After some thought, Tan Yue decided to start with the movie plot outline.
What needs to be done now is to write the movie script first. The localization of the script and casting can be done slowly later.
One bite won't make you fat, and there's still a lot of work to be done before filming begins.
The story line of "The Truman Show" is relatively simple. Tan Yue took out a new notebook from the drawer and wrote an outline on it.
Truman, the protagonist of the movie, was selected by the director when he was born. Thirty years of his life were recorded and broadcast live around the world as a popular soap opera "The Truman Show."
Everything around him is false, his relatives and friends are all actors, but he himself knows nothing about it.
After noticing the anomaly, Truman finally walked out of this virtual world at all costs.
Scenes from the movie "The Truman Show" appeared in Tan Yue's mind, and he was also thinking about whether the movie would be popular in the world's film market.
Looking at the written plot outline, Tan Yue felt that the story was getting more and more interesting.
Just like the director's last words in the movie, 'The outside world is more unreal than my fictional world, just as full of lies, and just as hypocritical. But in my world, you don’t have to be afraid. '
In Tan Yue's previous life, he remembered that when a friend watched this movie for the first time, he felt that Truman was very pitiful and that everything around him, whether it was people or the world, was false.
However, as I get older and look back at the tremendous pressure in the real world, I sometimes feel that Truman lives in a happy world.
"The Truman Show" is an interesting and meaningful movie.
As your experience increases, you will have a different perspective when you look back at this movie.
"This is a promising movie."
A smile appeared on Tan Yue's face.
Science fiction movies are so popular in the domestic and foreign film markets. In addition to bringing shocking visual impact to the audience, imagination is also an important reason why they are popular among the public.
The director presents some wild ideas in front of the audience in the form of pictures, which is a major selling point in the film market.
"The Truman Show" is a movie with great imagination. After many years, people who see the movie for the first time are still amazed, and it makes the audience feel extremely real.
Such a movie is quite suitable as Tan Yue's first step into the global film market.
Tan Yue, who was still worried about how to select talents before, now feels enlightened.
Suddenly, the ringing of the mobile phone on the table interrupted his thoughts. The person calling was Xu Nuo.
"Want to play billiards?"
Xu Nuo's hands have been itching recently and he has become addicted to football again. He is a typical example of being both good and fun-loving.
"I won't go, I still have things to do."
Without even a second of thinking time, Tan Yue refused directly. When you have an idea for a new movie, you must first write the script.
Xu Nuo was slightly disappointed: "Okay then, you go about your business first."
Tan Yue reminded with a smile: "I haven't been free during this period of time. You can go to the gym and play by yourself. There are people playing all the time. It just so happens that you can also practice your skills during this time. Otherwise, it will be even harder to beat me in the future." .”
"Do I still need to practice my football skills? I won't tell you anymore, just get busy first."
Xu Nuo hung up the phone. He knew that Tan Yue must have been busy, otherwise he wouldn't have refused so neatly. When he wanted to continue working, he felt that what Tan Yue said made sense, so he got up and went to the gym.
…
...
The next day, early in the morning.
After Tan Yue came to the office, he made himself a cup of strong tea and placed it next to the computer. A sip of strong tea can refresh your mind and help you complete the next work better.
Then I created a folder named 'The Truman Show' on my computer, and kept my notebook at hand.
The notebook will record some more important things, which are all things that need to be paid attention to when preparing for the work.
Yesterday, he had been recalling the plot of the movie, and today he will officially start writing the script.
After opening the folder, create a new document and name it 'Movie Synopsis'.
The outline in the notebook is the general content of the entire movie, but what I want to write now is the relatively detailed content.
Dividing the entire movie into segments will help you complete the script faster.
The sound of typing on the keyboard came from the quiet office.
Thirty years ago, Omnicon Television Productions adopted a baby and raised him to great success as the star of The Truman Show, the world's most popular docu-drama soap opera.
However, there is only one person who is completely unaware of all this, and he is the only protagonist of the play-Truman.
