Although Liu Zifei's demeanor was calm, her language was very powerful, and the young men and women were all stunned for a while.

Du Caige also sighed in his heart, Xiao Liu and his three views are really compatible.

If you really plan to get married now, you must choose someone to get married and live. And don't consider the wishes of the other party, just look at your own choice.

Then there may be a little hesitation and a little entanglement in the process, but in the end, she will definitely be chosen, not Duan Tianhou.

Of course, Du Caige has no idea of getting married at all now, so this is just a false proposition.

Putting aside this distraction, Du Caige smiled and said, "Then Xiao Liu, do you think you can accept my words?"

Liu Zifei, who is wearing long hair and light makeup, is a little more feminine than before, and it is not too much to call her a "goddess", at least it is much more beautiful than the Douyin goddesses in Du Caige's impression.

She combed her long hair with her fingers and said seriously: "I think Brother Du, your criticisms are very reasonable. But at the moment, my ability is limited, and I am preparing in a hurry. I hate to admit it, but it's really the best I can do right now. From this point of view, I actually have nothing to regret. ”

After a pause, she smiled again: "Of course, if Brother Du is willing to help me remake this short film, I will be pleasantly surprised." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a few people next to her were already crying wolf: "Remake?

"Fei Fei, don't you have a backache when you stand and talk? What a big expense to reshoot! Our budget is almost exhausted!"

Of course, there are also those who support Liu Zifei. Zhu Yuxi, who had been silent before, said: "Since it's for art, let's remake it." ”

Liu Zifei ignored the objections and looked at Du Caige with a smile: "Brother Du, look, everyone wants to reshoot." Then you can say a few words, what should be changed, and how should I change it?"

Du Caige thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The theme you chose is best expressed in delicate emotional dramas, which is a more suitable theme for female directors." However, delicate emotional dramas require countless details and meticulous craftsmanship to set off the atmosphere and mobilize emotions, and at the same time, they also need qualified performances from actors. ”

"And this is another short film, I want to tell the story clearly in a short period of time, and set the atmosphere in place, frankly, I may be able to do it, but with your current skills, it is still difficult to do it, so it is difficult to resonate with people. ”

At the same time, the theme of this short film is difficult to sublimate, and it seems that the pattern is relatively small and not thought-provoking. For a short film, it's taboo to watch it and forget it. ”

Liu Zifei listened intently, occasionally nodding in approval.

Several of her friends had different expressions.

Yu Hanyi kept shaking her head, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she seemed to be very disdainful.

The corners of Zhang Guodong's mouth turned up, and the sneer was very obvious.

Zhu Yuxi was silent, but he could see that he was also listening intently.

Wang Lin opened his mouth several times, as if he wanted to interrupt, but after looking at Liu Zifei, he still didn't make a sound.

After speaking, Du Caige picked up the tea and drank it.

The food in this restaurant is really good, but firstly, it is a little spicy, which he is not very acceptable, and secondly, the spirit is focused on this short film, and he can't taste it attentively. So it's a bit of a pity.

And Liu Zifei thought for a while after digesting Du Caige's words, and said: "Brother Du, listening to your tone, I think there is no hope for this short film." ”

"I didn't say that!"

"But that's what you think in your heart, right?" Liu Zifei bit her lip, "You think there was a problem with this script from the beginning, and you shouldn't choose such a theme." There may be many difficulties in remaking, but I still want to remake, I want to make a masterpiece, and strive to be shortlisted, Brother Du, help me!"

Seeing her soft-spoken begging, Du Caige couldn't say anything about the rejection on his lips, so he had to swallow it back.

After thinking about it, Du Caige said: "Speaking of the theme of 'time', in fact, I have also thought about this aspect before, and there is a script for a small short film. I can give it to you if you want. But first of all, I won't be involved in the shooting, and it's up to you what you can do in the end. ”

Liu Zifei's eyes flashed with surprise: "I should have filmed it myself, Brother Du, you can give me a good script, I'm already very happy." Did you bring the script? Hurry up and show me!"

Hearing Liu Zifei's voice, Yu Hanyi shook her head, and then met Zhu Yuxi's eyes: Have you ever heard her speak in such a voice?

Zhu Yuxi shook his head slightly: Nonsense, of course I haven't heard it.

