Communication is very important to the performance of actors, whether it is a movie or a TV series, it is inseparable from communication in the process of performance.

As a result, in the following days, the training of the 01 form book became a variety of communication exercises, impromptu communication in one sentence, silent communication, impromptu communication for tasks, and so on.

After teaching, Zhang Ran naturally will not be idle, he spent a week sorting out the content of "Bursting Drummer" and completed the first draft of the script.

At this time, there are still many problems in the script, which need to be polished, especially the lines, which need to be polished repeatedly. However, after the first draft was written, Zhang Ran was a little worried that the script would not pass the review, although many domestic audiences regarded "Burst Drummer" as an inspirational work, but it is impossible to deny that the story is indeed dark.

Therefore, Zhang Ran plans to ask Zheng Dongdong to help him, Zheng Dongdong is a member of the film review committee, and he should have a relatively clear judgment on whether he can pass the review.

When Zhang Ran came to Zheng Dongdong's office with the script, Zheng Dongdong was sitting on a chair, leisurely drinking tea.

When he saw Zhang Ran coming in, he put down the teacup and asked with a smile, "Zhang Ran, why do you have time to come to me?"

Zhang Ran stretched out his nose and sniffed in the air, and said with a smile: "I smelled the good smell of Huangshan Maofeng, so I came in to fight the autumn breeze." Teacher Zheng, you can't hide good tea alone!"

Zheng Dongdong laughed: "You kid really has a dog nose, you can smell it from such a distance!" As he spoke, he turned out the tea leaves, poured a glass of water, and put it in front of Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran was not in a hurry to drink tea, and put the script in front of Zheng Dongdong: "Recently, I got another notebook, I don't know if you are always free, can you help me check it?"

"You have a book so soon, it's not a long time, is it?" Zheng Dongdong didn't expect to have a new book so soon, a little surprised. Scripts are generally written slowly, often taking months.

Zheng Dongdong is very interested in Zhang Ran's script, Zhang Ran is an outlier, and his creative ideas are very different from those of domestic directors, which is completely the way of the United States. Now Zhang Ran has taken out another script, he wants to see what different story Zhang Ran has written this time.

"It's not that I'm talking big, the effect of the shooting is definitely better than "Time Prisoner". Zhang Ran said confidently.

"It's not going to be a science fiction movie again, right?" Zheng Dongdong looked at the name of the script, what does "Whipping" mean? It's a bit weird!

"No, it's about music, it's about success!" Zhang Ran picked up the cup and felt that the tea was fragrant, and after taking a sip, he felt that his lips and teeth were fragrant, and it was really good tea.

Zheng Dongdong nodded and slowly flipped through the script.

When Zheng Dongdong finished reading the script, his brows furrowed: "This story is very different from "Time Prisoner", "Time Prisoner" is warm, but this story is a bit dark, even terrifying, this teacher wants to put the students to death, how can there be such a teacher?"

Zhang Ran had a black line: "This is just a story, it has nothing to do with reality, Mr. Zheng, you think too much." I wonder what you think of this story?"

Zheng Dongdong pondered for a moment and said: "This story is a tribute to Kubrick's "Full Metal Shell", the instructor in "Full Metal Shell" is very similar to the teacher Chen Wei you wrote, which makes me have the illusion of watching "Full Metal Shell", the coach in "Full Metal Shell" was killed because he forced people too hard, and the teacher in "Whipping" forced his students to commit suicide because he pressed too hard, and also forced himself out of school. Why are you filming this story?"

Zhang Ran was stunned, the original version of "Burst Drummer" was indeed influenced by "Full Metal Shell", he thought that a teacher of Zheng Dongdong's age was more conservative and didn't like American movies, but he didn't expect Zheng Dongdong to be able to tell the origin of the characters in one mouth, and the old-timers should not be taken lightly! A rookie director like me can't afford to lose, if the first movie smashes the pot at the box office and loses money, then there will be no future. If you can win the award abroad, you can sell the overseas copyright, and it will be easier to return the capital. ”

Zheng Dongdong knew that Zhang Ran was telling the truth, now that the domestic film market is sluggish, there are few opportunities for new directors. If you can't make money, people in the circle will know that this director is losing money, and no one will invest anymore, Zhang Ran really can't afford to lose, he must return to his original cost in this film.

