0355 "Struggle"

"I recently had a TV series to start working on. β€œ

"Ah," Ji Ming blinked: "What kind of subject did you say, am I suitable?"

"......" Huang Sanshi was a little embarrassed, and cleared his throat: "What are we, we can't afford to invite you." ”

Ji Ming is now going to act in a TV series, the price is really high, and it is estimated at 50 million. With Huang Sanshi's project, I really can't afford to invite him, the key is that people don't plan to invite him - no need, just a family parent-child drama, find a few children of the right age, and the effect will be twice as good.

Especially cheap.

Ji Ming was indeed a little embarrassed, he had read too much of the script, thinking that everyone wanted to come to him for filming: "Hahaha, I'm kidding you." So you're looking for me?"

"It's just that I'm working on the script, and there's a child in it -- this is a parent-child, family-themed theme in the college entrance examination stage, so there's a child, the one who plays my son, and he plans to take the art exam, isn't there some words in between? For example, I encouraged him, saying that there was a famous actor who was ugly, like a bull terrier, and wasn't he also popular? I also wanted to add a little bit of your words to rub off on your popularity. ”

If you don't want me to act, you still want to rub my heat, and everyone wants to rub my heat.

"Is the bull terrier Teacher Honglei or Teacher Yongjian?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ah, they're a bit alike, I said Red Thunder. ”

Ji Ming is smiling, he also has the friendship of the Extreme Men's Gang, if he changes to a TV series, if he dares to tease Mr. Honglei like this, he will have to make a feud.

"Okay, you can write it, you still called to ask about this little thing. ”

"I should have asked. Huang Sanshi also knew that Ji Ming would not refuse, this friendship was still there, and he would say a few words of greeting after finishing the matter, but he couldn't just hang up, it was too ruthless: "Xiao Chu and Siqing are back from the show, right?"

"Came back, it's been a few days. ”

A few words.

"Okay, then I won't bother you. If there's anything I can help, just tell me. "Huang Sanshi is going to hang up.

"Hey, Mr. Huang, I really have something to ask you to help with. ”

Looking for Huang Lei is actually similar to looking for Shu Lian, after all, Ji Ming is not looking for them to write a script, but just learning the skills of writing a script, it just so happens that Huang Sanshi still has a script in his hand, which is a little more convenient than Shu Lian.

How can Huang Sanshi know that there will be a follow-up if he is polite.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You say you say. ”

Ji Ming said.

"Do you want to write a book yourself?" Huang Sanshi paused for a moment, and was happy: "What's the matter? Can't find a good book?

"Where is the national book. Ji Ming is also quite frank: "The main thing is that I have such an idea in my heart, so I itch, and the motive is not right when I look at other books, and I always want to find out what is bad about others." So I thought I'd better get my book out first.,And then find some teachers to help me look at it.,If it's operable, do it.,If not.,I can also choose the script in a down-to-earth way.。 ”

Huang Sanshi started writing his own scripts and acting by himself within a few years of his debut, and he also directed himself. I understand Ji Ming's idea very well. Being able to control a little more things on his own must be something that any confident person wants to do, unless he can meet a very good partner, a very good team, and can cooperate so much all the time.

"Okay, when you see when you have time, come to the house, I'll talk to you, you can also tell your thoughts, and I'll help you with the staff. ”

"Thank you so much. ”

"Don't rush to thank you, since you have a request for me, hehe, then I have to reconsider. Speaking of which, your teacher Taohong is also going to appear this time, let me think about it, should I arrange a relationship scene for you? ex-boyfriend what, string one. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Don't mess with me. ”

"Haha, I'll talk about it when you come, contact me in advance. ”

"Okay. ”

Huang Sanshi should be down, that is, he should be down, and it is still relatively reliable. So Ji Ming didn't fake politeness, and after two days, he came to the door when he found the time. This seems to be the first time he has come to Huang's house alone, the house is very quiet, Teacher Sun is not there, and his daughter is not there, so Teacher Huang is alone in the study, and there are many snacks on the table, sweet and salty.

