Chapter 125 Joining the Screenwriter

ps: Ask for the first order, ask for likes, ask for recommendations...

Lin Zhimo flew back to Xia Hai immediately after the Baodao promotion, because "Like Fog, Like Rain, Like Wind" is about to start filming.

However, on the first day when Lin Zhimo came to the crew to report, Lin Zhimo received the news that the script had to be changed.

"Director Zhao, what's going on? Why did you suddenly change the script?" Lin Zhimo came to Zhao Baogang's office with the new script and asked.

Zhao Baogang seemed to be angry just now, and said impatiently: "You don't have to think so much, just act according to the new script."

Just as Lin Zhimo opened his mouth to speak, the door of the office was pushed open, and then an angry voice came in: "Zhao Baogang, what did you mean on the phone just now! Didn't you just change it blindly? What about the depth of the script? Depth where?"

The person who came in was a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and not surprising. Lin Zhimo believed that he was Zhang Youchen, the screenwriter of this play.

Zhang Youchen couldn't help being taken aback when he saw Lin Zhimo, but before he could react, Zhao Baogang also slapped the table: "What's wrong with my changes! Will anyone watch it like before?"

Zhang Youchen immediately forgot about Lin Zhimo when he heard the words, and said steadfastly: "How can no one watch it! No one will watch a performance like yours that only has love and love! Why did you choose the 40s when you want to make an idol drama?" Wouldn’t it be better to shoot modern movies!?”

Seeing the two staring at each other, Lin Zhimo said quickly, "Director Zhao, screenwriter Zhang, don't be angry, don't be angry, sit down and talk slowly if you have anything to do, this won't solve the problem, will it?" ?”

Lin Zhimo moved over a chair and said to Zhang Youchen, "Come on. Screenwriter Zhang, sit down, do you want a drink?"

Lin Zhimo entertained Zhang Youchen as if he were a master.

Zhang Youchen sat on the chair angrily, and complained to Lin Zhimo: "Lin Zhimo, what do you think is Director Zhao? It’s okay to rework the script to make it better, but in the end all the original in-depth things were deleted, Zhao Baogang, what do you mean by that?”

The more he talked, the more angry he became, Zhang Youchen couldn't help standing up and yelling at Zhao Baogang again.

"Calm down. Calm down!" Lin Zhimo quickly pushed Zhang Youchen onto the chair.At the same time, he persuaded: "Screenwriter Zhang, it's not that you don't know, don't we as screenwriters have this fate, we are affected by this and affected by that. If a script does not change ninety-nine and 81 times, can we still get the scriptures?"

Zhang Youchen was amused by Lin Zhimo's words.In fact, he wasn't really angry. After working as a screenwriter for so many years, how could he not know the status of a screenwriter? Reforms like Zhao Baogang's are already trivial.But he was curious that Lin Zhimo said "We are screenwriters".So he asked, "Zhimo, do you know the screenwriter too?"

Zhao Baogang also came out from behind the desk, sat on the sofa and asked strangely: "Yeah, how do you say 'your screenwriter'?"

Lin Zhimo smiled and said, "I'm really a screenwriter. The movie '17-year-old Bicycle' shot by director Wang Xiaoshuai a while ago was co-written by the two of us."

Having been in the entertainment circle for so many years, Lin Zhimo naturally knows when to be humble and when to be flamboyant.Now is not the time to show how humble you are, it's time to show your experience openly.

Sure enough, after hearing that Lin Zhimo had participated in the screenwriting of a film, both of them changed their views on Lin Zhimo. From the perspective of the script, is the new script not as good-looking as the original script?"

Lin Zhimo smiled wryly: "Director Zhang..."

Zhang Youchen waved his hand, pretending to be displeased, and said, "What kind of screenwriter is it? You can call it Brother Chen. Northeast people don't have so many twists and turns." After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Baogang provocatively. Merah was in his side of the camp.

Zhao Baogang smiled slightly, completely ignoring Zhang Youchen's small gestures. After such a long time of cooperation, the two have become very familiar with each other. He knew that what Zhang Youchen said was just out of character, and he didn't have any bad intentions.

Lin Zhimo had no choice but to shout: "Brother Chen! So, I actually agree with Director Zhao's change to a certain extent, but..."

Zhang Youchen was about to get angry, but after hearing Lin Zhimo's "but", he fell silent again, waiting for Lin Zhimo's speech.

"I'll just say my immature opinions. If there's anything wrong with what I say, don't worry about Director Zhao and Brother Chen."

Lin Zhimo vaccinated the two of them first, and then continued: "First of all, I need to admit that this book is really touching. As far as the love story is concerned, it can be said to be almost perfect, and I believe Director Zhao The shooting style of this movie will definitely be beautiful, if I have to say regrets, there are only two small flaws."

"One is what Brother Chen said, there is no thickness. Since we want to shoot a love scene, we don't have to choose the love in the 40s and [-]s. Since we chose that chaotic era, we always have to reflect something, but there is nothing in the end; The second is the ending of the story. In the last eight characters, the four pairs of lovers died and broke up, and none of them had a good ending. This kind of ending will certainly shock the audience, but I think it will be overwhelming Cursed, and just like Director Zhao said, since you want to shoot a TV series that everyone likes, an entertainment TV series, why do you have to arrange such a complete tragedy? Even if you only want to break up a couple."

