I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 318: 316. Evil woman (2/3) thanks to "Ragna

  Chapter 318 316. Evil woman (23) Thanks to the leader of the "Ragnarous" boss!

  The matter of Liu Yifei was completely settled after signing the contract in black and white and pressing the fingerprint.

   Now even Liu Xiaoli can't say anything more.

   This is the daughter's own decision.

  From a series of behaviors, she also saw her daughter's determination.

That…

   There is nothing more to say.

  I just hope she won't regret her choice.

  Looking at the daughter who was talking and laughing with Yang Mi, words that would never have appeared in her heart emerged in her heart.

  At noon, everyone had a meal together.

   Then in the afternoon, Liu Xiaoli left.

   Did not return to Xiangjiang, but directly returned to Yanjing.

  Xu Xin didn't worry much about the next thing, he was just helping Xu Yang read the scripts received by Niufeng.

   In all fairness, the quality of the script...

   Quite average.

   This is the truth.

   But this is also normal. A small company that has just been established is not well-known in the industry, and there are no particularly famous screenwriters.

  The uneven quality of the script is obvious.

  Including Xu Yang and the others don't have any sense of gap.

  Because this is the rule of this circle.

  Besides, most of these scripts are based on personal aesthetics. Anyway, they are all at a small cost, so they should be spent to increase experience.

but…

  From this, Xu Xin actually saw a very interesting story.

  The name of this story is "The Deal".

   It’s about a love story between a party girl who feasts and feasts, and a child.

   But the quality of the whole script is not that good.

   It can only be said that the story is very fresh and anti-routine.

   And it's a... kind of redemption story.

   Its core idea is the story of a child who spends five hundred dollars, hires a bartender to act as his "one day" mother, and then goes to hold a parent-teacher meeting.

  The period is also mixed with the little boy's tragic life experience, such as being an orphan and both parents died. Boys have hallucinations cognitive impairment or something.

   Anyway, how miserable it is.

  The girl who accompanied the wine was also a very "bitch". At first, she lied to the child for money, but after she gradually learned about the child, she felt guilty and approached the child.

   Slowly, little by little, the two people warmed each other up, and finally gave a story of redemption to both parties.

  To be honest, in his opinion, the script is full of lengthy paragraphs.

   And very routine.

Including the acquaintance between the girl who accompanied the wine and the little boy because of a drunkenness, and a child in elementary school was able to help a girl who accompanied the wine home... This kind of storyline of "picking up corpses" makes Xu Xin feel embarrassed and cancer up.

  The whole story shows a very routine, contrived, and even hypocritical traces.

   looks very artificial.

   Xu Xin didn't like this very much.

   But...he liked the idea.

  The kind of story where two people warm each other and redeem each other... He likes it very much.

   I even have the idea of ​​creating my own.

   But this idea was immediately stopped.

  He wouldn't be so lowly as to plagiarize or something.

   But the redemptive flavor of this story is very strong.

   is the type he would love to try...

   After thinking for a while, he called Xu Yang.

   "Hey, Sanjin, how fast are you watching?"

  Look, magic is a metropolis after all.

   After half a year, when the two of them called, Xu Yang knew how to use Mandarin.

   "No, I fell in love with a script. Have you read the script "Trade"?"

   "I've seen it, that's my choice. I think this story is very touching~ It's not expensive, it sold for 30,000 yuan~"

have to.

   In less than three sentences, he revealed his secrets again.

   "Please help me get in touch with this screenwriter."

   "Want to shoot?"

"This version of the story is definitely not good, the script is too pretentious and pretentious. I think the screenwriter is Yao Ting, right? Girl? You told her that I like the theme of her story, but I don't like such a pretentious story. Ask Can she change it? If she can, she can be more natural... Forget it, let her contact me directly, and we can talk."

   "Wow."

   "Well, if the script can be changed to my satisfaction, you guys will make this investment... It's okay, this kind of investment should not be big, basically no problem."

   "Ah, isn't it just money. You can do it~"

   "Hahaha~ okay, let's say that, let her contact me."

  Hung up the phone, he looked at the script in his hand, thought for a while, got up and walked out from the study.

