Ryan Bank: 我认为一个好的电影 premise 必须足够有趣,但这并不意味着它必须是全新的故事。关键在于如何呈现这个 premise,即使故事本身并不新颖,也要让它看起来耳目一新。例如,《Pandorum》这部电影,虽然讲述的是太空旅行者寻找新家园的故事,但它巧妙地融合了外星克隆和失忆的元素,使得整个 premise 更加引人入胜,让我至今难忘。 Manuela Lopez-Restrepo: 我认为一个好的电影 premise 应该能够毫不费力地构建出一个完整的世界,让观众能够迅速沉浸其中。我们需要考虑如何将观众带入故事,如何呈现这个世界的逻辑,以及观众愿意在多大程度上放弃自己的判断,让自己完全沉浸在这个故事中。此外,我认为好的电影 premise 应该足够大胆,不带任何歉意,能够迅速抓住观众的注意力,引发他们的情感共鸣。
