I haven't seen him for a long time, and Lin Yimou is always enthusiastic when he speaks.

Why is it enthusiastic? It's not because of "Zhu Xian".

Lin Yimou has actually been very busy recently, and he basically lives in the crew, but a few days ago, Wang Lang from the marketing department told him that there was a novel that had become popular recently and had begun to become popular.

But any novel that is out of the circle must have something outstanding and must have the value of adaptation.

Lin Yimou went to take a look and found that it was "Zhu Xian", and at a cursory glance, it was indeed very valuable for adaptation.

After checking again, it turned out to be written by Xiao Lu!

When I got home, I chatted with my daughter and learned that Xiao Lu was adapting "Zhu Xian" and started to write the script.

If someone else writes the script, even if it is an adaptation of a popular IP, Lin Yimou will not care, but Lu Changming is different.

His "It's All Good" has proven his ability, and the new script naturally has to be seen for himself.

Lu Changming welcomed Lin Yimou in, and seeing his smile, he understood his intention.

What can make the director come to visit, except for the actors, is the script.

"My dad said that "Zhu Xian" is very suitable for adaptation, and he is very interested. Next to him, Lin Weixi spoke, "We didn't bother you, did we?"

"Of course not, they're all friends, sit down and talk. Lu Changming invited the two to sit down, and Su Xiaozhou obediently poured tea and water.

Lin Yimou got straight to the point: "Xiao Lu, how is your script for "Zhu Xian" written? According to my analysis, the difficulty of adapting "Zhu Xian" is beyond imagination, and I am afraid that no one in the industry can adapt it well. ”

This is not an exaggeration, Lin Yimou is very discerning, he took a cursory look at "Zhu Xian" to know how difficult it is to adapt.

The plot can be reduced, and the fights can be piled up with special effects, but what about feelings?

The relationship between Zhang Xiaofan and Xueqi Baguio is the top priority, if this point is not filmed well, then the essence of "Zhu Xian" will no longer exist, and it can only be just bad money.

"If Director Lin is asked to shoot "Zhu Xian", how will Director Lin shoot it?" Lu Changming pondered, his eyes full of thoughts.

"I don't shoot, I'll leave it to the company to shoot, and the company will probably find a few traffic stars to attract fans, plus fans of the original "Zhu Xian", so that you can make quick money. "Lin Yimou is simply ruthless.

"Why didn't Director Lin shoot?" Lu Changming asked.

"You know, I'm an I'm an Ivy League, fame is more important than money, and I wouldn't take a risk without a great adaptation. Lin Yimou smiled, "You have to take care of your feathers." ”

He also saw through and didn't dare to risk using "Zhu Xian".

"That's right. Lu Changming smiled slightly, "So I plan to take my own adventure, and the movie "Zhu Xian" will be my debut." ”

"Are you going to be a director?" Lin Yimou was taken aback, "I don't think it's appropriate, you might as well wait for the results of "It's All Good" to accumulate a little fame and be promoted to director step by step." ”

It's very simple to become a director, just have money, spend your own money to get a crew, hire some actors, and be the director when you shoot blindly.

But getting approval is never easy.

Lu Changming is still a screenwriter and has no directing experience, he wants to use "Zhu Xian" to start a knife, and nine out of ten hit the street, and "Zhu Xian", which is likely to be a popular IP work, will be ruined.

Lu Changming was silent, went to the bedroom to take out the printed script, and handed it to Lin Yimou.

Lin Yimou turned the two pages with some confusion, and then looked at it.

The room was quiet all of a sudden, and Su Xiaozhou stood obediently, always in front of outsiders.

Lin Weixi put down the water glass, was as quiet as a virgin, and looked sideways at the script.

Lu Changming didn't say anything, and let Lin Yimou read it.

After half an hour, Lin Yimou raised his head and showed a look of amazement: "Xiao Lu, you are really a genius, I look at your script as if there is a picture, and a movie is playing in my mind." ”

There is a picture, which shows that the pen is profound.

