This villain is coming for real

Chapter 98

"Hi, I'm Xin Yukun."

Ding Hui looked at the middle-aged director in his early forties in front of him, with an ordinary face and even a bit of vicissitudes, wearing black-rimmed glasses, this was Xin Yukun who had filmed Heart Maze.

At the same time, Xin Yukun also looked at the young people in front of him, having seen his works, especially Sun Xing and Huazi, whose acting skills far surpassed those of actors of the same age.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two began to discuss the script. Xin Yukun was obviously not a sociable character, and only when the topic returned to the script did he become confident and calm.

"The biggest selling point of this drama is the reversal." Xin Yukun rarely smiled and said, "One is the reversal of the truth of the case, and the other is the reversal of the characters' personalities."

Ding Hui nodded. This is what he feels the most. It can be said that every character that appears may be a murderer, and everyone may be a suspect.

Proper Rashomon!

When the suspect locks the next person, the previous suspect is automatically overthrown.Like a flop, no one knows what the last card is?
"As for the male protagonist you created." Xin Yukun looked at Ding Hui and said seriously: "That's the biggest reversal!"

Ding Hui laughed, which is also the main reason why he likes it. The leading actor Xiao Qi, from the beginning of the movie, has shown his image as a grassroots person working hard. When he encountered an accident and started to investigate the case, people said that he has a sense of justice. When he was fired, everyone complained about him. .

Since his debut, the villains he has played have always been the same. In other words, the audience will know that he is a villain, but the way of being bad is different.

But this time is different!
I have to admire Xin Yukun's screenwriting ability, and the plot is unraveling.But it is different from the shocking reversal at the last moment of other movies, trying to give the audience a completely different ending, wishing to overthrow almost all the reasoning of the whole story.

It looks awesome, but it's actually very difficult, and it's not for ordinary people to play. In all likelihood, the result is...

It's a mess!
Witnesses are wonderful because the reasoning process is closer to real life, there is no such an absolute reversal, but a little bit of cocooning, little by little to draw new conclusions.

Just like peeling an onion, peeling off the outermost layer, what you think you see is the heart of the onion, but in fact it is just a new layer of skin, and the story is interpreted layer by layer.

What's more, the cases and information revealed by everyone are only beneficial to themselves. How do you find out the truth at this time?How to integrate this information?

"I like to show the real darkness to the audience." Xin Yukun took a sip of coffee, as if talking to himself: "In many so-called suspense movies, the evil in the end seems to come from only one point?"

"In my opinion, real life is more cruel. Almost everyone is evil, everyone is evil, there are no good people, only bad people."

"Everyone is taking advantage of others, and everyone is serving themselves wholeheartedly. Those overwhelming sense of justice, dedication to righteousness, unremitting pursuit of the truth..."

"all fake!"

Ding Hui gave a thumbs up, awesome, you are the villain behind the scenes!

"Hahaha." Xin Yukun was also very happy to receive Ding Hui's praise. For the director, the work is like a biological child, and nothing makes parents happier than praising their children in person.

At the same time, I am also full of expectations for Ding Hui. He looks young, but his acting skills are superb, especially when he controls the villain.

"Director, I have a question." Ding Hui put down his teacup and couldn't help asking, "Why is it called Who Killed Cock Robin in English?"

"Who killed the mockingbird?" Xin Yukun's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Ding Hui to notice this, and he couldn't help explaining: "This is a dark British folk nursery rhyme."

"Everyone thinks they are bystanders, but step by step they push things into an irreversible abyss. The seemingly innocent people are often the biggest accomplices."

Ding Hui suddenly realized that it was so, and he was also curious at the time, after all, the Chinese and English names of many works are not the same thing at all.

Then I looked it up, and after watching it, I realized the director's hard work. If it weren't for cultural differences and popularity, I feel that the English name is more suitable.

Looking at Ding Hui, Xin Yukun hesitated for a moment and said: "The total investment of this work will not exceed 800 million, including all expenses for post-publicity."

"The actors are all Zhongtian people, including you and Wan Qian. Of course, I am very satisfied with the two of you and look forward to the future cooperation."

"but……"

"If you have something to say, you can speak directly." Ding Hui saw Xin Yukun's hesitation, and said seriously: "It's good to be a villain first and then a gentleman."

"Actually, it's nothing, the main reason is that this work is very important to me." Xin Yukun took a deep breath, and said with firm eyes: "It may be my last work!"

Ding Hui was startled, then fell silent, recalling the heart labyrinth, suddenly felt the same way.

"The market is very realistic. The audience will only vote with their feet. Many so-called praises and word-of-mouth are fake."

Xin Yukun was depressed and said: "The heart maze is the best proof, what shit is scored at [-], what can you do in the end?"

"My family of three is still renting a house!"

"After all these years, I can't even get a down payment!"

"I……"

"Hey!"

Thousands of words turned into a long sigh in the end, and Xin Yukun didn't know why she opened up to the young man she met for the first time, but she still couldn't hold back her words.

"I understand." Ding Hui looked sincerely at Xin Yukun and said, "I really understand!"

"You!" Although there were only a few short words, Xin Yukun felt Ding Hui's heart, opened and closed his mouth several times, finally stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "Please!"

"Definitely!" Ding Hui also stretched out his hand and held it firmly. The two looked at each other and smiled, and said nothing else.

On the way back, Ding Hui fell into silence. He could feel the director’s last fight. Thinking about it, capital is cruel. Not to mention an unknown director, even Ang Lee, who has won two Oscars, failed in the box office. No one is willing to throw money at the investment.

This is the rule of the game!
The heart maze is very beautiful, the logic is very rigorous, and the exploration of human nature is very deep, but so what?
What can you do if the audience doesn't buy tickets?
What can you do if the capital does not make money?

Does everyone drink northwest wind?

Directors are all cultivators?
The reality is even crueler for Xin Yukun, probably because he has no background and connections, Heart Maze doesn't even have a serious award!

If you want box office but no box office, if you want awards but no awards, how can you make a man in his early forties with his family and his family tough?

dream?

Ha ha!

Ding Hui believes that if he fails again this time, Xin Yukun will probably give up directing. Regardless of the industry or himself, it will be difficult to persevere.

This feeling is very familiar. If I didn't get the system, where would I be now?
