In August last year, Wei Xun's song "The Story of Time" made many people begin to recall their youth.

Then, after the Spring Festival file "Chinese Partner" was released in theaters, there was a wave of nostalgia.

Taking advantage of this nostalgic trend, movies, TV series and even songs with similar youth and nostalgic themes have popped up in the market, obviously wanting to follow the trend and eat dividends.

As the guide of this wave of nostalgia, Wei Xun continued to release a nostalgic movie at this time, which is obviously suspected of eating the old book.

Not to mention that Wei Xun's new film is not only still youthful nostalgia, but it is also rumored to be a comedy.

Netizens are a little uneasy to accept this.

""Chinese Partner" is in front of Zhuyu, I can't imagine what kind of story Wei Xun can use to surpass himself with the same theme. ”

"Recently, some people have said that Wei Xun is Bai Qianqi's second, and Bai Qianqi started by making comedy action movies, so what is Wei Xun thinking, confused. ”

"I really want to stick to Bai Qianqi, just don't make comedies, make action movies, the big brother in the film circle, which didn't start with action movies. ”

"Don't be too malicious upstairs, just because Bai Qianqi started making comedies, Wei Xun can't shoot it? Just let Bai Qianqi apply for a comedy patent, it's funny. ”

"I'm a fan of Wei Xun, it doesn't matter what movie he makes, anyway, I watch what he makes. But to be honest, I think Wei Xun may not have comedy cells on him, he is too handsome and not down-to-earth enough, so he is a little worried. ”

Although Wei Xun's new movie has not yet been officially announced, I heard that it may be a nostalgic comedy theme, and many people are not optimistic about it.

On this morning, Dong Zhen knocked on the door of Wei Xun's house with the analysis of online speech opinions from the survey.

That's right, the news on the Internet about the theme of Wei Xun's new movie was deliberately released by Wei Xun here, in order to test the reaction of netizens.

"At present, it seems that there is no big problem, it is just that everyone is a little disappointed when they see that you continue to shoot old themes, and there is "Chinese Partner" Zhuyu in front. ”

handed the surveyed opinion data to Wei Xun, Dong Zhen said: "But the voices of the outside world can often only be used as references, you are the one to shoot the movie, and you control the quality yourself, and then the opposition will become praise." ”

Wei Xun looked at the data sheet given by Dong Zhen and said with a smile: "I understand this truth, compared with previous years, my online reputation this year is much better." ”

Hearing this, Dong Zhen also laughed.

In fact, when she came, she was worried that Wei Xun might feel uncomfortable when she saw these feedbacks, but as Wei Xun himself said, these voices are really small compared to the pressure of online public opinion he was under before.

So Dong Zhen asked: "Then I will monitor the trend of online public opinion for the time being, and guide it a little, but not interfere too much?"

"Okay. ”

Wei Xun nodded in agreement, then thought for a moment and said: "By the way, there is another thing, the heroine of "Charlotte's Troubles" will come to audition later, don't be in a hurry to leave, communicate with her agent about the public relations issues later, and by the way, help me refer to whether this role is suitable for her." ”

Dong Zhen smiled: "Okay." ”

Her boss is Wei Xun himself, and Wei Xun asked her to participate in the core team, which is obviously gradually accepting her.

And to be honest, Dong Zhen is quite curious about Wei Xun's new heroine.

You must know that after Wei Xun revealed his intention to make a new movie recently, Mao Bin's email and phone are being bombarded every day, and many people are asking questions about the heroine of the movie.

Even Zhai Qing made a phone call, and after hearing that the new movie was a low-budget comedy, he gave up in disappointment.

Half an hour later, Zeng Li and her agent Zhao Hui, led by Mao Bin, came to Wei Xun's house.

Medal Media is still renovating and has no suitable office location, but fortunately, Zeng Li auditioned for the heroine, so Wei Xun directly asked her to come to the door.

And after seeing Zeng Li's appearance, Dong Zhen, like Mao Bin at the beginning, felt that Wei Xun was a brain teaser.

This actress is the legendary heroine who was appointed by Wei Xun?

Oh no, I heard Mao Bin say that after Wei Xun saw this actress named Zeng Li, he had creative inspiration and wrote "Charlotte's Troubles".

Who would dare to believe it?

Don't say that Dong Zhen doesn't believe it, even Zeng Li's agency Sega Media doesn't dare to believe it, until Zeng Li's agent Zhao Hui came to Wei Xun's house with her, it can be regarded as having a sense of reality.

