Before dawn the next day, Zhang Ze got up with director Yan Bian and went to Sanwanshu Elementary School to talk to the school leaders about filming.

They filmed a script about urban youths going to the countryside to support education, and they needed to borrow the school's venue to film.

The school is naturally one of the most important scene elements in the whole play.

Their stories describe that young intellectuals fall in love with a beautiful girl in the village when they go to the countryside, and soon develop into a relationship about marriage.

In the end, the male and female protagonists found out that they were brothers and sisters, unable to accept such teasing by fate, so they threw themselves into the river and died in love one after another.

It caused the tragedies of the two families, and also showed the entanglement of the fate of the two generations.

The prototype of this story comes from "Thunderstorm", and now it has been adapted into an [-]-episode TV series script by the strict editors of the younger brothers and sisters. The selling point is the poignancy of love and the twists and turns of the fate of the characters.

The lines of the plot are outdated and clichéd, and the plot rhythm and story perspective of a large number of Hong Kong and Taiwan TV dramas are applied, in order to attract the ratings.

At that time, the inland TV dramas naturally couldn't compete with Hong Kong and Taiwan Qiong Yaofeng.

The first reason is that the inland film and television industry is not well-developed, and the second is that the directors at that time did not actually have the concept of making money when they made films. Most of them were products of the planned economy system. No matter what.

With this kind of awareness, Yan Bian felt that the future film and television dramas would definitely not develop like this, so he was very unconvinced, thinking why the dignified people in mainland China would pay a lot of money to watch something that was filmed in such a tiny place.

He held back his breath, feeling that there is no shortage of good actors, good directors, and good screenwriters in the mainland, so he didn't believe that the things he had filmed had no market yet, and he became the first batch of people in the mainland to learn from and learn from Japan. One of the directors of the Taiwan-Singapore series, although he has not become a very well-known director, it has a guiding role in his future development in the film and television industry.

After accepting the script, Zhang Ze felt that there was still a market for such a story among teenage young people. After all, the male and female protagonists are as beautiful as flowers, and the love story is extremely touching. The filming is good, but there are still some ratings. Word.

But for the principal of a rural primary school, it may not be acceptable.

So he approached Editor Yan, saying that he wanted to add a character to the play.

Yan Bian, with a look of sleeplessness and gloom, stood at the gate of Sanwanshu Primary School in the twilight of the morning, and asked Zhang Ze with frowning eyes, "What do you mean? Add a character, what to add, our budget is not enough, Where else can I hire actors?"

Zhang Ze said, "Don't worry, just listen to me."

Yan Zhan shrugged his shoulders and sniffed, the morning in the countryside was cool and smelled of straw smoke.

He said, "You say."

Zhang Ze said, "I think our script is enough for urban people. Urban people do not lack food and clothing, and need to pursue spiritual life. But now we are looking for the principal of a primary school in the country to borrow a place to film. For the principal of an elementary school, I am afraid that he has no attractiveness and selling point, or he cannot understand the selling point and theme of our drama, such as love and love, and the people's teachers feel extremely corrupt from the bottom of their hearts. , we should find a selling point that can attract the school leaders to support us in filming, and convince them that this will be conducive to the progress of our filming. Otherwise, like yesterday, after talking for a long time, others would not lend us the space, wasting time and energy, but also be hated by the villagers."

What Zhang Ze said was well-founded, and after listening to the editor Yan and screenwriter Chen Ming, he couldn't help feeling that it was right.

The screenwriter tentatively asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

Zhang Ze said, "We borrowed the venue from the school. We should emphasize that our script is written for the cause of education. For example, the theme is to express the dedication and love of the people's teachers, or the students' learning conditions are difficult, but they still study hard and work hard. The point of reading for the rise of the nation. In this way, the principal will be tempted after listening to it. Let’s do what he likes. Praise the soldiers on the front line of the education cause so that everyone can talk together. Do you think I’m right? ?”

Chen Ming thought about it and thought it was good. Looking at Yan Bian, he frowned and thought, looking very deep, but he didn't immediately object arbitrarily. From this, he knew that Yan Bian also felt that Zhang Ze's words made sense .

Then he asked, "Then you want to add a character, how do you plan to do it?"

Zhang Ze said, "Our crew has no money, so we can recruit young actors from the school for free. Children don't value money. They think it's interesting to be on TV, so they will definitely come to audition. We told the principal that we want to make a patriotic educational film, highlighting the importance of the people. The teacher loves the students and educates the students well. They say they want to use their venues and their school students to do publicity. The benefits are bigger and the influence is exaggerated. If this is the case, in this way, it is guaranteed to succeed!"

Zhang Ze said with a look of excitement, it was he who thought about it last night and came up with this idea.

I woke up this morning in good spirits, and regardless of the terrible stay last night, there were mice and cockroaches crawling all over the room, I couldn't help but immediately told the editor Yan and the screenwriter, and before I got their consent, I felt that My own idea is wonderful.

