Because Shi Nansheng is tired of being with everyone every day, he still doesn't feel that, after Tsui Ke's question, he really saw some clues, like him, the ***hu vision is very vicious, what kind of person has the ability? At a glance, I didn't realize that I was a little surprised, I couldn't help but lowered my head and began to recall what they did recently to make Yang Xiuya have this obvious change.
How much time is this!
"Am I different?" The legendary director of Tsui Hark, who has portrayed Wang Zuxian and Brigitte Lin's level of beauty, praised Yang Xiuya's heart with joy, her mouth raised unconsciously, and she was usually praised for her beauty. She was so complimented that she didn't feel it anymore. Today's response from Old Monster Xu, who has always been a little cold, almost made her return to the time when she was a little girl, and her pretty face flushed with joy.
Tsui Hark also scanned the other people curiously. Han Ting didn’t feel impressed, but Lu Zibo seemed to have matured a bit. He was obviously more aura than before. It didn’t look like he hadn’t seen him in a month, but like three. I haven't seen it in years, I have this kind of reborn feeling.
Surprised and delighted, he turned his head and glanced at the calm Yang Can unconsciously, wondering in his heart, could it be the credit of his stage play? Raised the actor to a higher level in such a short time? This kind of thing seems very unrealistic from experience, but the facts are before us.
Just when the crew was very excited due to the arrival of the great director Tsui Hark, two white men in suits, about fifty years old, came in silently and sat in the corner. They looked very inconspicuous, but unlike ordinary people. The audience is somewhat different in that the four eyes of the two whites, one tall and one short, did not turn, carefully looking at no one on the stage, or even every piece of equipment on the stage.
Baghddin noticed them when they came in, and his eyebrows trembled slightly. He recognized the tall, big-nosed white man at a glance. He was the former deputy director of the American Performing Arts Association and the best in Los Angeles. The famous film critic Robert McDonald.
This is definitely a person who makes Baghding’s scalp numb. Their crew performed here, although most people’s comments are "somewhat unintelligible", but these professionals and white-collar workers in Los Angeles are still tolerant of emerging culture. Quite large, and there is no harsh criticism.
Robert McDonald’s immortal is a role that all the crew avoids. Not only is his pen sharp, but he can always point out the key points. It is extremely demanding. In his ten film and television drama reviews, he can One or two positive reviews are quite good. Why is this thorny
As the crew began to clean up the stage preparations and the audience slowly entered the seats, the short critic gave Robert McGdonald a paper cup of coffee and asked him with a grin.
"Robert, how is it? Is there any difference after rehearsal and what you imagined?"
Robert’s gloomy face couldn’t see any expression, he just took the coffee faintly and suffocated his mouth: "How do you say? This Chinese-produced drama, I’m better than I expected, at least the fineness of the props is a movie. Level." Robert didn't see any actors that interested him, but was impressed with the gorgeous costumes and exquisite weapon props of the crew.
"Allen, I don't understand, why would you invite me to watch this kind of play?" Robert took a sip of coffee and asked back. I like to watch the grand stage performances of Broadway.
Robert flipped through the story content of the "Fengshen Bang" in the color-printed propaganda album, and he was a bit confused. He had no actual impression of Chinese mythology at all.
Allen smiled meaningfully: "Actually, I also came here by chance one day. You also know that I would like to find something new on the weekend to stimulate my nerves." Looking at Robert's doubtful expression, he quickly waved his hand:
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't say that this play is great, except for a few actors and scripts, it's still pretty rough now."
"Then you still let me come?" Robert leaned back rather dissatisfied.
"I asked you to come because you understand movies. I heard that this stage play is to prepare for a movie of the same name, so the crew is constantly revising the script... They change every time they perform, and the revisions include the lines and the passages to be reasonable" Sex"."
Well, a good idea, but it's a bit whimsical, and different audiences have different reactions. How can the script of the movie be changed completely according to the stages of the stage play? Robert thought to himself.
Of course Allen knew what his friend was thinking, and he took out a notebook and spread it out to him: "I thought it was a little inexplicable at first, but Robert, look at this."
Robert took the notebook nonchalantly and looked at the densely packed records on it, some lines about some characters in "Feng Shen Bang", some of the plot is a little strange, like their older generation critics, watch any When I work, I have developed the habit of taking this notebook with me to record some wonderful or wrong places.
If there are media or other people who want to write their own comments, just take out the notebook and reassemble the text.
"Have you read it fifteen times?" Robert looked at the recorded date and turned his head in surprise.
"Yes, sixteen times." Allen took a deep breath and corrected it.
