Chapter 417: The Prototype of Painted Skin (5)
The next time is the process of deletion and revision.
The intensity of deletion and modification is very large, and many sentences need to be condensed, and those that can be reduced to three sentences will never be expressed in five sentences.
And these three sentences should be condensed into the meaning of the five sentences, and they should be sublimated.
And the scenes, props, need to be considered one by one.
It took another week for them to be satisfied.
"Two whole months." Zeng Yu sighed when he saw the script that exuded the smell of fresh ink appear in his hand, "This is the first time I have conceived a script so carefully. ”
"It's hard and it's fun." Lin Xiao also sighed, "However, I am very satisfied!" ”
"The character, there is no such thin feeling. And I have a hunch that many words will become classic sentences in the future. ”
That night, Lin Xiao immediately rated the script.
He doesn't know how many times he has done this, and each time he has made corrections to the evaluation of the system.
"Assess, paint the skin." He thought silently in his heart.
"Brush!" A few minutes later, the system suddenly rippled with a golden light.
"Script: Painted Skin. System assessment: three and a half stars. ”
"Or three and a half stars?!" Loss rose in his heart. The difference between half a star is so difficult to achieve.
"Wait!" Just when he found it difficult to accept, his glasses suddenly lit up.
Because he saw that on the last half of the star, the frame of the other half of the star appeared! Glowing with gold!
Although it is not a complete star, it has already taken shape!
"Why! Why not four stars! ”
After a moment of silence, the voice of the system sounded, "The difference between one star is the separation of immortals." ”
"This star is quite difficult to achieve."
"After large-scale revisions, the characters are fuller, the plot is thicker, and a lot of thoughts and feelings have been brought in. But this is an accumulation, and it is still a little thin. And according to the current plot editing, the total length of the film will be more than 150 minutes, which is too long. ”
Lin Xiao thought for a while and asked, "If you depict the lines and details in depth, can you be promoted to four stars?" ”
"Yes, but it's also a painstaking process. It takes a screenwriter who is extremely proficient in lines as a counterpoint. ”
Lin Xiao nodded, he had already thought about this candidate.
Feng Xiaogang!
He can portray Uncle Li, and if he can set this style, he must have his own opinions on the painted skin!
The next morning, he met Zeng Yu.
"300,000 has been hit on your card." Lin Xiao sighed and said, "You really don't think about going to Dawn? ”
"Forget it...... Through this revision, I feel that I still have a lot of shortcomings. I need to recharge. Zeng Yu smiled, "However, I think I can really do it, and I will go to Beijing to find you." ”
"Okay, but this time, your name will definitely be on the screenwriter."
Zeng Yu was taken aback, "No, I'm an adaptation at most." Trunk, the story is all picked by you, you are the original. ”
"No, if it weren't for your joining, this script wouldn't have gotten to this point." Lin Xiao insisted: "In a few months, its name will be resounding all over the country." Believe me. ”
……
Lin Xiao soon returned to Beijing, barely rested, and immediately found Feng Xiaogang.
"Is it good to be in such a hurry to find me?" Feng Xiaogang was drinking tea in the box, and his eyes kept running over the information in Lin Xiao's hand.
can make the other party so solemn, he has already guessed that it is a script.
"Good thing, help me read the script." Lin Xiao had long been familiar with the other party's temper, and he handed over the script without saying a word.
"Tsk, I knew it would be okay for you kid to look for me." Feng Xiaogang made a look of disgust, but still took it.
A minute later, his eyes lit up and he let out a soft "huh".
Five minutes later, he put down his teacup and threw himself into the observation, his whole face becoming serious.
Ten minutes later, his breathing was a little heavy, and his eyes were completely like seeing a treasure.
For fifteen minutes, the whole room couldn't even hear the sound of breathing.
Half an hour.
Feng Xiaogang let out a long sigh, his little eyes rolling slightly.
Then, he did something that had no lower limit.
He took a handful of money out of his pocket, put it on the table, grabbed the script and left.
"Thank you for sending such a good script to my brother, I gave the tea money, hey...... Ay! Lin Xiao, I warn you, it is illegal to use force! I can sue you! ”
Lin Xiao pulled him back by the shoulders and said with a smile, "Brother, you are a little inauthentic." This is the culmination of three months of me. ”
Feng Xiaogang said with a smile, "Well, I watched it, it's okay, it's the first time to have this level, it's commendable." Let's do it, 100,000, we Huayi bought it, how about it? Is this a brother's price, someone else? Hey, I should be thankful for two thousand! ”
“…… I really thank you brother for the price......"
Lin Xiao smiled and asked solemnly, "Director Feng, I am a junior in the script, and I am also the director, so I have specially learned from you." ”
Feng Xiaogang looked at the ceiling: "The weather is good today. ”
…… Dare to love that the ceiling of your home is see-through?
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth angrily, "Brother Feng, you just say it, give a comment, how about it?" I'm coming to you with confidence, you can't do this to juniors. ”
Seeing that Lin Xiao was serious, Feng Xiaogang put down the script.
