Chapter 619: Snow Falls on Beiping

As the saying goes, the plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning.

Even if he doesn't do anything, when he stays at home, Lin Xiaoguang doesn't like to sleep lazily and waste time, he has always been used to getting up early and doesn't like to live idlely.

In addition, there are parents at home to help take care of him, Lin Xiaoguang nominally accompanies his wife and children at home, but behind the scenes, he still finds an opportunity to go out to have a tryst with Liu Yun, and then he will talk to people about new projects in the company.

In fact, before "Dear" was released, Lin Xiaoguang had already begun to think about what type of subject matter he should shoot in his next movie.

If he could, what Lin Xiaoguang wanted to shoot most in his heart was neither a comedy, nor a romance film, nor a horror film, but a tertiary film like "The Jade Girl's Heart Sutra".

However, there is no classification system in the mainland film market, and if Lin Xiaoguang really makes a movie like this, not only will it not be able to be released in theaters, but it is estimated that it will not even be able to pass the review of the Film Bureau.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoguang thought about it and finally decided to shoot a comedy.

It's not that Lin Xiaoguang doesn't want to make a movie with depth and thought, the key is that he hasn't encountered a good script, even if he has a good script, he can't pass the review, which is also a very severe test.

Moreover, what movie to shoot next, Lin Xiaoguang has already thought about it, so he will shoot Cheng Sicheng's "Detective Chinatown".

Taking advantage of the fact that Cheng Sicheng had not yet sent the script of "Detective Chinatown" to the Film Bureau for review, Lin Xiaoguang couldn't wait to meet Ren Peng, the screenwriter of "Hypnosis Master".

Because of Cheng Sicheng's "Detective Chinatown", Lin Xiaoguang only remembers the general plot, and he can't remember many details clearly.

And the reason why Lin Xiaoguang looked for Ren Peng, in addition to the fact that Ren Peng himself is a contracted screenwriter of light and shadow, is also because his specialty is to write reasoning and suspense stories.

After Lin Xiaoguang roughly told Ren Peng about his thoughts, Ren Peng asked puzzledly: "Lin Dong, when it comes to reasoning, in fact, I have seen most of the works, what kind of classic characters and templates do you want to set up the male protagonist according to a template?"

Lin Xiaoguang thought for a while and said calmly: "Actually, there is no template, I hope that we can create a very Chinese detective." ”

Ren Peng asked again: "Lin Dong, what you said is too general, can you describe it more specifically?"

Lin Xiaoguang nodded: "Yes, I hope you can write a detective duo this time, there must be two male protagonists, in order to make it easier to pass the trial, the story takes place in Thailand's Chinatown, and I have thought about the actors for you, that is, Wang Baoqiang and Liu Haoran." ”

"It's a bit similar to Sherlock Holmes and Watson, but their feelings are more like a teaser, to be exact, Watson is dispensable, and the BBC version may have aggravated some of the so-called CP feelings between the two, some personality complementarity. ”

"So, in the previous version of Conan Doyle, it was Sherlock Holmes who solved the case or something, and he and Watson were more like Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang. ”

"I hope that the two male protagonists are complementary in terms of personality and skills, and neither of them alone is enough to become a detective, or even have no primary or secondary. ”

Seeing that Lin Xiaoguang was so good at studying reasoning films, Ren Peng asked with interest: "Lin Dong, you usually like to watch reasoning, right?"

Lin Xiaoguang smiled and shook his head: "I've just seen some, how can I have so much time." ”

Ren Peng then asked: "Have you read the reasoning of "Murder in the Gymnasium"?"

Lin Xiaoguang said honestly: "I haven't actually seen it. ”

Ren Peng's heart tightened for a while when he heard this, so he asked Lin Xiaoguang: "Lin Dong, do you want to make our "Detective Chinatown" into a mystery film or a comedy?"

Lin Xiaoguang thought for a while and said meaningfully: "On the surface, it is expressed in the form of comedy, but at the same time, the content in it should have suspenseful reasoning. ”

Ren Peng nodded: "Okay Lin Dong, I probably understand your thoughts." ”

To be honest, Lin Xiaoguang knows very well that now is just an era of box office theory.

As a creator, Lin Xiaoguang's original intention is to graft and combine comedy and reasoning.

In fact, before that, the best way to do this theme may be the BBC's "Sherlock" version of the volume, but he has humor at best, not a comedy.

From the perspective of the market, it is not that the market needs comedy, but that the audience needs laughter, and everyone wants to go to the cinema to relax, not to use so many brains, they are willing to choose comedy, so as long as anything is named comedy, it will be easy to get box office success.

