The director and producer of "The Best Screenwriter" have been very worried recently.
I don't know if it's because of the conflict of horoscopes, but I just sent away a legal expert who was involved in prostitution a while ago, and then I encountered a straight man from Kongtong who went on strike and ran away on a train overnight.
They were still struggling with this matter when Wang Zhen's group, who was drawn to the criminal investigation drama, found that his partner was arrested for drug use.
The director looked at the overwhelming reports about the man who was caught for drug use, and was as anxious as an ant on hot pan. He stayed up late until his eyes turned red.
He was so angry that he slammed the table several times, "Did I mess with the legal community?"
What are these things that are happening one after another?
There were more than a dozen people in the room, and no one dared to speak.
None of them was working on a project for the first time, but no matter how good or cool the project was, no one had ever encountered such a weird thing.
All the people who have been involved in gossip in the entertainment industry recently have been gathered together by them.
The meeting room was silent for several minutes. The director paused before speaking again, "Is it an auspicious day for us to start filming?"
The assistant director spoke cautiously, "Yes, the master calculated it. It's an auspicious day."
"An auspicious day?"
The director glanced over and asked, "Which gentleman did the calculation? How much did he charge you?"
The director gestured to another person opposite him.
The director took a deep breath and threw the script in his hand away, "RnM, give me back my money!"
After he finished speaking, he stood up and strode out.
The assistant quickly grabbed his hand and said, "No, no, no, no, director, they will definitely not refund you if you go."
The director shook off his assistant's hand and said, "I'll answer the phone!"
The assistant quickly let go when he realized that he had misunderstood.
When the director answered the phone, everyone in the room began to discuss in low voices, thinking about how to turn this wave of negative impact into positive benefits.
Just when everyone thought that they could use these incidents to gain sympathy and create a gimmick to make "Best Screenwriter" the most unlucky show in history for reverse publicity, the director pushed the door open with a click.
Everyone in the room immediately stopped talking.
The director looked at everyone in shock, "Why are you all so serious? Relax, everyone."
"By the way, who is that fortune teller you just mentioned?"
The assistant was speechless, "You don't really want them to return the money, do you?"
The director glared at him, "What nonsense! Am I that kind of person?"
"I'll give him a red envelope."
Everyone in the room was vaguely worried.
Could it be that the director has mental problems due to the stimulation?
The program team gives the screenwriters three days to write the script. The shooting content must be within half an hour and cannot be fragments. There must be a complete story.
Sun Hangyi was apparently not very good at writing emotional scripts, and he waited until one minute before the stipulated time before submitting the script to the program team.
Because the program crew attached great importance and caution to Gu Siye's joining, they sent the script to him and Lin Yanran as soon as they got it.
After all, any normal person would know that if Gu Siye were to be invited to participate in "Best Screenwriter", the seat he should be given would be the mentor seat.
Now that he has condescended to be a guest performer, the production crew is so pleased with him that they are afraid he will melt in their hands. For fear of wronging Gu Siye, they entrusted the most talented Guo Fang to film their group's scenes.
The shooting time is scheduled for two days later, and the production team is now setting up the scene for the play.
After Lin Yanran got the script, she wanted to know the contents so much that she resisted the urge to sleep and read through the script.
Sun Hangyi's script is very close to the topic, no matter the setting or the plot, it is as bloody as possible.
The background of the characters is the ancient court, and the protagonists are two brothers, the third prince Sheng Yi and the seventh prince Sheng Zhao.
Although the two are brothers, their experiences are completely different.
My younger brother has been loved and admired by everyone since he was a child.
But my brother was called an unlucky person since birth and suffered bullying and contempt from childhood.
Lin Yanran will play the role of younger brother Sheng Zhao.
This character is simple, innocent, kind-hearted and one of the emperor's most beloved sons, but she is a sickly beautiful porcelain doll.
Because Sheng Zhao had been weak since childhood, both his parents and his brothers loved him very much.
Once he accidentally entered a deserted palace with almost no one, and met his brother Sheng Yi, who had been raised there since childhood.
He was very fond of this older brother who was mature and somewhat cold, so he often came to play with him.
At first his brother ignored him, but he didn't give up.
After a long time, the brother finally couldn't defeat him, and the two of them became both brothers and friends and best friends to each other.
After reading the character prequels, Lin Yanran gained a preliminary understanding of the bond between the protagonists.
Because the theme is love, feelings naturally develop between the two people as they get along with each other.
Due to space constraints, Sun Hangyi did not write about how the two fell in love.
It is only mentioned briefly in the biography.
The official story begins when Sheng Zhao and Sheng Yi come of age, the old emperor becomes seriously ill, and the various princes begin to fight for power.
Although the emperor was seriously ill, he did not appoint a crown prince. Therefore, except for the helpless third prince, the other princes each set up their own camps, all eyeing the throne.
The former brotherhood was now vulnerable in the face of imperial power.
The seventh prince Sheng Zhao is lazy and doesn't like power struggles, but he is forced to stay out of it due to the situation.
