Chapter 150: A New Script
Bi Xia remembered that Xiao Chen Ke polished the car toys he gave him, treasured them carefully, and was reluctant to play them once. Because it was the first time he had received a gift, and it was his most beloved gift.
Bi Xia felt that his heart was hurting more and more, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was about, he would empathize, maybe everyone would have a conscience and compassion buried deep in their hearts. Xiao Chenke's experience made Bi Xia cherish everything now even more, if he didn't have a mother or father, he might be like Xiao Chenke.
As Bi Xia sang, everyone saw a child, he was lonely, he was lonely, he was wronged, he had no one to talk to......
"My dear child, why don't you let me see clearly, whether the wind blows out the candles, and walks alone in the night"
Bi Xia's voice became high-pitched, and his left hand was spread out in the air, as if he wanted to grasp something......
This "Dear Child" is an old song from the 90s in memory, mainly with piano accompaniment, and the chorus part of the song uses a drum kit to express strong conflict. This song has been covered by many people, and most of them can't get rid of Su Rui's original song.
Among them, there are also more famous singers who cover them, and there are also many talent singers who perform in the talent show, and there are some changes.
Bi Xia made a relatively large deal with this song. In addition to still using the piano, he still uses the cello as an accompaniment, and in the A section of the song, it seems relatively quiet, expressing an elder's love for the child through a slightly flat singing voice. However, many syllables and arpeggios are added to the interlude, and in the chorus, Bisha weakens the piano and cello sounds, strengthens the drum kit, and also sandwiches the melody played by this keyboard instrument, and the last word of each sentence in the chorus is lengthened and crescendo, with a scale-like progression, and then turned into falsetto. Perform a complete transition as if it were emotional catharsis.
Through his singing, Bi Xia slowly brings the audience into his own realm, so that the arrangement of the very different before and after does not seem abrupt and incoherent, which is the embodiment of the strength of a singer. After a series of drum kits, with the beat of the drums, Bi Xia sang an accompaniment melody in falsetto, although it was slightly high-pitched, but it well rendered the mood of the whole piece. He seems to be the navigator of emotions, and with two psychedelic vocals, he completely brings people into the world of his own emotions.
"Dear child, quickly dry your tears. I am willing to accompany you on the way home. ”
The audience listened carefully to Bi Xia's singing, and they vaguely saw the little boy in Bi Xia's mouth, especially when they heard the sentence "Walking Alone in the Dark", with Bi Xia [crazy] bending over, extremely depressed, like an extremely confused and overwhelmed state after being tortured, which made the audience gradually sob.
Huang Weinan watched Bi Xia's performance with interest at first, this was the first time she watched this popular singer sing. But listen, when he saw Bi Xia struggling fiercely, like a drowning man, desperately slapping the water. When she finally surfaced and grabbed a breath, she was gradually substituted into the song, and tears blurred her eyes.
This is a singer with delicate emotions in his heart, and this is a kind man. A person who is not full of feelings in his heart and who is not kind cannot write and sing such moving music just because he sees this little story. Huang Weinan thought in his heart.
[I am willing to accompany you. Walk on the way home ......].
The sound of Bi Xia's decline was extinguished, and the scene was immersed in Bi Xia's singing, and some people heard from this song the feeling of pity and love for an elder to the child; Some people also heard themselves from this song, and their life experiences made them all feel like the child in the song, which made them empathize.
"Bang bang bang!" The small interview scene broke out at this moment, just like the warm applause at the concert, everyone clapped their red hands, stalked their necks, and shouted. Even the photographer and director clapped their hands enthusiastically. Talented people are the most charming, and Bixia is undoubtedly that talented man.
The interview ended in harmony.
"Brother Wang, don't send me, I'll just go by myself." Bi Xia held Wang Suyi's hand and said. After the interview, Wang Suyi and Huang Weinan must have pulled Bi Xia to dinner, saying that they wanted to fulfill their obligations as a host, and Bi Xia felt at home in this strange city.
"Okay, then my brother won't send it, Zhilu said that you are busy, I didn't see you drink well today, next time I come over, my brother will have a good drink." If you pass by here in the future, remember to come and see my brother, and support my brother's work. Wang Suyi patted Bi Xia on the shoulder and said enthusiastically. A man's feelings are easily cultivated through the wine table, and the two become acquainted with each other in just one meal.
"Okay, no problem, if you have any orders in the future, just open your mouth and let me know." Bi Xia replied seriously, this is a promise, some words are not something that can be agreed casually, since it has been said, Wang Suyi will call him in the future and invite him to participate in some variety shows, Bi Xia will not shirk it. But Bixia didn't just say yes to everyone. He has watched the shows hosted by Wang Suyi, his hosting style is not entertainment for the sake of entertainment, it can be said that in the entire variety show hosting industry, he is one of the few hosts who can enter the eyes of Bixia.
