Chapter 1059: The Age of Ancient Costumes
The screenwriter who went to the studio for an interview next was named Dai Heng. It should be an unknown person.
Gao Xu looked out from inside the glass wall, and when he saw that Dai Heng, he immediately guessed that this person was probably not married. Dai Heng was wearing a new formal suit, a white shirt with a small collar, and a pair of casual leather shoes that did not match him. The most unpleasant thing is Dai Heng's long hair, but it is different from Zheng Yijian's image, Gao Xu felt that Dai Heng was not suitable for that kind of hairstyle at a glance. Some hairstyles are pretty good-looking, but they pick the face.
But these are not problems, people are coming, Gao Xu has to understand a little.
Gao Xu pressed the phone on the desktop: "Xiaoyu, ask him to come to the office to meet." ”
"Okay." Xiao Yu said into the phone outside, and the voice came from the desktop inside.
Dai Heng came in from the door with a bag on his back, and Gao Xu also got up and walked to the middle of the office, reaching out to shake hands with him. Gao Xu looked directly at his face, held his hand firmly, stayed for a while, and said, "My surname is Liu." ”
"Dai Heng." He was slightly stunned.
Gao Xu pointed to the leather chair next to him and said, "Let's sit down and talk." ”
Dai Heng said politely: "Mr. Liu sits." Then he took a resume out of his bag.
Gao Xu naturally didn't read it, and said: "I've probably read your electronic resume, have you written costume scripts before?" ”
"In the few films released a few years ago, I was just a member of the screenwriting team, doing technical work." Dai Heng said, and suddenly took out another stack of printed paper from his bag, "But I have an independently created script, but it has not been adopted." ”
Gao Xu flipped through it, looked at the font size and paper thickness, and estimated that there were more than 100,000 words. He said, "I asked Xiao Yu to make you a cup of tea, and there are some idle books and magazines on the bookshelf over there." Wait for me for half an hour. ”
When Dai Heng heard this, his face was a little surprised, "Okay, Mr. Liu take a look slowly, I don't have anything else to do today." ”
Gao Xu took the stack of papers, sat back down at his desk, and immediately began to flip through it. Because of the experience of making scripts with Xiao Deng, Gao Xu also knows a lot of knowledge. And he's read all kinds of books, so he can appreciate most of the textual things.
The script in my hand is actually quite well written. But Gao Xu read it carefully for a long time and also saw the problem, "The subject matter is a bit unpopular, the key elements of suspense are not universal enough, and the audience seems to be unable to capture people's interest at first." ”
Dai Heng walked over and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Liu is right, I have seen a director before, and I probably said the same." However, if you make an original script alone, you can't write a theme that you are not interested in, and what is well written may not meet the taste of the market. ”
"Makes sense." Gao Xu nodded and said, "Subjective creation is like this. ”
This Dai Heng, the level should be much higher than Xiao Deng, and his ability is not limited to adaptation and format. Maybe Xiao Deng also has creative talent, but she hasn't shown it for the time being, and she has worked for Gao Xu before she graduated.
Gao Xu thought for a while, "Our studio usually has a ready-made theme, as well as the general content of the story, and the work you need to do is often to supplement the details and plot. ”
"No problem, I've been doing similar work in the team before.
"Dai Heng Dao.
When Gao Xu heard this, he immediately felt that there was no need to weigh the subsections, "In addition to perfecting the script, your job is also responsible for working with the director." As long as it is a drama that has been filmed and released, you have participated in it, 10,000 yuan per episode, and if the results are good after the release, there will be another reward. There may be constant revisions to the script in the middle of the process, and there will be a gap in work, so you will be given a fixed salary of 5,000 a month. No matter how many times you change it, you can make a living anyway. ”
Dai Heng took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said eagerly: "No problem! Thank you Mr. Liu for your appreciation. ”
After the negotiation, Dai Heng seemed to be a little emotional, "The housing prices and living standards here in Taicang are too high, I originally planned to go back to my hometown to find something to do, so as to settle down and start a business." Now there is hope again. ”
"Let's get things done together, and there's going to be everything." Gao Xu smiled.
At this time, Xiaoyu made Dai Heng's tea and brought it in, but the conversation in the office was almost over. Dai Heng looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome. Now boil water, slow down. Xiao Yu's smile was generous and decent. She used to be a lover for the head of a certain company for several years, and she should have seen some of the world.
Gao Xu on the side looked at it in his eyes and felt that Dai Heng's eyes seemed to have a good impression of Xiao Yu. This is normal.
Although Xiaoyu is in his thirties, his image is indeed good. She is wearing casual clothes today, the hem of her top is covered by a long skirt, and the whole person looks simple, elegant and clean, very affinity.
After recruiting a costume screenwriter, Gao Xu rearranged the space of the studio. In addition to the hall, there are three smaller offices, one for Gao Xu and Wang Cheng, and one each for Xiao Deng and Dai Heng. When it was necessary to avoid disturbances, Gao Xu could go to Xiao Deng or Dai Heng's room to discuss the content.