The more Lin Zhimo talked, the more he got in shape, and walked in the office and said: "And in my opinion, some parts are really far-fetched. In the film, Li Yingqi is also a person who studied abroad, but he didn't know that close relatives cannot marry; and Du Yunhe, as the leader of a gangster who shocked Xia Hai, actually went to kill himself with a gun and killed himself, which is unreasonable; and..."

Lin Zhimo's eloquent remarks made Zhao Baogang and Zhang Youchen look at Lin Zhimo with admiration. As professionals, the two of them naturally knew that what Lin Zhimo said was by no means aimless, and could even be said to be aimed at something Very strong opinion.The two couldn't help but look at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes.

"This Lin Zhimo is really a treasure. He has superb acting skills, great singing skills, and even a talented screenwriter, especially since he is still so young...but it's a pity that he already has a brokerage company." Zhao Baogang sighed inwardly.

A few days ago, he established a film and television investment company in Yanjing. Now is the time when there is a shortage of actors. If Lin Zhimo can be signed, the company's strength will definitely be improved to a higher level.

As a screenwriter, Zhang Youchen heard Lin Zhimo's profound literary experience from Lin Zhimo's words. You must know that a screenwriter without accumulated knowledge is definitely not a good screenwriter, and this is even more rare for Lin Zhimo who is an actor. .

It's easy to tell a story.But writing a script is not so easy.Because when writing a script, you need to be as realistic as possible. Everything you write must look like that after being filmed by the director. If you only rely on your own imagination in your mind, you can’t write a good script.

Under the surprised eyes of the two, Lin Zhimo also said to the end: "...In general. According to my opinion, this new script has a feeling of tragedy for the sake of tragedy. Although regret can give people more A lot of aftertaste. But too much is too much... In fact, whether it is a tragedy or a pity, there are many ways of expression, like the faint ones in "In the Mood for Love" and the light ones in "Half Life", aren't they also memorable? And ..."

Lin Zhimo hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Director Zhao, you know, a while ago I played a small guest role in the production team of Deep Love and Rain, and I also know something about that script, um, how should I put it... and that Compared with the script, our previous script, I think it is slightly less entertaining; but now this script seems to be too entertaining, not enough weight."

The lack of weight that Lin Zhimo said naturally refers to the thickness of history that Zhang Youchen said.

Hearing Lin Zhimo's words, both Zhao Baogang and Zhang Youchen fell into silence, without distinguishing. After all, they all know that if nothing happens, the opponents of this movie after its release next year will include "Deep Love and Rain". up.But now that Lin Zhimo said the shortcomings of this script, the two couldn't help but pay attention to it.

In fact, Lin Zhimo took some risks when he said these words. After all, every crew will ask the actors to keep the content of the script confidential when signing a contract with the actors. Although Lin Zhimo did not disclose the content of the script there, but from Lin Zhimo In Zhimo's words, the two of them could still hear Lin Zhimo's implication.

Zhao Baogang pondered for a while and said, "Then let's make changes while filming, trying to achieve some depth while satisfying the needs of the public."

If it wasn't for what Lin Zhimo said just now that had aroused Zhao Baogang's amazement and made him look at Lin Zhimo with admiration, no matter how well Lin Zhimo said "Love is deep and rainy", Zhao Baogang would not do it again The decision to change the script, but it's different now.

When Zhang Youchen heard Zhao Baogang say that depth should be taken into account on the basis of entertainment, rather than entertainment should be taken into account on the basis of maintaining depth, he would question him as soon as his face changed.

Lin Zhimo hurriedly said: "Brother Chen, what Director Zhao said is right, we don't have literary films in our TV series, and if there is no ratings, there will be nothing."

Zhang Youchen lowered his head when he heard the words, not knowing what he was mumbling about, but it was obviously not a good thing.

Zhao Baogang ignored Zhang Youchen's dissatisfaction, and smiled at Lin Zhimo: "Zhimo, I just want to wrong you, and I can't add your name in the screenwriter column in the future."

Lin Zhimo was taken aback: "Director Zhao, what do you mean..."

Zhao Baogang stretched out his hand: "On behalf of the crew of 'Like Fog Like Rain and Like Wind' I welcome you to join the scriptwriting team, and your salary will be paid as usual, but when the time comes the credits will be on..."

Lin Zhimo was overjoyed: "It's okay, it's okay, even if Director Zhao really wanted to write it, I wouldn't dare to write it, haha."

At this time, Zhao Baogang naturally didn't know how much change he would bring to the future of the show by letting Lin Zhimo join the crew on a whim.

"By the way, there is one more thing. I heard that you have written theme songs for all the TV series you participated in?" Zhao Baogang asked suddenly.

"Uh, I didn't do this on purpose, I just felt inspired..." Lin Zhimo was taken aback, he couldn't spread such words indiscriminately, otherwise what if he didn't have a good inspiration.

Zhao Baogang did not give Lin Zhimo a chance to refute, and said directly: "Then, since you are involved in both the performance and the screenwriting, and you don't bother the two masters, you will also write our theme song!" (To be continued. .)
