What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 4 A Wonderful Fragrance
Liu Man raised her head, her chiseled face glowed with a faint silver glow, her starry eyes were bright, and she looked even more beautiful than her sister.

The front of the hall was empty, and Yang Shu looked her around before asking, "Did you call me just now?"

Liu Man smiled sweetly: "Yes, just wait for me."

After a while, footsteps were heard behind her, and she also entered the room.

This kind of filming house has stairs directly to the roof, which is very convenient to go up and down. Even in such a palace-like building with a height of more than five meters, few girls dare to go up.

Yang Shu was a little strange, he didn't understand why this beautiful girl climbed up to the top of the temple to find him.

"It's quite windy up there." Liu Man walked carefully on the tiles: "Aren't you cold?"

It was indeed a bit windy at night. Liu Man put on a blue windbreaker over his dark gray casual clothes. He was refreshing and capable. His hair was tied behind his head. In the night, his face was as translucent as suet jade.

This concern was a bit abrupt, Yang Shu went up to him with a ring knife in his hand and helped him: "It's not cold, be careful."

Liu Man was very enthusiastic, and handed over the pink kettle in his hand: "I have hot water here, soaked red dates and American ginseng, try it?"

The kettle should be the one that Liu Tao sucked just now, and there is an obvious purple-pink lipstick mark on it.

Liu Tao plays the princess of the King of Yunnan in the play, the wizard commander in charge of [-] frontier cavalry in the south of Daliang.

Liu Man's hospitality is a bit fascinating. If Liu Tao sees his special water bottle being sipped by others, he will have to get mad on the spot.

Yang Shu stared at the lipstick for three seconds, and finally shook his head: "I still don't want to taste it, what do you want from me?"

"Yes, let's sit down and talk. I'm worried that I'll lose my head." Liu Man sat down first, "I'm taking the liberty to bother you tonight because I want to talk about your script "Lovers at the Table."

There was starlight in her eyes, and she looked at Yang Shu brightly, full of excitement: "Your script is very well written, I like it very much."

Excuse me, I like it very much, she has been in the costume drama crew for too long.

Yang Shu was more and more surprised, why did the script of "Lovers at the Table" be transferred to her?
"A few days ago, I went to Sister An's room to read the script of "Lovers at the Table" by chance, and I was moved at that time."

Liu Man said that her sister Liu Tao and Director An have always had a good relationship, and they have known each other since filming "Dragon Ba Bu", and this time they will stay in the hotel together on the same floor.

Could it be that her sister Liu Tao has taken a fancy to the role in "Lovers at the Table" and plans to act in it?

This seems unlikely. With Liu Tao's current status, he probably won't take on this kind of single-episode web drama again.

Yang Shu sat down beside Liu Man, carefully placed the ring-shou knife by his side, and instead of being clever, he gave her a typical surprised expression: "You want to talk about the script?"

"Yes," Liu Man also replied in surprise, "You still don't know? Didn't Sister An tell you?"

Looking at her appearance, Yang Shu suddenly understood what was going on: Director An probably couldn't make "Lovers at the Table", so he transferred the script to Liu Tao.

This is very common in the industry. If An's application to Shandong Film and Television Media for approval fails, then it is considered useful to transfer the script to other related companies that are willing to shoot. shoot out.

Liu Man really said: "Sister An gave me "The Lover at the Table", you really don't know?"

"I don't know," Yang Shu shook his head, "I haven't talked to Sister An in the past two days."

It seems that I guessed it right. It is hard to understand why Shandong Film and Television could not like such a good script of "Lovers at the Table". In the afternoon, I met Director An and seemed to have something to say, but he was called away. During filming, Yang Shu You can't bring your mobile phone, you may miss communication because of this.

Liu Man looked stunned: "No wonder I was so cold when I met you tonight, and I ignored you when I greeted you. I was still puzzled."

Before Liu Tao started to put on makeup tonight, Yang Shu had already dressed up and was ready to go to the room for shooting. He passed by the two sisters and didn't pay attention to her greeting at the time.

She is usually the one who ignores people coldly, but it must be very depressed to be slapped in the face today.

Liu Man's expressive ability is good, and he quickly explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly, which was different from Yang Shu's guess.

After An Dao got the script, he immediately applied to the group, and the higher-ups were very keen on it.

However, after "Nirvana in Fire", the original crew started to shoot "The Pretender", and Director An was still the assistant director, so the production department suggested that she give up "Lover at the Table", and let other directors in the group take over the filming.

Two days ago, when Liu Man learned that Director An couldn't shoot, she ran to ask for the script. Unexpectedly, she agreed, and then immediately found an excuse to withdraw the application from the group and forwarded the script to her.

"It's just so lucky," Liu Man said that the excitement has not subsided: "I have already sent the script to BJ Ruhe Film and Television. This company is also one of the producers of "Langya Bang" and has always had a good cooperative relationship with us. , it shouldn’t be a problem to start filming, and I will direct the film by then.”

The "we" she said should refer to Liu Tao's company. All celebrities have their own companies, and most of them have more than one company.

Unexpectedly, these days "The Lover at the Table" has entered two film and television companies successively, and Yang Shu's eyes are straightened.

