Chapter 461: Innocent
Cai Chusheng, a director during the Republic of China, said: "A screenwriter and director is not just a casual film on film and finished, but he should at least be a writer, a writer with a unique style and correct understanding and owned by the public." β
Han Jue thought so, and before teaching Xiao Zhou's techniques, he first trained Xiao Zhou's text creation ability.
Regardless of the field, the opposition between the wild road and the academic school is always widespread. Han Jue was born in the wild road in his previous life, but he would not despise the academic school, he didn't care about the faction, he just learned. So Han Jue also knocked on the textbook and trained himself by referring to the Hollywood script writing course.
Han Jue used the academic way to lay the foundation for Xiao Zhou. It's a lot of training.
Han Jue didn't hide his selfishness, he taught it with all his heart, and asked Xiao Zhou to write dozens of pages every week, but Xiao Zhou was so busy that he didn't have time to shoot Han Jue's videos.
After Xiao Zhou finished writing, Han Jue would find people in the team to read aloud and discuss in different roles, and he also commented at the same time.
"There are too many clauses, how can anyone talk like this in life? Let the character spit out the stones in his mouth before speaking. β
"Plain words do not mean vulgarity. β
"Never waste pen and ink writing what a camera can't capture. β
"Psychological depictions are not necessary. The screenwriter should leave a part of the character creation space to the actors, rather than using language to manipulate the actors. β
Xiao Zhou has been with Han Jue for more than half a year, and he has long figured out Han Jue's resolute and easy-going temperament in big and small things, and he has respect for Han Jue, but he is not very afraid. But when Han Jue taught him a lesson, Xiao Zhou, who was bold and big-hearted, didn't dare to joke at all. When Han Jue picked up his script, Xiao Zhou's heart fluttered with fear. Han Jue just frowned and flattened, his eyes looked up and sank, such a few small expressions made Xiao Zhou's heart rise and fall, and he felt like he had returned to his miserable childhood.
The type of homework assigned by Han Jue is not limited, and Xiao Zhou is asked to write the stories he is interested in. Xiao Zhou writes about social animals becoming killers, and also writes about the struggles of transgender workers, which spans a lot. Correspondingly, you have to read books in many fields, and after reading them, you have to continue to write, and you have to write every day.
Sometimes, in order not to put his hands on the keyboard to type, Xiao Zhou can even count his hair in the mirror. But under Han Jue's persecution, Xiao Zhou had to continue writing.
"If a writer really wants to start writing, he must first abandon the naΓ―ve idea of enjoying writing. Enjoyment is the audience's business, and it's the completion of the business. There is no fun in writing, there is no fun in writing. β
Making money is a boring thing, and Xiao Zhou just thinks of them as romantic.
Xiao Zhou first tasted the pain of professionalism, and it was naturally not easy to study after work. But no matter what, he gritted his teeth and refused to give up. He felt that if he gave up just here, he would lose many, many tangible and intangible things.
"What are you talking about?" Jalens walked in through the door with a spring breeze that his sunglasses couldn't hide, and shook the takeaway lunch bag in his hand. Guan Yi immediately went to pick it up.
"Nothing, a homework. Han Jue said.
Xiao Zhou greeted Jalens with a sad face.
Jalens put lunch and walked around Han Jue's high-end apartment with a monthly rent of 50,000 yuan, and said, "It's too dilapidated here!"
Han Jue didn't react, he didn't expect Jarrens to say anything nice when he came to his new home from the beginning.
"I'll buy you a villa!" said Jarens.
"Forget it, I can't afford to pay for the repairs and insurance," Han Jue took out his lunch and beckoned everyone to have lunch, "It's just a place to stay, and I don't live often." β
Jalens sat down as he muttered that he didn't want a few more dollars.
"How's it going?" Han Jue asked.
"It went well," Jalens smirked and smirked, "as soon as they heard it was our company, they signed it." β
Jalens followed Han Jue to the United States this time for the sake of the film company. Their film production company, with Jarens's financial resources and Xia Yuan's execution, immediately pulled up a framework. As for the filling of talents, although several newcomers in the industry have released a very topical and high-quality "Time and Space Traveler", the attraction to talents is still insufficient.
Wang Zhi, one of the shareholders, said that it is cost-effective to simply go to the United States to find talents to fill the skeleton.
Han Jue, Xia Yuan, and Jarens all agreed.
So with Jarens's clothes, he returned home and recruited talents.
The news even shook the official of the United States. In fact, there are several movies of [Huamei Cooperation] every year, but industry insiders know that that cooperation is just a good thing. The so-called [Sino-US cooperation] is just invested by the local tyrants of the United States, and Huaxia gives a role with only one or two sentences of inconsequential lines, and the cooperation is over. The production team of the film is still Chinese. This kind of cooperation, even if it is to make a hundred movies, the United States will not be able to learn the slightest skill, and in the end, it is still the injustice that pays and is satisfied when he sees the American face in the movie.