But how difficult it is for the movie to return to its original cost, now domestic directors dare to pat their chests and say that my film will not lose money, and there are only two who can definitely make money, Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang. Zhang Yimou's "My Father and Mother" and "Happy Times" are not good at the domestic box office, and some media have begun to call him box office poison. There is only one person who can really rely on the domestic market to recover the cost - Feng Xiaogang!

Winning awards and selling copyrights is the best choice for new directors like Zhang Ran, and for these film festivals, it is easier for small-budget films with a stronger artistry, a higher degree of realism, and a little more reflection of the dark side of society to win awards. Because the relative cost of the movie is low, as long as it can win awards, it can often be sold at a good price. Domestic independent directors, like Jia Zhangke, none of their films have been released in China, but their lives are very nourishing, which is the reason.

"I like your story very much, if it is filmed and sent to foreign competitions, there is indeed a hope of winning awards. The character of the teacher Chen Wei has been reversed at least four times in just 100 minutes, at first he seems to be an eccentric teacher, then he reverses into a tyrant with sadistic tendencies, then reverses into a well-intentioned strict teacher, and then reverses into a narrow-minded villain, and at the end of the film, when Zhou Zheng shocked the audience with a magical performance, Chen Wei is like a loving father who wants his son to become a dragon, which is very interesting. Zheng Dongdong looked up at Zhang Ran and said very seriously, "But this character is relatively dark, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the trial!"

None of the directors like censorship, and they basically hate it, and censorship does make filmmakers' creativity feel restricted. However, from the perspective of protecting teenagers, Zhang Ran can barely understand that some of the scenes in some movies are too violent and bloody, and they are indeed not suitable for teenagers to watch.

However, a game must have rules, as long as everyone respects the rules, the game will not have too many problems, and it can be played well. But if there are no rules in the game, it's all the dealer's final say, I say that if you violate the rules, you will violate the rules, and if I let you out, then there will be no way to finish.

The really scary thing about film censorship is that there are no rules, and no one knows what can't be made, so a movie is likely to be banned for no reason. For example, Wang Xiaoshuai's "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" was banned in China, and the censorship opinion was that the film reflected some of the chaotic hutongs in Beiping, which affected the Olympic bid.

Zhang Ran was originally worried about this, but when he heard Zheng Dongdong's words, he still chuckled in his heart: "In the end, the teacher and the student released their previous suspicions, and they met with a smile and a grudge, but they still couldn't pass the trial?"

Zheng Dongdong shook his head and said: "The key is that the teacher's image is too dark, he really wants to destroy the students, your script will be stuck in the education department, for the education department, you are smearing the glorious image of the people's teacher!"

Zhang Ran was stunned: "Education department, how can this matter be related to the education department?"

Zheng Dongdong smiled when he heard this: "It seems that you don't know enough about our domestic censorship system, in China, you need to be recognized by the electric power department, you need to be approved by the industrial department to write about the industry, and you have to get the consent of the public security department to shape the police. Now the status quo of domestic films is that whichever industry you write about, they will come to review the film in a grand manner. It's all right to sing their praises, but if you expose them, you'll be sorry!"

Zhang Ran knew about the censorship system and the film review committee, but he hadn't really been in contact with it, and he wasn't particularly clear about it, and he was dumbfounded when he heard Zheng Dongdong's words at this moment: "This is too outrageous, right?"

"This year, CCTV had a TV series "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea", which was not allowed to be filmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at first, and later the Americans wanted to commemorate the Korean War. CCTV approached the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and said, "Why don't we do it if the Americans dare to commemorate the Korean War?" The film was filmed for more than a year, and after review, I thought it could be broadcast, but it turned out to be a 911. The Foreign Office has come out again to speak, and we cannot rub salt in the wounds of the American people in the 911 incident. "To Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea," which was originally scheduled to be broadcast in October, was not allowed to be released! CCTV is still like this in such a large unit, let alone you, an ordinary person! It's okay for you to make entertainment comedies, you can eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and the leaders don't care. Once it comes to them, it's troublesome. Let me tell you this, it's a good thing that a film doesn't have the care of the higher departments, as long as you pay attention to it, it's troublesome!"

Zhang Ran was dumbfounded when he heard it, he always thought that the review was the business of the General Administration, but he didn't expect that there would be so many doorways in the back, which was too much!
