Chapter 121: Gold Medal Screenwriter
Harvin Group, Twin Towers.
Mu Qingyu presided over the overall work of the group, and Wei Xia became the shopkeeper.
But Wei Xia was not idle, he spent his energy on preparing for a new movie.
"Xiao Xia, I have re-revised the script of "Wolf Teeth", you can take a look at it again. The third sister, Li Liyu, put the thickened version of the script in front of Wei Xia with both hands.
Su Anxi, who was next to him, also looked at Wei Xia, waiting for Wei Xia's evaluation of the new script.
Boss Wei attaches great importance to it!
The rate of return of this drama is quite high, with a maximum investment of 200 million, and the income can reach 20 to 40 times!
Open the script, the first scene, two stories, one is the plot of the original script, and the other is the revised plot.
Li Liyu has thoroughly understood the script and took the initiative to explain:
"The opening scene of the original play is a fight scene, where the protagonist Wolf Tooth performs the task of arresting, single-handedly breaks into the bandit's lair, and finally brings the villain to justice, which is the traditional opening routine. ”
Because the main purpose of this drama is to realistically show that soldiers serve the country, then the opening scene should deduce the sacrifice spirit and comradeship of the soldiers, not just simple force and execution of orders. ”
Wei Xia listened to the third sister's explanation while reading the script, and nodded frequently.
In the revised version, the comrades-in-arms sacrificed their lives for the country, and the wolf tooth escorted the ashes of the comrades-in-arms back to their hometowns, and happened to encounter the demolition team. After all kinds of contradictions and conflicts, even if he knew that he would face prison, he did not hesitate to express the force and character of the wolf's teeth.
Li Liyu continued:
If the whole film can be successful, then I believe that it must resonate with the audience's patriotic feelings. Structurally, the second scene will be the beginning throughout the book. ”
is also ordered in danger, and the original drama is that the protagonist Wolf Tooth was specially transferred back to carry out the evacuation mission, highlighting the protagonist's strength and status, and the identity of the super soldier king.
After Li Liyu's revision, this scene was arranged in prison. The protagonist was imprisoned for the sake of his comrades-in-arms' families, and then when the country needed him, he did not hesitate to go out for the country, without the slightest dragging mud and water, let alone talking about any conditions.
The image of a soldier, his patriotic feelings, his fearless spirit, and his moral character, regardless of personal gains and losses, became clear at once!
Looking at it, Wei Xia suddenly found that the rate of return of this drama has changed, from 2000-4000% to 3000-4000%, and the bottom line has improved.
It's definitely because of the changes brought about by the script revision!
"My sister is really my baby!haha!" Wei Xia simply stopped watching it, he completely believed in Li Liyu's screenwriting ability.
The third sister Li Yuqiao blushed, lowered her little head shyly, but her heart was beautiful~
not only helped Wei Xia, but also showed his talent, especially the "baby" ......
What a pun! How can a delicate-minded person like Li Liyu not hear it?
Su Anxi heard it!
The small mouth pouted, and a pair of eyes glanced at Wei Xia "viciously", and the sour breath was permeated.
Wei Xia said "not good" in his heart, and quickly changed the topic:
"Fourth sister, you are the heroine of this play, how is the role figuring out?"
"Don't worry, my sister won't hold you back! Although I mainly make TV series and don't participate in many movies, I have many years of experience, so worry about the actor, hum!" Su Anxi straightened her body proudly.
"Actually, sometimes it's not impossible. Dragging your feet is also a position and posture, you can try!" Wei Xia glanced at Su Anxi with bad intentions.
As soon as he said that, Su Anxi's delicate face immediately became as red as an apple......
However, the male lead?
In other words, the third sister didn't say that she was the hero? Wei Xia looked at the third sister Li Liyu strangely.
"There shouldn't be any big problems with the script, there are still two things that need to be resolved. Li Liyu returned to normalcy and said seriously.
Her brother and sister flirt in front of her, what can she do?
Pretend not to understand~
"First of all, in terms of props! Clothing and equipment are fine, but how to get those warships and special vehicles? We are willing to spend money, and we can't rent them if we want to. The second is the male protagonist, and basically I can't find a suitable one. ”
Speaking of this, Li Liyu frowned.
Military-themed films will inevitably face this problem, and many scenes are edited and synthesized through expansion films, not real shooting.
"The warship is really difficult to solve, but the second sister serves in the special forces, so maybe she can help. What's wrong with the male protagonist?Am I not already the male protagonist?" Wei Xia asked with a frown.
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
Li Liyu and Su Anxi screamed at the same time.
"Xiao Xia, do you want to be the leading actor? Can you do it? How can you have any acting experience?" Su Anxi was full of doubts.
"Brother, you're not serious, are you? I thought you were talking about playing last time!" Li Liyu looked at Wei Xia in surprise.
