Chapter 265: Script Discussion
The script for "Hello, Mr. Tree" was eventually sold to a film and television company.
In the final analysis, it is still a peer, as long as the price is not outrageously low, it is better to help each other with peers.
After all, they may all be their own customers in the future.
In the end, the script of the movie was sold for 100,000 yuan, plus the bonus for the script to win the award, this time when he came to Yanjing, Chen Xiao had a total of +145,000 money.
But this is all pre-tax, and there is still a tax.
Chen Xiao is also atmospheric now, and he earned hundreds of thousands of dollars after running back and forth, but he didn't make any waves in his heart.
Then, he began to use the money to treat guests to dinner.
Chen Xiao originally wanted to find a better place, and he himself was not short of the money, but Jiang Suping said that he preferred to eat in a small restaurant, so it became a small restaurant.
Bang~
Lin Jiang touched Chen Xiao with a wine glass: "Chen Xiao, I didn't see it, you are quite bullish, even Chairman Yan dares to refuse." ”
Jiang Suping said: "What's wrong with Chairman Yan? It's all two eyes and one mouth, why can't you refuse." ”
Then he said: "But Yan Yongliang's people are still very good, and he won't take this little thing to heart." ”
Chen Xiao said honestly: "I, I'm short of money now, and now it's really difficult for me to take out tens of millions to invest in literary films." ”
Lin Jiang said approvingly: "Literary films just can't make money, but I've been studying how to combine literary films with commercial films, so as to find a way out for literary films, but the results have not been very good." ”
Chen Xiao smiled: "This is why you were given 'underground' by the Bureau of Optoelectronics?"
Chen Xiao felt that Lin Jiang's idea was very interesting and formal, but the number of roads was too wild, who could stand it?
Lin Jiang waved his hand: "The heroes don't mention the courage of the year. ”
At the dinner table, Chen Xiao and Lin Jiang slowly became familiar with each other.
Although there is a difference in age, the personalities of the two people are more active, which is quite talkative.
Later, when the two talked about the script, Jiang Suping was also interested.
Jiang Suping said: "Chen Xiao, I am writing a script recently, called "Life", which is a story about *** and the ***** period as the background, and now I have written a lot of things, but it is not satisfactory enough, I will tell you about it, you can help me refer to it." ”
Originally, it was actually quite inappropriate to ask a junior about this kind of script, but when I thought of the two literary scripts written by Chen Xiao, they were not bad.
The communication when I bought the script before was also quite pleasant, so Jiang Suping was still willing to listen to Chen Xiao's opinions.
After all, the script is a thing, and it still needs to be communicated.
Otherwise, a person working behind closed doors is not only inefficient, but also often unable to write something that he is satisfied with.
However, Chen Xiao was a little surprised after hearing the subject.
?
?
Chen Xiao looked at Lin Jiang, and then asked, "Are you sure you can get a shooting permit?"
Lin Jiang was immediately unhappy: "The movie he wrote, why are you watching me?"
Chen Xiao thought to himself, it's not that you have made this kind of movie before, and you did it before you got a shooting permit.
Jiang Suping smiled: "Don't worry, I have said hello, as long as you grasp a degree." ”
Lin Jiang snorted twice, feeling a great unfairness.
You're old, you're awesome.
Chen Xiao said: "Although I may not be able to help much, I still have some insights on the movie, and I may be able to really help you refer to it." ”
Of course, you can also learn about it when you refer to it.
If you want to elaborate on a script, you first have to talk about your creative ideas and the techniques you plan to use during filming.
And what difficulties were encountered in the creation of the script, and then how to solve them.
Since Jiang Suping wants Chen Xiao to help conceive it, then these things must be talked about, otherwise the plot written will not match the theme.
Well, this is a valuable learning opportunity.
No matter how others teach, what can compare to the personal experience of a veteran creator?
Then, Jiang Suping talked about it little by little, and also talked about some sources of inspiration and the like.
Lin Jiang also listened quietly, and he also had a lot of research on the script.
Jiang Suping has been writing the script of "Life" intermittently for more than half a year, and even when filming "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix", he did not stop the idea of this movie.
Even the scenes with short shots and long shots for the scenes were all figured out.
Now wait for the script to be perfected.
With Jiang Suping's narration and the script, one by one fresh lives appeared in front of Chen Xiao's eyes.
"Life" is a Chinese-style black humor film, and it is also a film that spans a long era, telling the story of a person's life.
Through the experience of a person's life, this script is set in that period, covering the pain of life that people's fate in history is beyond their control, and derives a bitter smile about death.
And this movie also continues the rhythm of the dark and depressive wind, which is very miserable.
And through this script, Chen Xiao seems to have seen a "Alive" in his previous life.
, his wife, who never gave up on wealth and wealth, finally died, his lovely daughter died, and his relatives left him one by one.
In the end, he was the only one left and an old cow to rely on for his life.
But he himself was strong enough to survive.
Even those who read this book have a question, that is, why did he still live?
Maybe it's really not as happy as dying, right?
And this is also an adaptation of the movie, and this movie of the same name is also considered by many people to be Zhang Yimou's pinnacle work.
The adaptation of the movie is undoubtedly very depressive for those who have not seen it, but in the eyes of those who have seen it, it is too mild.
Now Jiang Suping's script, in Chen Xiao's opinion, is like "Alive", and the plot is similar, but it is too gloomy and there is no hope in sight.
So Chen Xiao put forward his own suggestion: "I think it's better to live for the sake of living, than to live for a better life, such as Youqing...... Ah no, just like Jiahua, that little son, has experienced poverty since he was born.
He likes to run, his shoes are often worn out, and he is blamed, so he goes to school barefoot in the winter in order to keep them safe. Later, when I heard that I was going to donate blood, I was the first to run to the hospital, but I didn't expect to be sucked to death by a live blood draw. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Xiao paused for a moment and continued: "There is also a way to celebrate death, but this way is too cruel, the movie has already reached the late stage here, and there is no hope in sight, such a plot will be more depressing, it is better to replace it with an accidental death, it will be more pleasant." ”
Lin Jiang also said: "Listening to your script, I can't even eat now." ”
Jiang Suping took a small notebook and wrote down a few strokes, and then said: "It can't be changed here, this is specially designed by me, but I also understand what you mean, I just want to leave a little hope at the end of the movie, which is okay, I wasn't depressed specifically for the sake of depression, but the plot in the back can be changed a little." ”
Come on, people have their own ideas, and other people's are references.
Chen Xiao can't control this, and there is no way to manage it.
Chen Xiao said: "At least one living person must be left, otherwise it is estimated that no one will be able to endure it to the end." ”
Jiang Suping thought for a while and said: "I have an idea about this, but my son's generation will definitely not be able to stay, so I can only leave a grandson, and finally raise a chicken or something." ”
At this time, Chen Xiao thought of some scenes in "Alive" again.
Then he said, "When the chicken grows up, it becomes a goose, when the goose grows up, it becomes a sheep, and when the sheep grows up, it becomes a cow, and when the cow grows up, it becomes ......."
Jiang Suping's eyes lit up, and he quickly wrote it down: "This is good, this is hope." ”
