I really don't want to eat with my face

Chapter 58 This Script Is Not For Sale (Thanks to Xiao Sawan Rewards)

After a long time no see, Lin Yimou became very enthusiastic when he opened his mouth.

Why are you enthusiastic?Not because of "Zhu Xian".

Lin Yimou is actually very busy recently, and basically lives in the crew, but a few days ago, Wang Lang from the marketing department told him that a novel has become popular recently, and it has already started to go viral.

Every novel that is popular out of the circle must have something extraordinary, and must have the value of adaptation.

Lin Yimou went to take a look and found that it was "Zhu Xian". After a cursory look, it was indeed worth adapting.

After checking again, it turned out to be written by Xiao Lu!
But when I got home and chatted with my daughter, I found out that Xiao Lu was adapting "Zhu Xian" and started writing the script.

If someone else wrote the script, even if it was an adaptation of a popular IP, Lin Yimou would not care, but Lu Changming is different.

His "Everything is Good" has proved his ability, and the new script will naturally have to be seen for himself.

Lu Changming welcomed Lin Yimou in, and he understood his purpose by seeing his smile.

The only thing that can make the director visit is the script besides the actors.

"My dad said that "Zhu Xian" is very suitable for adaptation, and he is very interested." Lin Weixi said next to him, "We didn't bother you, did we?"

"Of course not, we are all friends, let's sit down and talk." Lu Changming asked the two to sit down, and Su Xiaozhou obediently poured tea and water.

Lin Yimou went straight to the point: "Xiao Lu, how is your script for "Zhu Xian" written? According to my analysis, the difficulty of adapting "Zhu Xian" is beyond imagination. I am afraid that no one in the industry can adapt it well."

This is not an exaggeration, Lin Yimou has a good eye, he has just glanced at "Zhu Xian" and he knows how difficult it is to adapt.

The plot can be shortened, the fighting can be stacked with special effects, but what about the relationship?
The relationship between Zhang Xiaofan and Xueqi Biguio is the most important thing. If this is not done well, then the essence of "Zhu Xian" will no longer exist, and it will only be a waste of money.

"If Director Lin were to shoot "Zhu Xian", what would Director Lin do?" Lu Changming thought about it, his eyes full of thought.

"I don't shoot, I leave it to the company to shoot, and the company will probably find a few traffic stars to attract fans, plus fans of the original "Zhu Xian", so that they can make quick money." Lin Yimou is simply ruthless.

"Why didn't Director Lin make the film?" Lu Changming asked.

"You have to know that I am an Ivy League, and reputation is more important than money. If there is no excellent adaptation of the script, I will not take the risk easily." Lin Yimou said with a smile, "Take care of your feathers."

He also sees clearly, and dare not use "Zhu Xian" to take risks.

"That's right." Lu Changming smiled slightly, "So I plan to take the risk by myself, and the movie "Zhu Xian" will be my debut work."

"Are you going to be a director?" Lin Yimou was startled, "I don't think it's right, why don't you wait until "Everything Is Good" has achieved results, accumulate a little fame, and be promoted to director step by step."

Becoming a director is very simple, as long as you have money, you can spend your own money to set up a crew, hire actors, and blind Jier will be the director.

But getting approval from others is not easy.

Lu Changming is still a screenwriter and has no experience as a director. If he wants to use "Zhu Xian" as a knife, [-]% of the time it will hit the street, and "Zhu Xian", which is likely to be a popular IP, will be ruined.

Lu Changming remained silent, went to the bedroom and took out the printed script and handed it to Lin Yimou.

Lin Yimou turned two pages with some doubts, and then looked at it seriously.

The room was quiet all of a sudden, Su Xiaozhou stood obediently, always showing the attitude of an obedient female schoolmaster in front of outsiders.

Lin Weixi put down the water glass, as calm as a virgin, and looked sideways at the script.

Lu Changming didn't make a sound, and let Lin Yimou read through it.

After a full half an hour, Lin Yimou looked up, showing surprise: "Xiao Lu, you are such a genius. I saw that your script seemed to have pictures, and a movie played in my mind."