In recent years, the most genuine [Sino-American cooperation] movie, "Time and Space Traveler" is well deserved.
Han Jue, an old friend of the American people, has a good reputation for all to see, in the extremely xenophobic Chinese film and television circle, he boldly uses American faces, and there is no shortage of Americans in the main creative team, and he is a director who truly treats Americans equally. And he is a very talented director.
Now that Han Jue has built a bridge like a leading party, how can they be indifferent?
Those actors who want to be like Jack and Jennifer and hope to become popular overnight are moved, filmmakers who want to go to Huaxia to learn advanced technology and then feed back to the motherland are moved, and those who have ambitions in the Chinese film and television industry are also moved.
Jalens has recently become the new darling of the social scene in the film and television industry. American officials cordially received Jalens and invited Han Jue to come to the United States next time to shoot a movie. The capital industry wants to invest, and the film and television industry wants to cooperate.
The team brought by Jalens followed the list provided by photographers Amanda and Jennifer to recruit film talents in front of and behind the scenes, and the process was very smooth and the other party was very interested.
After listening to Jarens's report on his achievements, Han Jue breathed a sigh of relief.
On the one hand, I am happy for the company's business, and on the other hand, I am happy for myself.
Now he has the backing of [Blue Whale] in Huaxia and the official knife in the United States. From now on, if he turns his face with [Aidu], he will no longer be restricted by [Aidu] in his career.
"You can pull it up right away. What do you want to shoot next?" asked Han Jue with great interest. He is now waiting to see Han Jue's movie.
Han Jue pulled the rice and said vaguely, "I haven't thought about it yet." β
"Why don't you shoot the police and bandits!" Jalens perked up, thinking about his police and bandit films, "Just shoot the "Modern Invincible Bloody Police Detective"!
Han Jue felt a headache.
"Director Sun signed it, right?" Han Jue asked his assistant director.
"Signed. β
"Let Director Sun lead a team to make a movie, it's a pity that he has always been an assistant director. β
Xia Yuan said the same, but Director Sun said that he hadn't found the script he wanted to shoot yet. β
"What kind of movie does Director Sun want to make?"
"Suspenseful. It also costs a little more. I really don't know what you people are polite about, obviously saying that the company is not bad for money. Jalens shook his head: "Xia Yuan went to a few screenwriters to ask for a book, I read it, it's super boring, and the writing is worse than mine!"
"Xiao Zhou, take my notebook. Han Jue asked Xiao Zhou to bring his notebook to record inspiration. I flipped through the pages, found a line of words, thought about it, and said:
"The protagonist is an engineer who raises his daughter alone after his wife dies, but he doesn't communicate much with his daughter, and one day his daughter suddenly disappears. The police suspect that the daughter ran away from home. The protagonist feels that the truth is more than that, so he investigates alone. He opened his daughter's laptop and looked for clues in social software and live broadcast software...... So, most of the plot is shown through the pages of the computer. The technique is relatively new, and there are no movies of this kind on the market, how about it?"
"It's ok. Jalens nodded.
Han Jue turned a few more pages and said, "The protagonist's wife was killed, and he wants revenge." But he suffers from [short-term memory loss] and can only remember what happened ten minutes ago. In order to continue life, and to avenge the tragic death of his wife, the protagonist relies on tattoos, notes, snapshots, and a lot of bits and pieces to preserve memories, collect clues, and carry out investigations. ...... How's this going?"
"Not bad, not bad. Jalens said.
Han Jue flipped and read again, and read three or four in a row. Obviously, there were only about twenty or thirty words recorded in each story in the notebook, but Han Jue unfolded it and read out hundreds of words. Each story character has a character, a motivation to do things, a story with suspense, and a complete structure.
Xiao Zhou on the side was dumbfounded.
[This, this feeling...... Could it be the feeling of Zhang Zishang learning music from his boss?!]
Jalens listened to a few and said, "I'll let him contact you then!"
"Okay. Han Jue put down his notebook and continued to eat.
Jalens suddenly thought of something, frowned and asked Han Jue, "This book of yours is all ideas, and every idea is a story?"
Han Jue nodded.
Jalens let out an "oh", lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of rice, then suddenly raised his head and said viciously: "Then you still say that you don't know what to shoot?!
"......" Han Jue held the notebook, his expression was very innocent, "I don't know which ...... to shoot"
It was like standing in front of a closet full of clothes, picking and choosing, and finally saying that he had no clothes to wear.
