In order to participate in today's Yenching Film Festival, Xiao Qi wore a dress specially designed for her, with red as the main color, a corset, and black butterfly-style decorations and patterns on it, which is very in line with her identity as the lead singer of black butterflies.

This dress is gorgeous but not gaudy, which is very suitable for Xiao Qi's identity, and adds a few mature and sexy beauty to the beautiful Xiao Qi. The design of this dress is still relatively conservative, with no leaky back and thighs, compared to those stars who wear less at the film festival, Xiao Qi is much more traditional. Even the neckline is relatively high, and from the front, you can only faintly see a little whiteness and softness, but from Ye Zheng's point of view, you can see more.

Now Xiao Qi is no longer the fledgling little girl, she has grown rapidly for more than two years, she has become an internationally renowned singer, active on the big stage at home and abroad. Naturally, he gradually developed an extraordinary temperament. And only in front of Ye Zheng and a few other people, she will be like a twenty-year-old girl. "Eh, what happened to this little dragon girl by Yin Zhiping?" Xiao Qi sighed: "This is really a failure, I said what do you think, such a clear and jade little dragon girl has such a big stain? Can those readers of yours be happy to read it?"

"When this chapter was updated, there were 20,000 more reviews on the same day. Ye Zheng said helplessly: "The evaluation score of the previous book is as high as 9.7 points, and this one, now it is only 8.5 points, all because of this plot." ”

In this regard, Ye Zheng was also entangled for a long time at the beginning, in fact, he could have handled the plot and let Xiaolongnu have a clear and jade body, but in the end he decided to respect the original work of Jin Yong's predecessors and did not adapt this plot.

Regarding the matter of Xiaolongnu, there was also controversy in the previous life, many people thought that this was a failure, and some even said that it was Jin Yong's century trauma. What a pure little dragon girl, beautiful and unparalleled in the world, she was raped...... How can this be endured? Just thinking about it is a pain in my heart. It's to substitute yourself, but who likes to be a cuckold man!

However, many people also say that Jin Yong's arrangement just shows the maturity of his ideological realm. In life, there is not so much perfection. The role of Xiaolongnu is already a collection of thousands of advantages, and it is not an exaggeration to have some flaws. Anyway, when Xiaolongnu was killed like that, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu had not yet confirmed their relationship. And in fact, if you think about your previous life, with the popularity of TV series, the image of Xiaolongnu is still a pure fairy incarnation in everyone's hearts. Although her body has been defiled, it is still spotless from the inside out.

And Ye Zheng has no way to decide everyone's concept, but he has not changed the plot, on the one hand, he respects the original work, and on the other hand, he himself is more inclined to the original plot. Probably most mature people can understand that there are really no flawless people in this world, you and I are the same, and the same is true of the little dragon girl. "But that's okay, you don't have to cater to the reader right now, and I think this kind of plot arrangement is actually more perfect. What is perfection, imperfection is perfection, if it is too perfect, it is not perfect. Xiao Qi said.

She was right, Ye Zheng really didn't need to change the plot to please some readers because of this. The so-called public mouth is difficult to reconcile, and Ye Zheng's current "realm" is no longer just writing cool articles. A master must have the courage of a master. "Are you talking about tongue twisters?" Ye Zheng said. "That's it. Xiao Qi said, and suddenly found that from Ye Zheng's point of view, she could see the scenery of her chest smoothly, her face turned slightly red, she smiled at Ye Zheng and asked, "Is it good-looking?"

"What?" Ye Zheng was stunned, looked at Xiao Qi's expression and eyes, and suddenly understood what was going on, so he teased: "Aha, it's okay, but the white ones are not suitable for your clothes today, I think red and pink should be more suitable." ”

"Then the awards party is over, you go buy it for me! I'll wear it for you!" Xiao Qi said and straightened up, and asked with a little pride: "How is Bijiajia's? Is it more beautiful?" Ye Zheng said in his heart This is true, Lin Yujia's skin quality is not too good, and he grew up in the countryside and often did farm work, so his complexion is not white and tender. And Xiao Qi's family background is not bad, and she is naturally beautiful, although she does not take care of it very deliberately, she also has a good skin that countless artists envy.