"Coming?" Huang Sanshi is also very old-fashioned, with a pile of manuscript paper in front of him. Seeing Ji Ming looking at those snacks: "After quitting smoking, when you are annoyed, you will eat some, the more you eat, the fatter you get, that's how it came." ”

"Haha, isn't it because you're a part-time cook?"

Huang Sanshi patted his stomach: "The main thing is that I am old, at your age, no matter how much I eat, I will not have a big belly." But seriously, you must remember not to smoke this cigarette. When you're messed up with the script and the story, it might be like a bite. It's easy to smoke, but it's really hard to quit, so it's best not to smoke in the first place. And now that the audience is also pro-smoking, you should not challenge them. ”

"Good. ”

Huang Sanshi's study is quite large, and there are a lot of books. He himself is a literary and artistic youth, and he even has to be the first one. Whether it is Xu Zhimo or Rong Yaohui in "Orange is Red", they are all literary and artistic male gods of the post-80s generation.

"Do it. Huang Sanshi handed him a glass of water: "You are a student of Chinese opera, you must be able to write the script." However, write sketches and dramas a little more, and write movie scripts less. In fact, the important thing is the content.,The core thing of a book.,It's what it's going to say.,And then it's how to say.,Lines,Situation,Situation...... For example......

Ji Ming took a notebook and memorized it, and used a French word on the cover - notes. He has been learning French, after all, the koi fish have made a wish and learns very quickly.

And Huang Sanshi has been a teacher for so many years, and he is completely familiar with this scene - Ji Ming suspects that if he doesn't write it down in a notebook, Lao Huang may be angry behind his back. This kid, fake modest, is actually not a good thing.

Quite possibly.

It is true that there are many Taos in every line, and Ji Ming has benefited a lot.

After Huang Sanshi finished speaking, Ji Ming also said his thoughts.

"Well, this theme is still very interesting, and if you put the elements of dance into it, you will definitely be more artistic. Huang Sanshi's fingers tapped on the table: "But this idea is definitely not good, what style do you plan to take in the whole movie, is it suspenseful, such as "Black Swan", or narrative." Is the undertone realistic or surreal...... Wait, you have to think about it. ”

Ji Ming pondered for a while: "I think the whole play is actually in the protagonist's mind, that is, what he is thinking about when he is lying on the hospital bed-the dance accident happened, and in reality he has been lying down, half dead." But in his head, he woke up, and then he realized that 5 years had passed, many things had become strange, his hair had grown, he had dressed more maturely, and he looked a little older...... Of course, there were some newcomers in the company, and he needed to work with them, and when he started dancing again, he found that he didn't have muscle atrophy or loss of inspiration because he had been lying down for 5 years, and he was dancing even better than he was 5 years ago...... He was chosen to do a solo dance, a dance about 'struggling' between dreams and reality, and in the course of practicing in the dance room, he kept discovering signs such as the electronic clock in this remote dance studio, which showed the time when he had an accident - but it had always had electricity, such as when he began to realize that he was not really old, and when he shaved off his stubble and cut his hair short, he found that it was no different from 5 years......

He began to doubt, he began to struggle within, and as this emotion deepened, his interpretation of the dance became more and more successful and amazingβ€”a silent cry that told him the truth......

Finally, when the dance was performed, while dancing, he found that the audience began to change back to the audience on the day of his accident, and the new actors in the backstage disappeared inexplicably, but the old actors seemed to be unaware - the more frightened he became, the better he danced, and the applause became more and more enthusiastic......

After the dance, I hope for a lightning, thunderbolt-like ending, or after everything is in the ultimate silence, and then there is a narration: Are the family sure they want to give up the treatment? And then the lights start from below and go up, and finally freeze on his face, and fall into complete darkness. ”

After Ji Ming said it, he realized that he actually had such a specific idea.

