Chapter 106: Red Fan District

"Ah Long will be very happy to hear Lin Sheng praise him like this."

Lin Youlun thought that Zou Wenhuai was joking, so he politely said that he was also interested in Cheng Long, and he wanted to get to know the other party if he had the opportunity.

"This is really a coincidence, Ah Long happens to be in the company, why don't I take Lin Sheng to meet him?"

Looking at Zou Wenhuai's warm smile, Lin Youlun didn't believe that there would be such a coincidence, and when He Guanchang pushed Cheng Long, who was in a wheelchair, into the screening room, he became more and more sure that this was a meeting that Jiahe had planned for a long time.

Cheng Long struggled to get up from his wheelchair and shake hands with Lin Youlun, but He Guanchang was startled. Regardless of whether Cheng Long was pretending or really looking forward to this meeting, Lin Youlun couldn't watch him really get up from his wheelchair, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold him down.

"Mr. Chen, don't joke about your body, if you have an accident like this, I won't be drowned by your fans with saliva?"

"During this time, I was bored to death in the ward, thanks to Mr. Lin's novels, now I have become your loyal reader, the newspaper only updates a chapter in three days, and every time I read it, I can't get enough of it." Cheng Long said and took out the first volume of the just-published "Sou Shen Ji" from under the wheelchair seat, and asked Lin Youlun for an autograph.

Lin Youlun deliberately paid attention to it when he helped Cheng Long sign it, and found that there was no trace of reading the book at all, and looked up at He Guanchang, thinking that in order to create a pleasant atmosphere for the two to meet, this person really spent a lot of thought.

He Guanchang saw that Lin Youlun's eyes glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, and then looked at the smile on the corner of his mouth, knowing that his idea of letting Cheng Long pretend to be Lin Youlun's book fan had been seen through by Lin Youlun, and his face was unconscious.

Seeing that Lin Youlun didn't break it, He Guanchang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Cheng Long took the autograph given to him by Lin Youlun, and then couldn't wait to ask Lin Youlun's opinion on "Police Story", and he must ask Lin Youlun what shortcomings this movie still has.

"If you want to say what's bad, there are some. For example, at the beginning of the story, too little is explained about the scene of the incident. First of all, the location and internal structure of the dwelling, and secondly, the time. It's not that the movie didn't explain, but it was too sloppy. The location of the police temporary command center is also unclear. There is a little problem with the editing here, when the plot developed to more than 1 point, Chen Jiaju had a fight with Zhu Danni. The action in this section is repetitive, only the angle of shooting is different. If it were, I would cut out this paragraph, so that it recurs, and it is not for any special effect, so I should not be. Unless it's to deliberately prolong the fight time in order to be rhythmically full. ”

Cheng Long listened very carefully, and Zou Wenhuai, who had just watched the film with Lin Youlun, also had a thoughtful expression on his face.

"If there's anything missing, it's probably an extra requirement. It might feel better if the framing of the scene and the editing work together, and there are some revelatory shots. This movie gives me the feeling that it is a bit realistic, a lot of direct carving, a lot of sharpness, and a lot of sense of scene. ”

"Lin Sheng thinks that this film can be accepted by overseas audiences?" The overseas market that Zou Wenhuai refers to does not refer to Southeast Asia, the traditional "box office" of Hong Kong films, but North America.

"The shooting method derived from this film is very useful for future action movies, but unfortunately the fly in the ointment is that the plot takes place in Hong Kong, and European and American audiences may not be willing to buy it." Lin Youlun noticed that when Cheng Long made this film, he was no longer the old method of relying only on the hard work of the martial artists and rigid photography and editing, but spread the weight concentrated on the martial artists, so that the shooting and editing also became very weighty. After this method comes out, whether you know martial arts or not, you can make a very decent action movie. Many Hollywood movies in later generations have mastered this method, but Cheng Long slowly realized this later. …,

Zou Wenhuai heard another meaning from Lin Youlun's words, "What does Lin Sheng mean is that if the story that happened in Hong Kong is moved to the United States, it will be easier for the audience to accept it?" ”

"The question usually arises when doing this, should the villain be a penny or a foreign actor? With the incense penny, that is, just change the soup without changing the medicine; The use of foreign actors is easy to arouse the national rebellion of foreign audiences. Personally, of course, I prefer the relationship between China and the West, and then the Chinese win, but I am particular about how to write the script. How to adopt an international narrative strategy, skillfully integrate the mode of confrontation between China and the West into the theme of the film, and use the Chinese heroes portrayed on the screen to vigorously promote the national theme of self-esteem and self-improvement is the first issue that films entering the overseas market should consider. ”

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang glanced at each other, they had considered the idea proposed by Lin Youlun before, the Taoist ideal was very simple, but how to do it was a difficult problem.

He Guanchang groaned slightly, and decided to tell Lin Youlun the truth.

"Lin Sheng, in fact, I brought Ah Long here this time, just to ask you to help write a script, I believe that others can't do this, but you can."

Cheng Long also looked at Lin Youlun with blank eyes, and when he didn't see Lin Youlun speak, he asked Zou Wenhuai who was standing aside for help.

Unexpectedly, Zou Wenhuai did not help He Guanchang and Cheng Long speak, but there was a great sense of shirking Lin Youlun in his words.

"I don't think it's important for Lin Sheng to embarrass Lin Sheng in this matter, you have to be inspired to write a script, it's not something that can be decided overnight."

Lin Youlun suddenly felt a little funny in his heart, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang must have made an appointment today, one sings white-faced, and the other sings red-faced. He Guanchang begged sincerely, Zou Wenhuai resorted to the "radical method" again, in order to force Lin Youlun to "comply", the two really took a lot of painstaking efforts.

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang have done their part, if Lin Youlun refuses, it will be too bad to give face to these two bigwigs, and he does have a suitable script in his heart, anyway, it is also Cheng Long's future work, and he can earn a favor if he takes it out in advance. Instead of waiting for Cheng Long to be forty years old, he went into battle in person, wearing jeans and American black. To help fight wits and courage, it is better to let the young and strong Cheng Long enter the mainstream American film market with this movie as soon as possible.

"I have a story that happened in New York, the identity of the protagonist is still a Hong Kong policeman, but he went to the United States not on a mission, but to attend his uncle's wedding, I wonder if Mr. Chen is interested?"

Lin Youlun roughly told the plot of the film "Red Fan Zone", Hong Kong policeman Ma Hanqiang witnessed Irene who bought a supermarket being bullied by ruffians and hooligans, and stepped forward, but was forced to get involved in a relationship with the United States. Gang in a fierce battle.

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang's eyes slowly lit up, and they found that Lin Youlun cleverly adopted the principle of avoiding the important and trivializing in the narrative structure of this story, successfully avoiding narrow national feelings, and focusing on the expression of justice that is not afraid of evil forces, and does not touch the potential essential antagonism between China and the West such as ethnicity, history, politics, and religion, but focuses on the portrayal of human emotions that transcend regions, cultures, and nations. In the story, there are only good people who are full of a sense of justice and bad people who brutally bully others, and they cleverly avoid the minefield of national rebellion.

He Guanchang was just amazed that this story was like Cheng Long tailor-made, but Zou Wenhuai had a strange feeling in his heart, he always felt that Lin Youlun only thought of this story after watching "Police Story". Lin Youlun is a quick thinker, he has long understood it, but he blurted out that it is a script, which is too exaggerated, right?
