5. Li Dao is an assist
Since you can't go to bed early like a top student, at least you have to get up early like a top student. With this self-deceptive belief, Feng Tangtang went to the alarm clock at 6 o'clock in the morning and decided to return to the filming schedule of only sleeping four hours a day.
She didn't know if the alarm clock went off, she only knew that it was afternoon when she woke up again...... Feng Tangtang beat his chest alone in the dormitory, and quickly turned on the computer to write the second homework, and his brain was in chaos after opening Word.
Just as she was holding up the chaotic notes from chatting with Zuo Yan yesterday in one hand and thinking about it, and poking the keyboard to delete the outline with the other, a text message popped in.
From: Zuo Yan.
"Give me your e-mail address."
E-mail address? Feng Tangtang didn't think about it, and replied to his address in seconds, feeling worried: What does he want to write to me? It can't be a love letter, right...... The last time I made an appointment, I was amorous and made a big oolong. Don't?
Feng Tangtang shook his little hand and kept pressing the mailbox to refresh it repeatedly.
After a while, Zuo Yan's mailbox popped in, Feng Tangtang was happy when he saw the title of the mailbox, sure enough, it was the outline of the chat between the two yesterday, Zuo Yan added a part, and wrote a part of his thoughts in detail!
Judging from the word count of this attached document and the time it was kept, he should have gotten up early. Feng Tangtang couldn't help but admire, sure enough, going to bed early and getting up early is the style of a school bully.
She skimmed through it cursory and replied to Zuo Yan's message: Be taught, this idea is more detailed than yesterday's three words. It turns out that you haven't read the script, I was vague on the phone yesterday, and I wanted to keep it secret.
After a while, Zuo Yan also replied with a message: I wanted you to sleep first last night, I have an earlier version of the script, and it should have been changed. That's all for the big ideas, be cautious and refer to them.
Feng Tangtang is unpredictable, what does this caution mean? Is Xueba being modest, or is it reminding her not to copy too obviously and be discovered by Uncle Li?
raised her hand and hammered her head, picking out words for what important people said, which was her old problem. Don't be hypocritical to the male god anymore, work dealings, and have a professional attitude towards work! Feng Tangtang pressed the curiosity in his heart and replied: I know, I started work.
Holding up the phone and staring at it for two or three minutes, the other party has no more messages, which probably means that the conversation is over. Feng Tangtang threw the brick Nokia away and began to concentrate on her second drama review.
Looking closely at the content of the text sent by Zuo Yan, he did read the previous version of the script, and some details were different from the one in her hand. However, the general structure has not changed much, and these written in the left language are of great reference value.
What made Feng Tangtang pay special attention was that among the several roles mentioned by Zuo Yan, there was a small role of "Yan Promise". This is the role of Zhao Qing in the broadcast version of the previous life.
The relationship between Zuo Yan and Director Li, Zuo Yan's attention to this small role, and Zhao Qing finally played this role and entered a rising period of career...... These thoughts were stirring in Feng Tangtang's mind, and she was very reluctant, but she couldn't suppress the conjecture: they had known each other before they became screen CPs. Zhao Qing later got the role of "Yan Promise", which may have been recommended by Zuo Yan.
But no matter what Zuo Yan's impression of Zhao Qing is in this play, his influence on himself is only after he is reborn. should not always be entangled with the imaginary enemy of Zhao Qing. Your own opportunity, you must first grasp it yourself is the truth!
Clear your mind and re-devote yourself to Director Li's homework. Although Zuo Yan helped her open her mind, she herself was not without words, and many new ideas burst out under the combination of the two. Even though she was only a directing student, there were some things that she knew could not be realized due to the limitations of the scene, and she still had the courage to write them.
She has been in school for several years and has learned a very important truth, the biggest difference between the stage and the back of the stage is the idea. has no own ideas in the entertainment industry, so he can only follow the general trend and sink and fall. I ruined my face and didn't catch up with the tide back then, which is a true portrayal of blood.
wrote intermittently for another two days and one night, and Feng Tangtang, who had finished typing the last word, collapsed on the bed to look at the date: two days earlier than the time limit given to her by Director Li.
Do you want to send the two drafts to Zuo Yan first? The thought flashed through her mind, and she was immediately dismissed by herself. The last time I called him, he also specially wrote an email to him, which has bothered him too much.
Feng Tangtang finally checked the typos and pressed a text message to Li: Director Li, my homework is finished, you give me a work email, and I will send it to you?
I waited for ten minutes and didn't reply. Directing is a profession with a schedule and a life, Feng Tangtang decided to wash himself first and go out to find food. In the evening, if I haven't received a reply, I just called him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she packed up and went out, Li Gang sent her a message back: Send it to Zuo Yan first, and you can discuss it.
Master, you are simply my matchmaker! God assists! Feng Tangtang hovered happily downstairs in the dormitory, pedaling and pedaling back to the dormitory to do a set of spinning and jumping, she closed her eyes, turned on the computer and wrote an email to Zuo Yan: Director Li asked me to send the homework to you first, let's discuss it first.
After ordering the send, she didn't dare to go out to eat, so she soaked noodles and waited for the male god to discuss with her how to "discuss" the method.
After sucking and eating noodles, I waited for Zuo Yan's text message: The email was received, but what about the attachment?
