Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 255 Discussion
After returning home, they hurriedly finished their meal. Under Liu Xiaoli's smiling eyes, Chu Xuan and Qianqian began to read the script and started their work.

A script of nearly one million words cannot be read in a short period of time, but with this love, if you concentrate on doing one thing and immerse yourself in it without any interruptions, the efficiency of doing things will be doubled compared to usual improvement.

Witnessed by Wang Jinhua and Liu Xiaoli, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi started the "student master" mode on the day they got the script.

When they were in the company, the two spent all day studying and discussing with scripts.

When they were at home, the two sat quietly on the sofa, reading, and occasionally communicated cheerfully.

Here, Wang Jinhua at the company and Liu Xiaoli at home smiled slightly every time they saw the two of them in such a state, with warmth and appreciation in their smiles.

During this period, under the leadership of Chu Xuan, Concubine Liu Yi followed him to the Xinhua Bookstore to buy two small books, which helped to broaden the thinking and vision of Xianxia.

"Experience the world of literature and cultivate yourself."

"Stimulate philosophical thinking and enhance content."

"worth having."

At that time, Concubine Liu Yi showed off her face when she heard Chu Xuan's funny words in an advertisement, and she and Chu Xuan immersed themselves in the ocean of the literary world, never tired of it.

As the saying goes, do what you do and love what you do.

The two people whose job is to be an actor may not even know whether they really love the industry of film production.

But in the crew of "Sculpture of God" a few months ago——

"In the future, you will be the producer and I will be the director, and we will shoot movies and TV dramas together."

"Okay!"

Perhaps it is because of the casual dialogue that has nurtured their love and yearning for a better future in their hearts.

For Yu Chuxuan, because you love, so I love.

For Concubine Liu Yi, because you yearn, so I yearn.

Maybe the two of them don't know what's going on, but deep down in their hearts they love the true feelings at this time and their respective hopes for the future and their efforts at the moment are supporting each other that all this happened quietly.

Perhaps as long as the relationship between the two of them remains undiminished, the faith-like belief that they love each other will become the eternal driving force for the two of them to move forward, and the passion that never disappears.

— August 8st.

The afterglow of the setting sun has just dissipated, and it is not long after nightfall.

In the living room, the lights are bright.

On the sofa, Concubine Liu Yi sat cross-legged, a small stack of scripts was placed on her knees, and another stack of scripts and materials was placed on the sofa beside her. Her hair was parted in the middle from her shoulders, black and soft.

"I really want to add a plot to Baguio."

After reading books with Chu Xuan for so many days, I have finished reading the script of "Zhu Xian".

Immersed in it for many days, the people and things in the script are naturally still fresh in my memory, and I can't help but feel emotional.

"Baguio is a supporting role, adding a plot to this role is putting the cart before the horse."

Chu Xuan was sitting next to Concubine Liu Yi, wearing the black and white pajamas that Concubine Liu forced to buy for him. His right foot was propped on the sofa, and his left leg was stretched normally.

In the setting of the script, Baguio is the female supporting role and Lu Xueqi is the heroine.

Adding drama to the female supporting role while ignoring the heroine will have a very serious impact. Maybe the heroine and the female supporting role will collapse, and perhaps the other related characters will also go astray along the way.

Concubine Liu Yi is also clear about this, and she is just talking about it.

"Then we start to delete the plot now? Are we going to delete ten episodes of the plot?"

Concubine Liu Yi turned half around and sat cross-legged facing Chu Xuan, holding the script in her hand.

Just as Chu Xuan was about to speak, Concubine Liu Yi tugged at him and said, "Facing me."

"Why?" Chu Xuan was stunned.

"Looking at me squarely during the exchange is the minimum respect." Concubine Liu Yi said in an educational tone.

On the single sofa on the right side of the coffee table, Liu Xiaoli looked down at the decoration materials.

Hearing Sissi's words, she laughed happily, raised her eyebrows to look at Sissy, and smiled a little.

Concubine Liu Yi turned to look at her mother, with a smile in her eyes, "Mom, am I right?"

Liu Xiaoli nodded slightly, and said, "You're right."

Chu Xuan on the sofa turned half around and sat cross-legged like Concubine Liu Yi.

"Is this okay?" He couldn't help laughing.

