I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 430: 428. Copying

  Chapter 430 428. Copy

  Yang Mi didn't care too much about the little girl's first-class experience and the inner activities of the night.

  However, to be honest, this little girl can indeed be punched in the face.

  And the most important thing is...she couldn't find any trace of the knife, she was a pure and natural beauty.

   All of a sudden, she became more interested in girls from northern Xinjiang.

   I didn’t find out before... Looking at it now, their conditions are not worse than Jiangnan girls.

   Not to mention the natural singing and dancing genes.

  But this kind of thing is just an impression in her mind. If she really wants to find a circle of beauties in northern Xinjiang... It is not yet possible to talk about it.

   It’s not the harem choosing a concubine, right?

  She still has something to do right now.

  For example, the script in front of me.

   "The script of the TV series?...Given by Tianyu? Didn't you tell them that I don't want to take on the TV series for the time being?"

"said."

  Xu Xin nodded, leaning on the sofa and playing with the girl a childish game where you pinch my finger and I pinch your finger.

"I said, you want to play "The Grandmaster" and have no plans to take on a TV series for the time being. But they said they want you to watch it, and if you're interested, you can talk about everything. I've made an attitude, and it's hard for me to refuse. So you take a look, whether it’s good or bad, read it, and give some reasons for refusing, so that I can evade him next time I see him again.”

  Yang Mi understood what her husband meant.

  After reading the script, give an appropriate reason for rejection. It's different from not reading the script, although the perfunctory reasons given are all rejections, but the concept of hearing it in other people's ears is different.

After reading the script, I can give a reason of "the heroine in this script and I don't get along well, and some points in her story (specific plot) make me feel a little flawed", which is better than "I'm sorry, I don't want to take part in the TV series for the time being." "This kind of refusal must be much nicer.

  You asked me to read the script, I read it, read it carefully and then refused, everyone looks good.

   Then he responded:

   "Okay. I'll take a look then."

   "Hmm... How are you preparing for The Grandmaster?"

"Do not worry."

  The sisters stretched out their hands and made a fist gesture:

   "No one understands Gong Er better than me, I'll kill you with my hands!"

   "Mr. Gong Er is mighty!"

  Xu Xin yawned.

   "I went to take a bath."

   "Go."

  …

   "Director Xu, take a look."

"good."

  Xu Xin sat in front of the computer and clicked on the video file of "Transaction" on the screen.

  The screen went black first, and then a line of words appeared:

   "Director: Xu Xin"

   "Starring: Liu Yifei, Wang Junkai"

   Then, amidst a puff of smoke rising, Liu Yifei's profile was revealed.

  Several switching scenes of smoking in a row, combined the temperament of a prostitute with the curly hair of the scum girl, showing it vividly.

   "Did you come to this place?"

  In the slightly shaking picture, she lowered her head and asked someone...

  He basically didn't worry about the editing of "Transaction" this time.

   It's all done by Lu Yang.

  Includes some of the soundtrack as well.

   It's not that he didn't care, but because the film he made was too simple.

   No tricks.

  In the straightforward language of the lens, what everyone can see are techniques that are so simple that they cannot be more simple.

   Editing this kind of film can be done by a qualified editor.

  At the same time, he also had some thoughts of testing Lu Yang's ability, and after giving out the main idea, he didn't care.

   Soon, 22 minutes passed.

  He took off the earphones, nodded in satisfaction:

   "Very good. Just this version, the film source files will be given to them by the company tomorrow, and they can be sent directly to the film festival."

   "Hoo...OK."

  Lu Yang showed a rare expression of relief.

   It's the same as a graduation thesis.

   Seeing this, Xu Xin smiled and said:

   "How do you feel that you are under a lot of pressure?"

   "Sure...Although Director Xu's film is very easy to edit. But I'm afraid it doesn't reflect the taste of the movie... If you are satisfied, I will feel at ease."

   "Haha~ Isn't this film quite simple?"

  Xu Xin smiled and handed over a cigarette.

  Lu Yang took it, lit it and took a deep breath:

   "Hoo..."

