readx;? In the conference room of the pinnacle of the century, a meeting was being held at this time, Wu Ruide, Qiu Yuanxu, Ning Hao, Ding Sheng, and the heads of the film and television departments were all there. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoToday's meeting mainly discusses Ning Hao's next films, as well as Ding Sheng's script.

At the beginning of the meeting, Zhang Ran went straight to the point: "Ning Hao, tell me about your ideas!"

Ning Hao cleared his throat and said: "That's the case, last year, "Time and Space Warrior" premiered in Cannes, and an event was held, and ten lucky audiences from China were selected to attend the premiere of the movie in Cannes. I was inspired by this event, and I was going to make a road comedy called Crazy Travel. The actor is the lucky audience of the premiere of "Time Warrior 2" in Cannes, he and other lucky audience members arrived in Paris, ready to take the Eurostar train to Cannes, but unexpectedly separated from the others, because of him, a pair of French directors who were preparing to go to Cannes and his daughter were separated, so our male protagonist not only did not take the little girl on the road, but went to Cannes. The actor doesn't know French, the little girl doesn't know English, and it is very difficult for the two to communicate, but they have to go on the road together, so there are many troubles and jokes along the way. Eventually, they made it to Cannes, where the little girl found her father, and our male protagonist attended the premiere of the film. That's what I think, what do you think?"

Everyone thinks that Ning Hao's idea is good, and it is a typical road movie. A road flake is like a piece of pizza that can be filled with any flavor. Coppola, Spielberg and others have all dabbled in this field. The comedy-themed road movies have strong commercial attributes and are particularly easy to be accepted by the audience, and Ning Hao's story should be good at the box office.

"It sounds interesting, I think we can do it, and we have a good relationship with Europa Pictures, so we can bring them together. ”

"Road comedy is a particularly mature genre abroad, and it is also particularly popular with audiences. "Crazy Stone" has proven that comedy has a big market in China, and I think it can be made!"

Wu Ruide raised his own questions: "If the whole movie is filmed in France, the cost will be relatively high, and the comedy is relatively regional, and it is difficult to sell overseas copyrights, and the risk of the film will be relatively large!"

Ning Hao immediately said: "I am going to find Zhou Xingchi to act in this play, if Zhou Xingchi comes to act, the box office will definitely be fine!"

Hearing that Zhou Xingchi was invited to act, everyone's eyes lit up, but Zhou Xingchi is notoriously difficult, and now he is not short of money, it is very difficult to move him. Wu Ruide said: "Zhou Xingchi has never acted in other people's plays since "The King of a Thousand Kings 2000", he has written, directed and acted by himself, can you move him?"

Ning Hao looked very confident: "Zhou Xingchi is reluctant to act in other dramas, that is because Director Xiangjiang's creation is too patterned, and the roles they give Zhou Xingchi are much the same. Zhou Xingchi didn't say it in "The King of Comedy", he is an actor. No actor likes to repeat! My play is different from Zhou Xingchi's previous plays, and the roles are completely different, and I believe he will be interested! On the day of the premiere, he also told me that he would have the opportunity to cooperate in the future!

Everyone thinks that Ning Hao's words make sense, it's not that Zhou Xingchi doesn't want to play other people's plays, but these people's plays are not worth him at all, if there is a good script and a good role, he should be interested, after all, he is an actor!

Zhang Ran didn't speak, his fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, his eyes contemplative. Ning Hao's story is very similar to a movie "Bean's Golden Week" that has not yet been made. "Bean's Golden Week" is about Mr. Bean who wins the first prize in the lottery and gets to Cannes for free. After arriving in Paris, he was on a Eurostar ride to Cannes when a Russian director, father and son, became separated and Bean had to take the little boy on the road.

It doesn't matter if "Bean's Golden Week" comes out a few years later, but he remembers that the film began to be filmed on the occasion of Cannes' 60th anniversary. In other words, it will be started in May next year, and if Ning Hao shoots next year, there will be a crash. To shoot or not to shoot?

After a short period of thought, Zhang Ran felt that it should be filmed, "Crazy Journey" is about the actor going to Cannes to participate in the premiere of "Time Soldier 2", and the whole movie can be seen as a marketing advertisement for "Time Soldier 2". As for the crash, the story is indeed relatively similar, but "Crazy Journey" originates from the true story of the lucky audience who went to Cannes to attend the premiere of "Time and Space Warrior", "Bean's Golden Week" has no reason to accuse Ning Hao of plagiarism, in fact, Ning Hao did not plagiarize, and it is impossible for him to plagiarize a future movie.

It is also very interesting to let the king of comedy in the East and the West make a similar movie and have a big PK!

Zhang Ran knocked the table and said, "Since you want to cooperate with Zhou Xingchi, then you'd better go to him from the beginning and create the script together, lest the script be written, but Zhou Xingchi is not interested, it will be in vain." Also, it's better to find a screenwriter from France and write it together. It's a story about communication between people, it's about a clash of cultures, which might have been difficult to write without the involvement of the French side!"

Ning Hao nodded: "I know!"

Zhang Ran's eyes looked at Ding Sheng and asked, "Ding Sheng, did you bring your script?"

"Bring!" Ding Sheng opened his bag, took out a stack of scripts, and distributed them to everyone present, "This is the script I wrote, if you can, I hope to be able to shoot this movie." ”

"Let's read the script first, and then we will discuss it after reading the script!" Zhang Ran looked at the cover of the script, and there were two words "redemption" written on it, and then he opened the script and looked.

