From traffic to movie star

Chapter 130 The script is not acclimatized
In August last year, Wei Xun's "Story of Time" reminded many people of their youth.

Then, after the Spring Festival file "Chinese Partner" was released in theaters, there was a wave of nostalgia.

Taking advantage of this wave of nostalgia, movies, TV dramas, and even songs similar to youth nostalgia have popped up in the market, obviously wanting to follow the trend and reap the dividends.

As the leader of this wave of nostalgia, if Wei Xun continues to release a nostalgic movie at this time, it is obviously suspected of eating his old money.

Not to mention that Wei Xun's new movie is not only still youth nostalgic, but also rumored to be a comedy.

Netizens are somewhat unacceptable to this.

""The Chinese Partner" is the first, and I can't imagine Wei Xun can surpass himself with a story of the same theme."

"Recently, some people said that Wei Xun is the second to Bai Qianchi, and Bai Qianchi started out making comedy action movies, so what is Wei Xun thinking, I am confused."

"I really want to stick to Bai Qianchi, so why don't you make comedy movies, make action movies, the big brother in the movie circle, who didn't start out with action movies."

"Don't be too malicious upstairs. Just because Bai Qianchi started making comedies, Wei Xun can't make them? Just let Bai Qianchi apply for a patent for comedy films, it's funny."

"I'm a fan of Wei Xun. It doesn't matter what movie he makes. Anyway, I watch whatever he makes. But to be honest, I think Wei Xun may not have a sense of comedy in him. He is too handsome and not grounded enough, so I am a little worried."

Although Wei Xun's new movie has not yet been officially announced, but I heard that it may be a nostalgic comedy theme, and many people are not optimistic about it.

This morning, Dong Zhen knocked on the door of Wei Xun's house with the analysis of online comments and opinions obtained from the investigation.

That's right, the news about the subject of Wei Xun's new movie on the Internet was deliberately released by Wei Xun to test the reactions of netizens.

"At present, it seems that there is no big problem. It is nothing more than that everyone is a little disappointed to see that you continue to shoot old themes, and you have "Chinese Partner" in front of you."

Passing the surveyed opinion data to Wei Xun, Dong Zhen said: "But the voices of the outside world are often only for reference. You are the one who shoots the movie. You control the quality yourself. Then the voice of opposition will turn into praise. .”

Wei Xun flipped through the data sheet given by Dong Zhen, and said with a smile: "I understand this truth. Compared with previous years, my online reputation this year is much better."

Hearing this, Dong Zhen also laughed.

When she came here, she was actually worried that Wei Xun might feel uncomfortable seeing these feedbacks, but as Wei Xun himself said, these voices are nothing compared to the pressure of Internet public opinion he has endured before. .

So Dong Zhen asked: "Then I will monitor the trend of online public opinion for the time being, and guide it a little bit, but don't intervene too much?"

"Row."

Wei Xun nodded in agreement, then thought for a while and said: "By the way, there is one more thing. The heroine of "Charlotte Annoyance" will come to audition later, so don't rush away and communicate with her agent." For the following public relations issues, by the way, help me to see if this role is suitable for her."

Dong Zhen smiled and said, "Okay."

Her boss is Wei Xun himself, and Wei Xun let her participate in the work of the core team, obviously he is gradually accepting her.

And to be honest, Dong Zhen is quite curious about Wei Xun's new heroine.

You must know that after Wei Xun revealed his intention to make a new movie recently, Mao Bin's mailbox and phone are in a state of being bombarded every day, and many people are asking questions about the heroine of the movie.

Even Zhai Qing called. Hearing that the new movie was a low-budget comedy, he gave up in disappointment.

Half an hour later, Zeng Li and her manager Zhao Hui, led by Mao Bin, came to Wei Xun's house.

Medal Media is still under renovation, and there is no suitable office space, but fortunately, Zeng Li is auditioning for the heroine, so Wei Xun directly asked her to come to the door.

After seeing Zeng Li's appearance, Dong Zhen, like Mao Bin back then, felt that Wei Xun was out of his mind.

This actress is the heroine appointed by Wei Xun in the legend?

Oh no, according to Mao Bin, Wei Xun was inspired to write "Charlotte's Annoyance" after seeing this actress named Zeng Li.

Who can believe it?

Not to mention that Dong Zhen didn't believe it, even Zeng Li's agency, Sejia Media, didn't believe it. It wasn't until Zeng Li's manager, Zhao Hui, came to Wei Xun's house with her, that she felt a sense of reality.