  Going downstairs, he found that Yang Mi and Liu Yifei were actually watching "The Legend of Condor Heroes"...

   I don’t know what way to do it.

but…

   "Yifei, here."

  He held the script in his hand and handed it to her.

"This is…"

  Liu Yifei took it subconsciously, and Yang Mi also looked over.

   "A very interesting script. The storyline is so-so, but I like this theme very much."

  After hearing his words, Yang Mi asked:

   "About what?"

   "A story of a hostess and a child."

   "...?"

  Yang Mi was taken aback for a moment:

   "Accompaniment girl?"

"right."

  Xu Xin nodded:

"It's about an **** girl who charged a child 500 yuan, pretending to be the child's mother for a day, and helping the child to hold a parent-teacher meeting... It's a story with a bit of redemption, and I think it's not bad. But what's the plot of the story? It's... very bad. I was chatting with Xu Yang just now, and the role of the wine girl is worth digging into. If this story can be changed to my satisfaction, then Yifei can try it. A very down-to-earth character. "

"Well…"

  Yang Mi thought for a while and asked:

   "Didn't you tell Director Zhang that you plan to settle down?"

   "Precipitation does not mean staying away from the movie."

  Xu Xin gave her a strange look:

"If you come across a story you like, then shoot it. Besides...it's not sure whether to shoot it or not. I'm not very satisfied with the structure of this story. Some parts are sensational and unnatural...I want a better entry point , a better storyline. So far, the quality of this script does not meet my requirements. So I have to change it... Let’s treat it as a topic for class. After filming "The Wind", it is natural for me to try it this time The lens style of…”

   Before the voice finished, Zhang Jiao's phone rang.

   "Brother Xu, it's a Yanjing number, an unfamiliar number."

   "Go ahead, ask what you do."

  Zhang Jiao nodded:

   "Hello, how are you?"

   "...Okay, just a moment."

  Holding the phone, Zhang Jiao said:

   "She said her name is Yao Ting, and she is the screenwriter of "The Deal."

   "The speed is quite fast..."

  Xu Xin picked up the phone:

   "Hello, screenwriter Yao, hello, I'm Xu Xin."

   "Xu...Hi Director Xu, sorry to bother you."

  Hearing her voice, Xu Xin seemed to be quite young, so he smiled and said:

"It's okay, I should say that. It's like this, screenwriter Yao, I read the script "Trading" and I like the theme of the story very much, but I think the plot of the script you designed is very ordinary. Can you change it? Is it?"

   "..."

  Yao Ting on the phone was silent for a while before asking:

   "Director Xu, you... want to shoot?"

"Yes, but I don't like the overall story very much. But I like the warm colors in your story. But there are some limitations, and some storyline transitions are too blunt, and the main story of the little boy and the street girl It’s too routine. Can you change it?”

   "Yes. Can you give me some ideas?"

   "..."

  Xu Xin was taken aback.

   "May I provide you with ideas?"

   "Uh...you...haven't either?"

   "... Screenwriter Yao, this story is written by you, I think you should be more familiar with it?"

  Hearing this request, Xu Xin was really speechless.

"No, no, Director Xu, you misunderstood me. In fact, I also know that this script has some plot problems... I also want to improve, but I have no idea. To tell you the truth, there was no such thing as this script at the beginning. There are so many plots, but after I finished writing all the stories I wanted to write, I realized that it was a bit nondescript.

  That's... its length doesn't support it being shot as a movie, but more like a short film like your "Not Drunk". But I felt it was a pity to shoot a short film, so I tried to add and extend some stories to it, and it was barely the length of a movie... So I was also very uncomfortable, because I lacked some ideas. So... I hope you can provide a direction, and I will go to redesign. "

   Seeing that he had misunderstood, Yao Ting on the other end of the phone quickly explained.

  But Xu Xin also frowned.

because…

  He has never encountered such a thing.

   "Not Drunk" was a script he designed himself, but from the beginning he went there for his winter vacation homework, so he didn't even think about making a longer filming in the past.

  The script of "Secret" was designed by Jay Chou himself, and it has a fairly complete story framework.

