On a Saturday in early April, the temperature is pleasant, perfect for small gatherings.

Taking advantage of the good box office trend of "Painted Skin 2", Gan Jing gathered friends to an informal celebration.

What does it mean to be informal?

"The box office is good, let's have a drink. ”

Raise your glass.

Zhang Zhonghui, Xie Jiang, Liu Peichuan, Li Zaoyu, Yang Nan and other actors, as well as producer Zhou Hongzhi and photographer Fan Ze all raised their wine glasses, juice and water glasses.

"Congratulations, congratulations. ”

"The results are very good, and I hope that one billion. ”

"Come on, come on. ”

Let's have a drink.

Gan Jing poured himself a glass of apple juice again and said, "Let's talk about this drama that Lao Zhang is planning to film." ”

The celebration lasted thirty seconds before the victory ended.

With Gan Jing's words, everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Zhonghui's face.

Zhang Zhonghui's expression was serious, and after a few seconds of aftertaste, he said, "Hey, why is this wine so ripe?

"Well, it tastes good, right?" asked Gan Jing.

Zhang Zhonghui put down his wine glass and sighed: "You see, Forrest Gump is this kind of person, obviously it is my wine, it seems that he invited me, and this drama "Wrestling! Dad" is also like this, obviously he pulled me to act, but he threw out an unformed script for me to discuss with the screenwriter. ”

He looked at Li Zaoyu and educated: "You can learn from him hard about acting, and the rest of you are not sensitive." ”

Li Zaoyu replied with a smile: "Thank you for not being sensitive, even if it is disrespectful, there is still Xie, I sing out of tune, and I can learn well with Xinxin." ”

Liu Peichuan teased: "You have to learn from Sister Xin when you sing, Brother Gan is the one who sings and breaks the sound, and the "Laughter in the Sea" sung in the car is very widespread." ”

"Obviously, they like to see me break my voice. Gan Jing shook his head again and again, normally, the heat on the Internet will soon dissipate, but the popularity of the chorus "A Laugh in the Sea" video is still very high today, he pulled the topic back, "Lao Zhang said that he wanted to change the protagonist's living background from a mountain village to a rural area, what do you think?"

Zhang Zhonghui didn't wait for others to speak, and said first: "This script, screenwriter Lin and I both thought it was more reasonable to put it in a mountain village, objectively speaking, it was more ignorant over there, and the conflict about the status of women was more intense." ”

Photographer Fan Ze agreed: "That's right. ”

Zhang Zhonghui frowned and said: "But the mountain village is too far away, or in other words, such a background setting is far away from the vast majority of the audience, and the countryside is different, and, considering the box office, this familiar cognition and sense of expectation is also better." ”

The box office results of the movie are an important thing, Liu Peichuan originally wanted to speak, but suddenly found that Li Zaoyu, who had always spoken casually, was drinking drinks, so he also forced himself to drink a sip of boiled water.

At this time, the old director Xie Jiang said: "At this time, I began to think about what box office. ”

Gan Jing smiled and teased: "Lao Xie is not 'at this time', your big director doesn't think about the box office at any time, not only the box office, I don't think you have considered the matter of review." ”

Xie Jiang let out a disdainful "heh".

Gan Jing continued: "However, now I really don't have to think too much about the box office, in addition to Lao Zhang's value, the cost of this drama is not high, even if you lose it, you can afford it." In addition, I felt that instead of thinking about the distance between the background of the script and the general public, I should think about how to make the story self-consistent. ”

Li Zaoyu interjected: "Brother Gan is right. ”

Zhang Zhonghui and Xie Jiang rolled their eyes at the same actress.

Li Zaoyu laughed twice and expressed his thoughts: "Brother Gan told me a long time ago that the story is not self-consistent, and it is easy for the audience to play, and this kind of play is more serious than the distance and proximity of the background set in the script. ”

The two celebrities were more serious, and Gan Jing took a sip of juice noncommittally.

The young actor Yang Nan didn't speak, he kept listening attentively, while producer Zhou Hongzhi and cinematographer Fan Ze whispered to each other from time to time.

