Chapter 230: You Come and Shoot
At this moment, more than a dozen people gathered in Zhou Mu's apartment.
There are screenwriters from the company, and there are also interns from Yu Nian Studio, who are also waiting for Cui Ji in the process of understanding the main content of this script. Not to mention anything else, the concept of multi-line narrative alone made them eager to try.
As a screenwriter, or as an aspiring intern in this industry.
Nature is very aware of the difficulties of multi-line storytelling. It's not that you can't write it. It's about making people understand, clear, and understand the connotation after writing.
When the ending is revealed, it is not to make people feel confused, but to make people suddenly realize, wow, exclaim, admiration, and breathtaking......
Otherwise, it would be a failure.
It's difficult.
But these people, no one wants to quit.
It's not difficult, how to show your ability?
Cui Ji was no exception, he arrived in a hurry, and without even taking a sip of tea, he picked up the script and read it. At first, it was fast, then it slowed down.
Ten minutes later, he put down the script, squinted his eyes and smiled, "Lao Zhou, it's good, where you fall, you can get up." ”
These people are really......
Why do you think that he is narrow-minded?
Where did the illusion come from?
Zhou Mu shook his head and diverted the topic, "What do you think of this script?"
"It depends on how you position it. ”
Cui Ji is very professional, "The plot line is very mature, but what type of film it will be made, there must be different feedback in the market." ”
"Of course it's a comedy. Zhou Mu said without hesitation.
With three crazy words, if it weren't for a funny film, it would definitely have no soul.
"Huh?"
"Comedy?"
"No......"
The group was stunned and their eyes widened.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Mu looked around, "Isn't comedy good?"
"Not ......"
Cui Ji was also stunned, "I thought you were going to interpret the theme of perfume in a different way, and you wanted to make an absurd murder film." ”
"It's absurd, yes, there are homicides, but that's not the point. ”
Zhou Mu emphasized, "The point is to be funny, very funny, I want everyone to go in with a blank face and laugh out loud." ”
"Ugh!"
The others looked at each other in surprise.
It's mainly a script, only a detailed framework, no lines. So these people watched it and didn't think it was a funny movie.
Zhou Mu simply got up, stood next to the small blackboard, and picked up the chalk to sketch.
"Listen, the general plot of this movie is...... A poorly run perfume workshop, declining and on the verge of closure, the building developer intends to buy the land ......"
Unexpectedly, in the process of renovating the warehouse, I found a bottle of very rare perfume that had been stored for hundreds of years. ”
Zhou Mu waved his hand and said: "Don't ask me what kind of perfume this is, why does it not deteriorate after being stored for a hundred years, and it will become rare...... Anyway, you make up a reason......"
"Anyway, the bottle of perfume was very valuable, and the owner decided to hold a perfume exhibition, and then auctioned off the rare perfume to bring the workshop back to life. ”
"It's one of those lines. ”
Zhou Muwei said: "The second line is that in order to get the land of the workshop, the building developer sent international thieves to steal the perfume and destroy the good deeds of the owner. ”
"The third line is that there are three thieves who cheat money, who inadvertently broke the track of the international thief, and knowing the other party's intentions, they are also determined to get involved......"
"There is also a fourth line, which is the head of the security section, and the entanglement with these people. ”
All in all, the whole story is a precaution and breakthrough around this bottle of perfume, which is full of jokes. ”
Zhou Mu elaborated slowly.
The so-called crazy perfume is, to put it bluntly, crazy stones.
However, he is ready to change the magic change, anyway, in the movie, the jade is just a prop, and now it has been changed to a perfume, and there is no difference in essence.
Don't talk about perfume, even if you change it to a Coke bottle, as long as you can justify yourself, you can also shoot as a god and crazy.
So, it doesn't matter what the props are.
The key is the core of the story.
Simply speaking, it may be boring. But when Zhou Mu was making a comparison, he also relied on his vague impression and casually said a few classic lines.
It's just that when he spoke, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Because I have a sense of picture in my head.
However, the people next to them still felt puzzled and had few responses.
But Yu Nian, thoughtfully, "This is not a simple comedy, it has a bit of black humor." A few little people, trying to change the status quo, greedy, worried, anxious, but in the face of reality, in the end, it became a joke. ”
"Yes. ”
Zhou Mu nodded hurriedly, "That's the taste." ”
No wonder Yu Nian is a director.
This head melon seeds, what a bright light.
Unlike the others, Elm, who is dead and dumbfounded, he can't understand.
Zhou Mu resolutely refused to admit that he was stupid.
"Sure enough......"
Yu Nian took out a cigarette in his pocket. Someone next to him picked up a lighter and wanted to light it for him.
He refused, playing with the cigarette with his fingertips, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Zhou Mu, this movie, you can shoot it." ”
"Huh?"
