Chapter 217: Script Comparison
I won't say much about whether the Roselle signing will see or not Roselle. Many people have analyzed that the reason why this signing meeting did not fail is that it was not actually a 'signing meeting', but a 'book delivery meeting'.
Yes, you will find that it doesn't cost anything to get in. In addition, some people saw that even the aunt who was in charge of sweeping the floor on the street was able to get two copies.
That's why Roselle didn't fail, because he paid out of his own pocket and spent hundreds of thousands to deliver books to his readers. However, it would be naΓ―ve to think that this is Roselle.
Because Roselle is only on sale now in the first volume of "Breaking the Firmament", and then you will slowly find out later that in fact, a total of twenty-seven volumes of this girl's book can be published.
Since you already have the first volume in your hand, you have to buy the second volume, and with the second volume, you have to buy the third volume, and you have already bought the third volume, so why don't you get together a complete set and put it at home?
After the issuance, since this day, the physical books that break the sky have also begun to be sold in major bookstores across the country. How much money can be made, Rococo doesn't know, but there should still be a few million to ten million. If it is a reference to the income of the Tang family's three young physical books.
Well, having said all that, I won't continue to talk about this stuff. Next......
Beijing, near the North Third Ring Road, Beijing Film Academy.
Beijing Film Academy is the only film professional school in China, the largest in Asia, and a world-renowned film school, and is known as the "cradle of Chinese film talents".
And on this day, Rococo came here with the crying beast, to visit someone.
When the two arrived, the person they were going to visit happened to be giving a lecture on "Film Analysis."
The two of them found an empty seat at the back of the classroom, and tried not to disturb the students in the class.
But the influence of the beast among college students - in addition to white-collar workers, the most brain-dead fans of the beast are probably the college students.
As soon as I sat down, there were three boys in front of me who were not very attentive to the class, and I found out who was mixed in behind, and just wanted to say, who was so awesome that he dared to skip class, the three boys turned their heads, and the whole person was stupid.
The iconic bald head of this lewd uncle behind him is not called a beast!
I'm leaning on me, I'm leaning on me! The three boys were stunned for more than ten seconds before they recovered from their stupidity, and even after they recovered, they still couldn't believe that the screaming beast actually appeared in their school.
But! This is called a beast!
The beast was also cold for half a minute before waving and greeting the three male classmates.
As for Rococo...... To be honest, although the three boys also glanced at it, they naturally felt that there was something more important than having a base with the beast, a girl or something, while dying.
Originally, this was only spread in a small area, at least, the students who sat in the front row and listened to the class very carefully must not have known that the beast had come in, but but, as the three boys found out, the whole class felt something behind one after another, and the teacher who taught above seemed to have been affected by this, nodding and greeting Rococo and the beast. Suddenly, the whole class was like dominoes, coaxing, looking behind them, and they all knew.
Associate Professor Xue Xiaolu knew that this class would definitely not be able to go down, so let's just let the two guests come up and introduce themselves or talk about it. I always feel that if she doesn't do this, everyone will be curious, and they can't help but look back.
Soon, both Rococo and the beast were called to the stage.
The feeling of Rococo is amazing, and the feeling of calling beasts is extremely familiar and incomparably unfamiliar.
"Hello everyone, my name is Rococo."
"Hello everyone, I'm a beast. I am honored to be able to come to Beijing Film Academy to study today. β
After the two of them were introduced, there was a ghost crying wolf howl in the class, of course, more than seventy or eighty percent of the people were all crying beasts. Only Xue Xiaolu, and the other twenty or thirty percent, focus on not calling beasts. The focus of Xue Xiaolu's attention is to stand silently next to the beast, the aura is not obvious, and the founder of Love Sharing, who once sent her the scripts of two movies two months ago, - Roselle: Rococo. Xue Xiaolu really didn't expect that the founder of Love Sharing was so young. And as far as she knows, the market value of love sharing is now more than one billion. For such a young girl, there is a company that has grown to one billion, which is simply !
But of course! What also surprised Xue Xiaolu even more was how Luo Shen wrote a very realistic and sharp movie script like "Beijing Meets Seattle" at such a young age. The key is that Roselle also wants her to be the director and director of this movie. This made Xue Xiaolu a little unresponsive at that time, isn't she just a university teacher, an ordinary university professor who usually goes to the autism service agency to help, although she is a screenwriter and has more than ten years of screenwriting experience, but, what makes Luo Shen fall in love with her at a glance?
Rococo will never say it, because you are awesome enough! "Beijing Meets Seattle" sold 500 million at the box office, and few female directors can get such good results. That's why I remember you then! And the point is, you are scolded and scolded quite a lot. What kind of whitewashing junior, promoting extramarital affairs, homosexuality or something, if it weren't for you making so many sharp topics, I would definitely not remember you, let alone watch the love movie you wrote and directed - "Beijing Meets Seattle".
To be honest, I wanted to see a lesbian at the time, but I didn't expect it, I was so disappointed, can the director take a snack, replace the lesbian women with the ones in the cartoon, the whole appearance is a little higher, isn't it okay to be pretty, sure enough, black straight and long is the king, short-haired men's heads or something, and it is still impossible to look good. Although you think this is real, art can still exaggerate it.