……
……
……
Feng Tangtang yelled at the sky three times: I am a pig! It's a pig! It's a pig!
With tears streaming down her face, she rewrote the email: her hands were shaking just now, and this one has an attachment, so I'm really embarrassed.
After the email was sent, Zuo Yan's text message popped in: This time, I'll take a look first, call at night, you can eat first.
Well, Feng Tangtang won't sue him, she has already finished sucking a bowl of instant noodles.
After finishing the draft, she contacted Director Li, and she was not so excited. When she thought about giving Li Dao homework, she was not too nervous, after all, she was familiar with talking to the director in her previous life. But after Director Li threw the pot to Zuo Yan, her pot began to be restless.
It can't go on like this, Feng Tangtang brainwashed himself, being unprofessional in this circle is the most dangerous. She drank three glasses of water, forced herself to calm down, re-read her review draft several times, carefully circled some of her key points and uncertainties, and drafted a few points that could be discussed, and wrote more detailed ideas.
Being diligent and prepared is always the most useful.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Zuo Yan's phone call came in. Feng Tangtang was like being in the examination room, and picked up the phone nervously: "Hey, Zuo Yan? ”
"Feng Tangtang, your first draft surprised me." Zuo Yan went straight to the point on the phone, "It's like having experienced the shooting scene...... No, it's like I've seen the final film. ”
Feng Tangtang held up the phone with a confused expression, and all the prepared content was useless: "Cheng? Filmed? ”
Zuo Yan continued: "I feel that there are some narrative connections and picture editing that are really exquisite. However, this is generally the result of selecting materials from the original film with a large number of camera positions, and then trying it based on experience. I think it's ...... if you write it so simply."
Feng Tangtang's nervous hands trembled: "What do you think?" ”
"I think you're a genius. I have really wronged you as an actor for so many years, and you really chose the right path of directing. Zuo Yan said softly on the phone, and his tone was very sincere.
"Oh my God, it scared the hell out of me." Feng Tangtang, who straightened his body, suddenly relaxed, and stroked his chest to give himself a sigh: "Ah, no, I mean, I am a little frightened when you praise me like this, haha." No, you're looking too highly of me. I just read the script and unconsciously have some images in my head......"
"That's talent. Seriously, I benefited a lot from these two reviews of yours, and you don't have to be presumptuous. ”
Feng Tangtang couldn't wait to give himself a slap.
"However, I still have some thoughts of my own, so let's discuss them together with your first draft." Zuo Yan still has a concise and effective communication style on the phone, and after such a frightening opening, he gets to the point of conversation.
Feng Tangtang naturally responded with a twelve-point spirit: "I'm waiting for this, you can say it." ”
In terms of narrative rhythm, Zuo Yan took out many examples of American dramas, and at the same time put forward many directions for filming and editing techniques that are "tall" in Zuo Tangtang's view. Feng Tangtang can see that this is exactly the style he will style when he makes movies by himself in the future. The years he studied and worked in the United States had a profound impact on him.
Feng Tangtang feels that the reason why Zuo Yan was able to become famous after returning to China in his previous life was not only because of his experience in film and studying abroad, but also because the timing of his return was too right. The domestic film market is open and in line with international standards, and he is just the "international fan" that the audience needs.
But not now...... And this set of things is even riskier to stuff into "The Legend of the Lady".
"IMHO." Feng Tangtang did not hide his thoughts after listening to some of Zuo Yan's suggestions, "Director Li's drama has always been going to the prime time of Yangba, and this drama can be seen that he has taken a step towards commercialization and set his goals on various satellite TVs." Then I don't need to say that the user base is older and broader than Yangba. The fast-paced narrative is difficult for this audience to adapt to. Compared with people who spend money to watch commercials, generate interest, and then spend money to go to the cinema, the audience who eats dinner and sits on the sofa to rest is obviously larger. ”
"Then you don't have to think that TV viewers don't have intelligence, right? For example, the plot of Concubine Shu poisoning Concubine Xian not only hinted at it four or five times in three episodes, but also filmed it head-on, recalled it once during the imperial doctor's autopsy, and recalled it again during the emperor's interrogation, for fear that the audience would not remember that it was Concubine Shu's poison...... This is too contemptuous of the seriousness of the audience watching the drama. ”
"I think the previous hints are verbose, but I don't think the next two memories are redundant repetitions because of the fear that the audience will not remember the plot. The memories of the autopsy are to bring Concubine Shu's regret and fear, and the interrogation is to intersperse ~ the emotional entanglement between Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian and the emperor, which has a plot effect. ”
"Well, I agree with the first point. The second point is, is there a better fragment of emotional entanglement to recall? Inserting this poisoning only shows how vicious our protagonist is, and ignores her suffering. ”
Feng Tangtang suddenly realized that when he deduced the process of solving the problem from the standard answer, he entered the misunderstanding of thinking.
"You're right, Zuo Yan, there is indeed a problem here, the positive and negative reflections of the characters' personalities are biased." Feng Tangtang said sincerely, "Concubine Shu's moral balance will not tilt until the later stage, and it is indeed not suitable to express it like this in this swing period. ”
"That's right. It was a real pleasure to discuss with you, Tang Tang. Without warning, Zuo Yan omitted her surname for the first time and called her like this, and Feng Tangtang's heartbeat accelerated violently.