As soon as he put it down, he grabbed it again, touched it several times with love, and asked more seriously, "Xiaolinzi, give my brother a truth, can you shoot this script for me?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he smiled bitterly, "Yes, no, this is your trinity script......"
"But, my eyes are red!"
"Just stand in front of Baoshan! I can't shoot it myself! Xiaolinzi, what the hell are you doing tonight?! You're here to covet my brother, right? ”
"This kind of script...... This kind of script! Feng Xiaogang became excited, and the shot snapped, "Do you want to clearly tell my brother that there is a movie called Painted Skin that is going to win the championship of the year this year, what are you filming to go around the point, brother?!" ”
Lin Xiao was a little stunned, he didn't expect Feng Xiaogang's evaluation to be so high.
"You're honest." Feng Xiaogang also became serious: "Did you write this script?" ”
"Yes. There are also others involved. ”
"You want to shoot?"
"Yes."
"Investment, are the actors ready?"
"There is a fall."
"Damn!" As soon as Feng Xiao opened his mouth, he scolded: "Can you bring me some good news?!" ”
"Let me say so." He gritted his teeth and said, "This film, I dare to predict, it will be the second world without thieves!" At least from the script! ”
"How about we discuss it? I'll shoot the script, and you'll decide everything else. How is it? ”
"I'm afraid that you novice won't be able to shoot such a good script!" Feng Xiaogang sighed for a long time, "I don't dare to say that I can write such a script, but I didn't expect that you, a person who has just set foot in screenwriting, will write it." ”
"Brother Feng, I'll just say it. I can't make this film for anyone else. Although he has received a systematic evaluation, which is slightly higher than that of no thieves in the world, but now that he has Feng Xiaogang's comments, he is more confident" I want to ask Director Feng for advice, and let Director Feng point out the lines in the script again. ”
"Do you think I'm going to make enemies for this year's box office fight?" Feng Xiaogang flipped through the script and sneered: "It's still such a terrifying enemy." ”
Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I have become Director Feng, I owe you a favor." ”
"It's kind of human." Feng Xiaogang snorted twice, in fact, with their relationship, even if they are in the honeymoon period, he will definitely agree, but he just looks unhappy and wants to make things difficult.
One of the unpleasant ones, why can the other party write this kind of script? There are no thieves in the world, but he has been writing for more than half a year!
The second unpleasant thing is, why is this kind of script in front of him, but the guy on the other side tells him that he made it himself?
Tyrannical things.
"Tomorrow morning, let's come to Huayi. I only have three days. Feng Xiaogang reluctantly flipped through the script, handed it to Lin Xiao, and sighed, "You think about it again, I said that I would shoot it, and I was serious, and you can open it." ”
As the most promising person to be promoted to the level of a great director, he knows very well how much potential the script in Lin Xiao's hands has.
Lin Xiao replied with a smile, "Director Feng, I'm afraid I'm going to say sorry to you this time." ”
"Damn, go on, go, now it hurts to see your brain." Feng Xiao just started to drive people away.
Then, another week.
Feng Xiaogang does have his uniqueness, and under his dedicated or unsatisfactory modifications, Lin Xiao has grasped the general direction.
As soon as three days passed, Feng Xiaogang refused to revise it again. In the remaining four days, Lin Xiao began to make all his lines smooth.
His screenwriting level has invisibly improved a lot.
On the eighth day, the time has reached April 10th.
Looking at the stack of printed scripts in front of him, his heart was suddenly filled with a sense of accomplishment.
More than two months of crystallization......
He stroked the script paper as if he were caressing his lover's face.
It's a bit of a feeling of breaking through the shackles of acting, painful and happy.
Masochism...... He laughed at himself, and silently said in his heart, "Evaluation: The script paints the skin." ”
"Brush!" This time, the golden light lit up like a tide.
Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom.
"Script: Painted Skin. Rating: 4 stars! ”
"The whole story, in one go. The characters are plump, the dialogue is mellow, and the harmony between the groups is completely taken into account, and the story is very strong and addictive. ”
"Xiao Wei's innocence, indifference, infatuation, and triple heart change. Pei Rong's slightly cold, meticulous heart, infatuated, and equally focused. Wang Sheng attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and struggles between two women. Although it is far from the original script, it is better than the blue. Three characters, each with its own appeal. It's like three magnetic fields that will firmly engage the audience. ”
"If you can find the right artist to play these three protagonists, it will be a real business card. Although thinking has certain limitations. However, there should be a good market in Asia. ”
"Asia! 4 stars! The voice in his head was like a heavenly sound, and the feeling of happiness and bitterness instantly overwhelmed Lin Xiao.
My first four-star script is finally out!
Looking back on the crazy modifications in the past few months, he finally feels that it is worth the money at this moment!
"No, don't be complacent, it's just a four-star change from a three-star script. Not really a 4-star movie! I now know how hard it is to write a good screenplay. He closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and suddenly laughed, "Time Warner, I'm coming." Don't you want to see the results? I'll let your most 'Chinese' judges judge how you want to play this film! ”
