Chapter 538: Great White Shark

"I'd like to ask two directors to be the film's director." Lin Xiao said sincerely, "Although this is a little difficult, this film can generally be shot in Nanjing." The two old gentlemen are too old to walk around, and we plan to finish filming the war scenes in Nanjing. ”

"In addition, I would like to ask the two of you to refer to the script together."

"What do you say?" Ma Chenggong smiled: "I think this story is already very good. ”

"Different." Lin Xiao shook his head, "This story is actually divided into two paragraphs, the first one is a war, and the latter one is a lawsuit, the division is too obvious, it will cause discomfort to the audience, I want to ask the two of you to revise the plot." ”

"Two old-timers, you should have a lot of stories on you, I want you to list your stories, and then I will try to integrate them into the story, and finally show them to the two of you, see if you feel in place."

"Yes." Zhao Lei sighed faintly, "I really can't imagine that you, a young man who is so young and has never participated in a battle, can actually analyze the war from this angle...... This film, I think, can poke at the most vulnerable place in many people's hearts......"

"We need a week to write." Ma Chenggong said: "This is equivalent to a memoir...... There are things...... It's been in the dust for too long......"

"In addition, have you ever thought about the head of a hundred families." Ma Chenggong is worthy of being an old cadre, and after thinking about it, he said, "China's lost veterans are not only Lao Zhao's brothers. ”

"They are scattered all over China, and some have even been presumed dead...... Their experience is a gem......"

Lin Xiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he thought of a brilliant idea!

At the beginning of the video website, he did several episodes of the program "Searching for Chinese Grassroots Directors", which made many little-known people stand out, or even just film and television lovers, and became a backbone of the video website in the future.

In the future, many online short dramas and grassroots directors with a high number of clicks are selected from this step-by-step selection.

So, why didn't he come to a "Searching for the Old Soldiers Around You" feature?

It's definitely a good idea to go with the rallying call.

And now the rest of the old revolutionaries, which one is not in the position of stomping his feet when he says a word? Even the old man of Qin Xin may not be able to compare to their position, and even trace it back to several major departments of the Chinese People's Liberation Army!

Do they have any old comrades who have been separated? Are there any veterans who are considered dead but are still living in a low-key manner?

If there is, and it happens to be the life and death brother of a certain big man back then, it is simply an unexpected joy! This is a great help for him to establish a genre film director!

Although this hope is more slim.

In the future, if anyone says that he is not, I am afraid that the people above will not agree!

His mind was getting wider and wider, and his mood was already excited.

In this way, there is an oversized fish, but it is really going to be involved with himself.

And with the bite of that "great white shark", Dawn, Dawn, and him will truly become an unbreakable company in China! An artist who will never be angry!

Because if this step is successful, he will really go from a top artist to the ranks of "national attention", just like a super-big artist in the future, who will receive foreign envoys in response to "national tasks".

With that kind of status, even if the entertainment industry can't hand in a qualified answer sheet, the government will not give up!

The unique video website, the great earthquake brought by it, has just begun. He gritted his teeth and chuckled.

"Okay, I'll come back in a week." He said, holding back his excitement.

After going back, the first thing he did was to immediately call Qin Zhong.

"Looking for the old soldiers around you?" Qin Zhong's voice was very puzzled, "Lin Xiao, video websites are mainly entertainment, will this column be too serious?" ”

"Not serious." Lin Xiao laughed and carefully analyzed Qin Zhong, Qin Zhong was immediately stunned.

"Holy!" The voice on the other side of the mobile phone was extremely excited, "You, you are directly stabbing at the General Political Department, the General Assembly, and their hearts!" ”

"No, I'm going to fish, it's not them!" Lin Xiao was also excited in his heart, "No matter how they are, it is difficult to interfere in the lives of artists, and they can't ensure my status." I'm going to catch another big fish! ”

"Who else?" Qin Zhong was puzzled.

Lin Xiao said a name, and after saying something carefully, Qin Zhong suddenly realized.

"Cow!" He said from the bottom of his heart: "Three birds with one stone!" You can keep yourself safe for more than 10 years with this step! ”

"They are the only ones who can make me really as hard as diamonds." Lin Xiao smiled, "In this way, my father-in-law and I have a good relationship." ”

Qin Zhong laughed, "At that time, I'm afraid my old man will have to weigh it, if this step is successful, not only will Shuguang be impossible to be broken down in the country, Dawn, but also you, it will be the treasure of the government." ”

"National treasure artist." Lin Xiao suppressed his excitement and said, "What a wonderful name." ”

"Okay, as soon as you start shooting, I'll do it right away! This matter, even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I have to do it big! Make it happen! My brother still has some private money there, so I'll turn around and go and scrape it out for him! ”

……

Lin Xiao stayed in Nanjing, and this week, he happened to accompany Qin Xin to walk around.

