Chapter 364: Escape from the British Museum
Su Zhe just glanced at the discussion on Weibo, and didn't bother to respond.
Because he was still busy writing the script on the way home by car.
He was moved by Shi Dequan's insistence, and he was even more angry by the British Museum's arrogance towards Chinese cultural relics.
This reminded Su Zhe of the online short drama he watched in his previous life-
Escape from the British Museum.
This is a short film shot by the UP master pancake fruit boy and his summer sister, which tells the story of a Chinese twig-patterned thin jade pot that escaped from the British Museum, incarnated into a cute girl, met a Chinese media person working overseas, and then the two embarked on the road home together.
The plot is simple, but the emotions contained are very moving, and the small jade pot carries a letterhead from the British Museum's collection, telling the homesickness of the cultural relics longing to return home, which makes people cry.
Compared with "Blue and White Porcelain", which has been over-interpreted by fans in this life, this is a standard metaphor, full of family and country feelings.
At this time, there are only a dozen days before the broadcast of "National Treasure Season", can this short drama be filmed?
Su Zhe pondered:
"It's very simple to shoot, there are only two main characters, that is, the location is going to the UK, so it should be no problem."
He immediately made a decision - shoot! Be sure to shoot!
As for casting, he thought of the cute style of the heroine in his previous life, and immediately thought of Liu Heluo:
"Cute wind? Heluo is the first cute in the world! and condemned her ......"
But he paused and muttered:
"It would be even better if this short drama could become popular abroad."
Jia Xin drove the car and complained:
"Boss, you said that the short play is called "Escape from the British Museum", how can foreigners like it?"
Su Zhe raised his eyebrows:
"Foreign countries are not only Western countries! Egypt, Chile, Ethiopia and other countries have all been robbed of cultural relics by the British and have been demanding their return, don't they like to see it? And only talking about Western countries, it is not monolithic, there are also white leftists. ”
Jia Xin suddenly realized:
"That's right! It's still an old brain, uniting the majority. ”
Su Zhe smiled and thought to himself, although "Escape from the British Museum" was very popular in China in his previous life, he did not go out.
This is also normal, this kind of theme is difficult to go out, even Su Zhe can't guarantee it, so the best way is-
Stars please!
I have to admit that star stardom can increase publicity and let more people know, otherwise capital will not blindly superstitious traffic.
And the star of the fire abroad -
Su Zhe only thought of one person:
"Wu Peipei! With more than 10 million overseas fans, he deserves to be the No. 1 Internet celebrity in China! ”
(Domestically, she's a star; But abroad, she is an internet celebrity. )
It just so happened that Sun Mei and others were still filming the [Huang Rong Series] video, and even the crew was ready-made.
Su Zhe directly picked up the phone and contacted Sun Mei:
"Director Sun, I'll send you a script now, and you get ready for shooting and design the shots. I'll be there tomorrow and shoot with Pepe. ”
Sun Mei thought it was still a short video of [Huang Rong series], and happily agreed.
Su Zhe added:
"By the way, we're going to go abroad, and we're going to the British Museum to shoot some exterior shots."
"It's so big?" Sun Mei was a little surprised.
"After reading the script, you will understand."
Su Zhe hung up the phone, and after sending the script, he immediately contacted Yan Xiling:
"Sister Yan, help me book a plane ticket in five days, I, Wu Peipei, Sun Mei and the crew will go to the UK to shoot locations together."
Yan Xiling didn't know why Su Zhe suddenly filmed the location, she didn't remember this itinerary, and thought it was [Huang Rong series], so she persuaded:
"Su Zhe, let's go to the UK next month, you have to hurry up the rehearsal, the Spring Festival Gala selection is almost time."
There is still half a month left in the Spring Festival Gala selection, but Su Zhe has not decided on a sketch actor until now, if he doesn't hurry up the rehearsal, how can he participate in the selection?
Su Zhe was stunned for a moment, calculated the time, and found that he could only choose one-
either shoot "Escape" and be able to catch up with the broadcast of the show;
or rehearse sketches and be able to catch up with the Spring Festival Gala selection.
From a utilitarian point of view, the Spring Festival Gala is definitely more important than a variety show.
It can even be said that filming this kind of short drama is no longer of much benefit to Su Zhe today. He is not a small Internet celebrity, and he can become famous overnight with a short drama.
And even if he misses the broadcast of "National Treasure Season", he can shoot slowly and release it directly on the Internet!
But:
"Sister Yan, I'm going to shoot "Escape from the British Museum", which is more meaningful."