Zhou Mu was stunned.
Yu Nian smiled, "Just like last time, you will be the director, and I will be the producer." ”
“......”
Zhou Mu hesitated.
Last time it was an emergency, this time it's ......
He asked, "Didn't you say that you want to make a movie, why don't you come yourself?" Or are you not optimistic about this script?"
"You didn't find out ...... yourself"
Yu Nian chuckled: "When you want to talk about this story, the eyebrows are flying, the smile on your face is constant, and the look of joy is beyond words. ”
"I understand this mentality very well, and I understand it very well. ”
Yu Nian said sincerely: "When I am filming my favorite movie, there is a high probability that I will show such an expression. ”
"So...... This movie, you make it. ”
Yu Nian smiled: "Otherwise, I'm worried that you will blame me in the future." ”
"But ......"
Zhou Mu was entangled, "I'm afraid I won't be able to control the rhythm." ”
"Isn't it me?"
Yu Nian said angrily: "You think I eat dry rice? Didn't I say, your script is really ...... Save. ”
He reluctantly found a good word, his eyes were full of contempt, "There is no big scene, the most technical is actually the magic car to grab the bag......"
"I can't make a movie like this. Yu Nian waved his hand and said: "I personally still like the shots that explode, explode, and shock." ”
"Understood. ”
Zhou Mu smiled and nodded slowly, "This movie ...... I'll shoot it!"
"That's right!"
Yu Nian threw away the cigarette and shouted, "Then what are you waiting for, get it up!"
......
For the next period of time, a group of people turned Zhou Mu's apartment into a studio. Various tea leaves, coffee cups, energy drink bottles, as well as instant noodles and take-out boxes, piled up in the corners.
Even if the cleaner cleans every day, it quickly accumulates a pile.
The living room, the room, the smoke.
Headed by Cui Ji, plus several screenwriters of the company as the backbone, plus a group of interns, the ...... was formed A team of stragglers.
In the first few days, everyone did not have any tacit understanding, and the efficiency was very low.
Often for a little thing...... Quarrel is not noisy, it is argument. Everyone has their own ideas, and when their own ideas come into conflict with other people.
At this time, is it a compromise or a fight for reason?
Almost everyone, chose the latter.
Needless to say, a group of interns were young and did not accept the beating of society, so they naturally maintained a positive vitality and were more likely to stick to their own opinions.
And several screenwriters of the company naturally know the hardships of society, so they agreed to Yang Hong's employment and entered Qinghong Culture to work, and it is precisely for this reason that they want to show their value and prove their ability, so they do not back down easily.
Not to mention Choiji.
won the Huading Award, the title of best screenwriter.
In the industry, many people know that there is such a number one person as him. Recently, entertainment companies of all sizes often ask him to write scripts.
In this case, he will inevitably have a little arrogance in his heart. Maybe he subconsciously thinks that everyone here is garbage, why doesn't he listen to me?
But these contradictions were all suppressed by Zhou Mu.
Everyone was shocked to find that many dialogues and lines seemed to be hidden in Zhou Mu's heart, but they were temporarily forgotten. Now that I have their reference, I immediately recall it, and then on the basis of them, I directly start to revise it.
In fact, the role of a group of people is to make all kinds of bridges, jokes, and stalks conform to the social customs and habits of this time and space, and get close to the localized life of the public.
A week later.
Qinghong Cultural Office.
Yang Hong flipped through the script, from the beginning to the end, her eyes showed a strange light.
Zhou Mu knew that the other party must have doubted his intentions. God is pitiful, is he such a stingy person in the minds of others?
is so glorious, others scold him, he will never take it to heart.
Generally speak with facts.
Fortunately, Yang Hong did not mention this, but asked, "How do you plan to operate this project?"
"I'm the director, Yu Nian is the producer, and Cui Ji ...... The three of us can invest on our own, but we need the company's distribution channels. ”
Zhou Mu said calmly: "So the company can invest in ......"
"You're smart. ”
Yang Hong snorted lightly, didn't rush to make a statement, and continued to ask: "What about the actors, what do you consider?"
She read the script and had a general impression. Anyway, there are a bunch of characters, and few of them are in line with Zhou Mu's own character image, let alone Xu Lime and Ye Zijin.
"Actor. ”
Zhou Mu coughed dryly, his eyes flickered, "We have already had a candidate, now it's up to you to see if you support us to make this movie, Sister Hong?"
"I don't support it, can you not shoot?"
Yang Hong's eyes were complicated.
It's finally coming to this? She had been mentally prepared, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.
Zhou Mu smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, if you don't shoot, then I won't shoot." Regardless of this matter, let Yu Nian toss it by himself. ”
“...... Okay, less nonsense. ”
Yang Hong sighed slightly, and gathered her mind, "Just do what you say." ”
