Chapter 510 Who would refuse a man like Shen Fang?(1/3)
"I'm fine! It's just a fuss. You don't need to come see me!"
"Teacher Wu, it would be great to see you are okay."
"Ah, I... thank you for your concern, thank you very much."
After arriving at the hospital, I visited Teacher Wu, but the black-faced old man behaved very calmly.
My mental state is quite good and I don't even want others to mention my illness.
Fang Li was naturally very happy. The man in front of him was also Zhang Yimou's teacher, the person who brought out the National Master. Of course, it was for this reason that he cast himself in his movie.
Therefore, what the movie "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" really values is two people.
One is Shen Fang and the other is Teacher Wu.
Now that Teacher Wu has no problem, Fang Li feels much more at ease.
But Shen Fang was different. After all, he knew what was going on.
Teacher Wu's time is running out.
But can we talk about this?
"Can I have a chat with Teacher Wu alone?"
Shen Fang's words made Fang Li a little strange. After all, although you two are the core of this drama, why do you need to talk alone?
However, Shen Fang is Shen Fang, and if he said so, Fang Li couldn't refuse.
After all, this man surrounded him.
"Okay then, you two can chat slowly."
Fang Li then left the ward with a smile.
When Teacher Wu saw this, an unhappy look appeared on his face, "Teacher Shen, what are you going to say to me?"
Good guy, I just said "Teacher Shen", this title is obviously very problematic.
Shen Fang chuckled, "Teacher Wu, don't call me that. Actually, I just want to say something."
Teacher Wu actually didn't really want to say anything at the moment, especially about the physical aspect.
Therefore, he directly gave Shen Fang the title of teacher, just to embarrass the two of them.
Unfortunately, it has no effect.
"Shall we tell the truth?"
"What truth?"
"Your disease is quite dangerous."
It can be said that Shen Fang made the matter clear directly, and when he said this, the expression on Teacher Wu's face changed several times.
"How did you know?"
Yes, this is definitely something to ask.
Shen Fang came over and said, "Don't worry about how I know it, I just know it anyway."
When he said this, Teacher Wu no longer had any doubts. After all, the other party was a capable man.
So, Teacher Wu frowned, "What do you want to say? Are you not planning to make this film?"
Teacher Wu's worry is very normal. His physical condition is not good, which is actually fatal for the filming of a movie.
The filming of film and television dramas is really intensive.
There is a saying that goes well, just watch the thief eat the meat, not watch the thief get beaten.
This industry does make money, that's true, but the pressure and intensity when working are not as high as usual.
A person who is seriously ill is almost unqualified to hold an important position.
Therefore, according to common sense, if Shen Fang is sure that Teacher Wu’s condition is serious, Shen Fang, as one of the investors and the leading actor, will
It is very likely that this project will be ended, or Mr. Wu's director position will be canceled altogether.
These are things that Teacher Wu never wanted to see, but he never expected that Shen Fang would say this.
"Of course I plan to shoot the film, but there are some things I want to change."
change?
I definitely want to change the script!
Wu Tianming understood it instantly, but for his current situation...
"Shen Fang, are you so good at taking advantage of others' danger?"
That's right, you guys are thinking that my old man is not in good health, and you are forcing me to change the script at this time?
Shen Fang shook his head and nodded again.
What's going on?
Did he learn from Indian Asan?
Of course not. Although even Teacher Wu couldn't understand this move, Shen Fang didn't play riddles.
"I only said this under such circumstances because I was afraid that if I didn't say it, I might not have a chance."
This...isn't right!
How can you say that?
But the interesting thing is that Teacher Wu actually laughed.
"Isn't it a bit shady for you to say that?"
"Teacher Wu, do you think I am that kind of person?"
"We don't know each other very well. I don't know who you are."
"Okay then, I'll simply tell you how I want to change it."
"..."
"My idea is very simple. It is to add something more eye-catching to the whole story, just like the way the story is told... Can we not tell it so straightforwardly? Although I understand that a calmer story telling mode will be more effective. Literary and artistic..."
Shen Fang's eloquent conversation indeed exceeded Teacher Wu's expectations. He really didn't expect that the young man in front of him would be so direct.
Moreover, Shen Fang talked very much.
In terms of the content of the script of "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix", the entire plot is actually relatively flat.
It can be described very simply, this is the growth process of a child learning suona, and in this, it can even be said that the master who teaches suona, that is, the suona craftsman, plays a very, very important role.
This master can even be said to be the male protagonist.
But the whole story is 'straight'.
There are no twists or turns or anything suspenseful.
It started with a child becoming a teacher, and then the suona as an instrument declined. The suona craftsman went from being respected by others to nothing, and finally, the suona craftsman, the master, passed away.
The male protagonist played the song "A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix" at the master's grave.
Shen Fang remembered it very clearly. In the last shot, the name on the master's tombstone was Suona King, Jiao San.
In fact, the suona song in the movie at the end is not "A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix". It is a very sad song, and it is not played even if it is for nothing.
Of course, there were no lines at the end. We just guessed that the male protagonist was playing "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix".
The whole story is very flat, and this so-called "flatness" also has an advantage.
It’s what Shen Fang calls literary and artistic.
The narrative is often bland and the feeling of literature and art is relatively strong.
But Shen Fang feels that this kind of narrative also has certain shortcomings.
That means it’s more difficult to attract the audience’s attention.
This is not nonsense, as literary works also make it very clear.
The text seems to be displeased with mountains.
In terms of narrative, literature and film really have something in common, and the film itself also comes from literature.
It had a lot to do with the fact that such a mediocre story was told, and there were so few films scheduled at that time.
The theater chains are not completely inferior. They can at least roughly determine what kind of movies can make money.
If a film is not commercially viable, it will be difficult for more people to see it.
In fact, everyone understands this truth.
The adaptation proposed by Shen Fang is indeed a bit excessive, and may even make ordinary people think that you are taking advantage of others.
But after he told the details of his thoughts, Teacher Wu savored them carefully, and the expression on his face relaxed.
"Do you think there's a flashback?"
To be continued...
