Chapter 354: Discussing the details of the script
"The film and television work you write can become a fabulous classic." Beni answered, then blushed and said, "I've watched this movie twice, it's very good!" After reading it, it will make me feel a little sentimental, and at the same time, it will reflect on ourselves. ”
"That's exactly what I want to see~" Chen Feng smiled honoredly.
"Will you shoot a sequel to 'Twilight', if yes? When are you going to shoot? Beni is asking this question for fans around the world, and many are looking forward to the sequel, to be able to continue the shock of the first episode, and maybe more to come.
Now that life is so busy, I have more expectations for classic movies in my heart, and I am naturally reluctant to give up, perhaps, some people regard this movie as an expectation.
"Hehe, it's a pity." Chen Feng smiled apologetically and said, "We haven't decided whether to shoot the sequel to "Dusk", but we won't shoot it for the time being in the next few years. Chen Feng saw Beni and immediately asked, he must have asked why, raised his hand to stop her question, and continued directly: "Mr. Li Haitao also persuaded me, fans want me to continue to direct the next sequel." But I think that classics cannot be copied, the preparation of a classic movie is definitely not something that can be completed in a year or two, and I am a little tired from making movies in the past few years, I want to take a break and feel the fun of campus life. ”
"You mean, you're going to be studying on campus for some time to come? Won't it continue to develop? Beni asked with some surprise, would anyone give up such a good situation and not take advantage of the opportunity to develop?
Chen Feng nodded: "Yes." I was also an audit student at the Hangzhou-Hong Kong Art Academy, but I never went to class once. ”
Beni nodded, put aside the question for a while, and asked: "You have set many records so far, and you have a high status in the film and television industry and the music industry, how do you think you have stood at the peak?" ”
That's a bit of a mysterious question! Speaking of which. Chen Feng's several records are indeed standing at the pinnacles of the entertainment industry, and the ratings records of TV dramas. Album sales records, movie box office records.
Count it out. It was indeed accidentally occupied by several top records!
Chen Feng was embarrassed in his heart, he didn't deliberately do this at first, he just did it when he met it. Nothing is certain that it will work.
"That's the question, I think, I can say that. I'm just doing it, and no one can guarantee success or not. It's like "Blair the Witch" only grossed a few million dollars in the first week! But I'm still me, and I don't think I'm at the bottom end. Of course, I'm still far from the highest peak! ”
Chen Feng said casually.
Subsequently, Beni asked Chen Feng about his future plans and how long he would study. What plans will you have when you feel that you have perfected yourself, whether it is to shoot a movie, or to release an album, or to shoot a TV series, etc.
Chen Feng's plan is to talk about it after this winter vacation! Maybe there will be action during the winter vacation, or not.
………………
really said that it was dark before Chen Feng left. Beni wanted to drive Chen Feng home, but Chen Feng refused, and it was almost nine o'clock when he rode home! The family had already eaten and left some for him.
Mom was watching TV, Chen Feng didn't know what she was watching, laughed for a while, cried bitterly for a while, and Chen Feng didn't care about her. After eating, I went back to my room and pondered "The Gangster Project".
Actually, writing a script is a very hard job! Chen Feng used to remember reading a lot of YY novels, in which the protagonist went back to the past, how to easily write a script, one a day or something. After Chen Feng himself had this opportunity to experience it, he scoffed at it! Watching a movie and expressing it in the form of a script are definitely two different things. It may not have come to me quickly to write a script based on inspiration. …,
Of course, writing a book is another matter. It's absolutely easy to write down what you've read, especially the books you like very much, and the books that understand the plots, characters, and thoughts in them are basically equivalent to copying according to a book. Chen Feng likes the excitement of creation when he writes "Zhu Xian", and he also likes the joy when he writes "The Best Family", all in one go.
Chen Feng's revisions to "Gangster Project" mainly focus on the details, for such a comedy-focused film, in addition to Xu Dongyang's funny tricks, the lines are also a highlight. Chen Feng considered that Xu Dongyang's Cantonese was not too standard, so he didn't design too long lines for him, and his dialogues were all very simple and short spoken words.
While performing "slimming surgery" on the original lines, Chen Feng also fully took care of Xu Dongyang's identity when revising the script, and appropriately added some lines with Yanjing flavor. In the plot of cooking noodles in the film, the original screenwriter took into account the habits of EU audiences and used the word macaroni, but Chen Feng changed it to noodles that Chinese people are used to calling.
The revision of the script has not yet been completed, and the director of the film, Xu Chengcheng, took the initiative to come to the door, he read the previous script, and then some ideas needed to be communicated with Chen Feng.