But fortunately, he has a strong family and a brother Sheng Yi who is devoted to him.
The other party went through all kinds of difficulties in the struggle for power and helped him remove all obstacles.
Recruiting staff, buying people's hearts, recruiting soldiers, manipulating power, and even poisoning brothers...
The other party said that he would rather have his hands stained with blood than not lose the innocence in his brother's heart.
Sheng Yi did all the dirty things just to protect Sheng Zhao all the way and help him ascend to the supreme position smoothly.
Sheng Zhao was deeply moved and confessed his love to his brother.
However, this is where the plot twist comes.
On the eve of Sheng Zhao's enthronement, Sheng Yi, who had sworn to him the day before that he would never betray him, directly usurped the throne and became the emperor himself.
After he became emperor, he was afraid of his brother's former snobbery, so the first thing he did was to wipe out Sheng Zhao's supporters and even threw all of Sheng Zhao's family members directly into prison.
He then treated his brother as a prisoner, imprisoned him in his own bedroom, and did not allow him to go out or contact outsiders.
I learned that my brother had been working hard for so many years and even deceived my feelings and acted with me for ten years.
After knowing the truth, Sheng Zhao couldn't accept it. He cut off all ties with Sheng Yi and refused to see him again or say anything to him anymore.
At this time, after suffering bullying since childhood and finally enduring humiliation to win the throne, Sheng Yi found that he had lost the most important thing.
He had long been in love with his brother, but the other now hated him to the core and didn't want to even look at him.
The rest of the script is about how Sheng Yi tries to win back Sheng Zhao's heart, but Sheng Zhao remains indifferent and finally jumps off the building.
Lin Yanran read the script after nine o'clock in the evening.
After watching it, I felt less sleepy instantly.
This script is really too melodramatic.
Brothers in orthopedics, love and hate, chasing wives to the crematorium, forced love, be aesthetics, literature of jumping off a building...
It really has all the elements for a melodramatic film, it's impossible not to be melodramatic.
But precisely because Sun Hangyi paid too much attention to the melodramatic element, Lin Yanran discovered that his exploration and shaping of the characters was actually very one-sided.
After reading the entire script, he didn't feel much about the story and only had one idea in his mind.
Can I really shoot this? Don’t you worry about it not passing the review?
Lin Yanran immediately sent a WeChat message to Gu Siye.
light: Teacher Gu, have you finished reading the script? What do you think?
The other party was obviously not asleep either and replied to him directly.
moon: not so good
Originally, Lin Yanran thought she was an outsider, so she was a little worried that her perception was not sensitive enough and she couldn't get that point.
But now it seems that it’s not that he is not sensitive enough, it’s that he really can’t do it.
He felt that there were actually a lot of things that could be explored between the protagonists, but Sun Hangyi only focused on the superficial melodrama.
The characters are very one-sided, and the plot seems very exciting at first glance, but it lacks any depth, and the bond and entanglement between the two people are not so touching.
Lin Yanran suddenly became a little worried.
In fact, this is also the reason why he did not ask Gu Siye for help in the first place.
Many of these screenwriters are newcomers, and the topics are drawn randomly. Even if the program team gives them all kinds of fancy titles, there are still many uncertainties.
He didn't want Gu Siye to help him out and play a trick with him, but in the end it would affect the other party's good reputation over the years.
But now the facts have proved that he actually stepped on the place where he vaguely felt that the mine was buried.
Just as Lin Yanran was struggling, his cell phone rang.
It was Gu Siye who called.
"I saw you have been typing for a long time, but no information has been sent. What's wrong?"
The man's voice was still so low and gentle. It rang in her ears at night. Lin Yanran felt that it was very suitable for lulling her to sleep.
But he couldn't concentrate on appreciating it now.
Since Gu Siye asked this, it was obvious that he guessed what I was thinking.
So he didn't shy away from telling the other party directly, "I'm wondering if there are other ways to fix this script. I don't want it to affect Teacher Gu's reputation."
Gu Siye didn't follow Lin Yanran's words and asked him, "But this is also your screen debut, so you are not worried about the impact on yourself?"
“Of course I am worried.” Lin Yanran paused and admitted, “But I am second.”
Gu Siye was in an extremely happy mood, "So I am number one."
Lin Yanran smiled helplessly and speechlessly, "Do you really have to point it out, Teacher Gu?"
Gu Siye stopped teasing Lin Yanran and brought the topic back on track. "It's almost eleven o'clock, go to bed quickly. We can discuss the script with the director and screenwriter tomorrow and make some changes."
“Will the program team agree?”
"It's just some minor changes in the interpretation and plot advancement. The plot remains basically unchanged. They agreed."
After listening to Gu Siye's words, Lin Yanran thought about her role for a moment.
Before going to bed, he glanced at the script beside the bed and suddenly felt a little excited about the play.
He really wanted to know how Gu Siye would interpret the role of Sheng Yi.