The assistants who were a little farther away were laughing, but they felt that the atmosphere of the small party had become serious, so they stopped talking and just looked over quietly.

"I have also read the script that Mr. Zhang is going to play several times, uh, I don't know which version I have changed to now, but the general context should not have changed. Li Zaoyu continued, "In a feature film like this, especially the explanation of the background at the beginning, many viewers will wonder at the beginning, who is the male protagonist, and why did he go back to teach his daughter ...... since he won the domestic championship."

"This kind of thing is easy to have problems if we don't figure it out, it doesn't necessarily have to be filmed in detail, in that case, it will inevitably be bloated, just have such a clue of scales and half claws, specifically, just like Mr. Zhang, the male protagonist, wrestling is an unpopular project in our country, even if you win the national championship, there is no good place to go after retirement. ”

Zhang Zhonghui nodded and said: "Well, the current script has been revised, he was injured and retired after winning the domestic championship, and he failed to appear on the international stage." ”

Li Zaoyu pondered: "It's a reasonable detail, just the four words 'injured and retired' can actually imagine a lot of warmth and coldness, and the protagonist is sad to return to the mountain village where he was born and raised, we can explain this matter with two or three pictures." ”

Zhang Zhonghui is a little hesitant, he understands what kind of dramatic tension is, the problem is that the script does not need to pursue extremes in many cases, and can find a balance.

Xie Jiang pondered for a while and said: "The scenery of the mountain village is relatively easy to shoot, which can make the movie picture very good, the scenery of the mountain village is very good, but the backward quiet picture with some scenes will make people feel that it is just a hotbed of backwardness, and this contrast effect is relatively easy." ”

Gan Jing didn't say anything when he heard it, so he threw the topic to Yang Nan, a young actor who had not yet graduated from Chinese opera, with interest: "What does Yang Nan think?"

Yang Nan looks honest, and the roles he starred in "Charlotte's Troubles" and "The Romance of My Father and Mother" are more suitable for him, and this year he will cooperate with Yao Tiannan in "Iron Fist of Shame", which is an actor who is considered to be liked by the boss within the company.

He is cautious, this time he was called to a small party to warn himself to talk less and listen more, and now he was suddenly asked a nervous feeling of being named by the teacher in the Chinese opera: "Uh, uh, I think Sister Yu said a lot." ”

Li Zaoyu smiled: "What's the matter? It means that I'm right if I say more, right?"

Yang Nan shook his head: "No, I mean what I want to say has already been said by Sister Yu......"

Gan Jingwan smiled, looked away, and said to Zhang Zhonghui: "I actually think it's better to set the background in a mountain village. ”

Yang Nan saw that the boss took the topic over and went straight down, and felt a little regretful in his heart, feeling that he should say more, there are big directors, big actors, big photographers, and small movie queens sitting here, and it seems that he still has to behave if he can behave.

"I agree with Li Zaoyu and Lao Xie. Gan Jing said lightly, "First of all, don't deal with this story too complicated, in a word, the father trains his daughter to become a champion, and secondly, I think there are screenwriters who want to add elements to criticize the athlete selection mechanism, which is not necessary." ”

"In other words, just a few lines of dragonfly water, we are making a movie, not a criticism conference. ”

"In the end, the pursuit of self-consistency of the story is the primary task, just starting from the actor's instinct, so that it is easy to convince himself during the performance, if the actor can't even convince himself, then how can he convince the audience? ”

"Finally, Lao Fan, you still have to keep an eye on the photography of this play, at this juncture this year, you know. ”

Gan Jing looked at the photographer Fan Ze.

Fan Ze frowned slightly, and nodded first: "Well, don't call me Lao Fan, call me Fan Ze." ”

Gan Jing shrugged: "I just like Lao Fan's temper, and he has the same style as his shot." ”

He reached out and touched the photographer's wine glass, revealing a simple smile, this time the camera movement and picture of "Let's Wrestle! Dad" are quite compatible with Fan Ze.
