And Wu Cheng's Fahan has been a photographer since he was a child in the original book, but he was forced to go to engineering school due to family pressure, and has always been Lancher's loyal friend, he went to the dean's office with Rancho to steal the roll for Lazu, and finally gave up the opportunity to interview with his father to express his ideals, was recognized by his father, and finally became a famous animal photographer.

Obviously, the author's setting of the family background of the French letter in the original novel is the middle class of the three kingdoms, but on the issue of interfering in the choice of children's growth, the Chinese governor also has the same strong mentality as the parents of the three kingdoms.

However, in the process of reshaping the story of the novel in the script, Chen Feng still set the family background of Fahan as the wealthy class of China. His father opened a company and wanted Fahanzi to follow in his father's business. Although Fa Hanzhi is not here, his father used his living expenses as a threat to force him to choose a subject he didn't like.

The most headache for Chen Feng is the setting of the protagonist Lan Che, the poor boy impersonating the master's son to go to college will not work at all in Chinese society.

Chen Feng really encountered a problem this time, he was thinking and thinking about it every day. His mind runs fast, his mind is chaotic. Then they all gather in one place, tangled together, and cannot be unraveled. The more he tried to solve it, the more he couldn't solve it. The more I thought about it, the more chaotic my heart became, and my mind seemed to have been stuffed into a stone, and I couldn't figure out my thoughts.

For several days, Chen Feng was struggling with this question, and when he was in the living room, he usually wrinkled his brows and closed his lips. The number of times Zhao Tianfeng and Wu Cheng quarreled was significantly reduced, and they were both afraid that they would disturb Chen Feng's thinking.

"Still having a headache about the script?" Zhao Tianfeng poured Chen Feng a cup of coffee. Sitting across from him with a book in his arms.

"I'm a little lost right now, and I don't know what to do with the identity of the main character. The novels are all stories about being born on campus, without too specific story clues, and some are full of anecdotes that can make people laugh off their big teeth. And as a movie, what it needs is a plot and clues! In Chen Feng's original conception, he planned to "encapsulate" the novel in a journey of search and memory, and the stories of those students on campus became fragments of interludes.

And in the original novel. The fragmentary stories are kneaded together to form a force that seeks to change the erroneous perceptions that people are accustomed to. And in the script, these clips have the funny characteristics of the original. It also has a layer of "judging society". Deeply influenced by the memory of "Three Fools in Bollywood", he couldn't find a suitable place in Chinese society to place the protagonist Lancher.

"According to my understanding of the novel "Five People". I don't think the most important thing is the background of the poor boy of Lancher. Zhao Tianfeng put down the book in his hand, and he found that Chen Feng had walked into a misunderstanding.

In that novel, the author adds a lot of commentary on the current situation. For example, the problem of education, the problem of love, and the problem of the system. It can be said that although this is a literary work with a campus theme, the author still adds a lot of romantic and idealistic elements to it. In the face of the chaotic and complex society facing the outside world, he hopes to establish an equal space in this relatively closed and simple environment. It can be said that this novel is a commentary on the author's society, which has too many mistakes, and he hopes that when there will be a person who dares to speak and act like Lancher in the novel. I think the most important theme in the original novel is not who Lancher is. It's what he did! ”

After saying this, Zhao Tianfeng closed the book in his hand, stood up, and patted Chen Feng on the shoulder, in order not to disturb Chen Feng's thinking. He decided to go back to his bedroom and read a book. …,

And Chen Feng seriously recalled Zhao Tianfeng's last sentence, Zhao Tianfeng's reminder was like a lighthouse in the night, helping him clear the fog and pointing out a new path. Recalling the previous thinking difficulties, Chen Feng suddenly found that all the thinking obstacles. It's all set up by him for himself. He has always wanted to adapt on the basis of respecting the original work, but he has been shackled to the content of the novel and cannot break through, so that he cannot make effective innovations while grasping the theme and ideas.

After thinking about this, Chen Feng felt a warm current rising from the bottom of his heart and permeating his whole body. Quickly invaded his body, reaching every pore at once. The joy of this sudden enlightenment made him unable to control himself, and he rushed into the bedroom in excitement, and couldn't wait to open his laptop, leaving a series of afterimages flying on the keyboard with his fingertips.

