What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 5 A sensible good girl

Liu Man and her sister left the crew the next afternoon. Three days later, "Nirvana in Fire" was finished and entered post-production. It was already mid-June, and Yang Shu returned to Qin Palace and Song City to continue playing tricks.

The two have kept in touch these days. After chatting for a long time, Liu Man confessed: "In addition to investing in "Langya Bang" this year, Ruhe Film and Television will start filming another costume drama "Legend of Miyue" in three months. My sister Still one of the lead actors."

This is not a secret. What she said specifically was that Ruhe Investment started filming "Lovers at the Table" with the help of her sister. With the close cooperation between the two parties, it is basically a certainty, and it is unlikely that there will be problems.

"I have already promised my sister that I will continue to be her assistant during the filming of "Legend of Miyue", so our "Lovers at the Table" must be filmed within the next three months, and then we must hurry up and make preparations for filming."

Brothers are clear about their accounts, and sisters are no exception. It's just that some accounts are not clear. After the filming of "Lovers at the Table", it may not be broadcast immediately. Liu Man will indeed have some free time, which can be regarded as a full schedule.

Since the film was completed within a limited time, the work had to be done quickly, so within two days she wrote the shot script and the shooting plan and sent them over.

The so-called storyboard script is the director's filming workbook, which usually converts a literary script into a simple picture, marking the scene, shot content, music that needs to be matched, sound, etc., so as to more intuitively reflect the director's creative intention and ideological style. Kind of like a comic.

The storyboard script was a request from Yang Shu on the top of the Xipei Hall. The purpose was to check the quality, so he was not polite. He spent a lot of effort and basically changed it from beginning to end like correcting homework. In many places, only Punctuation is original.

In fact, Liu Man's writing is not bad, and the format is neat and well-regulated, just like a serious student's homework.

However, Yang Shu couldn't be satisfied. Shooting according to this script is too naive, and the resulting effect will definitely be greatly reduced, and the charm of "Lovers at the Table" will not be fully displayed.

A work that lacks charm is worthless. This kind of situation is absolutely not allowed to happen, and it would rather offend people than make major changes.

The denial of professional ability really made Liu Man a little unbearable, and the restrained arrogance these days was also aroused: "Is my writing so bad? You don't call it revision, it's rewriting at all. Everything is done by the screenwriter." Now, what do you want me to do as a director?"

The rebound was expected. Of course, Yang Shu respected Liu Man and was grateful. Not everyone is willing to approve a script written by a dragon, which requires vision and courage.

But the quality of the work must be guaranteed. If the auction fails, it is better not to shoot. Instead of wasting time and haggling to modify after the shooting, it is better to establish a more practical working mode now.

To put it bluntly, he has basically understood Liu Man's directorial ability from the storyboard script and shooting plan, and he can't let her play freely. The best solution at present is for him to work behind the scenes and do things well in silence.

In order to avoid estrangement, Yang Shu made a special phone call and sincerely said: "I also understand the ways of the world, and I understand that I shouldn't point fingers.

But this is our first work, and we must do our best to cherish the opportunity. If I don’t make a good revision, you can do it again until it’s perfect. I believe you can understand that my starting point is pragmatic and kind. "

Liu Man could understand but was not reconciled, but she had to admit that the revised storyboard was much better than hers, so in the end she could only say some angry words: "This has not started shooting yet, my creative enthusiasm has been extinguished by you More than half."

When the enthusiasm is extinguished, you can add some fuel to rekindle it. Yang Shu solemnly promised in a moving voice full of emotion: "We are partners, and working together is the first priority. As for the internal division of labor is a secret between us, I will not tell anyone. Man, I swear."

I have been in school for most of my life, and I have never seen anyone who is really ashamed of copying homework. "Lovers at the Table" was also copied. Liu Man really cares about being known by others.