  Then, he thought about it and said to Xu Xin:

   "Director Xu, there is something I want to tell you..."

   "Well, what's up?"

   “…I have a script.”

   As he spoke, he pulled out a document from the shelf next to the table:

   "Want to show you..."

   "Hmm... ok."

  Xu Xin took it, and saw the name at a glance: "Cinema for the Blind"

   "Cinema for the Blind?"

  He was momentarily stunned.

   His eyes suddenly became strange.

   There is a bit of dissatisfaction among the weirdness:

   "You can't joke like that."

   "No. Director Xu, don't get me wrong."

  Hearing this, Lu Yang quickly shook his head:

   "I'm serious, there really is such a movie theater. It's in Yanjing!"

  “…the question is how do blind people see?”

   "They don't watch, they listen."

   "..."

   Now, Xu Xin frowned even tighter:

"What's the meaning?"

   "I'll show you..."

  Lu Yang grabbed the mouse and quickly opened one folder after another on his computer. Finally, he came to a "Cinema for the Blind" folder and opened it, which contained several video files.

  He clicked on one of them, and a slightly shaking hand-held camera image appeared in front of the computer screen.

   This is a...not a big room.

   There were about ten people sitting inside.

   But they all turned their backs to him, so they couldn't see what these people looked like.

  But these people all have short sticks of different lengths in their hands.

  At this moment, a 29-inch color TV at best is reflected in the shooting screen.

  Looking at the situation on the screen, it turns out that "Farewell My Concubine" is playing.

   Judging from the screen, Xu Xin knew that this should be the scene where Cheng Dieyi, who was still in the "Little Douzi" period in the movie, sang in the eunuch's mansion.

   At this moment, Lu Yang increased the volume of the stereo, and Xu Xin heard a voice coming from the stereo.

  The voice is very flat, like... chatting with a friend.

   It is not a professional reading aloud, and there is no emotion at all.

   Said so calmly:

"Little Douzi, whose makeup was still on his face, was taken to Eunuch Zhang's room. The room is very luxurious, surrounded by all kinds of antiques and so on. Eunuch Zhang is wearing a white jacket with disheveled hair. Looking at Xiaodouzi..."

   Speaking of this, Eunuch Zhang’s voice sounded:

   "This year, what year is it?"

  Little beans:

   "The 21st year of the Republic of China."

   "No! It's the twenty-fourth year of Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty! You, come here!"

  After Eunuch Zhang finished speaking, the narration voice sounded again:

   "Eunuch Zhang let Xiaodouzi pass by, he raised his hands up, as if he wanted to hug this beauty in front of him... Xiaodouzi was scared..."

  After he finished speaking, the sound of Xiaodouzi in the movie sounded again:

   "I want to find my brother, I want to pee!"

"Xiaodouzi was very scared and trembling, while Eunuch Zhang stood up and quickly ran to the back of the bed. He quickly picked up a small tripod that looked... made of crystal! He was wearing a bellyband and his face was squinting. Squinting, holding a tripod..."

   After the words fell, Eunuch Zhang's lines sounded:

   "Just sprinkle it in here, just sprinkle it in here. If you sprinkle it in like this, it's not a waste of things!"

   "His hand with rings of various jewels put the tripod on the ground."

   "Ding Ding, Ding Ding."

"Did you hear that? This is the crisp sound of the jade ring on the tripod colliding. It sounds like the material of this crystal tripod must be very valuable... Xiaodouzi started to pee, wearing a bellyband, disheveled hair, looking like an old perverted father-in-law Zhang's face Greedyly looking at Xiaodouzi peeing...Everyone, listen to the panting...Listen...the expression on his face is abnormal, lewd, and a little distorted..."

  The screen continued to play, but Xu Xin already understood what a "cinema for the blind" was.

  He did not continue watching, but paused the playback, turned to Lu Yang and asked:

"The so-called cinema for the blind is based on talking?... Similar to cross talk? Through other people's descriptions, let these blind people understand in their hearts what the movie is about. They are responsible for describing the scene, environment, and pictures, and then matching the lines in the movie, Let everyone "see" it?"

"right!"