But after Lin Xiaoguang finished filming "Thai Embarrassment", he already deeply realized that if he just made an ordinary comedy, in addition to being easy to make money, it would be meaningless.

So, starting from the end of October, Lin Xiaoguang and Ren Peng discussed the context of the story again, and determined the relationship between the characters and the identities of the characters.

Then, Ren Peng began to write the script in retreat.

Lin Xiaoguang began to stay at home calmly with his wife and children.

In mid-November, according to Lin Xiaoguang's guidance, Ren Peng's first draft of the script was completed, and Lin Xiaoguang spent an afternoon reading the script, and then had a heated discussion with several screenwriters of the company.

After Lin Xiaoguang digested everyone's opinions for a week, he invited Ren Peng and another screenwriter, Xiaobai, into a closed environment, and the three of them advanced scene by scene for 10 consecutive days and wrote the second draft of the script.

At this time, Xiaobai and Ren Peng were full of confidence in the second draft of the script, and also thought that Lin Xiaoguang had a mature idea for the filming of the film.

But Lin Xiaoguang was still not satisfied with the script, thinking that the reasoning of the script was good, but the details were not funny enough, and offered to give him another 20 days to go through it from the beginning, and then use 10 days to polish it again with the three of them, until the three of them were beyond their ability, and then send "Detective Chinatown" to the Film Bureau for review.

I have to say that compared with other screenwriters who are half a bucket of water, Ren Peng is a serious movie screenwriter.

You must know that many screenwriters nowadays talk about the Tao, but doing it is completely different things, fooling themselves and others.

You ask him to write a book, and when you come up, you will make a price first, and you also declare in advance that you will only write one draft, which seems to be a great confidence in your writing ability.

But often when you pay, you get a stack of waste paper, which others tear down and rebuild, and cheekily ask for the name of the genus first.

This kind of incompetent and lazy screenwriter is not one or two, it is countless, and it is proliferating everywhere.

Some people think that Chinese New Year movies are very easy, as long as there are a few stars, occupy a New Year's file, and just find someone to save a script, but the audience doesn't buy it, and no one watches the movie when it is made.

The reason is simple, the script is not good.

And if you want to get a good script, you must choose a screenwriter who is serious and responsible, has no other work in hand, can spend more than half a year, works tirelessly, and is not afraid of trouble.

Such a screenwriter can't deal with a book casually.,A screenwriter who finishes his life in 20 days is a price.。

At present, many idiot producers, succumbing to the bullshit reputation of some bullshit stars, can casually make hundreds of thousands, but they have set a very low limit on the price of an excellent screenwriter from their hearts.

In their eyes, it seems that as long as there are stars, everything is already fine. Don't you know that in the domestic and local film market, except for Ge You, there are no actors who really have box office appeal.

So Lin Xiaoguang thinks that those producers are idiots, and they are self-inflicted on losing money.

Obviously, Lin Xiaoguang would not make such a mistake, and Ren Peng is such an excellent screenwriter worthy of his appointment.

Moreover, Lin Xiaoguang always believes that the reasonable price of a good script should never be less than the charge of a star.

Therefore, after "Detective Chinatown" was successfully submitted for trial, Lin Xiaoguang not only gave Ren Peng a million red envelopes, but also gave a lot of bonuses to the screenwriter team who participated in the advice.

It's the middle of December.

Finally, Ren Peng called and told Lin Xiaoguang that his third draft was nearing completion, and after making an appointment with Lin Xiaoguang for Christmas, everyone would gather and use collective wisdom to polish the script for the final polish.

On December 16, snowflakes outside the window were all over the sky, falling one layer after another, and the entire capital was covered with snow.

Lin Xiaoguang woke up from his sleep, looked at Xiao Ran, who was sleeping peacefully beside him, and looked at her getting bigger and bigger belly, and more and more plump **, which has developed towards the trend of E cups......

Looking at Li Xiaoran's chest rising and falling with his breathing, it was so mature and attractive, Lin Xiaoguang's lifeline was hard again, and he couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it...

However, Lin Xiaoguang thought about it, sighed again, took his hand back, and then stretched his waist and tiptoed off the bed.

It's not that he doesn't want to be intimate with Li Xiaoran, but Lin Xiaoguang feels that it's too troublesome to do that with a big belly, whenever he is about to reach the peak, Lin Xiaoguang is still unsatisfied in his heart, and he almost doesn't dare to exert himself, for fear that Li Xiaoran will have a fetal gas.

Recently, the snow has been falling very frequently, and after Lin Xiaoguang got up, he looked at the yard, and called his daughter Lin Jinyu from the bed, and the father and daughter built a snowman together.
