Shen Juanyi spent an hour reading the script of "Want to Remember", then raised her head and said to Bi Zhou, who was gradually feeling bad, "I want to shoot this."
Bi Zhou showed a terrified expression.
Although his own artists are usually carefree and careless in their daily lives, they are always serious and assertive in their work. Now that he says he wants to shoot this, he is 100% sure in his heart.
Bi Zhou now just wants to drag out the staff who sorted out the script and beat them up.
Although he knew that there was almost no room for change in what he had decided, Bi Zhou still wanted to struggle, and stuffed the other four notebooks into his arms like begging his ancestors: "Don't make a decision so quickly, you haven't read these yet. What! What if there is something you like more!"
Shen Juanyi thought about it, and it was the same reason, so he didn't refuse, and picked up the other four books to read again.
Then after reading it, he picked up the book "Want to Remember" and shook Bi Zhou: "I'm sure, that's all."
Bi Zhou: "..."
Could it be that those four scripts that he had carefully selected could not compare to this fish that slipped through the net somehow? It's not because the little director is his fan that he brings his own filter, right
Bi Zhou took the script with a serious face.
"Want to Remember" tells an incomplete love story.
The naughty boy who grew up in the countryside met a girl who came here because of her parents' work. The girl was different from everyone he knew, she was soft and beautiful, quiet and well-behaved, like a little daisy blooming in the wind in the field, and the dimples were full of sunshine.
His happiest thing every day is to climb up the tree, climb over the wall, avoid the women who are drying clothes in the yard, and put the most beautiful flowers he picked from the steepest cliff on the girl's window sill.
Then the boy was like a wild cat, hiding on the lush jujube tree outside the wall, seeing the girl in the white dress open the window, curiously and happily picked up the bouquet of flowers, smelled it on the tip of his nose, and smiled obediently and softly.
Then he would be in a good mood all day long, and he would slip down from the tree whistling, and not feel bad about losing a fight with the King of Kids in the next village.
Later, the girl moved away with her parents, and the boy chased after the car for a long time.
The car stopped on the muddy road between the wheat fields. The girl rolled down the window and looked at the boy with red eyes.
Panting, but grinning, he took off the bouquet pinned to his trousers and handed it to her. The morning dew still remained on the petals, the boy waved to her and said, don't forget me and here.
He thought, he's always going to find him.
When he grows up and has money, he will buy her the most beautiful dress in the world and give her the most beautiful flowers.
But see you again after a few years, but the girl completely forgot about him. Forget the field they ran hand in hand, forget the flowers that always bloom on her window sill.
She was sick, with a disease that every once in a while would cause her to lose all her memories of the past.
The unexpected death of her parents left her with an incurable stress trauma. Every once in a while, she has to face a completely strange world. Every time, she has to re-recognize everything and experience the endless fear of the unknown over and over again.
The once quiet and well-behaved girl has become sensitive and timid. She doesn't remember who he is or who she is.
The boy stayed with her.
Every time she forgets, the boy makes her fall in love with him again.
He made her gloomy and desperate life bloom again with beautiful flowers. Every morning when she woke up, she could see the dewy bouquet by the bedside just by tilting her head.
Until the boy found out that he had an unresectable brain tumor in his brain. He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of losing his girl and falling into darkness again.
But there was nothing he could do.
Life and death are never up to people.
He didn't tell the girl that he was about to die, he spent the rest of his life arranging everything for her in the future. Even without herself, she can live without worrying about food and clothing.
He thought that after he died, it would not be long before the girl would lose her memory again.
At that time, she will forget the grief of losing him and start a new life.
She is so soft and beautiful, and in the long life to come, she will definitely meet someone who is willing to take care of her. She will live well and live without pain.
Forget him, just like forgetting the cold winter that just passed.
The boy died just like that, when the flowers bloomed in the warmth of spring. At that time, the flowers on the cliff were in full bloom. At this time in previous years, he would always climb up the cliff and pick the most beautiful one for her.
Little did he know, the girl hadn't forgotten him.
After his death, the girl remembered everything that had happened.
Every time they met, every time the young man tried his best to make her fall in love with him. He always grinned, like the hottest summer sun, dispelling the cold winter in her life.
She remembered everything about them, and even remembered the faint figure on the big tree outside the wall when she was young.
In fact, she knew at that time that there was someone hiding there.
She used to try so hard to remember him, but now she finally remembered him.
But he was lost forever.
...
A fresh and romantic love story, a heart-pounding youth encounter, without thrilling twists and turns, like the most pleasant wind in the field blowing through the clouds, blowing away the warm sunshine in spring, blowing up the dandelions flying in the sky, but A stroke of sadness is drawn at the end, which makes people unable to calm down their regrets for a long time just after reading the text.
Compared with the few family-friendly commercial films that Bi Zhou selected, this film is obviously aimed at literary films.
If it’s done well, it’s a classic, but if it’s not done well, it’s a love movie that makes no sense.
Moreover, literary and artistic films do not have an advantage in the current domestic film market. Everyone is more willing to watch popcorn movies that are laughing and joking, let alone this movie is a tragedy.
The box office of literary and artistic films has never been very good, and with a tragic ending, it may be even worse.
Bi Zhou was silent for a while: "...the book is really good."
Shen Juanyi raised his eyebrows at him: "Fan Sui Aidou, I am a big fan."
