwight's sarcasm, so he clenched his right hand, closed one eye and took aim, as if thinking about where on Dwight the punch should hit.

Dwight Little raised his hands in surrender, and sighed at the recorded content:

"awesome."

"What an interesting historical fictionalist hypothesis. I particularly like the alternate history section, which perfectly captures the identities of humans and AI. It also provides an in-depth analysis of the current scenario of harmonious interaction between AI and humans, demonstrating how hard-won this current environment is."

"If we had taken a wrong step at some point in the past, the outcome might have been exactly like this, and humanity would have been extinct."

"With AI-powered conception becoming increasingly popular, the romantic story of traditional conception in the script might inspire a large number of people to abandon their AI partners and bravely try contact with other humans. Of course, the final outcome may not be good."

"However, I believe in my judgment. This script, whether it is made into a movie or a TV series, will definitely be a big hit as long as it can be made."

A smile appeared on Edward's face.

"So you think this movie is good too."

"Of course, as a professional screenwriter, I have to be brave enough to make my own judgment. But there's another important question. To be honest, Skynet in this movie is a bit like... that. Will this show really pass muster?"

Dwight was skeptical.

Although this script is good, if you insist on saying that it is intended to intensify the conflict between AI and humans, it is indeed a little dangerous.

After all, the future world setting of this script is that AI controls the entire world and destroys humanity.

Although Dwight himself believes that in the current world, the benefits of AI to humans far outweigh the disadvantages, and it can even be said that there are no disadvantages.

But if we compare the future described in the movie script with the present, there are indeed similarities. For example, it seems that Ai's authority is indeed a little bit large.

Dwight could foresee that once the movie was released, there would definitely be many people maliciously speculating whether AI would replace or even keep humans in captivity.

Or it cannot be said to have been replaced, because AI currently takes the initiative in the world.

This movie directly points out this phenomenon and uses cinematic methods to present unfounded speculation to the public.

Is this really broadcastable?

Edward said nothing, just smiled and raised his wrist.

A ding-dong sound.

Dwight saw the message coming through.

[The temporary project team {￥#a bunch of random codes#￥} invites you to join. 】

Following the invitation information are the project team assets and team resume.

There is nothing much on the group's resume, just the information that it was just established.

However, in the project team assets column, there is a pre-approved qualification for the preliminary review of the film project.

Moreover, it is clearly marked in the brackets that it is connected to the virtual world, which is equivalent to the highest-qualified shooting resources, which means that the management AI is very optimistic about the entrepreneurship of this project.

Seeing this, Dwight's eyes widened.

"Since it has been approved."

"Wow, in that case, doesn't that mean we can just perfect the script and start filming."

"It's completely predictable. As the first project established this year, and also connected to AI, it's a natural publicity."

Dwight stood up, looking ready to sacrifice himself, and said righteously, "Brother, why don't we just have a relationship? Otherwise, I won't feel at ease."

call out.

A cup flew directly over.

"Go away, I'm not interested in you."

Dwight dodged it deftly and said with a smile, "Brother, I was just kidding. Don't worry, I'll go back and gather the brothers right away, and it will be done in two days at the latest."

Edward thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't the time too tight? I need good quality."

Dwight waved his hand. "Brother, you underestimate me. Such a detailed plot outline is basically like making the entire skeleton. We only need to fill it in. One day is enough for fleshing it out. The reason we said two days is to allow for detailed details and to leave room for revisions."

"If everything goes well, I can give you the first version of the script tonight."

Edward reminded: "Quality is still the most important thing."

"No problem, don't worry."

Dwight hurried off.

Edward, on his part, began to think about the next step in filming the movie.

In the virtual world, although virtual actors can perform directly, it will lack realism, and once the proportion of people used is too small, it is likely to trigger protests from the Human Actors Association.

Take the long-term view.

It is better for the actors to play the roles through real people.

The experience infusion may have an impact on the spirit and personality of professionals, and the cost-effectiveness is extremely low, and they have to pay a large sum of hiring fees.

But wouldn’t it be perfect if the roles assigned to them were students from this class?

Although the experience of script infusion in the virtual world is a bit useless for senior students, it is just right for freshmen.

These valuable experiences are exactly what freshmen need.

Not only do you not have to spend money on recruitment rent, you can even let them pay credits to join, and these credits can be invested back into the movie to improve the movie itself.

After all, you can never have too much investment.
