Chapter 305: Lao Mouzi has dug up a treasure
"What are you two talking about, so lively." Lao Mouzi arrived before he arrived, and said happily.
Although Lao Mouzi has always given people a serious and serious feeling, after getting along with him for a long time, you will find that this person actually has a good temper. At least in the past two days, Liu Yufan's feelings about him have slowly improved.
"Hehe, you're definitely interested. Come on, Director Zhang, look at what good things Yufan has come up with again? Li Yi said, picking up the notebook that had just been placed on the table like a baby.
"Hehe, Brother Li, I haven't written this yet, don't let Director Zhang laugh." Seeing that Li Yi was in such a hurry to give his things to Lao Mouzi, Liu Yufan said with some embarrassment.
"What's the joke, I think it's good when I watch it, let Director Zhang, a professional director, help you check it and see if there is any hope, hehe." Li Yi said with a smile.
"What a baby, I don't know music, you show me staves, you might as well throw me into the sea." Lao Mouzi said with a smile, and then took the notebook handed over by Li Yi.
"It's not a score, it's a script. Yufan, this guy is an all-rounder, I just watched it, and the writing is really good, maybe it can really be made into a movie, you are always an expert in this area, you give it a palm. Li Yile said hehehe.
"Yo, script, then I'll have to take a look." As soon as the old business was mentioned, Lao Mouzi's spirit immediately came up, and he opened the book and read it.
"Pirates of the Caribbean? I said Yu Fan, why are you screwed up with pirates, the song you wrote is a pirate, and this script is a pirate, hehe, do you have a pirate complex. Lao Mouzi said with a smile.
"Director Zhang, it's not that I have a pirate complex, but the script of "He'sapirate" and this "Pirates of the Caribbean" is originally a story. Didn't you tell me before that the idea of this music video could be made into a movie? This is the film I wrote based on this tune. Liu Yufan explained with a smile.
"Yo. Really, talent! Lao Mouzi said, Chong Yufan gave a thumbs up, and then looked at the content of the script.
Originally, he stretched out his thumb to the other party, which was also a sign of etiquette, and he actually didn't have much hope for what this young man under twenty years old wrote. After all, in his eyes. Those well-known screenwriters don't know how much they have seen, and this kind of thing written by novices is generally not much better.
But this look surprised him!
Actually, in terms of writing skills. The feeling of this script in his hand can only be average, and if he insists on evaluating it, he may still fail, because it is too common, and there are even many common sense mistakes.
However, when Lao Mouzi reads scripts, he never judges heroes only by how well they are written, if that is the case, he is not picking scripts but literary works. He reads a script. The most important thing is whether the story is good or not, and whether there is anything new.
And the script in his hand at the moment, the most attractive thing to him is precisely these things.
A slightly sinister pirate, treasure hunting, curses, and great battles. Tight plot ...... Although the writing of this script is not very good, it has to be said that it is very readable. Even if it's just a script, it can attract people with a kind of ** that they have to read.
Seeing that Lao Mouzi quietly read the script and stopped talking, Li Yi and Yu Fan didn't bother him, and waited quietly on the side. The lunch box on the table was still steaming hot and smelling enticing, but no one moved.
The script written by Liu Yufan is still very simple. And he only wrote half of it, so it only took about ten minutes for Lao Mouzi to read it through.
The script I saw was not finished, and Lao Mouzi was somewhat regretful. put down the script, and when he looked at Liu Yufan again, there was no longer just the polite appreciation in his eyes. It's full of surprise! …,
"Yu Fan, this~~ This is what you wrote?" Lao Mouzi looked at Liu Yufan and did not hide his surprise at all! He really couldn't imagine that an Oriental person would have such a fantastic Western thinking in his head! Although this is just an unfinished script, the huge background of this story, the wonderful content, and the peculiar setting are far beyond the works that Lao Mouzi has seen before. It can be said that, creatively speaking, the script he has seen so far is the best he has ever seen.
It's not surprising that a work that can create a miracle at the box office of one billion, as long as a director with a little vision will find the shining points.
"Hehe, Director Zhang, I'll make you smile." Liu Yufan nodded and smiled.
"Director Zhang, how is this script written?" Seeing that Lao Mouzi's expression was a little strange compared to just now, Li Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Awesome, awesome! The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, I didn't expect you to be so young, you can write such an imaginative thing, I have seen a lot of powerful screenwriters before, to be honest, although their things are better than yours, but when it comes to storytelling and imagination, it is far behind, one in the sky, one underground! When Lao Mouzi said this, he waved his arms a little excitedly.
