"Hehe, your Lao Zhao has a high status and a big identity, how can you have time to act in this kind of grass stage team, or we are bitter and get along with Chenzi, so they show us the script first. ”

Chen Ting looked at Zhao Jianguo, who was killed halfway, and couldn't help but make fun of him.

The two of them are also old acquaintances, and they have worked together four or five times.

"What is my status and identity, it's just that the audience enjoys food and gives me some face to live in this industry. ”

Don't look at Zhao Jianguo, who is very strict with young actors on weekdays. But in front of an old-timer like Chen Ting, he has always put himself very low.

Peng Yichen prepared a lot of scripts, and hurriedly handed one to Zhao Jianguo.

"I didn't think that your schedule was too tight, so I wouldn't trouble you with such a small movie!" Peng Yichen explained with a smile.

In fact, he knew in his heart that as long as Zhao Jianguo read this book, it would be impossible not to participate.

But after all, people are big names in the circle, and it's one thing to not look down on their movie scripts, and it's another thing to be able to play a role.

After speaking, Peng Yichen handed the remaining script in his hand to the other 8 actors.

Everyone saw that Chen Ting and Zhao Jianguo had already read the script with relish, and they all buried themselves in reading the script.

The script is not very long, only about ten pages, and there are two pages in the middle about the requirements for sets, lighting, and cinematography. The specific plot is only 8 pages long.

But everyone watched it for a long time, and a few even watched it two or three times.

After reading this short page of script, all the actors present realized that this must be a classic movie, and it may even become great.

In a small conference room, in the summer when the fan was broken and the window was open, 12 jurors of different ages and identities from all walks of life in China sweated profusely in the confined room to engage in a fierce and wonderful debate on a murder case.

Peng Yichen's adaptation of "Twelve Warriors", the main framework is basically from the original Star Flag Country's "Twelve Angry Men".

In addition to changing the jury to a hearing panel according to the actual situation in Huaxia, and changing the defendant from a bad boy in the slum to the biggest problem group in Huaxia at the moment - left-behind children, the other plots are basically arranged according to "Twelve Angry Men".

Many people think that the original version of "Twelve Angry Men" is not as wonderful as the Russian version of "Twelve Angry Men", because in the original movie, the identity and background of each juror are extremely vague, and there is basically no show of the trial process of the defendant juvenile.

In the Russian version of "Twelve Angry Men", basically every juror has a realistic background to show, and there is a certain scene description of the defendant's juvenile trial and his life.

But in Peng Yichen's view, this is precisely the key reason why the Russian version of "Twelve Angry Men" is not as good as the original classic.

The director wanted to constantly reinforce the emotional conflict and social responsibility of the film, but he just forgot one point.

"Twelve Angry Men" is not a didactic film about social responsibility, moral responsibility, he is not to show the moral and legal consciousness of the twelve jurors, he is not even to show whether the defendant teenager is really guilty.

He is a microcosm of society as a whole, without identity and background, and it is precisely the elaboration of the soul of the film.

No person, no emotion, no morality, no emotion is higher than the procedure, and the justice of the procedure does not lie in its absolute fairness, but in the day when any of us is the defendant. There are 12 people who follow the procedural regulations and eliminate all possible doubts before the final verdict can be made.

This is the guardian and final checkpoint of the operation of the whole society and the legal order.

Zhao Jianguo couldn't help but be excited from the first scene of the script, but when he saw the last page, he calmed down. He thought a lot, thought of the various chaos that had occurred in society in the past few years, and thought of the far-sighted introduction of the jury system by the Chinese government.

This is not a simple movie, don't look at only a simple scene, more than a dozen actors, but the deep connotation of this movie can almost encompass the entire society and the entire era.

This is an ambitious work that could become a classic.

"Lao Chen, whether the actors from your Chang'an Film Studio can act, if you don't want to act, I'll call a few old buddies from Kyoto to act, what do you think?"

Zhao Jianguo watched Chen Ting finish reading the script and asked with a smile.

"What's going on? Hehe, it's not good! Do you think I'm stupid? An actor can encounter such a book in his life, and he is fortunate to have three lives. It's a knife in the sky, and a few of our buddies will also play this book. ”

Chen Ting's answer was categorical, and he didn't give Zhao Jianguo room to turn around at all.

Zhao Jianguo smacked his lips, "I knew you didn't want to." It's a pity, it's a pity, I said Tatsuko, why didn't you show me such a good script first?"

Chen Ting didn't wait for Peng Yichen to explain, and said with a smile: "Give it to you first?"

After speaking, Chen Ting ignored Zhao Jianguo's complaints, turned his head and asked Peng Yichen.

"Tatsuko, I see that among the cast and crew, there are no candidates for camera, lighting, props, and art behind the scenes, and the crew can't work without these people. ”

"You're always an expert, and I won't hide it from you. Originally, I wanted to find a few familiar buddies in the crew of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" to do it. But in the past few days, director Chen Guozhong has accelerated the filming progress again. They couldn't pull away. I'm worried about that, too. ”

"I've seen that you have a lot of positions in this movie, and if you don't have a smart and capable team to help you, it will tire you out. Chen Ting thought about it for a while.

"You go to the old director's house this afternoon, although he is retired, talking in the Chang'an studio still works. As long as he supports and lends a few people from the factory, the crew of this film will be successfully formed. ”

Chen Ting was very thoughtful for Peng Yichen.

"Who is this old factory director? No one knows me, can they help me so much?" Peng Yichen asked.

Without waiting for Chen Ting to explain, Zhao Jianguo laughed and laughed.

"Hahahaha, Tatsuko, this is your nonsense. I also know this 'old factory director'. He is the godfather of the fifth generation of Chinese directors, without him, there would be no today's Chen Guozhong, today's Zhang Reform, and the glory of Chinese films in the 90s. ”

"Is he?"

"Wu Tianliang, the former director of Chang'an Film Studio, is a great director respected by all Chinese film and television people. His most classic film, Sichuan Opera, has won more than 50 international film awards. He took the risk to support a group of fifth-generation directors such as Chen Guozhong and Zhang Gai to shoot their debut films. This person is using his life to love Huaxia films and promote the development of Huaxia films. You said he would not support you in making this film. ”

Chen Ting looked at Peng Yichen with a smile and introduced him to a respected filmmaker, the godfather of the five generations of Chinese directors, Wu Tianliang.