Su Zhe wants to shoot it, wants to move more people, wants to attract more attention, and wants to give the national treasure a little help to go home like Shi Dequan said.
After Yan Xiling heard what he thought, although she felt a headache, she didn't persuade her, and sighed:
"Forget it, I'll apologize to Director Zhu Jun, the sketch can only postpone the audition, but you have to prepare at least one song to participate in the audition."
"Don't worry." Su Zhe immediately packed the ticket, "It's not easy to write a song?" I gave him a song that was nice and positive. ”
……
The next day, Su Zhe came to the [Huang Rong] short video crew.
He was still hesitating, how to face Wu Peipei's love debt, but he didn't expect that everything would be as usual after the other party saw him, chattering about how popular he was overseas.
With her attitude, it stands to reason that Su Zhe should breathe a sigh of relief, and he didn't have to try his best to make her happy, and he felt that he owed her in his heart.
But for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong:
If she thinks so openly, won't she be sad and regretful?
You have to be sad for a while to lose a dog, let alone a man like me?
- Man!
Su Zhe tried hard to correct his mentality, and talked and laughed with Wu Peipei, but he didn't show it at all.
After reminiscing, Sun Mei came over, took the script and the storyboard script she designed overnight, and praised:
"Mr. Su, you are so powerful, I want to cry when I see the script, and it will definitely be a big hit if you shoot it!"
Su Zhe said lightly:
"I won the award, and the inspiration generated by participating in the show, maybe this is what the cultural relics want to say through my mouth."
Su Mei gave a thumbs up, but she was not good at sycophants, and immediately began to discuss the script:
"Mr. Su, I don't have any other questions, but I checked, the heroine is a Chinese twig-patterned thin-tire jade pot, which is not a cultural relic, but a collection of modern handicrafts."
Su Zhe nodded, some people pointed out this problem in his previous life, thinking that there was a bug.
However, with such an important setting as the heroine's identity, it is impossible for such a big mistake to occur, at least Baidu must be made in advance.
Because this is exactly the ingenuity of the creator -
The small jade pot is a modern handicraft, so she can easily escape and remember the way home.
She is the youngest in the museum, bringing home distant greetings for those who can't go home.
After Su Zhe said these thoughts, Sun Mei felt extremely amazed:
"It's so ingenious! It's my team that has an axe, and I'm worried that you're writing too quickly and making mistakes. ”
"Don't kill me, I'm sure I'll have problems, let's improve together." Su Zhe hurriedly waved his hand, although he insisted on his opinion, he didn't want to be a tyrant on the set.
Sun Mei nodded, thought for a moment, and then ran back and asked:
"Mr. Su, since the identity of the heroine is to be set as a modern industrial product, why don't you just use the upcoming "Lanting Collection Preface" (Su Zhe's facsimile)?"
Su Zhe scratched his head:
Because that's how the original show was written!
Sun Mei was very excited:
"I read the Forbidden City Weibo, and the facsimile of Ling was about to go to the British Museum for a period of time, and she happened to be transformed into a girl and returned to China with the letters of the cultural relics. By the way, calligraphy with letters, how suitable! Better than jade pots. ”
Su Zhe was a little moved, but also a little embarrassed:
"Huh? But some lines are related to the small jade pot. ”
"It's done." Sun Mei said excitedly, "There is not much content, and it will be changed quickly." ”
Su Zhe: ......
Where are you going to let me change it?!
In fact, "I am familiar with 300 Tang poems, and I can't compose poems", he copied the script for so long, and it was no problem to change the script.
But he was really a little uneasy about himself, and hesitated:
"Or forget it?"
Sun Mei glanced at Wu Peipei, didn't know what she had misunderstood, and suddenly realized:
"Mr. Sun, you're busy, why don't I change it! It's not as good as you, but you can still change a few lines. ”
Sun Mei smiled and left, while Wu Peipei naturally leaned on Su Zhe on the side.
Su Zhe's body stiffened, and he felt that something was wrong.
It wasn't until Wu Peipei hugged him that Su Zhe reacted and said helplessly:
"Pepe, I have a girlfriend, and it's been officially announced."
Wu Peipei replied very calmly: "I know, but I won't give it to anyone." ”
Su Zhe really didn't expect this, he always felt that Wu Peipei was the least likely to be a junior.
Wu Peipei sighed slowly: "I used to think that a man is a fart? It's impossible for me to rob a man, let alone betray my best friend. Even at that time, I decided to give you to Liu Heluo......"
