"You wrote it all yesterday?"

Meng Shi held two scripts in his hands, and looked at Yi Qing's eyes full of disbelief.

Although he is not a writer, he also knows how difficult the process of writing a script is, which requires not only rich life experience, but also extremely high literary skills.

Inspiration alone can kill most playwrights.

Even if you have inspiration, it can be a long process to turn it into a mature script.

The first draft, the sub-draft, and then repeated revisions, even after the final draft, may not necessarily be filmed according to this version, and it still needs to be constantly scrutinized and verified.

There are writers in Beijing Film Studio, and there are many playwrights who have a good relationship, Meng Shi has to hold meetings with these writers almost every month, and a lot of ideas can be put forward at the meeting, and some of them sound reliable, but there is no script to hand in.

Yesterday, he said to Yi Qing that he didn't have much expectations for Yi Qing to change the camera with the script, but he just thought about multiple roads, but he never expected that Yi Qing would not only come with the script today, but also bring two at once.

But it's only been one day!

Write two scripts in one day, who can believe it if you don't encounter it in person.

The last time Yi Qing and Chen Xiaoer came over together, Chen Xiaoer said that Yi Qing would write a script in one night, and Meng Shi didn't really believe it, but now he can't believe it.

Looking at the manuscript paper and the handwriting on it, you can see that it is newly written.

How can you be so bullish!

"Director Meng, isn't the script in your hands?"

Meng Shi was stunned for a moment, and smiled wryly: "Xiao Yi, you sit down first, I'll take a look." ”

The script is obtained, but what is the quality, it still needs to be carefully studied, what if Yi Qing casually makes a script in order to borrow the camera smoothly.

You'll have to look closely!

What Meng Shi is thinking, Yi Qing is naturally clear, but it is natural for people to inspect the goods.

Meng Shi picked up "Children of the Eight Banners" first, just looking at the name, he was very interested.

A lot of period dramas in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China have also been filmed before, such as "Teahouse", which is adapted from Mr. Lao She's original work, and "Divine Whip", which are all good works.

Meng Shi was very curious about what kind of story Yi Qing, a hairy boy, could write.

Just watched the opening, Meng Shi was attracted, and like the previous "Two Sons Open a Shop", he simply explained the main characters in the play.

The difference is that "Two Sons Open a Shop" is a comedy, and the characters are relatively somewhat face-painted, just a simple description, while "Children of the Eight Flags" is more profound, not only explaining the background of the characters, but also portraying the characters through some action descriptions and a few dialogues.

It's kind of interesting.

Meng Shi subconsciously sat up straight, he himself is a person from the old capital, and the dialogues in the script are all colloquial, and he feels very cordial when he looks at it, and the taste of the old capital jumps on the paper.

As the plot progresses, the characters become richer and richer, and what surprises Meng Shi is that even if some little characters only appear once, their images are extraordinarily plump.

Especially the ninth master in it, a small supporting role actually passed a scene that made a big fuss in the teahouse, as if he was alive, and even better than the protagonist U Sebao.

Not bad, not bad!

After reading the whole script in one go, Meng Shi had a feeling that he was still unfinished.

The plot of the story is flat and straightforward, not too complicated, but it is still engaging enough, and it is very good to be able to reach this level.

What really surprised Meng Shi was that there was a lot of folklore and history in this script, which could not be a young man who had not yet reached the age of 20 with a knowledge reserve.

"Xiao Yi!" Meng Shi raised his head to look at Yi Qing, hesitated for a moment before saying, "This script was really completed by you independently?"

Yi Qing had long expected Meng Shi to ask this question, but he didn't care, a script includes so many traditional things, and those who really understand these are afraid that they are all old, and his age will inevitably make people doubtful: "Director Meng, unless you have seen this script elsewhere, otherwise, it will naturally be written by me." ”

(The children of the Eight Flags and Chun Tao are both based on the adaptation, which is automatically ignored here)

Meng Shi was not lightly reprimanded by Yi Qing, and he was not angry, I have to say that the current leader is close to the people, in the future, Yi Qing dares to say this, don't want to mix in this industry in this life.

"This book is good.,I want it.,As for the manuscript fee~~~~"

"I don't want the manuscript fee, as long as you can fulfill what you promised yesterday, I will be grateful. ”

Meng Shi was stunned for a moment, and laughed randomly: "Don't worry, I promised a good thing, and I will definitely not regret it." ”

As he spoke, he picked up another script, and when he saw the word "spring peach" on the cover, he thought it was a story with a rural theme.

In the past two years, movies with rural themes have become more popular, and Beijing Film Studio also made two movies with rural themes last year, but Meng Shi personally, he doesn't like this kind of movie with a happy ending.

But as soon as he read the beginning, Meng Shi knew that he was wrong, and at the beginning of the story, "in exchange for lamps-" The melodious voice sounded in the narrow alleys of old Beijing, Chun Tao wore old clothes, wore a broken straw hat, and carried a big basket on his back, collecting the broken paper from the poor people's families and exchanging them for "taking lamps", that is, matches for lighting fires.

In the capital in the 30s, how miserable it must have been for a woman who relied on doing this kind of small business in exchange for a meager income.

The clothes do not cover the body, the food is not hungry, there is no tile to cover the head, and the afternoon stands inch by inch.

Meng Shi naturally thought of the situation that Chun Tao should have.

But looking down further, Meng Shi found that he was wrong again.

Chun Tao, who has been busy all day, actually has a home to go back to, she not only has a home, but even a man who loves her.

When she returned home, she changed into her shabby clothes, washed her sweat and dust, and smiled brightly at her man.

