Chapter 454 Propaganda (2)

After deciding on the next step of action, the Art Group II immediately took action. The first step was of course to create a script, and at the same time to understand the details of the fight against the epidemic. Therefore, Yang Sen arranged for Lin Mu to visit Zhou Weiying and seek support.

After receiving Zhou Weiying's promise, Lin Mu returned to the office of Art Group 2. The office of Art Group 2 is not with the Department of Entertainment, but has another place, and the venue is large. In order to facilitate shooting, it is actually a studio.

At this time, several veterans from the second group of Art were there. The team leader Yang Sen served as director, deputy team leader Li Weibo, deputy director and music, Zhang Qian and producer; other members include: screenwriter Li Lei, He Wenjing; editor Xu Shan; lighting engineer, Lucichi, American Latino Lucich; scene props and costume design, Gong Wenbo, Xu Sheng, Zhang Yang, Frenchman Chanistin and other veterans, Lin Mu's position is a photographer.

Among them, only Li Lei, Xu Shan, Zhang Yang and Lin Mu were members of the original film crew, while the others were bands or staff members on the original passenger boat, as well as two foreign veterans, who were all interested in movies. Of course, some people came together with the great ambition to establish Hollywood in China. Of course, there are several naturalized civilian staff in each department, and all the actors are all the veterans, and who need to go on the same job.

After listening to Lin Mu's report, everyone was very happy. Yang Sen said: "Very good, we are discussing the script issue. You are back just in time, let's discuss it together."

Lin Mu heard this and found that everyone else had notebooks and pens in front of him. He hurriedly sat down and took out his own notebooks and pens. At this time, Li Lei, who was in charge of the script, said: "The initial idea of ​​our screenwriter department is to set the scene in a small rural area, of course, only part of the village, which can be divided into two parts, indoor and outdoor parts, and the indoor space can be divided into about 2-3. The advantage of this is that the personnel and scenes are concentrated, and the workload of changing scenes is reduced during the performance, making the performance more habitual."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Yes, excellent dramas are basically fixed in scenes, so the fewer the scenes, the better. Guan Jian is looking at the content."

Li Lei said: "The main content is this. We designed this drama to be divided into four acts. The first act is that the epidemic occurred and a large number of patients appeared in the village, which caused chaos among the villagers. At this time, all kinds of monsters and monsters appeared in the audience, and the demons danced randomly. However, the village cadres adhered to the principle, did not give in, and patiently persuaded the villagers. The second act was that the medical team came to the village, allowing the villagers to see hope. However, although the monsters and monsters in the village were calm on the surface, they were still leading the rhythm in secret, destroying the medical team.

The villagers were divided into two factions, but the medical staff and village cadres worked hard to bridge the work, so that the medical team could work normally; the content of the third act was that the government decided to close the village, and the monsters and monsters in the village took the opportunity to incite the villagers to make trouble and oppose it, but with the hard work of the medical staff and village cadres, they finally calmed the villagers' emotions and allowed the village to be quarantined smoothly; the fourth act was that the epidemic was successfully extinguished, the village was lifted, and some villagers also completely awakened. This is the general content."

Gong Wenbo said: "It is certainly possible to look at this content only. There are enough conflicts and conflicts, but the content we are doing now is still too simple, so it is best to enrich it."

Xu Sheng said: "I don't know if you have considered it, but I think it can be added to the plot of medical staff suffering from epidemic infection. This will not only sensationalize, but also highlight the courage and fearlessness of medical staff."

Li Weibo said: "This plot can be, and it should be, and this is a fact. We do have medical staff who have suffered from epidemic infection. At the same time, in the plot, we can also use the sacrifices of medical staff to move the villagers and make the villagers trust the medical staff."

Li Lei hurriedly recorded it in the notebook and said, "The plot is just a rough idea now, and of course the content needs to be refined in the later stage. Let Wenjing introduce some of the characters we have initially set."

So He Wenjing said: "First of all, it is the village cadres. This is the positive image in the play and the image representing the government. On the one hand, he insists on fighting against the monsters and monsters in the village, and on the other hand, he actively cooperates with the work of medical staff. We plan to set up 4-5 people, and the initially determined roles include the village chief and the village militia captain. These two images have appeared in many film and television dramas in the old time and space, and they are basically like that, and there are 2-3 village cadres."

Zhang Yang frowned and said, "Is that so glorious?"

