I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 318 316. Evil Woman (23) Thanks to the leader of the "Ragnarous" boss!

The matter of Liu Yifei was completely settled after the contract was signed in black and white and the fingerprint was pressed.

Now even Liu Xiaoli couldn't say anything more.

This is the daughter's own decision.

From a series of behaviors, she also saw her daughter's determination.

that……

There is nothing more to say.

I just hope she doesn't regret her choice.

Looking at the daughter who was talking and laughing with Yang Mi, words that would never have appeared in her heart emerged in her heart.

At noon, we all had a meal together.

Then in the afternoon, Liu Xiaoli left.

Instead of returning to Xiangjiang, he returned directly to Yanjing.

Xu Xin didn't worry much about the next thing, he was just helping Xu Yang read the scripts received by Nifeng.

In all fairness, the quality of the script...

Quite average.

This is the truth.

But this is also normal. A small company that has just been established is not well-known in the industry, and it can't win over any particularly famous screenwriters.

The uneven quality of the script is evident.

Including Xu Yang and the others didn't have any sense of gap.

Because this is the rule of this circle.

Moreover, most of these scripts are based on personal aesthetics. Anyway, they are all at a small cost, so they should be spent to increase experience.

but……

From this, Xu Xin saw a very interesting story.

The name of the story is "The Deal".

It is about a love story between a girl who feasts and feasts, and a child.

However, the quality of the script as a whole is not very good.

It can only be said that the story is very fresh and anti-routine.

And it's a... sort of redemption story.

Its core idea is the story of a child who spends 500 yuan, hires a bartender girl to act as his "one day" mother, and then goes to hold a parent-teacher meeting.

During the period, the tragic life experience of the little boy was mixed, such as being an orphan and his parents died.Boys have hallucinations cognitive impairment or something.

Anyway, how miserable it is.

And this girl who accompanied the wine was also a very "bitch". At first, she lied to the child for money, but after she gradually learned about the child, she felt guilty and approached the child.

Slowly, little by little, the two people warmed each other up, and finally gave both parties a story of redemption.

To be honest, in his opinion, the script is full of lengthy paragraphs.

And very routine.

Including the acquaintance between the girl who accompanied the wine and the little boy because of a drunkenness, and a child in elementary school who was able to help a girl who accompanied the wine home... This kind of storyline of "picking up corpses" made Xu Xin feel embarrassed and cancerous. Guilty.

The whole story shows a very routine, contrived, and even hypocritical traces.

It looks very contrived.

Xu Xin didn't like this very much.

But...he liked the idea very much.

The kind of story where two people warm each other and redeem each other... He likes it very much.

I even had the idea of ​​creating my own.

But this idea was immediately stopped.

He's not going to be so lowly as to plagiarize or something.

But the story has a strong sense of redemption.

The type he would love to try...

After thinking about it, he dialed Xu Yang's number.

"Hey, Sanjin, how fast are you watching?"

You see, demons are metropolises after all.

After half a year, when the two called, Xu Yang knew how to use Mandarin.

"No, I've fallen in love with a script. Have you read the script "Trade"?"

"I've seen it, that's what I chose. I think this story is very touching~ It's not expensive, it sold for 3 yuan~"

have to.

In less than three sentences, he revealed his stuff again.

"Please help me contact this screenwriter."

"Want to shoot?"

"This version of the story is definitely not good, the script is too pretentious and pretentious. I think the screenwriter is Yao Ting, right? Girl? You told her that I like the theme of her story, but I don't like such a pretentious story. Ask Can she change it? If she can, she can be more natural... Forget it, let her contact me directly, and we can talk. "

"Hurrah."

"Well, if the script can be changed to my satisfaction, you guys will make this investment... It's okay, this kind of investment should not be big, basically no problem."

"Ah, isn't it just money. You can do it~"

"Hahaha~ Okay, let's put it that way, let her contact me."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the script in his hand, thought for a while, got up and walked out of the study.