  Lu Yang nodded vigorously:

   "This is the picture I took at the Mind Blind Movie Theater last year... Do you know the Mind Blind Movie Theater?"

   "I don't know, this is the first time I've heard of it."

"It's a movie theater run by volunteers. The form you just saw is the way they show movies for the blind. It opened in 2005 and is the first blind movie theater in China. It's in Yanjing. And these people are volunteers. , They are responsible for saying that the blind are responsible for listening...According to the curator, the heart is the heart of the soul, and the eyes are the eyes of the eyes. The mind of the blind is a blank sheet of paper when watching a movie. Through the narration of the volunteers, in their Build your own movie screen in your heart..."

   "..."

   Now, Xu Xin's eyes became serious.

  He no longer asked, but directly opened the script.

  "Synopsis of the story: Chen Yu, an unemployed young man, stumbled into the "Blind Cinema" run by Lao Gao by mistake, and became a film projectionist hired by Lao Gao..."

  In the time of four cigarettes and two cups of tea, he finished reading the story.

  In fact, the content of the story is not complicated, just like the outline of the story. Chen Yu is a seller of pirated CDs. In order to hide from the urban management, he hid in Lao Gao's movie theater. Lao Gao blocked the urban management for him, and in order to thank Lao Gao, he left a bunch of movie discs.

  Old Gao asked him what movies these were, and he picked out one at random, and he spoke clearly and clearly.

   Lao Gao saw that this young man is talented. After all, the movie images that came out of his mouth were very strong, so he was hired as an assistant in the movie theater.

  Chen Yu had had enough of this kind of life, so he agreed.

   Then in the movie theater, he met some regular customers of the theater, and through this job, he learned about this group that can be said to be on the margins of society...

  The story is fairly simple.

   It's not complicated.

  But... To be honest, Xu Xin was quite moved by such ordinary words.

  Maybe it was because of the video clip that was actually shot just now.

  Or maybe he really likes this kind of script that doesn’t show off skills, but tells stories in a down-to-earth manner...

  Although after reading the script, he knew that this play must not be a commercial film. But especially for my own appetite...

   This is a script that really tells a story!

  Although there are some flaws in the second half of the film, it is really good.

   After thinking about it, he asked:

   "Are you going to ask me to direct this play?"

"Well…"

  The corner of Lu Yang's mouth twitched...

   Seeing this, Xu Xin understood, and said with a smile:

   "Are you going to come by yourself?"

"…Um!"

  Although a little embarrassed, Lu Yang still nodded:

   "I want to...get some investment. Then do it myself..."

"no problem."

   Without asking how much it takes, Xu Xin directly agreed.

  Lu Haibo can be his literary consultant, although he didn't say it clearly... But one of the foundations of the cooperation between the two is that the father hopes that Xu Xin can take care of his son.

  Adding the impression of this story is really good, Xu Xin directly agreed.

  The corner of Lu Yang's mouth twitched again...

  He really didn't expect Director Xu to agree so happily.

  It was useless to prepare a lot.

but…

   "Director Xu, I can't guarantee whether this movie will make money..."

   "I can't guarantee it either."

  Xu Xin smiled and waved his hand:

   "But it doesn't matter, making movies is not just about making money. Besides..."

  He recalled the content of the script story and said:

"The investment in this story should not be too big... In this way, you make a quotation and submit it to the company. Go through the procedure, and then send a copy of this book to the factory to see if they like it or not. Is it okay? Don't think about it revenue, not all films are purely commercial."

  This sentence, like a reassurance pill, instantly reassured Lu Yang.

  This script...is the painstaking effort of him and Chen Shu.

  In 2006, when he and Chen Shu accidentally found out that there was such a movie theater from a foreign video, they looked for it in Yanjing City, wanting to see what kind of model it was. As a result, we found the first cinema for the blind in the country.

  As a volunteer commentator, the two of them followed for a while, and were moved by the... a bit offbeat but extremely pure movie atmosphere in the cinema for the blind, and began to write the script.

  The script has actually been perfected for a long time, but because of some problems such as studies and lack of interest from investors, it has been waiting until now.

