Chapter 21: A Good Night

Three months of overtime work is exhausting, so there will never be anyone who behaves like a gentleman and lady, everyone revels unscrupulously with wine bottles, and there is no director, protagonist, or supporting role, only the object of drinking. Especially Stephen, this guy usually yells on the set, directing people to go east and west, which will make everyone use him as an enemy at the wine table, and after a while, this guy will be gorgeously hitting the street.

Liang Xiaolong is also relaxed, the shooting is over, and his work as an action director is over, which will be completely idle. Originally, Liang Xiaolong was going to return to China after filming, but because "Never Compromise" will hold its premiere the day after tomorrow, that is, on 7.28, Liang Xiaolong will not only attend, but Liang Jin and Ye Ying will also rush over, and they can return to China together at that time.

But I'm used to it, and Liang Xiaolong is really a little unaccustomed to it, and he can't help but think of his original plan - to direct a film himself. Liang Xiaolong began to look back at the films he had watched in his previous life, which was a whole library of blockbusters, with movies of all genres, but there was no doubt that they were either classics or blockbusters, because he would almost forget about the average quality of the films, and even leave the theater after only half watching them, and then curse the director and actors for a few words.

Liang Xiaolong also discovered a phenomenon, everything that sells well is either a big production and the scene is gorgeous; Either it is very artistic and thought-provoking. However, Liang Xiaolong has just debuted and is seriously inexperienced, and directing these two types of films will most likely ruin a good script. However, he immediately realized that his way of thinking was wrong, and according to this selection method, he could not think of what movie to make next year, but should choose the script from what he is good at.

"Designing action is undoubtedly my forte, so let's make an action movie?" Liang Xiaolong thought that this idea was very good, and he could integrate his understanding of kung fu into the film and show more Chinese elements. However, Liang Xiaolong immediately discovered that everything that Hollywood produces action movies that can sell big is basically big-budget films, and he is not capable of directing now, and Hollywood's action movies are very dull, if he wants to make this kind of film, he has to redesign it like "Tomb Robbery".

If Hollywood can't make it, then change to a domestic one, and many films don't have a lot of investment, but they are exciting enough. But Liang Xiaolong was depressed again, what is made in China is good, but if it is filmed in Hollywood, even if it is not a domestic film, it is equivalent to turning a Chinese classic into a foreign classic, isn't that a betrayal of the cultural products of the motherland? As a time-traveler, it would be good not to turn foreign classics into domestic classics, so can you turn domestic classics into American classics? This kind of thought must be resolutely blocked, otherwise it will be a big shame to meet the same traverser in the future.

"It is estimated that there is no drama in action movies, so make comedy films, comedy films do not have much investment, and the shooting is simple, the key is the script." Speaking of comedies, the first thing that comes to mind is Xing Ye, the nonsensical founder is definitely the king of drama in the hearts of thousands of fans. In his previous life, when Xing Ye faded out of the film and television circle after filming "Yangtze River No. 7", Liang Xiaolong was sad for a while, and later heard that Xing Ye was going to shoot "New Journey to the West", Liang Xiaolong was looking forward to it again, but before the film came out, he was hit by that damn Porsche for 95 years.

However, in the same idea, it is naturally impossible for Liang Xiaolong to pirate Xing Ye's films. But he hasn't seen many Hollywood comedies, and the ones he remembers the most should be "Forrest Gump" and "Home Alone", the former cannot be regarded as a traditional comedy, with a strong artistic atmosphere, which is not suitable for the current Liang Xiaolong, and it was released as early as 94 and hit a legendary box office of 670 million. The latter was released earlier, in 90, and hit a box office of 530 million. So if you want to pirate these two films, it's no fun, but for a while, Liang Xiaolong can't think of the comedy that sells well.

"Honey, isn't it cool for me to dress up?" Rachel walked over, and today she was wearing this denim on purpose, and she was carrying a bottle of red wine, which was really cool. Liang Xiaolong couldn't help but wonder: "It's pretty cool, but no matter how cool it is, it's pretending, and it can't hide the classical temperament and beauty on your body." Rachel smiled: "I've grown up in sycophancy, what were you thinking about just now?" The brow furrowed so tightly. ”

"I said I wanted to direct a film myself, and I was thinking about the script." Liang Xiaolong smiled bitterly: "But it's really not easy to write a script with a simple plot and selling points." Of course, Liang Xiaolong still had to say in his heart: "It's not easy to pirate this kind of script." ”

"It's not easy to write a script, let alone the kind that is suitable for you to direct." Rachel laughed, "But dear, you have to have fun when you play, this is not the time to think about work." ”

"Creation?" It was as if a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed through his head: "Perhaps, I can try to create my own crew and direct it myself, isn't that also a very interesting thing, even if it fails, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to start all over again." ”

The carnival lasted until midnight, and Liang Xiaolong took this Rachel to withdraw first, and the group of cattle was estimated to have to make trouble all night. Downstairs, Liang Xiaolong hugged Rachel with his hands: "Baby, I love you." Rachel said, "I love you too, why did you suddenly remember to say this?" Liang Xiaolong said: "Baby, can you go to my house?" I think our relationship is up to the standard of cohabitation. Rachel said, "I thought you were going to send me home stupidly." ”

