What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 3 A Cloud Piercing Arrow
Director An was really surprised that Yang Shu had such a talent as a screenwriter. A person who played in a group and didn't study hard, but his writing was quite solid. The perspective of overlooking life can easily give people the illusion: this work should come from a An old screenwriter with rich experience and profound thoughts.

Moreover, the theme is very creative, there are few scenes and not many actors, and the production cost will not be too high, which is very in line with the trend of online dramas.

In short, the writing is very professional, the environment description is very detailed, the camera positions and angles are even marked in the transition scenes, and the camera language is so sophisticated that it is only a matter of drawing a schematic diagram of the storyboard.

"Judging from this script, you have not only learned screenwriting theory, but also a lot of directing skills."

Director An took it for granted that Yang Shu was self-taught and had seriously studied the theory of film and television in his spare time, otherwise he would be simply a talented director.

At this time, I should be humble. Yang Shu smiled bitterly: "The performance work in the film and television city is different from what I imagined at the beginning. I need to improve myself to improve the status quo."

In fact, it is not too unexpected that the script is favored. This is a story carefully selected by him in his memory. It has love and family affection, warm and lovely.

In the original world, this drama came from a fine story in Japan's "Wonderful Tales of the World". After it was broadcast that year, it moved countless people and was very popular.

The so-called "Wonderful Stories of the World" is a TV short series covering many elements such as suspense and horror, horror fantasy, adventure science fiction, etc. After the original world was broadcast in the 90s, a total of more than 500 episodes were aired. Wonderful and wonderful little story, full of creativity.

"Lovers at the Table" has an exquisite plot structure. After it was broadcast, it stood out from hundreds of episodes. It was soon rated as one of the top ten must-see works of "Wonderful Stories of the World", and it is a representative of warm healing works.

Moreover, the plot is full of positive energy. Yang Shu also regards this work as his own expectation. Starting a business from scratch also requires opportunities, choices and patience.

In the original world, "Lovers at the Table" was broadcast three years earlier than "Langya Bang", so it should have been broadcast in this world, but Yang Shu couldn't find it on the Internet.

After further investigation, it was found that there was no "Wonderful Tale of the World" here at all. The reason is unknown. It may be that the original producer's parents were passive and sabotaged one night decades ago and did not give birth to him, or it may be that some trivial matter interrupted , As a result, the producer's creative spark did not burst out, and he failed to think of this creative idea.

In short, "Wonderful Stories of the World" does not exist in this world. Fortunately, the poplar tree crossed over and brought this kindling, which is a great blessing for human cultural undertakings.

As his first work in this world, he had considered producing a more exciting work. The suspense and thriller seems to be easier to make a blockbuster, and it is also the best theme of the "Wonderful Stories of the World" series.

The film and television policies of the two worlds are similar. At present, the content review of traditional dramas is under the responsibility of the New Radio and Television Administration, which is relatively strict, while online dramas are supervised by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which adopts a self-examination and self-examination system, and the scale has been relaxed.

However, after careful consideration, Yang Shu still chose "Lovers at the Table". Everything is difficult at the beginning, safety comes first, and there is a bottom line for self-examination and self-examination.

Another very important point is that An Dao is more interested in love themes, and the web dramas he filmed before are all in this area, since the submissions have to match his preferences.

As expected, Director An liked it very much, flipped through a few pages, and said without hesitation, "Your book is really good, it's the best book I've got in the past two years."

Yang Shu had been observing An Dao's reaction, and then he was slightly relieved: "Thank you, Sister An, for your advice."

"Don't be so polite, your writing is really good, I will find a way to photograph it."

"real?!"

This is really a bit of a surprise, I didn't expect Director An to agree so simply, usually the director would have to discuss with the producer and investor first when he got the script, and he would reply when he was sure.

It is not easy to start shooting a work now. The film and television market seems to be prosperous, and various content emerges in an endless stream. In fact, the life of screenwriters is not easy. The main reason is that the supply of scripts exceeds demand, and it is in a collective bottleneck period. There are few good works and mediocre ones. Many creators have to work part-time jobs without enough food.

"Thank you so much, Miss An..."

Director An's promise is too important, maybe this script is a cloud-piercing arrow, which roars and shakes the rivers and lakes, and his career of playing tricks has come to a successful end.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me," but before Yang Shu finished speaking, Director An added: "I'm just a small director of Shandong Film and Television Media, and I need the approval of the unit to start filming. But this book is not a big problem. As for copyright, For issues such as price and whether the content needs to be fine-tuned, let’s talk about it in detail after the higher-ups agree to make it, okay?”

This turn is fast enough, but a director within the system really does not have decision-making power. It is very good that today's submission has reached this point, and it is a very good start.

"Okay, everything will be arranged by Sister An."

"This script is quite mature, so it's not the only one, right?" Director An was really interested: "Nowadays, a single-episode web drama is not easy to catch on, and web dramas are already developing into traditional movies and TV dramas. The content is rich enough."

It is true that web dramas must be filmed, multi-episode, and serialized to have a future. Yang Shu cheered up and introduced: "Sister An is right, I currently have a lot of script plans, and they are all novel short stories. Write it out one after another, and then make it into a series.”

"What series?"

"A series of collections of various strange stories like "Ten Days Talk" can temporarily be called "Wonderful Events" or "World Surprising Moments."

Most of the stories in "Wonderful Stories of the World" can be copied over, but the title of this episode has a Japanese flavor, so it cannot be copied over.

