Chapter 448: The manuscript is complete
"Why do you want me to star?" Xiao Yao asked in surprise, "I have never made a feature film, but I have acted in a TV series and a short film, and it was almost six years ago and two years ago. There are so many excellent actors in Huaxia, why did you choose me?"
"Because I think you can act well!" Zhan Youcheng said, "Although you have only acted in one TV series and one short film, you have won the domestic newcomer award for making TV, and the short film you made has also won awards abroad, I don't understand acting, but you have acted twice and won awards twice, this acting is always good, right? Those two awards are not just pheasant awards." ”
"The short film is the film that won the award, not me as an actor. Xiao Yao reminded with a wry smile.
"But if the actors in it don't act well, the short film itself won't win awards, right?"
"This..."Xiao Yao had nothing to say. Speaking from the bottom of his heart, Xiao Yao also felt that he still played "The Tuner" very well, and if he couldn't say it well, it would be hypocrisy.
"Also," Zhan continued, "my story is from what happened during the earthquake last year. When the earthquake last year, you were the only acting star who participated in the rescue work on the scene, and no actor felt the earthquake more deeply than you. You are the reporter who interviewed me today, and my story is the most familiar to you, and the feeling should be the deepest. ”
"In my eyes, you're the right fit. Zhan Youcheng finally said, "I don't think anyone will act better than you!"
"Thank you for the affirmation. Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, then shook his head and said, "But a movie is not considered as a preliminary preparation, if you only count the shooting time, it will take at least one or two months to shoot as fast, and as slow as half a year or even a few years." I'm still a student and I still have to go to school, so I'm afraid I don't have that much time to make movies. ”
"It's okay, I can wait for you to take a vacation, or even wait for you to graduate. It's not that I'm going to make this movie, I'm not in a hurry. Zhan Youcheng smiled, "In short, I will make this a condition of my authorization, and ask the producer to write it into the contract." ”
"Okay, I see. Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "I will relay your request to the producer and director." But then again, now it's just that I think your story is suitable for a movie, and my mom and the producers don't know about you yet, and I don't know if they will like the story as much as I do, and whether they will want to make it. I'm just asking them about your intentions in advance. ”
"Is that maybe they didn't like my story at all and didn't plan to make it into a movie?" asked Zhan Youcheng.
"Yes. Xiao Yao nodded, "There is another possibility, they originally wanted to shoot, but because you added such a harsh condition, they decided not to shoot." Don't think that the director is my mother, she must think that I am suitable for this role. This is her first film, and she will be very cautious, not to mention that I don't know who the producer is and what the producer's opinion is about the actors. ”
"It's okay, I understand. Zhan Youcheng said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you can't shoot it, it's just that if you want to shoot, I have such a request." ”
"No, you don't care, I do. Xiao Yao said, "I really want to put your story on the big screen." If my mom finally decides not to shoot your story, I'll do it myself. It's just that if I had done it myself, it wouldn't have been a recent thing. ”
"It doesn't matter who shoots it, it doesn't matter when you shoot it, as long as you play it. Zhan Youcheng emphasized again.
"Okay, I got it. Xiao Yao nodded, and continued, "For news reports, I still need to take a few photos to match the text report." I don't want to take this kind of photo casually with my mobile phone, but I came to Jiang Yan's house today as a guest, and I didn't bring the camera with me in the hotel room, so can I take the camera to your store tomorrow to take a few photos of you and your store?"
"Yes. Zhan Youcheng nodded, "I open the door at nine o'clock in the morning every day, and when you go after nine o'clock, I am in the store." Jiang Yan knows the address of my store. Since he agreed to be interviewed, Zhan Youcheng has no opinion on taking pictures.
"Okay, I'll look for you in your shop after nine o'clock tomorrow. Xiao Yao said, "If the report is approved and can be published, I will notify you." I'll mention the movie adaptation to my mom when I get back, and I'll tell you the result whether it works out or not. So, would you like to give me your contact information?"
"No problem!" Zhan Youcheng took out a notebook and pen from the drawer under the coffee table, wrote down his contact information, handed it to Xiao Yao, and then took the business card on the coffee table in front of him and put it away, "I also kept your business card!"
"That's all for today, thank you for talking to me so much today. Xiao Yao stood up from the sofa, stretched out his hand to Zhan Youcheng and said, "I won't disturb your rest too much." Put away Zhan Youcheng's contact information, and Xiao Yao was ready to end this meeting.
"You're welcome, I should thank you too!" Zhan Youcheng stretched out his hand to shake Xiao Yao's hand, and then smiled, "Go slowly, I won't stand up to see you off!"
