I really don't want high ratings for my documentaries!

Chapter 523 Making a Movie?
If shock has a color, it must be the color of the studio at this moment.

As soon as Zhou Pingping said the words "I think I can compete for second place".

Discussions erupted at the scene in unison.

It's like not lighting the fuse.

"I think this book can be made into a movie."

"Isn't it? I also think that the triangle story here is definitely interesting."

"The main reason is that I was very nervous watching the scene of the confrontation just now."

"It's hard for me to imagine that this is a script written in a few days."

"If you don't tell me, I'd have forgotten that Director Xu wrote it in a few days."

"Is the gold content of getting the best screenwriter so high now?"

The 12 members of the professional judging panel have all become the aunts of the vegetable market at this moment.

When the camera didn't catch them, they chirped and commented.

And in the four tutor seats.

After Zhou Pingping said that sentence, he looked sideways at Xu Wen.

"I have a few questions now and would like to interview Director Xu."

Xu Wen smiled and picked up the microphone on the table.

"Please say."

"This plot, to me, feels like the middle part. I think Director Xu must have thought about the beginning and the end when you wrote it, right?"

Zhou Pingping's words seemed to have reached a key point.

The rest of Wang Jiawei and Tao Jing, and even many members of the expert jury turned their heads to look at Xu Wen.

They also want to know the answer.

Why is the plot written by Xu Wen so attractive.

The whole plot reveals the antecedents in just a few lines, and there are consequences after the performances of the actors.

The story feels very complete, not like a short plot written temporarily for the show.

It feels like this book is a complete story, and Xu Wen just took a short part out of it.

It is precisely because of this overly complete plot that suddenly made Xu Wen's script completely different from the scripts of the other three directors.

Because the other three directors selected a passage from their previous works to adapt.

In the process of watching, although the plot can be seen, it cannot be connected together.

More like independent little pieces.

This kind of drama causes the audience to only focus on the performance of the actors themselves.

Because there is nothing to think about in terms of plot.

But Xu Wen's plot can stand up to scrutiny and speculation.

It also made the experts and instructors on the scene watch the plot while being attracted by the performance of the actors.

It's like watching an entire movie.

That's why they couldn't wait to know whether the book written by Xu Wen was written temporarily.

Still have an outline.

Hear Zhou Pingping's words.The corners of Xu Wen's mouth rose slightly.

"It's no wonder that he is a great director who has worked in the film and television industry for many years, so he can tell at a glance."

"Yes, when I wrote this story, I already thought of the beginning and the end."

"The whole story is called "Painted Skin", and it tells the love and hatred between a fox demon and a couple."

Zhou Pingping frowned slightly, and murmured.

"Painted skin?"

"A demon has no form, so you need to paint skin, but you can paint human skin but you can't learn the human heart. This is the theme of my whole story."

Xu Wen nodded.

Zhou Pingping was silent for a moment and took a deep breath.

"Director Xu deserves to be the director who has won the best screenplay twice! I am convinced in this round!"

As soon as Zhou Pingping finished speaking, there was warm applause at the scene.

Most of the applause went to Xu Wen.

"Director Xu, that's too strong!"

"Great!"

Xu Wen smiled slightly, and took it calmly in the face of so much applause.

At such a critical moment, He Ling walked out.

Although many people think that Xu Wen's play is well written, rules are rules.

After all, it's the final, so we still need to eliminate one of the two actors who played Mrs. Wang and Xiao Wei.

Fortunately, in order to avoid suspicion, Xu Wen, as a mentor, has no voting rights.

Otherwise, if Xu Wen was really allowed to choose by himself, he might not be able to choose.

Under the votes of three other mentors and a panel of 12 expert judges.

In the end, He Mei, who played Xiao Wei, narrowly defeated the actor who played Mrs. Wang and entered the finals.

In fact, Xu Wen felt a little regretful.

Because the actor who played Mrs. Wang performed exceptionally well today.

