Chapter 203 If you don't like it, you don't like it, you need a reason (Part 2) (1/4)
Shen Changlin read the script, thought about it, and then said: "Two suggestions."
"You said."
"First, set the background of the story ten years ago..."
"ah?"
Yang Qing doesn’t understand...
Shen Changlin explained: "Times have changed. Let's talk about how much money can be carried in a bag, and how much can four people take away?
Nowadays, with the Internet, no one directly collects money for economic crimes. They are transferred from a few numbers on the Internet. At this time, if you rush in with a knife or a gun, and use cold weapons and primitive violence, it will appear Outdated. Judging from the height of human science and technology, this kind of violent behavior of direct robbery will become increasingly rare."
“…”
Yang Qing nodded...
Indeed, this robbery is a story full of originality. In the 1980s and 1990s, a large number of films were filmed in the United States and also in Hong Kong.
But in 2010, when we came to shoot such a story, he had a sense of dislocation of the times and a sense of logical loss. In fact, it was a sense of dislocation of time and space.
"Secondly...there is too much missing in the middle of your story!"
The so-called dropped means to lose energy...
The whole plot of "Chongqing Hot Pot" is based on the idea that a group of people in trouble dug a tunnel to reach a bank vault, but unexpectedly encountered a real robber.
The only important scene is the bank robbery, because it is the core of the central idea in the play; it is cut into two parts, with the introduction at the beginning and the climax at the end.
The structure is quite good, but the rest in the middle is a bit cold and hesitant...
The explanation is clear, but there are many scenes that make people distracted.
There is a long section in the middle, and when the tunnel is opened, the energy is exhausted.
Why?
Because there is no plot point to follow, let’s go to the next plot point!
In fact, the introduction of the heroine, the character Xiao Hui, took too long and seemed sloppy;
Moreover, the character Xiao Hui is not handled very satisfactorily. Whenever she appears, her energy will definitely be lost!
"You have already let the robbers see the holes in the vault at the beginning, and the audience also knows that their efforts to plug these holes are in vain, so they want to see how it will develop?
As a result, the plot never progressed, in fact it went a bit off track.
There is no point in explaining a bunch of history!”
"My suggestion is to make Xiaohui the big boss behind the scenes!"
"ah?"
"Ah what? She works in a bank and acts as an inside agent. The original plan was to come forward and rescue her co-workers who were being held hostage when the robbers came in. She was held hostage herself, and then the five of them escaped together... But then she met three old classmates. , learned about their digging plan... She tried to find a way for the two parties to meet, both sides would suffer, and she escaped alone with all the money... What a perfect plan!"
“…”
Yang Qing was stunned for a moment, then raised his thumbs: "Still awesome!"
Shen Changlin smiled and ignored him: "Then this heroine is very important. Find an actress suitable for playing a femme fatale... Or she may look very weak and look like a lotus goddess, but when she is cruel, it will make people shudder... "
"...I want Shi Shi to play this Xiao Hui!"
"Shi Shi... I've never played a villain before. I'll ask her about it later."
…
When Shi Shi came over, Shen Changlin and Yang Qing were chatting about the Sichuan Army...
"Our focus is not on the war. In other words, the five directors cannot all focus on the war... My suggestion is that you film a scene of the Sichuan troops leaving Sichuan..."
"Okay, we happen to have a lot of stories there!"
"Tell me about it!"
"What impressed me deeply was the story of a Taoist priest who came down from the mountain to join the army..."
Shen Changlin looked at him...hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded: "...Okay, make a film about a real Taoist priest going down the mountain!"
Yang Qing looked at his expression and thought there was something wrong: "...What's wrong?"
"fine…"
The little poet-reciting master... seems to have a movie called "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", which will be released next year...
If Yang Qing were to film it, would it be too embarrassing?
The story told by Yang Qing is very simple. It is about a middle-aged Taoist priest who goes down the mountain once a month to buy food on the mountain. Every time he eats at a breakfast restaurant, he then learns about the Sichuan army's departure from Sichuan. He thinks for a moment, goes back to the mountain, and brings enough luggage. , resolutely went down the mountain to fight against Japan...
The young apprentice looked at the back of the Taoist priest who went down the mountain to fight, and couldn't help asking: "Master, when will you come back?" He replied: "If you come back, the prosperous age will come; if you don't come back, then don't come back!"
"...Then you might as well film the story of Taoist Priest Li Yuan!"
"Li Yuantong?"
"The anti-Japanese Taoist priest... is very famous..."
"...I'll go back and check the information..."
"Well, it's best to combine the story just now with Daozhang Li..."
"What are we talking about?"
"Nothing...yo, who is this?"
Well, Shi Shi brought another best friend...
To be precise, she is not considered a best friend, but an employee, Kan Qingzi!
"Director Shen...Director Yang...I am Kan Qingzi..."
Kan Qingzi said hello politely, Shen Changlin and Yang Qing smiled and nodded, and the girl sat down.
"Whatever you want to eat, just order it and they pay the bill!"
"…good."
Shen Changlin looked at Yang Qing and said, "Shi Shi, do you have any ideas about playing a villain?"
"…I?"
Shi Shi was quite surprised...
"Is it director Yang Qing's new work?"
"Yes... forget it," Shen Changlin shook his head, looked at Yang Qing, and said: "Let's find an actress who can speak Chongqing dialect... Yang Qing, who is the most famous actress in Chongqing? ?”
Yang Qing didn't even think about it: "Liu Xiaoqing!"
"(ーー゛)"
Shen Changlin looked at him like this...
Yang Qing was a little embarrassed: "I'm too old..."
"Actresses from Chongqing: Yin Tao, Chen Zhihan, Huang Xiaolei, Gan Wei, Xiong Naijin, Zhang Xinyu..."
Kan Qingzi on the side took out his mobile phone and searched it, then handed it to Shi Shi, who started reading...
"Stop!" Hearing Huang Xiaolei's name, Shen Changlin shouted stop: "Huang Xiaolei..."
Yang Qing hesitated: "She is a comedian..."
Shen Changlin waved his hand: "...I tell you, my best thing is my vision... If you don't believe it, call her over for an audition, let her cut her hair short, and put on that kind of dark lip gloss..."
Shi Shi corrected: "That's not called blackening, it's called black rose color!"
"...all the same!"
"...Okay." Yang Qing nodded, and then said: "Liu Bo, I want to find Chen Kun, I want to ask Yu Entai for glasses, and Xu Dong wants to ask Brother Hu... What do you think?"
Shen Changlin didn't even raise his head: "...Chen Kun, forget it!"
"Ah? Chen Kun is from Chongqing!"
Shi Shi interjected: "He doesn't like Chen Kun, please find someone else!"
"Chen Kun...why?"
Yang Qing didn't understand. There were still people who hated Chen Kun?
"If you don't like it, you just don't like it. Do you need a reason?"
Shen Changlin asked back.
Yang Qing was a little embarrassed, and Shen Changlin asked: "You already have Brother Hu, why do you still use Chen Kun?"
"But Xu Dong is the second male lead...the first male lead must be able to suppress him!"
"Easy, find Liao Fan or Qin Hao, they will definitely control Brother Hu!"
