Chapter 718: Resolute
From seeing the show, collecting information, to obtaining authorization and completing the script, it only took a few months for the girl of the Han family to be so fast, because she was worried that the good topic would be selected by others.
Facts have proved that the concerns of the Han family girl are not superfluous, and not long after she got the authorization, some producers expressed their intentions to Lu Yong.
When writing this script, Handa had only graduated from the master's degree in directing at the Shaojing Film Academy for half a year, and had just begun to try to write scripts.
It took more than a month to complete the script, and she showed it to her first reader, her father Han Sanping.
Han Sanping didn't make much comments, only said, "The subject matter is not bad, you can show it to others, it's not ashamed." ”
So, when her daughter Han changed the second draft of the script, Han Sanping asked Lin Xiaoguang to come home.
Seeing Lin Xiaoguang's overjoyed look, Han Sanping smiled and asked, "How is it?"
"Third master, I'm really not boasting, this script written by your daughter is really lovely!"
"There is an old saying, tiger fathers have no dog girls, and they really live up to their reputation!"
Although he knew that Lin Xiaoguang was touting, Han Sanping couldn't help but laugh and said: "Haha, is it?
Lin Xiaoguang pondered for a while, now it is not a question of whether the movie can be sold for money, but whether the script can pass the review.
Like "I Am Not the God of Medicine", a realistic script that pokes at the pain points of society, it is usually difficult to pass the review of the Film Bureau, the reason, the main reason is that the impact is not good, now the people live and work in peace and contentment, the society is so harmonious, and the per capita GDP is so high, how can you shoot such a movie that insults the city?
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoguang asked worriedly: "Third master, do you think this script can pass?"
Han Sanping asked knowingly, "You mean content moderation, right?"
Lin Xiaoguang nodded: "Yes, Third Master, you know the review standards of the Film Bureau best." ”
Han Sanping pondered for a moment, and then said: "Xiaoguang, don't worry about this matter first, the standard of review is not immutable, you can take it to the bureau for review first, and I will help you improve." ”
"Let me ask you, if I give you this script to operate and make you into a movie, will it be successful?"
To be honest, this doesn't seem to be a subject that can have much commercial return, as an old Jianghu land Handan Sanping can't be unclear, even if his daughter writes it okay, no one may be willing to shoot.
So, with the simple idea of trying it out, even if it was just for professionals to give advice, Han Sanping helped his daughter Han send the script to Lin Xiaoguang.
"Third master, I personally think that the subject matter of this script is very, and it is completely operable. Lin Xiaoguang's affirmative answer made Han Sanping particularly surprised.
"But the third master, speaking of which, it is still a matter of script revision, if we take this script to be submitted for review, it is estimated that in the past two years, it may not be able to pass the review. ”
Lin Xiaoguang uses the word "modification" because the word "shot" is not used in the censorship dictionary, but instead "modified."
There are two types of "modifications": one is indefinite and the other is indefinite. The former one is well-intentioned and constructive, while the latter one is bloodless and polite to enter the cold palace.
In Lin Xiaoguang's directorial career, he has been fortunate to encounter both situations, and experience has told him that there are not many revisions, and 30 articles are not terrible, the more specific and more specific, the better the modification, which means that as long as you are obedient, you will be able to pass it.
I'm afraid of a few strokes, and the words are very abstract, for example: the overall feeling is a little negative, the tone is relatively gray, and there is a lack of positive force to guide it.
Seeing such comments, not only Lin Xiaoguang will feel a pain in the egg, but all directors will feel nervous, and the sweat will come down at that time.
Lin Xiaoguang often thinks about such a question, according to such standards, "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Siege of the City", including the works of drama masters Guan Hanqing and Mr. Lao She, should be "revised".
Han Sanping said earnestly: "I have already inquired about the audit for you, in the past two years, the tariffs on imported drugs related to cancer will be adjusted downward, and a group involving medical reform has also been established." ”
Looking at Han Sanping's confident appearance, Lin Xiaoguang couldn't help but sigh, this world is really amazing, there are always some people who can "predict" the direction of the policy outlet with great accuracy one step ahead.
Lin Xiaoguang pretended to be excited and said: "Third master, if the script of Ling Qianjin can be made into a movie, it will be great, and it may also promote the progress of reality, it is not only a victory in the selection of materials, but also a victory in the movie itself." ”
Han Sanping waved his hand and said: "Xiaoguang, don't say anything, you are one of the few film directors in our country who has never made a bad movie, I fully trust your level, I will solemnly make this Lu Ding for my daughter today, and leave this script to you to operate!"
"Don't let me down!"
Lin Xiaoguang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Third Master, I will definitely not live up to your expectations." ”
The day after he went back, Lin Xiaoguang held an emergency meeting in the company, and it can also be seen from here that Lin Xiaoguang attaches great importance to the script of "The Road of Life".
After so many years in the film industry, Lin Xiaoguang knows very well that it is difficult for him to encounter such a realistic theme, and the theme of the story presents the power of care, warmth and humanity, as well as a kind of hope presented in the end.
This is the second time he has encountered this kind of realistic story since he was in the film, the last time was "Dear" directed by him.
However, although the movie "Dear" has a good reputation, its results at the box office did not meet Lin Xiaoguang's expectations.
It is impossible to lose money, that is, to earn a little less, and the number of moviegoers is much less than that of comedies such as "Thai Embarrassment" and "Detective Chinatown", so this time, Lin Xiaoguang was smarter, and he decided to polish the script of "The Road of Life" more commercially.
At this screenwriter meeting, Lin Xiaoguang decided to divide the company's screenwriting team into three groups.
The first group is mainly responsible for the script writing and preparation of "Detective Chinatown 2".
The second group is mainly responsible for the script revision and writing of "The Road of Life (I Am Not the God of Medicine)".
The third group is mainly responsible for selecting, writing or purchasing original scripts suitable for film adaptation for the company.
Of course, "The Road of Life" is a script written by Han Sanping's daughter after all, so the leader of the second group, Lin Xiaoguang, handed it over to Han Sanping's daughter, Han Jianu.
After the meeting, Lin Xiaoguang interviewed the daughter of the Han family alone.
Although she is the daughter of Han Sanping, the character of the daughter of the Han family is very low-key and not ostentatious at all, which makes Lin Xiaoguang feel very surprised.
The only bad thing is that the appearance of the Han family girl is a bit like his father, and the facial features look tough, and there are some stiffness, and there are a little signs of plastic surgery.
After a few polite greetings, Lin Xiaoguang went straight to the point and said straight to the point: "Miss Hand, with all due respect, the first draft script of "The Road of Life" you wrote can only be regarded as a qualified literary film script. ”
Without waiting for the Han family girl to answer, Lin Xiaoguang continued: "So, I hope that we can change it from a literary film script with about 70 points to a relatively neat commercial film script." ”
The daughter of the Han family looked at Lin Xiaoguang half-knowingly: "Lin Dong, do you mean to change this tragic story to be better and more down-to-earth?"
"That's right, that's pretty much it. Lin Xiaoguang nodded, and said, "By the way, I made a movie called "Dear" before, I don't know if you have seen it?"
Handan said calmly: "I've seen it, it's a realistic movie about abduction." ”
