In the face of Xie Zhaoyan's persuasion, Chu Xiaxing couldn't refuse the idea of a friend. In fact, she knew that her own experience was unique, and there were many screenwriters who were interested in her last life, but they couldn't overcome the most difficult one.
Chu Xiaxing: "Then let me say something first, the script is suitable, and I don't participate in the script."
Xie Zhaoyan said unexpectedly: "It's all empty, you don't participate?"
Chu Xiaxing squinted at her and said lightly, "I guess you have a false name and background. Anyone with a discerning eye will definitely know who it is..."
"If I were in charge from the script to the shooting, then the final film would be very subjective." Chu Xiaxing said helplessly, "People can't evaluate themselves objectively, that's why I said that the script should be controlled by others."
Chu Xiaxing's previous projects could be managed from beginning to end, but if the subject matter revolved around her, she would not dare to rashly care about it, for fear of falling into emotions. The script is the foundation of the film, and the story will have her life's ups and downs, and it is really inappropriate for her to describe it by herself.
Xie Zhaoyan nodded: "Okay, as long as I can come up with the script, you are willing to shoot?"
Chu Xiaxing: "Yes, of course, you need a suitable script, the versions of the stories you have come up with before will not work."
Xie Zhaoyan had asked the screenwriter to write several versions of the script before, but Chu Xiaxing felt that it was nonsense after reading it. Either she touted herself too high, or added a lot of distorted plots. These kinds of stories involve more or less real events, and few of them can be presented from a suitable angle.
Chu Xiaxing also meant to let Xie Zhaoyan retreat in spite of the difficulties. After all, it was difficult to come up with a good script right away, at least it was not easy to find a screenwriter.
Surprisingly, Xie Zhaoyan seems to have made up her mind to do this this time. She really came up with a new script two weeks later, and it was written in a decent manner, completely different from the previous versions.
In the Fanke Film Industry, Chu Xiaxing also handed over the script to the producers for review, and asked Song Wenye and others to comment on Xie Zhaoyan's project.
In the construction plan of Yanchuan Film and Television City, there are "ten planning" and "hundred planning". In the next few years, the city will sign contracts with hundreds of film crews to put the filming locations into use and generate returns.
Chu Xiaxing's efforts must be mainly devoted to the "ten planning". Only when the key projects are well-known, the film and television city will enter the public's attention, and at the same time, it can attract professionals to station. She handed over the script to everyone, just to hear their opinions and think whether the play can enter the "ten-part plan".
Song Wenye was stunned for a moment after reading the script, and he said thoughtfully: "Although it is a fictional character, it feels more like a prototype, a bit like director Chu Xiaxing..."
Song Wenye felt that this script was indeed worth doing, but in some ways it reminded people of famous directors who had passed away.
Duan Chengyan didn't know much about the history of movies, so he assumed the people around him and looked at Chu Xiaxing with dazed eyes: "Is there anyone else who wrote the script for you? Are you that famous now?"
Duan Chengyan mistakenly thought that someone wrote the script for the young director Chu, of course his ideas were okay to some extent.
Xia Hong: "It's not this Director Chu, it's another Director Chu, you are a professional, let's get to know it..."
Xia Hong's attitude towards Duan Chengyan has become more and more arrogant recently. He originally thought that the eldest young master would just go for fun and not stay in the project for too long. He didn't expect that the other party suddenly awakened to his dream of being a producer and wanted to stay and continue to learn.
Xia Hong thought about it carefully, this does not mean that Duan Chengyan is willing to stay as a younger brother, then as a younger brother's senior, he has a lot more qualifications than the other party, and he naturally gives advice with confidence.
Duan Chengyan said angrily, "Then tell me which Director Chu is? What works?"
Xia Hong was suddenly asked a question, and he hesitated for a while, then hesitantly said, "That's it... the director of Chu... the one who filmed "Man Ran"?"
Xia Hong's mind was also short-circuited in an instant, and he accurately gave a wrong answer.
