Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Script Is Complete
Moonlight trickled silently into the room through the window.
Boom
Ye Ying squatted on the chair and worked hard to write.
He is writing the script for "This Soul Master Is Not Too Cold".
After several discussions and revisions, the script of "This Soul Master is Not Too Cold" was released, which was dictated by the Big Buddha and recorded by him.
In the slums of Soto City lives a soul master named Leon, who is a professional killer.
One day, Matilda, a neighbor's girl, knocked on his door and asked him to take a break from the murder.
It turned out that the owner of the neighbor's house was a subordinate of a bad soul master, and he was punished by the bad soul master Stanfield for embezzling a small bag of gold soul coins.
Matilda is rescued by Leon and begins to help Leon with household chores and teach him to read, while Leon teaches the girl to fight, and the two get along. And there is also a wonderful chemistry between them: love.
The girl follows Stanfield, rushes to take revenge, and is accidentally caught.
Leon arrives in time to bring the girl back.
They then moved again, but after several setbacks, the girl still fell into the hands of Stanfield.
In order to save the girl, Leon kills many enemies and allows her to escape through the ventilation ducts, and tells her to withdraw the money he has saved.
In the end, Leon disguised himself as an enemy and tried to sneak out of the encirclement, but was spotted by the cunning Stanfield, who had no choice but to blow himself up and die with Stanfield.
All the foreshadowing forms a huge tear at the final tragedy
After writing, Ye Ying's face was already full of tears.
"Big Buddha, can Leon not die?" Ye Ying raised his hand to wipe away tears.
He has been writing this script for three days, and today is the last day.
In these three days, he took the sounds and smiles of each character seriously on paper, but ushered in a tragic ending.
The Big Buddha was silent.
For a movie fan, there is nothing more painful than watching their favorite character die and be powerless.
"Tragedy is the only way to evoke a vision of beauty." The Big Buddha said slowly.
Ye Ying put down his pen, walked to his door and knocked lightly twice.
Hu Liena's voice came from outside the door: "Come out." ”
Ye Ying pushed open the door and walked out of the room silently.
Hu Liena looked at his lonely back in bewilderment.
The moment Ye Ying walked out of the door, she saw Ye Ying's red eyes.
Xiaoying cried,
Is it homesickness?
Hu Liena thought for a few breaths and then got out of the quilt and walked to the table.
She only wore a pajama top, but fortunately this top was big enough not to go away, only revealing two dazzling long legs.
She picked up a small green paper packet, opened it and poured it into a cup to brew with hot water.
The rich aroma spreads out in all directions.
This is a milk tea bag sent by Yeshu, which stores milk tea powder with a shelf life of three days, and after brewing it with hot water, it has the eight-point taste of milk tea made on site.
She didn't know how to comfort Ye Ying, but she could make him a cup of milk tea.
She walked into Ye Ying's room and put the milk tea on Ye Ying's table.
Just as she was about to leave, her eyes were suddenly attracted by a thick pile of manuscript paper on the side.
"What is this?" She picked them up with a mumble to herself.
The first line of large letters:
"This Soul Master Is Not Too Cold"
Hu Liena raised her eyebrows slightly, her gaze slowly moved downward, and her expression unconsciously became serious...
"Big Buddha, why can't the ending be a great consummation, let's change whether it's good or not, let Leon kill Stanfield unscathed, and then reunite with Matilda." Ye Ying sat under the tree and begged.
The Buddha said firmly: "Xiaoying, tragedy has the power to shake people's hearts, believe me, it will be a good movie like this." ”
"But I feel so uncomfortable." Ye Ying said unhappily.
The Big Buddha avoided talking: "Have you thought about the cast, who will play them?" ”
Excluding the group performances that serve as background boards, there are a total of 20 actors before and after in "This Soul Master is Not Too Cold", and it is a problem for Ye Ying, who is short of connections, to gather these 20 actors.
But the starring Leon, Matilda and the villain Stanfield must be settled first.
Ye Ying asked tentatively: "Grandpa Ju is here to play Leon, Senior Sister is playing Matilda, and Master Liu is playing Stanfield, how about it?" ”
The Big Buddha was silent.
"Can't you?" Ye Ying asked.
The big Buddha said meaningfully: "Why don't you try the mirror first?" ”
Ye Ying knew what auditions meant.
Let everyone play a paragraph before deciding on the role.
He had a bad feeling...
Ye Ying stood up and walked towards the house, it's too late now, and tomorrow will start to determine the matter of the actors.
Knock knock
No one answered
Ye Ying felt strange, and raised his hand and knocked a few more times
Knock knock
Knock knock
It wasn't until the third time that footsteps finally came from inside the door.
Squeak
Hu Liena opened the door, her eyes were red, and she had obviously just cried.
"Senior sister, what's wrong with you?" Ye Ying wondered.
Hu Liena asked uncomfortably, "Xiaoying, are those on your table real?" ”
Ye Ying's eyes lit up: "Senior sister, have you already read the script?" ”
"Script?" Hu Liena was stunned.
Ye Ying was about to mention to Hu Liena about "This Soul Master is Not Too Cold", but he didn't expect Hu Liena to take the initiative to bring it up.
"That's right, it's a movie script." Ye Ying said seriously, "Movies are similar to dramas, but they are more real than dramas. ”
There are no movies on the Douluo Continent, but there are theaters and old-fashioned dramas, and the nobles are very fond of those theater troupes.
"Movies?" Hu Liena was a little puzzled, "Isn't this what really happened?" ”
"No, I made up all the stories in it." Ye Ying shook his head and said, "I'm going to shoot it, are you interested in playing a role in it?" ”
"You want me to act?" Hu Liena asked curiously, "Which character?" ”
She has only watched one drama since she was a child, and that time the royal family of the Star Luo Empire invited Bibi Dong to Star Luo City as a guest and invited the best drama troupe of the Star Luo Empire, but she didn't like that scene.
The actors on stage are too contrived, and the stories they play don't seem real at all.
Ye Ying said expectantly, "Matilda." ”
"The little girl?" Hu Liena was surprised.
Ye Ying raised his head and said, "Yes, this may take up a little bit of your time, but I promise, I will not let you suffer, and you will have a share of the money you earn." ”
Hu Liena was a little moved, but it wasn't for money, as a disciple of the Pope, she never felt short of money.
But the role of Matilda made her heartfelt.
When she first finished reading the script of "This Soul Master is Not Too Cold", she burst into tears.
And she's thirteen years old, which is the age when she likes to try new things.
She is willing to play Matilda.
"I'm afraid the teacher won't agree." Hu Liena whispered, "But I like this character very much." ”
She doesn't like drama, but after reading the script, her intuition tells her that movies and plays are completely different things.
Maybe she'll love the movie.
