Chapter 4 There's something about this kid

A sentence reminded everyone who was having a heated discussion, and turned their heads to look at Yang Jie's gaze, only to realize that hey, there is still someone in the room.

The young man is white and clean, very attractive, what is it called?

Gu Bei!

Listening to Director Yang Jie's introduction, he is a new artist, and he can join this group just after he comes, I'm afraid the background is very deep!

"Xiao Gu, don't worry and boldly say that since there is a meeting to discuss, it is necessary to brainstorm."

"That's right! It doesn't matter if it's wrong. ”

"Let's talk, let's talk, Xiao Gu, you are also in our group, you can't be a spectator, you have to actively participate in it, young people are active in thinking, there must be places that we can't think of and can't see."

Everyone encouraged them, and as seniors in Taili, they were also very interested in this young man who met for the first time.

There must be the care of the old-timers, but at the same time, I also want to see Gu Bei's condition.

They are all doing practical things, but they don't want to come to a mess and boil their qualifications.

"Xiao Gu! Everyone asks you to say it, and you just say it. ”

Yang Jie also said along the way, she was a hundred unhappy about the Taili's practice of forcibly stuffing Gu Bei, a young man, into the preparatory group of "Journey to the West".

It's not that he has any opinions on Gu Bei.

Mainly because, while taking over the drama "Journey to the West", Yang Jie also felt that the burden of a thousand catties was on her shoulders, and she was already mentally prepared, and in the next few years, I am afraid that she will have to suffer a lot.

Therefore, the people selected are either old people in Taiwan, or they have cooperated before and can endure hardships.

Like Gu Bei, when he was twenty years old, and he didn't go through the experience of beating, can he survive it?

But since it's here, there's no way to go back, if you can use it, you will use it, and if you can't stand it, you'll leave.

Gu Bei was originally very conscious of being a newcomer and planned to listen and watch more, but since everyone encouraged him and Director Yang Jie named him, he couldn't continue to be invisible.

Besides, Gu Bei really didn't plan to just be a spectator.

"Journey to the West" is an important part of his childhood memories, and he can enter this group by mistake and participate in the creative process of the classics, which is still exciting to think about.

"Director Yang, teachers, I am young and knowledgeable, no more knowledgeable and experienced than your teachers, what I say is right or wrong, just as a family."

Is this a young man?

In this way, the old fritters are about the same.

There are also many newcomers in Taiwan every year, and the impression of those newcomers is basically the same as that of the old-timers here.

There are two big words "dissatisfied" on his face.

It is only a face respect for them, and they are always ready to take their place.

Yang Jie was also puzzled, she had already read Gu Bei's file, born in 1962, just after her birthday, and was 19 years old.

It is said that a young person of this age, how many people and things can experience, Yang Jie is also young, at this age, what is she like?

His mind is full of passion and ideals, he thinks he can change the world, and he only thinks about rushing forward.

But after listening to Gu Bei's words......

It's clearly a slippery head.

"Tell me about it."

Gu Bei knew in his heart that if he didn't show his hand in front of these old-timers, even if he entered the group, he could only be a marginal figure.

Just now, everyone has been discussing for a long time, and the questions raised also involve all aspects, such as stunts, character modeling, martial arts design, framing, and so on.

But there is a problem, and it is also the most critical problem, that everyone has tacitly agreed not to touch.

Money!

If you want to shoot a classical masterpiece, especially a mythological drama like "Journey to the West", you can't afford to shoot a six!

But is there any money in Taili now?

It's the end of the year, and the appropriation above at the beginning of the year has already filled the hole, I'm afraid that there is a nest of rats lying in the safe of the financial room.

Throughout the morning, Lao Zhang said the most that there was no money in Taiwan, and he was very poor.

Many plans can only be shelved because of funding problems, and many ideas ...... In the end, it can only be an idea.

The status quo is like this, Gu Bei naturally won't ask for that suspicion, the matter of money is solved by the leaders above, and when it comes to their group, Director Yang Jie will naturally communicate with the leaders.

Even if he wanted to go to the fate, that bowl would not reach Gu Bei's hands.

What he's going to say now......

"Just now Mr. Wang mentioned that with a line of words in the book, those fairies and monsters can soar through the clouds and fog, covering mountains and seas, this is a specific lens presentation problem, but before considering this problem, I think it is more important to adapt and condense the hundreds of times, 870,000 words of "Journey to the West" into a literary script."

Belch?

The eyes of everyone looking at Gu Bei suddenly became strange.

It's not like Bole discovered Maxima, but ......

This kind of core question is also something that you can talk about casually?

You're a new artist, just tell me what you're responsible for!

"Go on!"

Yang Jie has some interest in Gu Bei, the partner, young people should dare to think and speak, dare to say and dare to do, and the artist who stipulates it can't talk about the script.

If she is a rule-follower, she can offend the previous leader because of her work.

Gu Bei also knew that he had trespassed, but if he just said something superficially, it was obviously not enough to make a deep impression

""Journey to the West" can be said to be a household name in China, widely known, whether it is the literary image of the four masters and apprentices, or the story in it, it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Yes, audience recognition is the most important thing.

