Chapter 202: A Genius Who Can Write a Script (Part II)
In Yang Lin's mind, the most classic romance films are at the top of the list "Titanic" and "The Love of People and Ghosts", which are inseparable, or reluctantly add a "Golden Jade League".
The consequence of choosing too many is this, you can grab a lot of suitable films at hand, but compared with them, I don't think they are so ideal. Since it is a script written for Ju Chuhong, the first element is that it must be a classic, a classic among classics. Then it will consider whether it suits her style and characteristics, whether it will conflict with the theme set in the original work, or some subtle changes can occur.
"Titanic" doesn't have to think about it, how can you shoot that kind of luxurious classic without a ship? What's more, this movie has long been in Yang Lin's plan, and it is the most critical part, and it can't be moved yet. "Ghost Love" can be described as a model of romance movies, and now it is very close to the release time of this movie, so you can completely ignore the surprise of the market and the audience, and I believe that it will be as successful as the original.
No matter how much you think about it, your head is about to explode, although this movie has already been made by countless "crossing the army", and even more so with the use of Chuhong to make this film, but Yang Lin believes that with his own skills, he still has the ability to control this film and make it a work that does not damage the original work, and even makes breakthroughs in some aspects.
When it came to the pen, Yang Lin just closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, and then he brushed and wrote quickly in the notebook.
Ju Chuhong looked at Yang Lin with a happy face, frowning, meditating, and then writing hard, his heart was already filled with sweet warmth, as long as he knew that he was really thinking about himself wholeheartedly at this moment, he was racking his brains for himself, and Ju Chuhong was satisfied.
Chen Anqi pouted disdainfully, in her opinion, Yang Lin was playing tricks to win Chu Hong's favor. Can you write a script with a pen in hand? Either it's a lie, or it's a nonsense to make up a lot of money, anyway, there is no third possibility. She thought proudly in her heart, after a while, she would use all the sarcastic and sarcastic words she knew on Yang Lin, and see what kind of face he faced, actually picking up girls in front of me? Looking at the nymphomaniac Jun Chuhong, I couldn't help but lament and hate that iron is not steel, the little girl now is really brainless and stupid, and it is too easy to take the bait.
Yang Lin is writing the script of "People and Ghosts Are Not Over", and Yu Yunhang is reading the script of "Midnight Bell".
For a moment, the four people at this table fell silent, and only the beautiful singing voice was gently remembered in the café.
Time slipped away quickly, and an hour later, Yang Lin and Yu Yunhang raised their heads almost at the same time, the former stretched out a breath of turbidity, and the latter's eyes lit up with excitement.
"How's this script?" Yang Lin was asking Yu Yunhang, but the script of "People and Ghosts Are Not Over" he had just written was dragged over by Chen Anqi, and he and Zhu Chuhong's two heads came together to read it.
Yu Yunhang was completely attracted by the script of "Midnight Bell", and the more he watched it, the more he became engaged, and he didn't notice what the other people said or did. He smacked his lips, thought for a moment and said, "I can't describe it, but I know this is definitely a horror movie destined to become a classic legend." In particular, your appearance setting about Sadako, the intermittent rough images, the composition like a beginner photographer, the naïve and complex picture is completely devoid of the context of film semiotics, which deepens the inexplicable fear in the hearts of the audience sitting on the chair of the theater. Whimsical, but fun and great! ”
It can be seen that Yu Yunhang is really impressed by this script, and the look of worship in his eyes is undisguised. He himself has deep and unique insights and experience in horror movies, and Yang Lin's detailed settings and sub-scene descriptions in the script made Yu Yunhang see the essence and uniqueness of this movie at a glance, and praised Yang Lin's screenwriting ability.
Yang Lin smiled and nodded: "Horror movies are difficult to make, not only do you need strong lens skills, but also a good script and a good story." How about it, I believe that Lao Xu has already told you, are you interested in coming over to help me shoot this movie? ”
"Why is the heroine's name Sadako? It's a bit of a naturalization. Yu Yunhang did not answer Yang Lin directly, but asked such a question.
"This film will cooperate with the son of the president of Yuben Dongbao Company, and there will be some elements of Yuben in the film as much as possible, so that when Yuben is released nationwide, it will be more recognized by the audience."
Yu Yunhang nodded, twisting his eyebrows, his face flickered and darkened, obviously fighting fiercely in his heart. Yang Lin quietly waited for his decision and did not interject.
Yu Yun-hang was a well-known director of the New Wave of Hong Kong cinema, known for his horror and horror films. The most representative is naturally the "Murder List", which is a rare classic in Hong Kong horror films, and it is also recognized as the most terrifying horror film in more than 20 years. Yu Yunhang is good at using a lot of photography skills and makeup stunts to enhance the thriller visual effects, and at the same time, the plot is laid out and extremely sensational and terrifying, such as the bizarre death of the three administrators in "The Murder List" and the pregnant wife demon upper body The atmosphere created by the scenes is enough to make people creepy, and the film ends abruptly when the husband waiting outside the door suddenly raises an axe to slash at the demon baby in his wife's arms, and the horror is brought into full play!
This person can definitely be called the number one master of Hong Kong horror films, and no one will surpass him in the next few decades. But I don't know why he suddenly quit the film industry in the 90s and worked in finance.
This is also a man with a story.