Wei Xia replied rhetorically:
"Fourth sister, don't doubt it, I'm very good! And there are so many rival scenes between the male protagonist and the heroine, kissing and hugging, I will never let others play the male lead, this cannot be changed!"
Hearing this, Su Anxi's eyes showed a happy look, and she felt Wei Xia's intentions, while Li Liyu turned her head in disdain, how embarrassed and embarrassing~
After a short silence, Li Liyu still gritted his teeth and said:
"Brother, you're really not suitable. The majority of celebrities are not good candidates, and active military personnel are the most suitable. Even if it's a second-best thing, it's not bad to find a retired special soldier. ”
After thinking for a while, Wei Xia made up his mind:
"This movie is definitely going to be made, let's improve the script first, and the details can be better handled. ”
A week later.
With Wei Xia's participation in the revision, the entire script has reached a level of perfection, and no flaws can be found in any scene.
The big artist system that Wei Xia got was not called casually!
Full level of writing ability, writing poetry, screenwriting, acting, drawing, singing, musical instruments, calligraphy, etc., proficient in everything.
"Xiao Xia is worthy of being a scholar, amazing! The title of gold medal screenwriter should be given to you!" Li Liyu said admiringly.
In seven days, the three of them have been revising the script, mainly because Wei Xia is constantly proposing improvement plans, and the handling of every small detail makes this drama more brilliant.
The same structure and plot, but the details of the expression are different, and the feedback effect is very different!
"Don't dare to be greedy, haha! Without my sister to control the direction of the whole play, without my sister's guidance, I can't play so well, hehe!" Wei Xia was modest.
"But in this way, it will also be a challenge to the actor's acting skills!" Su Anxi was a little worried.
There are so many kissing scenes, and every expression and action has made clear requirements in the script, isn't this to shame people?
She only pays attention to her own role, in fact, it is the actor who is more difficult.
Wei Xia looked at the two sisters solemnly:
"I've thought about it seriously, the third sister's words make sense! Only a real soldier can show that kind of temperament in his true colors, so my brother I want to go to the army!"
Su Anxi and Li Liyu stared at each other with big eyes, and they couldn't react a little.
"Xiao Xia, you want to participate... Jun: Then we can't make this movie yet?"
"There's no need to do this to make a movie, right? The military is not a place to come and go casually, you have to think clearly. ”
Wei Xia nodded, motioned to the two sisters to listen to him, and said:
"I'm thinking about two things. In terms of acting, I believe I can grasp it. But what a real soldier looks like, I don't know. ”
"Second, this drama is a movie with a military patriotic theme, and I believe that the state will support it, and the military will also support it! In this way, we don't have to worry about the props of warships and some special vehicles. ”
For the time being, Wei Xia has no plans to join the army, he just wants to understand the life of a soldier in the army and experience it.
"How long are you going?" Su Anxi's eyes showed reluctance.
"It depends! It is estimated that it will take at least three months. Contact the second sister first, and if the military leaders agree, the specific arrangements will be coordinated. ”
called the unit where the second sister Leng Yan was, and it took a long time for Leng Yan to call back.
"I'm training, tell me about something!" Leng Yan was still cold.
"Second sister, hehe~ Has your body healed?" Wei Xia greeted with a hippie smile.
The last time he was injured, Leng Yan didn't recuperate for too long, and hurriedly returned to the unit.
"Stinky boy, I'm hanging up!"
"No, there's something serious! my brother wants to ask my sister for help!"
No longer idle nonsense, Wei Xia said his thoughts truthfully.
At the end of the call, Leng Yan asked Wei Xia to wait for the result.
Less than two hours later, the call came back again.
The leadership of the troops agreed!
The style of a soldier is vigorous and resolute, and he is resolute in handling affairs.
The army will give some young people of appropriate age simple military training, both high school and university, that is, military training.
Wei Xia is a little special.
He wanted to really join the army and experience life, maybe for the sake of a cold face, maybe there were some other considerations, anyway, the military agreed.
However, Wei Xia needs to enter the special forces to experience life!
"It must be the second sister who said a few kind words for me in front of her leader, hum!" Wei Xia pretended to be dissatisfied.
Li Liyu covered his mouth and chuckled twice, and quipped:
"The special forces are just right, the male protagonist Wolf Tooth is a soldier of the special forces, which is more real. ”
Su Anxi encouraged:
"Xiao Xia, come on! It's a rare opportunity to be able to experience in the special forces! It is said that those who have been in the army are very strong people, and you have to work hard! In the future, when you enter the film and television industry, my sister doesn't want you to be a cream boy!"
The two sisters knew that Wei Xia was in good health and good at kung fu, and believed in his strength.
What they don't know is that the army life that Wei Xia is about to face is not something that can be easily adapted!