Concubine Liu Yi brushed her hair from her left ear, and nodded her head playfully.

"Let's go." She shook her head slightly.

"How do you think the plot should be deleted? What should be the rhythm of the story? If we don't find a commonly recognized rhythm reference point, then we can only aimlessly find useless plots. The problem is that we don't know which ones are useless plots. There is no bottom for support, and it may be deleted by mistake." Chu Xuan looked at her and said.

For the two actors, in the past, when they read literary scripts, they basically only read the plots related to the characters they played, and understood the connotation and the rhythm of the plot development.

Now that they are making films, they need to step out of the characters to control the rhythm of the world of a story, which requires changing their views and thoughts on different things.

"Then let's start from the beginning." Concubine Liu Yi picked up the script and shook it.

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows, motioning for her to continue.

Concubine Liu Yi blinked, "First of all, "Zhu Xian" is about a fairy tale."

"Nonsense." Suddenly, Liu Xiaoli's voice floated from the side.

Hearing this, Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing, overjoyed.

Concubine Liu Yi turned to look at her mother, and said angrily and with a smile: "Mom! Don't disturb us, please!"

Liu Xiaoli lowered her head to look at the information and raised her eyes, and said with a smile full of fun: "Mom is wrong, you continue."

Concubine Liu Yi turned her head and saw that Chu Xuan was still smiling, so she took the script backhand and took a picture of Chu Xuan.

"Is it wrong that "Zhu Xian" is a fairy tale movie?"

"That's right, go ahead, I was amused by my aunt."

Hearing these words, Liu Xiaoli raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Xuan. Chu Xuan looked at Liu Xiaoli happily with the lingering aftertaste of laughter on his face.

"The genre film is Xianxia, ​​so what is the theme? Love?" Concubine Liu Yi said sternly.

Seeing Concubine Liu Yi's serious attitude, Chu Xuan calmed down and became serious with her.

"Do you think it's appropriate to use love as the theme element of "Zhu Xian"?" He asked back.

"I think it's appropriate." Concubine Liu Yi nodded, "Zhang Xiaofan is like Li Xiaoyao, Lu Xueqi is like Zhao Linger, and Bi Yao is like Lin Yueru. If the plot revolves around this love triangle, according to the plot development model of "Sword", "Zhu Xian" There will be a market."

"Yo, you can analyze the market now?" Liu Xiaoli said with a smile.

Concubine Liu Yi turned to look at her mother, with a smile on her face, "I discuss with the teachers every day at the company, I learn much faster than at school."

The next moment, she wrinkled her nose mischievously again, "Mom, read your profile."

Liu Xiaoli nodded slightly, raised her eyebrows to look at her, and signaled her to continue.

""Zhu Xian" is different from "Xianjian". "Zhu Xian" is a classic fairy tale, and the emotional line of the characters is in line with the style of ancient Chinese feudal culture, which is implicit." Chu Xuan expressed his understanding of "Zhu Xian".

"Reserved." Concubine Liu Yi lowered her eyebrows and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Indeed, there is no dog food in the script of "Zhu Xian", and there is no such passionate love, the love triangle between Zhang Xiaofan, Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao is more about respecting each other, There is no love talk, and it stops at embracing each other, but the love is unforgettable, which is very different from "Sword of Heaven."

"But." Concubine Liu Yi looked at Chu Xuan squarely, and suggested: "We can add it, delete the irrelevant plot, and add some emotional drama to them."

The corner of Chu Xuan's mouth raised slightly, and he said, "Your idea is to make "Zhu Xian" into an idol drama?"

"Can't you?" Concubine Liu Yi asked with some doubts.

Chu Xuan's tone of disapproval made her fall into thought again.

After listening to and participating in the discussions of the teachers every day in the company for so many days, she also has a little understanding of the current market.

Love is the eternal theme of literary creation, and it is also the creative standard that many dramas regard it as the first element to measure.

As the saying goes: Men are like mountains, women are like water, mountains and rivers depend on each other and never separate.

It's like "Sword of Immortal" and "Sculpture of God" filmed by her and Chu Xuan. The unforgettable love reflected in the story of the separation and reunion of the male and female protagonists makes people feel sad and nostalgic. Watching the replay several times also makes people sigh and tears.

