In the next few days, Lin Hai focused all his energy on script writing.

He can't help but be in a hurry, no matter how anxious he is, he can't compare to Chen Kaige.

After taking over the screenwriting work from Lin Hai, Chen Kaige maintained the rhythm of urging drafts with three phone calls a day, and even because he was far away in Cannes, Lao Chen was forced to learn to send and receive emails and chat on the Internet.

In 1998, there were no penguins, some only had ICQ, and after being so stirred up by Lin Hai, Chen Kaige actually became a pioneer in the online chat industry.

That's a welcome welcome.

Cannes closed on the 24th, and for three days in a row, Chen Kaige not only did not harass Lin Hai on the computer, but also did not even make a phone call.

Did the Buddha regret it? Broken jars and broken falls to fate?

Just when Lin Hai was puzzled, Chen Kaige's phone called.

The first sentence Lao Chen said startled Lin Hai.

"We're in Japan! Where do you live?"

This is the rhythm of going to the door!

asked if he needed to pick it up, and the other side said no, so Lin Hai reported the address.

Hanging up the phone, Lin Haichong spread his hands to Oshima Xiaomei: "It's not that I don't want to go to school, you have also seen the current situation." ”

It's not an excuse to skip school, well, it's not.

To be honest, Lin Hai was also very helpless, he even suspected that he had entered the wrong industry, he was an artist and not a courier, why were they all "expedited"?

Akimi Oshima rolled her eyes. Everyone else is doing things step by step, but Lin Hai is riding a car and flying a kite, who is he complaining about in a hurry?

Akimi Oshima said helplessly: "I'll help you ask for leave from school, and next semester, you have to report to the school anyway." ”

Lin Hai folded his fingers and calculated, the summer vacation in July and the start of school at the end of August meant that he could breathe for at least two months.

……

Chen Kaige did not come by himself, but with a large army.

Akimi Oshima's apartment is limited in size and not suitable for entertaining guests, so everyone chooses to meet at a nearby Chinese restaurant.

After meeting, Lin Hai finally understood why Chen Kaige said "we".

Good guys, not one or two people, but a large army of more than a dozen people.

Except for Jing Guanyu, the rest were Chinese, including two translators and several members of the director team, as well as several young people dressed as students.

When introducing a few young people, Chen Kaige said: "They are students of Beiying and Shangju, and they are all studying screenwriting. ”

"Go back and introduce yourself. Chen Kaige said to a few young people, and turned to Lin Hai: "I don't mean anything else to bring them, it's just to help you get started, and the script is still signed with your name......"

"Let's get back to that. Lin Hai smiled and did not rush to make a statement.

He doesn't mind co-signing with someone, as long as the other person's work satisfies him.

Chen Kaige came in with a phone call, walked to the side to make a call, Lin Hai bowed to a few young people and said, "I'm Lin Hai, please take care of me next." ”

A boy with glasses muttered in a low voice: "Yi is so big that he is going to die, and he knows if he is a wild fox Zen ......"

"Don't talk nonsense and ......"

The girl next to the boy poked him.

The boy stopped saying strange things, but his expression was quite disapproving.

He thought that Lin Hai couldn't understand, but he didn't know that Lin Hai was a native of Shanghai.

LIN HAI DIDN'T TAKE IT TO HEART, AND HE DIDN'T POINT HIS NOSE AND SCOLD "LITTLE BIYANG", BUT JUST QUESTIONED WHETHER HE HAD REAL MATERIALS, IF HE WAS CAREFUL, IT WOULD BE TOO CHEAP.

Lin Hai's personality is more like that of a northerner, which is related to his childhood experience. When he was a child, the nannies who took care of him were basically northerners, and they had a great influence on him from accent to personality.

As an aside, Lin Hai's language talent is also not unrelated to this experience, after all, he also grew up in a "bilingual" environment.

……

After Lin Hai introduced himself, several college students began to introduce themselves, four people in Beiying and three people in the play.

