Chapter 18: Can He Believe Him?
The screenwriter is a very chaotic circle, belonging to the epitome of the entertainment industry, just like the entertainment industry has stand-ins, naked substitutes and other people who have to go down here without showing their faces, there are also gunmen in the screenwriter circle, and even some famous playwrights' gunman teams are already well known. But the real circle is so real, and the real one is outrageous. In this way, they also looked down on each other with the literati, like a group of people picking up rags and picking up people's teeth and scolding: "What kind of thing are you, can you not embarrass the people in the industry?" ”
Shao Yingying remembered the current situation of the entire circle when he heard Zhang Yimou's words, the current Lao Mouzi cherishes feathers, not to mention that the film "Hero" is a big investment and big production, in case it is filmed in the future, the entertainment industry is breaking out that Lao Mouzi has a 'script copyright' dispute because of the filming of heroes, then, no matter how much box office Zhang Yimou has in "Hero", there will be a stain on him, a stain that cannot be washed away.
This is a critical moment, and if you don't deal with it well, it is likely that you will not recover, but how to deal with it, Shao Yingying really doesn't have an idea at this moment.
Before coming, Shao Yingying thought that Lao Mouzi would ask himself all kinds of questions, such as plot arrangement, such as the direction of the script, such as the push and pull plot three times and twice, but the only thing he didn't expect was that Zhang Yimou actually asked himself about too many style changes, which made people suspicious. Writing is different from mathematics, mathematics is a formula, you can calculate it any way, there is no style problem at all, writing is not good......
Shao Yingying is not a literature major, let alone a reborn person with several lifetimes of experience, a person who is at a low point and is eager to become famous is easy to make mistakes that he doesn't care about, and feasible people can see at a glance.
"Teacher Zhang."
Zhang Yimou looked at Shao Yingying, the seriousness on his face still existed, and he never reached out to serve the teacup, he already had an idea in his heart. He wants "Hero", but he must be sure of the innocence of this book, not that the yellow flower girl can't enter his cave room: "You say." ”
"After Gu Long's "Anhui Flower Washing Sword Record", his style changed greatly, and reached the peak of "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword"; Jin Yong wanted to redefine the word 'chivalrous' all his life, but in the end, he wrote "The Legend of Deer and Ding"; Perhaps both of these people have seen traces of their own transformation in the novel, but this has already shown that a person's style can be transformed. ”
"And Ni Kuang is a very interesting writer, he can vividly imitate Gu Long, he can also imitate Jin Yong in a god, and he has been a gunman for both of them, may I ask Mr. Zhang, can you see the traces of science fiction writers in the part of Ah Zi's death in "Dragon Babu"?"
"Of course, I may not be able to compare with these three people who have already achieved fame, let alone compare, in fact, I only want to say that there is only one problem, you only see style, but you don't know my life at all."
Zhang Yimou picked up the teacup and put it in front of Shao Yingying, and asked, "Life?" ”
"Yes." Shao Yingying didn't touch the steaming tea, and said to himself: ""Conquest" is a work when I left the Beijing Film Academy, I was hit hard at that time, I felt that the whole world was unfair, and I was resentful, angry and happened to encounter the Jibei gun case, which led to this work. ”
"It was a bit of a hot blood at that time...... Makes sense. Zhang Yimou didn't comment much, just spoke smoothly.
Shao Yingying continued: "'Blade 1937' was a work after the filming of 'Conquest', at that time I had just rejected a hype and dreamed of becoming famous with my own efforts, so in the whole script, Xiu Wen's writing became the theme, and I tried to use any beautiful word as much as possible in pursuit of perfection, and tried to connect the whole sentence. In fact, if someone takes a closer look at the script of "Blade 1937", they can immediately see that the place where the big --- tide should collide has chosen to pass by, and the turning point that should get out of a more beautiful trajectory has become bland, all of which are dragged down by the show's writing and lines. ”
"This..."
Zhang Yimou groaned, he had watched "Blade 1937", before Zheng Shusen killed the gangsters in Xiaguang, Lao Mouzi himself was ready to meet the huge **, and the result was ...... Zheng Shusen still retains his humanity after killing someone, although he looks warm, but his enthusiasm for preparing for a cold-blooded fight is extinguished at once. If it is said that a person who is eager to become famous and pours all his emotions into his lines and writing, it is barely okay.
Shao Yingying didn't care what Zhang Yimou thought, and the words changed: "I also have parents, in order to become famous, I haven't been home for a long time, I have figured out a lot of things in these days, it turns out that my father and mother quarrel maybe not because of bad people or drinking, it may be because life is too stressful; I remember my father who liked to smoke Chinese cigarettes in the yard, and he rarely played with me when I was a child, and he smoked every day when he came back from the field, and I didn't understand it at the time, but now, I understand. It's not that he doesn't like me, he just wants to have a moment of cleanliness after the heavy farm work, but in the face of my son, a crying child, he still has to show a smiling face and not scare me. ”
"People, often busy with livelihood and love when they grow up, some people would rather fantasize about how they made a fortune than think about what their parents' expressions were for, do not raise children and do not know the kindness of their parents, children only experience everything about being parents will know how hard their parents are, how unfilial? In fact, everyone who understands people can figure out what many details of their parents' lives are for, but they give all this thinking time to other things or other people. ”
"Mr. Zhang, I didn't say how noble I was, "Ten Years of Marriage" just wanted to write about what kind of person my parents in the countryside were when I didn't understand. This book has no writing, it has changed the times, and I can only use everything I am most familiar with to confirm that now I understand, understand their expressions on their faces at that time, and their love for home. ”
Shao Yingying took a big breath, this was a way for him to release the heavy pressure after finally finding a reliable explanation.
This action is in Zhang Yimou's eyes, but it has become a reminiscence of the past and a little helpless.
Shao Yingying suddenly laughed, and when Zhang Yimou didn't answer: "There is also "Hero", "Hero" is an ordinary person's counterattack myth, I hope that I am nameless, I can move out of the monarchy with my sharp teeth and mouth to order them to be used by me, and then, stand alone in the palace of King Qin." Just like now, I hope that I can convince you, and convince every director I work with in the future, to make myself more and more famous, and finally stand on the stage of the world's most shining awards ceremony and let everyone see me. When I write a book, I float while I write, there is no sense of reality to rely on, the circle is always the self in my head, which has nothing to do with the role, how can there be a style at all? It's just a person's delusion, that's all. ”
Shao Yingying picked up the teacup, and the tea that had been cooled was drunk by him, drinking like wine, and peeking at Zhang Yimou at the moment of drinking. There was only one thought in his head, and that was, "Can he believe it?" ”
