Chapter 53: Feelings
Looking at Liu Pian's smiling appearance, Wu Hao felt that he had to reorganize his cognition of this kid.
He thought that Liu Pian would walk in with arrogance, after all, they are talented, and this time the crew invited them over. But now it seems that this kid is quite talkative.
Zhang Han sat quietly on the side, silently drinking boiled water, waiting for the food to be served. He has the most contact with Liu Pian, what kind of fancy intestines does this kid have in his stomach, he knows more than the other two here....
"Mr. Liu, is it the first time you have come to Xiangjiang?" Wu Hao couldn't help but ask.
"Been here before. Liu Pian turned her back to Zhang Han and said with a smile, "Because I used to like the police and gangster films made by you and Director Xu, I trekked through mountains and rivers and made a special trip to Xiangjiang to watch the premiere." For example, the "Disc Case" a few years ago, I liked it very much. β
Wu Hao liked to listen to these words very much, and his impression of Liu Pian became better. Xu Ran's impression of Liu Pian has always been good, and said with a smile, "I said why did Mr. Liu write "Dark War", it seems that he knows our film culture in Xiangjiang very well." β

"Man, who doesn't like guns and fists?" Liu Pian looked longing, "My wish since I was a child is to be able to touch a real gun and experience the feeling of a handjob." β
"There is no real gun, but if there is a prop gun, our crew has it, and when the camera is turned on, Mr. Liu can have a good time. β
"Then it's a hassle for the director. β
"You're welcome. β
Another wave of deception points into the account, Liu Pian felt that this meeting gift was too kind.
At this time, the dishes were also served by the waiter one by one. Xu Ran and Wu Hao also ate while asking Liu Pian something about the content of the script. With the experience of watching the original movie, Liu Pian easily put forward his own opinions to the two directors.
However, he didn't understand the specific lens expression, so he could only put forward some opinions based on the plot.
After three rounds of dinner, the willow liar is very good at talking, and it is easy to give the two directors a good impression that this kid is very sensible and well-behaved.
During this period, Wu Hao also took out a cigarette and handed it to Liu Pian, Liu Pian hesitated for a moment, but still took it and lit it.
Since entering Jiangmei to study, after smoking once, Liu Cheng smelled the smell of smoke on Liu Pian's body, and reminded him to smoke less in order to protect his throat. Liu Pian didn't take this seriously before, because he heard the news that many singers have the habit of smoking, and even one of the smokers is still a tenor in China, and he has endured for many years.
In recent years, singers have taken a lot of drugs, and smoking is indeed not uncommon.
However, Liu Pian finally listened to Liu Cheng's advice and began to quit smoking.
There is systematic nerve stimulation, Liu Pian quit smoking, it is called a fast, and he quits smoking in a few days, so that when the old man of the teaching director blocked people in the toilet, he was very strange that there was no Liu Pian in the pile of "smokers"?
But now at the dinner, Liu Pian took it over in order to get along well. There is a system, and he is not worried about the problem of smoking addiction.
After sitting in this position, although Xu Ran and Wu Hao knew that Liu Pian was a student, they subconsciously didn't treat him as a student at all. The identity here is just a director and screenwriter.
At the end of the dinner, Xu Ran, who had a good conversation, suddenly asked: "Mr. Liu, why did you think of creating such two protagonists? A high-IQ criminal genius who is proficient in scams, a righteous policeman who is good at analyzing people's hearts, a seventy-two hour game, but in the end, the two turned enemies into friends, and you let the police let this liar go." β
Swindler.....
When Liu Pian heard Xu Ran say this, she realized that she had fallen into the system again.
It turns out that this broken system not only plays this set of songs smoked, but also smokes movies. It's just that at that time, Liu Pian was immersed in the plot and didn't think to define the protagonist "Hua" as a liar who loves to fool people.
Tsk, compared to other people, his deception is far behind.
"Because Hua has cancer, his life will not be long in coming, and he will not escape death if he is arrested and returned to the police station, so it is better to let him go. Wu Hao answered.
"It's just a point. Liu Pian added that he had seen the original movie and had more insights than those here who had only seen the paper version of the script. In that world, the superb performances of the two actors really shocked Liu Pian, and after watching it at the time, I felt a lot of emotions, and I didn't know what language to use to organize that feeling for a while.
It wasn't until Liu Pian copied the script and copied down the characters' dialogues and demeanors word by word, that he slowly organized the feelings in his heart into words.
"Maybe it's because of sympathy. Liu Pian smiled.
"Sympathy?" Xu Ran was stunned, "So, when I read the script at the time, I seemed to have such a feeling." β
"That's right, the sympathy between men and men, a kind of chess opponent will meet a good talent. Liu Pian said leisurely, "Maybe Hua's terminal illness is also part of the reason, but the main reason is that He Shangsheng (the policeman) can't bear to let his opponent die in the police station." β
Xu Ran and Wu Hao were both stunned, and after the two pondered carefully, they found that it was really like this, and they just cared about the various high-IQ duels in it before, and somewhat ignored the humanistic feelings of the film.
After figuring it out, the two looked at Liu Pian with even more strange eyes.
What kind of weird is this kid? Can he add such feelings to his high-IQ crimes?
Moreover, there is still an embarrassing love in the movie, right?
