Chapter 36: The Mad Lady
With Sun Peng's carefully created script and authorization letter, Lin Lin left happily.
Of course, she had reason to be excited, although the script her cousin gave her was only a short twenty pages, it contained a full twenty scenes - the longest of each scene was only two minutes, and the shortest was only a few tens of seconds, and they were all the kind that could make Lin Lin laugh!
How could Lin Lin not like such a script?
As a dancer aspiring to be a star...... Uh, it's a bit too much to say that dancers...... As far as dancers are concerned, Lin Lin has also worked hard, so she naturally knows the value of Sun Peng's script. In today's era, online video is the hottest time, and many people have even jumped into the TV or film industry to complete the feat of turning over the salted fish. From this script, Lin Lin also saw a little hope for herself.
Really good things, she can naturally see.
Therefore, forgetting to ask Sun Peng how he could write such a script, and forgetting to ask him about the novel, Lin Lin immediately left in a hurry. After the launch of the four-person version of Seve, for various reasons, the long-legged Rulin version has been difficult to give birth, so Lin Lin, who can only rely on the usual training videos to maintain her popularity, has gradually become outdated, after all, no matter how beautiful you are, it is impossible to rely on a dance video to keep it popular. But with this crazy lady's script, Lin Lin's road to Internet celebrity has the possibility to continue.
That's right, the two ended up naming the script Mad Lady.
The shrewd Lin Lin soon discovered that the short drama series written by this cousin was tailor-made for herself!
Of course, Lin Lin will not admit it if she kills Lin Lin with the heroine's personality, but look at the content of the script, the scene is either a bus, a stairwell, or an elevator, in just a few tens of seconds and a minute, the characters are generally only two or three, at most four or five, if you think about it carefully, the cost is terrible!
The lower the cost, the easier it is to shoot!
And looking at the lines in the heroine, most of them only have a few sentences, which is just right for a pseudo-actor like Lin Lin who has not been systematically trained - about this, she generously admits it.
What is low-cost, low-difficulty, not tailor-made?
After sending Lin Lin away, Sun Peng also let out a long sigh, he finally didn't have to deal with this somewhat annoying cousin anymore. But looking back, he began to worry about whether that girl could make this series of short films well: Lin Lin's own acting skills don't need to be discussed for the time being, but Sun Peng knows one thing, even if it is a simple scene selected, not just any layman can shoot it well!
If you want to go viral online, the only option is to get the help of real professionals!
"Forget it, that's not something I can worry about."
Thinking that he was also salty and eating radishes, Sun Peng quickly put this matter aside. Anyway, Lin Lin said with confidence that she knows a lot of industry insiders, so it shouldn't be too difficult to get together a vote, as for the cost of shooting...... My uncle should still have some family background, right? I just don't know if he is willing to let his stupid girl mess up......
……
Leaving her grandfather's old house, Lin Lin's state of excitement lasted for a while.
But the longer it takes to come out, the clearer this girl's brain becomes, and the head under the excitement just now slowly calms down, and finally has time to seriously think about how to deal with this script.
Shoot it yourself?
That's absolutely impossible!
Just like her cousin warned her several times, if you really think that the scene is very simple, you can shoot it with a camera and a few actors, then it will really ruin the script!
In the past two years, Lin Lin has not been in the group performance circle.
She knows that even if it's just a shot of getting on the bus and swiping a card, or a shot of three people in an elevator, if it is not taken well, it will be the same as most selfie videos on the Internet, all kinds of inappropriate, such as the lights are dark, for example, the long legs are thick and short, and for example, Yin Tang is dark, and the cheeks are red, etc......
Maybe with the excellence of the script, it can be popular to shoot at will, but for Lin Lin, who has a lot of ambitions, that's not what she wants!
If you want to shoot well, you have to be rich!
A qualified, at least passable director is a must, and then there are also recordings, costumes, makeup, props, editing, etc., according to the market that Lin Lin knows, if she really wants to shoot the kind of effect she wants, these twenty or thirty minutes of film are all more than 100,000 yuan, and this is still when you ask acquaintances for help.
And Lin Lin knows that the problem of actors is bigger than money.
Don't look at the simple plot of the scene, it's not difficult, but Lin Lin, who has been an actor, knows that not everyone can play it well, especially comedy, and the effect of finding those unreliable ones is absolutely miserable!
Regarding actors, Sun Peng has also repeatedly emphasized.
The elder generation Sun Peng has also watched a lot of domestic dramas, and the most impressive point is that the extras are unprofessional, and their expressions are all kinds of blunt, which is much worse than relatively high-cost movies......
"Speaking of which, it's still money!"
It wasn't until she returned home that Lin Lin let out a long sigh. Some time ago, in order to make that dancing video, she not only hired someone to redo the dance music, but also rented a video camera and wiped out all her little coffers, where is the money to shoot a short film now?
A penny is hard to beat the hero sister, how can you be worried?
"Yo? What's going on? ”
Seeing her baby daughter's sad face, Sun Yanling, who was also spending the weekend at home, casually glanced at her and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to Peng Peng in the morning?" What, fighting with him again? Tsk, how can I say that you kid, you're such an adult, and you still call your brother every day......"
"Oh Mom, you know what! Where did I fight him? ”
Pouting, Lin Lin said angrily.
Unimpressed by her daughter's reaction, Sun Yanling continued to nag: "By the way, didn't I tell you? asked you to call Peng Peng back for dinner, why did you come back alone? That child lives alone every day, miserable...... You don't know how to care about it, it's true! ”
"He's bitter?"
Hearing this, Lin Lin finally couldn't help but roll her eyes, she didn't think that the current Sun Peng would have a hard life - tens of thousands of yuan a month!
"Huh?"
After nagging for a while, Sun Yanling finally realized that something was wrong. If you want to put aside what you usually say, why does the girl have to say a few words, why is she so quiet today?
After thinking for a moment that something was wrong, Sun Yanling frowned and asked, "Linlin, what's wrong?" ”
"Well, I'm worried!"
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Lin also felt that there was no need to hide it from her parents, so she simply told her what happened in the morning. Lin Lin's parents are very open-minded, and they have never objected to her pursuit of becoming a star, but will often support her, so there is no need to hide this matter.
Sure enough, my mother was also blindsided after hearing it!
"Script? Peng Peng wrote you a script? ”
With a pair of eyes as big as Lin Lin's, Sun Yanling's mouth couldn't close in shock!
She is Sun Peng's aunt, she has watched that kid grow up since she was a child, and it is not an exaggeration to say that her nephew has a few hairs on her legs, and Sun Yanling knows it clearly in her heart - that kid can write scripts? And it's a script that makes your daughter's soul unrelenting?
This girl isn't lying to me, is she?
Looking at her mother's suspicious eyes, Lin Lin suddenly became angry: "You don't believe it? Now, the script is here, if you don't believe it, just see it with your own eyes! ”
"Well, what Peng Peng wrote is to take a look!"
The curiosity could no longer be suppressed, and Sun Yanling immediately opened the script and read it.
And then......
"That's it?"
After a long time, Sun Yanling raised her head blankly: "Linlin, this is the script your brother wrote for you?" Okay, can't it work? You're not kidding me, are you? This ......"
"Oh Mom, I said you don't understand!"
Hurriedly snatched the script from her mother's hand, Lin Lin had to put it back into the bag like a baby, and then said helplessly to her mother with a deep generation gap: "This is specially written for young people, don't expect to be able to understand those jokes at your age......"