Li Weibo shook his head and said, "I think there is no problem with being bright and honest. Since we are a representative of the image of the government, we need a bright and honest image. We think there is a problem because we are used to seeing this image in the old time and space, and have aesthetic fatigue. However, this problem does not exist in this era, at least there is no problem now."

Yang Sen said: "I won't discuss the role's overall situation for now. Now I'll just talk about the character's settings after the detailed script comes out. Do you think there is anything to add in the positive image?"

Zhang Qian said: "I think that joining at least one female cadre can reflect our strong policy of liberating women and the spirit of equality between men and women."

Gong Wenbo said: "I support this, and we should add a major female character, because it is in the positive image. It is also a way to adjust the plot."

Xu Sheng said: "I think the role of an intellectual should be added, because whether it is the village chief, the militia captain, or the female cadres, the cultural knowledge cannot be too high. However, in the face of the epidemic, there is enough scientific knowledge to deal with it. Because in the first act, medical staff have not yet entered the village, and there is a person with sufficient cultural and scientific knowledge to assist the village chief and deal with the monsters and monsters in the village."

Gong Wenbo said: "This suggestion makes sense. It really requires such a role. And after the medical team enters the village, he can also become a communication bridge between the village and the medical team."

Zhang Yang said: "But it feels a bit inconsistent to insert an intellectual in the countryside!"

Xu Sheng said: "It's not a sense of incongruity. Don't we have agricultural technicians! We can set up such a role."

Zhang Yang said: "But agricultural technicians are just technicians. According to Lao Xu's settings, it is not very suitable. It is best to be a college student."

Li Lei smiled and said, "This is easy to deal with, so he sets the role of a college student, the son of the village chief. After graduating from university, he gave up his work in the city and returned to his hometown to build a rural area."

Gong Wenbo said: "Yes, this setting is very good. It would be even better to add him a rural childhood sweetheart girlfriend."

Li Lei rolled his eyes and said, "This is not a plagiarism [rural love]."

Yang Sen said: "It's nothing to join such a girlfriend role. It can enhance the persuasiveness of college students giving up their work in the city and returning to their hometown. It just doesn't overestimate the main character and dilute the theme of the whole play. Just click on it."

He Wenjing said: "Let's talk about the villain, that is, the monsters and gods mentioned just now, first of all, the charlatan. Of course, this character can also be set as a woman, symbolizing feudal superstition; secondly, the landlord, of course, the former landlord, because the land in the family was divided during the land reform, so he always held a grudge against the government and destroyed the image policy of the government whenever he had the opportunity; and the officials of the former Qing Dynasty, because the Qing court was destroyed, could only go back to their hometown to settle down, so they were dissatisfied with the government like the landlord, and they also had the idea of ​​being reborn."

Xu Shan said: "The landlords and officials represent feudal remnants. Do these two roles overlap too much?"

Gong Wenbo said: "I don't think it's a coincidence. There are many types of feudal remnants. Landlords can serve as representatives of former local forces, while officials can represent the old and young people of the Qing Dynasty, each representing different types. This will also make the role types more abundant."

Xu Sheng smiled and said, "Yes, and since you have a remote idea, it is best to let this official have braids, such as like Mr. Zhao Qi."

Gong Wenbo laughed and said, "When it comes to Mr. Zhao Qi, I remember that I could add a role like "Jiujin Old Lady" as a representative of rural ideological conservatives, and my catchphrase is also 'one generation is worse than the next'."

Li Lei nodded and said, "This is OK, because there are also ordinary villagers in the play. As a representative of various small characters, there must be roles like Old Lady Jiujin in the countryside. Even characters like Ah Q can be considered."

At this time, He Wenjing was remembering the suggestions made by everyone in her notebook, so she did not introduce them for the time being. So Li Lei said again: "What suggestions do you have?"

Yang Sen said: "I just mentioned Ah Q, and I reminded me that I can add a character similar to a fake foreign devil. It is best to have a background in studying abroad and serve as a typical representative of admiring foreign countries."

Zhang Yang said: "In the countryside, can anyone study abroad?"

Gong Wenbo said: "This is OK. Isn't there any official from the Qing Dynasty in the village? This role can be set as the son of an official, so it would be reasonable for him to study abroad. This role can be compared with the son of a college student in the village to form a contrast, so that the plot will be stronger."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "It is reasonable to set this up, but there is still a problem. Even if you have a background in studying abroad, you cannot not understand our government's foreign achievements and achievements in administrative construction after returning to China. In this context, if you still have the idea that a foreign moon is rounder than China, isn't it unreasonable?"