When he went downstairs, he found that Yang Mi and Liu Yifei were watching "The Legend of Condor Heroes"...

I don't know what way to do it.

but……

"Yifei, here it is."

He held the script in his hand and handed it to her.

"This is……"

Liu Yifei took it subconsciously, and Yang Mi also looked over.

"It's an interesting script. The story line is so-so, but I like the theme."

Hearing his words, Yang Mi asked:

"What are you talking about?"

"A story of a barmaid and a child."

"...?"

Yang Mi was taken aback:
"Accompaniment girl?"

"Correct."

Xu Xin nodded:
"It's about an escort girl who charged a child 500 yuan, pretending to be the child's mother for a day, and helping the child to hold a parent-teacher meeting... It's a story with a bit of redemption, and I think it's not bad. But the storyline What... It's bad. I was chatting with Xu Yang just now, and the role of the wine girl is worth digging into. If this story can be changed to my satisfaction, then Yifei can try it. She's very down-to-earth. Role."

"Well……"

Yang Mi thought about it and asked:

"Didn't you tell Director Zhang that you plan to settle down?"

"Precipitation does not mean staying away from movies."

Xu Xin gave her a strange look:
"If you come across a story you like, then shoot it. Besides...it's not sure whether to shoot it or not. I'm not very satisfied with the structure of this story. Some parts are sensational and unnatural...I want a better one. Cutting point, a better storyline. So far, the quality of this script does not meet my requirements. So I have to change it... Let’s treat it as a topic for class. After filming "The Wind", I want to try it this time Try a natural shot style..."

Before the words finished, Zhang Jiao's phone rang.

"Brother Xu, it's a Yanjing number, an unfamiliar number."

"Go ahead, ask what it is for."

Zhang Jiao nodded:
"Hello, hello?"

"...Okay, wait a moment."

Covering the phone, Zhang Jiao said:
"She said her name was Yao Ting, and she was the screenwriter of "The Deal."

"It's pretty fast..."

Xu Xin picked up the phone:
"Hello, screenwriter Yao, hello, I'm Xu Xin."

"Xu... Hello, Director Xu, I take the liberty of disturbing you."

When Xu Xin heard her voice, she seemed to be quite young, so he smiled and said:
"It's okay, I should say that. It's like this, screenwriter Yao, I read the script "Trading" and I like the theme of the story very much, but I think the plot of the script you designed is very ordinary. Can you change it? Is it?"

"..."

Yao Ting on the other side of the phone was silent for a while before asking:

"Director Xu, do you... want to shoot?"

"Yes, but I don't like the overall story very much. But I like the warm colors in your story. However, there are some limitations, and some storyline transitions are too blunt, and the main story of the little boy and the street girl It’s too routine. Can you change it?”

"Yes. Can you give me some ideas?"

"..."

Xu Xin was taken aback.

"May I give you ideas?"

"Uh...you...haven't either?"

"... Screenwriter Yao, this story is written by you, I think you should be more familiar with it?"

Hearing this request, Xu Xin was really speechless.

"No, no, Director Xu, you misunderstood me. In fact, I also know that this script has some plot problems... I also want to improve, but I have no idea. Even to tell you the truth, this script did not start at all. There are not so many plots, but after I finished writing all the stories I wanted to write, I realized that it was a bit nondescript.

It's just... its length doesn't support it being shot as a movie, but more like a short film like your "Not Drunk".But I felt it was a pity to shoot a short film, so I tried to add and extend some stories to it, and it was barely the length of a movie... So I was also very uncomfortable, because I lacked some ideas.So... I hope you can provide a direction, and I will redesign it. "

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Yao Ting on the other end of the phone quickly explained.

But Xu Xin also frowned.

because……

He has never encountered such a thing.

"Not Drunk" is a script he designed himself, but he went there for his winter vacation homework at the beginning, so he didn't even think about making a longer filming in the past.

The script of "Secret" was designed by Jay Chou himself, and it has a fairly complete story frame.

