Chapter 30: The first draft of the script for the big movie with a tremolo
The day after returning from Jingdong East Road, Qi Binxuan went to the Maker Tea House to open the door in the morning, and when he arrived at the door of the store, he saw that Brother Desert was already waiting outside the store.
Qi Binxuan opened the door, welcomed Brother Desert into the house, and asked, "Why did you come so early?" ”
Brother Desert said: "Didn't I hear Xiaolan call yesterday that you were back, didn't I rush over early in the morning?" In the past few days, I've been heartbroken about the script of this tribrato movie, and I'm so busy. This is finally coming out, let you see and help give some advice. ”
Qi Bin smiled and said, "Are you in such a hurry?"
"Why not be in a hurry. The director was urging the plan several times a day. But I don't let you read this script, and I feel a little unsteady. ”
Qi Binxuan didn't say much, took the script and started to look at it, and said casually: "Make your own tea, take your own snacks, you're welcome." ”
Brother Desert said with a smile: "Okay, you just watch yours, don't worry about me." ”
Qi Binxuan flipped through the script. This storyline is relatively simple.
A male and female duo, with a dream of music, mingles in major bars to perform. They live a hard life, but they still don't give up on their dreams. Interspersed with some little things that they have worked so hard to perform.
When they heard that Trill was going to hold a competition, they felt that their opportunity had come and decided to sign up.
After hard work, they successfully passed the audition. After some hard fighting, he reached the top 32. However, on the way to the top 16, they encountered a black whistle and they were brushed down. In the 16-8 competition, a group of players are unable to participate in the competition due to special reasons. The referee had intended to give their opponents a bye, but the spectators disagreed, so after negotiation, it was decided to play a repechage match from the 16 teams that had been eliminated, and the winning group would play the match.
After some hard work, the protagonist group finally got a place in the repechage. After that, in order to improve the quality of his work, he discussed the revision plan with his friends who worked at the bar. In the end, he relied on his strength to enter the finals.
However, in the final, it was the black whistle opponent encountered during the 32-16 competition. The protagonist group was already disheartened at the time, and felt that no matter how hard they tried, they would still repeat the same mistakes as before.
During the interval between competitions, when they were playing in the bar, they were depressed and their singing was not up to standard. The owner of the bar talked to them, asked them why, and then told them: "No matter what the result of the game is, you must first get over yourself." If you don't work hard, it won't fall on your head even if you have the opportunity, and if you work hard, you will have a clear conscience even if you fail. ”
With the encouragement of the bar owner, the protagonist group rekindles their fighting spirit and actively prepares for the fight. On the day of the final, just as the match was about to start, the referee suddenly announced a new rule. Given that the two teams have already played once before, the referees have already scored once. This time, in order to compete fairly and avoid the judges being affected by the previous scoring, it was decided that the score would be scored by 1,000 spectators on the spot.
The protagonist group then remembered the words of the bar owner, "If you don't work hard, even if you have the opportunity, it won't fall on your head." Immediately full of emotion, no matter what the result is, I can never give up the struggle.
Later, in the game, the protagonist group played extraordinarily and finally won the game. Although the protagonists later became stars, they still often went to that bar to perform and became an out-and-out pro-people singer.
At the end of the easter egg, someone asked the bar owner why he did this, and the bar owner said: "I developed the vibrato so that people can show their talents, since they work so hard, how can I not give them a chance." ”
Qi Bin closed the script and thought for a long time. Brother Desert saw that Qi Binxuan had finished reading it, staring at him with a teacup, waiting for his evaluation. But after waiting for a long time, seeing that Qi Binxuan was still in a daze, he couldn't help but ask, "How do you feel about this script?"
Qi Binxuan said: "I'm not a professional screenwriter, maybe some of my ideas are a little different from yours. ”
Brother Desert said: "It's okay, let's just talk casually, don't have any scruples." ”
Qi Binxuan thought about it, considered the language and said, "I just feel that there are a few aspects that are not suitable. The first is that the tremolo has not competed, but your competitor 'Xiaoshi' has conducted an audition competition. So isn't it appropriate for your movie to be an audition competition, is this an advertisement for you, or is it an advertisement for your opponents?"
Brother Desert gasped when he heard this, this is not the right question.
