Cheng Er is still at work in the future, and the movie "The Third Man" is enough for him to spend several years of his old capital. The key is that he is quite calm, not that if the first feature film is successful, he has to strike while the iron is hot. On the contrary,
, He rejected many olive branches from film companies. In his words, he only wanted to make his own movies, but he had no inspiration for a while.
The preparation team for "Purple Butterfly" is on the second floor of another small building. Li Tang is very familiar with it. When filming "Shanghai Chronicles", the audition and script reading were all on the second floor of this small building.
Shanghai Film Studio attaches great importance to the cooperation with Lou Ye. Since Mr. Xie Jin officially announced his retirement after filming "Opium War", Shanghai Film Studio has faced a situation where the director is in disguise. The so-called fifth-generation director Peng Xiaolian, Zhang Jianya and others, after
Practice proves that they are still almost done.
The only other ones are Zhang Yimou, Director Chen and Feng Xiaogang, who emerged from the New Year film, but these people are basically "famous flowers have their masters". Zhang Yimou is deeply bound to the new picture, Director Chen is a person from China Film
Needless to say, Feng Xiaogang has long been the signature of Huayi Brothers.
Shanghai Film Studio can only pick and choose from the sixth generation of directors. At the beginning, Chief Jia, whom they liked, also carried out a series of good cooperation. Unfortunately, Chief Jia's second feature film "Standup" was in the initial review stage of the script.
He was beaten back by the Film Bureau and could not pass the cooperation. He could only have a miscarriage, while Chief Jia continued to follow his underground movie path.
Then Shanghai Film Studio aimed at Lou Ye again, and it hit it off, but there were many good things. The script of "The Summer Palace" that Lou Ye took out for the first time was not even needed to be submitted for review, and the internal review of the factory was passed.
.Involving sensitive events, this is an untouchable high-voltage red line.
Fortunately, Lou Ye took out the script of "Purple Butterfly", which was anti-Japanese theme. Although it blurred the faction, it was still positive and passed the initial review of the script without any danger.
Although some of the investments of more than 30 million yuan were invested by French TV 3, it is obvious that Shanghai Film Studio has placed a heavy bet on Lou Ye this time.
"Hey, Miss Zhang, Happy New Year!"
As soon as Li Tang went up the second floor, he ran into Lou Ye's assistant Zhang Rong. This girl was one year younger than Li Tang. She failed to get the director's department of Beijing Television, which she had taken for two years. Later, she went to the advanced training class of the director's department.
As the director assistant, I filmed the documentary "Digital City" that was not completed in the end. Later, I spent several years in Beijing but did not improve much, and this time I was resummoned by Lou Ye to his subordinates.
This bottle of perfume was prepared by my ex-girlfriend. It is not worth a lot, just a few hundred yuan gadgets, so it will not be abrupt. If you ask for help, you must always express your gratitude. Even if you fail, you can make a good relationship.
Most children with good life rarely endure so much. After all, the imperial examination system has long disappeared, and studying is no longer the only way to become an official. This is the case with the original grandfather. It was already very good to graduate from middle school, and in the end it was also
Only the family business can be inherited and the local owner can be continued.
Those who can travel to Shanghai and get a decent job in a foreign company are promising people.
For Lao Li, it is also a kind of memory. After all, his ancestors were rich, but he was born at the wrong time and never enjoyed it. He was even implicated. He suffered a lot since he became sensible.
It took more than ten years for a kid's hat to be buckled.
Because in that era, telephone companies were definitely considered high-tech companies, and in Shanghai, companies were often monopolized by foreigners. There is no doubt that the company address is available in the French Concession and the public Concession. As a manual operator, you must know some foreign languages.
, Smart and good memory are qualities that manual operators must possess.
Sister Ma is very enthusiastic. She knows that the two families are family-friendly and have different relationships. Moreover, when she and Lou Ye got married, they did not have a big feast. They just had relatives and friends gathered together, and her in-laws specially invited Li Tang’s father, Li Guoqing.
Only by fully exploring the character's growth process can the character be displayed vividly, rather than just reading the script and reading it.
Lou Ye got married last year, and his wife is the sister Ma in Zhang Rong's mouth. They are about the same age, and they are from Beijing, graduated from Beijing, which is now the director department of Communication University. Later, they studied abroad and went to Berlin, Germany.
He studied film director major in college and filmed several documentaries after returning to China.
Speaking of which, he is not familiar with this sister Ma, but he met him in a hurry when he went to my uncle's house to deliver New Year's goods. He had a square face, high cheekbones, and thin lips. At first glance, this person seemed quite powerful, and his face was very good.
