In the days when he didn't make movies and didn't work as an actor, Lin Xiaoguang felt very lonely, and the post-production of the movie hypnosis master was handed over to Xu Zheng to be responsible, and he didn't have to do it himself, so he was idle for a while.

It seems that people always have to find something to do, Lin Xiaoguang has experienced Li Xiaoran's depression over the years, and felt that he was too strict, so he let her pick up an inspirational TV series.

Of course, the premise of Lin Xiaoguang asking Li Xiaoran to take over this play is because her character has no kiss scene or intimacy scene, otherwise don't even think about it.

Li Xiaoran is not at home, and her daughter often stays at her grandmother and grandfather's house, Lin Xiaoguang is often alone, so she has to go to the Beijing love story set to go around, wanting to take advantage of Cheng Sicheng's efforts to make movies and tease Dong Liya, but Dong Liya is also a big celebrity, not long after filming Beijing love story, she went to Hengdian to shoot a new scene.

Dong Liya is not in the crew, Aunt Jialing is overfamiliar again, and Ouyang Nana's hair has not grown yet, Lin Xiaoguang really can't be interested, so he went to his company to take a look.

Because the company always has samples and scripts sent by small directors and screenwriters, the quantity is quite a lot, but the quality is extremely poor, and it stinks.

stayed up like this for a week, and finally met a reliable screenwriter, who came to the door with a notebook to ask for investment.

The screenwriter's name is Zhang Ji, and the script has a very interesting name: dear child.

This Zhang Ji has thick eyebrows and small eyes, and wears a pair of black-framed glasses, but he was born in economics and wrote copywriting in a record company after graduation.

Because he has always liked movies, Zhang Ji began to contact the screenwriter industry in 2006, initially as a gunman, and this state lasted until he met Cheng Kexin.

Prior to this, the Chinese partner of his debut screenwriting film was stranded for a while due to financial problems, and it was not until he met Cheng Kexin that the film officially started last month.

And Dear Child is the second work written by Zhang Ji, and the first draft of the script has been written, because the subject matter is relatively unpopular, and it is also a lack of money and strength, and the owner has never been found.

He remembered to find a film and television company, and he also followed his friend's advice, saying that Lin Xiaoguang is a film and television company owner who likes to cultivate newcomers, as long as the book is good, he will survive.

"Huh!"

Lin Xiaoguang turned the page again, because he already knew that Zhang Ji was the screenwriter of Huaguo's partner, so he read the script very carefully, almost silently reading word by word.

First of all, the name of the dear child is the greatest interest, at first Lin Xiaoguang thought it was a warm script.

But Lin Xiaoguang turned a few pages, only to find that it couldn't be compared to the word "warmth", and this script was a rather heavy "abduction" theme.

It turned out that the script of dear child was adapted by Zhang Ji based on a "abduction" news from CCTV in the early years, telling the story of a husband and wife who had a discordant relationship and their son became their only contact, but one day, the child was lost inexplicably.

The husband and wife worked hard to find their children, and met many parents who were looking for their children like themselves on the road, and many shocking things happened.

In short, Lin Xiaoguang was immediately attracted by the story in the script, and it was the first time he saw a script with a non-traditional dramatic structure.

Dear Child changes the traditional drama structure, the first half of the play tells a story of finding a lost child, and the second half of the play changes to a different perspective, telling a story of gain and loss.

It can be said that this is one of the best scripts Lin Xiaoguang has seen in the past two years.

The office was very quiet, Zhang Ji didn't dare to say anything, waited anxiously and depressedly, and after another twenty minutes, Lin Xiaoguang finally put down his notebook and raised his head.

"Lin Dong, what do you think?" Zhang Ji immediately asked, subconsciously using honorifics.

"Very good!"

Lin Xiaoguang felt a heartfelt emotion and said with a smile: "Thank you for writing such a good story." ”

"Then Lin Dong, you ......," Zhang Ji said happily.

Without waiting for Zhang Ji to finish speaking, Lin Xiaoguang continued: "This is a heavy and meaningful work with a social theme, if you can trust me Lin Xiaoguang, you can rest assured that you can hand over this script to our company." ”

Hearing Lin Xiaoguang's affirmative answer, although Zhang Ji was happy, he was still a little worried.

Zhang Ji asked nervously, "Lin Dong, what do you mean?"

Lin Xiaoguang thought that Zhang Ji was asking about the price of his script, so he said bluntly: "The price is negotiable, as long as it is not too much, our light and shadow company bought your script." ”

"Lin Dong, that's not what I said. ”

Lin Xiaoguang asked suspiciously, "Then what do you mean?"

Zhang Ji Zhengse said: "I mean, I hope that this script can be directed by you yourself." ”

Lin Xiaoguang smiled, lit a cigarette, and asked with interest, "Why do you have to be a director?"

Zhang Ji thought for a while and said calmly: "Because you are the most box office appeal film director in our country, if you can direct this film, I believe that when the movie is released, many audiences will enter the cinema with your name." ”

"If it is changed to another director to shoot such an unpopular theme, no matter how good the shooting is, there may not be an audience to buy it. ”

Lin Xiaoguang understood what Zhang Ji meant, what Zhang Ji cared about most was not how much the script could sell for, but how many people would eventually read the script after it was made into a movie.

If there are few people watching the dear child movie after it is released, even if the script is sold at a high price, Zhang Ji will feel almost interesting.

In fact, screenwriter Zhang Ji's idea is also the original intention of most creators, so that more people can see their works and more people pay attention to the social phenomenon of "fighting abduction".

After Lin Xiaoguang thought for a moment, Fang said: "Yes, I am willing to direct it myself." ”

Zhang Ji was stunned at first, then reacted, and then stood up from the chair excitedly and said, "Really, Lin Dong, if you can direct this movie yourself, I can give you this script for free!"

Lin Xiaoguang spat out the smoke ring, waved his hand and said: "One yard to one yard, don't get excited, I will definitely give you the script money, but I also have a request." ”

"What do you ask?"

"I think your script is still a little flawed, and I need to take it back and brush it up. ”

Zhang Ji swore solemnly: "Lin Dong, don't worry, what I gave you today is only the first draft, mainly to determine the basic characters and structure, after I go back, I will make more adjustments in terms of details and rhythm." ”

Lin Xiaoguang nodded, and said, "In addition, I'll give you another suggestion." ”

"You say!"

"How about returning a dear child to be a dear?"

"Why?" Zhang Ji looked at Lin Xiaoguang in confusion.

In fact, the reason why Lin Xiaoguang changed the name of the dear child to dear.

is because Lin Xiaoguang thinks that the dear child is referred to as a child, which will make people think that this is a children's film, so he decided to omit the title.

After a pause, Lin Xiaoguang added: "If the title of the film is changed to dear, it will make people feel more atmospheric, and there are not as many children's scenes in the film as there are adults, adults sing the protagonists, and children are hidden in the film." ”

"You can also understand that because the child is lost, only the dear is left. ”

After listening to Lin Xiaoguang's poetic explanation, Zhang Ji had only one word for Lin Xiaoguang's evaluation: "Serve!"