Qi Binxuan didn't wait for Brother Desert to express his opinion, and then said: "Second, the theme of the competition is too much. Many movies use this theme, and there is nothing new about it. And some variety shows make a related movie at the end of the year, and most of them are related to some competitions, which is too uncreative. ”
Brother Desert thought to himself, yes, the idea is not novel enough.
Qi Binxuan thought for a while and then said: "The third point is that the protagonist lived a difficult life at the beginning, and finally succeeded after hard work. This idea is good, but which star can't get out of the position after a lot of hard work? What you want to express is that you don't know how hard they work. yes, but does your movie show them how different their efforts are compared to the average person?"
Brother Desert was already in a cold sweat, thinking that it was fortunate that he didn't hand it over, otherwise he wouldn't know what he would have been criticized.
"Fourthly, the vibrato developed by the bar owner, and the singer of their bar in the game didn't even know about it? Fifth, there is a black whistle in the game, and the last victory over the black whistle is the 'greeting' of the big boss. It's a bit dark. Sixth......; Seventh ......"
Brother Desert finally listened to Qi Binxuan's analysis, and was already sweating profusely. Brother Desert sighed: "It seems that I am not the material to do this, I will resign tomorrow, and then be my announcer." ”
Qi Binxuan also felt a little embarrassed, did he hit Brother Desert too badly and made him lose confidence. So Qi Bin persuaded him: "Actually, no, your script still has a lot of merits." And it's so hard to find a job now, it's rare to find a wishful one, so why quit. ”
"But it's time to hand over the plan. I'm definitely too late to write another script now. ”
Qi Binxuan thought for a while and said, "Why don't you give me two days, and I'll give you a little modification." ”
Brother Desert had the idea of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, and said, "Okay, then please leave it to you." ”
"Okay, you can get the script at noon the day after tomorrow. But in the past two days, you have to think about how to revise it, maybe you can intersperse your comments when the time comes. ”
After Brother Desert said goodbye and left, Qi Binxuan took out a few pieces of copy paper and began to write and draw on them. During this period, a few old tea guests came, and Qi Binxuan asked them to make their own tea and drink, and they didn't bother to greet them.
When he went home in the evening, after eating in two bites, Qi Bin put down the bowl and immediately went into his bedroom. Qi's father and Qi's mother looked at each other, not knowing what Qi Binxuan was doing. Qi's father gave Qi's mother a look, Qi's mother brought a plate of peeled apples into Qi Binxuan's room, saw Qi Binxuan lying on the desk writing and drawing, and then typed quickly on the computer, and asked, "Xiaoxuan, what are you doing again?"
"Mom, I didn't do anything. A friend was in trouble and I helped him revise the script. ”
"Hey, do you need to bother so much, you haven't even eaten well. It's a freshly peeled apple, and you'll eat it in a moment. ”
"Okay Mom, I'll eat later. This time is more urgent, I may have to stay up late today, you don't have to worry about me. ”
"Okay, you won't have to go to the tea house tomorrow. I'll tell your dad to open the door. Qi's mother replied casually.
Not to mention how Qi's mother told Qi's father after she went out, only that Qi Binxuan wrote and drew on the paper, and marked an arrow from time to time to move the incident to a certain position. Occasionally, I looked up some information on the computer. After staying up until two or three o'clock at night, I felt a little sleepy, set a watch, and woke up after half an hour, and then I didn't take off my clothes, and I fell asleep on the bed.
Half an hour later, the alarm went off, he looked at the time in a daze, felt that it was still early, pressed the option of the phone's alarm clock to ring again in ten minutes, and then fell asleep. Then the alarm goes off again and presses again. This was repeated three or four times, and finally Qi Binxuan defeated the sleepy worm, got up, read the outline on the paper, and then typed on the computer.
In the morning, Qi's mother came to call Qi Binxuan for breakfast, and when she saw Qi Binxuan with red eyes and continued to type in front of the computer, she couldn't help asking, "You revised it all night yesterday?"