Not to mention "The Wind", it is adapted from a novel.In the adapted script, a series of stories other than "Qiu Zhuang" in the original novel were discarded.

Therefore, although the films he has been exposed to have increased or decreased, but he has not encountered such a thing of "expanding an idea into a film".

It's pretty outrageous.

This screenwriter Yao designed a story himself, but found that the story was too short, and then copied some stories into it, and saved the length of a movie?

After figuring this out, Xu Xin thought for a while and said:
"That is to say, outside of the main story line, those plots that seem contrived to me... are you forcing them into it?"

"……um, yes."

Xu Xinxin said good guy.

Just say why these storylines seem so hypocritical...

After thinking about it, he said:
"Then... so, how about you try to change it first? I'll also think about this idea here to see if there is any inspiration. This is my contact information. You can save it, and we can keep in touch at any time?"

"Yeah, okay, Director Xu!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xu Xin hung up the phone.

Then start scratching your head.

"what happened?"

Yang Mi, who had been listening to his phone calls, was a little curious:
"What forced you to squeeze in? What were you talking about just now?"

"This story, the screenwriter found out that the time was not long enough, so he mechanically incorporated some plots... It's outrageous!"

"Uh……"

Responding to the meaning of her lover's words, she said tentatively:

"Then why don't you show it to the factory?"

"This matter can't be found in the factory."

Xu Xin shook his head directly:

"This is a script from Xu Yang's side. If we want to invest, it must be their side to invest and operate. We can't directly go to the factory to cooperate with others. It's not suitable. But..."

Following Yang Mi's meaning, he nodded:

"Your thinking is right. Although this screenwriter is the creator of the story, it feels a little unreliable to me. I really need to find another screenwriter...I'll give Director Zhang a call."

With that said, he went straight to the backyard and lit another cigarette.

But he didn't call Zhang Yimou directly, but Zhang Mo:
"Hey, Sister Mo, is Director Zhang filming?"

"No, it's windy today. It's very strong. It stopped for a day... My dad and we are together. You can just say what you want.... Hey, what's the matter?"

Hearing Zhang Yimou's movements, Xu Xin asked:
"How is your progress there?"

"After Yan Ni came, the progress was much faster. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Obviously, Zhang Yimou didn't want to say anything more about "Three Guns".

The obvious stuff...

What else can we talk about?
"It's like this. I've taken a fancy to a script. It's about a girl serving a bar and a child..."

After talking about the content of the script, including the screenwriter, he continued:
"I don't think this screenwriter is very reliable, but I'm quite interested in this story. But I can't find the factory for this kind of thing, because the script has already been bought by Headwind. So... I want to ask Let me ask you, let’s see which screenwriter is good at this kind of story, and let’s work together to complete this script. That screenwriter Yao has no idea...it’s outrageous that he still counts on me."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yimou said:

"This kind of thing is very common. Some young screenwriters lack experience in controlling the story and often come up with a lot of good ideas, but once they enter the screenwriting stage, the grade of the story will drop drastically...The story has already been bought? "

"Correct."

"The other party is not particularly persistent about the right to adapt, right?"

"Well. Otherwise, you wouldn't ask me for ideas..."

"Okay, I'll introduce you to a few screenwriters... But this also reminded me. It's time for you to form a screenwriter team of your own."

Hearing Zhang Yimou's words, Xu Xin was stunned, and said:

"Write stories specifically for me?"

"Neither. First, you need a literary advisor, if not many."

"...Like helping you discover "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins"?"

"Correct."

Zhang Yimou responded:
"There are many stories written by authors in the physical book market every year. You can't read all of them, so at this time, you need this kind of literary consultant to help you discover them. Otherwise, let you read them one by one by yourself. , Don’t be exhausting? And you use these literary consultants to discover some books you are interested in and recommend them to you. After you get them and think the story is good, then hand it over to a screenwriter who is good at a certain subject in the screenwriting team. This is A set of procedures~"

"Well……"

Hearing this, Xu Xin thought for a while and said:
"Where are these people found?"