Meng Shi could imagine that picture, and the smile of the spring peach must be as beautiful as the peach blossom in the spring.

A young couple at the bottom of the society, in that era, the hard journey of surviving?

Meng Shi didn't rush to make up his mind immediately this time, and then looked down.

Sure enough, Meng Shi soon discovered that the story was not as simple as he thought.

Chun Tao and Xiang Gao are not a couple, but concubines, no name and no points, at any time, this kind of thing is immoral.

Meng Shi looked at it, and was actually anxious about the two characters in the play, hoping that they could go through a procedure as soon as possible and be together from now on.

Meng Shi hoped that someone would stand up and remind them at this time.

In the old capital in the thirties, the poor people didn't care much about other people's affairs, but it was not a decent thing to live in the end.

"Two mouths are not two, concubines are not concubines!"

The well-wishers saw that this man and woman were good, they had been doing well for three years, and the two of them were loving and loving very well, so they persuaded them to register for a formal husband and wife.

But Chun Tao was reluctant, and even when the man named Xiang Gao called her "daughter-in-law", she would be annoyed.

Why refuse?

Doesn't she love to be high?

The answer came immediately.

Chun Tao went out as usual that day, and suddenly heard someone calling her on the street, and she was also stunned when she saw the person clearly.

The man who lost his legs in front of him turned out to be her husband Li Mao, who had changed the dragon and phoenix stickers, and had no husband and wife, but had the name of husband and wife.

When the two were separated by bandits at the wedding, they had been separated for many years, and Chun Tao never expected that the two would meet under such circumstances.

Seeing this, Meng Shi was a little nervous, he was surprised to find that he actually hoped that Chun Tao would not recognize Li Mao, her life was already difficult, the only thing to be thankful for was that there was a man who loved her by her side, if Chun Tao and Li Mao recognized each other, what should she do with Xiang Gao?

What worried Meng Shi still happened, and the kind-hearted Chun Tao didn't even think about it, picked up Li Mao on her back, and returned to her and Xiang Gao's house.

A woman and two men, how will this story play out in the future?

Meng Shi couldn't wait to turn the page and continue to look down.

Liu Xianggao went home, his two small businesses that day made a lot of money, he said happily Let's go to Shichahai, Chun Tao stopped his interest, she led him straight to the house, and introduced the two most important men in her life.

"This is my original man. ”

"This is my buddy now. ”

Chun Tao handled everything very well, and both men were willing to put themselves in such an embarrassing situation.

Gradually, they formed a new order of life, in which each found his new place.

Life is so difficult, the three of them take care of each other, and everything is fine, except for the embarrassment on the kang when sleeping at night.

Two men, a woman, half a dilapidated house, a clay kang - what a conjecturing picture!

Facing two men, here is the married couple of the year, and there is the dewy couple of several years, she said frankly: "I can't just because you are crippled and don't want you, but I am also reluctant to leave him." ”

You can say that again!

Meng Shi couldn't help but applaud for Chun Tao!

Even today, which woman is not indecisive and swaying in the face of emotional choices, who dares to speak her mind so frankly?

Chun Tao has no scruples, she doesn't know the gossip of the neighbors, but in the face of gossip, she is still discouraged, she let go of all her stubbornness, sat cross-legged on the clay kang and cried sadly, she cried loudly for the hardships of life and the difficulties of the three people.

When she wiped away her tears, Liu Xianggao was already gone, and there was only endless night in the courtyard.

She searched every neighborhood, every restaurant, and even every casino in a hurry, she inquired about people she knew, and also inquired about people she didn't know, but the capital was too big, and she frantically searched the streets and alleys, but there was still no news of him.

It was only then that she realized that she really couldn't do without this man.

Liu Xianggao really likes Chun Tao, and he doesn't want her to be so embarrassed, so he makes what he thinks is the right decision, and he thinks he is helping her make a choice.

However, when he woke up on the bench on the side of the street, when his stubble grew, when he heard Chun Tao's long voice, "In exchange for the lamp-", he couldn't help but follow her until her figure disappeared into the endless alley.

And another man, Li Mao, who committed suicide and was rescued, began to face life calmly, silently doing what he could, and he was also helping Chun Tao, silently, in the way he thought was right.

When the patrol officer wanted to change the head of the household and put up a new house number, he calmly said that the head of the household was still surnamed Liu, and he went out of the house and would come back after a while.

Meng Shi couldn't help but admire, these were two real men.

The two men are gone, Chun Tao is alone in a daze in the dark night, the kang that has been entangled by two people and embarrassed by three people is empty.

The most precious thing, she had gained and lost.

But this time, Chun Tao didn't cry.

The days will go on like this, and when the day dawns, Chun Tao put on a straw hat, takes a hook, carries a basket, and sets off again.

She was stunned the moment she went out, two men were walking back from both ends of the alley, was it Li Mao who brought Liu Xianggao back?

She looked at Li Mao, her eyes were relieved and grateful, and then, she looked at Liu Xianggao, after this time, she knew her mind very well, she would never let him go again.

She looked at Liu Xianggao with stupid eyes, mixed feelings, and cried with joy.

On such a morning, she cried in the cold alley, like a peach blossom swaying on a branch.

There are very few purely textual descriptions, only the ending paragraph, Meng Shi looked at it, imagining what a beautiful picture this text should describe.

"Are these two really back?"

Meng Shi looked at Yi Qing, but it was a pity that Yi Qing didn't answer, thinking about it carefully, such an ending was also quite good, leaving enough room for imagination.

Suddenly, his eyes when he looked at Yi Qing changed, and he said secretly: "How can this person be so good!"
