On the fifth day in the village, the intense script reading finally came to an end, and three assistant screenwriters worked with Phytophthora to polish the script.They are all students who graduated from drama and film and television literature in colleges and universities in mainland China. In terms of age, they are not much different from Shanglu. Many of them are still in the internship and assistant period. Compared with Shanglu, their childish faces are even less Haven't taken it off yet.

They are good seedlings selected through GC's film and literature fund, and it is a rare experience to organize and modify scripts.However, they soon discovered that the young director's rhythm, intensity and demands were beyond their imagination.

And occasionally will bring the lead actor Ke Yu together.

It was the first time for Ke Yu to appear at the screenwriter meeting. Although no one spoke, his eyes revealed bewilderment, guard and suspicion.

Leading actors interfering with the script is what every screenwriter fears the most, but it is also the most powerless thing.When the competition for roles is the fiercest, between the male and female protagonists, and between the male and female protagonists, on the stage, various capitals exert pressure to fight, and off the stage, it turns into a battle for roles.I bring a screenwriter, you bring a screenwriter, I add a highlight scene, he adds a rival scene, or even join forces to create a sub-line alone is also common.The director and the screenwriter can't do anything about this kind of capital struggle, they can only watch a good show being added to a pot of bad stew.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the drama circle, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist in the movie circle.Even if the script is not changed and the film is shot according to the original shot, if the final editing is not complete, it will be "cut out", or it will be weakened and reduced to a special role for the supporting role.After several big-name actors were shady like this one after another, it became a mandatory clause in the contract to retain the final editing rights when they signed the contract.

"Teacher Ke is with us today."

The assistant screenwriters stood up and said hello.After all, it is so young that it is difficult to hide the content of the eyes.Ke Yu lazily tapped on the conference table, "What are you doing with a mournful face? Are you afraid that I will change the plot?"

"No no no..."

"I want to change it, but your business director doesn't agree." Ke Yu smiled and glanced at Shang Lu, "It's hard to bribe."

Shanglu calmed down: "You can try again."

The assistants all thought they were joking with each other, but Ke Yu's eyes dimmed.

What to try, he teased him last time when he was jealous, and then took the opportunity to throw him on the bed to play tricks on him, laughing at his inexplicable and low-level jealousy.As a punishment, he tried all kinds of poses and violent storms, tossing until the rooster crowed, but he didn't let him go.

In the next few days of reading, Ke Yu used the excuse of being in the play to stand all the time, not daring to touch the chair with his buttocks.Uncle Ming arranged for a chef to go nearby to make soup for him to nourish every day, and told him to keep it light and less oily.It was rumored that it was an ironclad proof of playing big names, but the old man insisted: "This is the usual treatment of the young grandmother of the business."

Shanglu pulled out a chair for him in a gentlemanly manner, and formally explained to the assistants: "Teacher Ke is very good at speaking, and he wrote all the monologues in "Boring". "

When he said this, the three of them were obviously taken aback.

Ke Yu sat down and opened the script that he must bring with him, "So today I'm here to do hard work for you three and the business director for free, don't just stand still."

The three assistant screenwriters, two female and one male, have very different personalities. The boys try their best to present a calm and positive appearance. They seem to be the type of role that they strive to become a team leader in the interview, but they are a little powerless when facing another girl.That girl is more aggressive than him, and she has a lot of physical strength when she speaks freely.The remaining one seldom expresses opinions, but he will observe Shanglu's expression to see if he is thinking, pondering or disagreeing.

Ke Yu focused on two tasks, while listening to their targeted opinions, he quickly memorized key words in another small notebook, and sometimes scribbled a few strokes.

Shanglu noticed his distraction, and tapped the tip of the pen on the table: "Mr. Ke, pay attention."

Ke Yu was like a bad student who was caught in class. She stabbed her face in front of the three assistant screenwriters, and coughed softly, "Okay."

Heard a few giggles.

