ace screenwriter

Although the crew rented the entire village for filming, they did not live in the village. They lived in a hotel in a nearby town, and took the shuttle bus back to the town to rest after work. They also contracted out the meals to the restaurant in the town, and the other party delivered box lunches every day. When I came here, the conditions were very difficult, and I couldn't even catch up with the filming in Huangshan last year.

Yuan Yuan looked at Gu Yuren: "You seem to have lost weight, why is it harder than filming yourself?

Gu Yuren laughed: "Can I spend other people's money the same as others spend my money?"

Yuan Yuan also couldn't help laughing: "How is the shooting going?"

"It's okay, it's going well. Some minor accidents are expected." Gu Yuren carried Yuan Yuan's luggage and stepped into the high threshold of an old house.Yuan Yuan noticed that his legs and feet were not very agile, and quickly asked, "What's the matter with your legs?"

Gu Yuren said: "It's okay. It's raining continuously in this dilapidated place, and the old wound hurts a bit."

Only then did Yuan Yuan realize that his favorite rainy south of the Yangtze River was not very good for Gu Yuren, as long as it rained, it would become a kind of torture, and his old wound would ache: "It's raining How long has it been?" He went to snatch the box in Gu Yuren's hand, but was blocked by Gu Yuren, he still carried it and walked in, and entered a room, Yuan Yuan noticed that all the boxes were stored here, and they were guarded by special personnel of.

"It's been more than a week, and it's endless." Gu Yuren put the box in that room and asked the administrator to take care of it.

"Then are you feeling bad?" Yuan Yuan was still concerned about Gu Yuren's injury.

"It's okay, we'll be fine when the weather clears up. Have you had lunch yet?" Gu Yuren asked.

Yuan Yuan said: "Eat casually in the car."

Gu Yuren raised his hand to look at his watch: "It will take two minutes until dinner is over, let's go find something to eat first. Come with me."

Yuan Yuan followed Gu Yuren to the set.The film crew was busy, filming a conflict scene between the hero and his father. At this time, Wang Peng was still a young man. He had just married and had a child, and he was still obsessed with woodcarving.Wang Yuxia made up very young and looked like he was in his twenties. He was wearing a coarse cloth jacket, bent down to pick up the wooden sculpture that his father had broken, and rubbed it carefully, his face full of distress.The father in a silk gown pointed at him: "You, you..." Then he turned around and took a broom from the corner of the room to whip him, but Wang Peng grabbed it with one hand and said, "Father, you would rather I do it!" Big Smoke doesn’t want me to be a carpenter, does he?”

The gray-bearded old man Wang was so angry that his beard trembled: "You bastard, you bastard..."

The director made a "click": "Do it again, the emotion is not in place."

Yuan Yuan stood watching the scene, and took advantage of this time to greet the director. Li Lin sat on the high chair next to the camera, glanced at Yuan Yuan coldly, and did not make a sound.

Gu Yuren came over and gave Yuan Yuan a hand: "Brother, eat some of this first, and eat later."

Yuan Yuan looked down and saw that Gu Yuren was holding a biscuit box and handing it to him: "Where did you get it?"

"Just tell you to eat." Gu Yuren said with a blank expression.

Yuan Yuan took it, and heard an actress behind Gu Yuren smile and say: "Mr. Gu, I dare you to find snacks from me, but you didn't eat them yourself."

Only then did Yuan Yuan know that the biscuit was from someone else, and he smiled at the other party apologetically: "It's your biscuit, thank you, I'm not hungry, return it to you."

"Eat, eat, it doesn't matter, it's all given by fans, I'm also borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." The actress is called Zhuo Qian, and she plays the role of Wang Peng's wife. After playing for many years, it is natural to know that the person Gu Yuren Gao takes a look at is definitely not a simple person.

"Thank you then."

An assistant looked for two folding chairs very winkingly, Gu Yuren took them over, put one under Yuan Yuan's buttocks and asked him to sit on it, and then sat down beside him, and then said to Zhuo Qian: "This is the chair." The first one is Teacher Yuan Yuan, the screenwriter of our script."

Zhuo Qian hurriedly extended her hand to Yuan Yuan to shake hands: "Mr. Yuan, hello, hello!"

Yuan Yuan's hands were stained with biscuit oil, he looked at his hands with some hesitation, Gu Yuren conveniently took a piece of paper from the table next to him and handed it to him to wipe his hands. The eyeballs are almost popping out, what is the background of this screenwriter, let the boss serve him!Yuan Yuan didn't have time to think about whether this was suitable, so he wiped it off quickly, and shook hands with Zhuo Qian: "Hello!"