"Recruitment is enough. Let the news out in the circle, and people will come over. I don't recommend you directly ask for recommendations, because this is also a process of finding a team that suits your style. Use a sieve over and over again, and pick out over and over again.

Moreover, now there are not only physical books, but also some books on the Internet, or particularly popular stories, etc., you can also let people help you discover them.Every screenwriter has his own creative bottleneck, and your team is not dedicated to serving you.As long as everyone is like-minded and can help you when you need it. "

Xu Xin was instantly awakened by those words.

"You mean, I should also form my own team?"

"Yes, a diverse team. It's like Xiying Film Studio. If you want to adapt something with the main theme, or a story with a strong local complex, then you must have no problem finding them. But if it's like some stories that are more suitable for young people , if they want to meet the appetite of more people, they may not be able to handle it well...

Form a team, the success of two films is enough for you to gain a firm foothold in this circle.Someone will vote~ And this story... I suggest that you can use it as a touchstone and let them try it. "

Xu Xin's eyes lit up completely.

"Okay, no problem!...Then I'll talk to Yang Mi right now."

"Well, remember not to spread the stall too much all of a sudden. It's easy to arouse suspicion from others."

"Don't worry, I understand."

Xu Xin responded with a smile:
"Then if the preparations are ready, let Sister Mo come over?"

"Row."

Zhang Yimou readily agreed.

After Xu Xin, whose mind was completely opened, returned to the room, he told Yang Mi about the matter, and Yang Mi nodded:

"Okay, let's wait until the blind selection is over. After entering the team competition, let's go back to Yanjing and start preparing for this matter?"

"Ah."

Xu Xin nodded, and then asked by analogy:
"Speaking of which, do we still need a TV drama team?"

"Well……"

Yang Mi is thoughtful...

……

The blind selection of "The Voice" lasted for a week.

At the end of the week, there were only 180 players left in the blink of an eye out of 72 players.

The remaining 108 people were all eliminated and left the guest house of Xiying Studio.

The room was suddenly empty.

Next, the production team of the show began to work hard.

Naturally, it is impossible to edit all of the 180 people's blind selection scene into the variety show, so the time will definitely be exceeded.

So Yang Mi decided on a total of six edits.

It is destined that someone will not appear on the screen.

But this is also impossible.

The draft is a game, and the game has winners and losers.

Being eliminated under the premise of ensuring that there is no shady scene is purely due to his lack of ability.

After the blind selection, the next core idea of ​​the team competition is the internal assessment of the four mentors and judges.

Xu Xin specially designed a boxing match venue.

Not to mention, the implication is quite interesting.

Someone wins, someone loses.

The winner advances, the loser goes home.

Under the increasingly cruel competition mechanism, there are also tidbits of four mentors guiding the players.

But this is not recorded at Xiying Studio.

After communicating with the four mentors, they put the recording locations in their respective "homes".

Xiangjiang, Wanwan, Yanjing, Beijiang.

Every mentor team should show the characteristics of their respective teams as much as possible.

The whole preparation period is half a month.

Half a month later, the team competition started directly into groups.

On the day when the blind selection recording ended, the young couple returned to Yanjing, and at the same time released news in the circle:

"Director Xu Xin is looking for literary consultants and screenwriters."

As soon as the news came out, the mailbox of Shuangwei Entertainment received a large number of resume submissions...

Yanjing is the main place of residence for entertainment practitioners, whether they are screenwriters, directors, or related practitioners, there are quite a lot.

Not to mention Xu Xin's appeal.

"The Wind" will be officially released in four or five days.

Today's box office has exceeded 3.1 million and is moving towards the 3.2 million mark.

Of course, it is definitely not comparable to "Transformers 3.5", which has already broken 2 million, but it still firmly holds the top spot in the box office of domestic movies from the beginning of the year to the present.

Who wouldn't want to come here?

This is a new star with unlimited potential!

For this movie, Yang Mi and Liang Bingning are the first to bear the brunt.

