Chapter Ninety-Eight: Script Controversy
There is still a problem with the plot.
I can't say that there is a problem, but someone has a question about a certain plot in the script.
This person is not Ye Weimin, he said it before, he never said much about the script, he just took it.
It was Xu Zheng who had doubts, so he called Zhang Bufan so urgently.
As soon as Zhang Bufan came back, he pulled people and said, "Look, at the end of this scene, I still don't think it's right about Mannie, that is, she gave up Li Chenggong too much...... It's a little easier, and if you shoot like this, it always feels like a bad person, we're a comedy. ”
Mannie, that is, the junior that Li Chenggong was looking for, Li Chenggong was in a hurry to go home for the New Year, not only for reunion, but also with the "task" she explained, that is, to divorce his wife, and then come back to marry her.
In the original script, the ending is particularly interesting here, Li Chenggong tossed all the way, and it was already late when he got home, but Mannie arrived at his house one step ahead of him, and then chatted with Li Chenggong's wife, and then left Li Chenggong a sincere breakup letter, so he gave up.
That's right, she just gave up.
When Zhang Bufan saw this, everyone was stupid.
His first reaction was, is this a normal person? This is simply a saint! Not Joan of Arc, but the Virgin Mary!
I have to describe the relationship between her and Li Chenggong as real love, and it is so profound, but in the end, I gave up because I had an inexplicable chat with Li Chenggong's wife?
Of course, Zhang Bufan knows that this is for sensationalism, and at the same time, in order to create a "good ending" solution, and promote the idea that Xiao San is wrong, but you have to be reasonable, right? This is for sensationalism, and no rationality is disregarded!
Zhang Bufan is a person who can even go under the knife for "Niu Geng's girlfriend", is it possible to let go of such an unreasonable plot? Of course it is impossible, so, just cut it, uh...... It's not deleted, it's changed.
He changed the plot after that, omitting the part where Mannie is true love for Li Chenggong, making her identity simpler, just a pure junior.
Then at the end, she did not go to Li Chenggong's house, but Li Chenggong finally woke up after this journey and decided to return to the family, so she took the initiative to decide to break up.
But in this way, it is a little unbearable in Xu Zheng.
Xu Zheng's comedies, especially those he directed later, actually have one thing in common, that is, there is no real bad guy, even if it is a villain, he will always arrange some plots for people, not whitewashing, it is better than whitewashing.
Zhang Bufan didn't expect that his problem would be at this time.
I had no choice but to be patient and fight with him, "You also read the previous script, do you think it is reasonable?"
Xu Zheng said: "That's not very reasonable, how to say it, if normal people are definitely not like Mannie in it, but, after all, this is a movie, is it from life higher than life." ”
"Above life doesn't mean. Zhang Bufan interrupted him and continued: "I know, in fact, the main thing you are struggling with is that I write like this, which seems to have written Mannie as a downright bad woman, right?"
Xu Zheng was silent for a moment and nodded.
Zhang Bufan continued, "Actually, you are wrong, I also had this concern when I wrote this, so I actually put a lot of effort into the character of Mannie. ”
This is true, it does put a lot of effort into it, but not just Mannie, but every character he has changed, because these characters are all characters he has experienced in his dreams, a character that he has become, and it will be more prudent to modify it.
In Zhang Bufan's revised script, Mannie did not go to Li Chenggong's house, and of course there was no dialogue and the breakup letter she wrote to Li Chenggong later.
On the contrary, Li Chenggong wrote her a breakup letter after he woke up.
And when she received the letter, people were playing in the bar, which was actually the entertainment that a boy and girl of her age should have.
She sat in the booth and looked at the letter, and then a handsome young man of her age came over to the dance floor, and saw her reading the letter, so he asked, "Who wrote this? No matter who wrote it, this one is too outdated, and whoever still writes letters now, it's all by email!"
Then, he held out his hand to her and urged, "Oh, don't look at it, go, dance, isn't this your favorite?"
So she took the lighter and lit the letter, the flame separated the two of them, and she murmured behind the flame, "Goodbye, my love." ”
Then she took his hand and followed him to the dance floor.
Zhang Bufan began to explain to Xu Zheng, in fact, it was a blind force, "I wrote like this, in fact, it shows a commonality of most modern girls of the same age as Mannie, that is, dare to love and hate, dare to be brave to chase their own love, she loves Li Chenggong is also true love, but later she found a better and more suitable for her, so she let him go, that's all, to be honest, such a Mannie, I think it will be more loved than Mannie in the previous script." ”
"And, look at how many things are buried in our previous plot, just for Li Chenggong's change of mentality along the way, such as the three little girls on the train who told Li Chenggong that girls love to be handsome, and those who caught rape in the small hotel, but in the end, Li Chenggong still didn't change his mind, but the junior shrunk by himself, do you think it's appropriate?"
"Really?" Xu Zheng looked at Zhang Bufan suspiciously, he always felt that Zhang Bufan was fooling him.
Of course Zhang Bufan was fooling him, seeing that he was still entangled there, so Zhang Bufan made a big move, "Actually, I'm not so entangled in this part of the plot, you can completely change back to the content in the original script, but in this case, all the scenes related to Mannie will have to be reshot, and some new content will have to be filmed, and we will have to go to a few more places, all of which will be calculated, and it is estimated that the filming time will have to be extended by at least 10 days." ”
This is really a big move for Xu Zheng now.
Because of Zhang Bufan's relationship, Lao Lang can be said to have made an all-round free publicity for "People in Embarrassment", which has attracted quite a high degree of attention, which is commendable for this movie with a total investment of less than 10 million.
Seeing that this wave of popularity is here, Xu Zheng began to get anxious, he really wanted to borrow this wave of popularity, but to borrow popularity, the movie must be released as soon as possible, and the later it is, the more the popularity will fall.
Therefore, for Xu Zheng at this time, let alone ten days and half a month, even one day is very precious, and if it is screened for one day every night, for this movie, the loss is likely to reach a six-figure box office!
So, after hearing Zhang Bufan's words, Xu Zheng made a decision almost instantly.
"I think what you said makes sense! No need to change it, just shoot according to your script!"
Get!