Therefore, she believes that if the love element of "Zhu Xian" is expanded, and the plot is more abusive, then "Zhu Xian" is also very marketable.

"The love element in "Zhu Xian" is very good, but I think the essence of "Zhu Xian" is not love." Chu Xuan shook his head.

Concubine Liu Yi raised her eyebrows, then smiled softly, "Mr. Chu, what are you talking about?"

Teacher Chu... Chu Xuan felt a little interesting, so he opened the first page of the script and read it.

"The first sentence of the story background of "Zhu Xian": The world is inhumane and treats all things as dogs."

"Inhumanity is the law of nature, and the law of nature is the law of the jungle, so you think the essence of "Zhu Xian" is the law of the jungle?"

Concubine Liu Yi quickly applied what she learned these days.

Chu Xuan nodded, and said: "Yes. According to the story structure of the script, the main line of the current script is Zhang Xiaofan's growth path, Zhang Xiaofan's path of heart training, I think this main line is very good, as for love, it is just Zhang Xiaofan's heart training The fate encountered on the road is not the main thing."

"It's one of them."

Chu Xuan paused, and saw Concubine Liu Yi pick up the paper and pen from the sofa at the back, looked at Chu Xuanyan and said, "Mr. Chu, continue."

Chu Xuan smiled slightly: "Back to the previous topic, the world is not benevolent and treats all things as straw dogs. You also said that this is the law of nature, and nature will not interfere with the survival of living beings. This shows that God is fair. It is good to be respected, and not evil to be inferior. However, people are born with high and low, and this has been the case since ancient times."

"Since there is a distinction between high and low, how can it be fair?" Concubine Liu Yi frowned while taking notes.

"Zhang Xiaofan becomes a cultivator, and a cultivator becomes a higher level cultivator, which one do you think is more difficult?" Chu Xuan asked with a smile.

Concubine Liu Yi was startled, raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Xuan, then lowered her head and began to think.

"The higher you go, the harder it is." Liu Xiaoli said with a smile while dragging her face with her right hand.

Hearing her mother's words, Concubine Liu Yi seemed to understand something, but she didn't fully understand it for a while, so she frowned.

"Zhang Xiaofan becomes a cultivator, Daoxuan wants to become a fairy, which is difficult?" Chu Xuan gave another example.

Hearing this, Concubine Liu Yi blinked, and suddenly said: "It's difficult. I understand what you mean, Zhang Xiaofan's status is humble, and Daoxuan's status is noble. But because of their different status, they pursue different things, but for them with different status , the difficulty is the same. Just like ordinary people only want to earn 10 yuan, people worth hundreds of millions want to earn [-] billion.”

Chu Xuan gave a thumbs up and said: "Understood correctly. This is also the case in our real world. Everyone pursues different material and spiritual lives, but the difficulty of going up is based on consistency and equality."

Concubine Liu Yi nodded, lowered her head and took notes quickly.

Chu Xuan continued: "Then substitute this understanding into "Zhu Xian". In the world of celestial beings where the jungle preys on the strong, everyone pursues different immortals and heroes. Then, can we develop a way of thinking and make "Zhu Xian" The celestial beings and chivalrous beings pursued by the characters appearing in the film are all filmed, and the world view of "Zhu Xian" is rendered larger and more completely through the pursuit of these characters, not just around Zhang Xiaofan, Lu Xueqi and Baguio. .”

Concubine Liu Yi frowned slightly thinking about Chu Xuan's words, everyone's pursuit of immortals and heroes is different?

"What is Zhang Xiaofan's chivalry? As a member of Caomiao Village, is he obsessed with finding out the truth about the massacre of Caomiao Village? Is it chivalrous because his savior beat him to death without revealing the origin of the Bloodthirsty Bead?" Is it chivalrous to resolutely defect from Qingyunmen and join the Ghost King Sect because Baguio died for him?"

Concubine Liu Yi's eyes lit up at Chu Xuan's words.

"Looking at it this way, it is considered chivalrous for Daoxuan to be willing to be bitten by Zhu Xianjian in order to protect Qingyunmen; Wan Jianyi has been reclusive for protecting Qingyunmen Qingyu; On the side of Qingyunmen, it is also chivalrous."