For the animation script of "Animal City", Gao Xu's work is almost completed, and the rest is mainly written by Xiao Deng, who is only responsible for supplementing and describing some of his own insights.
At this time, Gao Xu began to prepare for the costume drama. After weighing it, he didn't plan to make the theme of the Wude period right away.
From the perspective of the series, what he wants to do is only a historical background, and the story needs to be completely original and demanding. Gao Xu had no experience at all, and had to participate in the creation so that he could add those secret elements; It is possible that the grades are particularly poor. If there are not many people who see and have no influence, how can they cause "people who may exist" to discover?
If it fails, it will be very strange to reshoot similar subjects over and over again in the future.
So Gao Xu decided to do other costume dramas first, test the water, accumulate experience, and leave more room for maneuver.
At this time, Xiao Deng was writing an animation script, and the "crackling" keyboard sound in the room was intermittent, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and it never stopped. Gao Xu listened to it for a long time, but he was used to it, and he felt that even if he slept in such noise, he could sleep.
Gao Xu walked to the exterior window and looked at the city from the tall building. Patches of buildings and forests and intricate transportation lines form the living and production scenes of tens of millions of people, extending all the way to the horizon, and the large-scale cities are invisible. And that's just what Taicang looks like as a city.
He suddenly realized that it was a miracle that he could meet Miaojin, because the probability was too small, even if Miaojin often went to the places where Gao Xu walked and met, it was still very difficult. After more than a year, Gao Xu was no longer in random people
In the group, meet other people.
The people in that cave had been with Gao Xu for decades and knew each other very well. As long as you stand in front of him, even if your appearance is different, you will definitely be able to feel it. It's been so long, he must have met it because he hadn't met.
Now, it seems that it is no longer possible to rely on luck alone. Filming episodes and taking the initiative to provide clues in a wide range may really be an effective method.
Gao Xu left the window, and at this time he also had the goal of testing the waters in his heart. He thought of the new Dragon Gate Inn, but since there was no "Dragon Gate Inn" at this time, it didn't matter if it was old or new.
This costume movie can be adapted into a series, and it can be long or short. The plot itself is very complete, several forces gather in an inn, contradictions and conflicts erupt, and the relationships and elements of the characters are also very rich.
Gao Xu pondered that he could mix some "things" in it, such as the name of the Qingyuan monk who made the incense, and the recipe of the incense, these details have disappeared in the years, and there is no record of the official history and wild history, so he can slowly mix it in.
However, the background may be best placed in the Tang Dynasty, because the dictatorship of the eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty is in line with reality. There is no Wei Zhongxian in this world, and after the industrial revolution in the Wude period, the eunuch forces behind are not very good, and it is nonsense to be able to "mutilate Zhongliang", and it is not round. Those "loyal and good" are all big landlords with big capital, and it would be good if they didn't kill the eunuchs, who would dare to harm them except for infighting?
Gao Xu left Xiao Deng's office and went to find Dai Heng, who had nothing to do in the past few days, and told him the plot of the Dragon Gate Inn. If he really can't make a good-looking script, he thinks about one more thing, Gao Xu still remembers the general content of many costume TV series.
After talking about the plot synopsis for a long time, Dai Heng said: "I can try to write a paragraph first, and then see if Mr. Liu is satisfied." ”
Gao Xu nodded: "Very good." He thought for a moment and then mentioned, "When you used to work, did you have any directors you particularly admired?" ”
Dai Heng thought for a while, "There are several different directors in the screenwriting team I have participated in, and each director has a different style and focus, so I can't say which is better or worse. However, I have met a male actor before, and although he is not famous, I think he performs very well. ”
"Who?" Gao Xu asked curiously.
Dai Heng immediately opened the computer screensaver, searched for a while, found a paid episode, and then clicked on an episode. Gao Xu moved his chair forward and looked at the screen with Dai Heng.
"The male protagonist and the female protagonist were childhood sweethearts when they were young, but they were separated, and this episode is a reunion after adulthood." Dai Heng probably said something.
Gao Xu replied with an "um".
In the picture, an ancient street and pedestrians appeared, and a horse-drawn carriage drove by, and a beautiful woman opened the window to look at the scenery. A man followed, he was happy, and the beautiful woman found him but didn't react, probably didn't recognize it.
The man's appearance is obviously not handsome among the actors, but the person who eats that bowl of rice has an okay figure and appearance.
In just a few seconds of the picture, the man's expression changes rapidly from surprise, loss, embarrassment, and self-deprecation, and there is not a single line or exaggerated performance in the whole process. The emotions mainly rely on the eyes and the slight changes in the face, which is very delicate and very infectious.
Gao Xu saw this and blurted out, "It's a little interesting." ”
