Chapter 5: This movie, it's exciting enough!

The movie "Manslaughter" is the first movie that comes to Su Yang's mind, and it is also one of the movies he remembers the most.

back then.

With a total box office of 1.333 billion, this movie topped the list of movies in the same period, beating the "Fast and Furious" series.

The box office of 1.333 billion is completely in line with their expectations.

At the same time, there are not many scenes that use special effects in "Manslaughter", and the overall filming will be much less than in the past.

A normal commercial film, if you want to shoot it, the budget is at least 10 million.

The budget for Hollywood blockbusters is even more outrageous.

Sometimes, a single frame of the picture has to burn millions.

And the movie "Manslaughter" can be regarded as a small-budget production, with full budget, 10 million is enough.

Thereinto.

Insert some ads casually, and the funds will come back.

And then secondly.

The script of this movie is wonderful enough.

This is also the reason why Su Yang, as a real director, chose the first drama.

Its script is wonderful enough!

Eye-catching.

If you want Zhang Yimou to nod, a normal script will definitely not work, and it may not be able to enter his eyes if it is generally brilliant.

You know, Zhang Yimou has read hundreds of good scripts?

But the drama "Manslaughter", as an outlier in suspense detectives, is definitely eye-catching enough and explosive enough.

Previous life.

"Manslaughter" was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award, Best Director Award, Best Actor Award, Best Actress Award and other awards, but it was never allowed to win.

The reason is also very simple.

First, because of the extreme nature of its subject matter, it is a problem to even pass the review when showing a film with such an extreme theme in China, let alone winning awards, and it can be screened on the big screen, which can be regarded as the grace of the General Administration.

The second is because of the 'remake'.

Is this drama exciting?

Every audience who leaves the cinema can say pertinently: wonderful!

But it is a remake after all, after all, the final ending is still biased towards the result that the General Administration wants to see.

The murderer turned himself in, and the sheriff who did bad things was imprisoned, which can be said to be a great joy, and it can be said that it preached 'truth, goodness, and beauty', and I can't wait to engrave the eight honors and eight shames on the finale, if it weren't for this, this drama would not have passed the trial.

But is this ending perfect?

It's not perfect.

Compared with the original version, "Manslaughter" has been extremely restrained.

And "Manslaughter" is a remake of "Manslaughter", which is a remake, and it is naturally much more difficult to win awards.

But this life is different.

In this life, "Manslaughter and Concealment of Heaven" has not yet appeared.

In other words, the script of "Manslaughter" in Su Yang's hand now is the first draft!

……

Now.

The moon star is sparse.

Su Yang was tall, he was wearing very ordinary white pajamas, but it was this pajamas that instantly pulled in the sense of distance between him and Zhang Yimou.

These pajamas were specially changed by Su Yang.

He wanted to give Zhang Yimou a feeling of family, so when Zhang Yimou saw Su Yang in pajamas at this moment, instead of feeling uncomfortable, he was more comfortable.

It's like looking at your juniors.

There was also an appreciative smile on his face, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were slightly raised.

"Take off your glasses."

Zhang Yimou took the script in Su Yang's hand and spoke.

"Hmm."

Su Yang took off his black-framed glasses and put them on the corner of the table.

Then he sat on the sofa, his eyes locked on Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou is also an old fox, and at a glance, he knew what Su Yang was thinking, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't get close to me, I know you want to make a movie, this time you want me to be the assistant director?" ”

Zhang Yimou shook the script in his hand and asked.

"Yes."

Su Yang's face was not embarrassed at all, but was more calm and calm: "Since my uncle knows, then I'm not welcome." ”

"This is the script I wrote, if you think you can shoot it, you can shoot it together, if you think you can't shoot it, then ......"

Zhang Yimou raised his eyebrows: "How about that?" ”

"Then I'll find someone else to match."

Su Yang said with a smile.

"Hahahaha!"

Zhang Yimou laughed, he didn't mean to laugh, he just felt a little incredible.

How could Su Yang write a script?

"Then I'm going to have to take a good look at the script written by my nephew."

In terms of seniority, Su Yang is Zhang Yimou's nephew, and Su Shihao and Zhang Yimou are also world friends, and the relationship is very iron, but Su Yang did not rely on this relationship and acted recklessly.

Present.

In the quiet air, Zhang Yimou opened the script that Su Yang wrote word by word in seven hours.

How many words can you write in seven hours?

If you write at normal hand speed, you can write about 2,000 words in an hour, and you can write 14,000 words in seven hours without interruption, but Su Yang only used 8,000 words in the script of "Manslaughter".

He omitted a lot of the minutiae.

is even deliberately ignoring the lens.

The reason is very simple, this script is for Zhang Yimou to read.

Zhang Yimou, as a top-level director in China, if he writes the camera by himself, it is definitely a ridiculous and generous thing.

Rather than this, it is better to write the story directly, handle the camera or something, and hand it over to Zhang Yimou in the later stage, perhaps, he can handle it better than the original "Manslaughter".

Minutes and seconds passed.

Zhang Yimou, a well-known domestic director, sat in Su Yang's study, maintaining the same posture for a full hour.

He read the script for a total of 8,000 words, and he read it for a full hour.

Thereinto.

Many plots have to be watched back and forth and watched repeatedly to confirm the smoothness and rationality of their logic.

Finally, in the first hour and thirty minutes, Zhang Yimou closed the script, staring closely at the word "manslaughter" on the title page.

After being silent for a long time, he raised his head and looked at Su Yang as if he was looking at a freak.

"Is this really what you wrote?"

Zhang Yimou asked.

"Absolutely."

Su Yang nodded, then got up and brewed two cups of coffee, one was handed to Zhang Yimou, and the other was held in his hand.

Fingers were trembling slightly.

Can't help it.

Because Su Yang is not sure whether Zhang Yimou will take this film, this drama is very exciting, but there are many out-of-the-ordinary parts, and taking over this drama means that it is risky and may encounter a box office Waterloo.

Because the domestic suspense market is not good.

Su Yang has filmed so many dramas, and he knows very well what domestic audiences like to watch.

Youth love, fairy tales, police movies, action movies, and even cartoons, but only don't eat suspense!

Su Yang knows the domestic audience too well.

But.

This time, he had to make a suspense film.

The reason is simple!

His reputation is stinky, and he not only needs to make a successful film to make up for his reputation, but more importantly, he must attract well-known directors to co-produce with him through a script.

As for the scripts of youth love and fairy tales, he couldn't find a suitable drama at all.

Because this kind of drama is too ordinary, so ordinary that it is impossible for me to find a director to co-produce it.

This kind of script, a director like Zhang Yimou, wants to vomit at a glance, how can he have the idea of co-production?

Therefore.

Su Yang would be so reckless.

"You're worried."

Zhang Yimou laughed, and he saw Su Yang's slightly trembling fingers.

But he didn't know.

It's not worry, it's bone cancer!

After exertion, it hurts to the bone marrow!

If it weren't for the system, if it weren't for the hope of living, Su Yang would probably have been lying in the hospital like those patients undergoing chemotherapy, not seeing the light of day.

He can come out and move around and live like a normal person, but that doesn't mean he doesn't hurt!