At the same time, Wang Suyi is also very optimistic about Bi Xia, and there is a consensus on Apple that what Bi Xia has done since his debut, they fully believe in Bi Xia's potential, coupled with Bi Xia's righteousness, which is also recognized in the circle.
Huayi paid for Bi Xia's mother's treatment, Bi Xia not only sold herself for five years, but also made Huayi really make a lot of money at the beginning of this year, and the money for Bi Xia's mother's treatment was dozens of times the original cost.
They just hesitated a little, and they missed the first round of broadcast rights of this TV series, which made them depressed and wanted to vomit blood. During that period of time, they were pressed by Jiangnan Satellite TV and couldn't hold their heads up, and they could only bear the bitter fruit themselves.
Now that they have befriended Bi Xia, as long as Bi Xia occasionally goes to their show in the future, it will be of great help to them.
"And me, if you don't support my work, I'll smear you every day!" Huang Weinan stomped her feet, revealing a little woman's appearance, she had always wanted Bi Xia to call her sister, but Bi Xia refused to live or die, which made her depressed. Bi Xia is now a friend of women, how many women are "good friends" in their minds, and it is something that many people can't envy to take advantage of Bi Xia.
"Good, good." Bi Xia smiled bitterly helplessly. Promised.
"Hmph, show mercy everywhere!" Hu Yu took Bi Xia back, snorted coldly, and muttered.
"Hey!" Bi Xia was depressed, why did he show mercy? Who did he leave it to? However, this thing and the woman are not arguable, and Bi Xia can only smile bitterly.
……
"Stinky boy, what have you been doing lately, it's not a problem to stay in the company all day." Zhang Jing used pointed toe small leather shoes to top Bi Xia's calf, and a tingling sensation rose from the calf. Bi Xia raised his head from the table, and what caught his eye was Zhang Jing's huge chest that couldn't even be covered by clothes, he shivered, and his heart was depressed, how can this sister Jing become more and more plump recently, isn't it life.
"Sister Jing, I'm writing a script, it's almost." Bi Xia hurriedly lowered his head and stopped looking.
"What a piece of wood." A smile flashed in Zhang Jing's eyes. "I'll show you the script."
"Oh." Bi Xia honestly handed over the script. "Keep the Call? What does that mean? Zhang Jing read it softly, which immediately aroused the interest of Huang Xiaoyong and Hu Yu, they both knew that Bi Xia had been writing scripts recently, but what exactly were they writing. They didn't know what to do, and as soon as they heard Zhang Jing read it, the curiosity in their hearts naturally couldn't be hidden.
"Wood, what did you write in your script?" Hu Yu touched Bi Xia with his arm. Asked softly.
"What kind of wood, no big or small." Bi Xia knocked Hu Yu and said angrily.
"Aren't you wood? Sister Jing said that about you just now! Hu Yu grinned. Said confidently.
"Humph!" Bi Xia turned his head and ignored Hu Yu, he can't fight with this girl, and there will never be a day when you are right.
Bi Xia wrote the script that was the first film in memory to turn over an American movie, called "Keep Talking". The history of Chinese film and television has gone for more than 20 years, and many types of films have appeared on the market, perhaps the content is not the same as many films in memory, but there are indeed many films of the same genre. For example, the classic movie "The True Color of Heroes", which became popular in the 80s in memory, is a classic among the classics in terms of actors' acting skills and content. But although there are no identical films in Huaxia, there have been many films of the same type in Xiangjiang, and many of them have caused a sensation, and Bi Xia can't do it even if he wants to shoot.
And this "Keep Talking" has not yet appeared in the market with the same content, so it was selected by Bi Xia. As the first film in memory to remake an American movie, this "Keep Talking" earned enough gimmicks before it was released, but it was also a remake and a remake. It is precisely because of the remake that many people compare this film with the original, so under the psychology of "the moon is rounder abroad", they came to the conclusion that the quality of this film is not up to par.
Although this "Keep Talking" was slandered because of the remake and failed to reach its due height, in fact, the filming of this film is still quite standard. This film tells the story of the heroine who was "accidentally" kidnapped by bandits, and accidentally dialed a strange man's mobile phone for help in an extremely critical situation, which triggered a series of tracking and rescue stories. The reason why such a film was chosen for remake is believed to be due to the excellent script of the film itself.
In fact, whether it is the plot or the overall style, "Keep Talking" is strikingly similar or similar to the original, so it is not so much seeking innovation on the basis of the original work, but rather a kind of "take-it-or-leave-it": take its essence and remove its dross, and at the same time combine local and its own characteristics, through improvement and perfection, the final result is this wonderful film that is familiar but still can't help but be attracted by it.
It is precisely because there are no changes to the outline of the film that what the director at that time, Director Chen Musheng, could do was to work the details, so that he could finally achieve good results in word-of-mouth and box office. And this so-called "detail" is to make the plot as reasonable and life-like as possible when all conditions permit, and at the same time maximize the compactness, thrilling and entertainment of the film. So in fact, if there is no comparison of the original film, this film is actually very sophisticated.