Lu Changming's Lv5 screenwriting ability impressed Lin Yimou.

"I've been writing for more than a month, and I'm still very confident. Lu Changming smiled, he was hanging, and he worked hard, if he couldn't impress Lin Yimou, it would be too rubbish.

"Xiao Lu, I'll take the script back and read it, I have to spend some time reading "Zhu Xian" carefully before I can give a formal evaluation. Lin Yimou got up and said, this trip is really the right one.

"Yes, but I have to shoot "Zhu Xian" by myself, and the script is not sold. Lu Changming quipped.

Lin Yimou waved his hand: "I'll talk about it after I finish reading, you don't have to be in a hurry to be a director." ”

He still wanted to persuade Lu Changming not to rush in.

Lu Changming didn't refute either, and sent Lin Yimou and Lin Weixi away.

When the two fathers and daughters returned home, Lin Weixi went to get something to eat, and Lin Yimou went into the study to watch "Zhu Xian".

He took a cursory look before, and he didn't look carefully at many places, and he went to find Lu Changming more because he saw the value of popular IPs, rather than because he didn't really like "Zhu Xian".

At this moment, it seemed that there was a hint of tenderness in his wise eyes.

It was as if he was young, the oxen on the high slope of the loess were mooing, the autumn wind was blowing, and he was hiding behind the dirt slope with his unkempt hair, peeking at the most beautiful girl in the village.

Pandan!

Lin Yimou took off his glasses, wiped the corners of his eyes, and then walked to the window, staring at the white sun that had long since ended.

The wind blew again, like the silk scarf used by pandan to block the wind, blowing on his face, with a throbbing aroma - although he later learned that it was pandan and her mother, the throbbing was still rooted in his heart.

"What a book. Lin Yimou exhaled and continued to watch "Zhu Xian".

Two days later, Lu Changming, who was consulting relevant information about being a director, received a call from Lin Yimou.

"Xiao Lu, I've read both the book and the script, if my expectations are right, "Zhu Xian" will be the hottest IP in the next two to three years. And your script plays to your strengths and avoids weaknesses, and your skills are profound, which is very amazing. ”

"As for the shortcomings, I think you should express more things, and you can't take the method of condensing the plot, although you are very clever, it will still move the audience. ”

Lu Changming's heart moved: "Director Lin, I have done my best, a movie is about 100 minutes......"

"It's divided into two parts, 200 minutes. ”

200 minutes!

Lu Changming's spirit was shocked, this time was a lifesaver for the screenwriter.

But ordinary people can't play, first of all, the cost of shooting, the cost of which is much higher, and the film company is generally difficult to accept, and the investment will be carried out step by step, which will cause great difficulties to the shooting.

The second is that the theater also has to consider the maximization of interests, when your upper part is not good, the next part will be released again, and there will be no film schedule.

Therefore, in the current film and television industry, there are almost no upper and lower films, generally in the form of the first, second, and third films, each of which tells an independent story, and the second part is a new story on the basis of the original, which is basically unrelated.

Moreover, this form is based on the premise that the previous film did well at the box office, not to finish a story at all, but to make money.

But "Zhu Xian" is not good, it is just a story, it can't be tricked, and Lu Changming is not willing to cheat, but the problem is ......

"Director Lin, with my capital, it is difficult to make a short film, let alone two parts. Lu Changming smiled bitterly, don't look at him as a director, in fact, he has just started, and the road ahead will be difficult.

"Since I propose that you divide the upper and lower parts, I will naturally support you. Lin Yimou said solemnly, ""Zhu Xian" can make me a lot of money, and with such a wonderful script of yours, I can cooperate with you, and we will direct "Zhu Xian" together." ”

"Then who is the deputy and who is the deputy?" Lu Changming laughed.

Lin Yimou also smiled: "I will be the chief director for you, do you dare to be?"

I don't dare, but I can hang up, Lv5 Director Dachen realm is a whole set, and he will soar directly by day!

"I ...... Try?"