She showed a hint of a smile, thinking of the memory of Su Zhe running to her house to persuade her:
"But when you bring me back, I won't give it to anyone again. Whether it's friends, morality, or public opinion, I don't care anymore. ”
Su Zhe looked at her in a daze, he didn't expect her to have such a mental journey.
Wu Peipei sneered:
"I used to scold Qiao Wenjun (Xue Baochai) for being a love brain, but I didn't expect that I was even more irrational than her. That's right, Lin Daiyu is more willful than Xue Baochai, as it should be, and the casting is really right. ”
Su Zhe didn't know what to say.
From a moral point of view, Wu Peipei's approach is wrong and should be condemned.
If these words are leaked to the Internet, just wait to be scolded to death!
But Su Zhe always remembered what a face-saving girl Wu Peipei was, and she almost quit the circle without even thinking about it.
He also always remembered how much Wu Peipei valued his friends, even if he was wronged and hurt by his friends, he couldn't bear to fight back.
But Wu Peipei, who values face and friends, and has an excellent same-sex relationship, looked at Su Zhe firmly:
"As long as I can be with you, I don't care about that."
Looking at the affection in her eyes, who can push her away?
Su Zhe covered his face:
"You're all good girls, it's all my fault!"
Wu Peipei didn't embarrass him, let go of the hands that hugged him, stood up, and said open-mindedly:
"Su Zhe, don't be so entangled, this is not you. Actually, you're pretty attractive at all, hehe. ”
"By the way, let me tell you, there have been a lot of overseas media interviews with me recently, maybe I will appear on the cover of "People" before you......"
She chattered again.
Su Zhe scratched his head and simply didn't want to:
"Yes, the relationship is too complicated, it's better to have a simple career, let's make a short drama!"
Sun Mei quickly finished changing the script, and Su Zhe read it again, and he didn't lose the original version at all, and couldn't help but sigh:
"It's a genius that I discovered."
Sun Mei looked embarrassed:
"Mr. Su, who dares to say genius in front of you?"
Su Zhe scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.
And Wu Peipei was on the side, proudly said:
"Now it's said on the Internet, there is a total of one stone in the world's talents, Su Zhe, you have eight buckets! If geniuses are also graded, you are the superlative! Some people think that you are wasting your talent now, and if you focus on physics, you will be after Newton and Einstein! ……”
She said the comments of netizens, and her pride was about to overflow.
The more Su Zhe listened, the more embarrassed he became:
"How can it be so exaggerated, Newton and Einstein? I was good at physics in high school, but I didn't study physics in college, which was so annoying! ”
What he said was true, he only gained high school physics skills, let alone become a physicist, and if there were physics courses in his college major, he was likely to fail.
But no one believed the truth.
Su Zhe's performance is a peerless genius, so there are really people on the Internet calling for him to stop being a star, go to be a scientist, and contribute his intelligence to the future of mankind and the universe.
"Don't talk about that, let's talk about the skit first."
Su Zhe hurriedly interrupted Wu Peipei and avoided this awkward topic.
Sun Mei continued:
"But because the identity of the heroine has changed, the originally selected costumes have to be changed together."
The heroine turned out to be a small green jade pot, so the costume was also a green costume; Now that it has become calligraphy, it is natural to change to black and white Hanfu.
Su Zhe reminded:
"Only black and white are too mournful, just add a touch of red embellishment, anyway, the seal is red."
The crew immediately sprang into action and began to prepare costumes, etc.
When you're ready, you're ready to shoot, anyway, it's a short drama, it's not demanding, and it's fast.
In China, they mainly shoot the plot of returning to China and living together.
The cohabitation plot takes place in the UK, but anyway, it is indoors, and it can be filmed in China, so as to avoid them from filming in the UK, where they are not familiar with their lives.
Speaking of being unfamiliar with his life, Su Zhe contacted Shi Dequan in advance and told him that he was going to the British Museum to shoot, hoping that he could use his connections to coordinate.
Only then did Shi Dequan know that the new work promised by Su Zhe was not a new song, but a short film, and he was surprised:
"Short films? By the way, I almost forgot, but you're still a very good screenwriter and actor! ”
He doesn't know much about the entertainment industry, but he has also heard of Su Zhe and knows some of his great achievements, and said with emotion:
"This is what I should do! By the way, what is the name of the short film you want to make? ”
"Escape from the British Museum." Su Zhe replied.
Shi Dequan paused for a moment and asked hesitantly:
"Are you sure you're going to make a short film and have no other ideas?"
He thought of the barrage that went to the British Museum to "retrieve" the artifacts and hand them over to the state.
Su Zhe: ......
Do you think I'm like a fool?