Zhuo Qian said: "I know Mr. Yuan, you are also the one who wrote "Hidden Dragon". It turns out that you are so young, I am really admirable."

Yuan Yuan hurriedly said: "You are too generous."

Gu Yuren's cell phone rang, Ning Xiuwu had something to do with him, so he left Yuan Yuan and left.Zhuo Qian came over to have a chat with Yuan Yuan, and some staff around her were also whispering: "So this is the real screenwriter, no wonder I don't look like that Li Lin."

"That's right, with her high-spirited appearance, it doesn't seem like she can write such a profound script."

"Shhh-be quiet, don't listen to others, or you will be overwhelmed. The director is her husband." Someone said in a low voice.

Yuan Yuan found that Chen Xian is a very serious person, his style is different from Jiang Szeng's. Jiang Sizeng has strict requirements for filming, but he is very relaxed outside of filming, while Chen Xian is rigid both in and out of the film. With a serious face and no smile, the atmosphere of the entire crew was not relaxed. Except for a few big-name actors, no one dared to joke or speak loudly.

When returning home at night, Yuan Yuan couldn't help complaining about this to Gu Yuren, Gu Yuren said: "It's better to be serious, this play is also a serious play, and the director has strict requirements, so everyone will cheer up Work."

Yuan Yuan was right after thinking about it, no matter what the director's style is, as long as the film is well shot, he changed the subject: "My script is finished, do you want to take a look?"

"Did you mean 'The Gates of Hell'?"

"Correct."

"Okay."

Because there were too many crew members, one hotel was not enough to live in, and they were divided into three hotels to live in. Yuan Yuan had to squeeze another room with Gu Yuren.The environment of the town is not much better. There are private houses behind the hotel. In the alley, the sounds of old people coughing, children playing, the sound of TV, and even the sound of housewives cooking and splashing water can be heard clearly. The atmosphere of life is quite strong.

Yuan Yuan looked at the dimly lit streets and alleys outside the window: "Will it be too noisy at night?"

"Fortunately, the small town becomes quiet after dark, and the daily routine is basically the same as the sunrise. It's just that the room is too damp, and it feels like water can come out of the quilt." Gu Yuren lifted the quilt Kai sat down, took out a bottle of Huoluo Oil, and prepared to rub the medicine.

Yuan Yuan came over: "Let me help you, rub it on your legs, right?"

Gu Yuren, who had just taken a shower, put on a pair of knee-length shorts and stretched his legs on the bed.Yuan Yuan poured the oil into the palm of his hand and rubbed it, then covered Gu Yuren's calf and began to rub it.Gu Yuren said: "Thank you. I can't sleep at night without rubbing it. It hurts too much."

Yuan Yuan said, "I'll help you. Maybe tomorrow will be sunny."

Seeing Yuan Yuan rubbing the medicine for himself, Gu Yuren took Yuan Yuan's script and turned it over. Yuan Yuan rubbed it for him and asked how hard it was: "Is this okay? Do you want to make it heavier?"

"Well, it doesn't matter if it's heavy." Gu Yuren set his eyes on the script, but his attention was attracted by the hands on his legs, and he didn't read a single word.

Yuan Yuan thought he was reading the script, lowered his head and said, "I think it's quite suitable for you to play Lin Changsheng. I heard that Director Jiang also talked to Sister Ning, saying that the salary was too high and he couldn't afford it."

Gu Yuren finally came to his senses: "Ah? What?"

Yuan Yuan stopped, raised his head and said to Gu Yuren: "Director Jiang said that Sister Ning asked for a salary of 1200 million yuan, and he thought it was too expensive, so he asked you for around 600 million yuan. I think 600 million yuan is too low. You starred in "The Hidden Dragon", which cost at least 800 million yuan. If you want to act, ask Ning Jie to discuss the salary with him, so why don't you care about the 200 million movie salary for such a high-investment movie."

Gu Yuren couldn't help curling his lips: "Director Jiang became a producer himself, so he knew that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, so he was so stingy. But 200 million is not a small amount. My senior brother didn't care about 200 million when he saw a lot of money. It's all over."

Yuan Yuan blushed: "If the money was mine, 200 million is already a huge sum of money, and that's all the money I have so far. But 200 million is really nothing compared to the 1.5 million investment. What, and your original net worth is 800 million, I'm afraid you will suffer too much."