Originally, he thought that this thing was still in the stage of thinking, but now when he really began to explain, he found that the story seemed to have been deduced into a world in his mind, what it was like, what was happening in it, and the joys and sorrows of the characters in it seemed to be able to feel it.

The more Huang Sanshi listened, the more silent he became.

Even close your eyes at the end.

He is not just thinking about this story, but thinking about the picture, he has a lot of pictures of classic movies in his head, such as the pointe dance in "Lichun", such as the black swan in "Black Swan...... In these pictures, the people all become Ji Ming, dancing the dance he described.

Light and dark, composition, near and far......

"Ahh ”

"Huh?"

"It's mature. Huang Sanshi looked at Ji Ming with emotion, he was really a different age, he was busy writing parent-child dramas and paying attention to the reality of youth. Ji Ming is running wild on the road of art films, if this film is done well, there is really a lot of room for imagination: "Then you are difficult." ”

"Do you mean dance?"

"It's not just dance, dance and performance, if this play is to be done well, it must be extremely compatible, when you dance, you are acting, and when you act, you must actually have the soul of dance, because in fact, your setting, in a certain aspect, the protagonist is actually because of his obsession with dance, so he has created such a world, a bubble. For him, one is the world of dance, and even walking is artistic, and it is unconventional. Huang Sanshi slowly said his opinion: "But dancing is indeed a difficult problem, I know you can dance, but is the level enough? ”

"Learn. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ There is a bold color. Huang Sanshi was also speechless, but thinking about Ji Ming's achievements in vocal music, it seems that it is really not impossible: "In fact, some parts can also find a stand-in to help, and sometimes find a stand-in, but also to make the play have greater tension, otherwise this kind of theme requires special skills, you may not be able to reach the level, and it will limit the entire narrative, I think it is more than worth the loss." There is no need to have a cleanliness habit for this thing, as long as you don't abuse it, like some people now, it doesn't matter. Hollywood, Europe, people also use a lot of stand-ins. ”

Ji Ming nodded and was taught.

"The other thing is, haha, this is your problem, are you going to direct it yourself?"

"Nope. ”

"I think so, then it's really not easy for you to find a suitable director. Huang Sanshi pondered for a while: "At this time, you made me think that I can only think of one person, and it may not be really completely suitable." ”

"Lou Ye!"

"Lou Ye!"

Unison.

This sixth-generation leader is indeed one of the most suitable directors.

"But I have some doubts, of course, it is based on being able to invite you," Ji Ming hesitated, but still said to Huang Sanshi: "Director Lou is a particularly energetic director, I am more worried that this film will eventually become another look that belongs to him, if that is not the ...... in my mind I may not be able to accept it. ”

A strong director and a strong actor, especially the book is written by an actor.

It's a question of who will lead the way.

Ji Ming actually doesn't insist on leading, but he can't agree with this story either, and in the end it's unrecognizable - the director can create it himself, but if the two sides have irreconcilable contradictions about the final appearance of the story, or even go in opposite directions, then no matter how skilled the director is, how talented he is, and how suitable he is, Ji Ming doesn't want it.

"Indeed, it's a little early to think about this, Lou Ye has been busy recently, and the filming of "Lanxin Theater" is finished, but there must be many things in the future, whether he is willing to shoot or not, not necessarily. Huang Sanshi sighed: "The other one, you may not be familiar with, is a teacher at the Film Academy, chapter name." ”

"Ah, I know, I had a relationship in Cannes before. ”

Huang Sanshi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "By the way, his "Pluto Moment" was shortlisted for the director's fortnight, right?

