Chapter 2743

Eddie began his work. The only thing that made him feel a bit unhappy was that Schiller insisted on sitting behind him watching him work.

People who have worked in literary and artistic creation should understand that the most annoying thing is when others insist on coming over to take a look while you are working with full concentration, but for the sake of money, Eddie still gritted his teeth and endured it.

To direct a movie, just having these surveillance camera footages isn't enough. First, you have to create a script based on the timeline, then use special effects to restore the scene at that time, and then use the camera to shoot it.

So the first task Eddie did was to watch all the surveillance footage once and write a draft of the script.

Of course, the first surveillance footage was about the Invisible Man, which also included some of Robbins' resume. Eddie thought for a moment, and he began to write:

"Scene: In the school campus"

"Time: After-school time with people coming and going"

"Characters: High school student Robbins and his two good buddies"

"Dialogue content: Robbins picked up a magical cloak last night. He tried it at his home and found that the magical cloak could make him completely invisible, so he invited his two good buddies to his home, wanting to use this cloak to play pranks."

Eddie wrote some dialogue casually, and the image of a rebellious teenager and his two fox friends jumped onto the paper. The following content was the creation of their various pranks, teasing teachers and classmates in school, and taking revenge on people who didn't get along with them.

Because this part wasn't the key, Eddie designed several transitions, shaping Robbins' mischievous image, and also fully displayed the functions of this cloak.

Then the plot turning point came. The girlfriend of one of the fox friends was snatched away by someone else. He wanted to use the cloak to take revenge on his love rival and destroy his party, but Robbins didn't agree.

Here, Eddie emphatically wrote down the description of Robbins' expression. He glared, his expression was distorted, and there was an indescribable desire in his eyes. Obviously, this was foreshadowing buried by the camera.

Neither of them could convince the other, and they broke up unhappily, but that close friend secretly sneaked into Robbins' home and stole the cloak.

Robbins discovered that the cloak was gone, but the emotion that appeared was not the anger of being betrayed by a friend, but a kind of deep panic, and even madness.

And the friend who took the cloak and wanted to cause trouble also encountered trouble. The cloak went out of control at the party, wrapped directly around his love rival, and swallowed him up.

When the angry Robbins came over, only a cloak was left at the scene, but he couldn't care about that much at all. Like a greedy addict, he wrapped the cloak around himself.

He set off, set off to kill the other friend who knew about the cloak. The cloak could only be his.

The successful Robbins became increasingly crazy. He began to let the cloak swallow everyone he didn't like. Almost the police in the entire block were hunting him, but he didn't care at all.

He just wanted to know how to make the cloak stronger.

Just at this time, he got the news that there was more than one cloak. This powerful divine artifact had a twin brother when it was produced, which was stored in the mysterious Mount Ximalaya.

Robbins came to Mount Ximalaya and caused a scene at the Kamar-Taj headquarters. Finally, under the obstruction of countless mages, the cloak revealed its true face. It turned out that this was actually Dormammu's conspiracy.

Robbins successfully repelled the mages and came to the main hall where Kamar-Taj stored treasures. But just as Dormammu's black hand reached for another treasure, the Sorcerer Supreme descended.

The two had a great battle, the Sorcerer Supreme successfully defeated Dormammu, Robbins woke up, learned that he had been controlled by the cloak to do wrong things, and felt panic about all this.

But the Sorcerer Supreme saw the talent for mastering divine artifacts in him. He took off the cloak on his body, held it in his hand, and reached out to Robbins, asking him if he was willing to learn more about the secrets of Kamar-Taj.

After the last stroke fell, Eddie looked at his work quite proudly. Not bad, not bad, a very complete teenage magical adventure story. Although it couldn't be called very novel, it should be very much to the taste of teenagers.

After all, many young people think about picking up a divine artifact on the street and then becoming a superhero. There have been many such movies in recent years, and the viewing feedback from the teenage group has been quite good.

The Sorcerer Supreme also has quite a few fans. After all, people have always yearned for the mystery of magic, and coupled with the Sorcerer Supreme's special effects, it is indeed enough. The person himself also fits the stereotype of a mage in everyone's mind, and at the same time, he is also a doctor with superb skills who saves lives and heals the wounded. The character setting belongs to having all attributes maxed out; it would be strange if there were no fans following him.

Eddie is confident that this movie will be a box office hit. Of course, because it is a commercial popcorn movie in itself, making money is considered completing the mission.

Before he could proudly show the finished script to Schiller, he saw Schiller next to him narrow his eyes and curl his lips, saying: "Why did you only write Robbins' story? What about the rest?"

Eddie was stunned by his question. He said: "What rest?"

"I gave you so much surveillance footage." Schiller pointed to the computer screen and said: "You only filmed the first one-tenth?"

"Yeah, this is the first part." Eddie nodded as a matter of course, but seeing Schiller's dissatisfied eyes, he had a bad premonition. He looked at the screen in shock and said.