It turned out that this pie really fell on the head of a silly girl like Zeng Li.

"Find a place to sit and read the script first."

Wei Xun motioned for everyone to sit down, and then asked Mao Bin to send the newly written script to everyone.Mao Bin has been busy recently, and this script was written by Wei Xun, so he hasn't had time to read it yet.

So everyone sat down on the sofa and began to read the script.

After a few minutes of silence, unbearable laughter began to emanate from the living room.

Among them, Zeng Li was the most exaggerated, tears came out of laughter, and when she encountered a funny line, she read it directly.

"When I go to a banquet alone, I wear chicken feathers, and my classmates wear chicken feathers. Hahaha, you are so talented."

"Charlotte's life is miserable. His father's whereabouts disappeared after he was born haha."

"Pfft, my father's name is Ma Dong. My father died when I was born, so my name is Ma Dongmei."

Everyone in the living room was laughing, but because of Wei Xun's presence, everyone restrained themselves.Zeng Li was not restrained at all. Although she tried her best to put it away, she was still trembling with laughter.

Her manager, Zhao Hui, probably valued this audition opportunity very much, so he was trying his best to wink at Zeng Li and tell her to calm down, but Zeng Li didn't receive the signal at all.

Obviously, this Northeast girl has gone crazy laughing.

Zhao Hui was so angry that he just wanted to beat her to death. Did this Huniu realize how rare this opportunity is today!
But Wei Xun looked at Zeng Li's performance and felt more and more satisfied.

Dong Zhen and Mao Bin next to each other quietly looked at each other, and they both saw the understanding in each other's eyes.

If nothing else, the heroine must be Zeng Li.The character design of Ma Dongmei is simply a copy of Zeng Li, so appropriate.

After finishing the whole script, Zeng Li raised her head, looked at Wei Xun expectantly and said, "Brother Xun, I like Ma Dongmei as a character!"

Wei Xun did not respond immediately, but asked, "After reading the script, do you have anything to say?"

Mao Bin was the first to speak, and said with a smile: "I think it's okay, it's very funny and youthful, and I kept laughing when I watched it. But some of the lyrics in it might be better replaced by classic old songs?"

"Analyzed from the role of the market, comedy films have been decompressed, so they have always had a huge audience." Dong Zhen also praised: "This book is full of jokes, and it is also very down-to-earth from the perspective of small people."

Wei Xun was noncommittal, turned to Zeng Li, and asked, "What do you think?"

"It's really funny. I laughed almost from the beginning to the end. Every character is very vivid, but I agree with Mr. Mao Bin's statement..."

When Zeng Li said this, she hesitated for a moment, and under the gaze of her manager Zhao Hui who seemed to be killing people, she mustered up her courage and said: "The absurd world in Xia Luo's dream, especially the lyrics in that world, make me think It's a little strange, without a sense of nostalgia. Maybe Brother Xun, you can consider moving this dream to the real world, using songs from our era."

After saying this, the whole living room fell silent.

Seeing Wei Xun's frown, Zeng Li realized that she might have spoken too directly, and began to regret.

But Wei Xun was not angry. He came to let everyone read the script today. In fact, he has this concern himself.

The culture is not acclimatized, and it is easy to lack a sense of substitution.

At first, according to his original idea, he made Charlotte's dream into an absurd and weird world, and then put lyrics in it, which is logically reasonable.

However, the rejection of "Journey to the West" later made Wei Xun realize that the earth and here are two worlds after all, and there are differences.

If the nostalgia and sense of the times are removed, and only the laughing "Charlotte Annoyance" is left, it may not reach the original height of this movie.

He even made adjustments to the scripts including "Wuwen Xidong" and "Chinese Partner".

So now Wei Xun has completely written "Charlotte's Annoyance" and showed it to everyone, and decided how to adjust it based on their reactions.

It's just that compared to the above two scripts, Charlotte's biggest problem is obviously not in the plot, but in the song part.

If the songs of this world can be used, authorization is required. With the current strength of Medal Media, it is a bit difficult to negotiate copyright issues with singers of some classic songs.

This is why Wei Xun wanted to use original songs before.

But now it seems that we still have to start with the songs of the original world, so that "Charlotte Annoyance" can be integrated into this new world and accepted by the audience.

　Ps:

　　In the last chapter, everyone reported the problem of the song in "Charlotte". I thought about it seriously. This is indeed something Xiaoxie took for granted, so I made a correction patch.

　　I went to climb the mountain today, and I was afraid that the signal in the mountain would be bad, so I sent out the chapters in advance.