It has reached the point where he can be on par with He Mei.

It could even be said if the actor was on the team of three other mentors.

Definitely can make it to the finals.

It would be nice to get both into the finals.

But Xu Wen also knew that this was just an extravagant wish.

The program team invited four directors to be mentors, and it is destined that each mentor will have a student enter the finals.

Otherwise, if a mentor does not have a student who enters the finals, the whole scene will look too ugly.

So even if the two actors in Xu Wen's hands are excellent, only one can enter the final.

This is the rule of variety shows!

The team competitions of the four mentors in their own groups have all ended.

Then came the real finals.

Compared with the previous game, the rules of the finals are simpler.

That is, all four actors brought their own solo performances.

The recording of the finals was on the second day.

So after Team Xu Wen's knockout match ended, everyone was preparing to leave the studio one after another.

Here Xu Wen also planned to get up, but unexpectedly Zhou Pingping walked over.

"Xu Wen, you really exceeded all of our expectations today."

"Isn't it? If this episode is aired, I guess it will definitely be on the hot search."

Tao Jing also came over at this time.

On the other hand, Wang Jiawei silently gave a thumbs up.

Xu Wen smiled, looking a little shy.

"No, maybe it's just luck."

"You don't need to be humble in front of us. Hey, by the way, does Xu Wenyi have any ideas for filming the complete script of your story?"

Zhou Pingping smiled and changed the topic.

Xu Wen stared blankly at Zhou Pingping.

"The full version of this is a movie."

"Yeah, I'm talking about movies."

Zhou Pingping nodded.

Xu Wen smiled wryly.

"I haven't finished filming the TV series currently in my hand. I may have to shelve the movie for now. I really don't have the energy to make a movie."

"Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. Xu Wen, you write the script and give it to others to shoot. Can you invest soon?"

Tao Jing blinked aside and said with a smile.

Write your own script?
Give it to someone else to shoot.

Invest yourself?

Xu Wen thought about it and felt that this was indeed a good idea.

He looked up at Tao Jing who had just spoken.

"Sister Jing, you mean you want to take pictures?"

"I really want to shoot it, but I'm afraid that Director Zhou will be unhappy. Didn't you hear that Director Zhou is very interested in this story?"

Tao Jing burst into a smile, pointing to Zhou Pingping with her eyes.

Zhou Pingping on the side stopped demonstrating and scratched his head with a smile.

"To tell you the truth, I'm really interested in this story."

"If Director Xu is willing to let me shoot, I will definitely go all out."

Xu Wen was a little stunned.

He originally thought that Tao Jing would be interested.

Even if Wang Jiawei was interested, Xu Wen wouldn't be too surprised.

But he never thought it would be Zhou Pingping.

Because Zhou Pingping is a TV drama director, and isn't he recently filming a costume drama to impact the project of "cultural export"?
Still have the energy to take over "Painted Skin" now?
So free?

Time management guru?

Facing Xu Wen's puzzled eyes, Zhou Pingping said with a smile.

"I have a costume drama that is being filmed in my hand. You may all know that I want to use this drama to hit the "cultural output" quota of the central station."

"But the cycle of my drama is relatively short, and the filming will be finished in about two months."

"After filming TV series for so many years, I just thought about making a movie before I retire."

When Zhou Pingping said this, Xu Wen realized that he had actually ignored Zhou Pingping's age all along.

As the oldest of the four mentors.

Because he is not good at being a monster, and the way of speaking on the show is not to offend people, people always ignore Zhou Pingping subconsciously.

But in fact, if you think about it carefully, Zhou Pingping can be Xu Wen's father at his age.

Tao Jing on the side said with a smile.

"Director Zhou wants to make a movie, and it's not a day or two."

"It was mentioned to me a long time ago, and I also introduced several scripts to him, but he was not satisfied."

"So with me, I can guarantee that Director Zhou is definitely not a whim."

Hearing this, Xu Wen nodded.

