Chapter 31: The God of Killing (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation Votes)
"Did she really say that?" Gu Bei had a little headache, and felt a little guilty about Master Liu, "I would have gone over first if I had known." ”
Deng Chao put a piece of braised pork on Gu Bei's plate and put it in his mouth, and said a little vaguely: "It's good to apologize to her in the future, now solve the drama first, or you can let her come over and watch us perform the drama...... The braised pork is really greasy, but it is really fragrant. ”
Gu Bei patted Deng Chao's chopsticks that were about to take away his rations again, and said, "This is a good idea, but I don't dare to call her now." ”
"Are you still afraid of a girl?"
Gu Bei pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm...... It's not about being afraid. ”
"Shh
Liu Ye also casually sandwiched a piece of braised pork from Ergu Bei, and said, "How did you write the script?" ”
"I've been looking up materials in the library, and the script hasn't been written yet." Gu Bei slapped Liu Ye's sneaky chopsticks again and said, "However, I wrote an outline. ”
"I'll see." Liu Ye put down his chopsticks, took out a tissue from the side and wiped his hands and lips.
Gu Bei didn't hesitate, he directly took out the first draft he had completed from his bag, handed it over and said: "There is only one synopsis, my idea is this, "Twelve Angry Men" takes place in a conference room, a discussion about a legal event, so I think, can we do a discussion about academics, the same room, the opportunity of "Twelve Angry Men" is the characterization of a crime, and this story is the reason for a parting." ”
Deng Chao also came to Liu Ye's side, and the two of them looked at the outline of the script written by Gu Bei together.
"This Man Comes from Earth, a professor who has lived for 14,000 years, is very knowledgeable, does not age, and engages in an ideological confrontation about history, biology, psychology, and religion." Deng Chao looked at Gu Bei and said, "You are a science fiction story!" ”
"Sort of." Gu Bei shrugged his shoulders and said, "But I still need to find a way to fill in the scientific logic inside, and I need to be flawless." ”
Liu Ye frowned and said, "How did you come up with this idea?" ”
"I watched Jerome Bixby's posthumous work, he is a screenwriter and novelist, and he wrote a story with the same name and similar content, but I haven't finished adapting the script yet."
"It's a good idea, but the drama isn't enough and the lines are too serious, so it seems a bit inappropriate to change it to a drama, and the audience may look boring."
Hearing Liu Ye's words, Gu Bei thought carefully about the dramas he had watched, and really felt that "This Man is from Earth" was too dull, and the stage effect of making a drama was not enough.
"Then the idea doesn't work?" Gu Bei was a little disheartened, feeling like a fire in his heart was ruthlessly poured with a basin of ice water, and by the way, he also offended Master Liu.
Liu Ye thought for a moment and said: "Not really, we can follow this line of thought, in another way, not to discuss academics, but to find some themes with dramatic conflicts, preferably quarrels and funny, if it can trigger some thinking, it would be great." ”
Hearing this, Deng Chao also nodded and said: "Quarrels are easy to find, and there are many contents of quarrels, family, money, accidents, education, and concepts...... The question is how to write to make sense. ”
"Family, education, and concept ......" Gu Bei thought of something again, but after the failure of "This Man is from Earth", Gu Bei was a little unsure, hesitated, Gu Bei still said, "I have another idea......
"Huh?" Liu Ye looked at Gu Bei and said, "Tell me." ”
"Parents on both sides of the school because of their children's fights, get together to solve problems, on one side is a very eloquent couple, on the other side is a very busy agent and a freelance writer, at first both of them are very harmonious, but also think about big things into small things, small things into nothing, but with the conversation on both sides, the two sides began to start a quarrel about children's education, and then developed into a conflict of life concepts."
"Shhh...... The story is worth writing, but you still have to write it to judge. Liu Ye affirmed, "It's more suitable than your original "This Man is from Earth". ”
“OK! I'll write it out as soon as possible. Gu Bei put down his chopsticks, packed up his things and prepared to leave the cafeteria, "After eating, help me put away the plates." ”
"Hey, you're not done yet!"
"I've eaten it, don't waste the rest of the braised pork!"
……
In the next few days, after normal classes, Gu Bei basically stayed in the dormitory, writing drama scripts with a notebook, and occasionally went to the library or an Internet café outside the school to find information, and stayed for several hours.
When he was in class, Gu Bei often thought about rewriting the story he thought of into a script, so Gu Bei was picked out by the teacher for separate training because of his distraction, but fortunately, Gu Bei had a solid foundation and did not fall behind in his studies.
"You say my child is a villain? Your child is! ......" Gu Bei read his own "God of Killing" over and over again, constantly deleting and modifying it, this was originally a movie in the memory of the HC old demon, and now Gu Bei needs to change this story to be suitable for presentation on the drama stage.
"There is no conversion of shots...... Then supplement the plot from the stage design......"
Although writing the script gave Gu Bei a headache, he was also very excited, and in the process of creation, Gu Bei experienced a pleasure that he had never had before, which was far from studying a certain scene, or a certain character could bring, Gu Bei looked at the characters born in his pen, the image became more and more plump, and the character became more and more sound, it was really as if he was watching his children grow up slowly.
Five days before the New Year's Day party, Gu Bei finally wrote his script for the drama "God of Killing" and handed it to Deng Chao and Liu Ye, both of whom like this drama that requires very high acting skills, maybe change the comedy elements that Gu Bei added in it, and the most important thing is that this "God of Killing" has highlights, depth, and is attractive and challenging for actors.
"Four people, two men and two women, three of us, need an off-field assistance, and we also need to choose one person to play one of the women."
After Deng Chao finished speaking, Gu Bei and Liu Ye looked at him in unison, seeing this, Deng Chao pulled the corners of his mouth speechlessly, and said, "Do you realize that I am playing a woman?" ”
"Yes!"
"Can I choose for myself?"
"I can't."
"That's one female character missing."
At this time, Gu Bei looked at Liu Ye: "The classmates in our class are lining up Hanoch Levin's drama "Requiem", there has been nothing to do recently in the junior year, can you borrow a female classmate from your class to come over?" ”
"Yes, I'll try." Liu Ye nodded, this "God of Killing" still needs the efforts of three people, and it can't all be handed over to Gu Bei.
Nodding, Gu Bei said to Deng Chao: "Brother Chao, you go to solve the costume problem, I will arrange the props and stage design, try to complete these things within today, and we need to hurry up and rehearse the rest of the time." ”
"I have no problem here, but I need the teacher's approval before I can perform on stage."
"When will it be reviewed?"
"There were two times when the preliminary review was that the level of exclusion was not enough, on the evening of the 30th, and the second time was on the 31st, and the rehearsals were not in place, and finally three to five dramas would be determined."
Gu Bei frowned and said, "That means we only have one day to prepare today, and two days to rehearse tomorrow?" The day after tomorrow is going to be the first trial? ”
"Yes!" Deng Chao nodded, and continued, "We may not have enough time. ”
"Don't worry about it, even if it's not for ourselves, for the sake of the good book "God of Killing", we have to try our best to fight for it." Liu Ye patted Deng Chao's shoulder, "Okay, let's hurry up, it's been a little hard these days." ”
With a slight smile, Gu Bei stretched out his right hand and said, "For the sake of the God of Killing!" ”
Deng Chao willingly put his right hand on Gu Bei's hand: "For the sake of "God of Killing"! ”
"For God of Killing!" Liu Ye in the end also smiled, like Deng Chao and Gu Bei, there was a light in his eyes.
