"Lin Ye, an actor, is very malleable."

Chen Kaige discovered Lin Ye's shining point, and at the same time admired his acting attainments.

"Yes, I have worked with him in Xing Ye's "Mermaid", he is a rare acting school, comedy and drama can be at his fingertips, why, Director Chen wants to find him in the next play?"

Director Tsui Hark asked Director Chen with a smile.

"Not really, I don't plan to make a movie this year."

"Hahaha, Changjin Lake is enough for the three of us to drink a pot, right?"

Chen Kaige undeniably said: "Of course, this drama has only been polished for more than five years, meticulously prepared for more than two years, and more than 70,000 extras have participated in it, which has already shown how difficult it is." ”

What he said is just the tip of the iceberg, in addition to these, "Changjin Lake" actually has super-large-scale costumes, props, and military equipment preparations.

Even the campaign and tactical design in the play was done by historical experts.

At this time, the screenwriter walked over, he handed Director Lin a thick book and said, "It's finished." ”

"It's still so thick after it's changed?"

Lin Chaoxian was surprised.

The first version of the script submitted by the screenwriter had 130,000 words, and now after refinement, there are still 60,000 words?

Then this movie can't be shot for five hours?

"If you delete or delete it, it's best to control it within 30,000 words."

Screenwriter Lan Xiaolong shook his head and refused: "It can't be deleted anymore, just the scenes of the three brothers of the Wu family have been deleted to the scenes of the two brothers Wu Qianli and Wu Wanli, if you delete it again, there can only be one protagonist." ”

"Three directors, you must know that this drama was originally filmed as a group portrait story, and the protagonist is honestly just a perspective to replace the audience, if this perspective is not close enough to the audience's heart, and the audience can't substitute it, then no matter how good the war scenes we shoot, they have nothing to do with the audience!"

Director Chen Kaige nodded in approval of the screenwriter's idea: "If a war movie can't create characters that impress the audience, it will be difficult to succeed." ”

"Because when you don't know why you're fighting or who you're fighting against, neither the creator nor the audience has emotional sustenance."

"If there are no vivid characters, no matter how many war scenes are filmed, the audience may not care too much."

"War movies only make sense when the audience feels that the characters in the film are worth following."

Tsui Hark also nodded: "Director Chen is right, the script can't be deleted anymore, it's a big deal to shoot a little less war scenes, the story and characters must be filmed well!" ”

"Okay, then delete the battle to build the bridge on the Yalu River first?"

Lin Chaoxian asked tentatively.

"Yes."

The screenwriter nodded, feeling that this battle took up too much space, so much that he could reassemble a crew to make a new movie.

"Okay, then it's decided."

At this time, the crew had already put on dinner.

The time also came to eight o'clock in the morning, and everyone went back to the hotel to rest after eating.

At this time, the producer found Lin Ye and wanted him to write an ending song for "Changjin Lake".

Lin Ye was a little surprised, after all, he had never written a war-themed ending song.

Songs with the theme of historical wars, to be honest, there are few people in the Chinese music scene who can get close to it.

So Lin Ye refused at the beginning: "I will write pop songs, I'm afraid I can't write like this." ”

"Try it, we found several musicians, but they couldn't write the flavor they wanted, I know you can not only act, but also write songs, can you try it?"

The producer of "Changjin Lake" is called Yu Dong, who graduated from the Kyoto Film Academy and is also the founder, chairman and general manager of Bona Film Group.

At the same time, he is also the vice chairman of the Chinese Film Association, the vice chairman of the Huaxia Film Foundation, and the vice chairman of the Kyoto Film Association.

With so many titles on his body, Lin Ye was not easy to refute his face, so he reluctantly agreed: "Okay, then I'll give it a try." ”

"Don't worry, as long as you can write it to the satisfaction of the old man and the old lady over there, this movie will definitely pass the review."

"Does this have anything to do with passing the trial?" Lin Ye was surprised.

"You don't understand this, of course it's related."

Yu Dong began to tell Lin Ye about it.

"Do you know who is reviewing our Chinese movies?"

“GD？”

"It's radio and television, yes, but it's mainly the group of old men and old ladies, and a few of them can decide what the audience in China can and can't watch."

"The movie is a little better, but the TV series is miserable, do you know why idol dramas and soap operas are so popular? Because most of those old men and old ladies who were born in the feudal era were not satisfied with their love, and they had never even experienced what love was like, so they liked to watch these TV series where these domineering presidents fell in love with me. ”

Lin Ye suddenly realized: "Hahaha, it's really interesting." ”

"So, you have to write a song that pleases them, they really won't necessarily watch the movie carefully, and if the ending song is good, they will let the movie pass the review!"

Lin Ye really didn't expect that the film industry would run like this!

It's been a long time.

But the difficulty is, how would Lin Ye know what kind of song would please them?

"You can write with confidence, the price is not a problem."

As soon as Lin Ye wanted to talk about the price, Yu Dong took the initiative to interrupt and said, "One hundred million, you can just write." ”

Unexpectedly, Yu Dong actually inquired about the market price of his songs.

Lin Ye's heart: Damn!

I, Lin Ye, am I the kind of person who sees money and has an eye for money?

You said it would be nice to give me 100 million!

Do you need to go around and talk so much!

I have to say, Yu Dong, you are really accurate in looking at people!

"No problem, I'll try to write it well."

"How long will it take to get a song?"

Lin Ye thought for a while, this time he didn't have a song that could be paired with "Changjin Lake" in his mind so far, so he really didn't dare to guarantee the time this time.

So, he said a conservative time to sing: "Before the movie is finished." ”

"Okay, then you write slowly, don't be in a hurry."

"Okay, thank you Dong Yu for your appreciation."

……

acted in a movie and only earned 5 million, but because of participating in the movie, he got an additional 100 million song writing orders.

This was a surprise for Lin Ye.

After Zhao Liying learned the news, she was happier than Lin Ye.

It's just that today I said that I had her role, but I was patting and patting, and I haven't filmed her appearance yet.

Lin Ye estimated that he would have to wait a little longer.

"Don't be in a hurry to film, help me think about it first, how should the ending song of the movie "Changjin Lake" be written?"

Lin Ye is particularly concerned about this 100 million song writing order, after all, this money comes quickly.

"I can't write songs, it's useless for you to ask me......"

Zhao Liying said helplessly.

"Intuition, I'm not asking about music, I need your intuition, and you can give me advice based on your intuition."

Lin Ye actually wants to ask his own advice when writing songs, it seems that my status is still quite important in his heart?

After all, this is a business of 100 million!

Zhao Liying's heart was overjoyed, and she immediately thought about it with great interest, and wanted to give more of her own suggestions for Lin Ye to hear.
