Chapter 19: Take a Step Back!

"Xiao Shao, you didn't understand what I meant." Zhang Yimou ignored those explanations at all, was very calm, and drank the teacup: "I actually want to say, book, I like it very much." ”

Shao Yingying was a little confused, he knew that Zhang Yimou liked this book, otherwise how could there be this meeting?

Can......

"Hey!"

Shao Yingying slapped his thigh, and he immediately figured out that the two of them were not watching the same channel!

No wonder Zhang Yimou has been talking to each other, no wonder this serious look has not been resolved, it turns out that he has not found the right prescription at all.

What does Zhang Yimou want? Quite simply, it's no hassle!

If you understand this, everything will work out.

Young, I'm still too young.

Shao Yingying nodded and smiled: "Director Zhang, in this way, the contract will not be signed with me, but with Huayi." ”

"Hehehe......"

Zhang Yimou smiled, and the whole half of his face was squeezed together, and wrinkles were squeezed out of the corners of his eyes.

Isn't this obvious? To what extent is there chaos in this circle, can Zhang Yimou not know? But in addition to being pointed at in his private life, his works are not ambiguous at all. Zhang Yimou had only one sentence to say: "If you want a book, don't bother." He used a lot of words to remind Shao Yingying, and after giving him an explanation, make up a solution!

In this circle, many things can't be said in person, Shao Yingying chose to let Xinxiang sign a contract with Huayi, which is equivalent to putting Zhang Yimou behind a bulletproof glass, and saying this sentence is equivalent to telling Zhang Yimou 'Even if there is a problem with the book, this is also Huayi's internal problem, and it has nothing to do with Zhang Yimou. Take 10,000 steps back, even if there is dirty water spilled out of this matter, isn't it still a book bought by the heart? You Zhang Yimou is a director, the director takes the book and makes movies, anyway, the book is the company, where does it come from? ’。

Zhang Yimou wanted this sentence, but Shao Yingying thought about things sideways when his status was completely unequal, to the extent of hugging his thighs.

So what can Zhang Yimou do? Listen!

If you kid can react in the end, even if it's a good deal, at most it will take some effort; If you can't react, even if this book is so good that it is heavenly, Zhang Yimou can't ask for it in order to avoid risks.

Otherwise, why is Lao Mouzi so uninterested in Shao Yingying's explanation?

He didn't come to listen to explanations, or to listen to explanations is a process that must be taken, and with this process, everyone can be silenced, but in fact, what he wants is a solution.

Shao Yingying has never crossed over, he wants Dan Fan to come back from the future, he can instantly understand Lao Mouzi's character, after a certain commercial is exposed, how clean is people hiding......

Taking advantage of Shao Yingying's reaction, Zhang Yimou was able to continue the conversation: "Xiao Shao, Huayi and Heart Picture are good ideas, and the participation of the two companies together is itself a help to the publicity." In addition......"

"The manuscript fee has to be paid later, and when all the box office comes out...... Don't worry, Xiao Shao, I will definitely give you a high price, one, at a high price that is impossible for you to reach with your current manuscript fee, 500,000! ”

What does Lao Moushen mean, Shao Yingying can be regarded as a teacher, Hua Yi signed a contract with the heart picture, and he took himself out; And after seeing the clues, he chose to pay the manuscript fee later, which means that if something goes wrong when the film is completed and attracts attention, the heart picture can also save a lot of manuscript money. At that time, there is no risk in the heart, but no matter how you calculate it, you won't lose it.

Shao Yingying never imagined that people could be so good in any way, others said that he was a human spirit in the crew, and compared with Lao Mouzi, he made a judgment.

"Director Zhang, you said so, so how about I take a step back?"

Shao Yingying twisted his face to the side after speaking, didn't look at him at all and said, "It's okay to pay the manuscript fee later." It's just that I have a small request. Shao Yingying looked at Zhang Yimou's calculating face, and said: "I want to follow the screenwriter of the group, and I have to enter the editing room in the later stage, I can do nothing and be a dumb person on the side, how about it?" ”

Only Shao Yingying knows that the script is not risky at all, and he dares to make this bet because there is a computer in this world that only he can read and others don't know exists.

The risk that Zhang Yimou tried his best to avoid was not a problem for Shao Yingying, but once Shao Yingying entered the editing room, a new door would open up in a field that had never been touched.

Shao Yingying lowered his head and raised his eyes upward, looking at the other party as if waiting for Zhang Yimou to make a decision.

"It's okay." Zhang Yimou instinctively gave an answer without hesitation after thinking about the whole sentence almost as a whole.

Why is film editing classified as an extremely important part of filmmaking?

It can show a director's style, especially in the mainland, where the director's shooting style and editing style are put together to complete the style display.

So, what's the gist of the clip? Is it how to connect each frame in the movie?

No!

That's the easiest part, almost everyone who knows the editing technique knows how to connect each frame, and the most important thing here is the idea.

A director's idea!!

Jiang Wen said that when editing a movie, reversing any two shots can show different ways of expression, and the whole story may not change, but the connection between the shots can make a big difference in the storytelling method.

Zhang Yimou didn't believe that Shao Yingying could steal the thoughts in his head, although he believed that letting Shao Yingying into the editing room would teach him some habits.

Ideas are the most important component of a director's expression in a film, and the key is that the inspiration cannot be replicated before the idea is generated.

Shao Yingying smiled, in the matter of selling scripts, he took three steps back in a row in exchange for the current step forward, the importance of this is indescribable.

"It's a pleasure to work with." Zhang Yimou stretched out his hand, and when Shao Yingying and Zhang Yimou's hands were shaken together, he had already stepped into Zhang Yimou's editing room with one foot.

……

Coming out of the luxurious private club, Shao Yingying leaned on the back of the car and didn't move, his mind was full of wood, and the plot transition on this day today was more tiring than the plot that couldn't be connected at all after filming in the crew for a day.

"How did it turn out?"

Zhang Wan drove the car to the garage of Shao Yingying's hotel apartment, stopped and asked.

Shao Yingying waved his hand.

"Didn't make it?" Zhang Wan had already guessed that it was the same as this ending and persuaded him: "It's okay, don't care too much, it's unlikely that we want to have some connection with Zhang Yimou with our current popularity, take your time, I believe that within three or five years, Lao Mouzi will have to come to you in person." ”

"500,000, sold."

Shao Yingying was extremely tired, and he didn't seem to have much strength to speak.

"What!"

Zhang Wan's eyes widened, he couldn't believe all this, the top domestic screenwriter wrote a TV series script at this price, right?

"By the way, tomorrow you go back to the company and tell Mr. Zhang that the request of the heart picture is that I hope Huayi will cooperate with the preliminary publicity and sign a script buyout contract with them in the name of the company."

Zhang Wan replied without thinking deeply at all: "It should be, if the news of Hua Yi's cooperation with Heart Picture spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar, and there is no better publicity than this...... That is, can the company agree? You sell the script, the company helps with the publicity, and in the end you take the money, and the company ......"

Shao Yingying knew too well what Zhang Wan was worried about: "Don't worry, I must agree, there is only one contracted director of the heart picture, Wang Zhongjun can take advantage of the incident to lay a good foundation with Zhang Yimou, once there is any wind and grass on the side of the heart picture......"

Zhang Wan understood, it was 'Zhang Yimou', and he would rather not sign an artist, and give all the resources to Zhang Yimou to enjoy alone, so you can see what this name represents. Who wouldn't want to have such a person? Now that Shao Yingying has created an opportunity for Hua Yi to have a bright contact with Zhang Yimou, how could Wang Zhongjun give up?
