After I was reborn, I became a great writer

Chapter 391 I Don't Want to Be a Dream Builder

"Ka, ka! How did Zhong Bowei tell you, how did you find the angle! Do it again."

"Stop, Gu Wen, this shot of yours is a close-up shot, do you know what a close-up shot is? I want details! Details!"

"Cut (cut off), how about the lens?"

Director Guan Lu almost threw his hat on the cameraman's face.

There were more than a dozen photographers on the set, and the assistant photographer felt very wronged. We all came here according to the requirements, and we did the same thing before. Isn’t it because the team leader made a small mistake these days? As for scolding so hard Well.

However, they only dared to think in their hearts, and dared not speak out. Even the actors on the set and the staff of other departments were cautious, for fear of offending the director.

Of course, these people did not include producer Huo Ganghua.

"I said, Director Guan, I think their filming is okay. There are some small flaws that can be cut out during post-production. Why are you so angry? Come, have a cup of tea to clear the fire."

Seeing that Guan Lu's mouth was peeling off, Huo Ganghua smiled and handed him a cup of herbal tea.

He has supervised several big-budget films before, but this is the first time he has encountered such a demanding director as Guan Lu.

"Producer Huo, if you want to achieve good results, you can't rely entirely on post-production. On-site shooting must be fine-tuned."

Guan Lu drank the herbal tea in one gulp, but still couldn't calm down.

"I know, it's because your voice has become hoarse these days! How about I call photographer Zhang to come back?"

Huo Ganghua said with a playful face.

"No, I can take care of it. Lao Zhang has something to do. All departments are preparing, and there will be another one, and strive for this one."

Guan Lu hastily rejected the proposal, he got up and went to several photographers to give guidance and express the desired effect.

Seeing this, Huo Ganghua shook his head and was speechless, all of this was his own fault.

Who told him to send the leader of the photography team and an assistant director to help Chen Tianhong write the script for the scenes, otherwise there would be no such small flaws with the experienced team leader around.

To be honest, as the producer, Huo Ganghua should stop this kind of behavior of letting the crew members do private work, but Guan Lu is a big director hired by the company with great difficulty, and most of the people in the crew were recruited by him , it is not easy to offend, and he also promises that it will not affect the quality of the film.

In addition, the person who went to help was Chen Tianhong, and the crew was currently filming in London, so Huo Ganghua needed to rely on his relationship to coordinate the venue, so Huo Ganghua just turned a blind eye.

"Cut, this one is over, everyone has a break to eat, and we will shoot another scene in the afternoon."

Finally the good news came, Guan Lu was very satisfied with the filming just now, he looked at the time, it was twelve o'clock soon, he decided to finish the meal before filming, besides, Liu Yifei, the protagonist of another scene, hadn't arrived yet.

"Producer Huo, let's go out and find a place to eat today. I'm treating you. There's a good steak nearby."

The directors, producers and big-name actors of the crew do not need to eat on the set, they have many choices.

"Okay, let me invite you, call Le Ruisong, Jiaxuan and the others together."

Huo Ganghua called out the names of several people, all of whom were the assistant directors and several important actors of the crew.

"Okay."

Just as Guan Lu answered, the phone rang. Seeing that it was Chen Tianhong calling, he hurriedly pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Mr. Chen, there's nothing there yet. I'm planning to go eat. Are you coming to the set soon? Okay, let's go together, Omninon Steakhouse? Well, okay, I'll be right there."

Guan Lu hummed a few times, and looked very excited after hanging up the phone.

Huo Ganghua didn't take it seriously. Ever since he learned that Chen Tianhong was not interested in attracting investment, although he remained enthusiastic as always, his mood was much calmer than when we first met.

"Director Guan, Mr. Chen has been to the set several times, what are you doing!"

"Mr. Chen said the script is finished! Producer Huo, I'll treat you to dinner next time. I'm leaving first."

"Damn it, it's only been a few days since I finished it? Didn't you say "Detective Sherlock" was written first, Director Guan, you can't leave me, I'll go too."

Huo Ganghua jumped up from the chair, grabbed Guan Lu, and said nothing to let him go alone.

"Producer Huo, isn't it suitable for you to go?"

"Why is it inappropriate? Our company has a cooperation with Yajue Film and Television. Besides, Chen and I are finally friends."

"Okay, go home, you are not allowed to talk about investment, and you drive."

"It's fine for me to drive, but you will drive when I come to the set, and I want to experience Rollstees."

"Forget it, let's call a crew driver."