   "The Wind" is not to mention, it is adapted from a novel. In the adapted script, a series of stories other than "Qiu Zhuang" in the original novel were discarded.

  So, although the movies he has been exposed to have increased or been deleted, he has not encountered such a thing of "expanding an idea into a movie".

   is outrageous.

  The screenwriter Yao designed a story himself, but found that the story was too short, and then copied some stories into it, and saved the length of a movie?

  After figuring this out, Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

   "That is to say, outside of the main story line, those plots that seem contrived to me... are all forced into it by you?"

"…um, yes."

  Xu Xinxin said good guy.

   Let’s talk about why these storylines seem so hypocritical...

   After thinking about it, he said:

   "Then... so, how about you try to change it first? I'll also think about this idea here to see if there is any inspiration. This is my contact information. You can save it, and we can keep in touch at any time?"

   "Yeah, okay, Director Xu!"

   After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xu Xin hung up the phone.

   Then start scratching your head.

"What's wrong?"

  Yang Mi, who has been listening to his phone call, is a little curious:

   "What forced you to get in? What were you talking about just now?"

   "This story, the screenwriter found out that the time was not long enough, so he mechanically incorporated some plots... It's outrageous!"

"Well…"

  Responding to the meaning of her lover's words, she tentatively said:

   "Then why don't you show it to the factory?"

   "I can't find the factory for this matter."

  Xu Xin shook his head directly:

   "This is Xu Yang's script. If we want to invest, it must be their side to invest and operate. We can't directly go to the factory to cooperate with others. It's not suitable. But..."

  Following Yang Mi's meaning, he nodded:

   "Your thinking is right. Although this screenwriter is the creator of the story, it feels a bit unreliable to me. I really need to find another screenwriter...I'll give Director Zhang a call."

   As he spoke, he went straight to the backyard and lit another cigarette.

  But he didn't call Zhang Yimou directly, but Zhang Mo:

   "Hey, Sister Mo, is Director Zhang filming?"

   "No, it was windy today, very strong, and it stopped for a day...My dad and we are together, you can just say what you want....Hey, what's the matter?"

  Hearing Zhang Yimou's movement, Xu Xin asked:

   "How is your progress?"

   "After Yan Ni came, the progress was much faster. Tell me, what's the matter?"

   Obviously, Zhang Yimou didn't want to say much about "Three Guns".

   The obvious stuff...

  What else can we talk about?

   "It's like this, I fell in love with a script. It's a story about a hostess and a child..."

  After talking about the content of the script, including the screenwriter, he continued:

"This screenwriter doesn't feel very reliable to me, but I'm quite interested in this story. But I can't find the factory for this kind of thing, because the script has already been bought by Headwind. So... I want to ask You, let's see which screenwriter is good at this kind of story, and come and finish this script together. That screenwriter Yao has no idea...it's outrageous that he still counts on me."

   After finishing speaking, Zhang Yimou said:

   "This kind of thing is very common. Some young screenwriters lack experience in controlling the story and often come up with a lot of good ideas, but once they enter the screenwriting stage, the grade of the story will drop drastically...The story has already been bought?"

"right."

   "The other party is not particularly persistent about the right to adapt, right?"

   "Well. Otherwise, you wouldn't ask me for ideas..."

   "Okay, I'll introduce you to a few screenwriters... But this also reminded me. It's time for you to form a screenwriter team of your own."

  Hearing what Zhang Yimou said, Xu Xin was stunned, and said:

   "Write stories just for me?"

   "Neither. First, you need a literary consultant, if not many."

   "...something like helping you discover "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"?"

"right."

  Zhang Yimou agreed:

"There are many stories written by authors in the physical book market every year. You can't read all of them, so at this time, you need this kind of literary consultant to help you discover them. Otherwise, let you read them one by one by yourself. , Don’t be exhausting? And you use these literary consultants to discover some books you are interested in and recommend them to you. After you get them and think the story is good, then hand it over to a screenwriter who is good at a certain subject in the screenwriting team. This is A set of procedures~"

"Well…"

  Hearing this, Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

   "Where are these people found?"

