After hearing Li Qian's words, Peng Yuchang had already figured out that he would not be able to go to school and could only go home and inherit the family's pork stall.
However, I am quite handsome. Isn’t it a bit against the rules to sell pork?
However, Peng Yuchang still did not dare to question Li Qian's arrangement, so he opened the script and read it.
The script for the role was not long. After reading it carefully, Peng Yuchang realized that he had thought wrong.
I didn’t go to school, but instead of going home to sell pork, I went to deliver express delivery.
Peng Yuchang was there carefully reading the script, and Li Qian was also talking about the role beside him.
"First of all, your character is quite inspirational. Nine generations of my family have no education, and a college student like you is born.
Although your grades are mediocre, you were recruited into the Physical Education College of Hainan Normal University by relying on extra points in sports. However, you are also an undergraduate, and your parents and family are pointing out that you can have a good future, and you will not kill pigs like them, even though selling pork is not enough.
Making money is not decent, nor is it easy.
Five years have passed all of a sudden. There is no way to go back to school for the time being. Moreover, society is developing rapidly. With a gap of five years, you, a person with little social experience, are almost out of touch with society.
After a period of time, you choose a job with a low threshold of delivering express delivery.
After sending you off for a while, I met the male protagonist on the roadside who was also out of touch with society and had failed to find a job. You had met on the plane before and started chatting. During the conversation, the male protagonist finally put down his body and followed you.
Went to deliver a courier..."
There were not many words in the script for his own role, so Peng Yuchang quickly read it twice.
"You're so unlucky, do I need to exercise first?"
"No need for now, there's no point in exercising now. We'll arrange the time when filming starts. Anyway, you don't have many roles, and you're not sure when filming will start."
Li Qian waved his hand, thought for a while and then said, "But, can you ride the kind of three-wheeled electric vehicle that delivers express delivery?"
"I can ride an electric bike, but I have never ridden a three-wheeler." Peng Yuchang answered honestly.
"Then learn first."
"Okay boss."
They are all electric vehicles, they just have one more wheel, so it should not be difficult.
"Then boss, why don't I act a part?"
"No need." Li Qian shook his head, "It's not too difficult, so I won't try out the role. Just go back and think about it. This is an inspiring role."
"Understood." Peng Yuchang nodded frequently. The 18-year-old quasi-college student suddenly traveled through five years and had not yet studied. Moreover, the changes in the five years have made him out of touch with society.
Under such circumstances, one can still be optimistic about doing low-level hard work like a courier.
Li Qian added, "In addition, I took on a certain comedy element, because I was admitted to the Normal University, and on the plane I was thinking about being a physical education teacher who would never get sick, but in the end I turned into a courier boy. This difference,
Coupled with the optimism of the character, the male protagonist was infected and willing to do hard work like a courier.
One is an 18-year-old young man who has worked for a while and is considered a veteran employee. The other is a 30-year-old adult. It is his first time doing this kind of work. He is not used to it either physically or mentally. He is a complete rookie. You two
Contrast at work is a source of laughter."
Commercial movies, emotional and inspirational movies, Li Qian appropriately adds some comedy elements, which is also the most basic, creating a comedy effect through the contrast of the characters themselves.
This role can be regarded as a role that allows the male protagonist to adapt to the era five years later and get inspired again.
After all, being a courier and running around all day long is one of the best jobs to reintegrate into the world.
It was this work experience and getting along with the character Peng Yuchang that made me become optimistic about my future life again.
After Peng Yuchang worked as a courier for several months, the school also informed him that he could enroll with next year's freshmen, so he resigned and his life got back on track.
After the male protagonist fully adapted to life in 2020, he also resigned and started a new life of his own.
He is a supporting character with a bit of a role, but mainly as a character who affects the male protagonist.
Although my own experience is enough to make a movie, there is not much space in the movie, so most of it will be skipped.
For example, after being quarantined and reviewed at the airport, this character will appear as a courier boy who has been working for a month, and the experience of the middle character will be skipped directly.
The supporting role is just like that. There is not that much time, but the audience can make up their own mind about his experience from the figure who skillfully drives an electric tricycle through the streets.
Blank space is also one of the charms of movies. Everyone can imagine it according to their own thinking.
For example, after the plane landed, the quarantine review was completed, and the school has not started in 2020, why not let him go to school with the freshmen of this class? This kind of irrelevant plot will not be told.
