After dinner, Wu Jianye was going to talk to Director Zhu Jinming, but he was stopped by Li Xiuming halfway.
"If I'm not wrong, are you going to find Director Zhu?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.
"Yes." Wu Jianye nodded, there was nothing to hide in this matter.
"Can we talk? What do you want to talk to Director Zhu about?" Li Xiuming continued to ask.
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "I thought you already knew it!"
Li Xiuming could come here specially to wait for him. Wu Jianye didn't believe that she didn't know what he was thinking.
"Actually, I can probably guess what you want to talk about, but I still hope you can think clearly. After all, we are just actors, not directors. A film is more like a director's child. I believe that after receiving this
While filming the movie, Director Zhu already has his own overall plan, and I really don’t think it’s a good choice for you to go through like this!”
Under the starry sky, Li Xiuming found a tree stump and sat down. The night wind blew by, allowing her to smooth out her messed up hair.
"Thank you!" Wu Jianye knew that Li Xiuming was caring about him, "However, I am also a part of this child. I also hope that he can grow up healthily and become a valuable person!"
Li Xiuming said worriedly: "My arms can't hold my thighs."
Wu Jianye showed a grateful smile: "Don't worry, I'm just a suggestion, I won't be too aggressive!"
Li Xiuming knew that there was nothing he could do to persuade Wu Jianye, so he didn't say further: "Then when you come back, let's study it carefully and how to perform this play well?"
In this way, Li Xiuming was also worried that Wu Jianye would be disheartened after getting a negative answer from Zhu Jinming.
"Thanks!"
"Okay, don't act like Jing Ke stabbing the King of Qin, it's not a big deal!" Li Xiuming finally joked.
"The wind is rustling and the water is cold. As soon as the strong men are gone!" Wu Jianye said with a funny smile, and then went to find Zhu Jinming!
When Wu Jianye came to Zhu Jinming's residence, he found papers spread out on the floor in his room. Among them were the storyboards he had provided before, the script and the storyboards drawn by director Zhu Jinming himself. At this time, he was taking
I'm lying on the floor with a candle and watching tomorrow's storyboards.
"Xiao Wu, you came just in time. Tomorrow we will be filming the part where you choose your concubine. Do you have any ideas?" Zhu Jinming also asked immediately after seeing Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye recalled the plot and immediately said: "Zhao Shutun is opposed to this matter in his heart. He longs for free love and will be very disgusted with this blind date arranged by his father.
At the same time, he has to participate, so there must be a struggle in his heart!"
Zhu Jinming sat cross-legged on the ground and said with a smile: "Yes, you think the same as me. By the way, Xiao Chen, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you!"
Wu Jianye said quickly: "Director Zhu, tell me!"
Zhu Jinming smiled and said: "Don't be nervous. In fact, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time. Although your script is very good, I think some plots can be added to it. For example, Zhao Shutun is looking for Nan Mu.
On Nona’s journey, we can add some clips to highlight Zhaoshutun’s bravery and perseverance!”
"But if this is the case, there will be problems with the length of the film." The script of "Peacock Princess" has actually exceeded the time limit. If the script is followed, the entire film will take approximately two hours. If
If there is more plot, it will be shot into two episodes.
"Don't worry about this. If it doesn't work, we'll make it into two episodes!" Sure enough, Zhu Jinming had already had an idea in his mind.
At this time, Wu Jianye suddenly remembered that the news about "Peacock Princess" that he had seen on the Internet had mentioned that "Peacock Princess" was actually originally filmed into two episodes, but later because of
Due to policy issues, some scenes were deleted, including the clip that Zhu Jinming just mentioned.
However, Wu Jianye still had to ask clearly whether the added fragments that Zhu Jinming mentioned were fragments from his own memory.
"Director Zhu, what kind of footage do you want to add?"
"I checked some Dai myths and stories, and I think it would be better to add some plots such as the cactus witch dance, so that it can also reflect the unyielding love of Zhaoshutun for Nanmuluona!" Zhu Jinming said excitedly
.
Wu Jianye smiled bitterly and said: "Director Zhu, even if these things are filmed, the higher-ups probably won't let them be shown!"
Zhu Jinming, who looked excited just now, felt a little depressed as if someone had poured cold water on him, and his body was no longer so upright.
"We are just doing it for the sake of art. Why would the higher-ups disagree?"
"Director Zhu, these things are not something we can decide. I think the current script can fully support the duration of the entire movie. Why worry about some scenes that are not allowed to appear?" Wu Jianye comforted.
Film creation can never be based solely on the likes and dislikes of the creator. Unless you don't want to show it and just make it for fun, then no one will care about you!
In January of next year, the first article on Popular Films will be "Establish a film law to prevent arbitrary interference."
The article begins with: Many screenwriters and directors are in a state of trepidation at work. What they consider while creating is often not how to delve into the theme and plan the characters, but whether they can pass the review and how they will do it.
There will be no problem of dying midway.
Then some examples were given to illustrate these issues.
However, Wu Jianye knew that the Film Law, which Chinese filmmakers longed for, would have to wait for another thirty years before a draft would be proposed. As for when it would be officially launched, at least Wu Jianye had not seen it before his rebirth.
After calming down his emotions, Zhu Jinming asked: "Xiao Wu, you are so late. Is there anything wrong with you coming to my place?"
Wu Jianye smiled and told Zhu Jinming his thoughts.
After Zhu Jinming listened to Wu Jianye's narration, he immediately expressed his objection: "No, the performance style of this movie has been set long ago and it absolutely cannot be changed. Xiao Wu, it turns out that you were because of this before.
This thing has always been out of control, right?"
Wu Jianye didn't expect that director Zhu Jinming would react so strongly!
Sure enough, as Li Xiuming said, it involves Zhu Jinming's principled issue, and there is no room for negotiation at all. Wu Jianye smiled bitterly, but he did not intend to give up just yet.
Zhu Jinming has his own insistence on some things, and Wu Jianye also has his own persistence. "Peacock Princess" is not only the work of director Zhu Jinming, but also the first work of his own screenwriter, not to mention that he is...
..
"Director Zhu, as the deputy director, I still think we should change the style of the entire play. With the development of performance styles, the performance of stage plays abroad has gradually become different from the performance of movies. We
Domestic development in this area should also be accelerated!" Wu Jianye expressed his thoughts.
"And the most important thing is that when I wrote this script, the picture that appeared in my mind was somewhat different from the current style!"
In two paragraphs, Wu Jianye revealed his other two identities in the crew, assistant director and screenwriter!
