Chapter 72 Star Yan Shi Zhang Baotong

Director Huang came to her house at night and saw a book without a cover in front of her, her eyes were at a loss, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?" She threw the book in front of Director Huang and said, "That editor Shang wants me to revise 'Where Is the Road' into a biographical novel full of emotion, color and suspense." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 🤔 Isn't this embarrassing for me? ”

Director Huang picked up the book and flipped through it, saying, "Why is this difficult? No, give this book to Director Zhang of the Literature Department and ask him to change it. When Xiuxiu heard this, her eyes lit up, and she immediately smiled, "This is a good way, but you have to beg him." Director Huang said, "No problem, but the book has been changed, how can you thank people?" Xiuxiu said, "Whatever, let him say the conditions." ”

Director Huang spent the night in Xiuxiu's house and called Director Zhang early the next morning. After making the call, Director Huang said to Xiuxiu, "Director Zhang said that he has read your serialization in Business Times, and said that he is very interested in your story and wants to adapt your story into a movie script." When Xiuxiu heard this, she said with relief, "That's great, it's really good." ”

However, after nearly half a month, when Director Huang brought the adapted movie script to Xiuxiu, the title of "The History of Celebrities" alone scared Xiuxiu. This is the name of a serious biography of the eight hundred, which is almost the same as the name of those tertiary films.

When Xiuxiu took the script home after getting off work and took a closer look, she felt that it was ridiculous to cry and laugh. This is a serious and pure autobiographical novel, which is simply a colorful **** history of amorous women. Originally, she wanted to use this book to tell the story of a rural female teacher's arduous struggle in the ups and downs of life, so as to inspire and inspire those young rural girls to be angry and strive to change their lives. At present, the literary script of this film that has been revised by director Zhang is more about promoting an emotional experience.

Perhaps because of the needs of the film's plot and suspense, the script has undergone major changes in content and style, not only the content and plot in it have become unrecognizable, but even the names and descriptions of the characters' feelings have completely changed their tone, and even some bold and direct emotional descriptions have appeared, making the whole script full of emotional entanglements and love suspense, making her feel Yan Khan when she looks at it: Is this still her Xu Wenxiu's autobiographical novel?

She immediately called Director Huang and said in a reproachful tone, "Director Huang, I read this script, it still seems like my life experience?" It's simply an explicit **** history. This movie was made for the audience to watch, and they thought I was really that kind of incorruptible and shameless woman. No, no, no, this script is too adapted and too marginal. ”

But Director Huang explained, "Although the storyline in the script is the same as your experience, the names of the characters and the rural background are different from your original, and besides, a girl from the countryside can become a movie star itself means a lot of extraordinary." In fact, this is just a film script, not a biography. ”

Director Huang explained to her for a long time, and then said, "Xiuxiu, you don't have to worry. This script mainly describes the struggle of a rural girl from a female teacher in a mountain village to a movie star, and the emotional entanglement in it is only a means for the heroine to use it. Because as a movie, it needs some emotional pictures and emotional suspense to cater to the audience's psychology and taste. I have read the whole script two or three times, and the adaptation is good, and if it is made into a movie, the effect will definitely surpass "Heavenly Adventure". ”

"Heavenly Adventure" is Xiuxiu's famous work, and it is also the best box office film this year, if "Star History" can surpass "Heavenly Adventure", this will undoubtedly be another milestone in her Xu Wenxiu's film and television career, and it will definitely lay a solid foundation for her to become popular in the film and television industry. She also knows that if Director Huang wants to put "The History of Celebrities" on the screen, she can't stop it, and she also hopes that her work can be put on the screen. It's just that she is worried that after watching the movie, others will think that the protagonist in it will be her own, because many people have seen her biographical novel "Where is the Road", which was serialized in the supplement of the "Business Times" for three months.

So, she said to Director Huang, "If you want to make a movie, I have no objection, but I have to change some of the plot and background in it, so that people don't think of me as the prototype of the protagonist in it at first glance." Director Huang asked, "How do you think it should be changed?" ”

Xiuxiu said, "For example, you can change the female teacher inside to a working girl, and change the movie star to a company owner." However, without waiting for Xiuxiu to finish speaking, Director Huang said, "A working girl struggles to become a company boss, this story is too prosaic, no, I think it's better to shoot according to the script directed by Zhang." However, you can rest assured, I will definitely use serious and artistic techniques to deal with the emotional problems in the play, and try to make people feel the hardships and distress of the heroine in the process of growth and struggle, and never let people feel that the heroine is relying on eroticism to drill camp, if that happens, it can only show that the film I directed is shallow and vulgar. ”

Xiuxiu felt that Director Huang's words were quite reasonable, so she didn't have to say more. Director Huang saw that Xiuxiu was made sense by him, and said, "I've thought about it, you are the only candidate for this heroine." And, I think this film will definitely win the award. ”

The script of "The History of Celebrities" was further revised by Director Zhang and Director Huang, and finally finalized. After a lot of preliminary preparations, the filming began in full swing. As the heroine in the film, Xiuxiu naturally filmed during the day, and had to memorize lines at night, so she was very busy. Therefore, the revisions and additions to the book "Where is the Road" have not been taken into account. Under the urging of Editor Shang several times, Xiuxiu called Editor Shang and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm making a new film, and I'm so busy all day that I can't even go home, how can I have time to revise the manuscript?" I really don't have time, what do you think about this? ”

Editor Shang thought about it for a while, and said, "Or, in this case, if you don't have time to revise, you can bring the book over, and I will make a comprehensive revision, addition or deletion of the book." Xiuxiu was worried that Editor Shang would change the content of the book beyond recognition like Director Zhang, so she said, "Editor Shang, this book can only be revised by you, but there is one thing I want to remind you that the content of the book cannot be drastically changed, nor can it be added or deleted at will, and you must seriously grasp the facts and style of the book to avoid complication and vulgarization." ”

Editor Shang said, "I understand what you mean, you can rest assured, when I finish revising, I will definitely let you look at it first." When Xiuxiu heard this, she said, "Okay, then you can use it and revise it." But the editor immediately said, "However, I have one condition. Xiuxiu was stunned and asked, "What conditions?" Editor Shang said, "That is, I want to get 30 percent of the manuscript fee." ”

When Xiuxiu heard what editor Shang said, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, thinking that what I worked so hard to write, if you revise it, you will take 30% of the remuneration, and her heart is too dark. She really wanted to say unceremoniously, "I don't have this book with you, I'm going to publish it somewhere else." She knows that celebrity biographies like this are popular and sought-after wherever she gets them, and she doesn't need to change a word. But she also wanted the National Film Hundred Flowers Award to be announced next month, and she also needed the "Business Times" to publish a book for her to promote her to increase her popularity and prepare for her award, so she still held back. She felt that although Editor Shang was greedy for money, he had also helped her a lot, and the copyright of "Where is the Road" itself belonged to the Business Times, so she felt that the book should still be revised by Editor Shang. So, she held back the anger in her stomach, but said to Editor Shang in a very polite tone, "Okay, that's it." Editor Shang was afraid that Xiuxiu would regret it, so he said, "Otherwise, I'll go to your place to sign the contract." Xiuxiu said, "Okay, you come to the studio of Feitian Film and Television Production Company in the afternoon, and I will wait for you here." ”
