My singer girlfriend is super fierce

Zhao Jinglun was very happy that Ye Zhiqiu agreed to star.

In fact, with his current status and appeal in the industry, it is not easy to find a young actor.

Especially for this kind of main theme film, almost no one will refuse it, and they are even willing to act without any money.

The same is true for directors. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, even when shooting a main theme film.

In a movie, four great directors are each responsible for a short story. On the surface, they are co-directors and strong alliances, but secretly comparisons with each other are inevitable.

Everyone is a respectable person, and no one wants their short film to be compared on such an occasion, so they all worked hard.

But Zhao Jinglun immediately thought of Ye Zhiqiu, if not for any other reason than because of his popularity and appeal among the broad audience.

"One more thing." Zhao Jinglun said: "The crew will soon release a call for theme songs for this film to the whole country."

"It's a good opportunity. If you are interested, you can pay attention to it then."

"Okay." Ye Zhiqiu thought for a moment and agreed casually.

He has a lot of "inventory" of songs with main themes in his mind, and it wouldn't hurt to write one if the time comes.

"That's okay." Zhao Jinglun said, "I'll say hello to the relevant personnel later and ask them to contact you."

For Ye Zhiqiu, who has a ceiling-level status in the Chinese music scene, if he wants to submit a manuscript, there will naturally be dedicated personnel to receive it.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded and settled the matter initially. The two of them stopped talking about this topic and returned to the issue of "No Man's Land".

Early the next morning, Zhao Jinglun found Ye Zhiqiu.

"I watched the previous part several times last night." Zhao Jinglun did not say there was any problem, but instead said: "If I guessed correctly, the filming technique of the film at the beginning also deliberately created a coarse grained feel. It probably borrows elements from classic westerns like No Country for Old Men and U-Turn, right?”

"Yes." Ye Zhiqiu did not deny it.

"But have you noticed?" Zhao Jinglun looked strange and continued: "After the protagonist leaves the town and enters the no-man's land, there are some subtle changes in the shooting style."

"In other words, the 'western' flavor at the beginning has become increasingly diluted."

Ye Zhiqiu recalled it for a while, then nodded and said, "Indeed."

"Mainly... I feel that there may be some places that can be handled differently, but I'm not sure if it would be better."

"That's probably where the problem lies."

Zhao Jinglun said: "Your use of various shooting techniques is very mature, but you have too many ideas, and in the end you don't know which technique to use."

"You are a screenwriter yourself, and words are your strength, but sometimes words can become your obstacle."

"For example, at the beginning of the film, you used the 'voice-over' technique to enhance the atmosphere at the beginning of the story through the protagonist's narration. But in the film, the narration language is sometimes superficial, and instead becomes a narrative obstacle, making it appear that Directors don’t use images to tell stories.”

"You may have noticed similar problems yourself, so you subconsciously want to change them, but your previous perceptions cannot be changed all at once, which will cause you to be more 'tangled'."

Ye Zhiqiu listened carefully, and as Zhao Jinglun analyzed each detail in detail, he felt that he had vaguely caught something.

"Finally, my personal opinion."

Zhao Jinglun continued: "Actually, with the development of the art of film to this day, no one can say that the techniques I used in this film have not been used by anyone before. Then, every director's duty is to choose or arrange and combine a technique. , among the existing films, it is the most suitable method and style to express your content."

"As long as the task of 'desired effect' is achieved, it will be a good film and a good director."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jinglun smiled and said: "Besides, this is the first movie you have directed. You don't need to put so much psychological pressure on yourself. Just make it according to your own ideas."

......

After Zhao Jinglun and his party left, Ye Zhiqiu gave the crew a day off and started "retreat" himself.

In the room, he watched the early photos over and over again. As time went by, the mess in his heart gradually became clear.

His first few works can be said to have been smooth sailing, with one hit and the other popular. Therefore, he would unconsciously compare the box office expectations of "No Man's Land" with the previous ones, but at the same time, it also gave himself a great deal of success. psychological stress,

The film "No Man's Land" was indeed successful in a previous life, so he did not make any changes when filming.

But at the same time, my thinking is also imprisoned to a certain extent. When I feel that a certain scene can be handled differently or handled better, I fall into hesitation.

Zhao Jinglun woke him up with one word.

yes! This is the first movie I have directed. Why are you so worried about gains and losses?

If all the scenes in memory are copied without any personal touch, then what's the difference between being a director and being a bad one?

The worst thing is that it will be a box office hit.

To put it bluntly, with his current net worth, he can really afford to lose money on a small production worth 3000 million yuan...

After thinking about this, Ye Zhiqiu seemed to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and his thoughts suddenly became clear.

Immediately afterwards, it was time to write and write quickly - to change the script!

The first step is to delete the voice-over in the opening paragraph, which seems to be the main theme of the roll call, but is somewhat redundant and pretentious from the audience's perspective.

Sometimes, there is no need to say what the film wants to express, just let the audience watch it.

After modifying some lines and scenes, the film is more refined. Fortunately, there are not many adjustments to be made in the future, and we will just have to reshoot it when the time comes.

Ye Zhiqiu also adjusted the role of "prostitute" played by Li Wenwen.

He felt that although this character had bright spots in the original film, compared with the two extreme characters, the black shop owner and the black shop owner's wife, who had even fewer scenes, the character's attributes were simply weak to the extreme.

To put it simply, after his stunning appearance, he became a "tool man" who promoted the plot.

The original ending was that only the "prostitute" survived. At the end of the film, she returned to civilized society and found a job that matched her dreams.

In the dance studio where the sunlight penetrated, children in gauze skirts gathered around her and called her teacher, and the film ended in a warm atmosphere.

But from the perspective of the film's look and feel, this ending is actually a bit abrupt.

In fact, reality will not show a gentle side because of the suffering a person has suffered. More often, it will be cruel to the end.

After spending a whole day, Ye Zhiqiu finished revising the script and then called Li Wenwen.

"Come in!"

"Additional drama for you!"