"You don't mean you want me to film all these things into one movie???"

Schiller nodded.

He actually nodded! Eddie was shocked. How could he nod?!

Eddie was stunned on the spot for a long time before he remembered that Schiller is not a director and might not have professional knowledge in this area, so he began to earnestly explain to Schiller.

"Movies are called condensed dynamic art precisely because the duration of movies is the shortest among various image art forms. Except for those incomprehensible art films, the duration of most movies should not exceed four hours, and it is best to control it within three hours."

"Especially commercial films, because the time is too short, the story must have a clear main line, distinct logic, and cannot have too many side branches, otherwise there will be no focus, making people feel confused when watching, and it will be difficult to grasp the focus when promoting, making it difficult to sell at the box office."

"The most important thing for popcorn movies is to tell the story clearly." Eddie pointed to his script and said: "I know this story might look a bit childish, but basically every kind of story has its target audience. As long as you can tell the story clearly, you can sell tickets to this part of people, at least not to the point of losing money."

"Don't tell me you want me to film that kind of art film that aims for awards? Then maybe I can add some more of Robbins' psychological activities, or change one of his friends into his girlfriend, and add some side plots like teenage love troubles."

Under Eddie's gaze, Schiller shook his head slowly. He pointed to the computer screen very firmly and said: "I hope you film all the surveillance footage into one movie."

Eddie was dumbfounded.

He still wanted to explain something, but Schiller stopped him directly and said: "I am the investor, listen to me."

Then what else could Eddie do? He had to look down with some resignation. The next part of the videotape told the story of Sandman Baker.

After watching for a while, Eddie couldn't help but pick up his pen again, but this time the writing was a bit heavier, because many of Sandman's experiences were precisely the reflection of the changes of the times.

"Scene: On Brooklyn Street"

"Time: Noon with scorching sun"

"Characters: William Baker, dressed simply, holding a small job advertisement in his hand"

"Character action: William uses the job advertisement newspaper to cover his forehead, squinting his eyes and shuttling through the street with people coming and going. He accidentally bumped into someone, but could only apologize to the other party in a hurry, because he was on his way to apply for a job."

After Eddie turned the page, he began to write the first plot turning point. In short, the job application didn't go smoothly. The current Flying Shuttle Terminal and the Interstellar Train Transport Dispatch Station no longer needed employees like William who didn't know new technologies.

William felt very frustrated, and then encountered an accident on the way home, gaining Sandman's ability. Because he had no job, in order to make a living, and also to help his neighbors who were equally destitute, he chose to go to construction sites to steal things to sell.

But because he had just gained the ability and it was unstable, he happened to bump into an unlucky security guard who came to patrol, beat him into serious injury, and he himself was also wanted and hunted.

The following days of his life became more and more miserable, homeless, hiding and dodging. Because there was really no source of income, he could only commit crimes, and in the process, he met Spider-Man.

Later, because of an accident, his ability completely went out of control, turning into a terrifying sandstorm, sweeping all the way from the East Coast to the West Coast. Finally, it was only after veteran superheroes like Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Captain America joined forces and the Avengers assembled that he was barely stopped.

And after he was arrested, everyone thought that he would definitely sit in prison for life this time, including himself, but at this time Spider-Man came to him, willing to help him find a lawyer. Under the blessing of a good lawyer, the case that was initially defined as a terrorist attack was finally defined as a superpower loss-of-control case, just like the loss of control of mutant abilities, and he himself also obtained the opportunity for bail.

But just at this time, the misfortune of fate caught up with him again. His mental state had problems. When the illness occurred, his consciousness was already completely unclear. He moved into a mental hospital, where he met a very professional psychologist.

Spider-Man also often came to see him. The two sat together in front of the window of the mental hospital ward, watching the flying shuttles whistling past in the sky. And in the conversation between the two about the flying shuttles, William, whose situation had greatly improved, keenly realized that Spider-Man was likely one of the researchers who developed the flying shuttle.

This greatly encouraged him, so during his hospitalization, he began to work hard to learn new electrical engineering knowledge, working from dawn to dusk, tireless. Spider-Man also brought him a lot of relevant materials, helping him obtain new professional skills, and the neighbors he had helped before also came, giving him great comfort.

Finally, William walked out of the mental hospital, and later received the notification that his application for the Star Core Space Station had been approved. Holding his luggage, he boarded the last spaceship heading to the space station to work.

After writing, Eddie flipped forward and made some slight modifications, revealing a more satisfied expression than when he wrote Robbins' story. Sure enough, no director likes to direct commercial films, and subjects with some deep social discussion are more popular.

Eddie handed this script to Schiller, feeling that although this subject didn't explore the impact of the changes of the times too deeply, it was simple and easy to understand, and easy to resonate. As long as the filming technique didn't drag, it was still possible to be both critically acclaimed and commercially successful.

Who knew Schiller shook his head again.
