This director needs to apologize

Chapter 346 If you give me enough money, I won’t refuse anyone who comes.

Chen Yiming's words did not make Zhao Xiaotao feel that he had solved the problem. The girl's brows were still furrowed. After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "Director Chen, I heard that this book is based on the story you told, so what do you think? What do you think of my role?”

Chen Yiming chuckled, "The basis of the performance is the script. The stories I tell only have male and female protagonists, and there are no female best friends at all."

Zhao Xiaodao immediately lost his face when he heard this, obviously shocked by the character's thin presence.

So Chen Yiming "threatened", "Isn't your attitude disrespectful to Director Fu? Why, don't you look down on Xiangrui's writing ability? Don't forget that Director Fu wrote and directed all of her movies. "

Zhao Xiaodao heard that Chen Yiming was joking, so he didn't panic at all. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I just think that after adding a secret love line, the whole book looks too sad. Everyone in the film is unhappy. Rather than saying It is the pursuit of great love, rather than the pursuit of obsession in the heart.”

Seeing that Chen Yiming was listening carefully, she felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and said, "After I came up with this idea, I read the heroine's lines at the end, and I felt that the happiness on her lips was forcibly convincing me. Of course, it may and does mean to comfort the male protagonist.

The effect of these words is just to provide a reasonable motive for the male protagonist to let go of the female protagonist. I don’t quite understand this motive. If you really love her to the extreme, can you let go completely once you know that the other person is happy?
And has the male protagonist really grown up? I doubt it. Because the logic of his second chase is the same as the first one, and it still stems from love at first sight. "

Chen Yiming sighed inwardly. He has been working hard for more than ten years as an extra to reach his current achievements. He is really good at it. His analysis of the script alone is much better than that of most students from the three major schools.

When Chen Yiming watched "500 Days with Summer" in his previous life, he had similar feelings to Zhao Xiaodao, and also questioned the logic of the male protagonist's behavior.

"Director Fu may not add a secret love line to your character because she thinks it should exist logically. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it exists or not. Real life is diverse and does not follow logic.

So "Summer" actually uses a romantic touch to tell a clichéd concept. If a man wants love, he must first have a career. This sentence is not true, but in reality, this is how men view others, the opposite sex, and the world.

When Xiangrui discussed the script with Chen Yiming, she also recognized the underlying logic explained by Chen Yiming. However, she is a woman and her perspective is inherently different from Chen Yiming. On the contrary, she felt that the story was very dreamy and worthy of being made into a movie.

At that time, Chen Yiming laughed and mocked Xiangrui, saying that she was defending cheating and extramarital affairs. Xiangrui admitted it happily, and said that the objective existence of this phenomenon cannot be simply denied because of immoral evaluation in reality. Dream creation must also comply with the Basic Law. .

I think her idea is to discuss an idealized view of love, which is persistence.

Chen Yiming has no interest in making a movie specifically to illustrate this truth. This sentence is too realistic, and he feels it is incompatible with a movie used to create dreams.

Jonzef's changes in "Summer" fall into the latter category. The original film greatly simplified and abstracted the social relations between the male and female protagonists, trying to discuss the different genders' views on love within an extremely simple framework. view.

Don't think that career and love must be integrated into one. Rationality and logic cannot govern the emotional world. In fact, women separate bread and love very separately. A good life is one thing, and the pursuit of love is another. There is no necessary connection between the two. "

Xiangrui refuted Chen Yiming at the time, "If you don't have a career, you don't deserve love. This is what men take for granted. It exudes the arrogance of the strong taking all. This is not what women think, let alone do.

However, this kind of discussion that strips away social relations is obviously unsustainable. After several pulls and turns, the director still had to restore the male protagonist's career to the story. The original film is from the perspective of the male protagonist, which only describes Jonzef's denial and dissatisfaction with his current job, without touching on any of the woman's needs and wishes.

However, thinking about it on the other hand, under the premise that most of the variables have been removed, is there anyone else besides the heroine that makes Jonzef feel crisis at this moment?
The answer is obvious. The reason why the male protagonist gave up his willful and persistent "interest" and returned to the old job of dusting off that he once disliked could only be the female protagonist's rejection, and the root cause was his lack of confidence in his own strength.

So he retells Xiangrui's "script interpretation" of him at that time to Zhao Xiaotao. To be honest, he doesn't agree with it, but Zhao Xiaotao is also a girl, so maybe he will resonate with it.

It is like a social experiment, removing most variables and attributing the emotional changes of the male and female protagonists to a few subjective factors, such as appearance, interests, living habits, etc.

The discussion basically couldn't go on at this point, because it would hurt the feelings to talk about it any more. That's why Chen Yiming said that "500 Days of the Summer Solstice" is an auspicious story and has almost nothing to do with him.