Seeing Xue Xiaolu, Rococo really had a lot to complain about, but ...... Now Rococo wants to know more about how Xue Xiaolu changed the script, and what Xue Xiaolu thinks about what she wants her to be the director next.
Getting rid of the students in the class, the three quickly returned to the academy's office.
After Xue Xiaolu finished pouring tea for the two, he also took out the two scripts that Rococo had sent her before.
And on both scripts, her evaluation has already been written.
The beast came here today to know where the gap between his script and Rococo's script was. And the professionals, what do they think of his script.
And sure enough! Then Xue Xiaolu said to the two:
"I've read both of the scripts you sent before, and since you want to listen to my opinion, I'll just say it. The script of "Never Expected" undoubtedly takes the route of comedy, but in terms of plot, it lacks a little brilliance, not so much that this is a comedy, but that it is a collection of jokes and then put together, using jokes to tell a simple story. Such a work, to be honest, you also know that I took the "Film Analysis" course, and according to my analysis of so many films at home and abroad, this movie can only be on the verge of passing, and it is very likely to be rated as a failure. As for this "Beijing Meets Seattle", to be honest, it is my favorite work, probably because I am a woman, so I am more interested in this aspect. "Beijing Meets Seattle" is a film with a relatively deep theme, which talks about the hot topics that everyone has talked about in recent years. Such as the junior, extramarital affairs and homosexuality, in terms of setting, it may be difficult to accept, but in terms of the theme of the story, it is much, much better than "Never Expected". β
Called the beast: "Then Professor Xue, which one do you think is better?" β
Xue Xiaolu: "If I have to divide the superior, I can probably only say this." "Never Expected" is a work that is impossible to make people have higher expectations from the beginning, if the audience itself has high expectations for this movie, it is very likely that there will be bad movie evaluations; As for the other "Beijing Meets Seattle", it is definitely very risky, if it becomes popular, it will be very popular; If you pounce up, it is also a pounce work. It depends on how receptive the audience is. By the way, I forgot to mention it. Some of the things that you young people call 'spitting' in "Never Expected", as far as I am concerned, there are several, and I have checked them on the Internet to understand the meaning. Therefore, the audience of "Never Expected" is relatively narrow, and sometimes it makes people feel very cold and boring. On the other hand, "Beijing Meets Seattle", the audience's acceptance will be higher. Of course! This movie must not be watched by the man himself, he must be pulled by his girlfriend to watch it. Otherwise, many men will just not be able to stand it. If it is a straight male cancer audience, the score on Douban is definitely the lowest. β
Rococo said: "It doesn't matter if these are these, what I want to know more is, Professor Xue, are you interested in being the director of this movie." β
Xue Xiaolu asked, "Do you really want to shoot?" β
Rococo: "Of course! β
Xue Xiaolu: "I recently revised your original script, you can see how it goes." β
Rococo took about ten minutes, and sure enough, she couldn't write the delicate brushstrokes of women, after Xue Xiaolu's change, it was more similar to "Beijing Meets Seattle" that she had seen in her previous life, and there were more sentences that could be sensational, making the whole movie more literary and love.
Rococo couldn't help but praise: "Professor Xue is really not a screenwriter, and the revision is very good, which is several levels higher than my original one." β
Xue Xiaolu: "What you said is too exaggerated, but to be honest, I also admire how old you are this year to write such a deep movie, and, if I am not mistaken, I must have learned from the experience of many successful films at home and abroad." β
Xue Xiaolu was puzzled when he saw the beast, and also explained: "Actually, I want to say that the difference between these two movies is that "Never Expected" feels casual, so it is very pale and immature, while "Beijing Meets Seattle" is a movie that obviously draws on successful movies and absorbs many successful elements of foreign films. It's just that in the selection of materials, it has gone the wrong way. But I've looked it up, and the phenomenon mentioned in it still exists in the United States. If this movie can be made, it can be said to be a description of the complexity and twists and turns of the current life of the Chinese people, and it has profound meaning. This kind of profound meaning is something that "Never Expected" can't present. In fact, although comedy is for laughter, you can also know by looking at the works of well-known director Stephen Chow that even if it is a comedy, it can also tell the truth very profoundly. It's just that the current "Never Expected" can't be done for the time being. If you can strengthen it in this regard, it is relatively easy to pass above 70 or 80 points. β
Rococo: "So, it's better to shoot "Beijing Meets Seattle"? β
Xue Xiaolu: "Personally, it's like this. β
Rococo: "Then Professor Xue, are you interested?" β
Xue Xiaolu: "If Mr. Luo can afford me." β
Beast: "......"
Rococo patted the beast on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged, when you change it a hundred times and make the script a taste, I'll let you shoot." You are called a beast! Tens of millions of fans outside watch your every move, and if you want to come up with such a bad thing, you will only smash your own signboard. Professor Xue, do you think that's the truth? Professor Xue doesn't care, anyway, Professor Xue is not afraid to wear shoes barefoot. β
Then Xue Xiaolu was a little crying and laughing, and he had nothing to say about Rococo's last sentence. This girl shouldn't think she's not famous, so she chose her. But speaking of which, she also wants to continue to challenge herself. Since someone else chose her. It can be said that in fact, every teacher at Beijing Film Academy has an unyielding heart.