"Hehe, Director Zhang, you have won the award, I just like to think nonsense." Liu Yufan said with some embarrassment. In any case, after all, it is something that has been "borrowed" from "predecessors", and it is praised as original, and he can't help but feel a little weak-hearted.
"What nonsense! I tell you, don't think like that! Young people, do you know what is the most precious thing in this world? Lao Mouzi stared at Liu Yufan and asked loudly.
"I don't know." Seeing that Lao Mouzi was a bit of an "immortal", Liu Yufan honestly cooperated.
"The human mind! At any time, don't be arrogant about your thoughts, the biggest problem in our China now is that many people's thinking is too rigid, how can it be caused? Educate! The cultivation of exam-oriented education from an early age has stifled the imagination of many people. Why can't the Chinese make Hollywood blockbusters? Is it because China has no money? Is it because there are no good actors in China? Neither? I tell you, it's just that the Chinese's thinking is too rigid, I don't imagine it, I don't imagine what good things can be filmed? Lao Mouzi seemed to have talked about the place of rise and talked eloquently.
Seeing that Lao Mouzi was a little excited, Liu Yufan and Li Yi didn't know what to say, so they had to put on a deaf look.
Fortunately, Lao Mouzi complained for a while, and finally returned to reality. Looking at the script in his hand, Lao Mouzi was full of praise and said: "I thought it would be a small job to shoot this MV for you, but I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain." Yu Fan, I want this book from you, and I want it for any amount of money. This book, I must shoot him out, and I will shoot it if I lose money! Lao Mouzi waved his hand and said.
Looking at Lao Mouzi's resolute look, Liu Yufan couldn't help but be secretly amused, and dared to be affectionate, if this film was really filmed, how could he lose money? I'm afraid you'll earn cramps in your counting hands! Moreover, if this classic movie is really born in your hands, it is estimated that it is not just as simple as making money, this old man is probably really going to become a world-class director!
Thinking of this, Liu Yufan couldn't help but feel a wave of ambition. It is also a matter of pride that such a legendary movie can now be born under his own hands. Thinking of this, he was just having fun at first, but now he feels full of passion and drive.
"Yu Fan, you don't want to go anywhere this afternoon, just write this script well. Xiao Li, you must arrange someone to provide Yu Fan with the best writing environment, and don't let people disturb him. Do you know? What he is creating now is a stunning work, do you understand? Lao Mouzi committed the momentum of the literary youth again, and waved his arms again as he spoke. …,
"Hehe, Director Zhang, don't worry, I promise to arrange someone to watch and not let anyone disturb Yufan. Oops, I didn't expect it, it's really right to ask you to shoot the MV, no, you two hit it off at first sight, and it's really a bit of a New Year's friendship, hehe. Li Yi said with a smile.
"Hehe, I'm a person, I just like talented young people, this young man is good, he can write tunes and scripts, amazing!" Lao Mouzi said, and stretched out his thumb at Liu Yufan, and the three people in the room laughed.
"Yo, I'm chatting, this meal is cold, I'll go and order a few more." Li Yi looked at the boxes of lunches on the table and said embarrassedly.
"What's it called, let's go, I'm in for a treat today, let's go eat seafood." I got such a good book, I have to celebrate. Lao Mouzi waved his hand and said boldly.
"Hehe, Director Zhang, I think it's better to wait for next time, taking advantage of this heat, I want to finish the book at once." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, hey, look at me, I almost delayed a big event when I was happy. You write, you write, and when it's finished, I'll ask the whole crew to hold a celebration banquet for you! Lao Mouzi laughed and said loudly.
The three of them ate something hastily, and after Lao Mouzi told Li Yi again, he took someone to film. Leaving Liu Yufan alone in the room, he opened the script again, and after sorting out some thoughts in his mind, the tip of the pen began to "rustle" on the paper.
With a little increase in words, this grand epic work full of legends has gradually come to an end. The more Liu Yufan wrote, the more excited he became, and with Lao Mouzi's encouragement, he was more motivated to write, and his writing was much more vivid than in the morning.
"How about Yufan? Is it finished? As soon as the afternoon shooting ended, Lao Mouzi couldn't wait to run to Liu Yufan to inquire about the progress.
"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!" Liu Yufan said with a smile, and then handed him the notebook in his hand.
