After a while, Zhang Yimou came back to his senses, looked at the two and asked, "Finished reading?" ”

"I'm done." Chen Shuo and the others nodded.

"How does it feel?"

Chen Shuo and Yu Bo glanced at each other, and groaned for a while, not knowing what to say.

It's not just Chen Shuo who feels that there is something wrong with the script, but so does Yu Bo.

But he has few scenes, basically only the first few scenes.

He didn't know if he should talk more.

And Chen Shuo felt that if he said too much, would it not be good.

Zhang Yimou knew the concerns in the hearts of the two as soon as he saw the looks of the two, and said seriously: "You two don't have any worries.

In fact, before this, we found some well-known writers, directors, and screenwriters to read this script.

With the exception of one of them, who expressed some agreement, the others were outright and outright negative.

So you can say whatever you want. ”

Yu Bo pondered for a while and said: "I'm not a professional in script writing, so I'll talk about it from the perspective of an audience." ”

"Yes, it's a different perspective." Zhang Yimou's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Although he thought about not continuing to work behind closed doors, based on industry habits, the people he looked for to read the script were professionals.

I never thought of looking for some layman viewers to take a look.

This movie is made to show the audience.

If you can know the audience's opinions in advance, the script must be more in line with the audience's preferences.

"Although it is said from the perspective of the audience, I watched it with the characters after all.

After watching it, I feel that King Qi's role is a little inappropriate.

Maybe Director Zhang revised the script with reference to our performance in the last interview, so that King Qi and the blind girl had a fight.

But the king of a country has super high skills, and can calmly resist the assassin's stab attack and counter it.

It always feels like it's a little too deliberate. ”

Wang Bin nodded and said, "It's really a problem, do you have any suggestions for improvement?" ”

"One is to directly hand over the task of fighting the blind girl to others.

But there is also a problem.

If this scene wants to be exciting, it can only be an offensive and defensive exchange between two people at a moment's notice.

If it is suppressed by a large number of samurai, this effect will be lost.

The identity of the king of Qi is not suitable, and there are only two people left who are suitable for fighting with the blind girl, the father and the son.

It's just that this assassination was planned by his father, and he came to stop the contradiction.

And after the son follows the wind, he has to walk with the blind girl all the way, and at this time, when he goes with the follow-up, he can't find his problem, and it's not reasonable. ”

"And the second?" Li Feng asked.

"The second is to lower the status of King Qi and set it up as the kind of military personnel who are in key positions on the front line.

In this way, it is plausible that he was assassinated by a blind woman, and then captured by thunderous means.

However, in this way, it seems to destroy the conspiracy pattern of the entire script. ”

There are two solutions to a problem, and these two solutions have their own problems that need to be solved.

Wang Bin couldn't help but feel a little headache, the problems in front of him have not been solved, and there are a lot of problems in the back.

I couldn't think of a solution for a while, so he simply didn't bother with it at this time, and asked Chen Shuo, "What's the problem here?" ”

Zhang Yimou, Yu Bo and others also looked at Chen Shuo, wanting to hear what he thought.

Chen Shuo paused and said tentatively: "What if I say that there is a serious logical loophole in this script? ”

Zhang Yimou and the others didn't think there was anything excessive about what he said, and they had heard even more excessive words.

"What loophole did you say?"

"Father's bad and conspiracy seems too thin, as if he is only bad for the sake of evil, and creates conspiracy for the sake of creating conspiracy.

There is no deep inner support.

The character of the second sister is also too thin.

And her presence also undermines the rigor of the story.

Since she is her father's undercover agent, she is still the second-in-command of the Flying Knife Gate.

That father can completely borrow her to deal with the eldest sister and hold the power of the Flying Knife Gate in his hands.

It is too much to prepare for this conspiracy to destroy the Flying Knife Gate.

And the story of Suifeng and Willow Leaf is also as vain as a castle in the air, and there is no basis for existence. ”

Zhang Yimou heard it, okay, another one who uprooted his script, and it was also the actor he chose.

"And what about your solution?"

"I'm not a professional scriptwriter, but I think since this script is full of loopholes, I should just jump out.

Take out a single character and reconstruct a scene.

Then buckle the subject and write a biography from the perspective of each character.

When all the characters come together naturally, then the story will naturally come out. ”

Zhang Yimou listened to it and felt that this was also an effective method.

If you really want to be able to portray several characters with distinct personalities, set a goal for them, and then put them in a suitable situation, you will definitely be able to collide with different sparks.

It's just that this method almost abandoned the previous creative methods of him, Wang Bin and Li Feng.

Recreating the script from an angle they were unfamiliar with would be difficult to achieve in a short period of time.

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Chen Shuo also knew that this method might not be acceptable to them.

He added, "If you don't want to overturn and recreate, then find out the problems one by one and implement them."

Present a complete and logically consistent story as much as possible. ”

The three of them thought about it, and this was feasible.

Li Feng suddenly said: "If you want me to say, let's just remove the element of the palace."

Then he changed the identities of his father, King Qi, and Suifeng and let them fall to the ground.

In this way, it can not only solve the problems that Chen Shuo and Yu Bo said.

At the same time, it can also solve the problem that Zhou Jingzhi said, the characters are superficial. ”

"How did you fall to the ground?" Wang Bin asked.

Li Feng said: "After removing the palace, the six main characters can be divided into two opposing camps.

For example, simple officers and thieves.

Yes, you can do that!

The Flying Knife Gate is a rebellion organization, and the government wants to arrest them.

At the same time, the Flying Knife Gate also wants to fight back against the government.

In this way, the tone of the whole story is not so high-minded, and it does not seem so empty.

At the beginning of the story, the blind girl goes to assassinate the chief catcher who is in charge of chasing the Flying Knife Gate.

After being caught, the chief catcher sent Sui Feng to rescue him in order to find the trace of the Flying Knife Gate.

The goal is to gain its trust, find the location of the Throwing Knife Gate, and prepare to capture it all in one place.

The love between the two of them remains the same, and the plot doesn't need to change much.

Similarly, if the main line of the 'conspiracy' is detained, the Flying Knife Gate should also have its internal response in the government.

And this person is the role of the father.

He and Sui Feng Ming were in accordance with the instructions of the head of the headquarters to eradicate the flying knife door.

In fact, it is just a plan, preparing to introduce the power of the government into the encirclement and kill it.

Eradicate the living forces of the government. ”