Liang Bingning will not mention it. With Xiying Studio as a backer, all the avenues of drama have been opened.It's kind of like "showing your true nature".

There is no doubt that the mentality of a strong woman is obvious.

Yang Mi's acting skills have also received unprecedented recognition.

Facts have proved that this post-85 generation, one of the four new female roles, has absolute box office strength.

The role of "Gu Xiaomeng" was destined to become a highlight in her acting career!
And this "heavy ink and heavy color"...is not considered a TV series.

Not to mention TV dramas, whether it is Zhu Wushuang, or Tang Xuejian in "Sword and Sword III", which has been in full swing on local TV stations recently, has further proved her unshakable status as an absolute heroine.

Although……

The quality of "Chinese Paladin III" has been criticized by many Chinese Paladin fans.

how to say……

It modifies too much game content.

If I really want to list them one by one, it is simply full of slots.

Whether it's Solanum nigrum played by Liu Zhishi, Zixuan played by Tang Yan... or even Sedum played by Hu Jian.

Is "Sword and Sword III" popular?
It's really hot.

There are many handsome men and beautiful women, as well as Yang Mi. Coupled with Tang Ren's excellent management strategy, more local stations will bloom, which has the meaning of starting a prairie fire.

However, when it was in full swing, it caused dissatisfaction among countless fans of "Sword and Sword III".

And the main reason is that they don't respect the original work and the characters!
A few simple examples: In the game, the force value of this group of people is very high. There is no such thing as the heavy building being unable to defeat the evil sword fairy. The heavy building as the ceiling of combat power directly crushed the evil sword fairy. In the play, it's the other way around.

Moreover, Zixuan in the game did not seduce Chonglou, and in the end it was Zixuan who sacrificed herself to seal the demon-locking tower.

It’s not a big deal, the nightshade is the one with the most extreme magic reform. In the game, the nightshade will never harm Xuejian because of jealousy or anything, but in the TV series, it almost kills Xuejian.

This provoked the dissatisfaction of a large number of fans of Xue Jian and Solanum nigrum.

Therefore, since the beginning of local broadcasting, the word-of-mouth of the entire "Sword and Sword III" has begun to decline rapidly with the extension of the plot.

In the end, he directly caused overwhelming abuse in Baidu Post Bar.

but……

In this overwhelming abuse, Yang Mi became a white lotus.

"Sword" bar official announcement:

"Xuejian played by Hei Yangmi is prohibited, otherwise all speeches will be silenced."

And the reason why Tieba can issue such an announcement is also very simple.

Yang Mi buried too many details in this drama.

Whether it's some small movements that belong to Xuejian that are deliberately restored, or those lines that are almost restored according to what Xuejian said in the game...even the real and real ones that can be said to be reproduced almost one-to-one. The kind of character that "misses me, Miss Tang Tang, the Tang family"!

All let fairy sword fans really have a kind of...

Xue Jian has a sense of sight that has really come alive.

This kind of drama that respects the original, restores the original, and plays its own style has won the unanimous approval of all players!

That's why there is such a wonderful scene in the post bar, "If you black the TV series "Xianjian III", then we will be good friends. But if you black Yang Mi and Heixue see each other, I will kill your whole family".

Unknowingly, Zhu Wushuang's shadow seemed to fade a lot from Yang Mi.

The figure of Tang Xuejian, the eldest daughter of the Tang family, seemed to overlap with her.

Black "Sword and Sword III" does not black Tang Xuejian's wonderful post bar scene came into being.

However, the leading heroine in "The Wind" HOLD the audience, and the alternative and popular Tang family lady in "Sword and Sword III" seem to make people forget the fact that this girl is already a wife and mother.

Yang Mi's popularity, just this August, with the ending of "The Wind" and the highs and lows of "Sword and Sword III", it's like riding a rocket...

Just like that...

On a new level!

And this momentum caused some people in the circle to scratch their heads...

This reaction...

It's not like an actress who is going to be a mother soon... She should be in the limelight.

Yang Mi...

not to mention...

Kind of wicked.
