Chapter Forty-Three: This Script Scared the Immortals to Death!
After finalizing the candidate, Han Zhou needs to stay here with Wang Xiya.
On the one hand, I have to wait for the people from "Real Challenge" to come and sign the contract.
On the other hand, waiting for the actors' contracts.
What Han Zhou needs is to sign a contract with everyone immediately, and then quickly return to Hengdian to film this drama.
Therefore, there can be no instability.
All must be contracted now.
If one of them can't be signed today, they must be replaced immediately.
Just kidding, this movie was only filmed in six days.
The real shooting time should be about three days.
There are also two or three days to check and fill in the gaps, as well as prepare props before filming, arrange the filming location, and so on.
Soon, Han Zhou ushered in the first actor, a well-known gold medal veteran actor, a cream student when he was young, and the protagonist of the movie was from 20 to 50 years old, and Zhou Guoqing, who was nearly 70 years old.
Han Zhou had already typed out the script with Wang Xiya's printer.
At this time, Wang Xiya was reading Han Zhou's script seriously.
As soon as Zhou Guoqing came, he smiled and stretched out his hand: "The future is terrifying, I heard that you are only twenty-two years old, and it is the second time you have been a director, and the first movie will be released on New Year's Day?" ”
Han Zhou laughed: "Hello Teacher Zhou, I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Zhou Guoqing didn't say a word, and took the script: "I'll take a look." ”
Zhou Guoqing is an old actor, he knows how to read the script very well, and it only took five minutes to read an outline, and he probably knows the style and content of the story.
"Tea party, or fire pond night talk?"
"It's a lot in the north, but it's rare in the south."
"But why is this movie called 'This Man Is From Earth'?"
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, this is really hard to explain.
The original version is actually called "This Man Comes from a Cave", but in English, cave and earth are the same word.
When this movie was already successful abroad, it was introduced into China, and the original translator looked at this movie, a science fiction movie, but when translated as "This Man Comes from a Cave", there was no science fiction meaning.
The original English name actually has a strong sci-fi connotation, in the English context, the meaning of this man from a cave should be 'modern caveman', which can make people think of a modern environment, a story of ancient humans.
So the translator in charge of the Chinese-English translation thought about it for a long time and translated the film into "This Man is from Earth", so that the meaning of science fiction is very strong.
And in essence, there is nothing wrong with it, this is indeed an earthling.
Han Zhou: "Well, it's more sci-fi. ”
In the background setting of Han Zhou, the protagonist is called Gu Lang, an ancient human born 11,000 years ago from the Shangshan site in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
If you really want to choose a name, this movie should be called "The Man Who Went Up the Mountain", which is too nonsense, not many fans in the country know that "Going Up the Mountain" is the name of an ancient civilization site.
Don't talk about this, even if it's Liangzhu, Longshan, and Erlitou, not everyone knows about it, maybe everyone knows more about Sanxingdui.
But! It was a past life.
Sanxingdui in this world is far less famous than Sanxingdui in the previous life, Sanxingdui only dug out two ruins pits, and in the previous life 22 years has dug out eight pits (in fact, there are nine, the Qing Dynasty dug out one, out of a large number of jade, sent to the capital on the way to the Qing court officials around the Qing court to rub oil, and finally sent to the Qing court The hair is gone, all lost).
Therefore, in the end, Han Zhou did not use these ancient ruins as the title of the film.
Zhou Guoqing: "What is my role?" ”
"Psychiatrist, new year."
Zhou Guoqing nodded, and then looked at the script.
[35-year-old Gu Lang, a history professor at Jiangsu and Zhejiang University, resolutely chose to resign after ten years of work, and colleagues came to see him off and expressed their puzzlement, and the story began.
Inside the seemingly humble house, Wu Daozi's paintings, bows and arrows of the Three Kingdoms, and prehistoric stone knives are decorated among them, and a group of knowledgeable people such as anthropologists, historians, Chinese scholars, biologists, and psychologists gather in the humble suburban courtyard.