"Cangsong rebelled against Daoxuan because of Wan Jianyi's kindness, so he rebelled against Qingyun. In a sense, it is also chivalrous; in order to revive the glory of the demon sect, the ghost king gathered people to attack Qingyun, which seems to be chivalrous. The Blood Refining Hall seeks the holy things. The bloodthirsty bead, the starting point is also correct, from this point of view, it seems to be considered chivalrous."

Concubine Liu Yi frowned, with excitement on her face, and smiled slightly, "I understand what you understand. The characters in "Zhu Xian" don't distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil. All the characters in it have their own things to protect and pursue. This guardian thing is the chivalry in "Zhu Xian"!"

Chu Xuan nodded, with a smile on his lips.

Concubine Liu Yi moved her eyes a few times, and after thinking for a while, she clapped her hands and smiled: "So, what you mean is that "Zhu Xian" is not about love, but what all the characters pursue in this fairy world. Changes take place."

"The transformation of characters is shown through the plot. In other words, each character has his own growth path. We filmed the growth paths of Zhang Xiaofan, Lin Jingyu, Zeng Shushu and other characters through the plot. The grand world view of "Zhu Xian" can be fully displayed."

Chu Xuan nodded, and said with a smile: "If we can shoot these, then I think "Zhu Xian" will surpass "Legend of Shu Mountain" and "Sword of Immortal Sword", and become the foundation of the fairy tale drama in the bright era. It is also the first masterpiece of the two of us."

Groundbreaking work?

masterpiece?

Concubine Liu Yi's eyes glowed with excitement, "Then my thinking is clear, the main line of "Zhu Xian" follows Zhang Xiaofan's growth path, and on this main line, the growth path of Lu Xueqi, Baguio, Lin Jingyu, Zeng Shushu and other characters is slowed down. Slowly lay the groundwork, let all the characters gradually become full, and then present the fairy world of "Zhu Xian" to the audience through their vision."

Chu Xuan smiled and said, "Do you agree with this idea?"

Concubine Liu Yi nodded repeatedly, and said, "I agree! In my inner world, I feel that all the characters in the world of "Zhu Xian" are alive."

"Then what about the love triangle you just mentioned?" Chu Xuan asked in disbelief.

Concubine Liu Yi raised her eyebrows to look at him, and said with a smile: "It can be used as a supplementary thread."

Chu Xuan smiled and said, "Now that we have the same ideas, how do you think the plot should be deleted? How should the plot be changed or added?"

Concubine Liu Yi stroked her hair, opened the story structure book, took a few glances and said, "Delete all the plots that have nothing to do with the growth of the characters, such as the ambiguous scene between Zeng Shushu and Lu Xueqi, the ambiguous scene between Lin Jingyu and Bi Yao, and the ambiguous scene between Lin Jingyu and Bi Yao." Yu and Jin Ping'er's emotional drama, these are not necessary. Change or add these plots to their growth plots, so that the emotions and personalities of these characters are more full."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Liu Yi looked up at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan raised his hand and smiled tenderly, stretched out his right hand, "It's the same as I thought."

Hearing this, Concubine Liu Yi looked happy, and extended her right hand to give him a high-five.

"Zhu Xian's [Chivalry] is here, what about [Xian]?"

"Sleep! We'll discuss it tomorrow." Liu Xiaoli combined the decoration materials, got up and said in a parental tone.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi looked at each other for a moment.

Concubine Liu Yi turned her head, "Mom, it's only 10 o'clock."

Liu Xiaoli shook her head, "You've been reading from day to night these days, and you need to rest your eyes. Besides, going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health. Go and rest."

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows to look at Liu Xiaoli, and muttered to Concubine Liu Yi: "This is the majesty from the way of heaven."

Heaven? …Concubine Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, then lay back and smiled on the sofa.

Liu Xiaoli glared at Chu Xuan and smiled sullenly.

Chu Xuan glanced at her, got off the sofa and left, "Sleep."

Concubine Liu Yi looked at the back of Chu Xuan who was walking quickly, and said happily: "Mom, you have been promoted from the female devil to the way of heaven."

Liu Xiaoli and her daughter looked at each other, and the next moment the mother and daughter burst into laughter, feeling full of fun.
