Big director

These stages are probably the same as Dugu Qiubai written by Mr. Jin Yong.

Young students respond to the first stage of Sword Demon - fierce and invincible.

Professors and scholars correspond to the second stage of Sword Demon - Ziwei Soft Sword, dexterous and clever.

The National Treasure Dean corresponds to the third stage of the sword demon - the epee has no front, which is a coincidence.

As for whether anyone has entered the fourth stage, no sword is better than a sword, Zhu Zimo dare not ask extravagantly.

Because even if he wanted to invite the masters of the third stage, he would not be able to invite them.

These people are not short of fame or wealth. If you sincerely take your "work" to ask for advice, considering Zhu Zimo's current reputation, you may be able to give pointers, but you want to pull out these national treasures?Isn't this a monkey show?Do you have any respect? !

Zhu Zimo didn't want to be criticized all over before the movie came out.

During this period of time, for the screenwriters, it was a tragedy to be ravaged!

First of all, you have to add a lot of knowledge, at least "The Analects", "Tao Te Ching", "Zhuangzi", "Guiguzi", "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and so on. You have to read these ancient books, right?

Otherwise, you won’t even understand the debate, and even if you understand it, you won’t be able to grasp the point!

Just one is enough to kill a person.

You must know that although these ancient books are very short and thin, if they are replaced by novels, the number of words in all the ancient books will not be enough for a long novel, and fast readers can finish it in two hours.

But the problem is that they are not novels!

Not only is it not a novel, it is also classical Chinese!Not only classical Chinese, but also the kind of classical Chinese that is particularly obscure!

Especially those of the Taoist school, such as the "Tao Te Ching", are simply tongue twisters!I can't understand the rhythm after reading it ten times!

After finally gaining some understanding, it is necessary to integrate these understandings, and then construct a world, put these big cows together, and finally quantify their words and quantify their specific effects-this is not those dead people. Moves, such as two people fighting, one is hit by a brick, will definitely have a bloody head, and the other is stabbed in the kidney, must fall to the ground on the spot, and the damage value is very fixed.But it can be converted into this fictional world, but it can't be so simple and rude.

The power of theory is one aspect, and the personalities of the philosophers must also be taken into account!

For example, in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhou Yu was angry with Zhuge Liang three times, and then he died of anger.Don't care if it's a joke, anyway, in this book, Zhou Yu is a relatively narrow-minded character. The same trick, if Zhuge Liang uses it on others, is likely to be harmless, but here it is a critical blow!

For example, like Zhuangzi, he resigned from office and lived in seclusion. No matter how many officials he was given, he was too lazy to be an official. He also compared being a minister to an animal dressed in brocade and waiting to be sacrificed. Being slaughtered... For such a "wonderful" character, no matter how much you talk about it, he will be like a spring breeze blowing on your face, and the birds will not bird you. Go to sleep and dream of butterflies!

So of course, just like what Zhu Zimo planned for them, first set the character data card of Zhuzi, for example, in the movie, how old is set when they appear on stage?Is it youth, or old age?

How is the image?Tall, short, fat, thin, handsome or not?Noble or commoner?Is the mannerisms more pretentious and elegant, or more "vulgar" and simple?

How is your personality?Is it the kind that will draw a knife and kill someone if there is a disagreement?Or a smiling old man?Is it the kind of unrestrained geek, or the "right way" that is strict with self-discipline?Is it the idle cloud and the wild crane, who doesn't care about everything, or the one who is concerned about the country and the people, and is very ambitious and ready to ascend to the court to pay homage?

What kind of quirks are there?What about the disadvantages?This design is to make the characters more flesh and blood, because even if these people are honored as "sages" in later generations, they must still be mortals in fact, and they will not be completely extraordinary.And as long as they are human, they will have shortcomings, and having shortcomings is not necessarily a bad thing, maybe it will make the character more popular!

How are the social relations?The intricate relationship between the sons should be designed according to historical facts, and are they bachelors or have wives and children?Is it idle clouds and wild cranes, or is there a big family dragging behind?Who is the master and apprentice and who is the old enemy?

……

All these things must be considered.

After discussing and passing the character data card, it is necessary to design how they "fight" on the basis of the character image not collapsed, and who wins and who loses in the end, and what the consequences will be.

As for the plot of the movie, Zhu Zimo has already given the outline. As long as it is still within that framework and does not go astray, the whole story will not collapse.

This is also Zhu Zimo's wisdom, because if he hadn't drawn up an outline, with this group of screenwriters who have big brains, they would have been imaginative and unconstrained. It's just a mess, and it can be regarded as a group of "jokes". However, there is no main line. When the audience reads it, they will feel confused. They don't know what these people are fighting so lively.

