Chapter 41. Script
After leaving the production center that day, Sun Yi stopped caring about it. He felt that this matter was basically a sure thing.
He must seize the time to write the script. This is an opportunity he has earned by himself. He must seize it and finish the script first before the school has decided on it.
Although it is not yet known what the specific theme required by the movie channel is, judging from the previous life of "BJ's Fairy Tale", it should be about patients.
Patient themes are essentially realistic themes, and realistic themes are often cruel. On the surface, they involve diseases, but the core narrative is indeed about life.
The various situations people face when facing life, separation and death, and the different emotions expressed.
Sun Yi started writing scripts around this direction.
At the same time, in the movie channel production center, Director Xu worked hard for more than half a year. After receiving the big gift from Sun Yi, it can be said that the world turned around and he acted vigorously and resolutely.
One hand is "political achievements" and the other hand is "power". Both hands must be grasped and both hands must be strong.
In just two days, the Huaxia Film Channel Production Center sent the "Letter of Intent for Special Theme Film Cooperation and Assistance Plan" to the Beijing Film Academy. After the school leaders signed and agreed, the matter was a done deal.
At the specific implementation meeting, the directors of each department at Beijing Film Academy came one after another like sharks smelling blood.
Suddenly, other units provided money to let Beijing Film Studio produce movies and have them broadcast on movie channels. This was a pie-in-the-sky blessing.
At the meeting, the heads of various departments were almost out of their minds.
These days, there is insufficient funding for education in all aspects, and every department wants to participate as much as possible.
The head of the literature department was the first to speak:
"The most important thing about a movie is the script. So this must first be done by the screenwriters in our literature department."
After hearing this, Tian Zhuang, the director of the directing department, was unhappy and retorted:
"Yes, I admit that the script is very important, but the soul of a movie is given by the director. A good movie must find a good director."
The head of the Chinese Department refused to give in at all and said with a bit of disdain:
"Old Tian, you are already a famous fifth-generation director. Don't you want to direct yourself?"
"Who are you kidding? This movie is of course focused on our students and is mainly for teaching purposes."
......
The two of them went back and forth, fighting from beginning to end.
The teachers from the acting department here did not participate at all. They sat quietly watching the show at Diaoyutai. They knew that no matter what happened in the end, they would still need actors from their acting department to perform.
It is also troublesome to have too many professional talents and it is difficult to divide them.
In the end, the school leaders couldn't stand it anymore, and finally decided that the acting department, which first proposed the plan, would take the lead, with the directing department, the Chinese department and other related professional departments participating, with students as the mainstay, but teachers from all majors should also personally participate,
Be good at it, teach while practicing, and complete the production tasks of the movie channel with high standards and high quality.
This is equivalent to the formal establishment of the project.
Sun Yi didn't know much about the meeting with the school leaders. Apart from attending classes, he was bored in the dormitory, working on the script. It took him two days to finally finish the rough plot of the script.
This morning, Sun Yi was taking a script class. Teacher Huo Xuan suddenly came to the classroom, whispered a few words to the script teacher, and called Sun Yi out.
"What's wrong, Teacher Huo."
"You kid asked questions knowingly, right?"
"Why are you asking questions knowingly? What's wrong?"
Huo Xuan looked at Sun Yi, and the confusion on his face didn't seem to be fake, and he said:
"Don't you know about the movie channel movie? Didn't you make the suggestion a few days ago?"
After hearing this, Sun Yi was startled and blurted out:
"So fast? It's only been two days."
He originally had confidence in Director Xu, but it seemed that he still underestimated him. Unexpectedly, he was able to deal with Deputy Director Liu in just two days. It seemed that Director Xu had already "everything is ready", and he only owed Sun Yi
This "east wind".
Thinking of this, Sun Yi was secretly glad that he had finished the script outline in advance.
"Teacher Huo, can you wait for me?"
Huo Xuan looked puzzled and asked:
"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"
Sun Yi scratched his head and said with some embarrassment:
"Well, I wrote a script myself. I want to go back to the dormitory to get it. Maybe I can use it in a meeting later."
After hearing this, Huo Xuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Sun Yi could write scripts. He raised his hand and looked at his watch and warned:
"Then hurry up, the meeting will start in five minutes, in the small conference room on the third floor. Go quickly."
After hearing this, Sun Yi turned around and ran away.
......
"Dong dong dong", Sun Yi knocked on the door of the small meeting room.
"Come in." A female voice came out.
Entering the conference room, Sun Yi raised his eyes and looked around. There were five people in total, Tian Zhuang, the director of the directing department, Wang Jinsong, the director of the acting department, teacher Cui Xinqin, and a man and a woman he didn't recognize.
He quickly bowed and said, "Hello, teachers."
Seeing Sun Yi, Tian Zhuang smiled first and said:
"Ha, our little hero is here. This is Sun Yi, the proposer and important participant of our cooperative assistance plan with the movie channel. We have all benefited from him."
Hearing this, Sun Yi blushed in a rare blush. He thought he had not communicated much with Director Tian Zhuang, but he didn't expect that he seemed to be very interested in him.
Seeing Sun Yi's embarrassment, Tian Zhuang was even more happy and continued:
"Oh, our little Zhuge still feels embarrassed sometimes. You were not like this when you analyzed it for me and your teacher Cui before, hahaha..."
Cui Xinqin also laughed and said:
"Director Tian, that's it. Today is the home stage of our performance department. Sun Yi, let me introduce to you, this is Wang Jinsong, the director of our performance department, this is Jiang Wei, the director of the literature department, and this is Xue Xiaolu, professor of the literature department.
”
Wang Jinsong was known to Sun Yi. This was not Uncle Dong. His most impressive role was that of a mental patient who wanted to pull out the monkey rubber band from his pants and use it as a slingshot to hit the glass of your house.
Sun Yi greeted each teacher one by one.
It turns out that today is the specific discussion meeting for the establishment of this film project. Sun Yi is considered the initiator of the project. Tian Zhuang and Cui Xinqin discussed it and decided to let him come to observe, maybe he will have some good ideas.
When the meeting began, Sun Yi immediately saw the letter of intent for cooperation from the movie channel.
Sure enough, his guess was correct.
The subject matter requirement of this letter of intent states:
Major diseases are an increasingly common and important social phenomenon and social problem, with a broad audience.
As filmmakers, they must shoulder their social responsibilities, lead the audience to understand the disease, care for patients, and remind the audience to respect life...
We should express warm care through our works, showcase the vulnerable groups stricken by diseases, and call on the public to understand and pay attention to the patients, and to help and support them.
"This is a realistic subject and must be heavy. This type of script is difficult to write and requires time and careful polishing..."
"Where does so much time come from? The movie channel requires that it be completed within this year. There are only three months left to complete the plan. There is still filming and post-production. How long do I have to wait for the script from your literature department?"
The quarrel between Director Tian Zhuang and Director Jiang Wei pulled Sun Yi back from his thoughts.
Chapter completed!
