Chapter 416: The Prototype of Painted Skin (4)
The same thing Xu Jinglei said to him.
But from the mouth of the author of Wukong, a famous book that was once rated as "Subverting Journey to the West", it is more profound and empathetic.
As if blessed to the soul, Lin Xiao instantly understood what he meant.
Although he changed to three and a half stars, he never received a word of praise from the system for progress. I think that's because of that.
And with subversion, with more violent conflicts, the character image can be fuller and more shocking.
"For example, Banshee Yui. Why is it set that she has to eat people's hearts to recover her mana? It's set that she doesn't know anything, but she just thinks people's hearts are delicious, can't it? I've been hearing the word mana for hundreds of years, and I'm tired of hearing it. What it is, who can tell. But too many movies and television have used it, and this excuse is really old-fashioned. β
Old? Lin Xiao felt that he was being said to be old-fashioned by a 03-year-old young man, and he was indeed very old-fashioned.
But this is the script of '08, okay? Zeng Yu?!
He secretly vomited in his heart, but he very much agreed with his opinion, "Well, what is needed is the imagination of your wild antelope horns, go on." β
Zeng Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly blushed and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I forgot that this is a script written by you...... Well, I'm not saying clichΓ©, it's just ...... It's not that stylish......"
"You're going to talk about it old-fashioned." Lin Xiao cried and laughed and said, "It's okay, your opinion is very good, I need an equally subversive painting skin." You're right, it's the same old thing, everyone is tired of watching it. That's why your Legend of Wukong can succeed. β
"And I need a whole new skin."
"Try not to change the main stem, but you can change the settings and lines."
"Well, I think it's okay for the main stem, too." Zeng Yu said with great interest, "The key is Xiao Wei's setting, her appearance can't resonate with people." Similarly, the general's wife is a little too good a wife and mother, although she is brilliant in the end, but ...... I don't feel good-looking. β
Not bad......
Ah, the world is so wonderful, and yet I'm so grumpy, it's not good...... Not good.
Lin Xiao took a breath and continued to ask, "So, how do you think it resonates with the audience?" β
"It's easy! A social phenomenon! Zeng Yu snapped his fingers, not caring at all that it was a national red star sitting in front of him, "My Wukong biography, aimed at and insinuated some injustices in society, and injustices people resisted." β
"Who hasn't encountered injustice? It's easy to resonate with everyone! I think that the main line of the drama between Xiao Wei and Mrs. is not wrong, but the flesh and blood of the two are weak, and the current plot is really a bit of a painted skin, only skin, but no soul. β
That's right! Hearing this, Lin Xiao knew that this trip was the right one.
"Do you have the confidence to plump them up? We can discuss it together. β
"I can try, and this toad essence, there is no need to appear at all. I feel that it is to support the existence of a conscience in Xiao Wei's heart, but I feel that with it, Xiao Wei's heart change process has been weakened. This role is completely a snake and a mink...... Oh, sorry, Mr. Lin, I forgot that this is your script. β
β¦β¦ Ah, the world is so fucking grandma's wonderful, but I'm so fucking grumpy......
Lin Xiao took a deep breath for the second time, but looked at Zeng Yu with a smile.
"Mr. Lin, I'm really embarrassed, I forgot about what I was happy about." Zeng Yu thought of the tasks given to him by his colleagues, and his face turned red.
If you can't finish it, it's over when you go back. That group of tigers won't let go of themselves.
"It's okay." Lin Xiao smiled and poured a cup of coffee with his own hands, "Mr. Zeng, how much is your salary now?" β
Zeng Yu was a little inexplicable, "About three thousand, ......"
Lin Xiao nodded, "300,000, this script is written to my satisfaction, is it okay?" Within two months, I will give you a leave of absence from the company. In addition, if you are willing to work at our Dawn Company, the monthly salary will definitely be more than ten times that of your game company. β
He really moved the heart of digging up talents with a lot of money.
Even if he writes the script and adapts it with this kind of talent, it will definitely be a big help!
Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one will be hard to find.
"......" Zeng Yu was stunned.
He knows that the artist is rich, but this kind of amount, he doesn't work for more than ten years, dare to think?
It was to help Wong Kar-wai write the script, and his name, the other party gave tens of thousands of things. Lin Xiao made a move several times?
Do you want to dig yourself to break the dawn?
"You don't have to make a decision too quickly, but I would very much like you to say yes." Lin Xiao said sincerely.
"The script is fine." Zeng Yu immediately said that 300,000 yuan is a lot of money for him, "but resign......
"It's okay, I'll wait for your script, and besides, I'll help you open another room in Kempin during this time, right next to my room, and we can discuss it every day. Of course, I pay for the cost. β
"Mr. Lin, wouldn't this be too ......?"
"It's nothing, you're going to meet good people. I know Liu Bei's mentality of looking at the thatched house. Lin Xiao sighed as if he had opened his heart, "Then start tomorrow?" β
"No problem." Zeng Yu agreed, turned his head and said with a red face, "Mr. Lin, I have a reluctant request...... What, the female colleagues in our company are all fans of yours......"