"No, you're welcome. Xiao Yao looked at Zhan Youcheng's crutches placed next to his seat, and suddenly thought of another question, "You just said that the place where you cut off is a calf, and it should be possible to install a prosthetic, right?
A limb disability can be fitted with a prosthesis, that is, a prosthetic. Compared with the decorative role of the prosthesis of the upper limb, the prosthesis of the lower limb can assist walking, which is much more useful than the upper limb, and it is relatively more pretended.
"Yes, it can be loaded. Zhan Youchengdao, "But the hospital can't install it, and you need to go to a professional prosthetic company for assembly." There are many problems that need to be paid attention to when wearing a prosthesis, such as the cleaning of the prosthesis, the place where the prosthesis is contacted, and the skin in the contact place may be worn out and cause wound infection, which is particularly troublesome and has a certain risk, and there is no such special prosthetic company in Wuyou County, I think I can't climb the mountain anyway, and there is nothing inconvenient about walking on crutches, and I can also avoid the problems that may occur when wearing a prosthesis, so I don't bother to go to the prosthetic company in the big city to install a prosthesis. ”
"Oh. Xiao Yao nodded, did not continue the topic, took Jiang Yan to say goodbye, and left Zhan Youcheng's family.
"Can't you climb the mountain with a prosthetic?" Xiao Yao had a question in his heart, but he didn't say it, but planned to inquire first.
"Brother Cheng can talk to his friends who climb the mountain, and he can also talk to the people in our family," Jiang Yan looked at Xiao Yao when he came out of Zhan Youcheng's house and went downstairs, "But he told you more tonight than he told our family." Brother Xiao, you are really amazing. ”
"I'm doing an interview," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "He doesn't speak, how can I write a press release?"
"Then when will I see the news you wrote?" Jiang Yan asked.
"It's hard to say," Xiao Yao said, "If it goes well, the day after tomorrow at the earliest, and the slowest at the earliest, it may take a month." ”
"What kind of newspaper is that? I'm going to have to buy it." Jiang Yan said again.
"It's hard to say. Xiao Yao said, "Xinhua News Agency has more than one newspaper and magazine, there are daily, weekly, semi-monthly and monthly, my report is sent directly to the headquarters, depending on what kind of newspaper and magazine they think my report is suitable for publication." When the results are available, I will inform you to buy them and take a look. ”
"Good. Jiang Yan nodded.
"By the way," Xiao Yao added, "I usually use my real name to publish news reports, but my situation is quite special, and Xinhua News Agency made an exception and agreed to let me use a pseudonym to publish news." Most people don't know that name is me, so you have to keep it a secret for me after reading it, so that no one else knows that the reporter is me, is that okay?"
"It's confidential, no problem!" Jiang Yan made an OK gesture, "My family knows that you came to interview Brother Cheng, and I will also let them keep it secret." ”
After returning to Jiang Yan's house, Xiao Yao didn't stay long, and briefly talked to Jiang Yan's family about going up to interview Zhan Youcheng, and after thanking the Jiang family for their hospitality, he said goodbye and left.
Back in the hotel room, Xiao Yao took a simple shower, then turned on the computer and wrote a press release. Although Xiao Yao's memory is super strong, even after a period of time, he will not forget it, but now he has just finished talking to Zhan Youcheng, not only when he has the deepest memory, but also when he feels the deepest in his heart, and there is no activity tonight, Xiao Yao plans to complete the text manuscript tonight, so that tomorrow with pictures, you can send it directly to Xinhua News Agency through the Internet.
Zhan Youcheng's matter, Xiao Yao planned to tell Ye Jiaying as film script material. It's hard to say whether a story I heard and a news report published in a newspaper or magazine have the same effect on Ye Jiaying's side, but the feeling on the producer's side is definitely different. Therefore, Xiao Yao also hopes that this report can be published as soon as possible, so that Ye Jiaying and the producer will be more likely to choose this story.
According to the original plan, everyone was going to leave for Guangyuan early the next morning, but Xiao Yao made an appointment with Zhan Youcheng yesterday to go to his store to take pictures of him after nine o'clock, and obviously couldn't leave early in the morning. After getting up and gathering in the hall the next day, Xiao Yao told everyone that there were still some private matters to deal with in Wuyou County, and it might take half a day. This event has ended, and those who are willing to wait for him can leave together later, and if they have something, they can also carpool and leave first.
Wuyou County to Guangyuan is only half a day's journey, even if you start at noon, you don't have to rush to the night, Xiao Yao's matter will definitely be done before noon, everyone discussed, they all expressed their willingness to stay in Wuyou County for half a day, waiting for Xiao Yao to go together.