There are pictures, which shows that the writing is strong.

Lu Changming's Lv5 screenwriting ability is not fake.

"I've been writing for more than a month, and I'm still very confident." Lu Changming smiled, hung up on himself, and worked hard. It would be too rubbish if he couldn't impress Lin Yimou.

"Xiao Lu, can I take the script back and read it? I need to take some time to read "Zhu Xian" carefully, and combine them together to think carefully." Lin Yimou got up and said, this trip is really the right one.

"Okay, but I have to shoot "Zhu Xian" myself, the script is not for sale." Lu Changming joked.

Lin Yimou smiled wryly: "Actually, there is really no need to rush as a director, it's better to be steady and steady."

He still wanted to persuade Lu Changming not to rush forward.

Lu Changming did not refute, and sent Lin Yimou and Lin Weixi away.

When the father and daughter returned home, Lin Weixi went to get something to eat, while Lin Yimou went into the study to read "Zhu Xian".

He had a rough look at it before, but he didn't look carefully at many places. He went to Lu Changming more because he saw the value of popular IPs than because he really liked "Zhu Xian".

At this moment, it seemed that there was a trace of tenderness in his wise eyes.

As if I was young at that time, the yellow cows on the high slope of the loess were lowing, the autumn wind was blowing, and I was hiding behind the slope with my unkempt hair and disheveled hair, peeping at the most beautiful girl in the village.

Pandan!

Lin Yimou took off his glasses, wiped the corners of his eyes, and then walked to the window, watching the day that had already ended.

The wind blew again, like the silk scarf used by Pandan to block the wind, blowing on my face, with a throbbing aroma—although I later learned that it was Pandan’s mother, the throbbing still took root in my face. heart.

"Good book." Lin Yimou exhaled, and continued to read "Zhu Xian".

Two days later, Lu Changming, who was looking up information about being a director, received a call from Lin Yimou.

"Xiao Lu, I've read both the book and the script. If my predictions are correct, "Zhu Xian" will be the most popular IP in the next two to three years. And your script maximizes strengths and circumvents weaknesses, and your skills are profound. It's really amazing."

"As for the shortcomings, I think you should express more things, and you can't adopt the method of condensing the plot. Although you condense it very cleverly, it will still move the audience."

Lu Changming's heart skipped a beat: "Director Lin, I've tried my best. A movie lasts about 100 minutes..."

"It is divided into two parts, 200 minutes."

200 minutes!

Lu Changming's spirit was shaken, and this time was a life-saver for the screenwriter.

But ordinary people can’t play it. First of all, the cost of shooting is much higher. Film companies generally find it difficult to accept it. When investing, they will step by step, causing great difficulties for shooting. up.

Secondly, theaters also have to consider maximizing their profits. If your first part does not perform well, there will be no film schedule for the second part.

Therefore, in the current film and television industry, there are almost no upper and lower movies. Generally, they are in the form of the first, second, and third movies. Each movie tells an independent story, and the second movie is based on the original basis. A new story, mostly irrelevant.

Moreover, this model is based on the previous box office. It is not for finishing a story at all, but for making money.

But "Zhu Xian" can't do it, it's just a story, it can't be a coincidence, and Lu Changming is not willing to take a trick, but the problem is...

"Director Lin, with my capital, it's very difficult to make a short film, let alone two parts." Lu Changming shook his head. If he didn't go home and ask for help, his little money would not be enough to find an actor, let alone two parts. Such a big movie.

"Since I suggested that you divide into two parts, I will naturally support you." Lin Yimou solemnly said, ""Zhu Xian" can make me a lot of money, and you have such an exquisite script, I can cooperate with you, and we will direct "Zhu Xian" together. "."

"Then who is the principal and who is the deputy?" Lu Changming laughed. If Lin Yimou joins in, then there will be "logistical support" for filming.

Just shoot it wholeheartedly.

Lin Yimou joked: "Hey, I'll be your chief director, do you dare?"

I don’t dare, but I can hang it up, Lv5 director has a complete set of Dzogchen realm, soaring directly in the daytime!

"Let me try?"