"Ahem, sit down. Ye Zheng said, pointing to Du Yan in front of him: "I was heard." "Ye Dong, I didn't hear anything!" Du Yantou said without replying. "Ahem, cough, cough......" Ye Zheng coughed non-stop, and it took him a long time to ease up, and he said helplessly: "Very good, very good...... There is no doubt about Du Yan's work attitude, but his temperament is a little too straight, and it is a little bit second, there is really no way. Xiao Qi stuck out her tongue mischievously, without the slightest embarrassment, she was a likable character, and she was very compatible with Du Yan. So much so that Du Yan always felt that Ye Zheng and Lin Yujia were together, so it was better to choose Xiao Qi. So Xiao Qi also dared to laugh in the car unscrupulously, Du Yan was towards her.

Huaxia TV is about to arrive, Ye Zheng looked at the time, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the awards party started at seven o'clock in the evening, and he was not in a hurry, he was watching, Qian Xiaoyu, manager of the film and television department of China Television, called, and a smile appeared on the corner of Ye Zheng's mouth: "It seems that this manager Qian has still made a decision, I hope he will agree to my proposal." ”

Half a month ago, Ye Zheng took out the script of "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" and handed it to Qian Xiaoyu, proposing a plan for the cooperation between Time and Space Film and Television and China Television. However, it is different from "Soldier Assault" and "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", in which the space-time group accounts for a small part of the investment. The investment of Time and Space Film and Television will account for 60% of this TV series and 55% of the equity of this TV series. The painstaking matter was handed over to China Television, so Time and Space Film and Television gave up 5% of the shares.

Such a proposal, Huashi did not open his mouth to agree, although they knew that Ye Zheng came up with a very good script, but they still felt that the conditions proposed by Time and Space Film and Television were a little harsh. After all, it takes a lot of effort to shoot and produce a TV series.

And even if it is 55%, it shows that Time and Space Film and Television has the right to decide this TV series. For example, during filming, there were disputes in the selection of actors, the handling of the plot, etc., and time and space film and television had the right to decide. Not only does they have no right to decide, but they also have to honestly listen to the orders of Time and Space Film and Television, and work hard. Therefore, some people in China Television are not happy. However, Ye Zheng is very calm, and the conditions will never be relaxed.

and pointed out the value of this script, and Ye Zheng made a package ticket, after the filming of this TV series is completed, the sales price of TV stations and online rights for each episode will definitely not be less than three million, and the pressure of four million is not too big. This guarantee ticket is a bit of a boast. Although the sales price of excellent TV series has reached five or six million per episode, the highest price has reached seven and two million. But this is only a tiny minority. The annual sales price exceeds three million per episode, and there are only three or five parts. Four or five million are only one or two. The price of most TV dramas is in the tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Ye Zheng's confidence is inevitably too strong.

"Let's think about it again. Qian Xiaoyu said this to Ye Zheng at the time. Ye Zheng said with a smile: "Then you think about it quickly, I believe that there must be many TV stations interested in this script, and even I can get 20% of the shares with just one script, even if I sell it, I can buy more than 200,000 yuan per episode." But after all, it is still your Huashi who has strong strength and rich experience, and we have a foundation for cooperation, so we give priority to you. In fact, you guys have already taken advantage of it, and I am a first-class screenwriter now, and I don't even count the script money!"

Half a month has passed, and China Television's reply is finally coming. "We agree with your proposal to bring this TV series to the agenda as soon as possible, and may we have a happy cooperation. Qian Xiaoyu said on the phone. Ye Zheng also smiled: "Happy cooperation!" He knew that Huashi would definitely not give up this TV series, in the "Secret History of Xiaozhuang" lounge, in the room, Cang Shuiyue and several important personnel such as cameramen and editors from the crew had arrived, but Luo Yunqian had not yet arrived.

Ye Zheng saw that there was a more unexpected person in the room, who turned out to be a famous director in Taiwan, Wu Menglong, the director of the work "No Soldiers in the World". At this time, Wu Menglong was chatting with Cangshuiyue and them, Ye Zheng came in, Wu Menglong quickly stood up, smiled and shook hands with Ye Zheng. "Hello Ye Dong, I'm Wu Menglong. "Hello, Director Wu, look up for a long time!" Ye Zheng said with a smile, this sentence is not just polite, Wu Menglong's name, he has indeed admired it for a long time.

has been a director for ten years, and Wu Menglong, who is now less than 40 years old, has won the Golden Horse Award for Best Director once, the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Director, and two nominations for Best Director at international first-class film festivals. It can be said that he is famous in Chinese films and is also quite famous in the director world all over the world. This is a very talented director, he was an actor for a few years when he was young, made a few bad movies, and felt that acting was boring, but filming was interesting, so he raised five million funds to make a movie, and he alone not only served as a director, but also served as an editor and post-production.

