The script of "Crazy Stone" was quickly completed with the collective efforts of the members of the Screenwriters Guild, and many screenwriters were greatly inspired by this novel multi-line narrative mode proposed by Lin Youlun, but no one has imitated it yet, because I don't know what the audience's attitude will be towards it.

The script was sent to Lin Youlun, and the plot has changed in some details compared to the movie in his memory.

The poor fishing village found a piece of priceless jadeite, and the village chief handed over the task of protecting the jade to Bao Shihong, a young man who had worked as a security guard in the city, and Bao Shihong found his companion Sanbao and organized the young people in the village to set up a security team; And Feng Dongqiang, a jeweler who covets jadeite, can't buy it, so he invites the international thief Mike to steal it; And the gang of thieves led by Brother Dao, Xiaojun and Heipi is also eyeing this piece of jade.

These three "people" have different goals, and their "offense and defense" are different, but they are all related to Xie Xiaomeng, the son of the village chief who is not doing his job properly and must be soaked in every girl, which then leads to a series of ridiculous stories.

Lin Youlun's initial idea was to find some big-name stars to guest star in this movie, but after getting the script, he changed his mind.

As soon as I got a big cast and made an all-star lineup, the movie was the most successful one, and everyone would only think that this was the box office appeal of the star, and the importance of the film script could not be highlighted; Second, the focus on the grassroots survival reality of the little people is an important factor in the success of the comedy movie "Crazy Stone".

Lin Youlun wrote down the main characters involved in the film on a blank piece of paper, hugged his hand and pinched his chin and thought for a while, and suddenly had some ideas in his heart.

Reach for the microphone at hand. Call Wang Jing's phone. Lin Youlun said directly: "Is there time at night?" I'll invite you to dinner, and by the way, you can call Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu together. ”

Wang Jing was quite happy to hear Lin Youlun invite him to dinner at first, but he couldn't be happy after Lin Youlun finished speaking, Lin Youlun obviously called himself up to make up the numbers for Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu.

"I thought you only invited me to ......" Wang Jing muttered in a low voice, but he didn't want to be heard by Lin Youlun on the other end of the phone.

"Hey, fat man, are you here or not? If I don't come, I will call Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu directly. ”

Lin Youlun didn't have time to explain patiently to Wang Jing at this time, but he reminded Wang Jing of what he said. Lin Youlun just had something to do with Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu, and there was no need to call Wang Jing at all...... No matter what Lin Youlun's purpose was, Wang Jingjing felt that this would not be a bad thing, and immediately changed his words and said: "Come, why don't you come for free food?" ”

Lin Youlun told Wang Jing the time and place of the meal, and after hanging up the phone, he took the pen and crossed out the three characters on the blank paper just now.

Liu Qingyun is honest and honest, which is suitable for the role of Bao Shihong in the film; And Wu Zhenyu can let him play the international thief Mike; As for Wang Jing, Lin Youlun plans to make him the director of this movie, and at the same time play the role of Xie Xiaomeng, the son of the village chief. Kill two birds with one stone.

When they met for dinner in the evening, Lin Youlun said this idea. Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu had long expected this. They all agreed happily, but here in Wang Jing, Lin Youlun was unexpectedly refused.

"It's okay for me to make a cameo, but the director is okay." The reason given by Wang Jing is very simple, he has other movies on hand that have not been finished during this time, and the time for cameo performances can be squeezed out, but there is really no time to be the director of this film.

Wang Jing didn't have time, so Lin Youlun had to reconsider the candidate for the director of the film, and then Wang Jing gave him an idea: "This movie is made in the name of the Screenwriters Guild, and it is best to find someone close to the association to be the director." ”

Lin Youlun felt that Wang Jing was reasonable, so he asked him if he had any good candidates to recommend.

Wang Jing picked up the teacup, glanced at Lin Youlun, and then asked the bull head without saying to the horse: "Have you been busy lately?" ”

Lin Youlun couldn't guess what medicine was sold in Wang Jing's gourd for a while, but he really didn't have much to do during this time. There is Cen Jianxun presiding over the Jiayi Cinema Line, and Lizhi has entered the board of directors again, basically Lin Youlun doesn't have to worry about things over there; And "Ming Pao" has the team left by Jin Yong, which is enough to reassure Lin Youlun.

