Chapter 3 Are you mentally challenged to write this script?
As the saying goes, under heavy rewards there must be brave men.
After the salary of the entire crew was increased by 30%, no one wanted to run away.
When everyone heard that Han Zhou, who had been tricked into becoming the male lead, became a director and was about to write a new script, they were shocked.
But for the sake of money, I just gritted my teeth and got over it.
Anyway, I won't show it for broadcast after I finish filming it, so it won't be embarrassing.
As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Han Zhou, on the other hand, just started writing the script.
To be honest, Han Zhou didn't like local movies in his previous life, and he didn't watch a few.
Moreover, the local movies that Han Zhou likes are usually about some kind of art, such as shadow puppetry, flower drums and waist drums.
So there aren't many choices.
The only person who can really let a young male protagonist and a young female protagonist come to film is Mr. Hello Tree.
"Mr. Hello Tree" is different from the meaningless rural films made to show poverty and backwardness. Instead, it discusses human nature. This is destined to fail to win awards at major European and American film festivals.
However, small film festivals in China and the United States favored this film and won various awards.
The director used to be the deputy of a famous local film veteran. He learned how to make local films, but he did not make local for the sake of local, but used local to serve the core of the film.
This drama is also known as the pinnacle of the acting skills of the leading actor Wang Best Actor. Many people even think that this is the pinnacle of acting skills in the Chinese film industry.
But having said that, Han Zhou was not prepared to play the role of a tree himself.
Han Zhou still has some self-awareness.
Han Zhou wrote the script there.
Wei Yuan was watching from behind.
Wang Xiya asked Wei Yuan to help read Han Zhou's script and make changes if he could.
Wei Yuan immediately made a request.
"If I help him change it, then don't have my name at the end of the film."
Wang Xiya agreed.
Wei Yuan laughed numbly.
This wave, this wave is called a free wave of screenwriting fees!
However, when Wei Yuan saw Han Zhou's script, he couldn't figure out what the story structure was.
"You can't write, are you writing blindly?"
"Or are you saying that when the story is finished, the clues will be connected?"
Looking at what Han Zhou wrote, Wei Yuan reminded: "It will open on time at eight o'clock on December 18th... Isn't it too outrageous?!"
Han Zhou looked back at Wei Yuan and spread his hands: "That's what I did on purpose."
Deliberately? Wei Yuan was sure that Han Zhou, the boy, must be trying to do something fancy in there. What it was, he really couldn't figure out.
After reading the outrageous suggestions made by Mr. Shu and the mining secretary in the script, Wei Yuan was determined.
"Mr. Tree is crazy."
Han Zhou looked back at Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan patted Han Zhou on the shoulder and said with certainty: "You can still be saved."
…
Wang Xiya was a film and television investor for the first time. After being deceived, she has been very troubled.
She understood that as an investor, no matter whether she interfered in the filming of the movie or not, she should spend her time on the movie.
But the question is, now that the crew and the movie are like this, is it worth the effort?
However, Wang Xiya still followed the supply list given by Han Zhou and personally purchased the props to be prepared.
When Wang Xiya found a small, shabby, old-looking car repair shop sign that had lost its beautiful color due to the sun, and offered to buy the sign.
The owner of the car repair shop felt that Wang Xiya was seriously ill.
When Wang Xiya proposed to make a new sign for the car repair shop owner and subsidized him with a thousand yuan.
The owner of the car repair shop smiled inwardly: The more patients like this the better! There is hope for the economic development of our old industrial zone!
Han Zhou hasn't finished writing the script yet, but he has to prepare a list of materials for the shooting and the requirements for the actors' roles have been handed over to Wang Xiya.
Wang Xiya also followed Han Zhou's requirements seriously, buying things one by one and looking for them one by one.
Now Wang Xiya has come back to her senses.
Even if this movie is not worth looking forward to, you still have to learn how to be an investor.
Consider it a learning experience.
However, Wang Xiya was still stumped by a question.
That is to find the ‘tree’.
"A good actor who looks dull but has superb acting skills and is not academic."
This standard cannot be adjusted directly by Wang Xiya.
Where can I find such a person?
Wang Xiya has been staying in Xiao County these days. Accompanied by An Lan, she frantically purchased as many old furnishings as possible while activating the energy of Tianle Film and Television to find an actor suitable for this role.
Obviously, to no avail.
…
After writing the script, Han Zhou immediately handed it over to Wei Yuan for revision.
I still have to do the soundtrack for two songs.
Now it’s three songs.
After hearing the arrangement of the chorus song, An Lan strongly requested Han Zhou to compose one for herself.
Han Zhou said there would be a fee, and An Lan said you should find a heroine.
Han Zhou said, "Okay, I'll cover the song!"
In fact, it is easy to find actors. The problem is that An Lan was originally invited by himself to do something together.
Now An Lan can't practice singing during this period, which has already caused a lot of losses.
She also signed a contract with the crew. It was because she was the male lead that she signed the contract with the female lead.
Now that he has become a director, there is nothing wrong with kicking An Lan away.
At least there is cooperation and friendship, but it is inappropriate.
Han Zhou had to finish the three songs in his memory in three days.
Fortunately, I had studied music seriously in my previous life, otherwise I would have just become cold and there would be no need to struggle at all.
After receiving the script, Wei Yuan immediately printed several copies of the script.