The audience may have imagined the inaction of some people in the school and the government.
It’s not bad. No matter where you are, there are people who don’t do anything. At the same time, the movie also shows the positive side of government agencies.
There are several supporting roles similar to this character, and they are basically all roles that match the hero's experience and psychological changes.
There are young people, middle-aged people, and old people. For example, a middle-aged couple saw their child again after five years. The obedient child had been an orphan for five years, without parents to teach, accompany, or relatives.
I couldn't control it, and I had become a little gangster. I even got in once because I stole something.
There are all kinds of people, some are positive and optimistic, and some are degenerate because of it.
The heroine, that is, the hero's sister, will also be encountered, but relatively speaking, the heroine is not that complicated, she just doesn't have a fiancé.
The main focus is still on the male protagonist. As for the choice, it was so good.
A man in his thirties with an ordinary education and an ordinary white-collar job is just an ordinary person, just like the people in various office buildings and subways.
The family situation is not good, but it is not bad, otherwise it would be impossible for the family to travel.
Although it is just because my son, who grew up in the mountain city of Chongqing, has always wanted to play at the beach, as a father, he can only satisfy his son who has less than two or three years to live.
Ordinary people, to some extent, are precisely the hardest to find.
There is no shortage of actors and actresses with various characteristics in the entertainment industry, including mature women, young mature women, young women, royal sisters, and innocent students. These actresses are easy to find.
Even if the age difference between the actor and the character is more than ten years, there are still many actresses who can play it.
After all, there are still people who are 40 or 50 years old playing the role of an 18-year-old.
The male actors are also similar. From young freshmen to middle-aged uncles, there are a lot of actors of various ages and characteristics.
Only the word "ordinary" is hard to find as a male protagonist in a modern urban emotional and inspirational drama.
Chen Kun is not ordinary enough. Xu Zheng and Huang Bo are ordinary enough, but they are not suitable for this type.
However, the company already has it.
...
At three o'clock in the afternoon, there was a knock on the office door again, and Deng Chao, who had rushed back from the Chongqing studio, opened the door and walked in.
"What is "Flight of Destiny" about, and what does the male protagonist do?"
Before Deng Chaoren sat down to take a sip of water, he began to care about his role.
"Why are you so anxious? Let's take a breath first."
Li Qian smiled and poured him a glass of water, "Brother Chao, how was the filming of "Passing Through Your World"?"
"It will take more than a month. Less than half of my scenes have been filmed."
Deng Chao took a sip of water, immediately opened the script, and sighed.
"You think I can't be in a hurry. "Bad Angel" was criticized so badly. Fortunately, "Riding the Wind and Waves" has a good reputation. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do."
Relying on the movies "The Truman Show", "The Pursuit of Happiness" and "Heart of the Sun", Deng Chao has already been half a step ahead of the Mesozoic actors in public. As a result, he directed and starred in two comedy movies.
"The Breakup Master" and "Bad Angel" were ridiculed by the crowd, and the entire Internet was full of curses.
If it hadn't been for a thick foundation, it would have almost become muddy.
As a result, Deng Chao no longer dared to direct, so he took on Zhang Yibai's film "From Your World If".
He is in urgent need of a movie that is both popular and well-received. Li Qian's new movie will be life-saving.
Li Qian shook his head secretly. He had already said that the director was not that easy to do, so he acted like a lunatic or a lunatic. It would be weird if he didn't get criticized.
But this time "From Your World If" should be better. Although it is more pretentious and literary, but just like those pretentious remarks that everyone posted on QQ space when they were young, it still catches the airwaves.
OK.
When Deng Chao recovered from his long journey, Li Qian also told this story.
"H Brother Chao, you have also read the news about "Flight of Destiny". It is your family, parents, wife, children, sister, and brother-in-law-to-be. At the end of the summer vacation, in order to satisfy the wish of the son who has little left in his life, the whole family
Travel to Hainan.
But in order to get cheaper air tickets, you bought a few special tickets and took them separately. You took your son and sister on another special flight.
But as fate would have it, your plane suddenly disappeared, was declared a crash, and everyone on the plane was declared dead.
But five years later, the plane suddenly appeared again and landed safely at the destination. No one on the plane noticed that five years had passed. In their experience, it was a normal takeoff and landing.
