Chapter 374: Sweeping the Dark Storm
"Lost on Journey" is aimed at the Spring Festival box office.
Yu Xiaoshu had already decided on this when he first started writing the script. In fact, his script will only be effective if it is released during the Spring Festival.
Because this script is full of the flavor of the Spring Festival Gala.
If the film was released in another period, the effect would not be compromised, and the sense of immersion in the entire film might be lost.
That’s exactly what Yu Xiaoshu said during the interview.
"This movie has and will only have one release date, which is the Spring Festival."
Yu Xiaoshu said this at the launch conference.
"Why do you have to choose the Spring Festival period? And there is such a short time, from shooting to post-production, and then to the release, there is also publicity. Teacher Yu, do you think it is in time?"
A reporter asked a question.
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "I believe that in the past two years, everyone should still be confident in my speed in making films. As for why I chose the Spring Festival period, it's very simple. This is a movie for everyone to watch during the Spring Festival."
Next are a few questions in turn.
Of course, Yu Xiaoshu answered them one by one.
Of course Yu Xiaoshu will work very hard to promote the movie.
However, as for the choice of director this time, Yu Xiaoshu said: "I am the screenwriter of this film, and I am also responsible for the post-production, but the director of this film is not me, but Li Qing."
"What??? Mr. Yu, you said you don't want to be the director of this movie???"
"Teacher Yu, do you think this movie is not worthy of you being the director?"
“Why not direct this time?”
…
Looking at the many media reporters, Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand and said, "I said that I am the screenwriter of this movie, and I am also responsible for the post-production. If I think this movie is not good, why would I bother with this?"
After hearing what Yu Xiaoshu said, everyone frowned and asked, "Then why don't you become a director?"
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head slightly and said, "I am not actually a director of Let the Bullets Fly. I can only be considered half a director. Even most of Let the Bullets Fly was directed by Li Qing, but many people did not pay attention to Li Qing's name. I think this is unfair to Li Qing. Although Li Qing's name is written on the film, it is useless. In this case, I want Li Qing to direct a movie independently. He needs to prove himself..."
When they heard about Yu Xiaoshu, some people actually expressed their understanding.
Or let’s put it this way.
No one expected Yu Xiaoshu to speak so bluntly.
You know, before this, there were actually many directors who just put their name on the film, some influential people, and they didn’t even need to go to shoot, they just needed to put their name on the film, and the assistant director would do it.
When the film comes out, the assistant director will not have any chance to show his face, and he won’t even be credited. The famous director will be the director.
Many people have become accustomed to such things.
The industry is used to it.
Anyway, as long as the character is well established, there will be a bunch of fans to pay for it.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaoshu did the exact opposite.
Because of the huge success of "Let the Bullets Fly", it can be said that as long as Yu Xiaoshu's name is attached, it doesn't matter who directed the movie, everyone will only recognize him.
What a result.
Yu Xiaoshu actually didn't do that.
What is he trying to do?
All of a sudden, many people started discussing it.
Obviously, Su Qing, who knows Yu Xiaoshu best, said: "Obviously, this is another rebellion of Yu Xiaoshu against capital. He, Yu Xiaoshu, will never do such a despicable thing. One is one, and two is two."
You know what I mean, this statement really makes many people feel that it is true.
That's right.
Come to think of it, it makes sense.
Why can you just sit back and enjoy the fame and fortune by having your name on the credit, while the people who do the work not only get the least, but they don’t even have their own name on the credit? ?
So, the entertainment industry began to use Yu Xiaoshu as a template and started to correct some people.
Many people in the industry are actually somewhat unhappy with Yu Xiaoshu.
"Is this Yu Xiaoshu crazy? Why is he always there?"
"I'm really drunk too. I really can't figure out what Yu Xiaoshu wants to do?"
"Yes, Yu Xiaoshu is the one who broke this rule."
…
Some people in the circle really hate Yu Xiaoshu.
In their opinion, it was all because of Yu Xiaoshu breaking the rules.
But it is precisely these people who have been breaking the rules. However, just because they have been accustomed to such rule-breaking behavior, they do not feel that they have done anything wrong.
Yu Xiaoshu was too lazy to pay attention to these discussions anymore.
