China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 29 Irritability
He Hua was depressed for two days and then ignored it, saying, I can't lose a piece of meat anyway, anyway, it's already like this, a dead pig is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.

Mainly because he was busy talking with the publishing house about the publication of "W Two Worlds".

From late December last year to now, he finally finished the book. In fact, the novel was almost finished at the end of February, but there is still a little feeling, which is the illustration.

To be honest, He Hua likes to do illustrations too much. Not only can he present the screen of the novel, but it can also bring a qualitative leap to the whole book.

So it took He Hua a month to communicate with Mir, a cartoonist introduced by the publishing house, about the style and picture he wanted.

The communication with the publishing house is also quite smooth. As of mid-March, He Hua's first novel "The Sky of the Wind Dog" has sold 62 copies according to the publishing house.

The 60 copies in less than half a year, although it is inseparable from the credit of marketing, but the quality of the book is the fundamental reason why the book can continue to sell well, so they are very optimistic about He Hua.

They attached great importance to He Hua's new book and directly increased the royalties to 10%. Although the royalties are not as high as Han Han and Guo Jingming, they are already the prices of top-tier writers.

He Hua is very satisfied. The 6% copyright fee of "The Sky of the Wind Dog" has brought him about 120 million profits so far. After tax, there will be continuous income from subsequent printing.

Now mentioning 10%, this is his second published book, and he is already very satisfied.

The two parties quickly completed the signing of the contract.

After the signing, the publishing house quickly took out the publicity strategy that had been formulated during this period of time and communicated with He Hua. He Hua had no objections, and even agreed to the last signing that he resisted.

He Hua has changed his thinking now. Before, he felt that writers should keep a distance from readers.

What they like is my book, they don't need to know about me, so they don't want to come in front of people.

But since he experienced the scolding battle with Chen Kaige, he really thinks these book fans are silly and cute.

Even when it was the most serious, more than half of the messages in the backstage of the entire blog were scolding him, and his fans and readers were also insisting on encouraging him, telling him not to be discouraged, not to care about other people's words, and to be himself.

So let’s be a bit more tired if the book signing is tiring. It’s also good to give readers a chance to meet and communicate.He Hua thought to himself.

The people from the publishing house left, and left after confirming the official release time with He Hua. "W Two Worlds" Han Zhongliang set the official release date on April [-].

This time is a bit tight, less than 20 days from now.

To make promotional materials, I contacted distributors from all over the country to see samples to confirm the order quantity. It was very urgent, so they left in a hurry.

He Hua didn't care much about these things, professional things must be done by professional people, and he didn't understand these things.

He Hua's next goal is to write the script of "Latent" TV series.

The creation of scripts is not the same as that of novels. The expression method of scripts is mainly dialogue, and it cannot be written language, it must be spoken language.

Whether a script is good or bad, the most basic thing is whether the dialogue of the characters is colloquial, and then on the basis of colloquialism, the lines are artistically processed, refined and sublimated.

Unlike novels, the narrative of the story can be completed by depicting characters, telling stories, describing the portraits and psychology of characters, describing the social and natural environment, explaining related characters and historical backgrounds, and so on.

In short, as a screenwriter of a film and television drama, you cannot write anything that cannot be shown in the camera.

The requirement of the script for the screenwriter is to write any imagination and character into the picture, and write it into something that can be expressed with the lens.

He Hua had only done experimental script writing before, which was basically an assignment assigned by the teacher.

It's really a bit nervous to start a big project like "Latent" for the first time, but it doesn't matter, if it doesn't work, just watch it a few more times on the player.

He Hua first listed the main characters:
Yu Zecheng: A patriotic young man who is optimistic about the future and longs for marriage.The personality is calm, the language is subtle, the speech is cautious, and the voice is soft.

Wang Cuiping: A rural woman who has no culture, no upbringing, and the dregs of the soil, but devotes herself to the revolution.Be careless, go straight, work hard, have firm beliefs, and be as wise as a fool.

Lu Zongfang, Zuo Lan, Wu Jingzhong, Li Ya, Xie Ruolin.

He Hua tried his best to recall his impressions of each character, filling in each word. After the list was finished, he would watch the TV series again and slowly dig out the details.

The days passed while He Hua was busy at work.

At the end of March, He Hua went to the movies with his roommate again.

He hasn't watched this movie yet, although he can watch it on the player, but it's a treat and it's a group activity in the dormitory, so of course he went with everyone.

What's the point of watching a movie by yourself? It's only when there are more people going to the theater together.

I didn't expect much at first, after all, the quality of the current movie is really touching.

After 03, the film market is better, but the films that make money will always be a little bit on the top of the pyramid. 90.00% of the films are losing money. Many directors cannot get investment, and the quality of the film is difficult to guarantee.

But today this film brought many surprises to He Hua.

This movie is called "Two of Us", and it was directed by Ma Liwen, an alumnus of their Chinese opera. It is just a simple story:

The lonely old lady and Xiao Ma, the female student student of the tenant, gradually develop feelings in the day-to-day relationship.

But director Ma Liwen used her unique shooting to show the audience the delicacy and fun of life:
The courtyard house in winter is dead silent, closed, gray and cold.The old lady at this time was indifferent, guarded, and picky.

The director adopts a stand-up shooting method, changing the position with each shot, and the old lady can't see a step at all, standing there stiffly, staring at the intruder girl Pony through the window (the demarcation line of war) like a spy.

But at this time, the pony is ignorant of world affairs, in a hurry, and on a rampage.Always moving fast, always running, always accompanied by various sounds.

In the gray and cold old courtyard, a pony with red cheeks, a red sweater, a red telephone, and a red hut came in; in the dead and silent old courtyard, an unstable person doing Brownian motion came in, embodying conflict and disharmony everywhere.

In the eyes of the old lady, the pony is a wandering fire, dangerous; in the eyes of the pony, the old lady is a narrow cage, oppressive.

The whole movie does not rely on dramatic conflicts to organize and advance the plot, but uses life bits and time fragments to express.

Several roommates were full of praise for this film, and Liu Zhonglun said without hesitation: "Chen Kaige should really learn from it, and see how our Chinese opera directors make movies."

Gao Jian hurriedly stopped him: "You can just talk about it in front of us, but don't talk about it outside, or you can take responsibility for stirring up confrontation between the two schools."

"As for what?" Liu Zhonglun muttered.

He Hua returned to the dormitory and opened the blog:

"The Two of Us" is a surprising movie, I recommend everyone to watch it, I went to the movie with my roommate today, I was very happy.

There will be a message immediately below:

Why don't you go with Liu Yifei?

Ma De, this is going to be hard, isn't it?He Hua was irritable.