So, some people went back to the upstairs room to sleep in the cage, some people went out to visit Wuyou County with great interest, Xiao Yao drove alone, went to the street to find a place to have breakfast, and then went to Zhan Youcheng's store unhurriedly according to the address given by Jiang Yan last night.
When Xiao Yao arrived, Zhan Youcheng had just opened the store not long ago. There were no guests in the morning, so Xiao Yao hugged the camera and went straight to the point.
Zhan Youcheng was trapped in the basement warehouse of the store, but the new store has no basement, but there is a room in the back as a warehouse, and Xiao Yao is also very sorry to lose the basement warehouse, which is the subject he wants to photograph very much.
Xiao Yao first took some photos of the store's furnishings, then took some close-up photos of Zhan Youcheng's people, and finally carefully put forward a request to take some photos of Zhan Youcheng's broken leg injury. Zhan Youcheng happily agreed. However, his store was a glass door, and he didn't want to be seen by passers-by on the street outside, so he sat in the store and exposed his injuries for people to take pictures, so he temporarily closed the store door and took Xiao Yao to the warehouse at the back for him to take pictures.
After entering the warehouse, Xiao Yao first carefully observed the injury of Zhan Youcheng's broken leg before raising his camera and starting to shoot. Xiao Yao's shooting was also very careful, not to mention taking more than a dozen photos from different angles up and down, left and right, front and back, and also took out the prepared tape measure to take pictures of his injuries.
"What are you doing here?" Seeing that Xiao Yao actually took out a tape measure to take pictures of his injuries, Zhan Youcheng asked with some puzzlement.
"Shoot the leg circumference of the injured part," Xiao Yao explained, "To break such a thick leg by yourself, the courage and perseverance required are not something ordinary people can do, and given specific numbers, this shock will be stronger." ”
"It's, okay. Zhan Youcheng thought about it and accepted Xiao Yao's explanation.
Almost half an hour later, Xiao Yao's filming was over, and the two returned to the store in front of them.
After coming to the store, Xiao Yao did not leave in a hurry, but sat down at the reception table, took out his laptop from his backpack, transferred the photos in the camera to the computer, and immediately edited and sorted them out. After selecting the photos that he thought were suitable and doing some necessary post-processing, Xiao Yao put those photos into the text manuscript he had written yesterday, and then put his laptop in front of Zhan Youcheng.
"The manuscript is written, just when you are here, you take a look first, and if you think there is a problem, something that is inappropriate or inconsistent with the facts, I will change it on the spot. Xiao Yao pointed to the document on the computer screen.
"You're ready to write, so fast!" Zhan Youcheng said in surprise.
"I wrote it last night, and I just added the photo. Xiao Yao said.
"Amazing," Zhan Youcheng gave a thumbs up, looked down at the computer screen and said, "I'll take a look." ”
"What's the matter with this name?" Zhan Youcheng asked as soon as he looked at the beginning, pointing to the computer screen.
"This is my pseudonym. Xiao Yao said, "My identity is quite special, and the society specially allows me to use a pseudonym to sign my name." I want people to want to read my stories, not because I'm a star, but because of the content of the story. By the way, this pseudonym, please help me keep it a secret. ”
"Yes, no problem. Zhan Youcheng nodded, and then looked down.
"Basically, there is no problem," after ten minutes, Zhan Youcheng, who finished reading it, touched his chin and smiled, "No, it's not no problem, it's very good." After reading it, I was touched by myself!"
"It's okay, then I'll send it like this. Xiao Yao took the laptop and said.
"Wait, I don't think I saw the picture you just took of my wound with a tape measure. Zhan Youcheng said suspiciously.
"When I was adding the photo just now, I suddenly felt that it was not appropriate to put the photo with a tape measure, so it was useless. I've just taken a lot of photos, and I don't use all of them, so I have to make some trade-offs. Xiao Yao said.
"Oh. Zhan Youcheng nodded, "What about useless photos?"
"You don't want to take all the other photos back, do you?" Xiao Yao said, "If you want a copy, I can send it to you, but I also have to keep a copy of these photos for backup, maybe I will use them somewhere in the future." ”
"Actually, I didn't plan to ask for it," Zhan Youcheng said with a smile, "but since you said so, then send me a copy, I just remembered that you are still a big-name photographer, and the photos you take are not what ordinary people can get if they want to." ”
"Okay," Xiao Yao nodded, "The USB flash drive has it, I'll copy it to you." ”
"Yes!" Zhan Youcheng handed over a USB flash drive.
made a copy of the photo to Zhan Youcheng, Xiao Yao's affairs were all completed, and he said goodbye to Zhan Youcheng and returned to the hotel.