Gu Lang, who claims to have experienced 11,000 years, blurted out an abbreviated version of the history of human civilization, which transformed this final gathering from a simple farewell to a subversive academic debate, and tested the audience's critical thinking ability. 】
Soon, Zhou Guoqing raised his head and looked at Han Zhou in astonishment: "This movie is to shoot a science fiction film in the form of bonfire night talk?!" ”
"Can you still shoot like that?"
Han Zhou smiled and nodded: "It's worthy of Teacher Zhou, you can see it so quickly." ”
Zhou Guoqing was puzzled: "Then why do you want to design it like this here, the setting of this Wu Daozi's painting is not right." The state did not allow paintings from before the Song Dynasty to be privately traded. ”
"In a modern context, this is a violation of harmony and a loophole."
Han Zhou: "So, what I wrote was that the protagonist said that this painting was a fake painting, and the protagonist never admitted that it was a real painting, except this time." Moreover, this painting is equivalent to being handed down, and there is no cultural relics trade. ”
"Logically round enough."
It took Han Zhou nine days to completely sinicize the script, and there were more than a little changes.
For example, Wu Daozi, Wu Daozi is also a painting saint in this world.
Although the peer of the Tang Dynasty who overthrew Wu Zetian's rule changed history, that peer also knew that Wu Daozi was a future painting saint, so he accepted Wu Daozi's father as an apprentice.
Later, Wu Daozi was his apprentice grandson, and he also deliberately cultivated Wu Daozi in the direction of a painter.
And Wu Daozi in the history of this world is more famous than Wu Daozi in the previous life, and he is world-famous.
After all, the Chinese country in this world has almost reached the top of the world in terms of hard power, which is on par with the United States, and the propaganda of soft culture is slightly higher than that of the previous life.
The emergence of such a link can quickly bring people into the play.
Soon, Zhou Guoqing felt the charm of this script and kept asking questions excitedly.
Zhou Guoqing asked a lot of questions, and Han Zhou patiently explained them one by one.
This process took three hours.
At the end of the three hours, Zhou Guoqing saw the last part and his eyes widened: "So, Han Zhou, your role is the father of my new character?!" ”
Seventy-year-old Zhou Guoqing wants to play the son of a twenty-year-old man in a movie, which is indeed a bit outrageous.
However, Zhou Guoqing was only surprised, and then slapped his thigh: "This design is very good!" ”
"It's equivalent to the fact that in the end, the movie confirms the identity of this man, rather than in the form of blank space."
Someone next to him spoke: "It's really wonderful, this script is amazing!" ”
On the other side: "That's right, it can almost be said that it is in the form of a drama to completely show such a sci-fi picture, our domestic sci-fi is relatively weak, and this movie will open the era of sci-fi movies in our country!" ”
Huaguo, too pragmatic.
If you are pragmatic, it is difficult to achieve anything in science fiction.
Unless the degree of genius of the practitioners themselves far exceeds that of the entire era, such as Da Liu.
There are also such people in China today.
But! This does not mean that this kind of person will enter the industry of science fiction writing, science fiction film creation.
There is no shortage of talented people among the 1.4 billion people, but not everyone can find a job that matches their talent, if there are ten science fiction geniuses in the country, then the probability of one of these people entering the science fiction industry is too low.
After all, the entire industry together is only two or three hundred people, two or three hundred out of 1.4 billion people, just including the 1 in 400 million science fiction genius, the probability is about equal to zero.
Everyone was sighing at the script, but Han Zhou and Zhou Guoqing were stunned.
It turns out that the entire cast team is all in place!
They all read the script together behind their backs and listened to Han Zhou's script.
I didn't speak at first, and I didn't speak until I finished reading it now.
Ye Manyi, the actress of the popular Xiaohua age, looked at Han Zhou with a hint of excitement, three points of smile, and seven points of curiosity.