Chu Xiaxing: "?" Why do you still "Xu Guanchudai"
Chu Xiaxing said with a blank expression: "Wait, who told you that I filmed... No, who told you that Chu Xiaxing filmed "Man Ran", Xia Hong, let's chat in the next corner."
Chu Xiaxing: You actually confuse me and my opponent's works. If the director has a fandom, you will be torn apart!
Faced with the sanctions, Xia Hong hurriedly said: "Director Chu, your mouth is sloppy, your mouth is sloppy!"
Song Wenye smiled and said, "But the two Director Chu do have similarities. Teacher Wang also said that Director Chu has been to Yanchuan before, so it's a fate..."
Halfway through Song Wenye's words, he suddenly tasted something strange and stared blankly at Chu Xiaxing, always feeling that something vaguely matched. Chu Xiaxin's father used to go to Yanchuan to deliver goods, but Chu Xiaxin himself did not seem to have been to Yanchuan, but Director Chu said that he had a general impression of Yanchuan.
Song Wenye ignored some details in the past, but he has just finished reading the script, and he has a strong sense of sight, so he put away the following.
Duan Chengyan noticed Song Wenye's distraction, he waved his hand in front of him impatiently, and gloated: "Are you watching from the side?"
Xia Hong was receiving education from Chu Dao Fengfeng in the corner, Song Wenye then retracted his thoughts, ended his unreasonable associations, and said calmly, "I hope everyone is fine."
Duan Chengyan: "?"
Since everyone thinks the movie script is decent, the next step is to discuss "The Star of Dawn" with Xie Zhaoyan in detail and include it in the "Ten Plans". When Chu Xiaxing was rewriting the script, she only felt that the way the movie was named was familiar. When she met the screenwriter face to face, she realized who this style came from!
Xie Zhaoyan was entertaining Chu Xiaxing and others at home. After returning to China, she finally cleaned up the room and introduced the screenwriter to the two.
Song Wenye had a relationship with Director Xu, and he said in surprise, "I didn't expect that you wrote the script."
Chu Xiaxing and Song Wenye were equally surprised to learn the truth, the former was surprised by "what a hell", the latter was surprised by "what a coincidence".
Xu Xiancheng smiled and said: "Indeed, I couldn't promise President Song at the beginning, but now I go around in circles and become a movie screenwriter instead."
"Actually, I didn't want to touch these things at first. Whether it's about the film and television city or the biographical film, I felt that I couldn't do it, and I politely declined Lao Xie at the beginning..." Xu Xiancheng took a sharp breath and explained, "So She also went to the show herself to find the director."
Chu Xiaxing couldn't help but complain: "Then why do you think it's okay now?"
Chu Xiaxing: My biographical script was actually executed by the opposite family, which is really disturbing.
Xu Xiancheng smiled and said: "Thanks to the young director Chu in our house. I watched "The Thunder Spear" some time ago, but my mind became clearer, and I can understand some things..."
Chu Xiaxing: "?"
Xu Xiancheng: "In recent years, I have always been in a daze, maybe I am facing a bottleneck period, and I am not satisfied with the things I have shot for a long time... I was a little arrogant when I was young, don't look at me and Director Chu's personalities are completely different, she is actually a A person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, on the contrary, respects the opinions of his peers, but I am different."
"I didn't understand the reason for her delay at that time. I felt that she didn't need to seek some people's understanding for her talent. Now that I think about it, I'm a little kid. She may be similar to the protagonist in "Thunder Gun Saint". I should belong to Lao Xie. that role."
The Spear Saint has the ability but regards himself as a mortal, and the Ice Emperor has the ability but thinks he can overlook all beings. These are two different attitudes.
Xu Xiancheng was talented when he debuted, and he has never experienced the pain of mortals. If others can't shoot good things, he will also feel that the other party is not capable, and always think that his own ideas are better. However, in recent years, he has obviously found that his inspiration has declined, and only then did he taste the struggles and hardships of ordinary people and understand many other things.
