Chapter 271: Embroidered Spring Knife
As a director, there is no one who is good-looking, and this is the unchanging iron rule of the director circle.
Lu Yang is no exception.
This guy has a boxy face and a boxy figure, and he looks like a poker.
But it's quite a dream.
He used to be a purebred science and engineering man, but then he couldn't let go of his dream of making movies, so he resigned and was admitted to Nortel's directing department for a master's degree.
In 10 years, at the age of 30, he relied on a "Blind Cinema" and won the Golden Rooster Best Director Debut Award, which can be regarded as an explanation for himself.
In the same year, he wrote a script "Embroidered Spring Knife", but no one was willing to invest.
The reason is very simple, the cost of "Cinema for the Blind" is only 1.7 million, and "Embroidered Spring Knife" has to start at least 30 million, how can any investor be willing to take this risk.
Until he met Zhou Jin's gang.
After returning to the good monkey, Ning Hao took 300G seeds into the viewing room and sneaked into it alone.
Zhou Jin pulled Lu Yang and found a conference room, planning to polish the script with him again.
It is said to be polishing, but in fact, it is abuse.
Zhou Jin is already very skilled in this kind of work.
"I think the love between Zhou Miaotong and Shen Lian came too easily?"
Zhou Jin opened his small notebook and said, "Shen Lian, Zhou Miaotong's family was ruined, and he sent her to be a prostitute, how could she fall in love so easily." ”
Lu Yang looked a little wooden, but his idea was very right, "Well, in fact, I am writing about people, not just the love between men and women." ”
"How?"
It's that the protagonist falls in love with a woman, but this woman hates him, and then she still loves someone else in her heart, so helpless. ”
Zhou Jin raised his eyebrows, "So, what's going on with Jin Yichuan and Zhang Yan?"
Lu Yang continued to explain, "He wants to be a brocade guard, but the identity of a thief has always haunted him, even if he finds love, he can't get it in the end, which is probably what it means." ”
"Tsk, big brother, do you have a girlfriend?"
"I'm busy making movies, not yet," Lu Yang smiled embarrassedly.
"I guess so," Zhou Jin wondered if this buddy was from a big FFF group, brotherhood was much better portrayed than love.
"If you say that, then the boss Lu Jianxing means that he wants to be promoted, but he can't be promoted?"
"Almost, it's all asking for it, I designed these three characters first, and then I have the story. ”
Zhou Jin nodded silently, and after chatting like this, his understanding of "Embroidered Spring Knife" was much deeper.
In the final analysis, it is still a satire of the past and the present, martial arts is just a skin, expressing the tragic life of modern ordinary people.
And this kind of tragedy is not caused by coincidence or death, it is completely caused by the background of the story, or the social environment.
No matter how Shen Lian and these three guys jumped, they couldn't escape the final ending.
"I probably understand your train of thought, that is, there is one, why is Ding Xiu's character line broken?"
The final ending on the script is that Shen Lian took Zhou Miaotong and Zhang Yan south to Gusu, met Zhao Gonggong on the way, and then the two sides fought, and Ding Xiu did not appear at all.
This is completely two endings with "Embroidered Spring Knife" in Zhou Jin's impression.
"I want to portray the three brothers, Ding Xiu has completed his mission," Lu Yang explained, and was a little apprehensive, "Isn't this a little less tense? Will it affect the box office?"
In the face of an investment of 30 million, he was embarrassed to let the investor lose money, and it didn't matter if he changed the plot or something.
This point is much stronger than Jiang Wen's pit goods.
Zhou Jin flipped through the script and said with a smile: "Actually, I'm not worried about the box office, I just think the role of Ding Xiu is very interesting and moist." ”
It is estimated that Lu Yang himself couldn't have imagined that after a few years, the impression left by "Embroidered Spring Knife" on everyone was the sentence "very moist".
"Heh," Lu Yang also laughed, "Then I'll go back and revise it, and let Ding Xiu appear for revenge, by the way, the actor's business ......"
"Do you have a choice for yourself?"
"When I was filming "Cinema for the Blind", I worked with Mr. Jin Shijie and Zhou Yiwei, and I wanted to invite them over this time. ”
Needless to say, Jin Shijie is a top veteran actor, and what he plays is what he is.
Zhou Yiwei's acting skills are still a little bit good, he belongs to the outgoing type, and he can't play too restrained roles, but he is very compatible with Ding Xiu.
These two are all members of the original team, and Zhou Jin has no opinion, "In addition to the two of them, I will recommend one more to you, do you want to?"
"Who?"
"Zhang Yi. ”
......
The imperial capital Houhai, a certain alley.
Liu Sisi hugged a girl in one hand and grabbed ice cream in the other, chirping and nibbling.
"Sister Sisi, let's find a place to sit for a while," the sister's name is Ye Qing, who plays Yutan in "Step by Step", and Ruoxi are good sisters.
After the play, the two still kept in touch, and Liu Sisi saw that she was so soft and cute, so she simply took her into a harem, and then took her to the bar.
The two of them wandered around here for an afternoon, and Ye Qing was already tired.
"Yes, that's it," Liu Sisi spotted a music bar called Snail, and hugged her sister in quite arrogantly.
Compared with the noise of the bar, the music bar will be more pure, you can listen to music, chat and relax, and you don't need to be as happy as crazy.
The two girls found a place to sit down, and Liu Sisi looked at the bar scene curiously.
"Sister Sisi, have you ever been in a bar with Eighth Master before?" Ye Qing asked with a grin as she nibbled on ice cream.
"Don't mention him to me," Liu Sisi said angrily: "He's now plunging into the script and making a movie again." ”
"Really, speaking of which, we haven't filmed for more than half a year, and it's normal for him to take on a movie. ”
"Phew, he's already finished filming two films, and now he's taking on the third one. ”
"It's only been more than half a year, tsk, the eighth master is really powerful......" Ye Qing couldn't help but speak.
Compared with the hard-working Zhou Jinyi, the two of them are simply two slow snails.
"I'm going to climb up one step at a time...... A small day has big dreams......" The resident singer in the bar sang this old song very appropriately.
"Hello, what would you like to drink?" said a waiter.
"emm, you want this," Liu Sisi flipped through the menu and ordered a cocktail.
The waiter smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, we're sold out of this." ”
"Sold out? No, it's only afternoon. ”
"Well, our bar's lease is almost up, and it's about to close now, so ......" the waiter gestured to the announcement posted on the bar.
"No wonder, I said why are there so few people, is your business not good?"
There are hundreds of bars in Houhai, and it is common for them to close down and newly opened.
The waiter obviously didn't want to discuss the topic and smiled, "We have some coffee and petit fours, do you need them?"
"Have a cake, okay, bring me a portion of the same," Ye Qing said with a smile.
"Okay, then please wait. ”
The waiter went to the bar to get the cake, Liu Sisi leaned forward and whispered, "Qingqing, how about you say I also open a bar here?"
"Huh, Sister Sisi, do you want to run a bar?"
"That's not it, you can hire someone else to run it. ”
"Oh, that's okay, we can come and eat cake later. ”
"You can also drink wine and eat lamb skewers," Liu Sisi's eyes lit up, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
She looked at the snail bar again, but her mentality was completely different.
Snail?
It's not good, it's still a little domineering.
The color of the decoration is not good-looking, why not change it to pink or red?
Tables and chairs need to be replaced, and the bar counter needs to be replaced...... The most important thing is that the boss has to change.
At this moment, Liu Sisi even conceived the future appearance of the bar.
Now it's a short of money.
Then Liu Sisi took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhou Jin's phone vigorously.