In addition to fine-tuning the script again, the revision and adjustment of the storyboard is also on the schedule.Shanglu is a director who controls the overall situation, but he is also good at learning from others' strengths, and he is not the kind of lonely tyrant.The polish of the storyboard was advanced in the meeting with the photography team.

Film and television photography is a job that requires qualifications. The head of the photography team, Qi Danan, is not very old and has a few years of experience, but he has quite a few masterpieces.

"I thought you would choose Lao Fu." Ke Yu asked with a smile.After all, I have worked closely with him in Lijiang before, and I know his skills and aesthetics well.

Shang Lu did not answer directly, but asked, "Have you read the two masterpieces of Da Nan?"

The two were walking along the seawall of the port. It was just after dinner. They met not only villagers but also crew members along the way.Ke Yu didn't shy away from it, nodded and said hello generously, and then answered Shanglu: "Yes, I have seen it." "The styles of his two films are quite different, one is solid classical realism, the other is a bit dreamy and fantasy, And it was completed within two years, what does that mean?"

"It shows that although he looks silent and honest, he is actually very flexible, good at understanding and conveying, and also good at communicating."

Shanglu nodded approvingly, "He can abandon his inherent things. I need such a person, which saves communication costs."

The entire team is personally selected and approved by Shang Lu, and everything is ready—Dongfeng is not in debt, the script reading has been successfully completed, the actors’ early entry into the group is also in good condition, and the art group has completed the final revision. Ye Sen's house and Uncle Mei's house, including the alley where the bougainvillea will grow from bloom to death, are no different from what Shanglu requested.

The opening ceremony was held on the set.

The days and hours are calculated by GC, and there are particulars about how the incense table is placed and which direction it faces.The master said that the name "Pianmen" is yin, so we have to start from Yungui, because there is the main house; there are also many red envelopes, so the media's car and horse expenses are unprecedentedly high.

Shanglu has no taboos. Since the investor attaches so much importance to it, he will follow suit.He has his own sense of ceremony, dressed more formally than usual, white shirt with casual trousers, wristwatch cufflinks and perfume.

When we arrived at the scene, the table was covered with red velvet cloth, and roasted suckling pig and fresh melons and fruits were placed on it, and the statue of the patriarch Guan Gong was enshrined on the censer.The media seats were already full, and the cameras were lined up outside the cordon, all vying to get the best shot.

He doesn't like to be exposed, so he didn't arrange an interview session. When he was picked up by media cameras and topics, he just nodded his head as a gentleman. His smile was definitely not warm, but he was not indifferent either. up.

An auspicious time cannot be missed.According to the usual practice, the director is the first to present, followed by Nie Jinhua, the representative of the investor and the chief producer, and finally the other main creators.After the incense was burnt, everyone faced the media together and lifted the red cloth covering the camera together, and it was a good start.

This is a unique custom in the Chinese entertainment industry. Shang Lu was noncommittal about it before, but he was in it personally, and he truly felt the awe of Chinese filmmakers.

Everyone prayed with one heart for the success of one thing, which is related to ideals, dreams, careers and all ambitions in the art of light and shadow.Whether it is worshiping Guan Gong, the Bodhisattva, the Buddha, the Jade Emperor, the father-in-law of the land, or Tang Xianzu, this is probably the Chinese sense of ritual.

Ke Yu also wore a shirt, and the two of them dressed in the same style, standing together was very eye-catching.Xie Miaomiao joked: "Big red carpet and white shirts, you two seem to be going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a certificate."

Ke Yu calmly said, "Is it a good match?"

When Xie Miaomiao replied with a resolute "good match", he patted the lai see into Xie Miaomiao's arms: "You can really talk, I wish you a good match."

Su Huizhen was interviewed in the interview area with a smile on her face.She was a good topic, because she came out again, and even the gossip history of the declining wealthy families in the port area was also revealed.She knew very well that on such an occasion, she would never steal the show, she took off all the jewelry from her body, and she only wore a rose suit, looking graceful and generous.

