"You don't agree. Why don't you agree?"
Lin Wenxuan asked subconsciously, and everyone's eyes fell on Wen Ying's face.
Everyone thinks Wen Ying is a warrior!
A true warrior dares to challenge Director Lin’s authority, and a true warrior will fall down covered in blood under Director Lin’s authority!
Wen Ying wasn't afraid at all. "I know that adapting a novel into a movie can't have the exact same plot as the original. A proper adaptation is a refinement of the story. But I think the changes here are inappropriate."
Lin Wenxuan frowned, "Tell me, what's wrong?"
The air pressure in the room was very low, and Lin Wenxuan was already showing signs of getting angry.
Lin Wenxuan was immediately drawn to the book "Tangli Love" after stumbling upon it. Both the setting and the beautiful yet regretful love story resonated deeply with him. Because of his love for the book, he immediately sought out the original author and purchased the film and television adaptation rights. And because of his love for the book, he quickly launched the project without delay.
He is very demanding in casting for his films.
In his plan, this is an award-winning film.
With the same historical background and the same regrets in love, "Tangli Love" is not only a new film to be shot by Lin Wenxuan, but also a projection of Lin Wenxuan's mood when looking back on the past.
Lin Wenxuan believes that apart from the original author, no one else understands the book "Tangli Love" better than himself. No, the original author may understand the book "Tangli Love", but he does not understand Lin Wenxuan's own story, nor his ideas for adapting it.
Even the original author doesn’t understand it, so why should Wen Ying understand it?
This young girl may be good at writing stories, but she lacks life experience and she cannot understand her own state of mind!
Before Wen Ying even put forward any specific opinions, Lin Wenxuan already felt repulsed.
Wen Ying pretended not to understand Lin Wenxuan's expression. She acted like a complete idiot. "After the hero first expressed his affection for the heroine, her reaction was inappropriate. Personality determines a person's words and actions, and personality determines a person's choices. The heroine thinks she's an ordinary person, and the hero is very outstanding in the context of the times. Such a person suddenly confessed his feelings to the heroine. The heroine shouldn't be shy."
If it’s not shyness, what is it?
Oh, like in the original book, hiding like an ostrich?
It is difficult for men and women to unify their thinking. From a man's perspective, Lin Wenxuan really finds it difficult to understand girls' reactions.
If the person standing before her wasn't the renowned director Lin Wenxuan, Wen Ying would have seriously complained: Most men are ordinary and confident, thinking it's normal for outstanding girls to like them! Do they panic when faced with a confession from an outstanding girl? No! They take it for granted, even believing they deserve better!
Considering Lin Wenxuan's domineering demeanor, Wen Ying was very careful about her communication style. "You might not be able to appreciate this. It's not just the gender difference, but also the difference in experience. You're a famous director now, and when you were young you were a prominent figure in your school and workplace. You must have had many girls confess their love to you. You don't understand the incredible feeling of being favored by an outstanding member of the opposite sex."
Wen Ying never fights a battle unprepared. As early as when she was arranging an audition for Li Mengjiao, Wen Ying had specially learned about Lin Wenxuan's life.
Lin Wenxuan has an average appearance, but he's quite popular with women. After becoming famous, he relied on the aura of a great director, but before he achieved fame, he relied on his talent. This great director's life was incredibly smooth. In his youth, he wrote poetry and dabbled in photography, and later became a very successful director.
Why do you panic and hide when someone confesses to you?
Isn't it normal to be confessed to?
In her previous life, Wen Ying watched the movie "Tangli Love" first and then read the original novel. The movie was very well made, but this detail did not match the original novel.
Wen Ying approved of some of the adaptations.
Wen Ying does not approve of the adaptation here.
She thought it would be better not to change it and just shoot it according to the original!
Wen Ying insisted on her own opinion and tried to persuade Lin Wenxuan.
It can be seen from the casting of the movie that Lin Wenxuan is very stubborn and will not be easily persuaded by Wen Ying.
Seeing that Ying hadn't given in, Lin Wenxuan became annoyed and said, "Let's put this aside for now and continue talking about the rest of the story."
Lin Wenxuan gave her an excuse, but Wen Ying didn't back down. "The heroine's reaction here is wrong. How can we determine the plot later? The heroine's character has no anchor point, and it will feel disconnected."
Lin Wenxuan was really angry: "Then let's adjourn the meeting first!"
After saying that, Lin Wenxuan walked out of the room.
The screenwriter team looked at each other in bewilderment at the director's capriciousness.
"Teacher Xiaoyu, please be careful with how you talk to Director Lin. Director Lin has his own understanding of the story. As screenwriters, we are here to restore Director Lin's ideas rather than go against him..."
A screenwriter advised Wen Ying.
Wen Ying really wanted to roll her eyes: Just because you are all Lin Wenxuan's yes-men, Lin Wenxuan's movies can win various awards but never the "Best Screenplay" award.
What does this mean?
Explain that the movie's story isn't good enough.
Whether it was attracting box office revenue or winning awards, it all depended on Lin Wenxuan's personal ability. After Lin Wenxuan became famous, his appeal was so strong that the story became secondary.
Lin Wenxuan used his ability to fix the bug in the script.
Wen Ying had to admit that Lin Wenxuan was indeed awesome.
But the audience's reaction is the most real. The later Lin Wenxuan's films are released, the lower their evaluation of the film's story is. They are attracted by Lin Wenxuan's fame, the cast, and the inertia of watching movies over the years, not because they think Lin Wenxuan's films are particularly good or want to watch them!
The script is the weak point of Lin Wenxuan's films.