  "Recruitment is enough. Let the news out in the circle, and people will come over. I don't recommend you directly ask for recommendations, because this is also a process of finding a team that suits your style. Use a sieve over and over again, and pick out over and over again.

  Besides, now there are not only physical books, but also some books or particularly popular stories on the Internet. You can also ask people to help you discover them. Every screenwriter has his own creative bottleneck, and your team is not dedicated to serving you. As long as everyone is like-minded and can help you when you need it. "

  Xu Xin was instantly awakened by those words.

   "You mean, I should form my own team too?"

"Yes, a diverse team. It's like Xiying Film Studio. If you want to adapt something with the main theme, or a story with a strong local complex, then you must have no problem finding them. But if it's like some stories that are more suitable for young people , if they want to meet the appetite of more people, they may not be able to handle it well...

   Form a team, the success of two films is enough for you to gain a firm foothold in this circle. Someone will vote~ And this story...I suggest that you can be a touchstone and let them try it. "

  Xu Xin's eyes lit up completely.

   "Okay, no problem!...Then I'll talk to Yang Mi right away."

   "Well, remember not to spread too much all of a sudden. It is easy to arouse suspicion from others."

   "Don't worry, I understand."

  Xu Xin responded with a smile:

   "Then if the preparations are ready, let Sister Mo come over?"

"OK."

  Zhang Yimou readily agreed.

   After Xu Xin, whose mind was completely opened, returned to the room, he told Yang Mi about the matter, and Yang Mi nodded:

   "Okay, let's wait until the blind selection is over. After entering the team competition, let's go back to Yanjing and start preparing for this matter?"

"Um."

  Xu Xin nodded, and then asked by analogy:

   "Speaking of which, do we still need a TV drama team?"

"Well…"

  Yang Mi is thoughtful...

  …

  The blind selection of "The Voice" lasted for a week.

   At the end of the week, there were only 72 players left in the blink of an eye out of 180 players.

  The remaining 108 people were all eliminated and left the guest house of Xiying Studio.

  The room was suddenly empty.

   Next, the production team of the show began to work hard.

   Naturally, it is impossible to edit all of the 180 people's blind selection scene into the variety show, so the time will definitely be exceeded.

  So Yang Mi decided to edit a total of six issues.

   Someone is destined not to appear on screen.

   But this is also impossible.

  The draft is a game, and the game has winners and losers.

   Being eliminated under the premise of ensuring that there is no shady scene is purely due to his lack of ability.

   After the blind selection, the next core idea of ​​the team competition is the internal assessment of the four mentors and judges.

  Xu Xin specially designed a boxing match venue.

   Not to mention, this implication is quite interesting.

  Some people win, some people lose.

  The winner advances, the loser goes home.

  Under the increasingly cruel competition mechanism, there are also tidbits of four mentors guiding the players.

  But this is not recorded at Xiying Studio.

   After communicating with the four mentors, they put the recording locations in their respective "homes".

  Xiangjiang, Wanwan, Yanjing, Beijiang.

  Each mentor team should show the characteristics of their respective teams as much as possible.

  The entire preparation cycle takes half a month.

   Half a month later, the team competition started directly into groups.

  And on the day when the recording of the blind selection ended, the young couple returned to Yanjing, and at the same time released news in the circle:

   "Director Xu Xin is looking for literary consultants and screenwriters."

  As soon as the news came out, the mailbox of Shuangwei Entertainment received a large number of resume submissions...

  Yanjing is the main residence of cultural and entertainment practitioners, whether they are screenwriters, directors, or related practitioners, there are quite a lot.

   Not to mention Xu Xin's appeal.

   "The Wind" will be officially released in four or five days.

   Today's box office has exceeded 310 million, and it is moving towards the 320 million mark.

   Of course, it is definitely not comparable to "Transformers 2", which has already broken 350 million, but it still firmly holds the top spot in the box office of domestic movies from the beginning of the year to the present.

  Who wouldn't want to come here?

   This is a new star with unlimited potential!

  As far as this movie is concerned, Yang Mi and Liang Bingning are the first to bear the brunt.

