Chapter 216: Rock singer Meng Chao
February 4, 1988.
Genesis Films.
"Brother Xiaobao, I want to talk to you about the script of the new movie!"
After finishing the recording of "The Voice of China" and the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, Meng Chao began to care about the film shooting plan of his company, Er Dongsheng's "New Love" on hand can be described as a work that has been sharpened for several years, and the original version seen in the parallel world, Meng Chao feels that the overall script has nothing to revise.
So although he had plans to shoot in advance, he couldn't shoot an unfinished work.
Although the entire film industry is accustomed to starting the script before it is finished, and then changing it while filming, Meng Chao is still not used to this way of shooting, and Meng Chao decided to be the protagonist of this "New Love", so he will only hang the name of a producer, and the director's work will still be handed over to Er Dongsheng.
"Mr. Meng, in fact, the script has been almost written, but there are some places where I haven't figured out how to write."
Hearing Er Dongsheng's words, Meng Chao just smiled and said, "It's okay, then take it out and discuss it together." ”
Er Dongsheng took out the script, Meng Chao read it for more than ten minutes, it was basically the same as the original version, the only problem was that Er Dongsheng hadn't thought about the final ending yet.
In the original ending, the optimistic Amin relapses from her old illness, and Applejack accompanies her, and Amin's mother takes out the outfit she used to sing in the banyan tree in order to raise money for her treatment, but Amin wants to eat bowl cakes, and Applejack can only spoil her sick and hurry up to buy it.
As a result, after leaving the hospital, it turned out to be goodbye, and finally Amin left a note to Ajie, who has always been very stubborn and has become a little lonely because of his lack of talent, which reads: "If the worst thing in life is death, how can there be difficulties in life." ”
Such a dead heroine ending, if it is placed in a future online novel, it will have to be scolded as a dog!
Even in the traditional published text, the dragon knight plot in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" almost made Jin Lao assassinated by fans, so whether such a plot should be used or not, Er Dongsheng is really entangled.
However, if the final plot is changed to Amin's recovery. The two got married, and such a happy ending was too popular and too unliterary.
And the heroine of literary movies is dead. There doesn't seem to be any problem, but Er Dongsheng doesn't know how his boss Meng Chao will react, so he has never dared to write.
I'm afraid that the happy ending in the minds of this literary and artistic young man will not be recognized by the public, and I'm afraid that the box office will hit the street again!
The last scene in the movie suddenly appeared in Meng Chao's mind. Staying on the note, there were no cries and tears, and the male protagonist just disappeared into the silhouette with his face blurred, still holding the bowl cake she wanted to eat......
That kind of falling optimism, the dissipating promise, and the last encouragement, when a person can face death calmly, is actually a kind of incomparable fear of survival.
"How are you going to write the ending?" Meng Chao asked after reading it.
Er Dongsheng said a little shyly: "I want the heroine to die of bone cancer." ”
Meng Chao said: "I also think that this ending is very in line with the tone of the whole movie, so write it as you want, and we will shoot this "New Love" after the beginning of the year." You are the director! ”
Er Dongsheng didn't expect that Meng Chao, the boss who usually seems to be very commercial, would agree to such a literary script, so Er Dongsheng was very surprised.
However, the basic filming plan of "New Love" has been finalized, and it will start shooting in March!

February 16, 1988.
Chinese New Year's Eve - Chinese New Year's Eve.
Another New Year is coming, and Meng Chao and many star artists of his Genesis Film Company have been asked to go to the Spring Festival Gala.
At this time, when countless viewers turned on the TV, they could already see that the host began to greet everyone seriously, and this year because of the popularity of "The Saint of Gambling", CCTV made a bold decision: to ask Zhou Xingchi to join the host of the Spring Festival Gala.
But the result is laughable.
Zhou Xingchi desperately wanted to use his unique nonsensical and funny way to create a joyful atmosphere for the New Year, but the partners around him were not Wu Junru and Wu Mengda, so he couldn't catch the stalks he threw out at all!
As a result, one side is an extremely serious CCTV hosting fan. On one side is a nonsensical funny host fan.
In the end, after a short period of hosting work, Zhou Xingchi could only choose to compromise and keep up with the footsteps of other hosts in a stricter style!
As a result, Zhou Xingchi, who was still funny before, suddenly became serious, but it was even funnier.
Many viewers laughed silly at the TV. As for the middle-aged and elderly people who don't pay much attention to variety shows and movies, it's very incomprehensible to see the younger generation laughing like this!
This Zhou Xingchi is a talent, and his hosting style is also very good, what's so funny?
Half an hour after the show started, Meng Chao was a special guest singer. once again appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
Last year, he sang the more literary folk song "Nanshan Nan", so this year Meng Chao made a little change and decided to change his style: rock!
Every professional singer will have envied rock singers, envied their energy on stage, envied their fans can be so crazy.
And Meng Chao is also a young man who likes rock and roll very much, and the "Your Look" and "Travel" he sang in the past at the Youth Innovation Competition are actually typical rock songs.
At this time, a new program introduction appears at the bottom of the TV screen:
"No Place to Shame".
Lyrics: Meng Chao, Composer: Meng Chao.
Singing: Meng Chao.
When it comes to Chinese rock songs, the Black Panther Band and "No Place for Self-Containment" are inseparable, so if you want to sing rock and roll, Meng Chao's first thought is "No Place for Self-Confidence".
Anyway, the Black Panther Band had just been established, and Meng Chao didn't bother to wait for them to launch this song, so he simply took CCTV's ready-made band to sing the song "No Place for Self-Confidence" on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
As the sound of the strong jazz drums sounded, the guitar and bass played and merged with each other, and the strong prelude immediately shocked the audience.
“hi~ye,hi~ye……
In the crowd of people, there are you and me. Meet, get acquainted, and ponder each other.
In the crowd, it is you and me. Pretend to be decent and smile.
You don't have to say too much, you know what you and I want to do!
Don't care a lot, and don't be sad. One day you will understand me!
In the crowd, I saw you again. Just as glamorous, as beautiful.
Slowly relaxing, slowly abandoning, and still don't care.
You don't have to say too much, you know what you and I want to do!
Don't care a lot, let alone be sad, one day you'll leave my ......" (To be continued.) )