"Oh my God? Are you crazy?" Robert "touched" his forehead and laughed: "Alan... tell me, did you see any chick here, right? You know your wife Molly Also my friend, don’t be embarrassed.. Let me pick up girls for you."
Except for this reason, Robert really couldn't think of why his college student would watch the same stage play so many times.
Allen didn't smile, but looked at him weirdly: "Robert, didn't I look at my record carefully? Didn't it feel strange?"
"Oh." Robert re-turned and said: "The first time the record is the most, and the following is less and less. It seems that you are spending more and more time to see the chick."
While talking, recalling seeing those actresses just now, he suddenly slapped her thighs: "I see, it's the little blonde girl. She is your favorite type, and her breasts are really "fascinating"."
Alan shook his head and stretched out his hand, and pointed to the notebook gravely:
"You see, every time I come, I record all the things that I feel are bad, even if they are repeated, I also record them, but every time I come, I find that 70% of the shortcomings I found before have been corrected. Every time..." Allen repeated the word with accent.
Dingqing took a look, and Robert opened his mouth slightly. The record of fifteen times, a total of 513 revisions, there are 398 items in it that have all disappeared. Could this be a coincidence
"Don’t look at me, I’m not joking at all. When I first discovered this, I felt like I had encountered a ghost, and their script adaptation not only changed what I felt was wrong, but also corrected many other places. I think some of the lines are very creative." Allen wanted to make Robert as clear as possible that he did not come to him to make a joke.
At this time, the lights in the theater went out, leaving only a few spotlights on the stage to set off, and the stage play officially began.
While Robert was staring at the strange names of screenwriter Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng, and Mai Weijian, while still pondering the meaning of Allen’s words, Allen approached him and said: "You better be careful. Pay attention to that Chinese..." Pointing to the front row
"Chinese...?" The critic, who is known for his acrimoniousness, looked sideways and followed Allen's fingers. He saw the Asian man in the first row just now. He was holding it when he couldn't see his face. One pen and one notebook, his eyes wandering around.
Robert's first reaction was that he was definitely his peer, but after careful observation, he found that it was wrong. Other people's attention was focused on the reaction on the stage, and this guy was watching the stage while observing the people in the audience. It seems to have been recording something, quickly writing in the notebook.
Is it a screenwriter or producer of a stage play
Robert saw it suddenly seemed to have found something, he couldn't help but laughed, shook his head gently and exclaimed to Alan:
"Oh my god, this is so interesting. Isn't this Chinese trying to adapt the script based on the audience's reaction? There are hundreds of audiences here. At least 20 people should sample this kind of thing together, right? Inviting such a tender hired worker to take charge, the production crew will save money too much."
This is really crazy. Although market research is special, it is not unusual in a place where all kinds of thoughts come together in Los Angeles, but one person has to observe hundreds of people at the same time in such a dark light. Isn’t this a bit of a playful response
Which company’s boss would whimsically think that this is just a job that can be done by one person
Allen nodded: "Yes, you guessed it right. He is changing the script based on the audience's reaction, but he is not a cheap worker to hire. This China named Yang Can is the producer of this crew, and it is Owen. Honorary principal of the college."
"You're not kidding?" Robert's first reaction thought Allen was teasing him, but the seriousness on Allen's face didn't have a trace of abuse.
Robert, after all, is a professional, and he immediately began to focus on Yang Can and observe carefully. After about ten minutes of observation, the more he observes, the more surprised he is. This Chinese is almost like a high-speed machine. He didn't mean to stop from beginning to end, he kept recording, especially when several important roles were speaking lines, he recorded a lot.
Allen started to explain what he understood: "I have been very curious about him for a few days and investigated it. This Yang Can is the Chinese producer who shot that zombie before. During the period of observation, I found that although this There are 4 screenwriters in the name of the stage play, but he is the one who is really dominant. Many times the script he adapted at all has been used as the official manuscript of the next performance without any discussion...
And on a few occasions, the process of his changes was only during the performance, and the break time was entirely for the actors to memorize the changed lines and plot. "
As Robert listened, he slowly turned into anger from his disbelief at the beginning. Yang Can's absurd behavior made him feel completely insulted after spending decades in this line, and he made up his mind to go back and write a good article. The manuscript scolded the stage play.
Unconsciously, he began to fiercely pick up the shortcomings of the stage play, and muttered to himself: "This ridiculous guy is not studying a computer program in the performance? How can it be changed like this! Even the art is regarded as a construction worker. Do you want to make a movie script by putting together bricks by bricks?"
