Chapter 242: Writing the Script
"Who Ruined My Newlywed Honeymoon"?
Yang Xin'er heard Zhang Le talk about the title of this movie that Feng Lei gave her, and immediately laughed. And looking at Zhang Le's appearance, it seemed that he was still planning to use this name, and his face immediately became weird.
However, Yang Xin'er didn't care much about the title of this movie. "Who Ruined My Newlywed Honeymoon", this name is not bad.
As long as Zhang Le thinks it's okay, Yang Xin'er thinks it's okay.
However, the name Zhang Le has not yet been decided. If you can't think of a satisfactory title, maybe you don't have to use this.
After Zhang Le and Yang Xin'er returned to China, they kept a low profile, did not accept interviews with the media, nor did they appear in front of the media, and seemed to have disappeared.
But the two of them did not disappear from the public. Things are still going on. Countless media outlets rushed to report on it.
After the two returned to China, Zhang Le has been taking care of Yang Xin'er at home, writing scripts by the way.
The script of this movie was naturally completed by Zhang Le himself, and Hollywood originally planned to invite well-known screenwriters to adapt it. However, after understanding Zhang Le, he has given up.
Obviously, they learned that Zhang Le's screenwriting skills are also excellent. He himself is better able to write scripts that satisfy him as a director.
However, they didn't know that Zhang Le had written so many scripts, but this one was the most difficult to write.
In the past, almost all of the scripts of those movies had the original version as a reference, or even directly copied them completely. But this time, I want to be original. Yes, this time the script is completely original.
However, Zhang Le copied so many movies, not blindly plagiarizing, but eating them thoroughly every time, especially the films he shot himself.
Familiar with 300 Tang poems, can't compose poems, and can chant. Let alone. Zhang Leben was born in film and has extremely rich professional knowledge. Xueba, it's not a joke.
Moreover, Zhang Le also has a great advantage, after all, this is a movie about his own experience. No one felt it more deeply than he did.
The heroes and heroines are undoubtedly them and Yang Xin'er themselves, and they haven't even changed their names. Originally, Zhang Le planned to present some of his and Yang Xin'er's works in this film as an introduction to the identity of the hero and heroine. However, Zhang Le still gave up. He didn't need to be so remembered by the world, or even that he did. Even if it is diagonal to the plot and does not affect the plot of the story, it will inevitably be criticized and disgusted.
If that's the case, it's obviously worth the cost.
There are so many classic films in Zhang Le's head, he doesn't need to rely on this way to let the world remember them as husband and wife.
Regarding the identity of the hero and heroine, in the film, Zhang Le did not write too much. is even just a passing note, letting the audience know that one of them is a director. One is an actor. In the middle of the conversation, they teased them to become the real "Zhang couple"!
In this movie, in addition to the male and female protagonists, there are naturally several important roles. Joseph, the big drug lord. Adelaide, a mercenary powerhouse, and naturally the female Interpol Delise.
Of course, these characters can't hold up this movie yet. Many small roles are also needed.
The temporary commander of the police naturally has to give a certain role. And a little bit more positive. And the hostages in the hotel are naturally indispensable, with various identities. Various reactions. Zhang Le needs to show the changes in his heart after being taken hostage through these small characters.
Different people, different identities, naturally have different reactions. Life may be a bit exaggerated, but in the face of gangsters, all of them are panicked, timid, and panicked, and they all react the same, and I am afraid that this film will also be inferior.
This is also a hero film, a one-man show for heroes, but it also needs some embellishment.
Zhang Le wrote a first draft, and as usual, every time he wrote a script, he would show it to Yang Xin'er and listen to her opinions. And this can be said to be his first original script, so naturally I want to hear Yang Xin'er's opinion. What's more, Yang Xin'er is still a party.
Yang Xin'er is naturally not polite.
The scene at the beginning of the film surprised Yang Xin'er.
The first shot of the film is not her and Zhang Le's, but the scene where Dai Lisi takes Interpol to capture Joseph, a big drug lord. is very short, and there is even only one sentence on the script, but Yang Xiner can guess that Zhang Le will definitely make this scene a big scene.
If a big drug lord is caught and makes a small fight, then it is a little unreasonable to take prisoners and hostages. What's more, if a big drug lord is so easy to catch, is he still a big drug lord?
Drug dealers are not so easy to get into.
This scene is just a prelude.
The film officially began, and Zhang Le and Yang Xin'er appeared. I don't know if Zhang Lezhen plans to use the title taken by Feng Lei, the film begins with the scene of sending guests after the wedding, and from his words, he said that the two will travel around the world on their newlywed honeymoon, and the first stop is Paris.
"Those guests let the company's actors make cameos." Zhang Le made a supplement to this scene.
This is undoubtedly Zhang Le's own company artists to show their faces internationally through this high-profile film, even if this appearance is not even familiar, but at least it shows a face. When a work appears again in the future, it can at least give a deeper impression to others.
In the next few scenes, there is undoubtedly two newlyweds showing affection.
"Aren't you afraid that they will say that we show affection and show it in the movie?" Yang Xin'er said to Zhang Le with a smile.
"Whether it is the need of the film or seeking truth from facts, these scenes are needed. Where is there a newlywed couple who is not in love? Zhang Le smiled and said.
Showing affection, Zhang Le and Yang Xin'er don't know how many times they have been ridiculed. But as far as the film itself is concerned, it does require these scenes to be excessive. Otherwise, the plot is a bit far-fetched.
Whoever knows both of them, knows their affection. But if you don't know the two of them, you will feel a little abrupt after watching this movie.
is like a romance novel, the hero and heroine fall in love at first sight, and then they share hardships and hardships, life and death, which is somewhat far-fetched. As soon as they met, they were willing to die for each other, I'm afraid no one would believe it, at least Zhang Le didn't believe it.
Zhang Le added these plots, and also complained a little, what should have been a romantic and sweet newlywed honeymoon, but in the end, he had that bad thing, and it was inevitable that there was a resentment in his heart. This resentment will naturally be vaguely manifested later.
It's a manifestation of human nature.
Zhang Le didn't intend to portray himself as a perfect hero, and he didn't think about going to the past to save the suffering and do chivalrous deeds. He never thought about saving those hostages, and saving them was just a coincidence.
He just wanted to save his wife.
Zhang Le actually wanted to portray him and Yang Xin'er as tall, but that didn't conform to the facts at all. It's not a movie with a main theme either. It would be hypocritical to film the two of them bent on rescuing the hostages.
I guess not many people will believe it that way.
The character's thoughts and actions must conform to the character's identity. And Zhang Le and Yang Xin'er's identities are just a director and an actor.
They are not policemen, and when they encounter this kind of thing, the first thing that comes to mind is self-preservation. Instead of going to rescue the hostages, to catch the thieves.
What's more, whether it is Zhang Le or Yang Xin'er, they have never thought about what kind of hero they are. They're just filmmakers. (To be continued......)
