Chapter 686: Dreams and Reality

"If the script is not perfect, then it will not be more time-consuming to shoot, maybe there will be a plot that has already been filmed, but in the end I feel dissatisfied and invalidated? This is not only a waste of time, but also complained about by the actors. Ye Cheng looked aggrieved, in fact, many actors were willing to let him toss.

Or take the king of sunglasses as an example, the stars who have worked with him have complained countless times, but not countless people want to squeeze their heads to fight for a role. Those who claim to be international superstars, who put small and medium-cost protagonists don't do it, and would rather make cameos in his movies.

"It seems to make sense, bring me the script and I'll take a look at it." Time is tight and the task is heavy, Ye Cheng really can't figure it out and shoot while conceiving, so it can only be like this, Ye Cheng was even more depressed when he heard it, and said: "You didn't read the script just now?" Are you worthy of me? ”

"It's not that I didn't look at it, but I didn't look closely." Zhang Qiuxi didn't watch it carefully, mainly because he was afraid that after watching it, he couldn't help but point fingers, and turned Ye Cheng's movie into his movie again, and now if you want Ye Cheng to improve the script, you can't understand it so vaguely.

"I Am a Great Director" is the name of Ye Cheng's script, which is very straightforward. If it was Zhang Qiuxi, she would definitely have a name like "on the road", and it was obvious that Ye Cheng was not as young as her. Of course, there is no problem with this name at all, just like James in the original plane. Cameron, Christopher. Like Nolan, even if the movie is named "This Film is a Piece of Flight", there will only be more people who rush into the cinema.

Even if it is really filmed in front of a piece of Xiang for 90 minutes, the audience will only interpret the deep meaning behind it, and if anyone says that it is not good-looking, it will definitely be scolded by countless people for not being able to understand it. Ye Cheng's overall influence is much worse than these two. But if it's only in China, it's also a box office guarantee to show its name. The name doesn't matter at all, so Zhang Qiuxi doesn't make sense.

In one sentence, the story is about a man who dreams of being a director. A story with a group of people who love movies chasing their dreams. To be a little more detailed, the protagonist has a dream of directing, but he accidentally failed to enter the film school, and met a group of people who love movies in a school that originally had no good feelings.

Everyone hit it off and decided to make their own movie, so they began to divide their labor, writing scripts and pulling investment, a series of farces. After solving countless difficulties, he finally realized his dream.

The story is quite simple, but after all, Ye Cheng is already an experienced director, and the script is still clear-eyed, but after all, he is still not very good at creation, the script can only be regarded as decent, the laughter is very good, and the tears are a bit far-fetched, like you can join the cheating tears and write the crying scene for the crying scene.

"The story is quite full. The plot is quite funny, and on the whole, it is a well-layered movie, and it is quite inspirational. Zhang Qiuxi took a closer look and then commented, Jiang Xiaoting glanced at her man and said, "I'll just say no." ”

"Senior Sister Xiaoting. I obviously gave a positive evaluation, didn't I say no? ”

"Come on, you don't have to save face for Ye Chengcheng. If you use four in a row, it's okay, and repeated affirmation equals negation. It's not that such an evaluation can't do it, so what is it? Ye Qingqing rolled her eyes, and Ye Cheng also said, "Big sister." Don't tease me, just say what should happen. ”

Zhang Qiuxi said helplessly: "Actually, some of your settings are really exciting, for example, because there is no funding to film such a scene, but the ending and the deliberate traces of tears are too heavy and far-fetched." ”

Zhang Qiuxi didn't deliberately "tease" Ye Cheng, but really felt that many places were very exciting, and the movie that the protagonists wanted to make in this script was also a story of pursuing their dreams.

The protagonist pulled the team up, but pulling investment everywhere was a nose of dust, and they didn't even have the money to buy professional equipment, so they could only scrape together some pocket money to buy a DV. The movies they shoot need to describe the difficulties encountered in attracting investment, and this is also true in reality, so they simply shoot secretly when they go to attract investment, creating a play within a play.

Seeing the plot of pulling investment in the script, Zhang Qiuxi immediately thought of a movie called "Micro Love: Getting Better" in the original time and space, she originally thought it was a romantic comedy, so she went to watch it. As a result, there are laughs, but what he sells in his bones is literature and art, and it suddenly dawned on him when he saw the director's name.

This movie is also about chasing dreams, and it just so happens that the dream of the protagonist is also a movie, but the ending is a little sad, and one of the dreams failed to come true and received a lunch. The movie didn't get much critical acclaim, but it should be a lot of improvement if it was revised.