And it was that low-budget film that made him get the best director nomination and the best editing award at an international first-class film festival, and became famous in one fell swoop! In the following years, he shot a total of six films, all of which were very good, won many awards, and also won several stars. If we talk about the box office, his highest-grossing film has also achieved a good result of 700 million in China and 3.2 billion in the world. And what Ye Zheng particularly likes about him is that the characteristics of his movies are very similar to a famous director in his previous life: Wong Kar-wai.

Wong Kar-wai's film style is undoubtedly unique, he is accustomed to using a unique image language to show a certain highly abstract state of existence of people in the modern city, the kind of world without purpose, somewhat absurd, full of a sense of fatalism, he is good at creating a state, through a specific atmosphere, color, language style, actors' body movements, environment, etc.

This style narrates a feeling of urban alienation, a nostalgia for the past, and a variation from multiple perspectives. and an atmosphere of struggle, escape, wandering, and abstraction that wants to communicate with each other. And Wu Menglong's film style is different from Wong Kar-wai, he also likes to use some Wong Kar-wai-style ways, but in this regard, it is not as incisive as Wong Kar-wai does. In particular, Wong Kar-wai's language style, the kind of poetry that looks like aphorisms and drifts away, is full of literary and philosophical flavors.

These things can also be found in Wu Menglong's films, but it can be seen that this is what he is looking for but has not yet reached that height. But even to the extent that he has already achieved is already very popular, and his style is slowly taking shape, and it is not impossible to reach the heights of Wong Kar-wai in the future. And of course, every director has each director's specialty, and some of the favorite features in Wu Menglong's movies are also not found in Wong Kar-wai's films.

Film is the art of the director, and the style of a movie basically lies in the director, the same script, different directors can shoot different feelings. is like "Journey to the West", if it weren't for Ye Zheng staring, Ye Zheng wouldn't dare to guarantee what Cangshuiyue would make the movie look like. Ye Zheng admired Wu Menglong very much, and he had long had the idea of cooperating with him, and originally planned to talk to him during the film festival, but Wu Menglong had something to do a few days ago, and he only arrived in Yanjing today.

Ye Zheng thought about looking for him at the awards party again, but he didn't expect Wu Menglong to appear in their lounge. "I came here to look for you, I want to talk to you about the movie "Suzhou River", some time ago I heard a friend recommend it, only to know that there is such a movie, so I watched it. And then I just fell in love with it. Wu Menglong said: "I am very inspired by the shooting techniques and style of this film. ”

Ye Zheng smiled slightly, he was not surprised by Wu Menglong's words, when Lou Ye made the movie "Suzhou River", everyone said that this movie was very "Wong Kar-wai", and the style was very similar to Wong Kar-wai, and Wu Menglong was also in this style, so he would naturally be inspired. "As you know, this style is very similar to mine, so I was as excited and happy as if I had met my family. Then I met Director Hong the other day and talked to him about this style. Wu Menglong continued: "There is a harvest! However, Director Hong said that this film was actually filmed under your guidance, in which the use of lens light, including post-editing and production, is controlled by you. He told me that if I came to talk to you, it would definitely be very beneficial. ”

He smiled and said, "So I came uninvited." "I see. Ye Zheng said with a smile. "Hmm. Wu Menglong nodded: "Speaking of the editing of this movie, after analyzing it with the editors of our crew, I am really amazed by practice, in the movies of the past few years, in terms of editing skills, there is no one who can surpass this movie! Especially the opening paragraph is too ingenious!" Ye Zheng nodded lightly, the editing of "Suzhou River" is indeed superb, so that some netizens in the previous life sighed: "More than ten years have passed, and no one has been able to beat the editing of the opening of Suzhou Creek." ”

"I've heard of your name for a long time, and it's not an exaggeration to describe it like thunder, but when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation, and it was a dragon and phoenix among people!" Wu Menglong looked at Ye Zheng carefully and exclaimed.

Ye Zheng said politely: "Mr. Wu has won the award, I am just a junior, and there are still many places to learn from Mr. Wu's predecessors, and I also highly respect Mr. Wu's movies." If I have the chance, I really want to cooperate with Mr. Wu!" "I also have this intention, there are still many places I want to ask you about the filming of the movie!" Wu Menglong said.

"Don't dare to be. Wu Menglong shook his head lightly: "Originally, I had a limited understanding of you, and I just thought that your script was very well written, but when I saw "Suzhou River" and stopped Director Hong's words, I came to you with great emotion, thinking that you and I probably have the same movie concept." But I chatted with Director Cang for a while just now, and I realized that you actually participated in the filming of "Journey to the West", and I just watched this movie today, which is completely different from "Suzhou River", which shows that your style and concept of the movie are diverse......"