The whole society was shocked, and the people on the plane, as well as their relatives and friends, were all dumbfounded and were sent home after being quarantined and reviewed.
But five years have passed, society is moving forward, everyone's life is also moving forward, and your family has also undergone huge changes.
The mother passed away from a broken heart, and the twin daughters grew up to five years old. The two siblings who were originally close to each other, but the elder sister also couldn't adapt when she reached puberty.
Moreover, another man appeared in the wife's life, who had been taking care of their orphaned and widowed mother, and the whole family was suddenly on the verge of falling apart.
Moreover, society has developed rapidly in the past five years. You have also lost your job, and you have no outstanding abilities. You have not been able to adapt to this society for a while, and you cannot find another job with similar pay as before.
Don’t have money to read novels? I’ll give you cash or coins, and you can get it for one day only! Follow the public account [Book Friends Base Camp] and get it for free!
Although your son's disease has been cured with the development of science and technology, the double blow of money, family, and work has made you start to become decadent.
And at this time, you begin to meet some people who were sitting near you on the plane. Each of their lives has also undergone huge changes, but some people face reality and life positively and optimistically. Under the influence of these people, you also begin to slowly
Get rid of the decadence and get back on your feet.”
.....
"Is it really an inspirational movie?" Deng Chao was still a little surprised when he put down the script. He thought it was some kind of science fiction movie before, but he didn't expect that the plane was not mentioned at all, it was just an introduction.
"The main thread is inspiration and emotion." Li Qian nodded.
"The inspirational part is easy to say. It is the growth process of the character under a heavy blow. There should be no problem, but this emotional scene..." Deng Chao said hesitantly.
Li Qian knew what he was thinking, and smiled and said, "Emotional scenes are no problem. Your wife is purely grateful to the man who helped her, and there is no such thing as a love triangle."
When the hero comes back, he learns that during the five years since he was away, his wife has become very close to another man, and the daughter and wife are grateful to each other and say how much the other man takes care of them.
His mother passed away due to illness, he lost his job, and a series of other things happened. Normal men would easily have a quarrel, not only for that man, but also as a way to vent their own experiences.
Coupled with the lack of father's love for five years, the daughter who was in the rebellious stage was alienated from her own father and close to other men.
In short, the combination of the daughter's strangeness, the wife's gratitude to the other party, and his own "incompetence" directly led to the family being on the verge of breakdown.
Deng Chao said clearly, "Is it because of a misunderstanding?"
Li Qian said, "This is half of the factors, as well as the pressure of so many years, the man's self-esteem, and a series of reasons.
The most important thing is time. The relationship between you, husband and wife, and your son has never changed. Your wife has not drifted away from you, and your daughter has not disowned you. It is just five years that have separated you. Time and distance cannot hinder everything.
Well, five years is a long time to still be declared dead.
The emotional drama is divided into two parts. In the first part, the extremes of both parties lead to the near breakdown of the family relationship. Then, you have trouble finding a job, repeatedly run into obstacles, and meet other people who are on the same flight.
Some people make you cheer up again, and some people's experiences make you begin to understand how difficult it has been for your wife to take care of her daughter and take care of the elderly alone for the past five years.
This is when you begin to understand, repair, and recover the time between father and daughter that was lost for five years, and the time between husband and wife. Finally, you can regroup with yourself, have a new career, and the family is as close as it was five years ago."
"To put it simply, this is a story about a family making up for five years. Time can hinder everything, but emotions can also transcend time. It's like the plane has not disappeared, but everyone's experience has been a little bumpy." Li Qian roughly summarized.
For a moment.
What would have happened if no accident had occurred.
After talking about this role carefully, Deng Chao suddenly asked another question.
“What is it about me that best fits this role?”
"??" Li Qian was a little confused.
Deng Chao said with a smile, "That's right, I'm just asking. Director Zhang Yibai's first question when we met before was to ask me if I knew why he wanted me to play the leading role. Star Master also asked me a similar question during "Mermaid".
Question, I just want to know what your director thinks."
Li Qian smiled casually, and it seemed that he still had no desire to be a director.
After thinking about it, Li Qian laughed and said, "Because Brother Chao, you are ordinary enough and unremarkable. Of course it is most suitable to play an ordinary person."
"Mediocre?"
Deng Chao was stunned and touched his face unconsciously.