One share was given to Wang Xiya, one share was given to Chen Dayong, and one share was saved.
I am planning to write and start revising it after reading it.
It started to snow again in the Northeast after nightfall.
In a small town house that was not very warm, Wei Yuan watched, smoked his butt, and was in a daze.
Watch for a while and be in a daze for a while.
Every time after I was in a daze, all that was left of the newly lit cigarette was the butt, which was torture.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the night that I finished reading the script, which was only 30,000 words, and the filming, which was 20,000 words.
After reading it, Wei Yuan was confused, so he cheered up, lit a cigarette, and started reading from the beginning again.
Everyone is doing their own things in their own rooms.
An Lan and Wang Xiya shared a bed in the room with the best environment.
After the two got acquainted, An Lan accompanied Wang Xiya to buy things needed for filming in the county. The relationship was not bad.
So the tea party lasted until late at night.
Wang Xiya: "An'an, do you think Han Zhou is reliable as a director? What he filmed...not to mention being released, can it be produced on CD and released?"
An Lan looked at Wang Xiya: "Didn't you say it won't be released?"
Wang Xiya was unwilling to give in! After being questioned by An Lan, she stopped and said, "I think too much."
An Lan smiled: "Han Zhou doesn't look normal. He always says something that others can't understand."
"For example?" Wang Xiya asked.
An Lan: "For example, after he got to know me, he said something to me. It sounded weird, but it was quite interesting, so I wrote it down."
Wang Xiya was curious.
An Lan: "First there is An Lan and then there is Tian."
Wang Xiya: "???"
An Lan: "The top of the immortals, proud of the world, there will be heaven if I am An Lan."
Wang Xiya: "???"
An Lan: "Even if I, An Lan, carry Tianyuan on my back and hold the Imperial City in one hand, I am still invincible in the world."
Wang Xiya took a deep breath, sucked in the cold air, and immediately shrank into bed, covering her face with the quilt: "Should we find a chance to check him out?"
An Lan: "Psychiatry?"
Wang Xiya: "Otherwise, is it men's medicine?"
The two little sisters who had just met each other smiled at each other and started playing around in bed.
"Oh, you can say this kind of thing."
"Little pervert, annoying~"
"I'll check you out, female department."
"No need!"
"Duck, no need?"
"???"
…
Early in the morning, Chen Dayong and Wei Yuan went to the Northeast to see if it was possible to pee out pillars.
Chen Dayong felt like his body was being hollowed out as the heat left his body.
While sighing: "Do you think that a normal person can write that script?"
"Are you sure Han Zhou is not a psychopath?"
"I thought there was something wrong with Han Zhou. He said weird things every day that we couldn't understand."
Wei Yuan trembled: "Han Zhou is so stupid, he wants to win a prize!"
Chen Dayong looked at Wei Yuan doubtfully.
Wei Yuan lowered his head: "Look, I said he is one of the famous screenwriters in the industry. Now I can't even see the source of water when I lower my head. I haven't even won an award yet."
"This is my first movie, I just want to win an award."
Chen Dayong: "Although the shooting instructions are very detailed and I have a rough idea of what the shots will look like, are you sure that the combination of these weird contents is enough to win an award?"
Wei Yuan: “I don’t know if the story is good or not, and I don’t know if it’s good or not.”
"But he clearly fully explored the three major questions in life, and then used a lot of fancy tricks. These are the favorite things of literary film judges. If it is filmed...it's hard to say whether he will win an award.
"
When the two of them came back after solving the problem, they already felt like they had lost something important.
Who said there are heaters in the north but not cold? Thousands of descendants of you are cheating!
As soon as they returned to the yard, they saw Han Zhou playing and building a snowman in the yard.
Looking at that happy look, it was as if he had never seen snow before.
Half an hour later, when two beautiful beauties, Wang Xiya and An Lan, came out wearing floral cotton-padded jackets, they saw three grown men in military coats working together to shape a pair of snowmen with very artistic value, hazy beauty and abstract art.
Looking at Han Zhou's silly smile, Wang Xiya said: "You said he was stupid or not."
An Lan nodded.
Wang Xiya: "Neer or not?"
An Lan nodded.
Wang Xiya: "Han Zhou!"
Han Zhou stopped with a smile, looked up at Wang Xiya, and threw a snowball at her.
Chen Dayong: "Your uncle! My breasts!"
Under Wei Yuan's gaze, Dayong changed his words: "Xueren'er's breasts..."
Wang Xiya avoided Snowball and looked at Han Zhou: "I really can't find the male protagonist, so you should do it yourself."
Han Zhou: "???"
"Me? I play the role of a tree? I'm so handsome and you want me to play the role of a tree?"
Wang Xiya was confused: "You never mentioned that you were looking for someone ugly?"
"Didn't I mention that?"
"You definitely didn't mention it."
"I really didn't mention it?"
"You never mentioned it!"
"It doesn't matter if I haven't mentioned it before, I won't act!"
Wang Xiya: "Teacher Wei Yuan, how much is the penalty for refusing to act after signing the male lead contract?"
Han Zhou jumped to his feet: "It's just a tree! I'll act!"
"It's not going to be released anyway, so whoever plays it won't act!"
"Don't handsome guys be allowed in our country? What logic! I firmly oppose this kind of behavior of looking at people through colored glasses!"
"With a rural population of 600 million in the country, it makes sense to have a handsome fool!"