"If you have time, why don't you direct this movie yourself?"

Wang Jing's words were amazing, and Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu, who were sitting on the side, both widened their eyes, but Lin Youlun had a silent expression, as if he was seriously considering Wang Jing's suggestion.

Wang Jing dared to say this, of course, there is a basis, when he collaborated with Lin Youlun on the first movie, what he got from Lin Youlun was the movie storyboard script, which was described in great detail, and even the meeting people, pushing the rails, pulling out, and entering the camera were clearly marked, and Wang Jing said that Lin Youlun could be a director.

And as Lin Youlun's status is getting higher and higher, the possibility of him directly becoming a director is getting smaller and smaller, if it weren't for the Screenwriters Association to raise funds to build a new building and start filming "Crazy Stone", Wang Jing would not have brought up this matter again.

This time, Wang Jing's thinking about Lin Youlun was relatively in place. From the choice of the script to the configuration of the actors, all signs show that Lin Youlun's idea of making this movie is not just to raise a sum of money. If it's for money, he can directly ask for sponsorship from major film companies, instead of making a movie with such a big effort.

Whether it is to increase the remuneration of screenwriters in the whole industry, or to provide a reliable platform for displaying works, Lin Youlun's ultimate goal is to improve the status of screenwriters in the film industry, but these are not enough, to really make everyone realize the important role of screenwriters, there is no better proof than coming up with a box office convincing movie.

Wang Jing believes that as long as Lin Youlun is willing, he can definitely replace all the roles in the film with big-name stars, but Lin Youlun did not do this, Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu can only be regarded as second-tier actors at present, and although Lin Youlun did not say it explicitly, he will definitely not find too famous artists to play, which is to minimize the impact of stars on the box office.

If you find someone who has never been a director to direct this film, then the success of the film can be attributed to the role of the script to the maximum. And this is the result that Lin Youlun hopes to see the most.

It is precisely this that is grasped. Wang Jingcai dared to put forward the suggestion of letting Lin Youlun be the director himself.

Lin Youlun was indeed moved by Wang Jing's suggestion. However, he has never been a director, so it is impossible not to have no concerns in this regard.

"Don't worry about this, I'll recommend a few reliable assistant directors to you in the future, you just need to throw the storyboard script to them, and then tell them how to shoot, and they can help you with the rest." Wang Jing then gave Lin Youlun an idea.

In Wang Jing's view, Lin Youlun doesn't really want to be a director, and he made this movie just to meet the occasion. So there is no need to be hands-on in every link, although he has the title of director, what he actually does is similar to when he was a producer before, except that he has to go to the scene to direct it in person during the filming of the movie.

Wang Jing had already considered all aspects for Lin Youlun, so Lin Youlun decided to give it a try.

Soon, the news that Lin Youlun was going to be the director and make the film himself spread in the circle, and it was rare that this movie did not invite big-name stars to star, which is definitely a great news for those second- and third-tier actors and artists who want to get in and out.

Regardless of the box office and prospects of this movie, it can only catch up with Lin Youlun's line. It makes many people's hearts flutter.

When the movie is made, of course everyone is happy; And it doesn't matter if it's smashed. At least you can sell Lin Youlun a favor...... With such a mentality, many people are asking about the roles in the film that are still vacant, and then asking people around for interviews to join the crew.

Because there were too many people who came to audition, Lin Youlun sent the three assistant directors recommended by Wang Jing to interview actors, and his requirements were very simple, the selected candidates must have characteristics in appearance.

stopped at this point, and 90% of the interviewers were blocked from the door, because Lin Youlun did not say specific requirements, so the three assistant directors sent the photos of the interviewers who they thought were very distinctive together with the materials to Lin Youlun.

There are three folders in total, after reading the first two, none of the actors who are particularly satisfied with Lin Youlun, when Lin Youlun opened the last folder, the three assistant directors all sweated in their hearts, if none of the people they selected satisfied Lin Youlun, it would be a big loss of face.