He can understand why Director An gave up the script to Liu Man. The scenes he can't shoot, of course, he would rather give it to outsiders than fatten other directors in the same unit who are in competition. This is the workplace survival of Ning and Youbang instead of family thieves law.

I can even guess how she withdrew the application, most of which blamed the script writer, claiming that Yang Shu had changed his mind.

This matter is mixed, but the good news is that there is finally news that "Lovers at the Table" may finally start filming.

What is worrying is that Liu Man just graduated from a half-baked film and television college last year. Although he studied choreography and directing, he is still a novice with no works. Don't let this movie go to waste.

But this is all for later. As long as the shooting can start, everything can be discussed, and there should be a way to guarantee the quality of the shooting.

"Great!" Yang Shu was happy from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you for appreciating my script."

"I should thank you for writing a good script." Liu Man extended his hand enthusiastically, "I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

Yang Shu shook her soft white hand vigorously: "Happy cooperation!"

At this time, Director Kong finally adjusted the team, and shouted from below: "Attention all departments, keep quiet, and prepare to start shooting!"

Liu Man changed from his usual cold and arrogant attitude, and his attitude was quite approachable. He lowered his voice and asked Yang Shu a few questions.

"Why is there such a creation, and where did the original inspiration for the script come from?"

"How long did it take you to complete the script from planning to writing? Have you ever pitched to other companies?"

These questions are silly and full of student spirit, and she also said: "Just now, while my sister was putting on makeup, I watched your martial arts show on here. "Such a warm and affectionate work."

Yang Shu didn't know how to deal with it. Director An obviously explained a lot to Liu Man, and she asked seriously: "I heard that you have created a lot of scripts and plan to make a series, can you show me first?" ?”

Now the situation has changed, but Yang Shu is more cautious: "Of course it's okay to watch, but my scripts are not yet mature. Let's figure out "The Lover at the Table" first. If the audience likes it, we can make follow-up works. Otherwise I'll have to go home and pat my head."

Liu Man was very enthusiastic: "Okay, let's shoot "Lovers at the Table" first, and the audience will definitely like it. Even my sister said that you are a very talented person after reading the script."

Liu Tao is notoriously picky about scripts, and it's not easy to get her praise.

Liu Man was very talkative, saying that she had filmed a lot of sketches when she was in school, and her graduation work was a short play put together by her classmates. Strictly speaking, "Lovers at the Table" is her commercial debut, so she attaches great importance to it.

In the night, she brushed her hair from time to time, and twirled her snow-white index finger while talking, as if she was playing with something.

Observation is the basic skill of a director. Yang Shu noticed before that this is her habitual action when she is nervous, just like Liu Tao must drink some water before shooting.

It is human nature to long for success, and it is understandable to be nervous, and the two can empathize with this.

She turned her head to look at Yang Shu, with a strand of soft hair still fluttering in the wind on her forehead: "My sister has another scene tomorrow morning, and then our filming of "Langya Bang" will be over, and we will leave for Shanghai in the afternoon. I will negotiate the start of filming as soon as possible, and as for the copyright of the script, I will try my best to get a good price for you."

In fact, Yang Shu didn't have too high expectations for the price of the script.

Now the living environment for screenwriters is very poor. Directors with some ability start to write and direct themselves, or buy novels to adapt. A gold medal screenwriter spends a year and a half writing a book, and the highest price is about 50.

But that is a gold medal screenwriter, and there are not many in the country. According to the popularity of ordinary screenwriters, a movie script is about [-] to [-] yuan, while the online drama is much lower.

It only takes tens of thousands of dollars to write for one or two years, and the income cannot be guaranteed for a long time. It is really better to find another job.

On the contrary, the situation of TV dramas will be better. After all, there are dozens of episodes at every turn. A well-known screenwriter can earn tens of thousands a year.

Therefore, film and television is an industry with a particularly strong Matthew effect. Winners take all and the strong get stronger. Once they stand on the top of the pyramid, they will gain both fame and fortune.

If Yang Shu couldn't reach the top of the tower, it would be an embarrassment to the world of crossing.

Liu Tao's play is over tomorrow morning, and the two probably don't have time to meet again, so they added WeChat to each other and exchanged contact information: "Contact more, let me know if you have any news."

Liu Man stood up cautiously: "My sister's scene tonight is not long, and the filming will be finished soon. I have to go. I hope we can meet again soon."

"Goodbye." She smiled at Yang Shu, turned around and opened her arms to balance her body, and stepped on the solid fake glazed tiles to the ridge of the temple.

"Goodbye," Yang Shu also stood up, looked at her back that was about to disappear on the other side, and finally reminded: "After your storyboard script is written, we will discuss it before handing it over."

Discuss with the producer about the start of shooting, not only to provide a literary script, but also to prepare a shot script and shooting plan. These all reflect that the director's level determines the fate of the work, and it is not acceptable to write in a mess.

Liu Man turned around and waved, smiling brightly under the starlight: "Okay, I'll send it to you when it's finished, keep in touch."

The black shadow disappeared in a flash, the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus in the night wind became stronger and stronger, and the brilliant starry sky was still spinning and shining, Yang Shu stood there a little stunned.

"It's such a wonderful fragrance."
