Earth Survival Guide

Chapter 734 Tragedy is worth remembering.

The one-day trip to France came to an end, and Wei Wei got the instruction to start filming the French version of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai here.This aroused its interest. After all, there has been a discussion in the industry so far, that is, whether Romeo and Juliet is the Western Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai or Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai are the Eastern Romeo and Juliet.

But regardless of the East or the West, love is an eternal theme, and the heroine recommended by Gu Tao performed very well in the interview with Weiwei, so good that even she herself did not expect that she would perform so well.

And when this Mina knew that the big sister in front of her was actually the boss of the film company who made her chase the movie all night until tears flowed down her face, she jumped up excitedly.

Weiwei didn't have much airs, instead she tailored a training plan, and said that there is no need to think about the script for movies with this kind of theme, because no matter how old-fashioned the theme is, with a beautiful youth and a beautiful body, it will be well received. .

"First, be tragic."

Gu Tao put forward his own opinion: "Destroy meaningful things for people to see."

"Second, the colors should be bright."

Gu Tao continued to put forward his own opinion: "Please use light tones to establish the brightness of youth and highlight the darkness of the ending."

"Third, there is no time to regret."

Gu Tao rubbed his nose and said again: "The time span is more than 20 years. It has been 20 years after a quick glance in the crowd. Boys have become men, mature and stable. Girls have become women, dignified and elegant. They are on the speeding train. They met on the road, the boy went home to attend his mother's funeral, and the girl accompanied her husband to work in Paris. The two met at the junction of the carriages, said bonjour to each other, and passed by with smiles on their faces. Then the two turned their heads separately, but saw All are the backs of the other party, and the movie ends here."

"I was thinking, you are here to feed shit to the audience." The six sons said displeasedly beside him, "Can't they be together secretly?"

"The beauty of love lies in the regret of not being able to go back, not the cheating when we meet again. One is married and the other is married. Both of them have their own lives." Gu Tao patted the table and said, "Just like Wang Lei 40 How old is he, one day he drove home and waited for a red light, and suddenly slapped his thigh hard, remembering what his first love said to him when he was 19 years old, and then realized what she meant back then, did he want to run over to find Is it a girl? Not to mention that it is fair or unfair to his wife, so what if he finds it? What you see is a woman in her 40s, who may be living an ordinary life with a rough face. Seeing her Do you believe that Wang Lei can collapse in an instant?"

"Why?" Liu Zi asked puzzled.

Gu Tao lit a cigarette: "Because the person in Wang Lei's heart is always fixed at the age of 19, the little flower with fluttering white clothes, long hair facing the wind and bright smile, not a weather-beaten person who has been devastated by the years. A middle-aged woman who forwards WeChat Moments at home all day and tells her son who is in high school, 'Don't eat KFC, because the chicken used in KFC has six wings'. Everyone feels that regret is painful, but if there is a chance, you will come back Go back and look for your regrets, you will most likely find some regrets and keep them, and your life will be more thoughtful."

Weiwei listened beside her, then nodded: "I think this idea is good, I'll go back to discuss it with the screenwriter at night."

"Remember, there must be no heart-piercing throughout the whole process." Gu Tao said emphatically: "Why do domestic idol dramas suck? The only thing that sucks is two people in their 30s who haven't grown up at all. Let What did the audience cry for? Could it be that the actors hoarse out the two words "why the hell didn't you stay?"? It relied on using the lens and light and shadow to bring the audience the feeling of time and space distortion, and then said goodbye in a flat manner .To make people feel that they have grown up in an instant! Can’t go back!!! Hurt the spring and cherish the autumn, and ultimately hurt yourself and the past! This kind of pain comes from the youth and the past that you can’t go back It's a regrettable choice, not the aging and out-of-shape person in front of you!"

"Love, the really wonderful part is called youth. After that, it won't be love, it's companionship. The source of middle-aged people's crying has always been loneliness."

"You really understand..." Liu Zi approached him with a grim expression.

And when Gu Tao found that everyone was staring at him, he realized that he was a little emotional, and he coughed: "Hey..."

"Where did you get the experience? Let's hear it." Weiwei's understatement brought the tense atmosphere to a climax.

"Stories from other people, stories from friends, and stories from what I heard." Gu Tao was not nervous at all: "You have also seen that people like me never make choices, just like I never single out in fights. I have the capital not to leave any regrets, so I can only extract other people's stories, guessing blindly, this world cannot stand scrutiny."

"Really?"

Gu Tao laughed disdainfully at the questioning of the six sons: "Who wants to be the white moonlight, you or Weiwei?"

"Me, me, me." Xiu Ling raised her hand beside her, "I want to be the white moonlight."

"Show some face." Jing Yuan gave her a blank look: "Really, show some face."

Gu Tao didn't speak, just continued to eat, and after eating for a while, he continued: "The movie is shot as I said, the scenery should be beautiful, the beauty of France should be unobstructed, the contrast of light and shadow should be strong, the impact of camera language is greater than the impact of lines .To bring people into the past completely, highlighting youth but emphasizing regret.”