  At first, he was quite nervous, because including his father, the script could be judged by just looking at it, and it was definitely not "making money".

   But Director Xu agreed so happily, for a moment he felt... an indescribable touch from the bottom of his heart.

  He is not some stunned young man just getting started.

  He has eaten and seen the things in this circle.

  In the circle of directors, it is basically impossible for a young director to make this kind of film.

   Only a great director can be so capricious.

  He has experienced hardships and seen difficulties, so he understands how difficult it is to make this kind of film in his own hands.

  And now hearing Director Xu's words, there was a feeling that a man would die for his confidant.

  Especially the sentence "Movies are not just about making money", it made him feel so warm in his heart.

  So, he nodded vigorously:

"Well! I'll send it out in a few days!... Don't worry, there won't be many. I talked to the director of Xinxin, and they are willing to lend the movie theater for free. Maybe the actors can spend some money...but the overall cost It will definitely come down within two million!"

"Um."

  Xu Xin still didn't stutter.

  It’s only two yuan.

  His salary is more than 7,000 a month!

   Endless flowers!

   There is no end to spending!

  The young master's life is not bitter at all, the young master still drives a Land Rover.

  …

   Coming out of Lu Yang, it was already the beginning of the lights.

   "Deal" was finally changed by him to a somewhat title dog name: "Special Deal".

   It's okay, not crazy. Otherwise, according to the beating **** that was popular in the past two years, this title must be "Special Deal: A Secret Story of an Escort and a Child" so that it can attract a lot of attention.

  Tomorrow Lu Yang will bring the source files to the company, and then send them to the University Student Film Festival, and this cooperation will come to an end.

   As for the opening of the college student film exhibition, that will be in June.

It's still early.

  Driving all the way back home, the meal was still not ready, so he wandered around the first floor and didn't find where Yang Mi was hiding, so he went directly to the second floor.

  There are two study rooms on the second floor, one big and one small.

  The big one is his, used to put books, materials, work, etc.

  Small study room...

Hi.

   They are all their own people, so don't make any foolishness.

   $999 Core I7 3.2GHZ processor.

   NVIDIA's latest GTX500 graphics card.

  Plus what Kingston memory, and the world's first SATA6Gbps, more than 300MB/S... What is it called?

SSD?

   It seems so.

   and Siberian headphones, Logitech keyboard and mouse...

  A computer in her house costs more than 70,000 yuan.

   It is said to be a study room, but it is actually not different from the e-sports room.

  Upstairs, he went directly to the small study.

  The door is closed.

   "Dong dong", there was a knock on the door:

   "Female benefactor, hehehe... yo?"

  Xu Xin, who wanted to be naughty, was taken aback for a moment. Seeing Yang Mi who was sitting at the table and was not playing computer, but holding a script and reading a few books on the table, he asked unexpectedly:

   "Excellent, the sun is coming out from the west? You didn't play the game?"

"No…"

  Yang Mi shook her head, but there was no smile on her face, but she said speechlessly:

   "I'm almost disgusted by you."

   "...?"

  Hearing this, Xu Xin was a little speechless:

   "What did I do?... You checked my browsing history!?"

   "...???"

  Yang Mi was stunned:

"What?"

   "...what are you talking about?"

   "Script...what's in your browser history?...wait!"

  She "slapped the table", but Xu Xin moved faster than her.

   With a "whoosh", the flash was handed over.

  When Yang Mi broke into his study, he was sitting in front of the computer and smiled at her wickedly:

   "Hey hey hey... just look at it, just look at it."

   "..."

  Yang Mi was speechless.

   I can figure it out with my toes, this dog man must have deleted all browsing records, maybe he even deleted cookies!

   Phew!

   Curse you can't remember the account password!

  Dog man!

   There are good things and you don’t ask me to watch them together!

   Unhappy, she entered the room, closed the door, and turned on the room's separate air purification system by the way.

   Seeing this, Xu Xin happily lit a cigarette.

   Oops... comfort.

   then asked:

   "What did you just say? Why did I disgust you?"

   “…the script.”

  Yang Mi sat in front of a separate tea table.