Lin Youlun turned the page very quickly, basically glanced at the person in the photo, if there was no impression in his mind, he would pass directly without looking at the information, and he didn't see the "familiar" actor in the first two folders, Lin Youlun actually didn't have much hope for the result of this interview, and at this time, a familiar face suddenly entered his sight.

In the photo, this person wears a pair of glasses and looks polite, but in many funny movies related to campus themes in later generations, this guy can often be seen playing a somewhat dull student with glasses, and he is often bullied, but Lin Youlun can't remember his name for a while.

There is information about this person under the photo, Lin Youlun didn't expect that this actor named Huang Yishan actually had a master's degree in business administration from the University of Hull in the United Kingdom, worked as a TV host, and has no acting experience at present.

Lin Youlun tore off Huang Yishan's photo from the data page, took it to the three assistant directors and asked, "Who chose this person?" ”

The assistant director surnamed Wu on the far left stood up tremblingly, Lin Youlun glanced at him, and suddenly asked, "This person has never acted in a play, how did you think of choosing him in?" ”

The assistant director surnamed Wu chuckled in his heart, and there was immediately a layer of fine beads of sweat on his head, this Huang Yishan was his good friend, so he made an exception to let him be selected, but he didn't expect Lin Youlun to find out.

"Mr. Lin, I'm ......" The deputy director surnamed Wu didn't know how to answer, Lin Youlun saw his reaction in his eyes, and couldn't help but doubt it.

"Could it be that you and he are acquaintances?" Lin Youlun asked tentatively, and the assistant director surnamed Wu was like a lightning strike, and he stood on the spot.

Lin Youlun didn't expect that he could dig out the truth of the matter by guessing randomly, and while he was amused, he suddenly felt that it was necessary to beat the three assistant directors well, otherwise they really thought that they didn't care about anything.

Lin Youlun threw the unfinished actor information on the table, and the other two assistant directors who were dull at this time were also silent, lowering their heads and not daring to look directly at Lin Youlun's eyes.

"Among these people selected in the interview, which ones came in through your relationship, I don't want to investigate it now, you can pick out the people yourself!"

The three assistant directors, you look at me, I look at you, except for the assistant director surnamed Wu, the other two took out a few copies of the actor's information from the folder and honestly handed them over to Lin Youlun.

"I know that Lu Dao has his own social circle in this industry, and inserting one or two people in may be a last resort for friendship or face, but you can recommend these people to me in private, and you shouldn't do such tricks in this kind of public interview." Lin Youlun's gaze swept over the faces of the three assistant directors, the other two just lowered their heads, and the assistant director surnamed Wu had already begun to sweat on his forehead.

"Of course, I said that I won't pursue it this time, so don't be too nervous, but I hope this kind of thing doesn't happen again!" Lin Youlun lifted the board high, but it only fell lightly at the end, and the three assistant directors were relieved.

Something like this happened, Lin Youlun didn't seem to be in the mood to choose any more actors, he let the other two assistant directors go first, but only the assistant director surnamed Wu was left.

When the other two left, they all gave the assistant director surnamed Wu a look of care, and the assistant director surnamed Wu himself also felt that he had to be scolded by Lin Youlun this time, and he had prepared for the worst.

Unexpectedly, after the other two left, Lin Youlun said the first thing he said: "This Huang Yishan is good, you know him, then tell me how he is." ”

The assistant director surnamed Wu couldn't believe his ears, but Lin Youlun was still waiting for him to reply, and he didn't have time to think about it and said: "I worked as a director on a TV station for a while, and I met Huang Yishan at that time. He has a nickname called 'fine turtle', because there was a cartoon at that time that said that there were four turtles living together, and every time he worked, the big turtle was always called the second turtle, the second turtle was called the third turtle, and the third turtle was called the thin turtle, when he first entered the industry and hosted a children's program on the TV station, he was very hard-working like the thin turtle in the film, so everyone called him 'fine turtle', which I can guarantee, if Mr. Lin doesn't believe it, he can go to the TV station to investigate and see if the thin turtle is such a person. ”

"Brother Dao's role of Xiaojun, if he wants to, he can give it a try. But I said ugly things in the front, I don't have much time to put him in the play, if it doesn't work, I'll change him immediately! ”
