Chapter 422: Similar Script [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
A quarter of an hour later.
I saw Gao Fei suddenly shake his head with a smile, and then put down the document in his hand.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Liying thought that Gao Fei didn't like this book, so she immediately looked eager to say something more.
Unexpectedly, when Gao Fei saw this, he smiled and waved his hand and said:
"Don't get me wrong, the script is very good, but it reminds me of the book "Farewell My Concubine"!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Liying's mood suddenly turned like a roller coaster, and she instantly turned sad into joy.
After all, Goofy has a good reputation for his vision in the selection of books.
Regarding this point, whether it is Zhou Yi's internal employees or others in the circle, almost all think so.
Even in the minds of some actors, this is the main reason why Goofy can soar into the sky and firmly leave them behind.
It's just that just as the director's aesthetics determine the upper limit of the movie, script appraisal also requires a certain literary background.
Although Gao Fei can't read the Four Books and Five Classics, and he can't say anything, he doesn't read other miscellaneous books, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting will be more or less lost.
It's all for the official's fart, don't chill!
So about this, other actors can't learn even if they want to.
However, compared with outsiders, Zhao Liying naturally does not have this difficulty, because if she doesn't understand anything, she can ask Gao Fei directly.
This time too!
Seeing that Gao Fei spoke so highly of the book he fancied, Zhao Liying was even a little incredulous for a while.
After all, "Farewell My Concubine" won the Cannes Palme d'Or, is her vision so good?
Thinking of this, Zhao Liying's eyes suddenly lit up, obviously she was already daydreaming.
It's just that Goofy's later words ruthlessly shattered her dream.
……
Because the content of the script is not long, after reading the script just now, Gao Fei read the original book attached to it.
And that's why Goofy reacted so strangely just now.
How so?
Gao Fei said that this script is very similar to the book of "Farewell My Concubine", but in fact, there is no problem at all.
Because the original works of both are second-rate, it was only when they met a first-class screenwriter that they turned decay into magic.
This is not Goofy's private slander.
Anyone who has watched the original work of "Farewell My Concubine" knows that the feelings of family and country in the movie are not written at all.
Of course, it's no wonder that Teacher Li Bihua is good at it, because what she is good at is a lingering love story between men and women like "Rouge Buckle".
It is precisely for this reason that when "Farewell My Concubine" was released.
Li Bihua revised the original work again and republished it according to the script adapted by Mr. Lu Wei.
This is now the latest version of "Farewell My Concubine".
And the same is true of the book in Goofy's hand right now.
Although the script and the original book are both telling the growth story of the two girls "July" and "Ansheng" who have met and loved each other since they were 13 years old.
But after reading the script and the script, Goofy felt that the two were essentially two completely different stories.
Even if the characters are the same, the life experiences of the characters are similar, but the core is completely different.
In Baby Anne's, "July and Ansheng" is more like the kind of bloody youth love story of "two women and one man".
However, after the adaptation of Zhou Yi's screenwriting team, the movie script presented richer details and heavier themes than the original book.
Because in the script, the screenwriter downplayed the bloody plot of "Two Daughters Snatching Husbands", and instead focused on the two girls.
Therefore, compared with the original book, the movie script is more like writing the growth history of two girls - from less and more to mature and free.
Although in this way, compared to the original book, the script changes are indeed bigger,
But after such an adaptation, the theme of the movie has become more profound.
There is more room for the audience to reminisce.
On the contrary, if it is filmed according to the original book, it may become an ordinary youth film!
If it weren't for this, the stage play of the same name adapted from "July and Ansheng" would not have been so quiet last year.
You must know that it was starring Jiang Yiyan, the proprietress of the cake shop, and if the response was a little better at that time, I am afraid that the right to adapt this movie will not fall into the hands of Zhao Liying.
So in the final analysis, Jiang Yiyan can't find those screenwriters.
Otherwise, no matter how blind she is, I'm afraid she won't let go of such a book!
……
To be honest, after listening to Gao Fei's words, Zhao Liying felt a little lost, and she thought that she had really dug up a big treasure.
But soon Xiao Zhao recovered.
After all, according to Gao Fei's evaluation,This book is actually very good.。
Thinking of this, Zhao Liying suddenly couldn't help but bend her eyebrows, and her eyes were full of smiles.
And Gao Fei did not disappoint her, and immediately nodded and promised:
"This project company has invested, and the producer is you."
Speaking of this, Gao Fei couldn't help but pause slightly.
After roughly estimating the scenes in the script in his heart, he continued to speak:
"Let's start with a budget of 50 million, such an art film, it's enough!"
Hearing this, Zhao Liying was immediately overjoyed.
You must know that she was even ready to pay for filming before she came, but she didn't expect Gao Fei to be so generous.
And hearing this, Han Li on the side couldn't help but smile.
After all, this project can be recognized by Gao Fei, which shows that Zhao Liying's vision is still quite good.
Of course, the two also know that it's a little too early to rejoice, because before the movie is made, everything is empty now.
So after being happy for a while, Zhao Liying quickly calmed down and asked Gao Fei how to be a good producer.
Seeing this, Gao Fei couldn't help nodding in his heart.
Yes, with this mentality, her future path is estimated to be much more stable than others.
Thinking like this, Gao Fei didn't cherish himself with a broom, and even patiently pointed out:
"You don't have to worry about the behind-the-scenes and shooting team, there are people in this company."
"But the choice of director is a problem now."
"Although both the mouse and Lao Wu are free now, I don't recommend letting them shoot this kind of movie with a girl's perspective and delicate feelings."
Speaking of this, Gao Fei suddenly subconsciously knocked on the table and said:
"Compared to the two of them, Chen Kexin is actually quite suitable."
"If nothing else, at least he did a good job in "Sweet Honey", which is quite the way of "July and Ansheng"!"
Hearing this, Zhao Liying and Han Li couldn't help but nod thoughtfully after thinking about it for a while.
Indeed, few male directors can shoot the delicate feeling of "Sweet Honey"!
But from this point of view, Xue Xiaolu is actually quite suitable.
But she doesn't have a schedule now, so Zhao Liying can only shake her head regretfully after thinking about it.
However, although the director has decided, casting is still a problem.
As a double-heroine movie, Lin Qiyue and Li Ansheng are naturally the absolute core.
One of them is as quiet as water, and the other is as flamboyant as fire.
Personalities are very different, but they are attracted to each other.
It can be said that in the whole movie, the character arcs of the two are almost full.
But the more this is the case, the more difficult it is to choose the actor.
Especially when Zhao Liying didn't think about whether to play "July" or "Ansheng", this kind of casting is even more of a headache.
So after thinking about it briefly, Gao Fei decisively put this issue aside, preparing to wait until the director was in place to give the director a headache.
As for him?
Naturally, it's time to go to the racecourse to relax and enjoy the happy time of the prancing horse......