Director An laughed: "Your ambition is not small, and you are planning a series. The name "The World's Surprising Moment" is an imitation of Ming Dynasty Ling Mochu's "Chu Ke Pai An Surprise", right?"

Yang Shu also laughed: "Everyone is a collection of stories, the key is that the content is good-looking."

"It's good to have a long-term plan," Director An didn't continue, "But let's figure out "The Lover at the Table" first, and then we can think about the next step."

She said some words of encouragement, and reassured Yang Shu: "Don't worry, a good girl will never worry about marrying. If our group doesn't make this book, I will help you find another way."

It's boring to continue to say polite words that are not salty or not, Yang Shu imitated the etiquette in Langya Bang, put his hands in circles and raised his hands to his forehead, and bowed deeply: "Sister An's kindness, let me repay it later!"

Director An's appreciation may indeed be of great help, he said this sincerely.

"Slick tongue," An Dao smiled and knocked him on the head with the script: "Why don't you talk about knotting grass and holding rings?"

The next few days continued to be busy with the filming work, and Yang Shujing waited for the good news to be rushed, and he didn't dare to be really free in his free time, so he began to slowly sort out other scripts and make preparations for the series early.

In his plan, "The Lover at the Table" is just a stepping stone, and he never dreamed of accomplishing it overnight, and he still has a clear understanding of this.

However, there was no news after waiting, and it was not until a week later that Director An replied six words during the filming interval: "Don't worry, don't worry."

Yang Shu couldn't help but be in a hurry, "Langya Bang" will be finished in a few days, don't wait until the end to get water from the bamboo basket, there are many people in the film and television industry, and there are too many foolish things.

He could only comfort himself that the rules and regulations of large groups were more complicated, and the application process would take some time.

In another three days, the filming of "Langya Bang" is coming to an end. In the back garden of the Han Palace Scenic Area, there will be a nighttime rivalry between the male and female protagonists at around [-] o'clock tonight.

All the crew members got busy, Hu Ge and Liu Tao took their positions, and the makeup artist and costume artist began to make the final check.

The costumes and makeup of this play are good, in the style of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Although the shape does not completely conform to any historical period, the wide-clothed robes and belts are exquisitely decorated, and it is exquisite to look at.

However, today's temperature is nearly [-] degrees, and the two leading actors didn't put on their thick fox fur coats until the last moment.

Hu Ge has already entered the state, with a melancholy and preoccupied face.

Liu Tao was much more calm, because he held props in both hands, so he asked his assistant Liu Man to feed her water with a straw thermos.

Director Kong Che was born with a listless appearance and lack of sleep, but his voice was very loud, and he shouted at the director: "The light should be farther and darker, and the contrast should not be too big. The background is completely lost by you!"

Yang Shu, dressed in black night clothes, with a ring-shouldered sword on his back, crouched alone on the roof of the West Side Hall like an assassin, watching all this from a commanding height.

Just now, taking advantage of Hu Ge and Liu Tao's make-up gap, he has already filmed action scenes for more than an hour. He was hung up and flew to the Xibei Hall. The filming has not been finished yet, so we have to wait for the male and female protagonists to finish filming before continuing.

The lights on the scene were half dimmed, the director was still shouting, Hu Ge continued to think deeply, and Liu Tao was still drinking the water that Liu Man fed.

I heard from the crew that the assistant Liu Man said was actually Liu Tao’s uncle and sister. The two look very similar, but they are ten years younger than Liu Tao. Just out of society, he is in his early 20s just like Yang Shu.

She looks so pretty and looks very similar to her sister, but she studied directing instead of acting. It seems that she didn't intend to take advantage of her star face from the beginning, which is a bit wasteful.

After graduating, Liu Man did not find a job. Liu Tao’s two children were only six or seven years old, and it was very hard to take care of the filming crew. So she has been helping out as a personal assistant for most of the year. on site.

The big star's replica younger sister is of course very popular in the crew. Several male stars, big and small, circle around her after filming, trying to curry favor with her.

Of course Yang Shu understood what these scumbags were thinking, he didn't want to get involved, and besides, he was not qualified to join them.

But Liu Man is like her sister, although she looks kind and sweet, she is actually not very easy to get in touch with. She treats people a little coldly, and sometimes she doesn't even care whether others come or not.

Yang Shu was a little tired, took off the ring head knife, relaxed his body and lay down on the glazed tiles on the roof of the hall, staring blankly at the night sky in a daze.

The cool night wind blows the aroma of willow leaves and silver osmanthus, with a touch of sweetness in the fragrance.

The black and blue night sky is silent and gorgeous, the golden stars are bright and far away, and the entire Milky Way is shining and rotating slowly, just like the starry night described by Van Gogh.

There are still four days left for "Langya Bang" to finish, but Director An still didn't reply.

We did meet this afternoon. At that time, she greeted her with a smile and seemed to have something to say, but she was called away by the producer halfway.

"It's been ten days or so, should I use my script?"

Yang Shu decided to ask An Dao directly tomorrow, but he had to find another way if it didn't work.

At this time, Director Kong shouted and got a little angry: "This camera guide rail is not good, change it quickly!"

"Poplar tree?"

Unexpectedly, someone below also called him, and the echo echoed in the antique Xipei Hall, which was amplified a lot.

Yang Shu was startled, got up and responded in a low voice, "I'm here."

Looking down from the corner of the eaves, there is a girl standing on the steps shrouded in silver starlight, it is actually Liu Man.