Everything was expected, Yang Shu's low profile and precise promise really paid off, Liu Man no longer babbled, and also reflected on himself: "You are right, the first work cannot fail, my sister can help me It’s not easy this time, it’s really time to be more pragmatic, I’m a little hypocritical.”

"I very much appreciate your understanding."

"You did it and thanked me? Or should I thank you."

This is really a good girl who is sensible and obedient, and a good director, so the working alliance between the two has been deeply formed.

It is easy to tolerate each other because they are all desperate. The two eliminated their suspicions and no longer divided the boundaries of responsibility and power. It took another three days to complete the plan and send it to Ruhe Film and Television. Now a week has passed and there is no reply.

Having a common secret and goal is to be one of our own. In the past few days, Liu Man and Yang Shu have been in more and more contact. Apart from work, they also talk about other things, and occasionally even ask about their health.

Although the relationship is getting closer, it does not seem to be mixed with the kind of ambiguity between men and women. Yang Shu is very rational, and defines this as a friendship that is needed for work and is easy to change over time, and he pays attention to proportion.

He has professional ethics. As a screenwriter, how can he move the idea of ​​​​a director with unspoken rules?
After getting acquainted with Liu Man, he naturally asked about his other scripts. Although Yang Shu wrote some during this time, he didn't send them to her.

After three years in the film school, he knew that the content of his creations should not be leaked easily, even the sensible and obedient beauties.

However, if "Lovers at the Table" is shot according to his intention, the chance of success is very high, so the two may continue to cooperate in the future, and it is unnecessary to say nothing.

What's more, this can show talent and strengthen Liu Man's confidence in him.

Yang Shu briefly told a few short stories, such as "Beauty Tax", and flattered him while telling the story: "We are in an era of looking at faces, and there are many beautiful women with exquisite facial features and natural beauty like you. Because of this, they enjoy various preferential treatment, adults don’t blame them for doing wrong things, and everyone can gently forgive when there are problems at work.

However, it is unfair to enjoy extra benefits. One day, the government began to adjust this due to financial pressure, and introduced a new tax policy called beauty tax.

You can't avoid paying taxes, of course, and you will be charged up to 20.00% of your income tax.

Those who can be taxed are very few people. Of course they are proud to be recognized at the beginning, but paying taxes for a long time is too much, so you have the idea of ​​pretending to be ugly to evade taxes, and the result..."

Yang Shu usually only talks about the concept of the story, and not all of them are finished. Liu Man is very interested and marvels at his creativity: "Every story of yours has a special charm, which makes people's heart beat, and I have never been in touch with it before. You are such a thoughtful person."

As a result, the relationship between the two became more intense. Two days before going to bed, she sent a message: "I have a hunch that Ru and Film and Television will reply in these two or three days. You should quit your job in the film and television city. Let's enter together." Filming in Beijing.

After filming, we will join the crew of "Legend of Miyue" together. I will be my sister's nanny, and you will return to your old job temporarily, and then we will wait for the broadcast results of "Lovers at the Table".

I believe we will be successful, and we can continue to cooperate in filming your series of short dramas. "

Liu Man is making a long-term plan. Yang Shu has nothing to choose. He has already planned that once he leaves the film and television city, he will not come back to play tricks, so he readily agrees: "Okay, I will resign when the work at hand is over. Wish us a great start.”

The next day, he went to the accountant and the group leader to settle the salary during this period, and became a vagrant.

I don’t have a lot of money, and I have saved more than 600 yuan in my card in the past three years. If I have no job or income in the future, I can sleep on the bridge hole for a year, and I will really be happy like a fairy.

He used to have a suitcase, which was so dilapidated that it affected the appearance of the city. The daily work backpack was too small to hold many things, so he went to the actor's life supermarket to buy a relatively large red backpack.

Red is good luck, and walking on the street is a red light for action.

Personal property is very little, a non-brand laptop computer for daily watching dramas and games is the most valuable, and the rest is mobile phones, chargers, and a few changes of clothes.

He neatly packed all the things worth taking away into the bag, always ready to carry it and leave.