First of all, it is natural that the corresponding adjustment of the story background such as time and place is natural, and the identities and personalities of the two key characters in the film have also changed accordingly.
In the original work, the heroine is a science teacher whose identity is only rushed by in words at the beginning, and then she is immediately hijacked by bandits who suddenly break into her home. In this film, the heroine Grace played by Da S is an excellent video game designer, she has good hands-on ability, and the beginning of the film has made relatively sufficient foreshadowing for this. So that the audience after seeing her imprisoned. In a short period of time, when you can quickly repair the smashed old-style phone and dial for help, you will be more convinced, and it will not feel too abrupt, and an ordinary woman suddenly suffers from this change, for a while, it is inevitable to show panic, sadness and fear, and the original character seems too calm and calm, in comparison, the new version of the treatment is more in line with human nature and common sense.
As for the male protagonist, the character in the original work appears cynical when he appears. is both very childish and selfish, it is the heroine's unexpected call that stimulates his kind nature, and he continues to feel and grow in the process of rescue; In this film, Ah Bang is not only an ordinary citizen who lives frustrated and makes a living by collecting debts, but his kindness has been slightly revealed by the debt-lending mother and son long before he received Grace's distress call. In addition, he is also a loving father who is full of guilt for his son. The characters are set and positioned in this way, which is closer to the lives of ordinary people. Therefore, when the audience sees Abang desperate for life and death in order to save people, and bloody streets, not only will they not feel embarrassed, but they are more likely to be resonated.
In addition, the heroes and heroines in the new version have also been appropriately adjusted in age. The marital status is also explained: one is widowed, the other is divorced, so that although the focus of this film is still to show the rescue process of life hanging by a thread. But in this special context, in the process of telephone interaction, the emotions between the heroes and heroines have unconsciously become a little subtle. And the hug when the two finally meet at the end of the film and the conversation that keeps in touch after meeting is particularly meaningful. This non-existent emotional sub-line adds a bit of romance to the film, and it also makes it more watchable.
It can be said that this film is actually based on the excellence of the American version of "A Glimmer of Life", and optimizes the details in it to make it more exciting. The film is actually a line higher than the original in terms of logic, plot, and action scenes. It's just that the Chinese experienced the hundred-year-long oppressed period at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the idea that "the moon is relatively round abroad" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so this film has not reached the height it should have.
These problems are not a problem at all in Huaxia, there is no film of the same type at home and abroad, so it is unique, and the "civilian hero" that the film wants to express is also a very new type on the screen, and I believe it will be able to reach a height that cannot be reached in memory.
The reason why Bixia chose this film is because he feels that he is weak in large-scale shooting. In fact, for large-scale shooting, such as flying cars, chase scenes and other shots, mainland directors are not very good at it, Xiangjiang director is an expert in this regard, Bi Xia has commented on the advantages and disadvantages of his director, after the filming of the TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", he has no obvious shortcomings in other aspects, not that Bi Xia's level is high, but relatively speaking, there are no obvious weaknesses.
Large-scale shooting is Bi Xia's only flaw, so he chose such a film as a stepping stone.
"Wood, your book is well written, wonderful!" Zhang Jing put down the script and looked at Bi Xia's eyes full of joy, is there anything more joyful than seeing the people she supports give her a huge surprise again and again? The script that Zhang Jing put down was hurriedly snatched by Hu Yu, and read it without saying a word.
"Sister Jing, do you think it's okay?" Bi Xia asked uncertainly, he was naturally full of confidence in this book, but he was also afraid that his thinking would be affected by memory, and now with Zhang Jing's support, his heart was even more anxious and firm. Zhang Jing is not a vase, she obtained a master's degree from the California University of Communication in the United States, the best communication university in the world.
Zhang Jing has a strong grasp of the market, and she is stronger than Zhang Chaoyang in this regard. "Okay,This book is definitely a rare masterpiece in recent years.,How do you want to operate this book.。 Zhang Jing asked.
"Uh...... This ......" Bi Xia was stunned, he really didn't think about how to operate, he was only twenty-four years old, and he had only been in the entertainment industry for a year, he had no connections in this area, and he had no experience in this area. "Sister, I still want to be the assistant director of this movie, but the director wants to invite some big directors in Xiangjiang to shoot it, and the directors in the mainland are worse in big scenes." After thinking about it, Bi Xia said.
"Well, you're right, and this film must be shot by a director from Xiangjiang, and many of the plots involved in your film, even if it is difficult to completely pass in the mainland, it is best to take the way of co-production between the two places." Zhang Jing is Zhang Jing in the end, and the key to this film is said at once.
"yes." Bi Xia patted his head, this film originally had a strong taste of Xiangjiang films, and it was a robbery, an Interpol, and a down-and-out policeman, I am afraid that it is difficult to pass the review in the mainland, although China's ideological openness is better than in memory, but there are some aspects that are still relatively strict.