He was a little mean, but he was very enthusiastic and polite when dealing with people. He spoke very nicely while talking about Beijing movies.
"Are you not afraid of future demolition?"
Zhang Rong knew it and happily put the perfume into his pocket. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already given the resume to the director, and the director hasn't said anything for the time being."
Situ was obviously better than his original grandfather. Later, he went to a new middle school and was likely to be admitted to a university in Shanghai. He could speak English. Only in this way could he find a decent job in a foreign company and be able to wear a suit and tie.
The reason is very simple. His understanding of the character Situ was that he came from a landlord family around Shanghai, and he also had a bit of a scholarly family. In this regard, he used his original grandfather as a reference, because the scholarly family could
The tradition of reading.
"Wow, Lancome!"
Children who grew up with this background are generally sensitive to their minds, and at the same time, they choose to study hard in order to get rid of their original family. In that era, they were no different from being admitted to a scholar; when they were admitted to a university, they were almost the same as being admitted to a juren.
Although "Purple Butterfly" was a screenwriter work by Lou Ye in his early days, since she joined the creative team, she has repeatedly revised the script with Lou Ye, and has a deep understanding of the script, which has resonated particularly.
At the same time, referring to the background of the times, Situ should have been born around 1910. At the age of entering school, the Republic of China had few new primary schools, and more were private schools. The reason why private schools were emphasized was because Situ later
In various events, he did not choose to be a traitor but resolutely resisted. Although there was a lot of helplessness from it, more importantly, he still had a sense of family and country, loyalty, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness. These are the traditions of Confucian private school education.
"Why do you emphasize that Situ went to a private school when he was a child?"
Moreover, in that era when women rarely had suitable jobs, the telephone company operator was definitely considered a golden collar, which was more popular than the nurse who received medicine and injections, which also determined the family environment of Yiling.
He had full confidence in this biography of characters, including the ones he had just explained. On the one hand, he knew Situ's era and origins well. In the memory of his original body, Lao Li told him a lot when he was a child.
The story of the grandpa I've never met.
As soon as Li Tang finished speaking, Sister Ma took the lead in clapping her hands and said in surprise: "Li Tang, the analysis is so accurate. You show a vivid Situ. I can hear the picture."
"Okay, thank you! Oh, the director is here?"
Lou Ye read it very carefully, and he read it for more than 10,000 words for more than twenty minutes.
"This is determined by the background of the times and family environment, and of course it also combines what Situ experienced later..."
"Oh, thank you sister-in-law!"
Naian looked at him with a smile as usual and said, "How is the boss doing? I heard you are getting bigger now!"
"Brother Ye, Sister An, sister-in-law, happy new year!"
The landlord's family origin at least means that his family is well-off. After all, studying requires money. More importantly, it matches the high-end apartment with a bathroom and a toilet in the script.
At the same time, blinking at Naian, indicating how it is going?
Naian gave him a helpless look, and it was obvious that at least Lou Ye was still undecided when he was selected as the male lead.
It is actually the most appropriate to use words when dealing with Lou Ye, otherwise he would never react at all except for keeping a warm smile.
Li Tang had recommended his ex-girlfriend to Lou Ye through Zhang Rong. When he heard Lou Ye’s question, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: “I think Yi Ling should be a local girl in Shanghai, and her family background is calculated.
Not as rich as a great man, but it is too high. Her family should live in a Shikumen house in the rental area, the kind that is unique. She is very smart, has a good memory, and her cultural level should be from high school or studying.
After a church school, she knew some simple English or French communication. She had an older brother or a relative from a good classmate’s family and Situ might be from the same school. Following Situ when she met at their class reunion, some of them might have happened in the middle.
The little episode brought the two young people together..."
Li Tang didn't talk much, so he took out a stack of manuscript paper from his bag and handed it over, saying, "Brother Ye, this is a biography of the characters I wrote. You can see first, is it appropriate?"
As usual, Lou Ye cherished his words and nodded at him with a warm smile.
"Happy New Year!"
"I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, you understand!" Li Tang blinked and smiled at her.
This also allows you to understand why the murder of his girlfriend would have a great blow to him, and he would even be desperate for revenge.
Seeing that there was no one in the corridor, Li Tang took out an exquisite blue box from his bag and handed it over.
"I'm not afraid, I don't have much money anyway. Besides, even if I demolish it, I will make some compensation. I can't suffer any loss." Li Tang said with a smile.