Allen didn’t say anything. This is what he didn’t understand. Observing the audience’s reaction, adapting the script can only know two things. First, where is good, and second, where needs improvement, as for how well, the part that needs improvement. How to strengthen it is impossible to judge from the scene.
When the two were discussing, Yang Can, who was sitting in the front row suddenly turned his head, staring in the direction of Robert and Allen with sharp eyes like eagles. Both felt that those eyes were facing each other at the same time. His face seemed to be looking, and the vague expression on Yang Can's face clearly seemed to have heard the two talking.
Robert knew that in such a dark auditorium, it was very difficult for him to see Alan’s face clearly. Let alone such a distance, the other party could not even tell whether he was a male or a female, but he still felt that There was a sudden cold air on the spine, and it only felt as if someone had taken off his clothes and stared at him naked and naked.
Sitting in the first row, Yang Can looked at the two consciousness energies in the corner of the tenth row and couldn't help but smile. This Ellen, who had the highest energy of 512, brought another 554 energy Robert. He was really lucky.
Unexpectedly, a small stage play attracted fifteen well-known critics before and after. It was a surprise that Robert McGdonald’s presence in person like a hallowed character in person, this senior critic’s mind is still There are really a lot of opinions to dig.
In Yang Can’s view, every stage play is a vivid and creative planning meeting. Hundreds of objective people helped him make suggestions, including ordinary audiences, professional critics, and other peers. Looking at the crowd, it can be said that there is probably no media company in the United States that has such a wealth of objective resources.
Even if other companies pay a lot of money to invite more people, at most they will ask the audience to fill out a survey form, and when others are in a good mood, they write two false flattery words like "epic masterpiece, magnificent scenes, delicate emotions" and other meaningless words. When I was in a bad mood, I just cursed a few words: "What tattered thing, the script written by my grandmother in a wheelchair is better than this~" "Shit, the actor is too artificial."
But I can really see hundreds of real "voices" of consciousness energy. Every time I collect information, it feels like doing a high-speed visual test of the old K. I need to analyze a variety of different information in an instant. The integration was really tiring at first, but after doing it a few times, Yang Can grasped the pattern, and was able to quickly determine which of the consciousness energies were more professional.
People with professional market judgments have a characteristic. The energy when they are seated is different from the energy after watching the show. For example, Allen of 512 can only measure 356 and exert his consciousness energy when watching a show. .
This can prove that he himself is a professional who is engaged in this. Therefore, Yang Can only uses a few minutes at the beginning to calculate who has a higher energy boost, and just grabs a few key people.
Then write down the information according to their minds. Of course, they will not follow their opinions 100%. If those people at the same time think which parts of the passages and lines are not good, Yang Can will make changes, and they can also learn from them. From time to time, some inspiration pops out of his head.
This whole process is how Yang Can created the script during this period of time, brainstorming, plus his own unique way of judging energy, the only one in the United States.
It's no wonder that Shi Nansheng, who had always opposed his "chaotic" changes to Tsui Hark's script before, saw the results of Yang Can's changes several times, and finally had nothing to say.
Shi Nansheng didn't know at all. Yang Can's changes to the script were equivalent to thousands of people superimposing and analyzing the essence of creativity, which he could compare to.
***
When I went back that night, Robert McDonald had already made up his mind to fix this ignorant Chinese who treats art as cement, and prepared a big article about "Feng Shen Bang" is a big bad stage play. Even if it is changed to a movie, it is definitely a joke comment.
But Allen called in the evening, and Qian Dingling urged that no matter what he had about the "Feng Shen Bang" comment, he must read it again and say it again. Robert McGdonald finished the fire, but he was eventually killed by himself. Persuaded by his old friend, he reluctantly came to the theater again the next day.
But after watching this time, Robert McDonald was stunned, completely in a kind of shock, walked out the door swayingly, and eagerly called Allen, and said loudly:
"My God, Alan~! You can't believe what happened!? It's just too hard to be confident~!"
"Don't worry, let me guess? Did you think that the "ridiculous passages and "messy" lines" have been changed to the best look in your mind? Even better than you think. ?"
Robert McDonald was stunned for half a minute at the entrance of the crowded theater before he opened his mouth wide and said, "Alan...how do you know..."
Allen smiled bitterly on the other end of the phone:
"You seem to have forgotten the notebooks I showed you. Why do you think I watched this damn stage play 18 times~!? I just want to submit a qualified review of the Gods list to the "Drama Review", "Theatrical Review" 》Already drive me crazy...
Well, this time, it seems that either we are both crazy, or the Chinese named Yang Can is the incarnation of God. "