"Hello Han Zhou, I'm Ye Manyi, your girlfriend in the play."
Han Zhou smiled: "Don't talk about girlfriends, my wife in the play doesn't have a thousand but eight hundred, hahahaha~"
Han Zhou made a relatively cold joke.
Ye Manyi also smiled: "But only one really appeared in the picture, and the others were just talking about it." ”
"There weren't even a few mentioned in the script."
Everyone gathered around to get to know Han Zhou.
Han Zhou's script gave them a very strong sense of intimacy.
As an actor, it is very difficult to find a good script.
Basically, there are some more elaborate actors, and they can't receive a drama all year round.
And this time, when I was invited, it was Wang Xiya who considered it, and it was a very suitable choice for the role, which was originally suitable for the role, and after reading the complete script, it was very exciting, and it could even be said to be very amazing.
These exquisite gold medal supporting actors are all very excited.
Even, the drama addiction has already come up.
When this group of people got together, they all thought: Soaring acting, right? Ye must be the best.
Among them, the youngest is Liu Xi, a child star who debuted and is now in college, and is a quasi-second-tier actress who barely entered the ranks of second-tier actors, but has only made TV series and has never made movies.
Liu Xi's role, to be honest, is not brilliant, and even a little redundant, just a spice.
But Liu Xi felt that being able to star in this movie would be a very heavyweight bargaining chip for him in the future, so he said directly: "Director Han, do you want to sign the contract now?" Is filming about to start? ”
Han Zhou nodded: "Sign the contract now, all the actors have signed the contract, and we will leave for Hengdian to start preparing for filming." ”
"Prepare for a day or two at most, and then we will start shooting."
Wang Xiya next to her took out the contract.
Liu Xi didn't even read it, signed it directly, and then went to get a set of scripts: "Then I'm going to study the lines." ”
Liu Xi knew that a person of Wang Xiya's level wanted to pit himself, and there were many ways, and others didn't disdain to pit himself for such a small role, so he directly gave his own attitude.
The others also picked up the contract and looked at it.
This contract is very simple, but because of the particularity of this movie, Han Zhou demanded that if someone quit halfway and the film was unfilmed, he must be compensated ten times the salary.
Because once one person quits, the entire shooting cycle, all the time and the plan can be said to be almost completely nullified.
Seeing this clause, everyone didn't think much about it.
Originally, there were only six days of filming, and the salary was not high, and ten times the compensation was two months' salary, which for them, that is, the gold medal supporting roles in the two dramas were earned.
And, what can happen in a week? There are also no schedule conflicts.
So, one by one, the contracts were signed.
Wang Xiya: "To be honest, I really want to invest in this movie. ”
Han Zhou smiled: "Pull it down, there must be a time when I look for you to invest, but not this." ”
This is definitely the first pot of gold to make money, and Han Zhou will not share any benefits.
After earning this first pot of gold and officially entering the film and television industry, Han Zhou needs Wang Xiya's support and resources.
It's not too late to cooperate.
After signing the contract, Han Zhou and his team quickly booked tickets and flew to Hengdian.
The money for this ticket was still from Wang Xiya.
Han Zhou had to go back a little faster, not just to start filming as soon as possible.
And because Chen Xiaoyong found an assistant director for Han Zhou!
But Chen Xiaoyong told Han Zhou: If you don't come back, the assistant director Zhang Jiuquan will run away!
Han Zhou only had one sentence: "Two!" Leave people at New World Entertainment and I'll be right back! ”
……
When they arrived in Hengdian, Tianle's people came over and followed everyone to the hotel that Wang Xiya had booked for them.
And Han Zhou quickly took a taxi back to the company.
Back at the company, Han Zhou saw that someone was sneaking around and wanted to go out.
And Chen Xiaoyong was blocked at the door: "Brother, I'm really coming back soon!" Believe me, I'm not in a pyramid scheme den! Believe me! ”
