After finishing work in the evening, Lu Lin had time to pay attention to Han Jiayi, who was apprehensive, like a student who was anxious to know his grades. After all, she is a fledgling newcomer, and Lu Lin's comments are very important to her.

But the first reader was her father Han Shanping, who gave a comment that "the subject matter is not bad, you can show it to others, and there is no shame", which gave her the confidence to stand here.

Before that, she also wrote a comedy script that "wanted to be funny but didn't get it", Han Shanping read it and said, "Don't take it out, it's a shame", which made her a little frustrated.

And Lu Lin smiled and looked very expectant, which made this introverted girl excited and uneasy. I'm really afraid that Lu Lin will smile reluctantly after seeing it.

There are many people in the crew, and it is inconvenient to talk about it in detail. The two went to a nearby restaurant to ask for a small box, and after sitting down and ordering, Han Jiayi solemnly took out the printed script from the bag, writing "The God of Chinese Medicine".

Seeing these words, Lu Lin couldn't help but smile, remembering the first name of the movie in another time and space - "Indian God of Medicine", but it was changed to "Chinese God of Medicine" not long after it was started. Xu Zheng was interviewed by the media, and when talking about the reason for changing his name, he laughed, and some people always asked him if the filming of "Indian Divine Oil" was finished? I really don't want to mislead the audience like this.

Lu Lin took the script and flipped through it in his hand. In fact, he reads very quickly, but in order to show respect, he still slows down and looks at page by page.

The script is well written, the writing skills are very solid, and the plot and characters are very full. But there is a very fatal problem, too depressing, too sad!

And Lu Lin himself doesn't like bitter dramas very much. The vast majority of people in this world do not live easily, and most of them watch movies for fun, so why magnify some suffering.

Happiness but not lewdness, sorrow but not sadness! Happiness but not without moderation, sorrow but not too much sadness.

As for those "bitter dramas" that are "miserable" for the sake of selling misery, creating suffering for the sake of suffering, and constantly amplifying the evil of human nature, Lu Lin has always stayed away, although his childhood and youth were very unfortunate.

After reading the book, Lu Lin closed it and said with a smile: "It's very good, you can set up a project to shoot!"

Han Jiayi, who has been waiting for the results, heard such an affirmation, it was like hearing fairy sounds.

"Really, then what else do you think I need to revise?" Changing the script is a common thing in the industry, and Lu Lin's affirmation can only say that there is no problem with the big framework, and some details need to be revised is certain, and it may be a major change.

Lu Lin laughed and said: "Change is definitely wanted, how to say, the subject itself is very heavy, and the writing is too depressing, the audience can't stand it!"

Han Jiayi was a little embarrassed and said: "When I was also checking the information, I saw that there was leukemia in many bitter dramas, and the style was brought over!"

Lu Lin smiled and said: "It's different, the bitter drama is shown on TV, people are idle at home, sitting on comfortable sofas, enjoying the sunshine, eating snacks, watching the suffering of others in the play, wiping a few tears, and then feeling that they are not sick or alive."

But watching a movie is another scene, going to the cinema all the way, adding the duration of the feature film on the way back and forth, and it takes two or three hours to do so. If you delay a little longer, half a day will pass. At this time, watching a particularly depressing and tragic movie in the cinema often feels very worthless!"

Seeing Han Jiayi thoughtful, Lu Lin continued: "Didn't you notice? In the film market, comedy is more popular, and bitter dramas are only popular in the field of TV dramas!"

Han Jiayi seemed to have an understanding, and said casually: "Are you saying that people are in the mood to appreciate and sympathize with the suffering of others only when they are comfortable and comfortable?"

Lu Lin smiled and said: "That's pretty much what it means, it's not that pure tragic movies have no market, but compared with the casual success of comedy films, it is more difficult for tragic movies to succeed." ”

Han Jiayi looked like he was being taught, and said, "I know, then I'll take this script back and change it!"

After speaking, I remembered the funny script I wrote before, and suddenly lost confidence, and said in advance: "If you don't change it well, you have to bother!"

Lu Lin said with a smile: "It's okay, you go back and try to write it first, and when my scene is finished, "The God of Chinese Medicine" can be prepared for the project, and then we will change this script together!"

When Han Jiayi heard this, she was like taking a reassuring pill, and she immediately became much more down-to-earth. With Lu Lin's operation, I'm afraid that in a year and a half, this movie will be able to log in theaters! I can't help but feel a little excited when I think of this.

Lu Lin couldn't help but smile when he saw this girl looking eager to try. teased her: "You have also studied directing, how about you come to direct when you don't have time?"

Han Jiayi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That, no, I can't manage a crew." ”

After thinking about it, he said cautiously: "If you are an assistant director, I dare to give it a try!"

Lu Lin smiled again: "Okay, then it's decided! You come to be my assistant director!"

Han Jiayi nodded, showing some apprehension in her excitement. She is not yet thirty years old, and she has only graduated for half a year with a master's degree in Beijing Film Co., Ltd., and she can cooperate with a big director like Lu Lin, compared to her classmates, the starting point is not much higher.

She also knew that she was stained with her father's light, but her family background was innate, and there was no real equality between people.

After that, we talked about some trivial matters, Han Jiayi asked some things in the crew, and Lu Lin answered for her with a smile. As for the preparation of "God of Medicine", I didn't talk to her at all.

In Lu Lin's heart, he naturally tried to use the original team from another time and space. Directed by Lu Lin, produced by Ning Hao, starring Xu Zheng, Wen Muyu was called to be an assistant director with Han Jiayi.

The rest of the actors also try to use the "original cast", and the other point is that there are not many artists under Longlin, and they are not very suitable.

For example, the well-received Lu Fuyi corner, Han Dongjun is too strong, and Zhang Yishan is too thin. Chen He and Zheng Kai are a little worse, so it is more reliable to let Wang Chuanjun act.

In terms of actresses, the role of single mother Liu Sihui needs the kind of "Tsing Yi" type actors who are slightly older, but Ying Bao, Fat Di, Jing Yan, etc. are all Hua Dan, and they are not very suitable.

After chatting for a while, it was already past eight o'clock. It was not safe to drive back to Beijing at this point, so Lu Lin asked his assistant Gao Wen to help Han Jiayi book a room in a nearby hotel.

drove it downstairs and said, "Go up, you can try to change the script when you go back, and think about what kind of comedy elements to add to neutralize the depressing plot atmosphere without destroying the style structure!"

Han Jiayi couldn't help nodding and said, "I know, thank you Teacher Lu!"

Lu Lin said, "Why did you suddenly call the teacher?"

Han Jiayi said: "I feel that I have benefited a lot today, and I can't learn these things in school!"

Lu Lin smiled and said: "How can I say it, they are theoretical, I am a practical school, no matter how beautiful the theory is, it must be able to be implemented!"