  Liang Bingning will not mention it. With Xiying Studio as the backer, all the avenues of drama have been opened. It's kind of like "showing your true nature".

  The mentality of a strong woman is undoubtedly evident.

  Yang Mi's acting skills have also received unprecedented recognition.

  Facts have proved that this post-85 generation, one of the four new female roles, has absolute box office strength.

   The role of "Gu Xiaomeng" is destined to become a highlight in her acting career!

  And this "heavy ink and heavy color"...is not considered a TV series.

  Not to mention TV dramas, whether it is Zhu Wushuang, or Tang Xuejian in "Sword and Sword III", which is currently in full swing on local TV stations, has further proved her unshakable status as an absolute heroine.

Although…

   The quality of "Chinese Paladin III" has been criticized by many Xianjian fans.

how to say…

  It modifies too much game content.

   I really want to list them one by one, it is simply full of slots.

  Whether it’s Solanum nigrum played by Liu Zhishi, Zixuan played by Tang Yan...even Sedum played by Hu Jian.

   Is "Chinese Paladin III" popular?

   is real fire.

  There are many handsome men and beautiful women, as well as Yang Mi. Coupled with Tang Ren's excellent management strategy, more local stations will bloom, which has the meaning of starting a prairie fire.

  However, when it was in full swing, it caused dissatisfaction among countless fans of "Sword and Sword III".

   And the main reason is that they don't respect the original work and the characters!

A few simple examples: In the game, the force value of these people is very high. There is no such thing as the heavy building being unable to defeat the evil sword fairy. The heavy building as the ceiling of combat power directly crushed the evil sword fairy, but here In the play, it's the other way around.

   Moreover, Zixuan in the game did not seduce Chonglou, and in the end it was Zixuan who sacrificed herself to seal the Demon Locking Tower.

  It’s not a big deal, the nightshade is the one with the most extreme magic reform. In the game, the nightshade would never harm Xuejian because of jealousy or something, but in the TV series, it almost killed Xuejian.

   This caused dissatisfaction among a large number of fans of Xue Jian and Solanum nigrum.

  So, since the beginning of more local stations, the word-of-mouth of the entire "Sword and Sword III" began to decline rapidly with the extension of the plot.

  In the end, it simply caused overwhelming abuse on Baidu Tieba.

but…

  Amidst the overwhelming abuse, Yang Mi became a white lotus.

  The official announcement of "Sword" Bar:

   "Prohibition of Xuejian played by Hei Yangmi, otherwise all speeches will be silenced."

  The reason why Tieba can issue such an announcement is also very simple.

  Yang Mi buried too many details in this drama.

Whether it's some small movements that belong to Xuejian that are deliberately restored, or those lines that are almost restored according to what Xuejian said in the game...even the real "real" that is almost a one-to-one reproduction. Think of me as the "Miss Tang Tang Tang Family" character!

  All let fairy sword fans really have a kind of...

  Xue Jian really came alive with a sense of sight.

   This kind of drama that respects the original, restores the original, and plays its own style, has gained the unanimous approval of all players!

  That’s why there is such a wonderful scene in the post bar, “If you black the TV series "Sword and Sword III", then we will be good friends. But if you black Yangmi and black snow, I will kill your whole family".

  Unknowingly, Zhu Wushuang's shadow seemed to fade away from Yang Mi a lot.

  The figure of Tang Xuejian, the eldest lady of the Tang family, seemed to overlap with her.

  Black "Sword and Sword III" is not black Tang Xuejian's wonderful post bar scene came into being.

  The leading heroine in "The Wind" HOLD the audience, and "Sword and Sword III"'s alternative and popular Miss Tang family, it seems that people have forgotten the fact that this girl is already a wife and mother.

  Yang Mi's popularity is just this August, with the ending of "The Wind" and the highs and lows of "Sword and Sword III", it's like riding a rocket...

   Just like that...

  Up to a new level!

   And this momentum made some people in the circle scratch their heads...

   This response...

   It doesn't look like an actress who is going to be a mother soon... She should be in the limelight.

  Yang Mi...

   Not to mention...

  It's kind of evil.