Yu Hanyi continued to signal with her eyes: The situation is very pessimistic, she is afraid that she is about to fall, and she will not be saved.

Zhu Yuxi retracted his gaze: It's none of my business, I'm playing soy sauce.

Yu Hanyi glared at him, turned his head and continued to look at Liu Zifei.

Seeing that Liu Zifei's pretty face was slightly red, and her eyes were as bright as gems under the light, she sighed slightly - she had checked Lin Ke's information on the Internet, and her impression of Du Caige was not good.

And Liu Zifei, although she seems to be inconspicuous in college, in fact, many people like her, because she is simple, kind, and not pretentious, whether it is a boy or a girl, they all have a good impression of her.

Is such a simple little white flower about to be abducted by that notorious liar in the entertainment industry? What a tragedy......

Du Caige thought for a while and pointed to his head, "The script is here." It doesn't take much effort to write it, so I'll write it to you here. ”

As he spoke, he crackled on his laptop.

Liu Zifei leaned over to look.

Title: "The Depths of a Hundred Flowers".

Act I......

Her friends, Zhang Guodong and Feng Hao, talked in a whisper, seemingly uninterested in all this, and Wang Lin's nostrils turned to the sky, and he didn't seem to be interested in Du Caige's script, but his eyes always glanced at the screen from time to time.

Yu Hanyi and Zhu Yuxi also watched intently as words appeared on the screen.

The beginning of the script is still very smooth. Or ordinary.

But soon, Liu Zifei showed a trace of astonishment, and Yu Hanyi said bluntly: "No wonder I always feel weird, it turns out that this Mr. Feng is really a madman." ”

After a while, he said, "Ah, and this operation, they are so cruel to fool a madman like this." ”

After a while, Wang Lin couldn't help but speak: "The red sandalwood wardrobe, the goldfish bowl, the lamp holder in front of the court, the bell in the bell, the smell comes out." This bell has to appear behind it, and if it doesn't appear, it won't be able to echo. ”

Du Caige's hands kept outputting and converting into words, and he turned his head to look at him with a smile, "You are really a knowledgeable person." ”

Wang Lin smiled a little reservedly, and it could be seen that he was very happy to be praised by Du Caige.

Liu Zifei couldn't help but snicker.

Wang Lin was a little hostile to Du Caige before, and even faintly looked down on him, but after reading half of Du Caige's script, there was such a big change immediately.

It can only be said that although Du Caige's script is mediocre at a glance, it is fragrant when it is tasted carefully, and it does have something outstanding, so that the arrogant Wang Lin was hit by the weakness all of a sudden.

When Du Caige finally typed out the last word, he pushed the laptop to Liu Zifei: "You can take a look at it again." ”

He had never written his own short film script before, so in a hurry, he carried a short film by Chen Wou-Ki, called "Deep in a Hundred Flowers".

He privately thinks that the films Chen Wou-Ki has made, except for the well-known "Farewell My Concubine", is the most charming of this "Deep Flowers".

Douban score of 9.1 is enough to explain some problems.

Although it is short, the length of the film is only ten minutes, and these ten minutes only tell a very small story, but it reflects an era, a romance, and an aesthetic, which makes people have endless memories and lingering aftersounds.

There is no deliberate reasoning in the short film, no concept is promoted, but people who see it will naturally have some thoughts and reverie, and this is the preciousness of a great work - it will never chatter endlessly, and it will not forcibly instill anything in you.

But after reading it, you will definitely be moved and understood.

On Earth, there is a British company called "10 Minutes, Old Age", in order to show the highest artistic standard of contemporary world cinema (not really to make money), invited 15 world-renowned literary film directors to shoot a series of short films (if you want to make money, you will not choose literary film directors).

The theme of these short films fits the company's name: Time Lapse. Then, 10 minutes were given to each director to show off his skills.

The filmmakers have shown their talents, although there are many perfunctory works, some of which are incomprehensible avant-garde experimental works, but there are also great works full of sincerity and torture the soul.

"The Depths of a Hundred Flowers" is a work brought by Chinese director Chen Wou-ki.

Maybe it's because he didn't think about what awards he wanted to win for this work, to compete for the Oscars, and he didn't think about the constraints of factors such as box office, investors, etc., so Chen Wou-Ki filmed very relaxed and showed his talent to the fullest.