There is nothing to say except for the name and department, and in the face of this boy who is not as good as him in terms of education or age, several people are more or less unconvinced.

Among them, the most obvious manifestation is the boy who said strange things just now.

The boy's name is Yu Zhengchao, and when he introduced himself, he held his chin, making it clear that he was very unconvinced by Lin Hai.

The only girl among the seven, Ren Shasha, who is also from the play, showed enough respect for Lin Hai, bowed to Lin Hai seriously, and said that she would cherish this learning opportunity.

That's right.

Lin Hai doesn't mind whether the other party respects him, but he always has to show a minimum of respect when he comes out to do things. You are not required to bow, but you are always right to shake hands.

One by one, their faces were tight, and those who didn't know thought they owed them.

……

Except for Yu Zhengchao and Ren Shasha, the others didn't leave much impression on Lin Hai, but he believed that these people could be selected, and they must have the ability.

Chen Kaige came back after the call, and everyone sat down one after another.

Halfway through the meal, Chen Kaige suddenly remembered and said to Ren Shasha: "Sasha, Lin Hai is also from Shanghai, you are fellow countrymen, don't you want to have a drink when you meet?"

As soon as Chen Kaige's voice fell, the few students who were originally chatting all quieted down. The four of Beiying gloated, and the faces of the three people in the play were full of embarrassment. Especially Yu Zhengchao, his face is black and red, which is very exciting.

Chen Kaige's eyes haven't been dazzled yet, if he can't see that there is a cat behind him, then he will be in vain all these years.

His face sank and he asked, "What's the matter?"

Yu Zhengchao knew that the correct option was to apologize to Lin Hai immediately, but he couldn't pull his face, and he was even more afraid of being driven back to China, his eyes dodged, and he just refused to speak.

Ren Shasha had nothing to do with herself, but Yu Zhengchao was her junior in the end, so she gritted her teeth and decided to save the scene.

She stood up and bowed her head to Lin Hai to apologize: "I'm sorry, I ......"

Lin Hai reacted quickly, got up as well, and waved his hand to interrupt her.

"No apologies, I know you can't drink. Lin Hai said with a smile: "I can't drink either, if I do, everyone won't want to eat." ”

As soon as Lin Hai spoke, Ren Shasha was stunned, what she wanted to say was not this at all. After Lin Hai finished speaking, Ren Shasha came back to her senses, understood Lin Hai's kindness, and bowed gratefully.

I didn't see it when I was ready to see the excitement, but I was disappointed and admired Lin Hai's generosity, and asked myself if I changed it to myself, where could I put it down gently if I had the opportunity to slap my face.

And those who didn't know why were misled by Lin Hai and showed an expression of sudden realization. In their opinion, the reason why Ren Shasha was embarrassed was that she didn't want to accompany the wine, and Yu Zhengchao behaved so abnormally...... I can't figure it out that he and Ren Shasha are "friends".

Thinking like this, several people looked at Yu Zhengchao's eyes with contempt. If you don't dare to come out, forget it, why don't you hide your mind deeply, with a stinky face, is it really blind to be a director?

"How can a man not drink alcohol, and if he can't drink enough, he should practice in the morning. ”

Someone said.

"It's not like that. Lin Hai explained: "Japanese law stipulates that minors under the age of 20 are not allowed to drink, and if I drink, once someone reports it, the boss will be punished." ”

I see.

After figuring out the reason, everyone did not persuade Lin Hai to drink again.

……

Lin Hai can deceive others, but he can't deceive Chen Kaige.

Chen Kaige guessed the cause and effect in the blink of an eye, shook his head at Lin Hai and smiled: "You, ......"

Lin Hai didn't know what Chen Kaige wanted to say, but judging from his expression, the other party was not annoyed by carrying the black pot.

That's right, Lin Hai's disposal can be described as a happy one, but Chen Kaige is the only one who carries the black cauldron. Lao Chen originally just wanted to let their fellow villagers communicate more, but he didn't expect that after Lin Hai said this, it turned out to be an "unspoken rule".