Screenwriter Chen Ming is an honest person. After hearing what Zhang Ze said, he thought it made sense, but when he heard that he was going to brag and fool him, he had experience in writing scripts, but he still felt guilty about exaggerating or even deviating from the original intention of the script to promote the script.憷.

Can't help saying, "It's not good to exaggerate the real theme of the script, after all, our film is based on love, not on people's teachers..."

Zhang Ze interrupted him and said impatiently, "Oh, you are stupid! We just used this banner to persuade the school leaders, but as for the actual filming, it is up to us to decide. Besides, we don't need to give the principal's attention to the filming. Looking back, he doesn't know what we're filming at all. As long as we can talk to him and borrow the venue, we will achieve our goal. If we don't think of a way to hurry up, we don't know when the filming will start Well, if the crew stays for one more day, that's one more day's expenses."

Zhang Ze mentioned money, which made Chen Ming speechless.

He also knew that the production crew was short of funds, so he was timid and didn't pay attention. After listening to Zhang Ze's words, he looked at the director with his eyes, and saw that Yan Yan had been pensive and serious from the beginning. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. Knowing that he disagreed with Zhang Ze's opinion, he didn't dare to speak casually, so he shut up and waited for the director's instructions.

Zhang Ze finished speaking, and after waiting for a while, I don't know if it was his idea, or if he said that the crew's funds were tight, it caught Yan Bian's heart. After he frowned and pondered for a while, he raised his dark and terrifying eyes Look at Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze was not afraid of the darkness and deepness in his eyes at all, he still smiled with a pair of peach blossom eyes. After the two looked at each other for a while, Chen Ming, the screenwriter at the side, saw him like this. He didn't know what the two were thinking, but Seeing it made him feel a little guilty, the more he looked at it, the more hopeless he became.

At this time, Yan Bian's deep and powerful voice sounded, "You kid, if you don't do film and television promotion, you will bury your talent."

Zhang Ze shrugged his shoulders, and arranged himself in this way without caring.

He raised his eyebrows as if nothing had happened, and looked at Yan Bian.

After a pause, the editor Yan ordered, "This idea is very good, I think it will work. The most urgent thing is to borrow a place to film, and it is useless to say anything else. Chen Ming, you immediately add a young actor's play to the script. This character To be positive and pitiful, it is best to have a background such as physical disabilities or the death of parents, so that it is easy to reflect the simplicity, kindness, and overflowing compassion of the people's teacher."

Then he said, "We used this as a selling point to convince the principal that we are engaged in the film and television business for the future of the motherland's education. Zhang Ze is right. The reason why we failed yesterday was not because the villagers didn't trust us, but because the villagers didn't trust us. It’s because we haven’t found common interests with them, if I had thought of this earlier yesterday, I wouldn’t have been unable to borrow venues.”

Seeing what he said, Zhang Ze couldn't help but agree with Director Yan Da, and it also made him reflect on himself with sincerity, which made his self-confidence soar, he nodded hurriedly, and said, "Yes, yes, that's what it means , Chen Ming, you start to change the script immediately, don't add too much drama, it's just a small supporting role, used to set off the tall image of the protagonist, remember, it's just a waiter, don't compete with me."

Chen Ming still couldn't react. How come even the director was fooled by Zhang Ze's words.

He let out an "ah" belatedly, but before responding to the two, the two walked into the school facing the morning light.

He was full of doubts, thinking, do you really want to change the script?This is a work written by the director himself. If you change it casually like this, will it disrespect the original work?

After that, he returned to the villager's house where he was staying alone in a daze, stepping step by step, as if stepping on cotton.

The brain couldn't respond to why the director's thinking changed so quickly.

He opened the script full of doubts, worrying whether the characters he added would change Director Yan's original intention.

After all, in his heart, he knows that anyone who is engaged in creation, including himself, whether it is a movie, TV series, novel or screenwriter, will feel extremely struggling and painful to change the story at will.

Creators have always cherished their own originality and painstaking efforts, and treated their works as if they were their own children. Letting others delete and modify their stories at will is a torture that would be worse than death for many creators.

But he didn't know at this time that Yan Bian, who was sitting in the principal's office, was smiling all over his face, and he was talking with the principal of the rural elementary school, talking about the future of education in the motherland as if he had the momentum to rise up for the righteousness of the nation in his chest.

Lively extol a bloody love story, a heroic story with Dong Cunrui's devotion to national righteousness as if he had dedicated himself to the education of the motherland.

Zhang Ze was in charge of adding fuel and vinegar to the side, and he was full of tongues, and he was able to say a trifling love story so well that it touched the heart of the principal.

Finally Zhang Ze and Yan Bian came out of the school, Yan Bian let out a long sigh of relief, patted Zhang Ze on the shoulder vigorously, and said emphatically, "It's done!"

Zhang Ze looked at him and smiled. Although he felt that it was annoying to deal with the school leaders and teachers, he was also sincerely happy that the filming could start.