"If you want to try a different style, maybe a literary film is a good try." Zhang Qiuxi said: "Now the jokes in the script can be retained, but there is no need to deliberately let the protagonists realize their dreams, they are originally a group of college students, why do they realize their dreams early?" Just tell a story that not all dreams can come true, and reality is not so beautiful. ”

"What logic, isn't it good to realize your dreams too early?" Yang Jie expressed doubts, Zhang Qiuxi said: "The point is that not everyone can realize their dreams, many times dreams have to bow to reality, we must not only teach people to persevere, but also tell people how to make trade-offs." ”

"I've always gone to the movies for fun, and if I can entertain me, I don't need movies to teach me anything. What do you need teachers and parents to do after you have been taught in film and television, you are not from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, don't keep thinking about educating others. "This is the point of view of the red bean.

Zhang Qiuxi said: "But this has depth and connotation, and you can win the award." ”

"Big sister, forget it." Ye Cheng said weakly, and Zhang Qiuxi continued: "Are you sure? I already have a mature idea, and the slogan has been thought of, so I will say that the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny. ”

Ye Cheng sweated wildly and said: "Eldest sister, I really don't like lifeless literary films, otherwise I would have written it like that at the beginning, you should help me improve the script from the perspective of laughter." If you want a happy ending and a special inspirational feeling, don't separate the hero and heroine. ”

"I think you deliberately piled up tears, and I thought you liked such stories. I also understand when I hear you say this, although the story is not the same, but it is obviously based on you, you not only realized your dream but also hugged the beauty, and the dismantling of the hero and heroine in the movie does not match the real situation, and it is not kind to teach others to give up their dreams when they realize their dreams. ”

Zhang Qiuxi glanced at it twice and saw that this is a movie similar to autobiography, the ending of the actor realizing his dream and holding the beauty by the way is clichΓ©, but Ye Cheng and Jiang Xiaoting don't want to pursue anything different, such an ending is a good wish for them and a feeling.

It's better not to destroy it, then it's best to copy another movie, but Zhang Qiuxi still doesn't plan to directly help Ye Cheng revise the script, but just like when he asked the animation company to produce the theatrical version of "Machine Qì Cat", he only gave advice and let him improve it himself.

This is not to cultivate Ye Cheng's creative ability, but in this case, this is still his movie, if Zhang Qiuxi makes a move, it will really become her movie, and it will be negative to Ye Cheng's original intention, so he said: "In this case, all the tears should be deleted, and it is enough to leave only one scene." ”

"Which one?" Ye Cheng immediately asked, and Zhang Qiuxi said: "Of course it's the last one, how absurd the front is, you can press it at the end, and the ending will be more violent." Anyway, I've been a director for so many years, and I can't see this kind of habitual discussion? ”

"Isn't it confusing for me to care?" Ye Cheng laughed dryly twice and said, "Eldest sister, you go on." ”

Zhang Qiuxi continued: "Don't drag on too much in the foreshadowing, as much as you can enter the filmmaking process, you don't need so many main roles, I know you still want to DV club, but can so many people arrange it?" If the characters are not plump, there is no room for discovery at all, and it is useless to promote the plot, so what are you kept? ”

Ye Cheng nodded, and Zhang Qiuxi said again: "Then it's the point, I think this play within a play is quite interesting, why can't you dig into this aspect, isn't it very novel to shoot the whole movie in a way like a play within a play." ”

Ye Cheng didn't seem to understand, and the others were also confused, so Zhang Qiuxi said: "This part of yours is, because you don't have the funds and can't hire a suitable actor, so you just use candid photography to solve this shot when you go to attract investment, and all other shots can also be solved in this way." ”

After a pause, Zhang Qiuxi asked again: "What kind of director did you dream of becoming?" ”

Zhang Qiuxi originally thought that Ye Cheng would say that he would be a director who could arbitrarily uncover the rules, but this guy smiled, but said: "At the beginning, I wanted to not only be a director, but also to be a superstar director who could choose all the big names, even the directors who played the tricks were superstars." ”

"Well, that's fine." Zhang Qiuxi nodded, from another aspect, in fact, it is to be the director of the biggest name, how to invite stars if he is not big enough, so she continued: "The protagonist in the story is full of enthusiasm and does not know the height of the sky, not only to make movies, but also to make movies with big names, isn't it better." ”

"The question is, where do they go to find the big names?" Shangguan Jin couldn't help but answer the question after hearing this, and Zhang Qiuxi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if the protagonist in the story can be found or not, as long as Ye Cheng can find it." ”

"I see." After she finished speaking, Ye Cheng's eyes lit up and jumped up with joy. (To be continued......)