He followed the crew for a while, and it must be said that Li Qing's filming skills are quite good, and there is absolutely no problem with his directing.
On the other hand, Luo Yuan and Su Dong’s TV series has officially begun preparations.
The script is pretty good.
It's called "Justice".
This drama is clearly about seeking justice.
Because Su Dong was going to direct, quite a few people came to participate.
Many of the actors listed so far are first-line stars.
Yu Xiaoshu was not surprised that these first-line stars came to star in Su Dong's TV series.
For Yu Xiaoshu, Su Dong's drama is bound to flop.
He trusts his own judgment.
However, Yu Xiaoshu did have an idea.
He also wants to write a TV series.
Of course, Yu Xiaoshu really didn't want to meet Su Dong.
So as to avoid any further misunderstanding.
Yu Xiaoshu was not afraid of Su Dong, he just didn't want to cause misunderstanding.
After all, there is really nothing to be afraid of about Yu Xiaoshu today.
On the contrary, Su Dong might be afraid of Yu Xiaoshu.
At this time, Yu Xiaoshu found another director.
It’s not from Baiqian Media.
This is a person who currently has no works to shoot because his last TV series failed.
Wang Yang.
The last TV series directed by this director set the worst record. Not only did the ratings fall below 1, but the word of mouth was also extremely bad, with a rating of only 3 points on Douhu.
This is pretty bad.
Of course, Wang Yang had no choice, because the investors had been forcing people into the TV series. Not only did the investors force people into the series, they even fucking modified the script.
Many times, Wang Yang himself was helpless.
And today, Yu Xiaoshu came to find Wang Yang, and Wang Yang was very happy.
"Teacher Yu, I have time. Of course I have time. Tell me, what should I do?"
Wang Yang said excitedly.
For Wang Yang, he is indeed a little embarrassed now.
The embarrassment comes from the fact that Wang Yang has a certain status. He simply cannot bring himself to bend down and become an assistant director. After all, some assistant directors used to follow him. If you ask his master to do this, he cannot do it.
Another reason is that it is difficult for Wang Yang to direct a drama independently because his last drama flopped so badly that others would not consider it so much and would just think it was his problem.
So, Wang Yang, who now had no works to shoot, welcomed Yu Xiaoshu, and of course he was happy.
"I have a play to shoot. Here is the script. Please take a look at it first. We can talk after you finish reading it."
Yu Xiaoshu said as he handed the script to Wang Yang.
Anti-gang storm.
That's right.
When Su Dong and Luo Yuan were talking about cracking down on gangsters and eliminating evil, Yu Xiaoshu was already preparing to shoot this work.
The TV series "Sweeping Dark Storm" is quite good, but the premise needs to cut a line.
They are Lin Xing and Huang Xi.
It’s not that we want to cut them all off, but we don’t want them to steal the show.
To be honest, these two people added too much drama.
Even what can I say about the acting skills of these two people?
It depends on one's opinion.
So Yu Xiaoshu made some changes to the script, of course, we will talk about this later.
At this time, Wang Yang had already started reading the script.
In September 2018, the police arrested a gang that illegally smuggled fuel, led by Yu Dasheng, nicknamed Fish Head. He Yong, the leader of the anti-gang detachment of the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Public Security Department of Zhongjiang Province and the leader of the 915 special case team, followed the clue of Yu Dasheng and confirmed that 14 years ago, Ma Shuai asked Yu Dasheng and Yang Dong to beat Mai Zili.
A shocking case slowly surfaced. At this time, Ma Shuai was detained in the No. 1 Detention Center of Luteng City, Zhongjiang Province. "Former criminal policeman" Li Chengyang was reading him the documents on cracking down on gangsters and eliminating evil, but Ma Shuai was eating all kinds of seafood and sashimi in the detention center, which shows that the guards here have been corrupted by evil forces. Li Chengyang joined Ma Shuai's Xinshuai Group ten years ago and is currently the legal advisor of Xinshuai Group.
On September 21, 2018, the 36th Central Supervision Group entered Luteng City, Zhongjiang Province, to carry out anti-gang and anti-evil and down-to-earth supervision work. Luteng City, which was like a stagnant pool of water, ushered in a ray of light, which also meant that the fragile balance between black and white in Luteng City was completely broken. Mai Zili's wife Xue Mei recorded a video to report Ma Shuai by real name, accusing Ma Shuai of killing her husband Mai Zili.