Ding Sheng was a little nervous in his heart, holding the cup and drinking water. He originally studied film art, but after graduating from Nortel, he worked with two groups as an artist, and he stopped the idea of making movies, because it was very hard to do film art, and there was not much room for creation. After that, he worked in business for five years, and finally found that he was not suitable for business, and still wanted to make movies.

A classmate funded Ding Sheng to shoot his debut film "Fuss", but the box office failed miserably, not only making the classmate lose money, but also taking all the 300,000 yuan he earned from five years of business into it. The failure of the small test and the instant bankruptcy made Ding Sheng feel extremely frustrated.

After learning from the pain, Ding Sheng realized that his ability was not enough to become a film director, and decided to go back to school to make up for what he lacked as a director. After a year of advanced study, he won the favor of Lady Luck and became Zhang Ran's assistant director. Ding Sheng followed Zhang Ran's three plays, and had a new understanding of the structure of Hollywood scripts, the management of the crew, and the use of lenses, and he felt that he had opened up about the director.

However, the failure of "Fuss" made Ding Sheng feel uneasy, afraid of failure again, he knew that if he failed again, I am afraid it would be difficult to get the opportunity to direct alone in the future. So he has been writing scripts and revising them repeatedly in the past two years, and he hopes to be an instant hit like Ning Hao did when he filmed "The Heartbreaker". Before the script was thoroughly polished, he didn't dare to take it out easily to meet people.

Zhang Ran was stunned after reading a few pages, Ding Sheng's story is also an uncle and a little Lori. Then looking down, he found that the whole story is very close to the American movie "Furious Rescue", if "Crazy Stone" is the Chinese version of "Two Big Smoking Guns", then Ding Sheng's story is the Chinese version of "Furious Rescue".

"Redemption" tells the story of Interpol Li Jie, who witnessed the death of his wife and daughter when he was on a mission, and he was deeply stimulated to live a life of isolation. There's a little girl in the neighbor.,Mother is a dancer.,Don't care enough about the child.,The child often goes to the hero's house to eat.,The child and the hero have a friendship.。 The little girl's mother stole drugs from the underworld and was later killed by the underworld, and the little girl was also kidnapped by the underworld. So the protagonist went on a killing spree, leveled the gang, and rescued the little girl.

Ding Sheng's story is very similar to "Furious Rescue" starring Denzel Washington, and at the same time has a bit of an old Hong Kong film feeling, most of the people present feel that the story is very well written, and it will be a very good movie.

"The story is very exciting, it feels like "Furious Rescue", it will definitely look good when it is filmed, this movie is worth making!"

"yes, I think I can shoot it!"

Ning Hao was not too satisfied with the script: "I think the story is a bit rough, the relationship between the characters in the first half of the story is not enough, and there is a lack of interaction between the characters, so everything Li Jie did for the little girl seems a little unconvincing!"

Ding Sheng also knew that the script was not perfect enough, but he still couldn't sit still when he heard Ning Hao say this, looked at Zhang Ran, and said, "Director, what do you think?"

Zhang Ran flipped through the script in his hand: "The story is a good story, but it is rough and needs to be polished. Ning Hao is right, the front is not paved enough. In fact, the overall rhythm of the script is right, and when the plot appears is stuck according to the model of the Hollywood script, but why does it give people the feeling that it is not enough? The main reason is that the interaction between the little girl and Li Jie lacks meaning, for example, the little girl in the story asks Li Jie to buy ice cream, which gives people the feeling that the little girl is greedy, which does not have much significance for character building. Can we arrange it like this, the little girl asked Li Jie to borrow money, but Li Jie refused her. Unexpectedly, the next day, he met the little girl who was caught stealing the cake in the supermarket, so he came out to solve the siege, and then he knew that the little girl wanted to take the cake to make a gift for her mother.

The portrayal of the little girl is very important to the whole movie, she should be a child who is both lovable and sympathetic, and at the same time has some naughtiness of small children, and some bad problems caused by the lack of family education. The more vivid the little girl in the whole story, the more distressed the audience will be, and the more convincing Li Jie will be in the end......"

Zhang Ran spoke for ten minutes and put forward a lot of constructive suggestions on Ding Sheng's script: "Grind slowly, strive to grind to the best! After polishing, bring it to me again, if there is no problem, you can start the preliminary preparation!"

"Okay, I'll hand over the revised script to you as soon as possible!" Hearing Zhang Ran's words, Ding Sheng's face couldn't hide his surprise. It's been five years, and I've finally waited for the opportunity to direct again!

"Ding Sheng, each of us has what we are good at and what we are not good at. It's good for you to write men's plays, but it's relatively lacking in writing delicate emotions, there is no need to do everything, you can find a screenwriter who is good at writing feelings to write the emotional part, as a director knows how to work with people is very important. ”

"Director, I'm ......"

Zhang Ran waved his hand and interrupted Ding Sheng's words: "I am also a director, and I hope that everything will come according to my own ideas, but you must understand that the process of film creation has always been a process of compromise, especially commercial films must consider the feelings of the audience, not by temperament." Working with other screenwriters can make the script look better, so why refuse? Ning Hao and I are not good at making action movies, which is your forte. If this play can be successful, then the movie version of "Providence" will be handed over to you, don't let me down!"

Taking over the film version of "Providence"?

Ding Sheng was stunned, and then his face flashed with ecstasy! )