Chu Xiaxing once laughed at him as "God's rewarding food", Xu Xiancheng would be a little dissatisfied at that time, but now he understands that there are limits to being a human being. He used to rely on his innate talent and felt that he had no boundaries, but it was only at this age that he realized it.
Song Wenye responded clearly: "You really think highly of that Director Chu."
Xu Xiancheng smiled helplessly and said, "I sometimes wonder if I have lost my reference, which makes my goals no longer clear. After all, we have been compared for so many years..."
Song Wenye politely communicated with Director Xu, but Chu Xiaxing's brows jumped when she heard it, she secretly asked in private, "Are you sure it is appropriate for Director Xu to write
Xie Zhaoyan: "Why isn't it suitable? I can still press him for screenwriting fees. Screenwriters of the same level are actually quite expensive."
Chu Xiaxing: "?" So this is the real relationship between husband and wife
Chu Xiaxing and Xu Xiancheng have filmed a lot of works, they can actually change the script, especially Xu Xiancheng's writing skills are excellent, and he also changed Wang Toyota's script back then, and his level is not inferior to that of the big screenwriter. He didn't want to shoot because he felt that he couldn't make it, but writing the script was actually no problem.
Of course, although Xu Xiancheng's screenwriting level is quite guaranteed, he still lacks in handling the details of the characters, including his psychological speculations on the director of Chu. This is also the same problem faced by screenwriters in the past. They often couldn't see through the characters' motives behind them, and couldn't interpret Chu Xiaxing.
"I think this version is okay, but it's still a little weird..." Xie Zhaoyan looked at Chu Xiaxing, and hinted, "What do you think, Little Director Chu? Don't be afraid to give advice to Old Xu."
Xu Xiancheng: "Yes, yes, yes, after all, I am the screenwriter now, and I still have to listen to the director's opinion."
Chu Xiaxing bit the bullet and said, "I always feel that the characters in the stories are not human-like enough."
Xie Zhaoyan wondered, "We want to make Director Chu look like a human?"
Chu Xiaxing: "?" Why does it sound like a curse
Xu Xiancheng's script does have real events and good transitions, but the female director in the script is really unfamiliar and seems to have no weaknesses. However, it was precisely because there were many real incidents that it was difficult for Chu Xiaxing to give her opinions. Those were all things she had experienced, and it was difficult for her to accurately explain herself.
Chu Xiaxing didn't know how to organize the words, but Song Wenye was the first to speak: "It should be said that it is too perfect, but it does not look like a real person?"
Character characterization in biopic films is very important. If there is only greatness and no weakness, it will also make people feel hypocritical and tasteless.
"This is looking for the other side of that Director Chu." Xu Xiancheng said with a wry smile, "Then I'm really not good at writing, she is like a model worker, I'm simply ashamed."
Song Wenye: "Director Xu thinks that Director Chu is a model worker?"
Xu Xiancheng: "Compared to me, it must be, I sometimes admire her perseverance, and she can shoot so many scenes..."
Song Wenye pondered for a few seconds, and said frankly: "Actually, I don't think so, or I had to be a model worker when she was in her twenties or thirties. After all, she didn't shoot as much during her peak period."
Chu Xiaxing's output was extremely high when she was young, but it declined slightly during her peak period. Some people said that she changed from quantity to quality, and various external evaluations were different.
Xu Xiancheng hesitated: "Have to be a model worker?"
Song Wenye tentatively said: "Director Xu, I take the liberty to express some opinions, although you and Director Chu are always compared, but you are actually a lot less troubled than her, my statement may be a little disrespectful, you can choose to start a family later. , but at that time, the time for Director Chu was very limited..."
"Even if she doesn't care about many things, outsiders will define her with traditional thinking, and you may be a little lacking in this aspect of thinking."
When Chu Xiaxing heard this, her mood was rather subtle. She didn't expect that Xu Xiancheng didn't understand the reason for her high productivity, and that laymen would guess it vaguely.
