Many projects are often inspired by directors or producers, who write a first draft and then hand it over to a professional screenwriter to polish into a script. Therefore, the first draft of the script is generally very simple, basically just used to write the overall context of the story, and there is a basic starting point and a complete plot.

Mu Ming was born in writing, and she has the memory of the movie in her mind, although she has forgotten a lot of details, but the general plot is still there, so she wrote the first draft quickly. In just three or four days, the first draft was taken out.

"This book, you wrote it?" Du Yang looked at the first draft script that Mu Ming gave her in his hand, and after spending more than twenty minutes browsing it, he looked at Mu Ming suspiciously.

"What's the matter?" Mu Ming asked with a winkful innocent gaze.

"There's no problem, it's just ......" Du Yang put the script on the table: "That's it, your story is based on New Oriental's entrepreneurship, right?"

"You can see it. ”

"Nonsense, you almost changed the names of the three male protagonists directly to Yu, Wang, and Xu. Du Yang said angrily.

"Actually, it can't be said that it is written about New Oriental. Mu Ming explained: "In terms of characters, I did refer to the life experiences of those people. But for the structure of the story, I refer to "The Social Network". And the essence of the story is ...... It should be said that it is the meaning, which is unique to our Eastern society. ”

In fact, some people complained in their previous lives that the plots of "Chinese Partner" and "Social Network" are similar to each other. For example, they are all the cooperation between a turtle and an elite (Meng Xiaojun is an elite compared to Cheng Dongqing), the initial motivation for creation is its own failure (Cheng Dongqing's "too much" English and Zuckerberg's social fear), the partners all have different development concepts, and in the end they all part ways because of this, and the elite partners are finally hollowed out of power by the original turtles......

If you think about it, there are a lot of similarities.

But think about it from another angle, just like there are similar routines in successful novels, and the success of successful people, you are not allowed to have similar routines?

For example, Cheng Dongqing's first girlfriend wanted to go to the United States and have a relationship with him, which was his resentment. Then, shouting the slogan of "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the poor youth", began his own upgrade, ah no, his own hard work.

Starting from the little people, he "crossed the challenge" along the way, passed the level at all levels, and also recruited friends who struggled together. In the end, when facing the biggest dilemma and the most difficult boss, the small universe exploded, and the protagonist's aura was fully opened and he won.

Hmm-when Mr. Xu Xiaoping was in retreat to create a story, did he just finish reading the novel on Dianniang?

Du Yang nodded, she was not interested in what the story referenced in the creation, as long as it was not plagiarism. On the contrary, she is quite satisfied with the story that Mu Ming came up with, and with her experience, as long as she finds a reliable director, it should be good.

In addition to administrative management, Du Yang has also worked in film and television production for more than ten years, and it is difficult to say anything else, she can still see the quality of a story.

"But ......" Du Yang patted the script on the table: "I originally thought that if you wrote, you might write a magical or youth story, but I didn't expect that you, a young man born in the 90s, would write such an entrepreneurial story in the eighties and nineties." ”

"It's too underestimating our post-90s. Mu Ming said without shame: "I really haven't experienced that era, but it doesn't mean that I can't understand it." It's like there are so many historical stories, and they don't necessarily live from that to the present, right?"

“…… I think there's something wrong with what you're saying, but I don't even know how to refute you. Du Yang rolled his eyes and glanced at Mu Ming.

Mu Ming grinned.

"That's right, Sister Du Yang. Mu Ming said expectantly: "Look, which director is better to find for this story." Mu Ming has not forgotten that the most important purpose of writing this book is to see how the great director makes movies.

"Oh?" Du Yang looked at Mu Ming with a smile on his face and said, "Then which director do you want to find?"

"This, I think director Chen Kaige is good, this kind of theme is quite suitable for him, but director Feng Xiaogang should also be able to do it, commercial films, or find a reliable director of commercial films; if not, director Zhang Yimou is also okay, but his film style is a little bit mismatched with this drama, but he is also a big director, and he should be able to deal with it. Mu Ming frowned and thought seriously.

"Hehe!" Du Yang laughed: "Then, do you want to consider Director Wang Jiawei, he is quite good at filming the feelings between urban characters, or, I also know a few people in the United States, help you invite Director Li Yan." ”

"Tsk!" Mu Ming naturally heard Du Yang's mocking tone, and said dissatisfiedly: "Fantasy! I know that if I can't invite these directors, it's not okay to fantasize." Besides, you can invite you to try it, people always have to have a great goal, in case hell it happens. ”

“…… Mu Ming, I actually really like to chat with you. ”

"Why? Because of my handsome appearance, or my witty wisdom. ”

"Because...... It is said that 'irritability' is a sign of youth, and every time I talk to you, I feel like I'm getting younger again. ”

"Ha......" Mu Ming laughed dryly, I really didn't expect that young lady, you also have the talent to complain.

"Okay, let's be serious. Du Yang's face was straight: "Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige are at the same level, even if we directly smash the salary, it is not easy to invite, and there is no need to delay time." It's better to think about being more reliable. ”

"Then, director Chen Kexin, the stories of his movies are all well told, and it feels quite suitable for the style of my book. Mu Ming directly moved out the original director.

"Chen Kexin?" Du Yang thought for a few seconds and nodded: "Well, indeed, Director Chen is quite good. Among these directors of Xiangjiang who went north, he is the best fit with the mainland audience's one-pound film market. Okay, then let's send him an invitation first. If it doesn't work then, find someone else. ”

"Well, there's no need to worry, our focus is still on "Thai Embarrassment". Mu Ming told Du Yang: "It's not just investment, the relationship between Shuimu and Perfect Film and Television has always been good, and it is just through this movie that our studio can also accumulate experience and qualifications in production and distribution." ”

"I know. Du Yang nodded, and looked at Mu Ming suspiciously: "However, you are so optimistic about the movie "Thai Embarrassment". I admit that the combination of Xu Zheng, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang is very good, and the 'embarrassment' series is also very attractive to the audience. But Xu Zheng is a rookie director after all, and such an ordinary road comedy, no matter how high the box office is, it will be three or four billion. ”

"Wow, that's a big deal. Three or four hundred million is also a very high box office, okay, this movie plus publicity, at most fifty or sixty million. Mu Ming raised her eyebrows and said, "Moreover, who knows if he will surprise us." Just like the original "33 Days of Broken Love", before its release, we thought it would be very good to have a box office of 50 or 60 million. ”

"That's because I'm ignoring your 'miracle maker' vision. Du Yang smiled: "Then please excuse you, this 'miracle', can you come to the company more often when you are okay and help us ordinary people reduce the burden." ”

"Who said I'm fine, I'm busy. Mu Ming raised her hand and looked at the watch that didn't exist on her wrist: "It's only been two days, I still have to go to the premiere of a movie." ”

"Movie?

"A literary film called "Liu Rushi". ”