This is why Chen Yiming defines "500 Days with Summer" as a love education film.

Chen Yiming likes to explore the growth of characters in movies. This growth is mainly the maturity of mind and the evolution of three views, rather than a simple increase in strength.

Don’t you think the male and female protagonists and female best friends in the film all have such a quality?

The male protagonist believes that love at first sight is love, and it has not changed from the beginning to the end. The female best friend you play regards companionship as love. As for the female protagonist, who can say that the requirements for the character and ability of the other half are not a kind of What about persistence? "

Zhao Xiaotao listened thoughtfully, and Chen Yiming saw that his rhetoric seemed to be working, so he quickly patched it up, "Of course, this is just my personal opinion. Director Fu's real intention requires you to discuss it in depth with her." Girl He smiled and changed the topic directly. His emotional intelligence was indeed high.

"Director Chen, thank you for being willing to listen to what I have to say. You are the least aloof director I have ever seen."

Chen Yiming laughed and said, "You are holding a pig's head at the wrong temple gate. It was Director Fu who asked you to act in the movie, not me."

Zhao Xiaodao waved his hand and said, "No, no, of course I'm grateful to Director Fu, but she's very busy, so I don't dare to disturb her. When I was acting as a sidekick in the past, I even went to the director when I couldn't figure out the lines. They're not like you. Patience always sends me away in a few words.”

Chen Yiming was speechless. I have nothing to do here, so of course I don't mind chatting with you. If you enter the set of "The Thirteenth Floor", the security guard will tell you what it means to be on the set of Director Chen to ward off evil spirits.

Chen Yiming didn't believe that the young man in front of him didn't understand this, but he was willing to support you, so it would be unreasonable to expose him.

So he raised the corners of his mouth without saying anything and turned his eyes to the monitor.

Zhao Xiaotao was very sensible and read the subtext of Chen Yiming's "serving tea to see off the guests", but before getting up to leave, she asked one last question.

"Director Chen, do you have any advice for me? Now I get all kinds of advice every day, and I really don't know who to listen to."

Chen Yiming looked the girl up and down, and then said, "Don't blame me for speaking too bluntly, your background is not suitable for making movies.

It’s not that your acting skills are not good, but the current environment in China is quite harsh on actresses, and there aren’t many scripts that reflect the diversity of actresses.

You made a good choice in this book of Xiangrui. It is a rare role that suits you, but it is difficult to excel in this kind of role, and you may not be satisfied in your heart.

Unfortunately, even such roles are rare on the market now, and it is not cost-effective to focus on them during the rising period.

So you might as well take advantage of the good momentum now and choose more good dramas with your heart. The national popularity may not be worse than that of An Xixi.

If you really want to make a movie, you can earn enough money to save the script yourself, find someone to tailor a script for you, and let others act according to your needs. "

Youdao's advice is harsh to the ears, and no matter how high his emotional intelligence is, Zhao Xiaotao's face shows clear dissatisfaction, "Then when the time comes, can I make a reservation for Director Chen?"

Chen Yiming spread his hands and said, "No problem. If you give me enough money, I won't refuse anyone who comes."

Zhao Xiaotao turned around and walked away, seemingly very angry with Chen Yiming.

With the conscience of heaven and earth, Chen Yiming speaks the truth. He is very optimistic about Zhao Xiaotao's stardom. His appearance and temperament are so recognizable on the small screen. She is one of the very few actresses whose leading female roles can be equally recognized by male and female audiences. .

Therefore, Chen Yiming very much recognizes Zhao Xiaodao's ability to pay. To some extent, he can even be compared with Xiaoqi, because both of them are the type with outstanding advantages and disadvantages. They are extremely picky about scripts and partners. Chen Yiming has a broad premium. space.

Such good customers are not easy to find!
Although the girl was angry, Chen Yiming was not worried. The seeds had been planted. When Zhao Xiaotao hit the wall, he would naturally think of Chen Yiming's words.

I opened my laptop and surfed the Internet for a while. When the sky was getting dark, Xiangrui finally stopped working and started to have dinner together!
The treatment is different when filming in my hometown. A high-end dinner for dozens of people is just a matter of a phone call from Xiangrui.

During the dinner, the "scandal" between Chen Yiming and An Xixi was naturally the main topic of discussion. Xiangrui drank Chen Yiming hard under the banner of "abducting the heroine", and Chen Yiming drank the wine willingly.

Liu Dongjun was dumbfounded by the skyrocketing number of fans on his Weibo. In fact, he himself did not reap many dividends from "Love Letter". Most of his Weibo fans were the result of the accumulation of fans since "1951", and "Love Letter" fans accounted for only one. For a small part, there are almost no so-called CP fans.

As a result, the number of personal fans gained after "Love Letter" was released was not as high as the number of fans gained by "Love Letter" this time, which made him feel very embarrassed.
