You Made Me a Superstar

   Chapter 50 What did he do!

   This winter seems to be particularly cold.

   Even Zhou Yang, who was wearing warm shoes, couldn't resist the chill seeping in from the floor.

   His feet shrank slightly, he hesitated for a while, and finally he didn't look at anything on the bed as usual.

   I can read things in bed, but it is more inconvenient to write and take notes.

  The table lamp illuminated the old broken wooden table, the script of "The Crow" was spread out under the light, and Zhou Yang read the contents of the script word by word.

  Character, dialogue, format, scene switching...

   Every time he reads a place that he thinks he can learn from, Zhou Yang will slowly record it in another notebook and fall into contemplation.

   even picked up the script of "The Bottom of the Mine" and started to compare it very seriously.

Although the script of "The Bottom of the Mine" was written by Zhou Yang, the format of the script is really unprofessional compared to "The Crow". In addition, some key scenes have changed, and the dialogues of the characters have been polished, which is not as clear as "The Crow". ...

  There is no harm without comparison. At this moment, Zhou Yang realized that his script for "The Bottom of the Mine" was too naive.

   He closed his eyes and imagined that if he simply discarded the known plot of "Blind Well" and let himself write a script with a similar story, Zhou Yang felt that he would write a mess, unable to grasp the center point...

A good script in the true sense, such as the "Crow" script in front of you, its overall story is written around a point, and then, from the dialogue, it is rendered in various forms, expanded, and finally carried out. A certain summary and sublimation, there is a beginning and an end.

  People and stories are all around the theme and unfold unhurriedly.

Compared with "The Raven", the previous script for "The Bottom of the Mine" written by him was a bit thin. If he hadn't seen the movie "Blind Well" and analyzed and compared the plot in the movie, he wouldn't even be able to make up a story. it is good.

   "Hoo!"

   He let out a long sigh of relief, opened his eyes, put "The Bottom of the Mine" aside, and then immersed himself in the script of "The Raven" again, and began to ponder the story of the script itself.

   This is a story about a college student named Qin Fangfang who was abducted and sold to a remote mountainous area, and then tried every means to escape.

   When I read this script for the first time, Zhou Yang suddenly felt that the story was a little familiar...

how to say?

   There is a feeling of deja vu, as if I have seen it somewhere.

   After watching it for the second time and starting to think about the characters, Zhou Yang suddenly realized!

  This script is very similar to a movie I've heard of before...

   That movie was Director Li Yang's second movie "Blind Mountain" after "Blind Well".

   However, Zhou Yang of "Blind Well" has seen it, but "Blind Mountain" Zhou Yang has only seen the movie commentary posted by some netizens on the video website, and only knows the general plot and ending of the movie.

   As for other details, Zhou Yang really can't remember.

   Of course, he is no stranger to the abduction and trafficking of women. An extremely sensational incident happened in Zhou Yang's hometown in the original world. Zhou Yang experienced it semi-personally!

That was when Zhou Yang was seven years old. It was a Sunday morning. After more than a week of being imprisoned, a girl who was kidnapped was hanging from a big tree by the pond, staring and biting. The tongue died there...

   I heard that the state of death was very terrifying, with blue veins all over his body, tattered clothes, and one bare foot.

   This incident alarmed the local government, and almost every day in those days, police stations would go door-to-door to ask for confessions.

   Later, both the buyer and the seller were arrested, and it seems that they were sentenced later, and they were on TV, and a series of detection activities were carried out in the follow-up!

   "Although the sun is shining, there will always be a dark side that cannot be illuminated..."

   Looking back on the little things that happened during that time, when he watched the script of "The Crow" again, he felt very immersive.

even!

   This is a shocking, repression from the depths of the soul, which makes people breathless.

   But then he started thinking about the meaning of such films.

   It is a warning and a disclosure!

   "Every character in this, even a supporting role with only one sentence, I have to write them a short background story..."

  “…”

   Zhou Yang tried his best to recall the "Blind Well" commentary he had seen, and he did not miss even the slightest detail.

  After he couldn't think of anything, he began to recall what he saw and heard when he was seven years old.

finally……

   He made such a decision!

  ………………………………

   "This part, use a jump cut to edit it!"

   "Characters, characters! Highlight the characters, this is a character's story, not a fairy tale..."

   "The story is brutal and the lighting is clearly wrong!"

  “…”

the next day.

  Wang Shuai did not wait for Zhou Yang.