  Seeing this, Xu Xin quickly started to boil water and make tea with a cigarette in his mouth like a dog's leg.

   then asked:

"What's wrong?"

   "Tell me about the things before and after your contact with Tianyu people that day, including the original words and tone."

   "...?"

  Xu Xin was a little confused, but still thought about it for a while, and helped her restore the scene.

   After listening to Yang Mi, she said:

   "Are you sure he said that and nothing else?"

   "No, let me show you the script, and by the way, I revealed that I want to cooperate with you. The rest is nothing... No, what happened?"

   "This script is plagiarized."

   "..."

  Hearing this, Xu Xin was taken aback:

""Jade Palace Lock Heart"?"

"right!"

  Yang Mi nodded:

   "And, do you know which two works it copied?"

   "...which two?"

   ""Meteor Garden", and..."Scary Step by Step"!"

   "..."

  Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

   Then Yang Mi began to scratch her fingers:

"Let me tell you about "Meteor Garden" first. Qingchuan is like Shancai, fourth elder brother is Hua Zelei, eighth elder brother is Daoming Temple. Concubine Liang is Mrs. Daoming... Nine elder brothers and ten elder brothers are Ximen Mizuo. Even that Baihe Qianhui has a substitute, one of the court ladies next to Xi Concubine is called Wanyue and the other is called Xinlian. The deposed prince Yinfeng is like Thomas, a foreigner who was misunderstood to have **** with Shancai, and Nian Suyan is like Fujitang Jing..."

   "..."

  Xu Xin has not read this script, but he has seen "Meteor Garden".

  I also know what the story of the play is.

  But the problem is...

   "So many? Is it too exaggerated? Don't the people at Tianyu know?"

"So this is where Yu Zheng's ingenuity... Hey, Yu copied the name really not in vain. I copied "Winter Sonata", "Suo Qingqiu" from "The Harem of the Qing Dynasty" and copied "Hate Suo Jinping", " It’s okay for Beauty’s Scheming to copy “The Ups and Downs of Wei Young”... His copy of the script is simply the essence of the essence. Because it is a Qing Chuan drama, he copied the character design of “Meteor Garden”. But because of the different background of the times, You really can’t say he’s plagiarizing!”

   "...What about "Scary Step by Step"? What did you copy?"

  Xu Xin frowned and asked.

   Then, Yang Mi gave a more frenzied answer:

"all."

   "..."

"But it's not copying, but it's similar to "Meteor Garden". It's just that he made all the content of "Scary Bubu" younger, understand what I mean? The main line of the story must be According to the outline.

  But he couldn't write such a delicate plot, so he directly changed to the idol drama route. Anyone who sees Luo Qingchuan will fall in love with him, just like Shancai... All the stories in it are based on the outline of "Scary Step By Step"! exactly the same! Brother, exactly the same! "

   "..."

  Xu Xin has never watched "Step by Step", nor the script of "Gong".

   But he believed his wife.

  It is undeniable that the wife is a serious fan of fiction.

  As a fan of novels, after reading online articles for so long, if you can’t tell what is reference, what is an outline, and what is plagiarism, it is pure nonsense.

  Since she said she was picking up the outline, she definitely didn't run away.

  Thinking of this...

  He said:

"So, that is to say, the people from Tianyu...give you a script of "Scary Step by Step", but the content is relatively young, and it is copied from "Meteor Garden", hoping you will act in it? "

"Yes."

  Yang Mi nodded:

"And the problem now is, if they don't know about "Scary Step By Step"...whether it's because Yu Zheng didn't tell them, or they didn't see it, then I can understand. But if they know "Step by Step" Bu Jingxin, even knowing that the copyright belongs to me, and even gave me the script..."

"Ah…"

  After hearing this, Xu Xin was delighted.

  He hoped it was the former.

   And if it's really the latter...

   You really think we are easy to bully... right?

   After thinking about it, he said:

   "You bring me the script and the book of "Scary Step by Step"."

"you want…?"

   "I'll take a look first, after reading it, talk to Qian Pengcheng. See what they mean."

   Narrowing his eyes, Xu Xin said.

  (end of this chapter)