Truman has been living in a small town called Taoyuan Island since he was a child. He is an agent for an insurance company in this small town.
Truman seemed to be living exactly the same life as ordinary people, but he didn't know that thousands of cameras were looking at him every second in his life, and that the whole world was watching him every moment. I didn’t know that everyone around me, including my wife and friends, were actors in “The Truman Show.”
Although he felt that everyone seemed to pay attention to him, and everything he did from childhood to adulthood had some unexpected and dramatic effects, these did not make this simple-minded young man too concerned.
But due to a moment of negligence, the production team of the show actually allowed the "father" who "died" because of Truman when he was a child to reappear...
I don't know how much time passed, but the sound of typing on the keyboard suddenly stopped. Tan Yue was already wearing a massager around his neck, and there was not much tea left in the cup.
After drinking the last bit of water in the cup, Tan Yue stood up from the chair, shaking his neck, and came to the window.
After opening the window, a breeze blew through, and Tan Yue closed his eyes slightly to rest.
Recalling the plot in a movie is a very tiring task and requires a high degree of mental concentration to recall as many details as possible.
After a while.
Tan Yue stretched his arms and felt that his energy had recovered a lot. He took the cup to the water dispenser and took another cup of hot water. The smell of tea immediately hit his face.
Chen Ziyu specially asked a friend to buy tea from other places. The taste was just right for Tan Yue. There were two bottles in the cabinet.
Tan Yue sat back in front of the computer and typed on the keyboard again.
"The Truman Show" is a movie that he likes very much, and Tan Yue also has his own understanding of this movie.
"The Truman Show" has fascinated many viewers because of its bizarre plot.
As time goes by, this movie that just missed the Oscars has been talked about by more and more movie fans.
It shows people how an ordinary little person was made into a famous TV star without his knowledge, but was completely deprived of freedom, privacy and even dignity. Reflecting human hopes and anxieties, it also attracts attention for touching on the most sensitive social issues.
Tan Yue can't remember how many times he has watched this movie.
…
…
It's lunch time in a blink of an eye.
Tan Yue did not leave the office and called Chen Ye over through the internal phone.
"Xiao Ye, help me bring some food back from the cafeteria after dinner."
Tan Yue's hands were still on the keyboard, typing the script.
Chen Ye left the office in response.
Now is the time when his thoughts are clear, and Tan Yue plans to write out the synopsis of the story in one go.
In addition, Chen Ziyu was invited to attend an event today and was not in the company.
Tan Yue didn't want to go to the restaurant to eat anymore.
"The synopsis is finally ready."
Tan Yue breathed a long sigh of relief and finally completed the first step of the script in one morning. I read it again from beginning to end and clicked save after confirming that there were no mistakes. I picked up the cup and took a sip of water to rest for a while.
Gently rubbing his slightly dry eyes, he was thinking about his next work plan.
Tan Yue created a new document "Character List" in the "Truman Show" folder and prepared to start writing character biographies.
The first character is naturally the protagonist Truman in the movie.
The sound of typing on the keyboard came again in the office.
After writing the introduction to Truman, Tan Yue began to analyze Truman's character from all aspects, so that the actors could better understand the character.
Truman is a person who always lives in his own fantasy world. He likes to talk to himself and has noted some scenes from the movie at the back.
Tan Yue used this to analyze many characters in detail, such as: very polite, enthusiastic, timid, cowardly...
Soon I wrote the seventh article. Truman has great curiosity and exploration.

desire. (Note: He explores the truth step by step, and can do strange actions when he runs to the building opposite.)
Tan Yue temporarily put aside his Truman biographies and began writing about the director of the soap opera "The Truman Show" in the movie.
When writing the plot later, the character's personality can be continued to be added.
As the producer of the soap opera "The Truman Show," he directed the entire Truman Show and is a worldly and sophisticated crew leader who makes people shudder. Everything is designed to be almost perfect, and Truman is controlled in a surreal world.
