After finishing the meal, we then began the most well-organized script reading of the entire crew so far.
The main purpose is to talk about the director and the actors’ understanding of the script and to deepen the emotions of the characters they assume.
The movie "Heartbeat" adopts a unique narrative technique, using the dual subjective perspectives of the male and female protagonists to narrate the plot that happened in the same time and space alternately through the different perspectives of the two.
It intersperses various interesting stories that happened during the growth of the two protagonists to tell the story of the two people from meeting to falling in love, and presents the growth process of a boy and girl from multiple perspectives.
Back to the plot of "Thumping Heartbeat".
Everything started in the summer of the millennium. The male protagonist Lu Mingxuan and his family moved to a strange town and started a new life. Here he met the little girl next door and the heroine Zhu Li. Zhu Li and Lu Mingxuan met.
On the first day, he showed extraordinary enthusiasm, almost as if he wanted to help Lu Mingxuan move.
Lu Mingxuan's father rejected the little girl who looked cute but had a carefree personality, and saw through Zhu Li's intentions, so he asked Lu Mingxuan to help his mother. In fact, he asked him to lure Zhu Li away.
Facts have proved that Lu Mingxuan's father was right. After Lu Mingxuan left the truck, Zhu Li followed him in a hurry. During the chase, the hands of the two children accidentally touched each other. Lu Mingxuan felt shy, like a little kid.
She hid behind her mother like a girl.
When he went to the new school the next day, he didn't expect that Zhu Li was his classmate. As soon as he met Zhu Li, she enthusiastically gave Lu Mingxuan a big hug, and then pinched Lu Mingxuan like a little tail, and soon
They became a young couple in the eyes of their classmates, which made Lu Mingxuan often teased and ridiculed by his friends.
In the blink of an eye, she came to the first year of high school, and Lu Mingxuan finally couldn't bear Zhu Li's offensive. In order to get rid of Zhu Li, she chose to launch an offensive against the school beauty Xia Xun, hoping that Zhu Li would retreat in spite of the difficulties. Thanks to her outstanding appearance, she pursued the school beauty
The progress and results are pretty good.
Until Lu Mingxuan found out that his best friend also liked the school beauty. In order to get the school beauty to break up with Lu Mingxuan, he revealed all of Lu Mingxuan's plans to the school beauty without moral character. In fact, Lu Mingxuan had no interest in her at all and just wanted to use her to avoid Zhu Li's entanglement.
.
So with the crisp applause from the angry school belle, Lu Mingxuan's plan to use someone else to get rid of Zhu Li failed completely. Depressed, he could only settle down and study seriously, hoping that next year when the arts and sciences are separated, the classes can be re-divided to get rid of Zhu Li.
Li's entanglement.
Then switch to the heroine's perspective.
In the summer of the new millennium, when Zhu Li was playing on the street near her home, her heart skipped a beat when she saw Lu Mingxuan who had moved here. Especially when they held hands, she felt that her heart was about to jump out.
, she felt that Lu Mingxuan must like her, but he was too shy to express it.
So after learning that Lu Mingxuan was assigned to the same class as herself, she would have varying degrees of intimate contact with Lu Mingxuan intentionally or unintentionally every day.
After entering high school, Zhu Li still liked Lu Mingxuan very much, but her behavior had restrained.
But when she saw Lu Mingxuan and the school beauty walking together every day, although she felt very uncomfortable, Zhu Li still felt that the school beauty and Lu Mingxuan would break up in the near future, because she thought the school beauty was just a whiner and a gossiper.
Frivolous girls, although very beautiful, are just superficial and not worth dating.
A week later, Lu Mingxuan broke up with the school beauty, and Zhu Li fell in love with Lu Mingxuan even more because of this.
Unfortunately, Lu Mingxuan never had feelings for her, so after experiencing a series of events that discredited her, Zhu Li began to feel that Lu Mingxuan's beautiful eyes might be as empty as his own heart.
Then comes the most important twist in "Heartbeat", which is the plot where Lu Mingxuan pursues Julie.
Grandpa took Lu Mingxuan out for a walk and came to the cut down sycamore tree. Grandpa said that the scenery above the sycamore tree must be very beautiful, and said that Zhu Li was actually a very nice girl. Then he told Lu Mingxuan:
Some of us are dull, some are colorful, and some are radiant, but occasionally you meet someone colorful, and when you do meet that person, nothing else matters.
Hearing this, Lu Mingxuan fell into deep thought. He had always thought that Julie was ordinary, but now he felt that Julie was a little different. This feeling made him feel uneasy.
So Lu Mingxuan began to care about Zhu Li involuntarily at school. Throughout the afternoon, Lu Mingxuan was thinking about other people's opinions of Zhu Li. In the end, Lu Mingxuan discovered that they only focused on the surface and did not understand the inner meaning.
So now Lu Mingxuan no longer cares about other people's opinions, because he knows that he has fallen in love with Zhu Li.
The ending of the story is also very happy. Lu Mingxuan came to Zhu Li's yard and planted a sycamore tree sapling with her, because Lu Mingxuan knew that this was Zhu Li's favorite tree, and it was also to fill her heart and accompany her throughout her childhood.
The plane trees were cut down with regret.
If there is any difference between the new version of "Pumping Heart" that Lin Qingyuan saw in this life compared to the version in the original time and space, in fact, some changes were made in the details to conform to the actual social situation and humanistic culture at that time, so this
The essential core of the movie that most touches the audience has also been well preserved.
Not to mention the explosive reputation of "The Original Time" and the exaggerated score of 9.1 on Douban, which is rated by more than one million people. It is worth mentioning that Shunji Iwai's pure love masterpiece "Love Letter" only has a score of 8.9 on Douban.
Lin Qingyuan feels that as long as the version he starred in can exceed 8 points, it will be very good. After all, domestic love movies that can exceed 9 points can be counted on one hand, and Douban netizens are indeed good at scoring.
Be stricter on domestic films...
As for the movie box office, Lin Qingyuan does not have particularly high requirements.
Because youth-themed movies tend to be relatively weak in collecting theater box office, and the potential audience in the market is relatively limited, so as long as the capital is guaranteed and investors can make a profit.
After all, romance movies don’t have the powerful appeal and influence that comedies do to make a whole family buy tickets and go to the cinema.
Back to the topic.
In fact, the main creative staff involved in this movie are basically familiar with these plot outlines.
So today's script reading meeting, which is the most well-organized group of people, can only be regarded as a session where everyone gets to know each other and reviews the script again.
And after tomorrow's opening ceremony, the filming of the movie will officially begin.
Han Yan attaches great importance to this movie.
Because in this "Heartbeat", there is absolutely no nonsense or strange plot development. The story is very pure, which makes him, a middle-aged uncle, feel like he has been healed by love thirty years ago.
After all, who wouldn’t like the pure love that exists only between young people?
Therefore, even if he is limited by the subject matter and cannot get a high box office, as long as he can make this movie well, Han Yan will actually be very satisfied.
