Chapter 445: The Problem of the Detailed Outline

When Yan Fei called Xi Muhan, Xi Muhan had just woken up and hadn't had time to wash his face.

This time, although Shen Xin provided the background and settings for the detailed outline, she must first understand the meaning of these settings. After all, she did not create it herself. Xin discusses and revises. For an 11-episode TV series, the revised outline has 70,000 words, plus the plot and ambush. Half a month is barely enough.

When receiving Yan Fei's call, Xi Muhan felt uneasy.

"Is it news from District 11?"

"Um."

"How is it?" Xi Muhan was nervous, and there was a trace of expectation in his heart.

Yan Fei took a deep breath, "Sorry, District 11...Supervisor Shuang did not agree."

"Ah? Why?" Xi Muhan asked puzzled.

"Wait a minute, I'll translate the email he wrote and send it to your mailbox."

"oh……"

Xi Muhan was a little distracted. When he came back to his senses, he was about to thank Yan Fei, but found that the other party had hung up the phone, so he came to the workbench powerlessly.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xin asked nicely.

"did not pass."

Xi Muhan looked frustrated, scratched his head, and didn't have time to tidy up his hair, making him even more haggard.

Shen Xin didn't know how to comfort Xi Muhan.

In a drama, the screenwriter has a great role and power, and can even decide the life and death of the characters, but these are only limited to overseas markets, while the screenwriters on Earth have little status.

Logically speaking, there are also many authors on Earth who have written scripts.

But Xi Muhan has no experience in this area, and the partner is from District 11. The language barrier makes it very inconvenient to communicate, and there is no one to give advice. As a result, the progress was not as smooth as expected.

Shen Xin didn't know how to write a script either. Seeing Xi Muhan's sad face, she said, "How about you write it according to the novel, and then let the people in District 11 adapt it?"

"Brother Xin, this time it's Xigang who failed...it has nothing to do with the novel." Xi Muhan pouted, with pitiful eyes, tears were about to flow down.

"..."

This is really a problem.

Shen Xin recalled the fine outline, but didn't find too many problems.

It's nothing more than a series of struggles that started when the emperor of Xingguo was critically ill. Isn't this kind of plot okay? Or is it too corny?

Uh... Let's see what Shoji Uno thinks first, shall we?

Soon, Yan Fei translated Zhuangsi Yuno's suggestion into Chinese and sent it to Xi Muhan. Shen Xin also had the opportunity to know Zhuangsi Yuno's opinion.

"The rhythm is procrastinated, the title is late, and the rhythm and style are inconsistent with "Steel Refining". It does not mean that the story takes place in Xingguo and can be played freely, and the original plot must also reflect the original work.

"First, explain the two characters, and second, introduce alchemy (it seems that alchemy should be reflected in "Steel Refining"). But the detailed outline only reflects the first point, and the second point is not mentioned. It is recommended to add .In addition, the fate of the characters is simple, the growth is limited, and the outline and setting are not thick enough. It is recommended to rewrite.”

"What do you mean?" Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin puzzled.

"Uh..." Shen Xin scratched her head, "I know a little bit. Normally, when an animation is shown, it needs to get into the title quickly, that is to say, to attract the readers at the front. The first few episodes don't need too much foreshadowing. Let’s introduce the key characters first. This step is mainly about two characters and alchemy, so these two should come out in advance...at least, in the first three episodes. I think so.”

"Then... how to explain the simple fate of the character, and the lack of thickness in the setting... The fate of the character is already very tortuous, and Zhang Mei almost died."

"I'm afraid the problem lies in the word 'almost'."

"Huh? You mean Zhang Mei... Didn't she appear in "Smelting Steel"?"

"It can make other people die... For example, a character who usually has a good relationship with her, the supporting role is to serve the plot."

"Huh?"

"Have you heard of the 'Chapter Three Effect'?" Shen Xin asked.

"have no idea."

"To put it simply, it is a cartoon that suddenly changes its style in the third episode. For example, the previous plot is lighter, but in the third episode, the plot changes suddenly, and someone dies suddenly."

The creator of the "Episode 3 Effect" was Madoka Magica, and Mami Mami passed away suddenly in the third episode, which surprised many readers.

It's not that rumors have to do this, but there are still twists in the story.

"What about thickness? The history of Xingguo has already been written into the outline."

Shen Xin shook her head, he was not Shuang Si Yuno, how could he guess what he was thinking?

"There is also limited character growth... There are only 11 episodes of the animation, and the main characters... and there are only two, how can we reflect the growth?" Xi Muhan bit his lips lightly, frowning.

Shen Xin didn't know what to do either.

The creative plot this time does not exist in the original work, that is to say, he will work with Xi Muhan to create a plot that is not too different in quality from the original.

Seeing the lost Xi Muhan, Shen Xin also felt nervous for the first time.

Original...the original of "Steel Refining" again...

What kind of script can be written, no one knows.

"It's okay, we all think of a way together, and we will eventually come up with ideas." Shen Xin comforted.

Xi Muhan sat in front of the computer, staring at the screen in a daze, and didn't eat dinner.

Seeing Xi Muhan like this, Shen Xin also lost her appetite to eat.

Now, Xi Muhan has doubts about herself, if he doesn't support her, Xiaohan is likely to be devastated.

"There is no sense of thickness...the main character has not grown...where do we start?"

Shen Xin read the detailed outline written by Xi Muhan again.

There must be a basis for Shoji Uno to say that, what he did was right, it should be "Smelting Steel".

So, where does this thickness and character growth come from?

The enhancement of Edward's strength?

Shen Xin shook her head, even in the end, Edward was not the strongest. However, those who have watched "Forged Steel" have to admit that Edward has matured a lot.

As for the detailed outline, although it is not as detailed as Zhengzheng, the highlights are still involved. The growth of the characters is undoubtedly the highlight. The same is true for the detailed outline of online novels. For example, what event upgrade the protagonist is completing must be mentioned.

So, "Forged Steel", how did Edward grow up?

Shen Xin recalled "Smelting Steel" from beginning to end.

At the same time, Xi Muhan was also thinking about another question.

Whether a work has a sense of weight depends on whether the content reflects a sense of history on the one hand, and whether there is connotation on the other hand.

What is the connotation of "Steel Refining"? Equivalent exchange? Or alchemy?

Xi Muhan scratched his head, got up and turned over the manga of "Smelting Steel".