People who can do this kind of thing are certainly perseverant, decisive, meticulous, and even cruel in character. Thirty years of trying to create a soap opera with extremely high ratings has allowed a person to live completely in an illusory world.
Tan Yue picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, rested for a moment, and continued to write——
Too cold-blooded, he trapped Truman in a false world since he was a child; too profitable, selling Trumen's privacy 24 hours a day for profit; inhumane, he would stop Truman from leaving at the expense of Truman's life.
But he also has a tender side.
In thirty years, he had already regarded Truman as his own child.
When Truman was about to leave this world, he expressed his inner thoughts, knowing the hypocrisy of the outside world and wanting him to stay.
At this time, Chen Ye knocked on the door gently and came in with food.
"Thank you, Xiaoye!"
After Chen Ye went out, Tan Yue temporarily put down his work and started eating.
...
...
A week later came in the blink of an eye.
Tan Yue closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, feeling relieved.
For a week, Tan Yue spent most of his time writing scripts every day, and sometimes he would write until midnight when he got home at night. Once he has a job, he never procrastinates and completes it in the shortest possible time. Only after the script is completed can he move on to the next job.
With continuous efforts, the script of "The Truman Show" is finally about to be completed.
Tan Yue picked up the cup to drink water and found that it was empty. Time always flies when you are immersed in something.
He poured the tasteless tea leaves into the trash can, put the new tea leaves in, took a cup of hot water, and placed it on his desk.
"In another day or two, the script can be handed over to the film department for polishing."
Tan Yue paced back and forth in the office, firstly to facilitate his thinking, but also because his waist hurt a little from sitting and he needed to move.
The mobile phone placed on the table suddenly rang. Tan Yue picked up the mobile phone and looked at the incoming call notification, muttering: "What's wrong with this fat guy? Does he want to play ball?"
After answering the phone, it was exactly what he thought.
"Old Tan, if you have time today, come with me downstairs to play ball."
There was a hint of confidence in the promise's voice that had not been seen in a long time.
Over the past week, Xu Nuo often came down to play against other people in the company, and his skills improved a lot. When I win more and lose less, I feel like I can do it again. Then he couldn't wait to compete with Tan Yue again.
Tan Yue looked at the computer, thought for a moment, and said, "Wait for me in the gym downstairs."
"Haha, I was just waiting for your words."
Xu Nuo hung up the phone directly, ran out of the office in a hurry, arranged a few words for his secretary, and then went straight to the gym downstairs.
Tan Yue wanted to say a few more words, but when he heard that the call had been hung up, he shook his head helplessly.
Tan Yue first saved the script file he had written, locked the computer screen, picked up the cup of water he had just filled, and took the elevator to the gym on the first floor.
"Hello, Mr. Tan!"
Employees who were working out greeted each other one after another.
Tan Yue also responded one by one. When he approached the pool table, he saw Xu Nuo talking to several people.
"Let me tell you, when I play with Mr. Tan, I always give way to him. I taught him how to play billiards. How could he beat me?"
"Look at your expressions? You don't believe it, right? Mr. Tan will be here soon. Today I will show you how I beat him."
Several of the surrounding audience members laughed, not because they didn't believe it, but because they had heard this sentence too many times.
"Fat man, you can't win with your words alone."
"Then let's see the real chapter."
Xu Nuo had already set up billiards and was waiting for Tan Yue's arrival.
Tan Yue put down his cup and asked, "Fat man, I haven't played with you for two weeks, so my confidence is a bit inflated."
Xu Nuo pretended to be a master: "Of course, you haven't played for two weeks, but I have been improving."
"Who will kick off first?" Tan Yue didn't want to hear Xu Nuo's bragging.
"I come."
The contest between the two began again.
More than an hour later.
Tan Yue smiled and said, "How about it, do you admit defeat or not?"
The two still played five games today, and Tan Yue won three games.
Xu Nuo touched his frown and really couldn't figure out why he lost again.
Finally, I couldn't help but mutter: "Is Lao Tan really a talented player?"
