Chapter 26 Reversal
As a less successful director in the industry, the actor is somewhat famous for his works that were shot quickly, cheaply, and of acceptable quality. His abilities are acceptable, but he is far from outstanding.
On this day, the actor received a new job invitation to shoot a live short film program for a TV station.
The filming process of the entire short film was shot to the end, with no NG or recording, and it was directly broadcast to the audience in a live broadcast.
As a director, the actor is naturally well aware of the difficulties and troubles of this model. He also knows that he may not be qualified for the job based on his ability. There is a high chance that he will screw up the project and even ruin his reputation.
.But for the sake of family and life, and to make ends meet, the male protagonist must cherish every hard-won job invitation.
On the one hand, he is worried about his incompetence, and on the other hand, he is concerned about his family and livelihood. The male protagonist is struggling internally and is hesitant about whether to accept the job.
at the same time.
The daughter, who was influenced by her family environment since she was a child, followed in her father's footsteps and became a filmmaker when she grew up, and inherited the male protagonist's stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat.
But unlike the male protagonist, the male protagonist has been polished off by work and life, and has learned to compromise and muddle along. However, his daughter is still in the age of passionate youth, and she is strict and responsible about her work and is extremely serious.
On this day, the daughter who was too serious at work had a conflict with the crew and was kicked out of the crew. It happened to be her daughter's birthday on this day. When she got home, she found that her father who was supposed to prepare a birthday cake for her had neglected it.
She had no preparation at all. So, after being hit one after another, not being recognized at work, and being ignored by her father on her birthday, the daughter ran out of the house in anger.
…
In the cinema.
Li Chengyou sat in the back row. When the plot reached this point, he couldn't help but cheer up and carefully observed the reaction of the audience in the front row.
Different from the original RB movie in the previous life, although the emotional line between the father and his daughter is also shown in the movie, it is not obvious or prominent, or in other words, there are no memorable and moving highlights. And the father just wants to make his daughter happy.
The reasons for taking the job were also a bit too far-fetched.
That's why.
Li Chengyou adapted this plot.
…
on the screen.
After her daughter ran out of the house, her father found her with a paper cake with a candle on it.
"Minshan, I'm sorry, happy birthday...Daddy, I'm sorry. Dad shouldn't have been busy with work and neglected your birthday. It was daddy's fault that he neglected my most precious daughter. But, daddy, I... was not born all the time.
Even dad, he is also a father for the first time, and he will make mistakes and be careless sometimes, so, can my precious daughter be a little considerate and forgive dad this time?"
Listening to her father's apologetic apology, her daughter also felt guilty and knew that she had gone too far.
"Abba, it's my fault. I'm sorry. I shouldn't take it out on you. I'm just in a bad mood because of work. I have admired my father since I was a child and hope to become a director like my father and become a director who can make my father feel
Proud daughter, but why do I get scolded the more serious and responsible I am? Is there anything wrong with working seriously?"
…
"嘤嘤~~嘤嘤~~"
When this scene appeared on the screen, a slight sob suddenly sounded from the front row. Li Chengyou's heart tightened, and then he relaxed.
He knew that the scene was stable and his adaptation was recognized by the audience.
The reason why he adapted the movie and added this scene is not only to highlight the emotional line between father and daughter, but also to make the father accept the job in order to make his daughter happy and to be proud of himself.
The audience is more likely to empathize.
After all, such things are very common in real life.
The more conscientious and responsible they are at work, they are criticized for not being tactful enough and not understanding the ways of the world. Many young people have had this experience and suffered such criticism.
…
On the screen, the plot continues to advance.
In order to become a father whom his daughter admires, and to make his daughter happy and meet his favorite idol, the actor accepted a job at a television station.
But as soon as the crew was formed, the male lead began to have big headaches.
Unreliable actors, a recording engineer with many demands, a male lead who thinks too highly of himself, and a female lead who looks cute but is actually troublesome... The shooting of the short film hasn't even started yet, but the crew is already filled with monsters and monsters.
The male protagonist had to make various compromises and appeasements to barely keep the entire crew running.
But two hours before the filming started, something went wrong with the crew: the actor who played the director and the actor who played the makeup artist got into a car accident because of their affair and couldn't come!
"Pfft hahahaha——"
When the crew started to have frequent accidents and various situations, the male protagonist suddenly broke out, and the movie officially reached a turning point.
"Hahahaha, that's it, it's so damn funny!"
Hearing a burst of laughter, Li Chengyou looked over and found that the boy in the front row who was laughing was the boy in the front row who said he was bored and sleepy. He didn't know when he woke up again.
The plot continues to advance.
The crew was already in chaos, but the live broadcast had to continue. The actor had no choice but to lead everyone around, tearing down the east wall and repairing the west wall, cleverly resolving various crises, triggering bursts of laughter.
Until the last half hour of the movie, the laughter in the cinema never stopped, and bursts of laughter rang out from the front row from time to time.
Li Chengyou sat in the back row, observing the audience's reaction, and his mentality was completely stable.
He knows that as long as he can win the approval of the audience, even if his remake does not reach the box office heights of the previous Japanese version, there will be no problem in recovering the cost and making a profit. For him, a new director, as long as the movie can make a profit
, is already a very good starting point.
What's more, judging from the reaction of the audience, the results of this movie should not be too bad.
Half an hour later, the movie came to an end and the lights in the theater came on again.
Li Chengyou squinted his eyes slightly, adjusting to the light, when a burst of praise came from the front row again——
"I really admired the director's imagination. This movie is so interesting. The first part is boring to death, but the second part is so classic. The most interesting thing is that without the boring part of the first part, the second part is gone.
Classic. What a genius the director is."
Li Chengyou took a quick look and found that it was the same boy who said he was bored and sleepy before.
Li Chengyou: "..."
Young man, you are so naughty at first and respectful at the end, you are really... discerning!
I have to say, there is nothing more satisfying than being able to admire someone who originally criticized you.
Li Chengyou stood up, took a breath, raised his head slightly, and looked at the screen.
At this moment the movie has ended and the screen is blank.
But Li Chengyou knew that he had already painted a lot on this blank space.
Chapter completed!
