Chapter 70: The Script
"Brother, I'm sorry. Lin Qingqing lowered his head, twisted the hem of his clothes with both hands, and the two cyan four-leaf clovers on his left wrist reflected a glow, and said softly: "Yesterday, I shouldn't have been like that." ”
Looking at Lin Qingqing, who lowered her chin and eyebrows, she was like a small milk vetch, not competing with the flowers in the world, standing in the wilderness, withstanding the wind and rain, blooming alone with her fresh and elegant, with a weak posture, but with a bit of stubbornness.
Xu Jing's mind suddenly flashed the sentence 'She is my only friend in Xiangjiang' that she burst out yesterday, as if it was like a thorn piercing the softest place in his heart.
I vaguely remembered some things in the original time and space, and it was not only adults but also children who immigrated to Xiangjiang in the 80s and 90s, and there were many suicides because of discrimination and bullying at school, and there was even the case of 'the death of middle school student Lin Jie', which caused a sensation in Xiangjiang because of a suicide note.
After all, she was a little negligent to her, and she didn't know what she had experienced in Xiangjiang in the early years, and how many grievances she had suffered, so that she would become completely different from when she was a child, thinking of this, Xu Jing's eyes couldn't help but soften a little.
"Yesterday was my brother's mistake, I shouldn't ignore your feelings. Xu Jing raised his hand, stroked Lin Qingqing's shoulder, and said softly: "You can tell my brother anything in the future, and my brother will always stand by your side, you know?"
"Hmm. Lin Qingqing raised her head, her eyes were a little warm, but a bright smile appeared on her face, and she nodded in response.
Looking at Lin Qingqing, who was full of smiles, Xu Jing also smiled.
"Brother, Brother Ping is gone. After a while, Lin Qingqing's eyes dimmed a little, and he lowered his head slightly and whispered.
"Gone?" Xu Jing said in surprise.
Well, she said she was leaving Xiangjiang and going to Taishao to find her uncle, but she said she would definitely come back. Speaking of this, Lin Qingqing raised her head again and said, "She also said let me thank you." ”
Xu Jing was a little surprised by Brother Ping'er's departure, originally thought that she would come to him after she figured it out, but she didn't want to leave Xiangjiang. But when I think about it, her departure is reasonable, and with her rebellious and unruly character, how could she come to him for help?
Perhaps, in her heart, leaving is the best choice.
"Then we'll wait for a brand new Apple Brother to come back. He patted Lin Qingqing on the shoulder and said, "Let's go in, it's windy outside, I'll go get something first." ”
Lin Qingqing nodded, turned around and walked into the house.
"Qingqing. Looking at Lin Qingqing's back, Xu Jing was about to turn around to pick up the manuscript that fell on the car, but he remembered what Zhou Xiaoxun said in the afternoon, so he called Lin Qingqing again.
"Huh?" Lin Qingqing turned his head and looked at Xu Jing with a puzzled look.
"You and Brother Ping... Xu Jing was about to ask the doubts in his heart, but he met Lin Qingqing's big pure and immaculate eyes, so clean that there was no trace of fireworks, after all, he didn't say anything, so he had to exhale and said, "It's nothing." ”
Lin Qingqing showed his teeth slightly, leaving Xu Jing with a warm and innocent smile, and turned away.
Maybe Zhou Xiaoxun was wrong, or maybe he thought too much, Xu Jing thought.
.
Although in his previous life, with his superhuman memory, he had already imprinted the script information of "Borderless City" in his mind, but after Xu Jing wrote the script and broke it down according to different characters, it still took four days.
Looking at the script in his hand, which was more than 100 pages thick, Xu Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief. Unlike many Hong Kong film scripts and mainland film scripts, the scripts written by Xu Jingmo are all models circulated on the Internet in his previous life according to the standard format of Hollywood movie scripts.
This kind of script usually corresponds to a one-minute plot in the film, and has a very subtle portrayal of the characters and scenes, which will involve the description of the characters' expressions, tone of speech, background lighting, and voiceover, which is one of the characteristics of Hollywood films with high industrialization.
This is also the reason why the Hollywood crew has not formed a director-centered system, the same script, another director to direct, the effect of the director is not too different in many cases, because of this reason, it is common for the crew to change directors. Of course, those big directors are naturally not within this rule.
Needless to say, the script of the Xiangjiang movie was written while filming, and it is not uncommon for the actors to have no scripts when they perform.
For example, when Wang Jiawei was filming "Happy Spring", when Zhang Zhen asked how to perform, Wang Jiawei said, 'You ask me, how do I know?', and then played a piece of music for Zhang Zhen, and then told him, 'Don't talk, feel with your heart, this is what you want to play'.
The same is true of Zhou Xingchi, for example, when he was filming "Kung Fu", Huang Shengyi did not have a script, but during the performance, Zhou Xingchi told her that she needed to cry here, but she couldn't cry heartbreakingly, she had to cry beautifully, and she had to cry out of the feeling of the little girl next door.
Although mainland film scripts are much more rigorous than Xiangjiang movie scripts, there are few cases where there is no script, but there is still no rigorous standard, sometimes the whole script is just a few pieces of paper and a story on it, and the matching storyboards are also uneven, sometimes there is no storyboard at all, and some are so simple that there is no storyboard.
When Zhang Yimou's storyboard can be published as a comic and Feng Xiaogang's storyboard can be used as an oil painting for exhibition, Jiang Wen's storyboard can make the people who eat melons have a sense of confidence that 'I can also be a director'.
It's just that his storyboard can be so simple that the character is a 'stickman' composed of just a circle and five lines, and the description is 'don't laugh', 'take off.' Words that are so simple that they couldn't be simpler, such as 'laughing' and 'almost laughing', but as for the scene? What is it? Can you eat it?
And so on, it can't be said that they are not a good director if they are so different, but it can't be said that they are good directors because they are so different, and why should a good director flaunt himself with alternatives? Grid?
Naturally not.
Xu Jing writes the script according to the standard format of Hollywood, naturally he has his reasons, not to mention that many members of Jiuzhou Company do not have rich core experience in filmmaking, and may not be able to understand and implement the ideas in his mind, even if he has this ability, Xu Jing will not give up using the standard format of scripts and storyboards.
It's not enough to make a movie with a good director, what battle can a hero fight if he does his best?
What Xu Jing wants to do is to formulate a rigorous specification from the upstream to facilitate the crew members to better understand and implement, so as to cultivate Jiuzhou's own professionals.
The same principle can also be applied to the national film industry, if the upstream of the industry is full of things that have no strict standards and make people scratch their heads, how can they cultivate outstanding middle and downstream talents? There are only a few geniuses, and it is impossible for everyone to be like Wang Jiawei, Zhou Xingchi, and Jiang Wen.
It is not a few geniuses who support the film industry, but a large number of middle and downstream practitioners like screws.
