director of the millennium

Chapter 617 Seminar

A script seminar lasted a whole day.

At the beginning, several actors were relatively reserved in front of Wu Yuan, including Huang Bo, who had known Wu Yuan for a long time, and they did not dare to express their opinions.

After all, he has never worked with Wu Yuan. Although when I met him before, I felt that Wu Yuan was a kind person, it is normal for a director to have a big contrast between his life and his work.

He also doesn’t know whether Wu Yuan is a tyrant on set like Spielberg at work.

However, when their discussion deepened, Huang Bo and others couldn't help but start talking about their own opinions on the script, some good and some bad.

As professional actors, they naturally cannot just look at the script one-sidedly. After a week of in-depth study, everyone has some own opinions on the script and the characters they play.

These views are not necessarily correct, nor are they necessarily suitable for the public, but they are definitely meaningful.

Wu Yuan is also listening carefully to their ideas. If he feels that it really makes sense, he will also make some detailed modifications to the script according to their ideas.

For example, there is a section in the script where the heroine Lu Xiaojuan sees her missing son Tian Peng in a remote village.

In the script, because this was the first time they had seen her, and it was a glimpse, Wu Yuan's description of this part made Lu Xiaojuan's performance suspicious, uncertain, and unbelievable.

She was afraid that she had just seen it wrong, that she was just missing her son too much and hallucinating. She did not react immediately, but was stunned on the spot.

But after reading the script, Tan Zhuo had objections to the performance of this part of the plot.

She feels that as a mother, especially a mother whose son has been missing for a long time, when she sees a child who looks like her son appear, she should be crazy and desperate.

She wouldn't think so much or doubt so much, she would just rush to grab the child and hold him tightly.

Only rational people would do such things, and Lu Xiaojuan, who had lost her son for a long time, had long lost her rationality. When she finally saw her son after years of searching, the rational chord in her mind had long since It broke.

Any hesitation, uncertainty, or disbelief would never happen to her.

After Wu Yuan thought about it carefully, he felt that Tan Zhuo's idea was right. After all, he had never been a father, and he couldn't understand what a mother who lost her son was thinking.

So when he wrote the script, he still had some sense and restraint of his own, which made the role of Lu Xiaojuan a bit too normal.

It's not that being normal is bad, but Lu Xiaojuan shouldn't be so normal.

There are too many mothers who have fallen into madness and even developed mental illness because of the loss of their sons. For these great mothers, their children are the most precious thing in their lives.

The mother in the story "Dear" is undoubtedly this type, otherwise she would not have embarked on the long road to find her son with the male protagonist Tian Wenjun.

Not only that, Huang Bo, Zhang Yi and others also provided Wu Yuan with many things that he had not thought of or had shortcomings from his perspective.

There is no way, Wu Yuan wrote and directed it himself. Even if he had two previous movies as a model, it would be impossible to cover everything.

First, he is not a professional screenwriter, and this is his first time doing such a fusion script.

Secondly, the two movies in the previous life were not perfect, and even had many shortcomings. Wu Yuan only tried his best to eliminate some of the shortcomings in his memory that were widely criticized by the audience when integrating them. To perfection.

In fact, even after brainstorming in this script workshop, the film would not be perfect.

After such a script seminar, not only did the script become better, but several actors also followed Wu Yuan to have a deeper understanding of what the characters they played were like, and they started filming later. It will also be more beneficial and will go more smoothly. This is why many film and television dramas have script workshops before they start filming, and there are several workshops.

It's just that the hot money flowing into the Chinese TV drama industry has made fewer and fewer crews willing to concentrate on polishing scripts and actors. Everyone is rushing to make quick money.

When Wu Yuan first debuted, eight out of ten domestic TV drama crews held script seminars.

Now the situation has been reversed, and only two or three of the ten crew members will bother to hold seminars.

In the era of online dramas, this situation will become even more serious. Most online dramas do not engage in such strenuous tasks. Only three or five TV dramas a year may hold script workshops.

However, in the film field, this tradition is still maintained well. After all, making movies does not require as much time as TV series, and the film crew also has more energy to polish themselves for the better.

"Well, thank you all for being here today."

"Then I will revise the script from beginning to end, and the revised script will be sent to you in a few days."

"If nothing else happens, the movie should start shooting on December 12th and be completed before February next year."

"It is indeed not easy to shoot in winter, but the winter season is more in line with the atmosphere of our movie."

Wu Yuan clapped his hands and said to all the actors present.

Before coming, they had already known the filming date of "Dear" and had adjusted the schedule. Naturally, they had nothing to disagree with and they all nodded in agreement.

Wu Yuan then smiled with a relaxed expression: "Then let's do this for now, I won't send you away."

After saying that, Wu Yuan walked out of the conference room with the script that he had already made full of revision notes.

He had to stay up late at night to complete the subsequent revisions of the script, but he had no time to spare.

The remaining Huang Bo and others looked at each other for a few times. They had almost finished talking and had no desire to continue chatting. After everyone exchanged contact information, they all left the era of light and shadow one after another.

Outside, as the script seminar ended, news about the starring list and launch date of "Dear" quickly spread across the Internet.

Seeing this list of actors, mainly Huang Bo and Tan Zhuo, there were cheers, dissatisfaction, and comments from all kinds of voices.

Some netizens think that the actors on this list are all proven veterans, and the works they bring together are definitely wonderful.

But there are also many netizens who have objections to these actors whose acting skills are well recognized, but whose fame and influence are not very high.

In their view, the actors who can work with Wu Yuan must be the top domestic best actor and actress, and even the first-tier actors are a bit high.

An actor like Tan Zhuo, who is only famous in a small circle of literary and artistic films, can actually become the female lead in Wu Yuan's new film. This is outrageous!

Soon, the Internet was noisy again.

Netizens are really busy.