Qi Binxuan said: "No, I slept for an hour in the middle." ”
"Okay, the meal is ready, hurry up to eat, and go to bed after eating. For the sake of other people's affairs, do you need to work so hard? ”
Qi Bin promised and said, "I know Mom, I'll go to dinner after I finish writing this paragraph." Otherwise, after a while, the idea will be gone, and you will have to find inspiration. ”
During the meal, Qi's father said that he would open a store for a while, and asked Qi Binxuan to calm down at home and write well. Qi's mother said, just write casually, your body is important, don't stay up late. Qi Binxuan no matter who spoke, his mouth was full of promises, and his mind was still thinking about the script.
At noon, Qi's mother pushed open the door and saw Qi Binxuan standing at the window, looking out the window, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Qi Binxuan heard Qi's mother speak, turned his head, and saw that his eyes were blank, and there seemed to be no focus in his eyes. ”
"Did you sleep in the morning?"
"No, I'm not sleepy. ”
"I haven't slept much all day, and I'm not sleepy. Hurry up and eat and sleep. I'll bring your dad food in a moment. ”
"Or I'll go. ”
"I'm not worried about you, you better rest at home. ”
When Qi's mother came to call Qi Bin Xuan to eat at night, she found that he was sleeping in bed, so she was relieved and didn't call him to get up, so he continued to sleep. What Qi's mother didn't know was that Qi Binxuan was busy all afternoon, and she couldn't hold on until she lay down and went to sleep, and only slept for about 20 minutes.
After more than half an hour, the alarm clock woke Qi Binxuan up, Qi Binxuan went out to eat, Qi's mother hurriedly heated the meal again, and asked, "Have you finished revising the script?"
"Almost, there's an end left. ”
"Aren't you an engineering student? How did your friend think of asking you to revise the script? ”
Qi Binxuan was stunned when he heard this, and said casually: "Maybe it feels like I'm versatile, right?"
Qi's mother was amused by Qi Binxuan, and said with a smile: "You are smart when you are young." Otherwise, how would you get into college? But you can't always be so serious. The diligent person is the slave of the lazy, and you agree to the request of others, but as a result, the dirty work is always done by yourself, and the effort is thankless, and you will suffer. ”
Qi Bin smiled and said, "I know Mom, it's okay." This is an occasional favor, you said that I am now the owner of a tea house, and I always direct others to do their work, or do my own work, so what is there to lose. ”
At dinner, Qi Bin pondered over Qi's mother's words, "A diligent man is a slave to a lazy man," which seemed to be very philosophical, and whether it could be used in a movie script? Suddenly, he thought that he had trained diligently, compiled a laser sniper tutorial, racked his brains for the development of the Dragon Tooth Squadron, and prevented the hijacking incident with all his life, but he ended up retiring with an injury, and even his military exploits were robbed. And Le Zhenglong, who was stunned, robbed himself of his merits, and he didn't know which department he was promoted to.
Hey, sure enough, the diligent people are the slaves of the lazy.
Thinking of this, Qi Binxuan suddenly lacked interest in revising the script. But thinking that since he had agreed to Brother Desert and that he had given Brother Desert the idea of making a movie, he was ready to finish the script.
In the evening, Feng Siyu came to Qi Bin to play. After Qi's mother welcomed her in, she said that Qi Binxuan was revising the script, Feng Siyu suddenly smiled and said: "Qi Binxuan can still write a script? I have to take a look at this, and I can still brag to my friends when it is released." ”
"What's the point of writing a script, didn't Xiao Xuan go to make a movie a few days ago? "Chinese Husband", let him take you to see it when the movie comes out. ”
"Yes, yes. I can't wait to see it. ”
Feng Siyu pushed the door into Qi Binxuan's house by herself, and saw that Qi Binxuan was typing, so she carefully closed the door without making a sound. Then he tiptoed behind Qi Bin Xuan and watched him concentrate on typing.
Feng Siyu stood behind Qi Binxuan for almost an hour, and as Qi Binxuan typed, she almost couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw the burden in it;
After Qi Binxuan finished writing the end of the movie, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief, then stretched and leaned his head back in the chair. Who knew that when he leaned his head on the back of the chair and looked up, there was a head looking down at himself, with his hair scattered and his long hair fluttering, which startled Qi Binxuan.
Qi Bin Xuan shouted: "Ghost." Then an elbow struck backwards.
