You made me a superstar

Chapter 50 What did he do!
This winter seems to be very cold.

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

He shrank his feet slightly, hesitated for a while, and finally did not look at things on the bed as usual.

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

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

Characters, dialogue, format, scene cuts...

Every time he read something that he thought he could learn, Zhou Yang would slowly record it in another notebook and fall into deep thought.

I even picked up the script of "Mine Bottom" and started comparing them very seriously.

Although the script of "Mine Bottom" was written by Zhou Yang, the format of the script is really unprofessional compared to "The Crow". In addition, some key scene changes and character dialogues are not as clear as "The Crow". ...

There is no harm without comparison. At this moment, Zhou Yang realized that his script of "Mine Bottom" 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 independently, Zhou Yang felt that his writing would be messy and he would not be able to grasp the central point...

A good script in the true sense, such as the script of "The Crow" in front of you, its whole story is written around one point, and then this point is rendered, expanded, and finalized in various forms from the dialogue. A certain summary and sublimation, with a beginning and an end.

People and stories are all centered around the theme and unfolded slowly.

Compared with "The Crow", the script of "Mine Bottom" written by himself before is a bit thin. If he hadn't watched the movie "Blind Shaft" by himself, and then analyzed and compared the plot in the movie, he couldn't even write a story. it is good.

"call!"

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

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

When reading this script for the first time, Zhou Yang suddenly felt that this story was somewhat 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 have heard before...

That movie is the second movie "Blind Mountain" made by director Li Yang after "Blind Well".

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

As for other details, Zhou Yang really couldn't think of them.

Of course, he is no stranger to the matter of women abducting and trafficking. There was an extremely sensational incident in Zhou Yang's hometown in the original world, and Zhou Yang experienced it half-personally!
That happened when Zhou Yang was seven years old. It was a Sunday morning. After being imprisoned for more than a week, an abducted girl was hanging from a big tree by the pond, staring and biting. The tongue died there...

I heard that the condition of his death was horrific, with bursting veins all over his body, tattered clothes, and one bare foot.

This incident alarmed the local government. During those days, almost every day, the police station went 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 is always a dark side that cannot be seen..."

Looking back on the little things during that time, and when he read the script of "The Crow", he felt very substituting.

even!

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

But then, he began to think about the meaning of this kind of film existence.

It is a warning, but also a revelation!
"Every character in this, even if it is a supporting role with only one sentence, I have to write a short background story for them..."

"..."

Zhou Yang tried his best to recall the commentary of "The Blind Well" he had read, and he never missed even a single 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 jump cut editing!"

"Character, character! Highlight the character, this is the story of the character, not a fairy tale..."

"The story was brutal and there was clearly something wrong with the lighting!"

"..."

the next day.

Wang Shuai did not wait for Zhou Yang to come.

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, looking at the scared and shocked expressions of the staff, Wang Shuai said a lot about his requirements for the film's post-production with a blank face.

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

Qian Wei, the head of the crew, was scolded so badly that he began to doubt life in less than a day.

He feels like a piece of crap!
evening.

Thirty!
A group of post-editing staff didn't even have a mouthful of 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!

Seeing Wang Shuai glaring at each other angrily, if they didn't cut and process the film according to the requirements in the past two days, he couldn't let them go home and sleep!

Zhang Lei felt like he was living in hell!
After finally getting rid of the master Zhou Yang, he waited for the great director Wang Shuai again!
Zhou Yang is unprofessional in many places, and things that are a little blurry can't be seen, but this director Wang Da almost cuts them frame by frame!
Thirty years old...

Sure enough, they stayed up all night!

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

And Zhou Yang?
Not to mention coming over to deliver supper, but there is no phone call!

Wang Shuai was extremely upset at first, feeling like he was being tricked.

But some of them were on fire, but they couldn't get it out.

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

but……

On the first day of the new year.

The anger in Wang Shuai's heart dropped a lot.

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

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

"Those two crooks bought a broken machine to recharge their numbers, pretending to drag the crew..."

"As for Zhou Yang, he was kept in the dark from the beginning to the end, and shouldered responsibilities that he didn't have to bear at all..."

"..."

When Wang Shuai heard this sentence, he was so shocked that he didn't know what to say!
He could imagine how hard it was for the young guy in that situation to fix the camera bit by bit and make the film.

........................

February [-]th, the evening of the second day of the Lunar New Year.

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

period!

Zhou Yang never came here.

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

Wang Shuai once again had a smoldering fire for no reason!
However, after handing over the completed film to An Xiao, Wang Shuai finally suppressed the anger in his heart and called Berlin.

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

The difficulty of being shortlisted is higher than in previous editions. Huaxing alone has two films to participate in the exhibition...

"Mine Bottom", which has no publicity and no background, has a high probability of being brushed down without even watching it.

This possibility is very high.

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

It's unbelievable.

"This time, the group of Huaxia Movies are all busy and reckless 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 finished reading the script..."

The door opened.

Seeing Zhou Yang holding the script, Wang Shuai walked in honestly.

He drooped his head.

"Oh, 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, tell me."

"Which aspect?"

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

"Oh, let me start with the background..." Zhou Yang raised his head slightly, holding a stack of copies.

"what is this?"

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

"..."

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

This guy……

What did you do?
"Well, I'm sorry, Director Wang, I've been scribbling 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 various modification symbols densely packed.