Huo Ganghua: "."

When the two arrived at the steak shop, Chen Tianhong and Liu Yifei had already ordered the steak and other side dishes.

Because there was still filming in the afternoon, no wine was ordered, and an assistant director and cameraman Zhang who helped him write the script were also there.

Seeing that Huo Ganghua followed, Chen Tianhong didn't care, he wasn't poaching, besides, even if he did, so what?

"Mr. Chen, can I read the script of "Inception" first?"

Before taking his seat, Guan Lu rubbed his hands impatiently and said.

"Eat, watch after eating."

"Mr. Chen, I'd better watch it first, otherwise it won't be fun to eat."

Guan Lu put on a pitiful look.

"Yes, Mr. Chen, you guys eat first, Director Guan and I will read the script first."

Huo Ganghua responded aloud, he was very interested in the setting of Sherlock Holmes building a thinking palace in "The Ghost Bride", and he also heard Liu Yifei and Chen Tianhong chatting a few words about the new script on the set, and he was also very curious.

"Tianhong, you can produce for Director Guan and Huo."

Liu Yifei looked amused, and said a word to help.

"Row."

Chen Tianhong didn't insist anymore, he took out two official scripts and a scene script from his bag, and handed them to Guan Lu and Huo Ganghua.

After the two received the script, they both chose to read the official script first. They wanted to know what kind of story the script told.

The main line of the story they have heard from Chen Tianhong is the competition between two energy giant companies. One of the bosses of the two companies is named Saito and the other is named Fisher. Fisher is old and his life is numbered. His son Fisher Jr. is about to inherit the company.

Saito wanted to disintegrate his opponent's company, so he hired the most famous "Dream Stealer" in the industry to implant an idea in Fisher's subconscious mind, "Give up my father's business and start my own business."

The most famous dream stealer is the protagonist. He can sneak into people's most vulnerable dreams to steal valuable secrets from the subconscious. Possessing such a skill is coveted but also frightening. The government regards it as for dangerous corporate spies.

The protagonist originally wanted to reject the business, he was not short of money, but Saito offered a temptation he could not refuse, allowing him to go home and return to a normal life.

Because the protagonist at this time is an internationally wanted criminal charged with "killing his wife".

Implanting information in dreams and influencing one's own subconscious is also a challenge for the protagonist, far more difficult than stealing secrets from other people's dreams.

So he reorganized his own team with a clear dividend. The "outpost" is responsible for the early data collection and information exploration, and is also responsible for helping to clear up various unexpected difficulties in the dream.

"Dream Builder" is responsible for designing dreams and constructing scenes that Fisher believes are his own dreams.

The "pretender" pretends to be the person around the target person in the dream, so as to better influence Little Fisher from the subconscious level.

There are six people in the team, there is also an anesthesiologist, plus the protagonist and boss Saito.

For this reason, they plan to construct a three-layer dream, which is what Chen Tianhong told Liu Yifei, "a dream within a dream within a dream".

The first level of dreams is relatively shallow and the closest to reality. It mainly plays a guiding role for Little Fisher, allowing him to smoothly transition to the second level of dreams.

In the second level of dreams, he continued to test the subconscious thoughts of Fisher, implanted in him the idea of ​​"I want to start my own business", and changed his inherent ideas.

The third dream at the end is the key to the success of the mission, letting Little Fisher know that his father's greatest expectation of him is, "I don't want my son to be himself."

As long as the three dreams can be successfully completed, then when Little Fisher wakes up, he will subconsciously resist inheriting the company, and the protagonist's mission will be considered complete.

After agreeing on the plan, the mission officially started. Saito bought the airline where Fisher traveled. On the plane, the protagonist successfully made him drink a strong tranquilizer (a medicine that makes it difficult to wake up in a dream), and then the 6 people entered the Constructed dreams.
The following story is very complicated and brain-intensive. Because Little Fisher has received anti-dream training, he has the consciousness of resistance in his heart, so the plan has an accident. They not only fall into the three-layer dream, but also construct a dream in desperation. After entering the fourth layer of dreams, the protagonist and Saito are lost in the "lost domain" that all dream stealers fear.

But the ending was good. They finally completed the implantation of Little Fisher's subconscious thoughts. In the Lost Domain, the protagonist saw the "wife", relieved the obsession in his heart, and successfully recovered the death in the "dream". Saito woke up.

In the end, everyone woke up on the real plane, everyone got off the plane, each went to pick up their checked luggage, and went to their respective destinations.