The use of a series of lightweight shots, and those artistic blank spaces, make people have endless memories, and also make many people sigh "After watching Wuji, I don't believe that "Farewell My Concubine" was really filmed by him, but now that I have watched "The Depths of a Hundred Flowers", I finally believe it".

On the surface, "Deep in a Hundred Flowers" seems to tell an absurd story: Mr. Feng, who suffers from mental illness, asks a moving company to move his non-existent home that has long been demolished, and the demolition company staged a farce with him on a ruin in order to make that money.

However, as long as the vanity on the surface is put aside, what is exposed to the audience is a rendition of human nature.

Mr. Feng is an old Beijing native, who has lived in the hutongs for most of the year and has seen flowers bloom and fall. The house had long since been demolished, but his heart remained in the past, buried under the family's tree.

The movers pretended to carry the furniture that only existed in the old man's field of vision, and coupled with the local dialect of Beijing, he suddenly had the joy of traditional cross talk.

And the deep sorrow hidden in the traditional joke is also revealed bit by bit, accompanied by the bitterness of yesterday's Qionglou Yuyu and today's yellow flower!

It turns out that the purple and red are all over the place, like this, all paid and broken wells!

In just 10 minutes, he used rich lens language and simple symbols to reveal such an epic and grand theme as "traditional culture gradually disappearing in modern civilization".

Du Caige got up and went to the bathroom to empty the inventory, and by the way, he admired the fish pond in the lobby, and those koi fish swam leisurely, which made him envious.

He also wants to be a salted fish who doesn't have to work hard to make money and can stay at home every day!

When I came back, I found Liu Zifei and they were discussing enthusiastically.

They discuss the body language and dialogue of the characters, and the use of the camera in each scene, word by word.

Obviously, it has been decided to remake a short film with the script provided by Du Caige.

Du Caige didn't disturb them, picked up the teapot and sat aside.

He's still thinking about the next book.

China has always wanted to export its culture to compete with the cultural export of the Stars and Stripes.

It's the same on Earth, it's the same on Azure Star. Relatively speaking, it is a little better to do it in the Great China of Azure Star.

So what is the signboard of the cultural output of Azure Star Dahua?

Martial arts, Xianxia.

Linked to these two elements, whether it is movies, TV series, or comics, they are more sought after by foreigners.

Well, in fact, foreigners don't know much about these, but out of curiosity, they are full of interest in what the five elements are born and restrain each other, Qimen Dunjia, and Jindan Zifu.

When Du Caige carries his works, he naturally takes into account the issue of cultural output.

Even if you can't make any money, it's worth doing it just to make foreigners have more sense of identity with our Greater Chinese culture.

So, in the next book, carry a book of martial arts or immortals?

In the case of martial arts, there are many good options, and they are also very suitable for film reform.

Relatively speaking, the film reform of Xianxia is more difficult, because in order to shoot Xianxia well, the top special effects are necessary.

And special effects mean burning money.

So choose martial arts?

Although the Great China Kingdom of Azure Star has also entered the end of the martial arts era.

But Du Caige is confident that he will carry some books to break this situation.

Traditional martial arts may have entered the end times. However, there is also the Kokushu stream!

It's a subject worth digging into.

However, after thinking about "Zhu Xian", Du Caige suddenly felt that even if he had to burn money, he would still carry a Xianxia in his next book.

Because, "Zhu Xian" has great limitations, and there are too many Xianxia elements that he wants to express, which cannot be expressed through "Zhu Xian".

So, which Xianxia to carry?

Many names floated in front of his eyes, the ancient ones were Shushan Swordsmen, and then after the era of online literature, there was an ethereal journey, there were Taoist Confucian immortals, there were mortal cultivators, covering the sky, immortals, and the more individualized ones were the Great Sage Biography, Rotten Ke Qiyuan...... Wait a minute.

But if you think about it, it doesn't seem to be too suitable for film reform.

Well, do a reader survey: which work made you first contact with Xianxia culture and fall in love with Xianxia culture?

A, The Legend of Sword and Fairy. B, The Legend of the Labyrinth. C, the Legend of the Sword God of Shilipo. D, Miscellaneous.

How many people choose D?