Li Tang pushed open the door of the conference room, which was warm and air conditioning inside. Three people sat around a solid wood conference table, with the script open, and a few scattered storyboard sketches. It was obvious that it was the floor.
Ye's handwriting.
Regarding Situ's melancholy personality in the plot, although he was hit by his beloved girlfriend's death in front of him. In addition, Li Tang also designed the character Situ lost his mother when he was young, and his father later continued Xuan.
"Happy New Year, Brother Li!"
She got up and arranged to make tea for Li Tang.
No matter how rough the life is, the girl can't resist the temptation of perfume.
The book "The Summer Palace" before Lou Ye was originally designed by her. It can be regarded as like-minded.
"No, I just look at the cheaper house on 798 and rent it a little more. If I can't make it in the future, I can still be the second landlord."
It is difficult for you to see his expression change on Lou Ye's face. Only a trace of light flashes occasionally in his eyes can you see his surprise at the wonderful aspects of Li Tang's long-lasting character analysis.
Li Tang has always admired these people who can draw because they can always show the text in the script vividly with pictures, so that people can understand it at a glance. Instead of having a picture in your mind, you can clearly see it.
It takes a long time to explain it to others.
It is precisely because he lost his biological mother at a very young age and did not be close to his stepmother, which also made him yearn for love, often love the one he loves deeper and knows how to cherish the one he loves.
This time, Lou Ye nodded frequently. After listening, he rarely joked with Li Tang: "That's why you recommend that person... Oh, Li Binbin will play the role of Yi Ling?"
This is how the character's biography is. The script may show a small part of the character's life. The character's personality, including his love, life in the plot, his psychological changes when encountering things, and his choices made, are all
It is closely related to the environment where he grew up from childhood, the education he received, and other aspects.
Li Tang, who was dry-mouthed, drank warm tea in small mouthfuls, not to mention that the tea leaves are good.
Lou Ye just watched it very seriously, but at this time he listened very seriously. As a director, he didn't like the so-called acting skills. He took a lot of actors with acting skills, and what he valued more was the actors' understanding of the characters.
It is precisely because of this memory that he is more reasonable and convincing about the growth experience and character development of the character Situ.
After all, "Purple Butterfly" is not the previous "Suzhou River". He can not give the actors a script in advance and shoot as he pleases. Such a large investment project must have a complete script and shoot according to the normal process.
"Here, Sister Naian and Sister Ma are here."
While clapping her hands, she looked at Lou Ye provocatively. The meaning was very obvious, as if she was saying: I chose the right person, right?
Lou Ye smiled shyly, it was a kind of recognition.
The reason why he was able to draw these analysis was entirely because Yi Ling's profession was an operator in the telephone company.
Li Tang hurriedly stood up and picked him up.
"How do you understand the character Yi Ling?" Lou Ye asked again.
Yi Ling is the second female lead in the script and the girlfriend of the first male lead Situ.
The manuscript is quite thick, with a total of more than a dozen pieces, which is at least tens of thousands of words. When he saw the script and decided to win the role of Situ, he had already begun to figure out the character and wrote a lot of experiences intermittently.
This time, while I was resting during the Spring Festival, I spent four or five days to sort out the complete characters, but it was still handwritten, although his words were still a little bit unfamiliar.
Although Naian clapped with Sister Ma, she had long been accustomed to Li Tang. After all, as Li Tang's former agent, she watched him step by step to his current position, and was even full of pride.
Li Tang finally got the moon first. Before others could see the script, he had already learned the characters thoroughly.
In fact, when Lou Ye wrote this script, he might not have too many associations at the beginning. He just wanted to write such a character, but if you look closely, you will find that his description of this character actually originated from Lou Ye himself.
Understanding of that era. Because from Uncle Lou, the Lou family was not a good family. After all, only children from wealthy families could go to college and would have the conditions to like luxury art.
Lou Ye was lowering his head and drawing on the paper. However, he walked over with a teacup and saw the lawsuit between the two. She did not point it out, but just smiled slightly: "Li Tang, drink tea!"
Li Tang talked happily.
"Li Tang is here, happy new year!"
"That's right! If I come to play Situ, of course I hope she will play the role of Yiling." Li Tang hurriedly followed.
The character Yi Ling should be said to be the opponent character who gave the most emotions to the male lead Situ. Everything Situ did afterwards was based on his emotions towards Yi Ling.
Hearing his unconcealed words, Lou Ye pondered for a moment, and then said, "If it is convenient, you can bring her over here and have a look."