In Chen Feng's script, Lan Che is no longer a poor boy, he has a genius father, but because his father's thinking is too advanced, no one wants to accept it. On weekdays, his father was busy with scientific experiments and never cleaned up the courtyard, but Lancher was influenced by his father since he was a child, and his thinking was very different from normal. Other people's houses have beautiful lawns and neat flower terraces, while the front of Lancher's house is overgrown with grass.

Since the death of his mother, the family has been classified as eccentrics by the neighbors around them, and rarely interacts with them. Despite being ostracized by others, his father taught Lancher the most important thing, which is to ignore other people's eyes, strive for excellence, and success will run after you without pants.

According to this line of thinking, Chen Feng's final script basically broke free from the background setting of the original book, and only retained the theme idea. He gave the finished script to Chitan Bahat, and after reading it, the other party realized that for $200,000, Chen Feng had just bought one of his story ideas and some of the novel's funny passages from the schoolyard. Chen Feng's background conversion is very successful, and the script that Chitan Bahat got no longer has any traces of the culture of the Three Kingdoms, and what is alive is a picture of life in Chinese society.

Wu Cheng finally found a pure Southeast Asian student for the film to play the role of Lazu in the film, so that the three "fools" in the film were made up.

Because it is only a small-budget non-commercial film, the preparation of the film is also very simple, only the heroine Ye Rong is a real actor in the entire crew, and the other roles are all "friendly cameos" by college students in Hangzhou and Hong Kong. But the actual situation after the start of filming was not as simple as everyone expected, and the first set of shots of the film encountered almost insurmountable difficulties in shooting.

In this set of shots, Fahan, played by Wu Cheng, receives a phone call before the plane takes off, and his friend Lancher, who has been missing for ten years, finally has news, he pretends to have a heart attack, deceives the crew members, and forces the flight that has just taken off to land, and he himself escapes on the way to the hospital.

It is not difficult to capture the footage of the plane taking off and landing, but over the years, the security measures at Huaguo Airport have been tight, so the crew could not shoot in a real airport. The choice of this set of shots made Chen Feng hesitate for a long time, this is not a commercial movie, he can't build a location for a set of shots.

In the living room of dormitory 207, a discussion is underway about the choice of this set of shots. Zhao Tianfeng insisted that this very creative opening should be retained, while Wu Cheng thought that it was unrealistic to complete the shooting of this set of shots.

"Filming is not allowed in the airport, but there are still many scenes about the airport in Hangzhou-Hong Kong movies, how did they shoot it?" Zhao Tianfeng tried to give an example to support his point of view, "Last year, Mace also made a movie, "Come on Happiness", you all still have an impression, right? starring Toms, that film tells the story of his coup d'état in his hometown on the way to the United States, the government was overthrown, the documents he held were not recognized by the immigration authorities of the United States, he was denied entry but could not return to China, and was forced to stay at Kennedy International Airport. ”…,

"Chen Feng is not Mace, Yu Xiaobo is not Toms, this is not a United States, we are only making a small-budget non-commercial film!" Wu Cheng shook his head. Movies with three names like Mace, Toms and Catherine are naturally not to be underestimated. In fact, the film "Come on Happiness" itself does require huge production costs.

Because the screenwriter of that film happens to be Andrew, the director of "Lord of War", Chen Feng also knows the inside story of the filming of this film. Over the years, the security measures at Huaguo Airport have become increasingly strict, and trying to actually shoot an entire movie at the airport is tantamount to a dream.

In order to shoot this film, Mays designed and built a full-fledged airport of the same size as a real airport in California, and most of the filming work was completed in this simulated airport, and a small part was filmed at Mirabell Airport in Montreal, Canada, in order to cooperate with the shooting, the crew even borrowed a real Boeing 747 from United Airlines, such a high production cost is unaffordable for a non-commercial film.

Although Chen Feng's silence was already very revealing, Zhao Tianfeng still argued, "All we need is a shot, they can shoot in the airport, why can't we?" ”

Chen Feng's eyes lit up, Zhao Tianfeng's words opened him again, it was difficult for the crew to shoot in the real airport, but the crew of "Come on Happiness" built a permanent airport set in California.

In general, setting up a set for a film shoot is only for the sake of "superficial articles", and there is no need to pay attention to engineering issues. However, in "Come on Happiness", because the airport must have the proper function, every drawing completed by the art department must be carefully reviewed by professional engineers, and even every simple solder joint has not been neglected. Mace pursued the perfect set, but provided Chen Feng with an excellent shooting scene. (To be continued.)