The protagonist returns to his long-lost home and sees the child he has been away for many years. At the end of the story, the totem top representing the protagonist keeps spinning
Because the official script was written comprehensively and cumbersomely, after several people at the table had finished their meals, Guan Lu and Huo Ganghua had barely finished it, and they both had many questions in their hearts.

"Mr. Chen, you wrote at the end that the protagonist's totem spinning top is about to stop. Did it stop? Could it be that the protagonist and the others haven't woken up and are still in a dream?"

Huo Ganghua asked the biggest question.

His words made the cameraman and the assistant director smile. After reading the script, they thought the same thing. Even Liu Yifei, who was the first to know about it, asked this question.

"Producer Huo, I don't need to confirm the answer, it's hidden in the script."

Old God Chen Tianhong replied.

If you can’t give an exact answer, then it will lose the fun. You must know that the last scene at the end of the previous life is a classic, which has caused countless fans to argue for several years, making the popularity of "Inception" enduring.

If you really want to find the answer, you can find it, hidden in the details.However, the official script did not show the full story, and still needed to see the sub-shots. Chen Tianhong wrote the sub-shot script because he was worried that some details would be unexpected.

At this time, Guan Lu had already opened another script, and the split-shot script was for the director's reference, and it was also a supplement to the official script.

Fortunately, the sub-shots are not that complicated, and it didn't take too long to finish watching. After reading the two scripts, he took a deep breath, regardless of the delicious steak on the table, regardless of his growling stomach, sincerely Exclaimed.

"Mr. Chen, I'm really convinced, this setting, this structure is too awesome, how did your brain grow!"

Guan Lu used the most vivid words in China to express his admiration for Chen Tianhong.

It is no exaggeration to say that "Inception" is much better than "The Murder of the Ghost Bride". Not to mention how novel the setting is, the overall logic of the story is almost perfect, and even the details in the lines are considered very comprehensively. Also philosophical.

For example, since you want to influence Little Fisher's subconscious, wouldn't it be more convenient to directly implant it in the first layer of dreams, so there won't be so many dangers later.

Someone in the team also asked the same question, and the protagonist's lines were explained, [Because positive emotions are always better than negative emotions, let Little Fisher have positive emotions about the whole thing. 】.

Build a few more layers of dreams, and finally use the positive "father's will" to really affect him. If there are no layers of guidance, the task cannot be completed, and the negative examples of the protagonist's influence on his wife are also used to prove and explain.

For another example, the rigor of the story, the script and even the timeline in the dream, how to let readers correspond to the concept of dream interpretation have all been written.

First of all, the deeper the layer of dreams, the slower time passes. For example: one day in the real world, one week in the first layer of dreams, half a year in the second layer, and ten years in the third layer
And as the layers of the dream become deeper and closer to the other party's subconscious, the world in the dream will become more empty, and it will be easier to get lost and unable to distinguish reality.

In order to avoid getting lost, the dream thief will create an exclusive totem. The protagonist's spinning top can help him judge whether he is in reality or a dream. If it keeps turning, it will be a dream, and if it stops, it will be reality.

There are also ways to return from dreams to reality, such as falling from high altitudes, being killed in dreams, etc.
Guan Lu's thoughts after reading the book are not only admiration and admiration, but also excitement and gratitude.

He has reason to believe that if this "Inception" is filmed, it will definitely win the Bollywood Best Film Award, and he will also win the Best Director for it. This is why so many directors in the current entertainment circle are eager for Chen Tianhong's script the reason.

As for Chen Tianhong, the best screenwriter no longer appeals to him.

"Mr. Chen, I still have a question."

Unlike Guan Lu's excited performance, Huo Ganghua still wanted to clear up the confusion, but there was no way, no matter how good the script was, it had nothing to do with him!

"Producer Huo, let's eat first. After dinner, there is plenty of time to chat. Director Guan, you can eat too. This steakhouse is really good."

Chen Tianhong didn't want to say more, it was too tiring to explain one by one, he had talked to Liu Yifei all night.

"I"

Huo Ganghua still wanted to speak, but Guan Lu, who was overwhelmed by the script, blocked his mouth with a steak.

"Mr. Chen, when shall we shoot this drama?"

"After a while, I'm going to tell the company about the funding. I still have to wait for you and Yifei to finish filming."

"I can give up, I can speed up."

Guan Lu wanted to express his attitude. After seeing Huo Ganghua's murderous expression, he quickly changed his rhetoric.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei said something that surprised everyone.

"Tianhong, I don't want to be a dream builder!"
