1716 [Xing Shi and Asking for Guilty]
Wang Jing himself is an excellent screenwriter, so he can naturally understand the wonders of the story of "Home Imperial".
For a good story, the protagonist needs to grow.
For example, in the "Spider-Man" series, after experiencing the tragic death of his uncle, Pete Parker grew from a young man who gained super powers by chance and was therefore complacent to a heroic and righteous Spider-Man who was not afraid of hardships. This is his growth;
In "Iron Man", after experiencing the life and death level, Tony Stark transforms from a young man and an arms dealer to an Iron Man who is upholding justice and loves one person, which is also a kind of growth;
In "Kung Fu", after Ah Xing saw the evil god of Fire Cloud and the Axe Gang, he went from a street gangster who robbed girls to become a master of martial arts, defeated the Axe Gang, defeated the Fire Cloud and saved the villagers of the Zhucang City. This is also a kind of growth.
The growth of the protagonists will make the audience feel satisfied, so the audience will like them.
On the contrary, if the protagonist does not change much before and after the story, it will appear very bland and has no attraction.
For example, in "In the Name of People", Hou Liangping, played by Lu Yi, has always been so glorious, smart, wise, honest and honest, and has no changes in the past and after. Therefore, he lacks appeal to the audience. In comparison, Zhao Dehan, played by Hou Yong, has received praise from the entire network after only one episode of his appearance.
For example, Fang Guohui, a detective of the Bureau of Investigation in "Black Gold", played by Liu Dehua, is smart and brave, rather than bend, and has feelings and righteousness... He can be regarded as a standard decent character. But because he has no ups and downs in the story, he is not as good as the villain Zhou Chao first.
In "The Little Owner", the protagonist Kevin is growing up.
He started out as a naughty guy, naughty, hates his family, and even made a wish to Santa Claus to let his family disappear forever.
But in the process of fighting wits and courage with thieves, he gradually realized the value of family affection, so he sincerely repented his mistakes and hoped that Santa Claus would bring his family back.
This is a kind of growth, and the audience also likes this story of "a prodigal son who returns and doesn't change gold". On the contrary, if Kevin continues to be so naughty, even if he beats away the thieves, it will be just a farce in the eyes of the audience, and he will never be moved by it.
...
Zhang Wan-chan thought the story of "The Pretty Beauty of Wind and Moon" was very vulgar and very cliché.
A world-class rich man actually fell in love with a street girl. This is a plot that only appears in fairy tales. But the more clichéd stories are actually the more popular they are with the audience.
The story of a clean official who made a case is not bad. The story of "Bao Qingtian" has been performed for thousands of years. It is not only performed on the stage, but also in the storytelling that there are countless film and television dramas adapted, but they are also very popular;
The story of a woman dressed in a man is quite common, from "Battle of Liang" to "The Prince Consort", it has continued to costume dramas to modern dramas... It has lasted for nearly two thousand years and is still prosperous;
The more cliché the story, the more the people's tastes. The spring and snow are white and the songs are high, not so many people know how to appreciate them. Romantic comedy is a commercial film. If you want to get a high box office, you have to shoot stories that the people like.
It’s not a vulgarity, as long as the audience likes it, it’s success. In fact, "Fairy Tales of Autumn" is also a clichéd story. Two people who were originally impossible to fall in love finally fell in love after a period of time, after getting along, rubbing, misunderstanding, and suffering.
This kind of plot appears in almost every love novel, and even the plot of giving each other watches and bracelets is imitated from Ou Henry's classic novel "The Gift of Maggie".
This proves that no matter how clichéd the story is, as long as the creator is attentive, it can still move the audience. Zhang Wan-chan now thinks "The Pretty Beauty" is a very vulgar story, but because Xia Tian is written very carefully and portrays the love between the male and female protagonists in detail, it can be regarded as a successful story.
...
Seeing that both of them like their stories very much, Xia Tian also smiled and nodded, "Since you are all satisfied, that's fine. Starting tomorrow, you two will officially join the crew."
"Yes." Wang Jing and Zhang Wan-seong both said in unison, they could not wait.
"As for the pay, it will be set at $500,000 first. After you make a name for yourself, we will increase the pay." Xia Tian said again.
"Five hundred thousand US dollars?" Wang Jing and Zhang Wan-seong were so surprised that they couldn't stop talking.
Wang Jingsuan is the highest paid Hong Kong director. He can not only get a pay but also get dividends. Therefore, he can get up to two million Hong Kong dollars in a play.
Zhang Wan-shi is much worse than him. Including her pay and bonus, she only gets about 800,000 Hong Kong dollars. Despite this, she is already one of the more profitable directors in Hong Kong.
Now in the summer, they are offered a salary of 500,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to several times. How can they be unhappy? Unexpectedly, this time when they came to the United States, they were both fame and fortune, so how can they be unhappy!
"Mr. Xia, I am already very grateful for your ability to come to Hollywood. I don't think it takes that much for the pay. I think it's enough for 200,000 US dollars." Wang Jing said modestly.
"You don't have to be polite, you just accept it." Xia Tian waved his hand, "Actually, 500,000 US dollars is not much. Directors who are slightly better in the United States will have millions of dollars. I think you may get millions of dollars when you become famous with these two movies."
Wang Jing, Zhang Wanqi couldn't help but be very excited when she heard this.
Wang Jing has always made money the main task. When she learned that she had the opportunity to earn a free $10,000, she was excited and excited. Although Zhang Wan-seong is not as greedy as Wang Jing, being able to make money is of course a good thing. And the key is to become famous in Hollywood, this is her lifelong dream!
"Okay, take a break. Let's barbecue in the garden tonight." Xia Tian smiled.
...
Hollywood, in the hotel.
Sophie Marceau is carefully studying the script and pondering the psychological activities of the heroine in the play.
She was very attentive and almost focused because she didn't want to be criticized in public by Xia Tian anymore because it was really embarrassing. There were so many actors in the audience, and he didn't criticize her alone, which really made her feel very unfair.
"Why did he treat me like this? Am I really wrong?" she said unwillingly.
She has been studying the script of "Raw Eat" for three months and can remember every line. She doesn't believe that her guess is wrong, so she suspects that Xia Tian deliberately targets her.
"Adolescent boys will deliberately mess with girls in order to attract the attention of girls. Could it be that he is just making this idea?" She couldn't help thinking, "Oh, is it okay to be more mature. I already have a lover, and he loves me very much. He just wants to chase me with this trick, which is too immature."
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard the phone ringing.
When she answered it, she saw that it was Zulasky's call. She complained as soon as she opened her mouth, "What are you doing? Why did you ring so long before answering the phone?"
"I'm sorry, I was thinking about things just now, I heard the ringtone just now." Sophie Marceau apologized, and then asked with a smile, "Hani, why do you remember to call me?"
"I'll ask you, are you having a very unpleasant relationship with Mr. Xia recently?" Zulasky asked aggressively.