Bi Zhou: "...don't worry about getting complacent." He looked serious: "The market for literary and artistic films is not easy to hit. Now the management is only looking at the box office. Apart from your fans, there are not many audiences willing to buy this kind of tragic literary and artistic films. .”
Shen Junyi smiled: "That's not necessarily the case."
Bi Zhou said: "Okay, taking a step back, this book can indeed be made into a well-received movie, but the premise is that there is an experienced director. Right? She is a fresh graduate and it is her first time directing a film, do you think she can produce high-standard works?"
Experience and age are indeed one of the criteria for judging ability in every industry. This new director named Yue Li seems unreliable in every aspect.
With experience like her, it would be appropriate to find some new actors who have just graduated like her, but as soon as the book comes up, it is handed directly to the top streamers, which inevitably makes people feel unrealistic.
Shen Juanyi crossed Erlang's legs and leaned on the sofa, and picked up the resume: "I don't dare to hand over the book to me if you don't have a few catties. How do you know that he is not a talented player before filming? Anyway, I like this script very much." Yes, it is also suitable for transformation."
Bi Zhou was silent for a while, and said seriously: "If you really want to make this, it's fine. After all, literary films have the potential to win awards. But it's not her filming. We asked her to buy the script and hand it over to the director."
Shen Juan looked at him with raised eyebrows, and snorted.
He took out his mobile phone and dialed the number on his resume.
Looking at his expression, Bi Zhou knew that his suggestion was useless, so he closed his mouth helplessly.
After the beep, the phone was connected, and a crisp voice came from the other end: "Hello, who are you looking for?"
Shen Junyi smiled: "I'm looking for Yueli."
There was a scream on the other end of the phone.
After screaming, he probably covered his mouth again immediately, but he heard the agitated shortness of breath, and it took a long time before the trembling voice came out again: "Is...is it Brother Juanyi?"
Shen Juan raised his eyebrows: "Can you hear this?"
The other side was so excited that he almost fainted: "Brother, I have loved you for many years, I can recognize you even if you turn into ashes!"
Shen Juan said: "?"
The little fan who received the call from Aidou for the first time didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the words. He suppressed his excitement and regained his senses: "Hi brother, my name is Yue Li. Are you looking for me because of the script?"
Shen Juanyi said: "Yes, I saw your script, and I want to chat with you face to face, is it convenient?"
Yue Li: "Convenient, convenient, convenient! I have time anytime! When and where do you think I need to bring something to see you?"
Shen Juanyi shook his head and smiled: "You don't need to bring anything, you can come directly to the company tomorrow morning. Do you know where the company is?"
Yue Li: "I know, I know, I checked in! I still have a photo with your poster!"
Shen Juan said: "..."
So early the next morning, Shen Juanyi met a talented little fan at the company.
She is a short girl with a bit of baby fat on her face, round eyes and a pair of small dimples, so cute.
No one can associate such an innocent and lovely girl with the word director. Bi Zhou had some expectations before, but now he can only describe it as despair.
Shen Juanyi was very happy, and even praised him: "You look quite cute."
Yue Li blushed when she was praised by idols, she secretly pinched her thigh so she didn't lose her composure, took a deep breath for a while, and then showed a business-like and professional attitude: "Mr. Shen, you asked me to talk about the script because you are interested in my script ?"
Shen Juanyi was very frank: "Yes, I like your script very much, and I plan to take over the role."
Yue Li's eyes lit up.
The two chatted for a long time about the script and Yue Li personally. Although he said yesterday that she didn't need to bring anything, Yue Li still brought a USB flash drive, which was filled with all her works.
What Shen Juanyi said before was correct, this is indeed a talented player.
She majored in editing and directing in college, and her first work at school won the Silver Award for National College Student Film Works. The International Short Video Newcomer Award is not a pheasant award, but an award with high gold content in the world.
Her mastery of shooting skills and techniques is no worse than that of any mature director. It was because of this short video newcomer award that she was fortunate enough to participate in Director Zhang's film and become the executive director.
Although this is her first serious filming, she has undergone three years of repeated revisions and deliberations from the script to the shooting.
Yue Li said: "I didn't think about the box office. I just want to tell this story well and tell it completely so that everyone will believe in love after reading it, cherish it, and firmly believe in its beauty and eternity. This is what I want to convey .”
Shen Junyi smiled and asked, "How did you come up with this story?"
Yue Li also laughed, with a round dimple: "It was my best friend who gave me the inspiration. She had experienced some bad things before, and she also struggled in the dark for a long time, and then she met the boy who belonged to her. The process of their falling in love is the process of healing each other, I think it is very beautiful and touching, and I really want to express it in the form of a movie."
Shen Juan nodded thoughtfully.
Before meeting Yueli, he had actually decided to make this movie, and now after meeting and chatting, he was even more sure that this was not a decision he would regret.
When Shen Juanyi asked Bi Zhou to come in to discuss the contract with her, Yue Li was astonished by a surprise from the sky.
Is it that easy? ?
Is she the chosen favorite? ?
She must have saved mankind in her previous life!
Unexpectedly, the more pleasant surprise was yet to come. Shen Junyi smiled and asked her: "Is there anyone for the heroine? What do you think of Zhao Yu?"
Yue Li: "!!!"
confirmed! She is the child of the plane!