"Thank you, brother, for thinking about it for me. Let Sister Ning and Director Jiang discuss this matter. Sister Ning is a good negotiator." Gu Yuren said, "Continue, brother, I felt a little bit just now."

"Oh, good." Yuan Yuan came to his senses and continued with his movements.

Gu Yuren blocked the script in front of his eyes, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The day after Yuan Yuan arrived, the sky cleared up, and the dark clouds that had been in the past few days finally dispersed, revealing the blue sky washed by water, which was reflected in the mirror-like pond together with the white-walled village of Daiwa. It is not clear which is real and which is illusion, like a quiet and beautiful picture scroll, people can't help but hold their breath, for fear of disturbing the calm of the water.

Gu Yuren stood in the sunshine and smiled at Yuan Yuan: "Brother, you are really an angel of sunshine, the sky will be sunny as soon as you come."

Looking at his face, Yuan Yuan felt that his whole body was shining brightly, and he felt that his eyes were dazzled and his heart was confused.

After reading the script that Yuan Yuan brought back, Gu Yuren asked Ning Xiuwu to talk to Jiang Sizeng. The salary can be increased a little. To save money for Jiang Szeng is to make a movie for him, and he wants to come here to make a movie for himself. , Anyway, they are all contributing to the film industry, there is no difference.

Yuan Yuan stayed in the crew, and Gu Yuren gave him a task, let him keep an eye on the script and Li Lin, and don't let her have a chance to intervene in changing the script.Yuan Yuan felt that Li Lin's mentality was like using a movie as a toy, no matter what, he wanted to write two lines of lines written by himself, which would give him a sense of accomplishment.Sometimes Yuan Yuan even thought, if she wanted to show off so much, why didn't she tell her husband not to pay for a movie she wrote, it was really immoral to harm other people's movies like this.

The film protection month is coming, and the upcoming films are all doing their best to promote them. Among them is Wang Ruize's "Crouching Dragon". , to attract the attention of female viewers. "Crouching Dragon" is scheduled for June 6, and they screened it on May 12.

The next day, Yuan Yuan swiped Douban with his mobile phone to read its film reviews. One of the film reviews was written like this: "I don't know what to say after watching it. I don't know what story I want to express. I dare to show such a film. , why don’t you show it directly, at least you can fool the first audience.” Yuan Yuan almost died laughing, but unfortunately no one shared it with him. Gu Yuren went back to Beijing to attend the premiere of “Meeting Love”. Haven't returned to the set yet.

Yuan Yuan copied several film reviews and sent them to Gu Yuren: "What kind of story do you think he filmed?"

Gu Yuren quickly replied: "Yesterday, I took the time to contribute to their box office. I left after watching half of it. It's just a fashion show. It's not called a movie, it's a ppt. See his movie I'm relieved that it's so rotten, it's best if I don't have any underwear left."

Yuan Yuan suppressed a smile and said, "He's not worried about that. Now there's a saying that the more bad a movie is, the more money it can make. Now that he's promoting it so well, the box office must be several hundred million."

Gu Yuren said: "It's a pity that it was born at an untimely time. I heard some news that they only had 14.00% of the first day's schedule. It is almost impossible for a bad movie to rely on this schedule to counterattack. He is promoting more and more now." If you work hard, you will lose more. Do you think publicity is free of money? If I were an investor, I would ask him to save a little effort in yelling, and share the money saved, how nice it is!"

Yuan Yuan discovered that meanness is actually one of Gu Yuren's attributes. He had learned it when we first met, but later he behaved too purely and made him ignore his nature.

When "Encountering Love" was released, it also encountered a blockbuster movie, but "Encountering Love" is a low-budget movie, and romance films have always had an advantage. As long as it is novel, it is easy to make money.Gu Yuren's box office appeal is still good. The box office sold 1000 million on the first day, and the total investment of this movie is 500 million. This is mainly due to the high salary of the actors. It is considered a low-cost production. As long as the box office exceeds 500 million, the movie will make money. The first day of release is not a weekend, and it can break [-] million, so making money is no problem.

"Meeting Love" earned more than 5000 million at the box office in its first weekend of release, and the movie is sure to make money.Yuan Yuan said that he was going to see a movie in Huangshan City. Gu Yuren has been filming for so many years, and this is his first romance film. Yuan Yuan has never seen what it is like for him to talk about love with others, so he is looking forward to it.

When Gu Yuren heard that Yuan Yuan was going to watch "Meeting Love", he disagreed: "You don't need to watch it, the movie is so-so, nothing interesting."