After all, he is a world-class famous director, so it is impossible for him to make such a mistake!

The Tao has been drawn out, screenwriters, don’t you think it’s particularly easy to handle, as long as you study the books of various schools of thought a little bit, and then listen to the live version of the debate, isn’t everything going to work?

These screenwriters collectively burst into tears: To put it lightly, you can do what you want!

Several middle-aged screenwriters have always tended to Mediterranean hairstyles, but now they are becoming more and more standardized.

Countless times in the dead of night, these hard-working screenwriters can't wait to scream up to the sky-if it weren't for the generous salary, and some bullshit theories such as self-realization and self-worth improvement...they would have given up their hands. Done!

Why is my boss so strict and difficult to serve!

But then again, if Zhu Zimo hadn't been so strict, maybe they would be even more unaccustomed to it. Look at the messy scripts out there!If you want to dawdle like that, it's impossible to join Zhu Zimo's studio, right?

Sure enough, you are Shaking S, your subordinates must be a group of Shaking Ms!If Zhu Zimo is easy to talk, maybe these people will "bully" him arrogantly...

These people live "life is better than death" every day, but Director Zhu has a very leisurely life.

When you have nothing to do, go to listen to the debates, or pay a visit to those masters, first brush your face, and leave a good impression, and it will be easier to speak up when you let others guide you in the future.

The stepping stones are all ready-made wine!

Zhu Zimo has kept this stuff for a long time like a mole preparing for the winter, except for Shen’s father and Shen mother, and occasionally his godmother’s side, the rest of the time, he is simply stingy, completely different from his usual local tyrant style take.

But it is also because he is stingy, the amount already stored in the basement is quite considerable.

Also carefully distinguish the year, what year, one year, two years...

Wine, the more it is released, the more mellow it is. The old self-brewed wine is already extremely delicious, not to mention the taste of those that have been brewed for one or two years!

Anyway, he occasionally used it to give gifts these years—of course, they were all bottled with red wine, but he was reluctant to use the wine jug—at the beginning, the recipients still couldn’t figure out how such a great director could give such a gift. Shabby stuff... But the word of mouth accumulated over the years is nothing short of amazing.

The entertainment circle is so big, and the network of relationships is intricate. Who hasn't heard of Director Zhu's winemaking talent that is stronger than his directing ability?

To receive a bottle of self-brewed wine from him would be more face-saving than anything else.

Not only is there face, the most important thing is that the wine is delicious!Also keep in good health!The inner face is complete!

So, take this as a door opener, not to mention all kinds of tests, at least a good start has been made.

Afterwards, Zhu Zimo himself has a lot of brushes - he is young, but has a lot of knowledge and great ambitions. A Chinese kid who grew up from a foreign country, but he loves the traditional culture of the motherland wholeheartedly and devotes himself to it. To carry forward these, publicize them, and let the whole world know...

In short, after chatting for a few days, most of these masters have a good impression of Director Zhu.

What he asked for advice was exactly the career he had studied all his life, and every time he asked a question, it hit the itch!You know, there are fewer and fewer young people who like traditional culture nowadays!Who still has the patience to read classical Chinese?They all feel that the things in the pile of old papers are outdated and outdated at all, so it would be better to master another foreign language with this time!

They were also delighted to meet such a studious and eager young man, so they opened up director Zhu's mind and made his preparations for this film more perfect.

When the work you do is exactly what you are interested in, life is actually very happy.

With this kind of happiness, even if he is still alone in the vacant room, Director Zhu is actually not too difficult.

From time to time, I have a phone call with Shen Pingzhang, a video, and the occasional separation is also a kind of fun~ Shen Pingzhang's filming process is coming to an end, and the script that has been difficult for a long time has finally basically taken shape.

There are still several drafts, and more than a dozen screenwriters have worked hard. They collectively expressed that when the script is finished, they will go out again, and maybe they can wear the hat of a master of Chinese studies...

Suddenly, I feel like I have become a cultural person hahaha.

Although the meaning of the words seems to be the illusion of thanking Director Zhu, but I have said that it is an illusion...

In fact, it is as bitter and bitter as it is!

Director Zhu, however, was overwhelmed, and took the script that was finally somewhat satisfactory, and left in a hurry, leaving these hard-working screenwriters with only a back that was drifting away.

Tired and feeling like I'll never love again.

Without wasting any time, Director Zhu took the script and went to ask the masters for advice.

And at this time, Shen Pingzhang, who was far away, finally set a return date!
