Chapter 63: Vulgar Plot

Without the interruption of the young lady, Shen Lin slept soundly, and it was estimated that he would be able to sleep until dawn.

It's a pity that sleeping until you wake up naturally can only happen to some heartless people.

As the chairman of a company with an estimated market value of 40 billion, we have a lot of opportunities, and we can fall asleep, and the mobile phone next to the bed rang.

"Hey, it's me, what's wrong?"

Shen Lin opened his eyes with great difficulty, and saw that the caller ID was Fang Jianhao, and subconsciously quickly sat up straight - something must have happened!

β€œβ€¦ It's not a big deal, I just want to tell you, pay attention when you talk in the future, we just received several lawyer's letters!"

Fang Jianhao on the other end of the phone was very helplessly advised.

β€œβ€¦ Did the gang of Hong Kong gangs do it?"

After being silent for dozens of seconds, Shen Lin asked rhetorically.

"Who else but them? No... In the future, don't always call people from the underworld and the underworld, they are now listed companies!"

"I'll go, others don't know, can you still know? Brother Xiang, people are originally mixed with the underworld, and I'm not wrong!"

Shen Lin was very unhappy.

Originally, I had just fallen asleep, and you woke me up, and you warned me about some well-known things!

β€œβ€¦ We are a socialist country, where did the underworld come from?"

β€œβ€¦ Well, I'll be sure to pay attention later!"

Shen Lin rolled his eyes, yawned, and continued to ask, "What else is the matter?"

"Another thing, in the afternoon, the film bureau called, and they said that films without the dragon mark could not be screened on the website..."

β€œβ€¦ I know. ”

Originally, I was not going to hang those banned films on the line of the literary theater.

It's a pity, what a gimmick!

But it's a good thing, and it saves a lot of investment.

……

Los Angeles, Touchstone Studios.

"La La Land" is about to start filming, and the two directors, Shen Lin and Mian Nchazelle, including the leading actors, are all concentrated in one conference room.

Shen Lin was meeting these people for the first time.

I briefly introduced myself, and then began the routine pre-shooting discussion.

In fact, most of the preparations for the three months have been perfect, and now the focus is on the focus of the shooting.

The original script, Mi Anen, insisted that it should focus on love, but Shen Lin was a little unimpressed: "Mi Anen, with all due respect, your script is originally a very bland plot, so we must put more effort into singing and dancing." ”

"However, singing and dancing alone can't hold up this movie!"

"Then can you tell me anything commendable about the plot of "Singin' in the Rain" or "Fame"?"

Shen Lin directly took two song and dance films that have already been included in film history as examples, "To put it mildly, the screenwriter and the plot structure of the movie, will you have as much experience as me?"

Mian was silent.

He really admired Shen Lin's ability in plot fabrication.

A series of results can't fool people!

"The magnificent plot may be amazing, but the vulgar plot can also make people moved, do you think "Titanic" is a good story? That is a vulgar love, as early as the last century has been the most vulgar thing!"

"But I want to associate La La La Land with Casablanca... Because when I wrote this script, I was influenced by Casablanca..."

Mion gave up his hopes of making La La Land a classic romance musical, but he insisted that the plot of Casablanca should be presented in the film.

"Of course!"

Shen Lin nodded and agreed: "Actually, the reason why I fell in love with this script is because of the strong nostalgic style, I think I can design a lot of details to show "Casablanca", such as Injili Bergman, the poster we can put on Mia's bedside, and the lines that can also be quoted..."

"There are so many towns in the world, and there are so many cafes in them, and you just walked into this one..."

"Haha!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

……

"Casablanca" is one of the top 10 best films in the world and has countless fans.

Borrowing the lines in it, it will definitely attract a lot of Casablanca audiences, which is definitely a plus for La La Land.

Although there is a suspicion of selling feelings, we are selling the feelings of old movies, which are very high, which is much better than those movies that sell feelings under the banner of dead people!

Frankly, the story of La La Land is simple and outrageously vulgar.

It is the story of two young men and women who originally pursued their dreams, because their lives were separated.

In the words of chicken soup, 'Dreams come true!', but seriously, such stories abound.

It is really difficult for a clichΓ© story like "La La Land" to arouse the audience's interest and resonance.

If you want people to buy tickets, apart from doing a good job of singing and dancing, Shen Lin can't think of any better way.

As for what Mi Anen said, focus more on love, and Shen Lin won't listen to a word!

Perhaps in Mian's view, "La La Land" is a romance film that includes the coat of a song and dance film, but in Shen Lin's view, if you want to make "La La Land" more selling, or make "La La Land" more acceptable to the public, the focus should be on song and dance.

In the original time and space, "La La Land" Golden Globe Award 7 out of 7, and the Oscar received 14 nominations, which looks amazing.

That's because throughout 2016, movies all over the world have been unprecedentedly cold, and the short man is tall, not so much the quality of "La La Land" is good, but the peers are good!

After the Oscars, most people began to calm down, and the biggest reason why they attacked "La La Land" was that the plot was vulgar and the singing and dancing were too bad!

There is no way to make the plot vulgar, the tone has already been set, and it is impossible to modify it too much, so you can only put more effort into singing and dancing.

However, song and dance films are a niche theme all over the world, except for North American audiences who love this genre.

Shen Linye didn't expect the overseas box office of this movie to be a big hit, especially the domestic box office, as long as the North American box office can recover the cost, it would be good.

Therefore, when the script is written and includes on-site shooting, Shen Lin and Mi Anen will design more North American audiences to understand the stalk.

Filming began almost two days later.

In the past few days, most of the actors have concentrated on auditioning.

Mi Anen hopes to be able to take one shot to the end, and Shen Lin has no opinion, of course it is good to be able to take one shot to the end, and even the editing is saved!

At the end of the meeting, Shen Lin walked out of the conference room, followed by two followers.

"Fat Di, Yitong, how are you training these days?"

β€œβ€¦ Fortunately, except that I didn't get used to it just now, I got used to it later, and the two of us were originally from dancing, and we can do a lot of movements!"

Li Yitong looked at Di Lire, and then replied.
