There was a long table in the room, and there were three people sitting behind the long table, the middle of which was a very young-looking man, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, although he only looked twenty-five or sixteen, but Han Shenyan knew that he was thirty-two years old this year. And the sign on the table indicates that he is the director of this movie. In addition to this, he has another identity, which is also the screenwriter of this movie.

The reason why Han Shenyan knows these is because he can also be called a legendary existence in the circle, he has been known as a prodigy since he was a child, he became famous in one fell swoop with an essay competition, and has published many best-selling books, which can be described as unique among the younger generation of writers, perhaps only the screenwriter of the previous "Great Era" can be compared with him.

His talent is not only evident in his work with screenwriters, he has also written the lyrics to songs, he is still talked about today, he has driven a race car, he has dominated the semi-professional circuit, he is the only double champion in track and rally in the country, and now he has set his sights on directing.

His name is Xia Han.

And today, the script "Riding the Wind and Long Drive" that Han Shenyan interviewed is the first film he directed, that is, his debut film.

To Xia Han's left is a middle-aged man, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, dressed in a black suit, holding a pen to record something, and the table cards on the table show that he is the film's producer.

On the right, there is a woman in her early forties, who is an assistant director, and Han Shenyan has some impression of her name, but when she thinks about it, she can't remember the works she has filmed. The same audience is different, as a screenwriter and actor, he will naturally pay special attention to the director, and he can't say that he knows everything, but generally a little famous can recognize it.

But it's normal to think about it, if it's really a director with excellent works, how can he be subservient to him, saying that he is an assistant director, but it's actually an errand that does miscellaneous things. After all, Xia Han, as a new director, may not have much problem with the lens, but it is difficult to get started without actual operation in the arrangement of on-set personnel, deployment, coordination of venue equipment, and overall planning of time. This is where the role of an experienced assistant director is revealed.

After Xia Han saw Han Shenyan enter the door, his eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at the assistant director, and the two nodded lightly at the same time.

At least in terms of appearance, Han Shenyan is very much in line with Xia Han's imagination of this role. Sometimes, appearance is more important than acting.

"Screenwriter Han, I like your "Chasing the Dragon" very much, I am a big fan of yours." After Han Shenyan sat down, Xia Han said with a smile. This is the embodiment of the status of the screenwriter, he is not the rookie screenwriter before, he has a drama with more than 20% ratings in his hands. No one can ignore this.

"Where, I've also read the essays you wrote since I was a child, and I can still memorize a few paragraphs from that cup." Han Shenyan replied with a smile, and everyone carried the sedan chair.

After the greetings, it can be regarded as getting to the point.

The atmosphere is also starting to get serious.

"Can you start by saying what you understand about the character?" Xia Han pushed his glasses, picked up the pen, looked at Han Shenyan and asked.

Han Shenyan pondered the wording, and then said, "In my opinion, he is an incompetent husband, an incompetent father, and an incompetent friend. ”

"Oh? You're the first to say that. Xia Han said with a smile. Can you elaborate on that? ”

"Of course." Han Shenyan nodded and continued, "Character determines fate. His personality has actually been shown since the first act. He appears as a hero, helping the male protagonist in the alley, and although it is performed in a nonsensical and funny style, it has already stereotyped his character. ”

"Hot-blooded, with a sense of justice, but with a somewhat stubborn character. Although his identity is not very glamorous, just a gangster, what he does actually conforms to people's impression of heroes. ”

"Then you still say that he is so incompetent." Xia Han laughed.

"This is the contradiction, it is precisely because of this kind of character, when something happens that he is not used to, he will not consider whether he has the ability to fight, he will rely on his stubbornness, and that stinky temper that does not compromise and does not turn, all the way forward."

He never thought about the consequences of his actions for the people who liked him and believed in him. Because of this, he indirectly killed his brother and his beloved, and also had a huge estrangement with his children. From the point of view of friends, fathers, and husbands, he was indeed incompetent. But such a person is really difficult to make people feel bad, but there is a lot of admiration. ”

Xia Han nodded, noncommittal, took out a pen to record something, and then asked, "Then, if you play the role of Ah Zheng, where will you start?" ”

"When I am familiar with a character, I am more accustomed to starting from the character, Ah Zheng when I was young, the main highlight is his uninhibited and kind, and of course, stubborn character. In his old age, he mainly embodied that kind of guilt and remorse. As long as you can master this characteristic of the role, I believe it will be more convenient to play. ”

"yes, I see." Xia Han lowered his head, thought for a while, took out a piece of paper and handed it over, and said with a smile, "From the Korean screenwriter's acting skills in "Chasing the Dragon", I think you should have no problem playing Ah Zheng when you were young, your last scene made my daughter-in-law cry, it's really good." This time, please perform, Ah Zheng in old age, five minutes of preparation time, is it okay? ”

Han Shenyan took the paper, and he was no stranger to the plot written on the paper, which was at the very beginning of the script. are two shots of the actor Ah Lang when he was asked about his father when he was interviewed by reporters after winning the championship in racing.

In the first segment of the scene, Ah Zheng does not have any lines. But this only makes the performance more difficult, requiring the actor to fully use facial expressions to express the complex feelings of the character in just a few seconds.

This is somewhat similar to the shot of Lin Mingyue repeatedly NG during the filming of "Chasing the Dragon".

Han Shenyan nodded, then closed his eyes and began to brew his own feelings.

If you have experienced so many things when you were young, witnessed the death of your friend, and were in prison yourself, but your wife died in childbirth, and you didn't even have time to see her for the last time, you don't support your son's racing career.

So now, what kind of mood will you feel when you see him win the championship? And what kind of mood did he feel when he heard him say something like that to reporters?
