Chapter 299: In the future, this will be a literary film
On the second day after returning to Yanjing, according to Zhao Danfeng's instructions, Wang Xiaoshuai and Cai Shangjun came hand in hand. It's not the first time they've come to the North Film Venue, and they're familiar with the road. However, I still feel quite shocked when I see Li Shaohong spending a lot of money to re-set the set, and then think about the amount of investment in this movie that I am going to make, I suddenly feel that there is a future in making a TV series, well, money. How easy it is to deceive the investor's money, and if you move your mouth, you can get tens of millions of dollars, Wang Xiaoshuai's excited little face shook fat.
When he arrived, Zhao Danfeng was sitting on the stone railing, watching the crew shoot from afar. Cai Shangjun slapped it quietly, and almost didn't fall from the two-story building, if Wang Xiaoshuai hadn't grabbed it quickly, it would have been Zhao Danfeng's memorial day today next year.
Zhao Danfeng patted his chest, gasped for breath, and sat on the floor, "Lao Cai, you want me to say it directly, my beneficiaries have written you." Spare my brother's life, I haven't lived enough. ”
Cai Shangjun was not very embarrassed, scratching his head, "If you miss it for a while, you are too serious." ”
"Don't I take it seriously, after the play, ask me if I play well, and if there is any problem with my expression, I can't answer, it's just a scolding." Zhao Danfeng said with a bitter face, Hu Jing may be because of her first play, and she is really strict with herself. But it's not good to ask the director for every scene, so I have to ask Zhao Danfeng. This made Zhao Danfeng miserable, and he had to watch every scene carefully. Shengsheng has been promoted from a passerby to the role of a full-time assistant director.
"You're also in a panic, go to my place to discuss the script, and there won't be such a thing." Cai Shangjun finally found a reason to fight back, and was sprayed by Zhao Danfeng again, "I didn't look for you when I was at school?" What are you doing? I don't have a nest all day. Who knows where you're messing around. You don't know my phone number? Don't call me? ”
Wang Xiaoshuai looked at Cai Shangjun very embarrassed. Quickly explained, "At that time, I was doing the second repair, and I was busy. ”
"I'll take a look at the script." Zhao Danfeng saw that Cai Shangjun was holding the script, so he was about to come over to watch it, "Help me watch your junior sister act first, otherwise I won't know when I get out of the play." I'm dead, and you don't want to be comfortable. ”
Cai Shangjun was helpless and leaned on the railing to watch the big show. Zhao Danfeng pulled Wang Xiaoshuai aside to discuss the script.
"The fat man is my senior brother, I'm used to fighting with the two, don't worry about Director Wang." Zhao Danfeng first explained to Wang Xiaoshuai, lest Wang Xiaoshuai think that he was quite domineering.
"It's okay, you take a look first, the script may be a little different from the story you said." Wang Xiaoshuai was not in a hurry, Shen Bing found a small horse and sat for Wang Xiaoshuai, Zhao Danfeng sat on the steps, it seems.
Cai Shangjun's new script. The content has been greatly revised, or it is a self-innovation that is closer to this era. For example, the heroine can't be a school student. It doesn't matter what kind of birth you are, whether you meet the age of marriage or not, it doesn't work. Directly changed to a white-collar worker in a new era company who just graduated from college, and the school background naturally became the company background.
"In fact, you can directly ask Song Ke for help, and the company can provide the venue to the crew. Either you can find Chinese, aren't they all serious companies, and the decoration is quite stylish. Zhao Danfeng said, Wang Xiaoshuai nodded, "In this way, the cost can also be saved a lot, and it is a music company, which makes some passages not seem very abrupt, and the collective activities of the group performance in the play will not make people feel incredible." In the end, your story is a little ahead of its time, and you may be able to write a script according to the original story in Xiangjiang. ”
"It's good to fit." Zhao Danfeng smiled and continued to look.
There haven't been too many changes in the bridge, of course, in terms of details, Cai Shangjun has done more artistic processing, which makes the whole story look particularly down-to-earth. There is no such thing as the feeling of jumping at the beginning of the Internet era. Calm and concise, Zhao Danfeng doesn't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, and he changed a commercial film to a literary film style, and this script is not quite the same as his original intention.
It's not that this film doesn't have the potential of a literary film, in fact, from the perspective of the story content, this film is also a very warm literary film when it is changed to a literary film, and it is definitely a good story. But it also depends on who shoots it, at this stage, the mainstream domestic literary films are still a little deeper, and the theme is more profound, so that the audience can't understand it, and it is supplemented by understanding. The director's personal will is more thorough, and he takes less care of the audience.
Like "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", the domestic box office is a mess, and no movie theater is willing to buy a copy of the film, and it sells well abroad. Why, it's simple, tell you from the beginning, what theme is this film, it's warmth. Undoubtedly, this story also has such potential, it depends on what Wang Xiaoshuai thinks.
So after watching it for a long time, Zhao Danfeng asked, "Brother Wang, what do you think about this story?" ”
"I think it's a very simple story." Wang Xiaoshuai smiled, "In fact, love stories are very simple, but they are artificially complicated. Of course, when two people are dating, the psychological changes are complex and sensitive. This is the most mysterious and attractive part of love. Just like this story, it is nothing more than a story of understanding each other after an encounter, one party likes one party, and finally the other party also understands his own heart. Truth be told, the whole story is simple and old-fashioned. Isn't love just a game where two people chase each other, it's very old-fashioned and simple. ”
Zhao Danfeng opened his mouth and smiled, "Simple love is the most beautiful love." ”
"That's right, the heart-warming place is all about the details of life. Maybe you will be moved by the oath of the mountains and the sea, and maybe you will be moved by the luxury car villa. In the end, in the final analysis, two people get along with each other in the end to get by, and if the days can't go on, what's the use of these things. Wang Xiaoshuai looked very emotional, and Zhao Danfeng was also quite pleased, it was best to think so.
"Director Wang, I feel relieved that this play will be handed over to you." Zhao Danfeng said.
Wang Xiaoshuai smiled, "When I came, Cai Shangjun also discussed this issue with me, and said that Zhao Danfeng must like that kind of life-like and simple plot." Just follow the description of "Love Letter", that's right, hey, he really got it right. ”
Zhao Danfeng's face darkened, "Don't be like this, I just think that the audience will like that set of things, and the judges of the film festival will also like it." I don't have to be very deep and detached from the masses, I don't expect the Chinese to sell for a good price in other cities. ”
"Romance films, if they are too gloomy, will make people stop loving." Wang Xiaoshuai said such a sentence in a deep voice, which made Zhao Danfeng look sideways, he really won't love anymore.
The two just discussed for a while, and after the filming was completed, Hu Jing walked by with Tong Jiaqian's demeanor. made a blessing to Cai Shangjun, "Senior brother, are you helping Zhao Danfeng to look at the wind?" ”
Cai Shangjun shuddered, "Don't mind, I'm just helping to top the post, he's talking to Director Wang about the script." ”
"Then I'll have to hear it." Hu Jing was happy. (To be continued......)
