12 noon.

Sun Tian, Chen Kai and Zhou Fan came to Lin Xuan's shop together, accompanied by a fat man who was about 1.7 meters tall and weighed almost 17.

His whole life is white and pure, with a pair of black-framed glasses, it should not be very satisfactory to see, and his expression is a little restrained.

Lin Xuan is now very famous in the music industry, and many people want to cooperate with him, but he is nothing in the film industry, and the script he wrote himself, especially a micro-film, is not looked down upon by directors who are a little famous in the industry.

However, for some directors who are still looking for opportunities, it is also a rare job and experience to be able to make a micro-film with an investment of hundreds of thousands.

On the phone before, Lin Xuan knew something about the director Sun Tian's finding, and knew that the other party had been working as an advertising director after graduation, shooting advertisements for people, and in the director industry, it was the lowest-end existence.

"Hello Mr. Lin, I'm Yan Hao, and I'm also a student of the Film Academy. As soon as Yan Hao saw Lin Xuan, he immediately stretched out his hand to say hello.

Speaking of which, they all graduated from the film academy, he is Lin Xuan's senior brother, but Lin Xuan is famous, and he is one of the investors, and the script is also provided by him.

If he wants to take over this job, he must satisfy Lin Xuan, so he is very polite in his words.

Lin Xuan didn't have any arrogance, so he shook hands with a smile and said, "Hello Senior Brother Yan, just call me Lin Xuan." ”

"Okay, Mr. Lin. I've read your script, and I think it's very good, it can arouse people's nostalgic feelings, and the protagonist's pursuit of dreams is also quite touching. As soon as Yan Hao sat down, he first praised two sentences.

Lin Xuan's script to Sun Tian was a script that had been revised by him.

In the previous life, "Old Boy" was able to become popular because it told about the youthful youth that everyone experienced, the absurdity and unruliness of those youths, and the teenager with dreams.

The film talks about the changes from boys to old boys, dreams to reality, and also about the changes in the social environment around them, because it is about the epitome of thousands of people who have been defeated by life, and people can resonate with so many people when they see their own shadows in the movie.

This resonance is largely based on people's shared life experiences.

For example, the iconic symbolic character Michael Jackson throughout the movie, as well as the rising housing prices and more and more college graduates mentioned in the movie, the employment pressure is increasing.

Naturally, there is no Michael Jackson in this world, but the historical process and aesthetic trends of this world are similar to those of the previous world, but different characters and works have been changed.

The popular music of the world is also learned from the West, and those great musicians in the West have played a role in musical enlightenment for many young people in China.

So, Lin Xuan chose a pop superstar who also died two years ago and was widely welcomed all over the world, named James.

This pop superstar named James is also good at singing and dancing, and he is very famous in countries around the world, which can be regarded as a cultural symbol similar to Michael Jackson in the original movie.

As for the increasing housing prices and employment pressures, as well as all kinds of unsatisfactory life, this world also exists.

In short, Lin Xuan used the method of substitution to modify the script.

Lin Xuan and the others sat down separately, and he got straight to the point:

"Senior Brother Yan, after reading the script, do you think there is anything wrong? Let's discuss it today and start filming after we have confirmed it. ”

Yan Hao nodded and said:

"I don't think there's a problem with the story of the script, there are a lot of youth films in these years, it's a big chase of love triangles or something, your script doesn't have so many exaggerated things in the first place, and it's not entangled in love.

For the establishment of the villain, I think it's also very good, I didn't exaggerate how he hated it, he finally listened to the protagonist sing, and he also shed tears, but he was moved, he still eliminated the two protagonists, which is very in line with the way adults do things. ”

Lin Xuan nodded noncommittally.

Yan Hao changed his words and said with a smile:

"It is the climax of this movie, the plot where the protagonist sings at the end, then this song is very important to the movie, it can be said to be the soul of the movie.

If this song can be closely connected with the plot of the movie, it can push the emotions expressed in the movie to a climax and make people moved. ”

Yan Hao looked at Lin Xuan and said, "There is no song in the script, but Mr. Lin is an expert in making music, so he should have prepared all the songs, I want to listen to Mr. Lin's works." ”

Sun Tian also said: "After I read the script, I also felt that the song was the soul of the movie. ”

Chen Kai and Zhou Fan both said:

"Lin Xuan, quickly sing that song to us, we are already familiar with the script, let's see if your song can move us. ”

"Then I'll sing it for you first. ”

Lin Xuan smiled, then picked up the guitar, stirred the strings, and directly began to sing softly.

"That's the person I love day and night

How do I express it?

……”

Listening to Lin Xuan's singing, several people present were immersed in the singing.

The lyrics of Old Boy's song are simple and direct expressions, but they are very poignant, coupled with the beautiful melody of Takumi Ohashi and Lin Xuan's rather juvenile voice, it suddenly creates an atmosphere with a touch of nostalgia and sentimentality.

When they sang, "Has the original wish come true? Do you have to pay tribute now? Let the years dry and the ideal can never find the real me again" and "Life is like a ruthless carving knife, changing our appearance", many feelings rose in the hearts of everyone present.

After singing a song, the accompaniment of the guitar stopped, and Lin Xuan asked with a smile, "What do you think?"

Several people did not speak immediately, but replied with applause.

Yan Hao nodded slightly, and sighed:

"Youth is like a rushing river, I don't have to say goodbye if I don't come back, only the numb I don't have the blood of the year, yes, the youth is past, the blood is not there, people will always be smoothed out by life, maybe defeated by life, it is called youth. ”

He remembered his experience of crawling in society for two years after graduation, once dreaming of making movies, but became an advertising director.

When people just leave society, there will always be a period of great confusion.

Sun Tian and others are also in turmoil, what the future holds, everything is difficult to say.

Seeing the appearance of several people, Lin Xuan smiled and said:

"Youth is over, the blood is not there, but there is a saying that a man is a teenager until he dies, and the passionate self is not gone, but is hidden in a corner of the heart like a dream, so people will empathize with and be moved when they see a movie about youth dreams. ”