The assembly number, coupled with the cruising great white shark, the aftermath of this big shock in the entertainment industry will sweep across China, making people completely realize how far an artist can go by relying on video websites and perfect ideas!

Jiming Temple, Qixia Mountain, Yuhuatai...... Visiting the scenic spots everywhere, the only fly in the ointment is that when Master Lotus presided over the ceremony, he was recognized by people because there were too many people, which caused many tourists to take photos on the spot, and even Master Lotus took a photo with Lin Xiao in person, and specially opened a string of Buddhist beads for him afterwards.

After that, he was more careful, the mask and sunglasses did not leave his body, and the shortcomings of the artist were revealed at this moment, so he didn't want to go shopping at all.

A week later, when he came to the sanatorium again, Ma Chenggong and Zhao Lei handed over a few pages of manuscript paper with mixed feelings.

"These are the things that impress us the most." When Zhao Lei said this, he looked extremely emotional, "I'm old...... When writing about these things...... It's hard to write......"

"These are our most cherished memories...... I hope...... You can shoot it well. Ma Chenggong also said.

"I'll do my best!" Lin Xiao replied solemnly.

Next, he did not leave Nanjing, but immediately began a retreat, desperately revising the script.

It's easier said than done to create a high-star script, and when Nolan wrote Inception, it took four full years to conceive and a year to write. By the time I got to eighty pages, I had to scratch my ears and cheeks, but the changes were much easier.

The biggest problem with the assembly number is the disconnection between the two plots, and in this paragraph, Lin Xiao has decided to make drastic changes. There are war scenes, but he chose the way of reminiscing, that is, slowly integrating them in the future lawsuit, although it is very difficult, but it can make the whole story pull into a line.

Seeing the manuscripts of the two veterans, he originally felt that the main plot was too short, and the lawsuit alone could not constitute a compact movie at all, and it needed to be made up for by war, but now he felt that two hours was too short, and a large number of precious experiences could not be used at all, so he could only strive for perfection and pick out the most touching ones.

The countless inspirations in his mind flew out like wings, and two different war experiences burst out in front of his eyes at this moment, and he suddenly had the idea of perfecting the script.

It seemed to be a matter of course, icing on the cake on a three-and-a-half-star script, removing the dross and leaving its essence, and two weeks later, a golden light shone in his mind, and he instantly reached a four-star script.

"The rallying call, although the previous paragraph is to explain the background of the story and the lives of several revolutionary comrades. However, this paragraph is too long, the assembly number is not a war movie, the essence is in the second half, and Feng Xiaogang's original technique is not good. "But now, you have adopted the method of flashbacks, and the flashbacks are shot in the same way as old film images, giving people a strong documentary feeling, interspersed with conversations and memories with different people in different periods, and the connection is almost perfect." Several selected scenes, each of which can be described as shocking, it can be said that every dead warrior is a monument. ”

This film can be said to be a tribute to the predecessor of Saving Private Ryan, similar techniques, different ideas, highlighting the same theme: a war film with the purpose of anti-war is a good war film. This movie will definitely leave a heavy mark in the history of Chinese film. The realistic war style, which only needs to be matched with excellent artists, will definitely be an evocative war film in the Asia-Pacific region. ”

The system gives such a comment, which is very high, and he has figured out the habits of the system, for Samsung's, you can pick out dozens of shortcomings, these films are just commercial films for it, there are some box offices, whether it is high or not, it depends on whether you can get a good schedule, such as Thailand, he asked, it is only a Samsung script, but it has a sky-high result of a billion box office.

And four-star, basically a classic film that will make a lot of money on any schedule, such a film, every screenwriter has to conceive for several years, but he has the dual assistance of rebirth and system, just modifying, and asking questions in a targeted manner, but it only takes a few months.

When he showed the story to the two old soldiers, they were killing chess.

"Senior, this is my revised draft based on your deeds."

One copy for each of them, and after taking the manuscript, they immediately read it.

It didn't take long for the expressions of the two to change, from seriousness, to emotion, to a soft sigh in the back.