Looking at Chen Anqi who was watching with relish on the other side, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Yang Lin's mouth. Leaving this female director is not to say that Yang Lin wants to get her to Red Star Pictures, but his vision is very high, and ordinary people can't look down on her at all. But this Chen Anqi is young and beautiful and has a good relationship with Yu Yunhang, it can be seen that there should be a lot of influence and popularity among the directors of the "New Wave" period in the Hong Kong film circle.
Now there is a popular "borrowing style" in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, that is, taking some excellent things from other countries and slightly deleting and modifying them for their own use, which seriously affects the development of originality. The sinking factors of Hong Kong films in the 90s were varied, involving all aspects, and the lack of a good script was one of the serious reasons. Now you can still take those excellent works that are not widely known and keep them for yourself, anyway, no one knows where they came from, and who knows if you are cheeky and say that you are yourself? But in the 90s, the Internet was already very developed, and the upper and lower 5,000 years were in the small keyboard, who doesn't know that you plagiarize and plagiarize?
There are no excellent original works, and Hong Kong's movies and songs have declined rapidly, and they have gradually caught up and surpassed by South Korea, which makes people no longer sigh at the glory of the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Is there no talent in Hong Kong? Of course not, whether it's a song or a movie, there are countless excellent creative talents. But everyone fell into a strange circle: the script I worked so hard to create, as long as it was a hit, countless follow-up works were staged in the blink of an eye, and the box office was not bad. Do you think I'm wronged? I have paid a great deal of hard work and price, but others don't have to do anything, just follow me and learn. Why should I bother to work so stupidly? Over time, this cycle of evil surnames has become more and more powerful, and in the end, the result is naturally that the original is completely abandoned, and plagiarism has become a trend, and everyone is shameless anyway. When the Internet prevailed, everyone suddenly realized that it was over! Movie songs all over the world are on it, and you copied one today and the whole world knows it tomorrow morning. If you can't copy someone else's, your own original will be finished a long time ago, and the ending is that everyone should stop playing.
As a result, Hong Kong entertainment sank.
Even though Yang Lin can be said to be the biggest polluter of "plagiarism", he himself does not think so.
"The Love of People and Ghosts" Yang Lin only wrote a general story framework, after all, the time is too short, and it is impossible to describe the various settings in too much detail. But even so, the two women who watched it, Chen Anqi and Jun Chuhong, were shocked and shocked.
Novel and intriguing themes, unbelievable plots, romantic and touching love, unswerving persistence in life and death, what kind of head is this guy, can he actually come up with such a story?
Yang Lin looked at Chen Anqi and pointed to her script of "Voyeurism" disdainfully: "The movie is very important, he decides the style of a movie, the actors are very important, and he interprets the theme of a degree." But the essence of a movie lies in the script. With this script of mine, a photographer can make it a romantic and touching story that people will remember many years later; And this story of yours, even if you find the best director in the world, the box office will not exceed five million, and the most important thing is that after everyone sleeps, they can hardly remember what story this movie tells. Don't be unconvinced, it's useless if you don't accept it, this is a fact, you don't need to shoot it, the ending is already doomed. Why is there such a big gap? The script is the gap in the script. Plagiarism throughout the disgusting patchwork and then with the help of a well-known actress's passion play gimmick to attract attention, what can you expect him to achieve? You don't have that talent, and you haven't worked on the script at all, just take out a script and ask an actor to shoot it, you are simply desecrating the art of filming! ”
Yang Lin's words were merciless, like sharp steel needles piercing Chen Anqi's body, her face was bloody, and she didn't know whether she was ashamed or ashamed. The mouth was open and trembling, as if it was about to drink a dead fish.
Yang Lin sighed and slowed down: "I know it's not your fault, Hong Kong movies are like this, everyone does this, look at it, I don't know how many film companies are planning to follow the trend to remake "The True Color of Heroes" and "Mr. Zombie". I worked hard to write a script and make a movie that sold for 10 million, and you didn't do anything but followed me and sold 7 million, how do you balance your heart? I'm also going to learn from others, and I'll follow good movies when there's one. Everyone doesn't have to write scripts anymore, do you know what the consequences will be? It's serious, it's serious, it's so serious that you can't even imagine it. Hong Kong movies are bound to die. ”
Hong Kong movies are bound to die!
Chen Anqi's face had turned from blood red just now to pale. She gently put the script of "Voyeurism" into her bag, and thought about it, although she admitted that what Yang Lin said was very reasonable, and even a little deafening, but her consistent pride still made her a little resentful, treat me as your student? She bit her lip stubbornly: "I admit that what you said makes a lot of sense, but it's just your ideal." The reality is that everyone doesn't look at how good your movie is, whether it is original, and whether it will be original, everyone just looks at whether the movie will have a box office. If you can't get a return at the box office, who will invest in you? Who will give you a release? ”
Yang Lin smiled: "As long as your script is good enough, I will invest in you and I will release it for you." I don't care if you lose money, I just look at whether your script is good or not, whether it's a comedy, a horror movie or a romance movie, as long as there is something in your script that can achieve the purpose of this movie, and most importantly, it is an original work written by yourself, come to me! You can go out and tell the directors and screenwriters of all Hong Kong that everyone is treated equally, and the deadline for this sentence will never expire! ”
Chen Anqi was shocked, although she didn't quite understand why Yang Lin attached so much importance to the original script, but she could clearly feel Yang Lin's unwavering confidence and indomitable courage when he said this! But she just asked in a ghostly way: "You say that it is good, this standard is so judged?" "It's obviously a good script, but you just say no, who can help you?
"My Yang Lin's judgment is the standard."
When this sentence came out, Yang Lin was arrogant and domineering. (To be continued.) )
