"I convinced my mother... so I came to China. I first went to Shangjing. Oh, you know life there is not easy..."
"So I came to Tianhai again, and then signed a contract with Chenguang..."
"Oh, that supermarket is right in front. I bought my quilt there for only fifty yuan..."
"By the way, where did I just say it? Yes, I am very grateful to my agent Liu Hai, but I haven't received a role for three months now..."
"Director Lin Juan, if, I mean if, there is a role suitable for me in your next play..."
"Please give me a chance, just give me a chance to audition." Will said sincerely and expectantly.
He looked a little anxious.
Lin Juan turned around and looked at him. Will's eyes were pleading. This man was carrying the scars that life had given him.
Will seemed a little at a loss when Lin Juan looked at him so seriously, but then he realized that he might be observing him, and immediately stood up, nervously straightened his clothes, and carefully smoothed out every wrinkle.
.
"Why did you come to China?" Lin Juan suddenly asked him.
"Uh... I think there will be a lot of opportunities here. Chinese films have just entered the international market a few years ago. There will be a need for many actors here, with different nationalities and different skin colors." Will racked his brains and said, shaking his hands unconsciously.
, very focused.
"...This country is returning to its original position, so I'm here." After Will finished speaking, he subconsciously licked his dry lips and looked at Lin Juan anxiously. He was obviously taller and stronger than Lin Juan, but
At this time, in front of Lin Juan, he was as weak as a dog beside his master, eagerly waiting for the bones that his master might give him.
Lin Juan listened quietly. After he finished speaking, he thought about it, suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand and said calmly: "Congratulations, buddy, you passed the interview. I will add a character suitable for you in the script."
What's the script? It's the toy in his hand.
As long as he wants to, it's just a matter of adding a line, and it can also bring some international feel to the film and win some black audiences.
He is not good at distribution and business, but in the world of movies, he is the king.
Will subconsciously held Lin Juan's hand. When he realized what happened, tears fell down. He asked tremblingly: "Really?"
"Yes, of course, you succeeded, buddy." Lin Juan smiled, as pale as a chrysanthemum. At this moment, he felt that bringing the taste of success to others was also a kind of happiness.
Life is full of flavors. If you understand it carefully, you will find that there are deficiencies everywhere, and everything can be perfected.
…
In the next two days, Lin Juan has been adapting scripts and drawing storyboards in the system. The input method in the system can be used with your mind. It is easy to modify anything. The same is true for storyboards. It can save a lot of time. He has been useless for the past two days.
It took about 50,000 words of script, three or four versions of settings, and after referring to movies such as "Rescue" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth", we finally determined the framework of the new script, and then it was just filling in.
On September 1st, at noon, Lin Juan opened his eyes from the sofa in the hall, smiled with relief, picked up his mobile phone, and sent a message to Li Lan on WeChat: "Aunt Lan, I'm ready. I'll send you this afternoon."
Let’s gather them all and have a meeting.”
After a while, a message came from the other side: "Okay, the first meeting will be held at three o'clock in the afternoon. Xiaojuan, you can just come to the company directly."
"Copy that." Lin Juan responded with a smile, an inexplicable light appearing in his eyes.
Got to work.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Juan appeared in the conference room of the production department of Chenguang Building with a pile of information. As soon as he entered the door, he saw about a dozen people sitting around the conference room. Li Lan sat at the head.
When she saw him, she stood up with a smile. Wen Wan introduced him: "This is Lin Juan, the chief director of our project team. Everyone is welcome."
"Pa bang bang..." More than ten people clapped their hands in unison.
Lin Juan seemed a little shy on this occasion. He bowed slightly to thank everyone, looking embarrassed.
"Xiaojuan, sit here and let me introduce you." Li Lan controlled the audience and pointed to the position of his lower left hand. Then he introduced him one by one: "This is the coordinator Jiang Tao."
"This is the coordinator Li Qiu."
"This is Executive Producer Duyou."
"This is live production..."
"This is life filmmaking..."
"This is the chief photography..."
"This is special effects directing..."
As soon as they walked down, they were all the bosses of the crew, assistant directors, actors, assistant directors, on-site directors, chief artists, etc. Most of these people had a team under them. Lin Juan would say hello to everyone, look at them carefully and write them down.
, this will be his first complete team in real life.
After all these people were introduced, Li Lan smiled and said to Lin Juan gently: "Xiao Juan, this may be your first time directing a crew with so many people. Ask them if you have any questions. If you need anything, just come to me. I'm
Chief producer of this film.”
How transparent are the people present? They felt their teeth hurt when they heard Li Lan's words. This was to support the young director. Hey, this is another young man. Otherwise, how could he become a director at such a young age? And Li Lan
How long has it been since you worked as a producer?
But it doesn't matter to them, they just get paid and do their own thing.
Lin Juan smiled and nodded, with some gratitude in his eyes, then turned around and said to the secretary in the conference room: "Please make a copy of this information, one for each person, thank you."
After the secretary left with a thick piece of information in his hand, Lin Juan said to everyone again: "Everyone, please take a seat."
After everyone sat down, Lin Juan looked more serious: "I don't know if everyone has read the script, but I have slightly changed the script at home these days, so I will tell you about it first."
When it came to professionalism, Lin Juan naturally exuded the aura of controlling the entire audience. He said without a doubt: "The main changes are as follows."
"One: A new black character is added, and there is an extra straight line. If there are only two male and female protagonists in the secret realm of the center of the earth, the plot will be too thin."
No matter what they thought, everyone was listening carefully at this moment. Someone raised his hand to indicate that he had something to say. Lin Juan raised his hand and said, "If you have anything to say, we'll discuss it later when the materials come in. Let me finish first."
The man put down his hand nonchalantly, not expecting that the young man who looked like a good old man just now had such a strong aura now.
After everyone calmed down, Lin Juan continued: "Secondly, the structure of the geocentric scene in the original script was too thin. I added a few scenes. The main scenes and other materials include a split-shot script."
"Third, the emotional scenes are too abrupt, just like in American blockbusters. We have to film with our values in mind."
"fourth……"
Li Lan looked at Lin Juan, who had a serious face and was talking eloquently, with a smile on his face. She was becoming more and more optimistic about this young man who suddenly appeared.
…
While we were chatting, the secretary opened the door, and two men came in with a lot of information in their hands, and then began to distribute information to everyone without saying a word.
Lin Juan had almost finished speaking, so he concluded: "I will give you half an hour to read the information. In half an hour it will be time for questions. Let's start now."