He probably had a bottom line in his heart, raised his head and said to Zhou Pingping with a smile.

"Director Zhou, see if this works. After the show is over, let's find some time to have a good chat."

"You came to me so suddenly now, I can't make up my mind right away, why don't we go out for dinner after the recording ends tomorrow?"

Xu Wen's words made Zhou Pingping heave a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that Xu Wen would reject him as soon as he came up.

As long as Xu Wen didn't refuse immediately, it meant that there was still room for improvement.

Zhou Pingping said with a smile.

"No problem, let's talk tomorrow night!"

Watching Zhou Pingping leave, Wang Jiawei came over.

"Have you decided to let Zhou Pingping shoot your script?"

"What's wrong with that?"

Xu Wen looked at Wang Jiawei.

Wang Jiawei shrugged.

"There's nothing wrong with it. Although Mr. Zhou has always been a TV director, his works are well-known."

"I'm surprised that this book is so good, why don't you direct it yourself?"

Xu Wen smiled helplessly.

"I think, sometimes you don't have to hold everything in your hands."

"Although I wrote this script, I don't think I am the most suitable candidate."

"Sometimes the work also depends on fate. Inappropriate works do not fit well with the director, and the filming is nondescript."

"So, it is also a new attempt to switch from being a director to being an investor behind the scenes."

Wang Jiawei glanced at Xu Wen in surprise.

"You are more open-minded than I imagined."

After leaving the studio, Xu Wen immediately found the two students under him.

Originally, I wanted to comfort the actor who played Mrs. Wang.

However, it was discovered that Tao Jing's staff had sent out an invitation to this student as early as after the program ended.

It is said that in Tao Jing's new movie, there is a role that is quite suitable for this student.

So I want to invite this student to audition.

Hearing this news, Xu Wen also heaved a sigh of relief.

It seems that there is another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.

Although this student did not represent Xu Wen on the stage of the finals, it is good to have another harvest.

In fact, it's not that Xu Wen has never thought about signing this student into his company, but after a little inquiring, he found that this female student has already signed with the company.

Xu Wen thought about it too.

Most of the people who can come to this show are newcomers from the company.

Even if there are very few who have not signed a contract with the company, they are at least familiar.

But generally speaking, there is no contracted company as the background.

Basically eliminated in the first round.

There is only one such a lost gem like He Mei.

And if it wasn't for Xu Wen, it is estimated that there is no mentor to choose, and he would be eliminated in the first round.

So, it’s easier to do things with a backer.

After solving this student's matter, the next step is He Mei's finals tomorrow.

The format of the finals is to require each student to perform individually solo.

The four mentors knew this competition system before the last recording.

Xu Wen didn't know who would advance to the finals at the time.

So the two are prepared with exactly the same clips.

In this way, no matter who will advance, there will be a performance segment.

Because it was handed over to He Mei a long time in advance, there was no need for Xu Wen to rehearse from scratch.

The requirements of the competition system are for personal solo, so Xu Wen selected the most classic solo performance and gave it to He Mei.

That's Wan Qian's performance in "I'm Crazy" in the previous life, where one person played seven roles.

That solo performance can be called the scene of conferring gods!

It is also the performance that can best show an actor's acting skills.

One person has to play seven distinct roles.

Each character represents a different personality in his own body.

There are those who are very different from me, and even have different genders.

The whole process is distinguished by acting skills.

It can be said that if He Mei can deduce it.

Even relying on this to get a best actress is not impossible.

It's a pity that this is just a variety show, and with He Mei's current acting skills, Xu Wen doesn't think she can interpret these 7 roles well.

It is estimated that being able to deduce 2-3 characters is the best.

But this also met Xu Wen's request.

Moreover, such a performance was also a test for He Mei.

Although He Mei has Zhou Xun's shadow and aura on her body.

But whether you can make good use of this aura is very important.

Of course Xu Wen also hopes to see a big flower come out of his hands.

It's just that on the way to become a big flower, you must go through a lot of trials!