"You have been out of acting for more than 20 years, what made you decide to return to the screen?"

"Why did you choose the movie "Pianmen" as the first film to come back to the screen? "

"Did you know Kojima before? Have you seen his works? You have partnered with so many movie stars before, how much do you expect from this cooperation?"

Su Huizhen spoke in a soft voice: "I like Keyu very much, and I also like Shanglu. These young people have unlimited potential, and let me see the future of Chinese movies, which seems to be shining in front of my eyes. The story of "Pianmen" is just Like the two of them, they are both shining stars. I am just an insignificant old actor. It is my honor to have the opportunity to hang this star with them before being completely forgotten by the audience and movie fans. "

What a beautiful statement.

The host was stunned for a moment because of the accident, and then he reacted and invited her to face the camera to take a picture.

Su Huizhen straightened her shawl and stood up again. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ke Yu and Shang Lu leaving together.

These days, she has bumped into the two walking together on the harbor seawall countless times.He didn't avoid suspicion at all, even the other main creators said, "I met a business director and Mr. Ke again today, hey, the two are talking about movies again!"

Doesn't seem to get tired of it.

Turning her eyes back, she smiled at the camera like a spring breeze.

In the evening, there is a kick-off banquet as usual. This is the most important project of GC since the beginning of the year. The banquet is huge. Su Huizhen brought Pei Zhihe to attend, which is not a violation of harmony.He could not stay in China for a few days and had to go back to the orchestra to tour. Nie Jinhua is a classical music fan. Knowing that Pei Zhihe is very important in foreign classical music circles, he paid more attention to his words and frequently brought the topic to him.

"I heard that you studied in France with the business director? One of you studied film and the other studied music. How did you know each other?"

Pei Zhihe, a very proud person, was annoyed by being received by kings and princes in Europe. He would not have taken Nie Jinhua seriously at first, but when he heard Shanglu, his face was still condescending and showing a little coldness Smiling: "We will know each other when the fate comes."

"Then I want to ask," Nie Jinhua said with great interest, "You must know that our business director has a lot of embarrassing things."

Pei Zhihe looked up at Shanglu through the flower basket in the middle of the round table, pursed the corners of his lips and raised his eyebrows: "No, he has no shame, only interesting things."

Su Huizhen smiled and hugged his shoulders, stroking his black hair and cheeks: "Silly boy, he won't make things difficult for me if he says something bad about the director—right, director?"

Pei Zhihe's eyes innocently refracted the starlight from the crystal chandelier hanging high in the hall, which was a kind of man-made but extremely luxurious ambilight.

"No. The most embarrassing thing about Phytophthora is that when I went to the countryside with me to collect wind, the mattress was stolen. He couldn't sleep without that bed, and he dragged me out in the middle of the night to record a strange bird call. In the end, I ran into someone else's wedding afterparty."

He paused, and looked at Shang Lu, Shang Lu obviously remembered this incident, and laughed tacitly.

"The result?" Nie Jinhua asked.

"In the end, they treated us as guests from the groom's side, and dragged us to drink wine and dance all night. I played the piano for them, and Phytolaca played the piano for them-he could play the clavichord, the clavichord The piano is very interesting. We will find someone to drive in the summer vacation, with a clavichord in the car, and collect music along the Mediterranean coast. I write music, he makes movies, and when we arrive in the village, he plays Bach for those Gauls, Latins, Germans. And some Messy ballads of Europa."

Ke Yu listened nonchalantly, resting his chin in his hand, with a smile on his face along with everyone else.

He just felt a little bored, as if it was difficult to concentrate on listening to Pei Zhi and these beautiful and interesting stories.The singing and dancing of the wedding, the sunshine, the smell of hops, the dust floating in the reeds, the peasants resting on the haystacks in the wheat fields covered with straw hats, and the crystal clear grapes in the Bordeaux manor are beyond his imagination.
