Chapter 250: Preparation for the new film
Gu Cancan felt a headache, this little měi nǚ Qu Guanlan who suddenly appeared was eccentric, or Qu Hongyu's cousin, she didn't know how Qu Guanlan found this place, and her itinerary should not have been revealed to the public.
Looking at Gu Cancan's ignorant look, Qu Guanlan smiled: "Sister Xiao Jie, I haven't seen a movie yet, or you can take me to see it, if it doesn't hinder it." ”
"That's no problem, but," Gu Cancan looked at Qu Guanlan with pain and said, "Don't call me Sister Xiao Jie, just call me by my name." ”
"Then what's the matter," Qu Guanlan said with a serious face, "I'm also your fan." But if you talk about it from Brother Yu, I'll call you Sister Cancan. ”
“…… You still call Xiao Jie, sister. Gu Cancan felt three black lines hanging down from his head.
"No, I think it's appropriate for Sister Cancan, right, Sister Cancan." Qu Guanlan smiled like a little fox.
The woman who came with her couldn't help but pat her head and glanced at Gu Cancan sympathetically.
Gu Cancan sighed, and said to Qu Guanlan seriously: "You may have misunderstood, your brother and I really have nothing to do." I ...... with him."
"I understand, I understand!" Qu Guanlan quickly nodded as if the chicken pecked rice and said, "My brother is a stupid person, okay, don't talk about him, let's go, Sister Cancan, take me to see how the movie is made." ”
"......" Gu Cancan was affectionately hugged by Qu Guanlan and pulled away.
With the mentality of "lying in the groove", Gu Cancan led Qu Guanlan and Fan Yao around the filming location.
Fan Yao is the woman who is with Qu Guanlan, although Qu Guanlan introduced her as her sister, but Gu Cancan can easily see that Fan Yao is actually Qu Guanlan's bodyguard.
On the set, Qu Guanlan looked around like a curious baby, incarnated as 100,000 whys, and asked all kinds of questions.
Fortunately, she is young, cute and beautiful, and she was brought over by Gu Cancan, and everywhere she goes, she is cute, and people are willing to answer her various strange questions.
Seeing that he was filming a group scene, Qu Guanlan also wanted to make a cameo appearance as an extra.
Anyway, it didn't affect the shooting, Gu Cancan acquiesced and did not object, and Yang Qi was also happy to arrange the role of the two beautiful girls, anyway, it was to act as a background.
So Qu Guanlan dragged Fan Yao into the extras, and sat there as a background board in a decent manner.
After experiencing the feeling of an extra, staying on the set until noon, Qu Guanlan finally felt happy and warmly invited Gu Cancan to eat hot pot.
Gu Cancan then remembered what Qu Guanlan said when the two first met.
"You said you wanted to eat hot pot, so you came to Chongqing?"
Qu Guanlan nodded seriously: "Yes, the Chongqing hot pot in the capital is always a little worse in taste, if you want to come and eat authentic, take advantage of the Saturday, I came over, anyway, the plane is very fast." ”
"......" Gu Cancan didn't know how many times he was speechless at Qu Guanlan's words, do your parents know that you show off like this?
Gu Cancan said: "I don't know where the hot pot is the most authentic, Chongqing hot pot is too spicy, and I eat it less often." It seems that there is a very famous one over there in the Liberation Monument, and there is also one in Chaotianmen, by the way, there is also Dezhuang hot pot, which one you want to eat, I will take you there. ”
Qu Guanlan shook his head and said: "The ingredients in those places are not necessarily good, my mother has a club here, and the hot pot in it is very authentic, Sister Cancan, let's go there to eat." ”
Gu Cancan wants to burst into tears, must he be happy if he is rich? No, you can't imagine the happiness of rich people.
The clubhouse is located in a quiet courtyard near the Liberation Monument, with winding paths and secluded paths, which looks like an ordinary five-story building on the outside, but has a lot on the inside.
Looking at the low-key but luxurious decoration in the clubhouse, Gu Cancan really felt the gap between the rich and the poor. Gu Cancan doesn't often go to such a place, but listening to Qu Guanlan's words, it seems that her mother's industry is everywhere.
"The key to Chongqing hot pot is spicy fresh." Qu Guanlan said with great interest, his hands kept moving, and put the hairy belly, fish balls, duck intestines and other ingredients into the pot.
Each of the three of them has a small pot in front of them, and the ingredients are also in triplicate, and they are delicately arranged.
Gu Cancan looked at the boiling pot ingredients, the red soup was tumbling in the pot, and the ingredients were also tumbling out with the boiling bottom of the pot, diffusing a strong aroma that made people appetite.