Thinking of this, Xu Ran's hand holding the wine glass tightened. He now knows what flavor he lacks in the script after letting others change it, but he lacks such a feeling!
Guns and fire are the melody of police movies, but humanistic feelings are the soul!
"Haha, Mr. Liu, it's really lucky for our crew to be able to come and shoot with the crew this time, I have a hunch that this movie will become a hit in Xiangjiang this year. β
Zhang Han doesn't know much about the decline of Xiangjiang movies, but Xu Ran has lived for forty years and still has some feelings. The current Xiangjiang films are immersed in all the glories of the past, and there is too much innovation missing. In the past, zombie films were popular, so zombie movies were made. worked nonsensically, and made nonsensical comedies, and later made police and gangster films.
There are many followers, which also created a hundred flowers in that generation of Xiangjiang films. But later, mainland films rose, Hollywood movies invaded, and Xiangjiang films had no stamina and gradually declined.
Until now, it is still tepid and uncompetitive.
In front of this "Dark War", Xu Ran made up his mind to shoot it as perfectly as possible. Among the old-fashioned films, this movie can definitely attract enough box office.
Liu Pian was also a little stunned when she saw Xu Ran so happy. He doesn't have as much consciousness as Xu Ran, but he simply thinks that this movie is really good, at least much better than the police and gangster movies on the market in Xiangjiang.
Police catch bad guys?
In this movie, the police let the bad guys go.
At the end of the chat, Xu Ran and Wu Hao left with satisfied smiles, and Liu Liar was also very satisfied.
Because Xu Ran's original remuneration for Liu Pian's follow-up this time was only a fixed hundreds of thousands, but now it has been changed to a box office dividend of 2%.
Liu Pian doesn't know how much money she can get in the end, but it should be more than hundreds of thousands.
......
After talking, the next day, Xu Ran had a light lunch with Liu Pian to discuss the script. According to the original painting of the original movie, Liu Pian said some of her feelings according to the gourd painting.
He doesn't know how to shoot, but he can still describe how the characters are played in the movie screen.
After that, Xu Ran continued to be busy with the formation of the crew and the recruitment of actors.
Regarding the selection of actors, he already had a candidate in his mind, and he made an appointment to contact Liu Pian before he came to Xiangjiang. Although Xu Ran has not made particularly brilliant achievements in movies, his qualifications for more than ten years are there, and he can be regarded as the number one person in the Xiangjiang film industry. Plus has a good temper and is quite popular.
The two protagonists he selected, one is an amphibious star in the Xiangjiang music and film industry: Liang Leyi. is the singer that Xiao Hei likes very much, and he was once fooled by Liu Pian for a wave.
Another actor who is also quite qualified: Hou Jiaming, who was once nominated for Best Actor at the Xiangjiang Film Awards, but did not win it in the end.
As for the role of half the heroine in the movie, he is going to find a second-tier actor to play it.
There is no way, the investment of the crew is not particularly much, less than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and I can't afford to invite too many big-name stars. A Liang Leyi costs tens of millions, but there is not so much money to spend on actors.
And while Xu Ran and Wu Hao were busy contacting each other, Liu Pian was playing in various scenic spots in Xiangjiang.
He also bought gifts for his parents, Aunt Xu, and Xiao Hei and other buddies, and was going to go back to give them to them.
This time I came to Xiangjiang, it was a preliminary negotiation, and we have to wait for the next year to start up. Now that things have been discussed, enough fun has been played, and the willow liar is ready to flash home.
......
On February 2, Liu Pian bought a ticket and prepared to fly back to Jiangcheng tomorrow morning.
When he came, Zhang Han picked him up, and when he left, Zhang Han sent him. In the evening, Zhang Han had a treat, and of course the Liu liar would not refuse such a good thing.
"What time are the tickets tomorrow morning?"
"Nine o'clock. β
"I'll pick you up then. β
"That's trouble. Liu Pian smiled.
"By the way, the actors have all been decided, right?" Liu Pian, as a screenwriter, still knows something. For example, Liang Leyi wants to play the role of Hua, and Liu Liar feels very satisfied. Maybe when the time comes, get a photo with Liang Leyi and go back to envy that little black guy.
"It was set, but now there's a little bit of an accident. Zhang Han sighed.
"Who's the accident?"
"Liang Leyi. Zhang Han said helplessly, "It has been preliminarily decided, and the contract is about to be signed." Who knew that Liang Leyi temporarily changed his hexagram and said that he was going to prepare the title song of the new album. β
"Title song?" Liu Piandan hurt, "This has nothing to do with acting, right, it won't be started until the next year, and a song can't be recorded for so long, right?"
"How could it be, because another entertainment company also approached him and promised to help him with the title song. The condition is to go to their crew to film. Moreover, the company and he are still in the negotiation stage, and have not signed a contract, so people have the right to choose. However, they have not signed a contract at present, and Liang Leyi should be in a wait-and-see state. β
Grip the sun, and this kind of operation? Liu Pian was quite speechless, "You Zedong don't have a song that you can handle?"
"Our company mainly makes movies, and there is too little involvement in the music industry. β
Liu Pian rubbed her head: "Is it just enough to write a song?"
"To put it lightly, the title song is not something that can be done casually, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to find the right song for so long. Zhang Han paused, and then looked at Liu Pian with flickering eyes, "You ask this, can you write?"