About three hours later, they returned to their hometown through the teleportation array. Because the children were going to sleep, Gu Tao opened the door and walked in. The six children lay directly on the hammock in the yard and started playing with their mobile phones. Wei Wei took the four children Entering the room to take a bath, Gu Tao sat alone on the small platform built on the second floor, smoked a cigarette, looked at the stars in the sky with a smile on his face, then turned and walked into the room.

He didn't speak, just made a cup of coffee, and went outside alone again, lying on the rocking chair very relaxed, letting the coffee next to him smell the aroma, he heard the noise in the room and the laughter of the six children in the yard, I have been thinking about the plot in my mind, and then suddenly the inspiration exploded, and then I started to write the script without saying a word, because the input method is powerful enough, after the four children and Weiwei took a bath, he had already completed more than 1 words With the combination of Satania's logical error-correcting ability and Gu Tao's thinking speed, the problem of [-] words per minute is really not a big problem.

When Weiwei brushed her hair and came to the balcony, Gu Tao had already finished the 15-word script. With a swipe of his hand, the script was directly transmitted to Weiwei.

"Look, let's discuss how to deal with this."

Weiwei smiled and pressed the device behind her ears, the virtual eyepiece covered her face, and then began to read Gu Tao's script, and sat for two hours, Gu Tao just hugged her in his arms , covered with a blanket.

"If this film is produced, I think it should be a classic handed down from generation to generation. I think it has completely surpassed what you said during the day, surpassing it in all aspects."

Suddenly, Weiwei raised her head and looked at Gu Tao: "He is simply a genius-level player. This field of vision has surpassed our common love themes. It is simply torturing middle-aged and elderly people."

"There are four versions of this, one is the Chinese version, the other is the French version, and the Japanese and Korean versions. You can grasp the elements and bring them up. This kind of literary film is not used to make money, but to earn word of mouth. Word of mouth of the bourgeoisie."

"Hey, why don't you tell me quietly." Weiwei reached out from the blanket and hugged Gu Tao's neck: "Have you experienced it?"

"No, my two lives were actually very complete." Gu Tao buried his nose in Weiwei's hair: "Look, when I describe a refrigerator, I don't necessarily have to know how to cool it. I really It's about refining other people's stories, the ones that sound imperfect. You know, I often have gatherings with middle-aged men, and those men who are widowed and married actually talk about everything, no matter how prosperous they are, or what they are. Whatever you have now, you were a fool when you were in adolescence."

"how about you?"

"I'm a genius." Gu Tao gently kissed Weiwei's nose: "I've been a genius since I was a child, and my IQ is enough to crush everyone, and I'm also diligent and studious. I'm not pretentious, and I'm very greedy. So my life is perfect."

"Will there be a day when you will not be so perfect?"

"No." Gu Tao smiled confidently: "My life will definitely be complete."

Gu Tao's words made Weiwei laugh, and then hummed, and then the two chatted for a while, and they returned to the house when the six sons yelled and fell asleep.

The next day, everyone who was supposed to go to work went to work, and the children returned to their study places. Weiwei brought Gu Tao's script to the company and called all the screenwriters together. Dozens of people surrounded Gu Tao The script began to be revised in sections.

But they worked all morning but made no real progress, because they couldn't change Gu Tao's script. Apart from slightly modifying the abrupt transition, there was nothing else that could be changed. There was a female screenwriter who even did the whole process. They all had red eyes, and even the atmosphere of the whole meeting seemed drowsy and dignified.

"This is the first half of the script, and the second half has almost no dialogue, only narration and monologue." Weiwei introduced: "So what do you think now?"

"I personally think the French version is the best and the most romantic." A screenwriter nodded and said, "The Korean version is a bit... hypocritical."

"I don't think so. The timeline of the four editions is different. The timeline of the French version is around 1970. The hero is a farmer's son. The Japanese version is in 1985. The hero is a man who grew up watching comics. Sentimental teenager. The timeline of South Korea is around 1965. The protagonist’s father died on the battlefield. His experience is destined to be like that. The Mandarin version is in the 90s. To be hypocritical, I think the Mandarin version It's more hypocritical."

"No, I think the Mandarin version is the best, and the French version is a bit bland."

The screenwriters quickly quarreled, and Weiwei quietly listened to them arguing, and then suddenly cleared her throat: "Which version do you think is suitable for the first version?"

"French version."

"Hmm... Agreed, the French version."

"French version is fine."

Sure enough, Gu Tao is really able to guide everyone's emotions. The French version is what he thinks the first version is, and the subsequent versions are all derived from this version, supplementing some things that the first version lacked. Looking at the four parts together, you can see the differences in how people with different personalities across half of the world and from different cultural backgrounds deal with the same thing.

But without exception... they all end in tragedy. These four scenes are tragic.Weiwei believes that if these four films can produce the effects Gu Tao wants, they will be enough to leave a mark in film history.

"Remember, these four big era BJs must be picked out and highlighted!"

"But this kind of movie doesn't make money, boss."

"It's good-looking, so you can make money." Weiwei laughed: "The demon spirit, it's the demon spirit! It's a human and a demon spirit! It's not two people! Let me start choosing actors first. Make revisions and adjustments as soon as possible.”