At first, the soup at the bottom of the pot did not have such a strong aroma, and the aroma gradually became stronger as the water boiled.
"Sister Cancan, didn't Brother Yu mention me to you?" Qu Guanlan and Gu Cancan gossiped about homely things.
"No, in fact, you misunderstood, your brother and I are not what you think, maybe he had an electric idea for me some time ago. But it should be gone now. We're just ordinary friends. Gu Cancan decided to make his words clear to Qu Guanlan.
Qu Guanlan looked at Gu Can thoughtfully: "Sure enough, did you reject Brother Yu?" ”
"Whew, so to speak." Gu Cancan said.
Qu Guanlan's expression was complicated, she hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Sister Cancan, you should know the situation of Brother Yu's family, right?" ”
"You know, the Mango Group is theirs."
Qu Guanlan looked at Gu Cancan steadily, and finally began to officially value Gu Cancan in his heart.
The young owner of the Mango Group showed her love, but she was able to refuse, and this resolute courage is not something that ordinary girls can do.
You know, even if it's public information
It is expected that the market value of Mango Group is already hundreds of billions, and Qu Qing is Qu Hongyu's son.
Gu Cancan's heart is really amazing.
……
That night, Gu Cancan and Qu Hongyu made a phone call.
Qu Hongyu was also shocked when he heard that Qu Guanlan actually went to find Gu Cancan, and when he heard Gu Cancan tell the whole story, he was speechless.
"Among my cousins, Guanlan and I are about the same age, and we have the best relationship." Qu Hongyu said to Gu Cancan, and couldn't help but show a warm smile on his face, "She actually likes you very much and is also your fan." Well, if she bothered you today, Cancan, I apologize for her. ”
Gu Cancan said: "It's not a bother, I like her personality a lot." She seems to have misunderstood something, and I think you'd better explain it to her. ”
"Actually, it's not a misunderstanding." Qu Hongyu sighed.
“……”
"Okay, okay, I'll stop talking." Qu Hongyu admitted in seconds, quickly changed the topic, talked about other things, and diverted Gu Cancan's attention.
When the two ended the call, Gu Cancan realized that she originally wanted to tell Qu Hongyu not to let others misunderstand the relationship between the two, but in the end, Qu Hongyu led the two to talk nonsense for a long time.
……
Gu Cancan stayed in the crew for ten days and finished filming his own scene. Her scene was filmed tightly by Yang Qi. These ten days are all her plays.
Gu Cancan left, and the actors in the crew were also completely convinced of Gu Cancan.
After the movie was released, Gu Cancan's performance was definitely the highlight of the film. This is the unanimous consensus reached in the crew.
Several leading actors were in mixed moods, they thought that Gu Cancan was just playing the bandit leader with a ticket, okay, it was indeed a ticket, but her acting skills in it were really amazing, to tell the truth, it caused a lot of pressure on several leading actors.
In case he is compared to Gu Cancan......
In the next shooting, the actors suddenly burst out with strong acting skills, and the filming process was extremely smooth, and even the finishing time was advanced by a week.
……
Gu Cancan returned to the capital and immediately began to prepare for the movie she was going to make.
This is a science fiction film, of course, it is not a pure hard science fiction, but a movie that is more inclined to the emotions of the characters, and the story is adapted from the short story of the famous Chinese science fiction author He Xi: The Sad One.
Yes, what Gu Cancan wants to shoot is He Xi's "Heartbreaker".
"Heartbreaker" is a deeply touching science fiction film, in which the two main threads that run through it are maternal love and scientific ideas that transcend their time.
Due to the protagonist's love for mathematics and his dedication to the theory of microcontinuity, he has a strong conflict with all aspects of society, including love, friendship, worldliness, etc.
The narrative is in the third person, telling the story of the protagonist with an invisible "I". The disapproval of the mentor, the gradual departure of the beloved girlfriend, and the impact of various vulgar and disadvantageous social evils make people feel the tragic ending of the protagonist, but the great maternal love becomes the key to saving everything.
When the ending tells the story of countless sad people, it makes people respect the countless people in history who were ahead of the times but were not recognized by the times, but made great contributions.
And the last sentence of the article, "Mom", all made people cry, and also made people see the most beautiful and selfless love, the source of strength and eternal hope in the world.
The so-called meaning of life is not so much pandering to the behavior of the majority, but after all, there are still some people who stand on the opposite side of the majority. It may be important to be recognized, but there are always some people who don't care about it.