Lin Hai threw his hand at Chen Kaige, signaling him to bear with him, isn't the creature of directing this kind of creature just to carry the black cauldron.

……

It's not worth ruining a young person's future for a trivial thing that isn't even a quarrel.

Yu Zhengchao is still a student, if he is kicked out of the crew by Chen Kaige, who else will dare to use him in the future?

There is no doubt that although this matter is not big, as long as Lin Hai says it, Chen Kaige will definitely drive Yu Zhengchao away.

It's not that Chen Kaige is ruthless, but the crew has the rules of the crew, if he doesn't kill the chickens and make an example, Lin Hai will have no prestige at all;

Although he carried the black cauldron, Chen Kaige was very satisfied with Lin Hai's character, but in terms of the way he handled it, he did not agree with Lin Hai's approach.

In his opinion, Lin Hai should take advantage of the topic to play, and the two of them should play a double reed, which is more conducive to the follow-up work.

Chen Kaige glanced at Yu Zhengchao, the other party lowered his eyes, and his face was cloudy.

Grace isn't necessarily a good thing......

Chen Kaige sighed in his heart and didn't say it.

……

Good intentions may not be rewarded, and Lin Hai also understands this truth.

There may not be many farmers in the entertainment industry, but there are definitely a lot of poisonous snakes, and there are many people who are favored by others and bite in turn, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than fame and fortune.

Lin Hai was not directed at Yu Zhengchao, but at others.

Lin Hai knows very well that age is his weakness, and anyone who faces a superior who is much younger than himself will not be convinced, let alone this group of young and vigorous heavenly pride.

If Lin Hai is a fox and a fake tiger, these people may give in on the surface, but they will only look down on him even more in their hearts.

Always convince people with virtue.

Thinking like this, Lin Hai took out a pile of freshly baked scripts and handed them to Chen Kaige.

"I've already put together the outline of the script, you can take a look. ”

Chen Kaige knew what Lin Hai meant, handed the script to Ren Shasha, and said, "You take a look at it first, and the next thing you have to do is to assist Lin Hai in fleshing out the script." ”

Ignoring the students who gathered together to read the script, Chen Kaige continued to say to Lin Hai: "It must be started by mid-July at the latest, and I also mentioned to you who will star in it, they are all old drama bones, it doesn't matter if the script comes out later, you can let them take the outline to find their feelings, but it can't be more than next month at the latest." ”

"The script is fine. ”

Lin Hai's outline is very detailed, as long as the details are enriched and the flesh is filled, it is enough, and the lines do not need to be cut too finely, which is the homework that actors need to do.

Lin Hai wasn't worried about his side, but he was a little worried about Chen Kaige's side.

"Isn't it too rushed?

Changing the script is a matter that affects the whole body, not only the actors have to do their homework again, but the adjustment of other links is the most headache.

For example, there was a scene of riding a horse in the original script, but the venue was selected, the horses were rented, the props were made, and even the lighting and set plans came out...... As a result, the script was changed and this scene was not filmed, and all these hard work were in vain.

Lin Hai is not stunned, when he created the script, he took into account the current situation of the crew as much as possible, but there are still a lot of headaches left for the director team.

Chen Kaige really had a headache, he hadn't slept well for several days.

He took out half a plate of painkillers, took out a piece of borrowed wine and swallowed it, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know how I fell for you, now it's okay, it's hard to ride a tiger." ”

(Taking drugs through alcohol is seriously harmful to your health, please do not imitate!)

To be honest, he regrets it all the time these days, but Lin Hai's script is very exciting......

I can't think about it, I can't even carry painkillers if I think about it too much.

Chen Kaige pressed his temples and said, "As for the postponement you said, it's impossible. ”

Do you think Chen Kaige doesn't want to postpone filming? The problem is that he has said hello to many actors, although he has not officially signed a contract yet, but these actors have set aside a schedule for him. If you release a pigeon, people don't say it, he can't afford to lose that person.