It turned out that this pie really fell on Zeng Li's head as a big stupid girl.

"Find a place to sit and read the script first. ”

Wei Xun motioned for everyone to sit down, and then asked Mao Bin to send the newly written script to everyone. Mao Bin has been busy recently, and this script was written by Wei Xun, so he hasn't had time to read it yet.

So everyone sat down on the couch and began to read the script.

After a few minutes of silence, the living room began to hear the sound of laughter that everyone couldn't help but hear.

Among them, Zeng Li is the most exaggerated, the tears of laughter come out, and when she encounters funny lines, she reads them directly.

"I went to the banquet alone to pretend to be chicken feathers, and my classmates pretended to be chicken feathers, hahaha I am old and talented. ”

"Charlotte's life is hard, his father is missing as soon as he was born, haha. ”

"Poof, my father's name is Ma Dong, and my father is gone as soon as I was born, so my name is Ma Dongmei. ”

Everyone was laughing in the living room, but because Wei Xun was there, everyone was restrained. Zeng Li was not restrained at all, although she had tried her best to collect it, she was still trembling with laughter.

Her agent Zhao Hui probably valued this audition opportunity very much, so he had been desperately giving Zeng Li a look and asking her to settle down, but Zeng Li didn't receive a signal at all.

Obviously, this Northeast chick has gone crazy with laughter.

Zhao Hui was angry and just wanted to hammer her to death, this tiger girl, did she realize how rare this opportunity was today!

But Wei Xun looked at Zeng Li's performance, and only felt that the more he watched, the more satisfied he became.

Next to him, Dong Zhen and Mao Bin quietly glanced at each other, and they both saw the understanding in each other's eyes.

If nothing else, this heroine must be Zeng Li. Ma Dongmei's character is simply a copy of Zeng Li, which is too appropriate.

After reading the entire script, Zeng Li raised her head, looked at Wei Xun expectantly and said, "Brother Xun, I like the role of Ma Dongmei!"

Wei Xun didn't respond immediately, but asked, "After reading the script, do you have anything to say?"

Mao Bin was the first to speak, and said with a smile: "I think it's okay, it's very funny and youthful, and I've been laughing when I watch it." But some of the lyrics in it, maybe it would be better to replace them with classic old songs?"

"From the perspective of the role of the market, comedy decompresses, so there has always been a huge audience. Dong Zhen also praised: "This book has a lot of laughter, and from the perspective of a small person, it is also very down-to-earth." ”

Hearing this, Wei Xun was noncommittal, turned to look at Zeng Li, and asked, "What do you think?"

"It's really funny, I laugh almost from beginning to end, and every character is very vivid, but I agree with Mr. Mao Bin's statement......"

Zeng Li said this, hesitated for a moment, and under the gaze of Zhao Hui, the agent next to her, as if she was about to kill, she mustered up the courage to say: "The absurd world in Xia Luo's dream, especially the lyrics in that world, makes me feel a little strange and nostalgic. Maybe Brother Xun can consider moving this dream to the real world and using songs from our time. ”

With that, the whole living room fell silent.

Zeng Li looked at Wei Xun's frowning brows, realized that she might have said too directly, and began to regret it.

But Wei Xun was not angry, he came to let everyone read the script today, in fact, he was worried about this.

The culture is not adapted, and it is easy to lack a sense of substitution.

At first, according to his original idea, he made Charlotte's dream into an absurd and strange world, and then put lyrics into it, which logically makes sense.

But later, the rejection of the visa for "Journey to the West" made Wei Xun begin to realize that the earth and here are two worlds after all, and there are differences.

If the nostalgia and sense of the times are removed, "Charlotte's Troubles", which is only left with laughter, may not reach the original height of this movie.

Even at the beginning, including the scripts of "Wuwen Xidong" and "Chinese Partner", he has made adjustments and changes.

So Wei Xun now writes "Charlotte's Troubles" completely and shows it to everyone, just through their reactions, to decide how to adjust.

It's just that compared with the above two scripts, Charlotte's biggest problem is obviously not the plot, but the song part.

If you can use the songs of this world, you need to authorize, and with the current strength of Medal Media, it is a bit difficult to negotiate copyright issues with the singers of some classic songs.

This is also the reason why Wei Xun wanted to use original songs before.

But now it seems that it is still necessary to start with the songs of the original world, so that "Charlotte's Troubles" can be integrated into this new world and accepted by the audience.