She said in the video that on June 19, 2004, Ma Shuai called Mai Zili out, but he never came back. Later, Xue Mei wanted to seek justice for her husband on the way to Luteng City with the supervision team, but she was hit and killed by someone who was obviously very purposeful. After hitting and killing Xue Mei, he took her body to the suburbs in the dark and windy night and buried it.
…
After seeing this, Wang Yang felt his scalp tingling.
Because this is too audacious.
Xue Mei was hit and killed in the street.
And the supervisory team knew nothing about it.
Of course, that’s not all, this is what Ma Shuai will do later.
Ma Shuai directly committed self-harm.
Why did he hurt himself???
It can be said that Wang Yang became interested in the beginning of this drama.
Not to mention the second episode.
Gao Mingyuan is really amazing.
…
Lao Ning took the camera that Xue Mei used to report Ma Shuai to Gao Mingyuan. Gao Mingyuan had a lover named Mai Mengmeng, the daughter of Xue Mei and Mai Zili. Gao Mingyuan replaced Mai Mengmeng with a new ID card, which showed that Mai Mengmeng changed her name to Mai Jia. Not only that, Gao Mingyuan also got Mai Jia a graduation certificate from Ivy League University, trying to get her to break away from the identity of Mai Mengmeng. At this time, Mai Mengmeng didn't know that her mother had been killed by Lao Ning under the instruction of Gao Mingyuan.
…
Judging from the plot, I'm afraid even the killer Lao Ning is not as good as Gao Mingyuan Jue.
Damn it, he was hugging someone’s daughter while killing her parents.
Is this something a human would do?
Next it was Huang Xi’s turn to appear.
Yu Xiaoshu had thought that if Huang Xi had been played by someone with better acting skills, or even someone who was a little more experienced, the plot would have been completely different.
Because how can an undercover reporter be like this?
After all, Meilidai is very close to reality.
At the same time, Yu Xiaoshu did not make the plot so bloody regarding the interaction between Lin Hao and Huang Xi.
Again, these two people are not important.
Of course, the relationship between Sun Xing and Gao Mingyuan still needs to be sorted out.
In the first three episodes, the plot is compact and the characters appear one after another.
Think about it, the first episode's welcoming banquet mentioned that there would be a celebration banquet later, what else can be said about this? ?
…
It took Wang Yang almost half an hour to finish.
He thought the script was pretty good.
Not quite.
It is very possible.
However, he still asked in disbelief: "Teacher Yu, are you really going to let me direct the script?"
"Of course, if I don't let you direct, why would I ask you for anything?"
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head slightly and said, "You get to choose the actors. I only have one choice. You can't give me any young actors or people without acting skills. Every role in this movie must be played by someone with good acting skills."
Wang Yang hurriedly said, "Teacher Yu, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."
In addition to the script, Wang Yang was also given the character designs of several leading actors.
Li Chengyang: He was once the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team in Green Vine City, but when his master died unexpectedly, he was forced to leave the police force due to false accusations. In the double blow, in order to seek the truth, Li Chengyang infiltrated the underworld for more than 10 years. Over the years, the clear boundaries between black and white in him have long been blurred by reality. After taking off his police uniform, he was retaliated by his former case subjects, and was rescued by Ma Shuai, the leader of the underworld gang.
He Yong: He Yong, leader of the 915 task force, is a smart and clever anti-gang policeman who punishes evil and has a lofty belief and pursuit of fairness and justice in his heart. He is also a classmate of Li Chengyang and they trust each other.
kindness.
In fact, some people deliberately edited some CP images of these two, but I have to say that the relationship between the two is indeed worth supporting.
Except these two.
It’s He Yun.
On Earth, the actor who plays He Yun is Ms. Wu Yue. To be honest, you can take a look at Ms. Wu Yue's acting skills, and then, forget it, I won't praise one and criticize the other.
Let’s continue talking about this character.
This is Sun Xing's mother, who was dragged into hell step by step by Gao Mingyuan.
And the road was the one He Yun chose last.
…
After reading each character Wang Yang understood what to do.
…
