Chapter 398: Two Scripts (Fifth Update)
In the evening, when Guo Xiaoyu was writing a script in the living room, Zhang Xinyi came over and asked, "Xiaoyu, what are you doing?" β
"Write the script." Guo Xiaoyu said without looking back: "I'm going to try to make a movie by myself, this is the script." β
"What is it, can I take a look?"
"Of course." Guo Xiaoyu got up to pour a glass of water, and gave up his position to Zhang Xinyi by the way.
Zhang Xinyi watched it for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "This actor's mouth is really damaged!" Is this the role that Xiao Yu is going to play? β
"Yes!" Guo Xiaoyu walked over with a glass of water and said: "This role is very moldable, and it is absolutely attractive when played well!" β
"Yes, indeed." Zhang Xinyi nodded and asked rhetorically, "Have you thought about the heroine's feet?" The heroine of this drama can be said to have colluded before and after, if the male protagonist is not a special character with a poisonous tongue, it will not be brilliant at all, so the heroine is very important. β
Hearing Zhang Xinyi say this, Guo Xiaoyu became interested, so she continued to ask: "Then do you have any requirements for the choice of the heroine?" β
"Well, if you want me to see it......" Zhang Xinyi thought for a while and replied: "First of all, it's a matter of age, it's not good to be too big or too small, and it's best between twenty-three and twenty-five, because a woman of this age is the easiest to play the heroine's calm jump." The second is the problem of acting, this role is still quite challenging, and a vase without acting skills is naturally not good, and then the girl's body shape must not be too plump if you partner with you, I'm not talking about fat. It's that some girls are a little baby fat, and they look like flesh, and they don't look good when they stand with you. β
Listening to Zhang Xinyi's words, the smile on the corner of Guo Xiaoyu's mouth became stronger and stronger, although they were all basic questions, but a girl in the literature department could see so much, this is already powerful enough! Guo Xiaoyu is now more and more interested in her, so he asked: "Is there a backup of the script you wrote yourself on the Internet?" If so, show me now, okay? β
"It seems to be, I'll look for it."
After a while, Zhang Xinyi took a computer and put it in front of Guo Xiaoyu. said, "This is it. Take a look and see if there's anything that needs to be changed. β
"Well, I'll take a look, and I'll call you when I'm done." After speaking, Guo Xiaoyu looked at it. He wanted to see if Zhang Xinyi's skills at hand were as powerful as those in her mouth.
The script written by Zhang Xinyi is called "Our Graduation Season". It is about the reluctance of high school students to face friendship and confusion about the future when they graduate. A very simple, but very warm play, the whole play takes the route of youth, friendship, ignorant love, separation, sorrow, and expectations for the future.
saw Guo Xiaoyu return to the computer. Zhang Xinyi asked expectantly, "How do you feel?" β
"Sounds good." Guo Xiaoyu's voice changed and said, "But I think there are a few things that have some problems. β
"Well, what's the problem?"
"First of all, the first one is the problem of the audience, your whole drama is set in Taipei school, which is the same as "The Girl We Chased in Those Years", or even worse than it, because all your stories take place in the school, if you use Taipei school as the background, mainland students don't know much about it, and they lack a sense of substitution. Since the mainland is the big player in the domestic market, you can change your background to a mainland high school, and if you don't know about it, you can go to China to have a look, or even go to school with them for a while. β
Hearing Guo Xiaoyu's opinion, Zhang Xinyi nodded and said, "Is there any problem then?" β
"Everything else is a small problem, and there is a big problem, which is that the audience area is too small."
"What do you mean?"
Guo Xiaoyu took a sip of water and said slowly: "Your whole drama takes place on campus, not so much a youth campus film, but a graduation documentary, so that only those who are about to graduate can find the feeling, like people who have worked out of school for a few years will not watch this movie at all, because there is no sense of substitution at all!" β
"What then?"
"It's easy!" Guo Xiaoyu said: "We use memories to unfold, and at the end of the film, the main characters in it will look like when they grow up, as for whether they are good or bad when they grow up, it's up to you to write it yourself, so that he is not only a youth campus film, but also a memory film, and adults will recall their own era when they see it." After a pause, Guo Xiaoyu continued: "Actually, your problem boils down to a little ......."
"You're thinking in the wrong direction."
"Huh?" Zhang Xinyi obviously didn't understand what Guo Xiaoyu was talking about, raised her head, and looked at Guo Xiaoyu suspiciously.
"Your mind is still stuck on writing a good script."
"Isn't that right?"
"I can't say it's wrong." Guo Xiaoyu explained: "But before that, you have to figure out what a good script is, in my opinion, there are three kinds of good scripts, one is award-winning, one is the box office, and the last one is both." But all three of them have one characteristic, and the scripts they write are all aimed at the audience. A drama like yours is obviously not launched to win any awards, but to get a higher box office, so you naturally have to expand the audience. And your thinking still stops at the level of me writing a good script, if you simply write a script is so problematic, but you want others to shoot the script you wrote, this kind of thinking must be corrected! β
Guo Xiaoyu's words directly shocked Zhang Xinyi in place, it turned out that she had always thought that she was very powerful, she had read a lot of scripts, and she felt that some of them were not as good as they were written. Zhang Xinyi is quite confident in this masterpiece that she has worked so hard for, but she found so many problems when she came to Guo Xiaoyu!
The golden holy hand really didn't blow it out, Zhang Xinyi bowed deeply to Guo Xiaoyu and expressed her gratitude!
"Alright, girl." Guo Xiaoyu said: "You are really a good book, you have already built the big framework, the rest is to add bricks and tiles, take it back and change it well, and send it to me when it is finished, I am ready to make it into a movie." β
"Making a movie? Are you serious? Zong Han, who had not spoken, jumped out.
"Of course!" Guo Xiaoyu said with a smile: "As long as Xinyi's book is passed, we can start shooting immediately." β
βYESοΌβ Zong Han hugged Zhang Xinyi all of a sudden, and shouted, "Xinyi, do you hear it, the script you wrote is going to be made into a movie." β
"Mmmmmm......" Zhang Xinyi was also very excited, she really didn't expect that her book could really be made into a movie!
The excited two didn't notice that they were hugging tightly at the moment, and they were so harmonious, anyway, in Guo Xiaoyu's opinion, the two of them should have been like this! (To be continued......)