"I've got. ”

Looking at Ji Ming's handsome face that was indescribable, Huang Sanshi laughed: "Don't you feel at ease?" Zhang Ming is a director who is a bit academic, and people outside say that he is extremely mysterious. If you're going to make an art film with a high degree of completion, frankly speaking, it's risky to let him shoot it, and it may not be able to do it well. So I don't think he's really a good fit. ”

"What about Wen Yan? ”

"She, you've worked together, and you're so successful, you should have your own answer. Huang Sanshi is indeed a human spirit: "If you really think she is suitable, I'm afraid you won't come to ask me, you must still have some doubts in your heart, right?"

Ji Ming smiled, he didn't think Wen Yan was bad, the key was that it might not be suitable, and after this sister finished filming "Immortals", she was somewhat interested in naturalism, Ji Ming's new drama really has nothing to do with naturalism, and people may not be willing.

"Well, okay, go back and think about it, I'll save the script first. ”

"That's fine. ”

When the two of them finished chatting, they found out that Teacher Sun and the child had returned. Ji Mingte was embarrassed and apologized again and again: "Why don't I find Sister Sun to play a role?" Mr. Huang, don't stop you." ”

"As long as she agrees, I won't stand in my way. ”

said this, if what Ji Ming said just now was a bad script, he would have to remind Sun Li when he turned around.

"Haha, that's okay, wait until I finish writing the script to see if there is a suitable one, and then I'll come to Sister Sun. ”

Sun Li really has the temperament and laughs for a while: "You are so involved in talking about the script, you Teacher Huang haven't had this experience for a long time." ”

"Okay, I won't disturb you eating, I'll go back first. ”

The car outside was probably still waiting, and I didn't know if Tang Fan was in a hurry, so he didn't call anyway.

"Hey, stay and eat, I'm going grocery shopping. ”

Huang Sanshi also began to roll up his sleeves: "This will be done immediately, it won't take long." ”

"Next time, there's a chance. The staff is still waiting for me, and he will have to leave work to send me back. After Ji Ming refused, he took his notebook and left, but there was still no movement at Teacher Lu's house opposite, and his wife didn't seem to be at home.

……

After mid-May, Ji Ming's life began to be extremely fulfilling.

In addition to fully devoting himself to the rehearsal of "The Last Emperor", the script in his hand, tentatively named "Struggle", really wants to write it, it is far from being as simple as talking about it at the beginning, there are too many details, and some hints, some metaphors, and some responses that he wants to put in, all need to be polished.

In addition to these two major events, there are also some social activities from time to time, such as the work of the fire ambassador, such as the on-site activities of the Fei family, and the design work of the "Mingming" brand, and some simple money-making business activities, which fill his remaining time.

It wasn't until the Montreal Film Festival's Chinese film selectors came to China that Ji Ming found time to meet the Canadian Quebec native - he speaks French. In more than half a month, Ji Ming's French can already communicate simply, and koi is so unreasonable.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I was amazed at how fluent you are in French. "Ripper, a Chinese film selector in Montreal, knows a little Chinese.

"I'm waiting for you. ”

Even though it's a lie, it's still very cool.

Last year, it was also Ripper who chose "God of Medicine" to enter the main competition at the last time, but unfortunately he didn't get anything in the end. This time back, apparently, it was because of "Immortals". Everyone has a tacit understanding that films that have won the Cannes award generally do not go to other A-category film festivals. But "Immortals" first prepared for the Montreal itinerary in advance because he didn't expect to be able to gain something in Cannes...... Ripper insisted on inviting them to continue competing.

The release time of "Encountering Immortals" has been preliminarily determined, and it will be distributed by old friends Beijing Culture and Xitian Film and Television, tentatively scheduled on the last Friday of August, stepping on the tail of the summer file. In this way, according to the time, it will be released almost at the time when the results are released in Montreal.

If there is a harvest, it will also be another wave of box office stimulus - Penguin and Xitian, which will definitely promote this matter.

That's it.

Seeing off Ruipo with Wen Yan, she turned her head to look at Ji Ming and smiled: "This time I have confidence, I really believe it, and I am especially looking forward to you getting your first actor." ”

"Make a wish successfully!"