Maybe it's because of his high spirits, although Xu Cheng is now in his early forties, the years have not left too many traces on his face, his beard is neatly trimmed, and he still has a very personal length, although he is indoors, he still wears a pair of sunglasses, giving people a feeling of pretending to be cool.
Xu Dongyang's movie is the second shock wave after Li Xiaolong's movie detonated the Chinese kung fu fever in the world in the 7O years, Xu Cheng is also a fan of Hangzhou and Hong Kong kung fu films, I heard that he could cooperate with Xu Dongyang this time, he didn't even get the script, so he didn't hesitate to take this film.
When talking about Xu Dongyang's kung fu films, Xu Chengcheng became excited, even in the dim light in the compartment, he could see that there was a dream-like glow on his cheeks that were not busy. He leaned back in his chair and talked about Xu Dongyang's films like a drunken first love talking about his lover to people, whether Chen Feng wanted to listen to it or not, just talking, sometimes waving his arms, sometimes closing his eyes.
"I love Xu Dongyang's kung fu movies, especially the action movies he shot in the mainland with exaggerated action and funny details. Those things are Xu Dongyang's signature, and if there are these elements in a Xu Dongyang movie, then this movie will definitely be sought after by Xu Dongyang fans. ”
In the face of Xu Cheng, a "hardcore" Xu Dongyang fan, the only thing Chen Feng can do is to listen patiently.
"I watched the films that Xu Dongyang shot in the EU, and they were all too stiff, and Xu Dongyang was either partnered with a white blonde or a black man with a slang mouth. I don't think this combination is very suitable for Xu Dongyang. So in this movie, the real partner with Xu Dongyang should be the little baby, this kung fu man takes care of a small baby, and there will definitely be a lot of interesting scenes in this. In this way, the film not only has a joke, but also can make Xu Dongyang's joy in mainland action movies come out. ”
Speaking of excitement, Xu Cheng danced with his hands.
Chen Feng received some kind of inspiration from his thoughts, "Can you be more specific?" ”
"For example, the baby crawled on a high place and then fell down, and Xu Dongyang hurriedly caught him... I think that if such a plot is added to the script, the comedic effect created will definitely be more interesting than in "Home Alone", where the little boy spoofs two stupid thieves at home. Because the baby does not have a funny consciousness, all his actions are born in an unconscious state, but it is in this way that the comedic effect created will be more realistic. Seeing that Chen Feng was not resistant, Xu Cheng immediately put forward his own idea. …,
"According to your thoughts, I should portray Mr. Xu Dongyang in the script as a character who is responsive, witty and humorous, but his behavior is not lacking in funny?" Chen Feng asked along Xu Cheng's train of thought.
"If all screenwriters can have your ability to understand, Huaguo's films as a whole can rise to a higher level. Director Chen, you really deserve to be the magic boy of Huaguo, and it is a pleasure to talk to a smart person like you! ”
"What about the other character?" Waiting for Xu Cheng to return to his seat and sit down, Chen Feng shook his pen and asked, "If in the script, I play another male protagonist, then what kind of role should I portray this male protagonist into?" ”
"If it's Director Chen, please forgive me for my frankness... I don't think your image and temperament are suitable for comedy. ”
Xu Cheng said very directly, he was not afraid that Chen Feng would be angry, because he knew Chen Feng's temper. Chen Feng also accepted it calmly, "Then what should I do in this script?" ”
"In fact, as long as you put on a pair of sunglasses like me, stand in front of the camera, and do nothing, there will be fans who willingly pay for tickets for you, and being handsome is such a benefit!" Xu Cheng said with a sigh, he couldn't hear any sarcasm in his tone, on the contrary, there was a taste of envy, "If I really did this during the shooting, I guess you would definitely not do it." You're not the kind of actor who has a natural sense of joy, I don't mean derogatory, you can interpret it in disguise as a compliment. ”
"But in a comedy movie, I'm just handsome and cool, and I don't do anything else, and I don't have to think about it to know that it's a stupid thing!"
Xu Cheng clapped his hands and nodded affirmatively: "You have such an idea, which proves that you are more mature than most stars." In fact, there are many ways to make up for this lack of innate joy, but if you are spoofed nonsensically in the film, like Mr. Pea, it is estimated that your fans will definitely not agree, which is embarrassing...... There is no better way, we can only work on the lines, you need to try to prepare some humorous lines for yourself, in this film, you are a stupid thief who loves to be in the limelight and loves to pick up girls. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