   Not only did he not wait for Zhou Yang to come, he even didn't come when "Mine Bottom" was being edited.

  Staying in the editing room, watching the fearful and shocked expressions of the staff, Wang Shuai said a lot about his post-production requirements for the film with a blank face.

   His requirements are almost harsh, even in addition to the editing requirements, Wang Shuai will unconsciously criticize the lighting techniques during filming and the smoothness of the switching of shots...

  Qian Wei, the head of the crew, was scolded bloody, and in less than a day, his whole person began to doubt his life.

   He feels like a waste!

evening.

   Year 30!

   A group of post-editing staff didn't even have to eat a hot New Year's Eve dinner, and they were all tossed by Wang Shuai in the editing room like animals...

   Spring Festival Gala?

   Don't even think about the Spring Festival Gala!

  Looking at Wang Shuai's glaring look, they didn't finish cutting and processing the film as required in the past two days, he couldn't even let them go home to sleep!

   Zhang Lei feels like he is living in hell!

   Finally got over the master Zhou Yang, and waited for the great director Wang Shuai!

   Zhou Yang is unprofessional in many places, and he still can't see things that are a little blurry, but this Director Wang, Tetsu, almost cut it frame by frame!

   Thirty years...

   They really stayed up all night!

During the    period, An Xiao personally came over to deliver the overnight supper and chatted with Wang Shuai a few words.

   And Zhou Yang?

   Don’t come here to deliver supper, there’s not even a single phone call!

  Wang Shuai was very upset at first, and he felt like he was being tricked.

   But some of the nests are on fire, but they can't send it out.

   In all fairness, he really didn't want the movie "The Bottom of the Mine" to be ruined like this.

but……

   On the New Year's Day.

   Wang Shuai's inner anger has dropped a lot.

   "Uncle Wang, when filming "The Bottom of the Mine", all the filming equipment was broken..."

   "At first we thought it was Zhou Yang who crashed the equipment, but a few days ago, I just got some clues about the seller from the public security department. It turned out that the bunch of machines themselves are broken..."

   "Those two liars bought broken machines to recharge their numbers, and pretended to pull the crew..."

   "As for Zhou Yang, he was kept in the dark from the beginning to the end, and he was completely responsible..."

  “…”

   When Wang Shuai heard this, he was shocked and didn't know what to say!

   He could imagine how difficult it was for the young lad to fix the camera bit by bit and make the movie in that situation.

  ……………………

   February 9th, the evening of the second day of the new year.

   "The Bottom of the Mine" was finally officially finished in a burst of pain.

   Period!

   Zhou Yang has never been here once.

   As if the world had evaporated, not only did he not come, he didn't even have a phone call.

  Wang Shuai once again had an unprovoked smouldering fire!

   However, after handing over the finished film to An Xiao, Wang Shuai finally suppressed the anger in his heart and made a phone call to Berlin.

   There are a lot of participating films in Huaxia this year.

   The difficulty of being shortlisted is higher than in previous editions. There are two movies to be exhibited in Huaxing alone...

   "Mining Bottom", which has no publicity and no background, is likely to be brushed down without even reading it.

   This possibility is very high.

   After the phone call, Wang Shuai became more and more aware of the huge number of Chinese films registered for the Berlin International Film Festival this year.

   is simply incredible.

   "This time, the people from Huaxia Film are all busy trying to win by numbers..."

  Wang Shuai shook his head.

   Just as he was feeling emotional, he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

   "Director Wang, I've finished reading the script..."

   The door opened.

  Wang Shuai saw Zhou Yang holding the script and walked in honestly.

  He drooped his head.

   "Oh, I read the script for three days..." Wang Shuai couldn't help shaking his head after seeing Zhou Yang, but he still took the script and suppressed his anger: "Forget it, talk about it."

   "Which aspect?"

   "After reading the script, you can say which aspect you are best at."

   "Oh, then I'll start with the background..." Zhou Yang raised his head slightly, holding a stack of copies.

"what is this?"

   "This is the side story of the characters who have appeared in the script, as well as their growth experience and family background..."

  “…”

  Wang Shuai stared at the contents of the stack of copies in shock, his eyes widened.

This guy……

What did    actually do?

   "Well, I'm sorry, Director Wang, I painted and painted in the script again, and I can't control myself." Zhou Yang lowered his head, his voice full of self-blame.

   Then he glanced at the script inadvertently, and he saw a lot of modification symbols.