"OK, give it to me." Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiao knew what was going on.
β¦β¦
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival holiday.
Lin Xiao gave Zeng Yu a plane ticket, and the other party wanted to go back to his hometown in Nanchang. And he, with nowhere to go.
Qin Xin originally wanted to go to Nanjing with Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao refused.
If he didn't let the Qin family bring it up in person, he wouldn't be cheeky himself.
At night, he looked at the night sky where the stars hung upside down, and his heart was full of confidence.
In the past, he felt that it was simply a difficult thing to let the Qin family invite him to go. And now, he actually felt that it was not so difficult.
"Dididi," his phone rang.
"Haozi, why did you remember the phone?" He asked with a smile.
"It's okay, don't I want to ask you about the New Year?" Li Hao said with a smile, "I forgot to tell you, my film results last year were not bad, and the company paid dividends." β
"Oh, what film?"
"Blue Gate."
βοΌβ Lin Xiao was completely speechless.
Not only did he rob other people's plays, but now even the plays of "Asia's best quality idol" Chen Bolin have also been robbed in the future. Fortunately, Golden Horse actress Gui Lunmei also made her debut.
"That's a ...... A small butterfly has come back across ten years...... Changed everything......" He sighed and asked solemnly, "Haozi, as the boss of Dawn, I officially send you an invitation." β
"Huh? Brother Xiao, you finally remembered me! The other party was obviously very excited, "When?" β
"It's the end of the year." Lin Xiao calculated the time, don't think about it before May, the upcoming SARS will radiate across the country, everyone is at risk, the world is concerned, and the WHO is resident is not the time to be on the movie at all. And then Junichiro Koizumi's visit to the Yasukuni Shrine and the people's anti-Japanese enthusiasm was high, which was not a good time.
"At the end of the year...... Brother Xiao, I signed a five-year contract,......" Li Hao said embarrassedly, "It's not that I won't come, but ...... I can't afford to pay a penalty......"
"It's okay, maybe that's enough." Lin Xiao smiled, "It's also a bit back, none of these films have a suitable role for you." β
"Your company is hiring?"
"Well, I'm planning to dig up two diva-level characters."
After chatting for a while, he hung up.
It's been three years. He looked at the starry sky, and this starry era was finally branded with his name.
β¦β¦
In 03, it officially arrived.
For Chinese, New Year's Day has passed, and most people are still accustomed to treating it as 02. But as soon as the Spring Festival passes, it will be a formal 03 year.
Zeng Yu returned to the hotel after the Lantern Festival, and during this time, Lin Xiao's assistant had already asked for leave from their company. And related to the company's popularity, the boss agreed quite happily.
For most of the following month, the two were almost nested in the same room. And with the addition of this kind of geek, the script of the painted skin is being perfected rapidly.
"Xiao Yui's feeling at the beginning is innocence! Eating hearts is just to live! And after recovering his memory, that kind of domineering needs suitable lines and small events to support, this plot of killing live dogs at will cannot be deleted! β
"Mr. Zeng, this plot has added a lot. But have you ever considered the Radio, Film and Television Bureau? Have you ever considered an actress who plays Yui? Can they do it? This role, in the end, has undergone three heart changes, and she is definitely a first-class actress in China. Coupled with these scenes, I'm afraid that the first-class actresses will retreat when they see it, right? β
ββ¦β¦ So let's talk about it again? β
This kind of sound, if it weren't for the good sound insulation of a five-star hotel, I'm afraid it would have spread all over this hotel.
Xiao Wei and Pei Rong, the images of these two characters have undergone several changes, and even Lin Xiao had a whim again, bringing in the character of the queen in the palace fighting drama, but found that it was surprisingly interesting, and finally the two negotiated and actually added some plots.
And Wang Sheng's scenes, but not much cut, both of them feel that in this play, Wang Sheng's existence is indispensable, three-legged, his role should not be too much, but it is very important, whether it can be highlighted depends not on the role, but on acting skills.
In terms of lines, significant changes have also been made, and some powerful and domineering words have also appeared in the script.
The lines are also the embodiment of the overall style of the character, if Uncle Li opens his mouth and closes his mouth, he will say "you fuck", "your grandma" and other words to greet the family, needless to say, everyone feels that the role positioning is inconsistent.
What they are doing now is to work their lines, so that a character's words and deeds are in line with his positioning, and the character is more brilliant.
Time passed day by day, three weeks, a month......
One month and five days...... 10 days...... A month and a half ......
The two were almost nested in the hotel.
The number of times the script has been cut is too many to count, sometimes a page is full -- the kind of writing that is so full that it can't write anything else. After that, I have to rewrite a copy.
"Almost." Twenty-four days a month, both of them breathed a long sigh of relief at the stack of manuscripts in front of them.
There is a feeling of emaciation.
After more than 50 days of high-intensity and high-spirited work and rest, this script finally made them feel that with their current accumulation, they really couldn't modify it.