He sighed softly: "It's really amazing, it can be seen from "Suzhou River" and "Journey to the West" that your grasp of these two styles has reached a fairly mature level, it's too hard to imagine, how can a person master two styles that are so different at the same time, not to mention how old you are......" Xiao Qi chuckled on the side: "If Mr. Wu understands his achievements in music, he must not be too emotional, these are all trivial matters." ”

"That's right. Cangshuiyue also smiled lightly, she had been in contact with Ye Zheng for a year, and she was also impressed by the talent of this little boss. For example, this "Journey to the West", if she is allowed to shoot it herself, she will definitely not be able to shoot this effect. During the filming process, she also had disputes with Ye Zheng because of some places, but most of the time, it was Ye Zheng who persuaded her. And she had to admit again and again that Ye Zheng's method was better than she thought.

Wu Menglong was stunned, and then suddenly, the person in front of him was a ghost, his musical talent spanned ancient and modern, and he mastered various types and styles of music skillfully in his hands...... He is a creator who does not stick to a specific style. If that's true for music, why can't it be true for movies?

But think about it again, you are already so unreasonable in terms of music, how can you be unreasonable in terms of movies? This is too unreasonable, right? However, Ye Zheng touched his nose and agreed with Xiao Qi's words: "What Xiao Qi said is right, in fact, Mr. Wu, I have just stepped into the film and television industry, and in the future, I am afraid that there will be many different types and styles of movies and TV series to come out!"

"This, uh, okay!" Wu Menglong said helplessly: "Then I look forward to you also bringing a storm to the film and television industry, these years, high-quality movies seem to be getting more and more difficult to produce, everyone is waiting to see good movies! "What's your idea? Tell me, the main thing is that you think there's something flawed. "Then I'll tell you about it. Ye Zheng was not polite, thought about it and began to say: "I think one of the flaws of this movie is that you seem to be trying to expound an emotional thing, it may be philosophical, it may be thinking, but your elaboration is not incisive enough......"

Ye Zheng and Wu Menglong chatted, he had watched several of Wu Menglong's movies, so he knew more about his movies. Ye Zheng said bluntly when he spoke, and found out some of the imperfections in Wu Menglong's movie. Of course, although Ye Zheng has mastered so many movies, his own film concept is actually very fragmented. It's just that when he was in college in his previous life, he took a few elective courses in film and read a lot of books on this subject, and now the content of these books is also deeply imprinted in his mind, which contains a variety of film styles. Among them is Wong Kar Wai style.

So Ye Zheng recalled what he had seen, and at the same time said his own opinions, in fact, he already has a certain level now, if he takes the script to film, it is no problem, but time does not allow him to soak in a movie.

With Ye Zheng's narration, Wu Menglong gradually became fascinated, and many of Ye Zheng's words inspired him. He has been looking for a certain style, a certain way of expressing cinematic art. Although his achievements have been recognized by the outside world, he himself feels that there is still a lot of room for improvement.

However, it was like a bottleneck, and he couldn't find a breakthrough on his own. However, Ye Zheng's words were like a pair of hands suddenly clearing the dark clouds above his head for him, revealing the blue sky and white sun. "I think what you want to express can be characterized as a more abstract sense of reality, using some fragmented environments, things, and seemingly messy stories to express a concept, which is not necessarily specific to a certain point. But we can find it in reality. A lot of people use movies to reflect reality, but you don't take the traditional route, you reflect through representative stories and so on. When the audience watches your movie, they think of themselves, most likely because of a detail, a fragment, or a sentence or two. Ye Zheng said.

"Yes, yes!" Wu Menglong nodded again and again, feeling like he had found a confidant, and he was excited. "But it's a pity that you haven't done a good enough job of dealing with some details and clips. Ye Zheng said bluntly: "So, it will lead to a ...... Feeling of constipation. "Poof!" Xiao Qi, who was drinking water, squirted out a mouthful of water. But Wu Menglong nodded solemnly: "Yes, you said a lot, what do you have any opinions on this?" Ye Zheng briefly said some of his own opinions, giving Wu Menglong some inspiration, and Wu Menglong admired Ye Zheng more and more in his heart.

If he didn't see Ye Zheng, he would never believe that a person who is invincible in music can still have such profound insights in movies. And it's not just one...... The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became.