Yang Jie nodded subconsciously, feeling that this kid had something, not a straw bag with an empty head.

She is also worried about the script, where to focus and where to start?

Not only the script, but also the problems and difficulties that others just mentioned.

When the meeting was held in the morning, many people had already given her opinions, some people said that martial arts should be more exciting than "Shaolin Temple", otherwise it would not be called Monkey King; Some people say that they must do more stunts, and they must be more amazing than Japan's "Astro Boy"; Some people say that Sun Wukong must hook his face, otherwise it will not be called art; Some people also say that they should set up a scene in the studio, otherwise it will not be magical enough.

But Yang Jie didn't agree with any of the suggestions provided by these people.

Gu Bei continued: "Teachers, I have an immature suggestion, to make "Journey to the West" well, we must first be faithful to the original work, the original work of "Journey to the West" provides us with a very good story foundation, but after all, TV series are different from novels, we can't think of fairies and monsters as soon as we mention "Journey to the West", let alone treat it as a simple mythological story. ”

"Journey to the West is not a mythical story, what is it? Is it still a realistic theme? ”

Peng Li was an anxious person, and without waiting for Gu Bei to finish speaking, she hurriedly said.

"Teacher Peng, it is to extract reality in this mythical story, such as ...... Human. ”

Human?

Hearing these three words, Yang Jie's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she was in a fog, and suddenly saw the light.

After receiving this task, the problem she has been thinking about is how to set the tone for "Journey to the West".

The three words "human touch" that Gu Bei said immediately attracted her.

"The human touch, Xiao Gu, where does "Journey to the West" come from?"

Faced with Peng Li's question, Gu Bei was not in a hurry.

"These three words seem to have nothing to do with the mythical story of "Journey to the West", but in fact, no matter what kind of play, if there is no love, you will lose your soul, so you must focus on portraying the characters and depicting human feelings in thick and colorful."

In the original work of "Journey to the West", various artistic images have been successfully created, and the main characters in them have distinct character traits, whether it is Sun Wukong or Zhu Bajie, they all have human thoughts and feelings.

Sun Wukong is affectionate and righteous, with clear love and hate; Although Zhu Bajie is lazy to eat, he is still a good person with shortcomings in general; Monk Sha worked hard; Tang Xuanzang is sincere and tenacious.

The four of them have not only deepened the love between master and apprentice, but also the love of family and country, the love of children and so on.

As for the demons and monsters encountered on the way west, the kings and ministers all have their own characteristics and true feelings.

Gu Bei talked for a long time, his throat was so dry that he was about to smoke, and finally made a summary: "Just like Lu. Mr. Xun said: Gods and demons are all human, and the spirit is also sophisticated. ”

"Good!"

Yang Jie suddenly slapped the table, startling everyone who was listening intently to Gu Bei's speech, ready to seize the opportunity to refute it.

Good?

What the hell is going on?

"It is true that we should focus on writing love, human feelings, whether it is a king or a minister, or a fairy or monster, it should be a living existence, affectionate, desired, Xiao Gu, well said."

was recognized by Director Yang Jie, Gu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, and the novice task of initially gaining a foothold in the crew was basically achieved.

"The human touch is the core of the script adaptation, specifically when it comes to the creation of literary scripts, Xiao Gu, do you have any other ideas?"

Hehe!

This old lady, is it possible that she plans to clean everything in his stomach at once?

Of course, as a reborn, Gu Bei's biggest advantage is his foresight, in his previous life, he had watched "Journey to the West" countless times, and he had also watched an interview with director Yang Jie, and he knew a lot about the little old lady's understanding of "Journey to the West".

Filming "Journey to the West" with a "human touch" was originally the tone set by director Yang Jie for the creation of the script.

"Concentrate on the most exciting parts, shoot them into stories, episode by episode, continuous and independent, and try to make each episode unique, avoid the similarity of the plot, and keep the audience fresh at all times."

To adapt the famous work "Journey to the West", it is not difficult to learn the content before the scriptures, Sun Wukong learns art, gets the armor of the divine soldier, and makes havoc in the Heavenly Palace, which is cool everywhere, and the real difficulty is after the beginning of the scriptures.

Every time there is a difficulty, the master is arrested, and the apprentice goes to save it, but if he can't fight the monster, he goes to find a helper.

What's the point of going back and forth like this?

The 86 version of "Journey to the West" can't become a classic.

Oops!

This kid doesn't just have a little something, he really has a lot of them.

Yang Jie suddenly had a peculiar feeling at this moment, every word of Gu Bei seemed to scratch her itch, and the vague and hazy thoughts and thoughts before became clear at this moment.

"Teachers, the last thing I want to say is that the adaptation of "Journey to the West" is based on being faithful to the original work and being cautious about renovation."

Ooh......

Just now I said that I am young and shallow, and I am a family.

As a result, this young and knowledgeable boy was really welcome, not only did he take the core, fixed his mind, and finally slapped the general direction of the adaptation.

After Gu Bei finished speaking, he sat down quietly, and the big guy's eyes also shifted from his side to Director Yang Jie.

This young man really dares to think and speak, Director Yang, it's time for you to make up your mind next.
