Chapter 112: Non-Human Characters, And The Baby
....
It had been over a week since the final draft of [The Hangover] was completed - including the storyboarding.
He had also given a full narration to three of his most trusted people.
The entire scripting process had taken Regal three weeks.
A full week longer than either of his last two projects.
Not because the script was especially complex - but because this time, Regal hadn't completely isolated himself.
He had his hands in a dozen different things: managing timelines, outlining long-term strategies, approving system purchases, even glancing at web novels and comic adaptations, stats in between writing sessions.
Still, the final script came in at just 120 pages.
That number startled him at first. Regal was used to layering in detail - every shot, every beat, every reaction meticulously described.
But somewhere during the drafting process, he realized something:
Comedy is deceptively hard.
Harder than he remembered. Harder than [Following] or [Death Note], with all their noir shadows and moral dread.