"Heartbreaker" won the 15th China Science Fiction Galaxy Award by an overwhelming margin, and this grand occasion has not been surpassed so far.
There are almost no domestic science fiction fans who don't know "The Heartbreaker", it is He Xi's masterpiece.
Copyright Gu Cancan has long been bought from He Xi, although He Xi is a famous science fiction artist among science fiction fans, but in China, science fiction is a niche and can no longer be a niche, when the bright era found He Xi and said that he wanted to buy the film and television copyright of "The Sadder", He Xi once regarded the people of the bright era as a liar.
Knowing that it was true, He Xi was very excited, he has persisted in the field of science fiction for so long, from being penniless at the beginning to now being well-known in the science fiction industry, writing science fiction can be regarded as making some money and fame, but Bright Times is the first company to come to him to buy film and television copyrights.
He Xi's offer was so low that it was unimaginable in the bright era, and the film and television copyright of "Heartbreaker" only cost 100,000 yuan.
Zhang Li, the employee in charge of the purchase, was surprised, tried to repay the price, and successfully cut down 20,000 ......
Zhang Li replied to the company that the film and television copyrights of science fiction are unimaginably low, and it is recommended to buy a few more works to enrich the company's work library.
Su Luo was very moved, but Gu Cancan thought about it for a long time and reluctantly refused.
100,000 to buy "The Sadder", all of them are making a lot of money, if you are cheeky enough to buy multiple at a low price, this is a robbery while the fire is burning, especially Gu Cancan is a traverser, knowing that the copyright of these will rise in the future, and buying it in bulk now is equivalent to cheating the author.
The bright era is now very profitable, so don't take advantage of such a small advantage.
Gu Cancan wants to wait for "The Heartbreaker" to be filmed, if the box office is good, it can also drive the price of a batch of sci-fi film and television copyrights, and then buy it when the time comes, and he is not much ashamed in his heart.
In the end, the price of buying the film and television copyright of "The Heartbreaker" from He Xi was He Xi's own offer, 100,000 yuan.
No matter how high the price is, of course, the bright era can come out, but the bright era is easy to be regarded as s...
In fact, Zhang Ran also considered making other works, because the sci-fi flavor of "Heartbreaker" is really light.
Compared with "The Sadder", He Xi's other stories such as "Six Beings" or the works of other authors such as Da Liu are more watchable when adapted into movies, but the difficulty of filming has suddenly risen by several levels, and Gu Cancan feels that he can't control the large-scale scenes of shooting other works.
After thinking about it carefully, Gu Cancan chose "The Sadder".
"Heartbreaker" is easy to film, but it is actually difficult to shoot well. The story is relatively simple, lacks obvious conflict, and it is easy to make a dull literary film.
In other aspects, Gu Cancan is not worried, but he is worried about the rhythm.
To be honest, most of the domestic directors are not in a good rhythm, which is a major gap with Hollywood.
In the original time and space, "The Sadder" was only rumored to be adapted into a movie, and until Gu Cancan was reborn, he didn't see this movie, so in a sense, this is Gu Cancan's first movie shot by himself.
Bright Times, Screenwriter's Office.
In the screenwriter's room, several people are discussing.
Gu Cancan looked at the manuscript in his hand, this is the third version of the manuscript adapted by the screenwriters.
"Heartbreaker" is something that must polish the details in order to be adapted into a movie, the story is simple, and it is easy to be dull to shoot.
The first version of the script was written according to the rhythm of the original story, and after it was written, the screenwriter himself vetoed it before Gu Cancan could see it.
In the second version, the drama conflict was adjusted, but Gu Cancan thought that there were too many scenes between the protagonist He Xi and his girlfriend, and it looked more like an ethical drama.
The current version is the third corrected version.
This version of the script has been adjusted in terms of structure. The screenwriter proposed another angle, using He Hongwei as the first perspective.
"Therefore, the beginning of the movie is He Hongwei seeing "Micro Continuity Original" in his daughter's school library, and he found that this book is an absolute genius work, which gave him great inspiration. Gu Cancan flipped through the script, and said slowly while pondering: "This angle is good, the beginning is the future scene, we made the special effects of the future city more exquisite at the beginning, and it is easy to catch the audience's attention." ”
screenwriter He Wei said: "That's right, the opening gives the audience enough suspense to attract the audience to continue watching." How about Mr. Gu change like this? ”
Gu Cancan smiled, nodded and said, "I think this is very good, I am quite satisfied with this version of the script, so let's decide." If there is anything that needs to be modified in the future, it will be troublesome for everyone. ”