Men love monkeys, women love perfection, Liang Xiaolong wanted to push it directly, but was pushed into the bathroom by Rachel: "I stink of sweat, I don't want to be smoked by you." Liang Xiaolong pulled Rachel: "Wash together." Rachel gave him a blank look: "If you want to be beautiful, wash it quickly, I still have to wash it when I'm done." ”

Liang Xiaolong was very helpless, so he washed quickly, and then collapsed on the bed, laughing while thinking about those scenes, feeling a little infiltrating. The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and Liang Xiaolong smiled even more cheaply, but the beautiful woman did not come in for a long time, which made Liang Xiaolong very depressed, and when he came out, he found Rachel sitting on the sofa in the living room, her face flushed, and her hand kept pulling the corners of her clothes. Liang Xiaolong couldn't help but laugh, and walked over to hug her: "Baby, nervous? Rachel nodded slightly: "Xiaolong, why don't you change the day?" ”

"Baby, I can't wait." Liang Xiaolong's hands roamed over her body, their breathing became more and more rapid, and a wordless heat swept over them, and they rolled together frantically, as if they wanted to integrate each other into their bodies and become a part of themselves. They lingered from the living room to the bedroom, and the two ** were entangled, alive and fragrant, **full of ...... (I don't want to be harmonized, so everyone imagines for themselves, hehe.) οΌ‰

At the first break, they hugged each other tightly, gasping for breath, feeling the love coming from each other, at this moment, he was her man, and she was his woman. After a long time, she flattered him: "You are like a beast." Liang Xiaolong smiled, the first battle could make Rachel leak three times, and this result made him feel very accomplished: "I suddenly thought of the subject, or write a script about Beauty and the Beast." Rachel slapped him and said coquettishly, "Don't think about such dirty things." Liang Xiaolong laughed, and his hand wandered dishonestly over her: "Then what do you say I should think?" ”

"Don't." Rachel hurriedly grabbed his hand: "You are such a beast, you don't know how to pity me at all, I am swollen everywhere." Liang Xiaolong couldn't help but laugh, people who practice Neijiaquan have much more physical functions than ordinary people, and no one is an exception, Rachel is the first time, where can he withstand his toss.

In the early hours of the morning, Liang Xiaolong hugged the jade man but couldn't sleep, still thinking about the script. In fact, in my heart, Liang Xiaolong prefers to pirate rather than original, the original is too laborious, and the reputation and box office are not guaranteed. Piracy is different, they have all gone through the test of history, even if they can't be filmed better than the original, but as long as they are about the same, the box office is guaranteed. But the key is that I can't find a suitable one for a while: "It seems that I can only create on my own." With this idea, Liang Xiaolong began to select materials, of course, he didn't expect to shoot anything classic and popular, as long as he could show a complete story, the audience just said good after watching it.

Liang Xiaolong returned his mind to the original route, what he was good at, and then what subject he filmed. In his previous life, he belonged to the post-90s, what did the post-90s rely on to understand society? It can be said that it basically comes from the Internet, especially when he is still in school. The Internet is a strange world, there is a mess, Furong sister Sister Feng Yanzhao door drag racing door、、、 of course, there are also many classics circulating on the Internet, such as some lines, brother is not smoking a cigarette is lonely, don't be obsessed with brother is just a legend、、、 these are not funny in 2011, but when they first appeared, they were undoubtedly popular all over the Internet and all over China.

"Combine the classics of the internet into a comedy?" Liang Xiaolong thinks this method is feasible, but he is also a little worried, there is a saying that it is not that half a step ahead of the times is popular, and one step ahead of the times is a hooligan, and it is too scary to put things out in the 21st century now? To borrow another Internet red word: Thunder people?

Lei Bulei others Liang Xiaolong didn't know, but if he really wrote such a script, he first had to give himself to Lei: "But even if you can thunder yourself, how can you make people laugh?" Anyway, it's right to write it first, and then let Rachel, Julia, and Brandon help them evaluate it, if it really doesn't work, it's a big deal to throw it away, and it's just a waste of time anyway. ”

If the genre is determined, the plot must be determined, even if it is a nonsensical drama of the star master, there must be an acceptable plot, right? Now Liang Xiaolong is really in trouble, between friends, between enemies, between fathers and sons, between husband and wife、、、 the whole society is the theme, but it is because there are too many themes that it is difficult to determine, no matter which one you choose, there is a feeling of taking care of one or the other: "It would be nice if there was only one choice, not even A and B." ”

"Do you want to draw lots to decide?" Liang Xiaolong's body has indeed inherited a part of Ye Ying's evil genes, such an important matter he can actually decide by drawing lots, if the film is a big hit, will fans have the idea of killing him when they know about it? But he didn't think about it so much now, he got up in a hurry, brought a piece of paper, wrote down all the topics he could think of, and then scrambled, closed his eyes, and pulled out a random one: "No, it's the last thing I want to choose?" ”;