With Feng Siyu's scream, she fell to the floor. Qi Binxuan realized that it was Feng Siyu and hurriedly got up to help her up.
Qi's mother ran to open the door when she heard the sound and asked, "What's wrong?" As a result, she saw Feng Siyu lying on the floor with her back facing the sky, Qi Binxuan squatted on the ground and wrapped her hands around Feng Siyu's shoulders, so she slammed the door shut again.
Waiting for Qi Binxuan to help Feng Siyu to the side of the bed and sit down, Feng Siyu hammered Qi Binxuan's arm with a hammer and said, "It's a big shame now." ”
Qi Bin said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, my mother won't talk nonsense." ”
Feng Siyu rubbed his chest and said angrily: "It hurts, you are so heavy, you have to be responsible for flattening it." ”
"Hehe, I'm also responsible for not flattening it. ”
Feng Siyu's face was red at what he said, but after thinking about it, he said angrily: "Who did you just say is a ghost?" Am I that ugly?"
Qi Binxuan explained: "I was concentrating on writing the script just now, and I didn't know that you were behind me. And when I looked at it just now, your face was reversed, with your chin facing up, your eyes pointing down, and your long hair hanging down, and you couldn't see clearly, so I wasn't surprised. ”
Feng Siyu still said that he didn't believe it, it was Qi Binxuan's quibble. Qi Binxuan said Then you sit there, let's change it, and you can see if that's the case.
Waiting for Feng Siyu to sit on the chair and lean back with her head back, Qi Binxuan leaned over from behind the chair and stared at Feng Siyu. Feng Siyu looked at Qi Binxuan's upside-down face and deliberately widened eyes, feeling very funny, and laughed.
Qi Binxuan looked at Feng Siyu who was smiling, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but lean down a little lower and kiss Feng Siyu's lips.
Feng Siyu whined twice and pushed Qi Binxuan away with all his might. The two of them were immediately embarrassed.
Feng Siyu diverted the topic and said, "Have you finished writing this script?"
"After writing it roughly, I need to read through it a few more times, revise the things that don't make sense, and improve the details. ”
"Then you send me a copy, and I'll go back and see. ”
Qi Binxuan operated the script in his hand, and said: "Okay, but you can just read it yourself, you can't pass it on, if this is really a movie, the script still needs to be kept secret." ”
Feng Siyu said: "Got it." I'll see for myself. When the movie came out, I was showing off to my friends that it was my boyfriend who wrote it. ”
Qi Binxuan heard the word "boyfriend" and stared at Feng Siyu silly. Feng Siyu blushed and said, "I'll go first." He turned and ran.
Qi Binxuan stared at Feng Siyu's distant back, smirked for a while, then pursed his lips, and then revised the script.
The more he revised, the more he was engaged, and Qi Binxuan revised it all night. The next morning, while eating, I fell asleep, but as soon as I lost my balance, my head lowered, I woke up again, and then resumed eating.
Qi's mother muttered beside her, "I didn't see you work so hard during the college entrance examination." Revise a script as for it. ”
Father Qi said beside him: "Entrusted by the king, loyal to the king, this is the duty of a man." Qi Binxuan did the right thing. ”
Qi's mother was dissatisfied with the rag and said, "You know that you are against me." Make him have a virtue with you, promise to be good, turn your face and go your own way. ”
Qi's father retorted: "What's wrong with being like me? Is it wrong to be a son like Lao Tzu?"
"Gotta get it, I won't quarrel with you, you hurry up and open the door to eat. Let Xiao Xuan make up for a while. ”
When it was almost noon, Qi Binxuan woke up. After hastily eating the lunch made by Qi's mother, she picked up the script draft typed out by the home printer, and went to the Maker Tea House with the lunch box for Qi's father. When I arrived at the tea house, I saw that Brother Desert was already waiting in the store early.
Brother Desert asked eagerly, "Has the script been revised?"
Qi Binxuan first handed the lunch box to his father, and then handed the manuscript to Brother Desert, and said, "I revised it slightly." Hey, I haven't slept well in the past two days, and when you show the tremolo higher-ups, you'll have to treat me to a good meal. ”
Brother Desert agreed: "No problem." Don't say a meal, it's okay for a week. Then he eagerly flipped through the script.