Yuan Yuan held up his mobile phone and said, "The film critics have rated you very highly, and they have named you a love saint. In the past few days, your fans have increased by more than 100 million. I'm going to check it out."

Gu Yuren said: "Brother, do you want to see my affectionate appearance?"

"Are you still afraid that I won't see it?" Yuan Yuan laughed.

Gu Yuren stared at Yuan Yuan: "Then why do you want to look far away, the deity is right in front of you, if you want to see it, I'll show it to you. Don't move, look into my eyes."

There was still a playful smile on Yuan Yuan's face, but Gu Yuren had stopped joking and became serious. After a while, his eyes changed, Yuan Yuan felt the emotion in his eyes, affectionate, pampering , such as a Wang deep spring, can almost drown people.The smile on Yuan Yuan's face disappeared, he only heard his heart beating, feeling a little out of control, and his emotions followed Gu Yuren.His reason warned him: stop, this is just acting.

Even though he wanted to drown in that deep affection, reason finally defeated emotion, Yuan Yuan raised his hand and covered Gu Yuren's eyes: "Okay, junior brother, I'm convinced, don't talk to me next time." The electric discharge, the hairs stand on end."

Gu Yuren took Yuan Yuan's hand away: "Senior brother, you are really hairy, I will give it a go. I just want to persuade you not to go to the movies."

Yuan Yuan said, "You don't want me to watch your movie so much?"

"No, it's because I watch the movies I made that are particularly awkward, because I know what's going on, so I feel very embarrassing." Gu Yuren said.

Yuan Yuan said: "Then you don't go to see it, I will go."

"Brother, are you too busy and have nothing to do? Help me finish this rabbit, the eyes should be opened." Gu Yuren took something out of his pocket and put it in Yuan Yuan's hand.

Yuan Yuan looked at the red sandalwood rabbit lying in the palm of his hand. It was bright red in color and oily to the touch. It turned out to be in good shape. He was a little surprised and said: "You have polished it? It's just right. I'm going to buy some tools tomorrow. Open your eyes for you."

Gu Yuren was a little dumbfounded: "Where are your tools?"

"In Beijing, I didn't take it with me."

"Then go back to Beijing and figure it out."

"I happened to go to the county to visit Master and ask him for advice. I have never carved eyes before, so I'm afraid it won't work well," Yuan Yuan said.

Gu Yuren originally wanted to keep Yuan Yuan, but he didn't expect this move to push him away.The next day, despite Gu Yuren's objection, Yuan Yuan went to the city to watch "Meeting Love". After watching it, Yuan Yuan regretted a bit. In addition to the kissing scene, there was also a sex scene, although it was only for a few seconds. clock shot.

After Yuan Yuan came back from watching the movie, he didn't mention anything about the movie, and Gu Yuren also tacitly didn't mention it, as if it never happened.Yuan Yuan learned how to carve eyes from his master, but he didn't dare to carve on the red sandalwood rabbit. He first found a piece of wood to try and carve, and felt that it was almost done. Then he started to carve the red sandalwood rabbit. Red sandalwood is a hard wood, and it cannot be carved without strength. , the rabbit is a little small, it has been polished very smooth, and its head is round, so when the blade was carved, it scratched the finger, and the sharp knife left a deep wound on the index finger , Blood beads gushed out immediately.

Yuan Yuan threw away the carving knife, pinched his fingers with his right hand, and rushed to flush the water.Gu Yuren noticed something was wrong, so he hurried over and saw his wound, his heart ached so badly: "Brother, why are you so careless, does it hurt?"

Yuan Yuan said: "It's okay, whoever does sculpture doesn't cut his fingers a few times. A small injury, it will heal soon."

Gu Yuren couldn't help complaining to him: "You know you'll cut your fingers, why do you still learn this? You just write the script, and you don't need to act. Wait, I'll find you medicine." After speaking, he ran away in a hurry After going out, a few minutes later, he came back with alcohol and a band-aid, carefully took his hand to help him disinfect with alcohol, and put a band-aid on it, "Forget it, that's it, the rabbit's eyes don't need to be carved."

Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, there's only one left. I'll carve it when my hand is ready."

Gu Yuren yelled at him: "Whenever it is engraved, I don't need it if I say no."

"If you don't want to engrave it, what's the matter with engraving one and leaving the other. Don't worry about it, I will fix it." Yuan Yuan said.

Gu Yuren took the red sandalwood rabbit and put it in his pocket: "The things have already been given to me, I have the final say!"
