Chapter 228: Revising the Script, Worship and Gratitude
After Yang Mi and Reba finished reading the script, Zhang Xiao asked with a smile: "How do you feel about this script?"
Yang Mi thought for a while and said: "I will give it seven points at most. The story is a bit simple and there is nothing new."
"However, martial arts films are mainly about artistic conception and action. As long as these two aspects can be controlled well, a script with a score of 7 should be able to achieve an effect of 9."
As for Reba, she had never been exposed to movies before, and her views on the script were similar to Yang Mi's. However, she did not speak, but nodded in agreement with Yang Mi's statement.
After Zhang Xiao heard Yang Mi's words, he glanced at her in surprise and said: "Hey, my wife, you can do it. These words almost pointed out the essence of martial arts movies. It seems that I want you to come back this time."
Rebuilding is still useful!”
Yang Mi said with a slight expression of satisfaction: "As the saying goes, you should treat each other with admiration after three days apart. After re-learning this time, I have indeed gained a lot."
After saying that, he looked at Reba and said: "Go ahead and win this character. When this is over, you can go back and remake it."
"Well, okay!" Reba replied with firm eyes.
Seeing the changes in Yang Mi now, Reba felt very envious.
At this time, Yang Mi looked at Zhang Xiao again and asked curiously: "Honey, how would you rate this script?"
Zhang Xiao shrugged and said: "Six points. There are a lot of loopholes in the story. Many places are not explained clearly. So, you guys wait here for a while and I will make changes and try to make it reach eight points."
"Honey, are you ready to take on the role of Yu Huatian?" As soon as Yang Mi heard that Zhang Xiao was going to change the script, she knew that he had decided to take on the movie.
"That's right!" Zhang Xiao said: "If the score of this drama is six points, I will give the role of Yu Huatian nine points. As long as it is played well, this role will definitely become a classic, right?
What do you two say?"
"I definitely accepted it!" Yang Mi said: "I think the villain role of Su Huirong is very suitable for me, and it can be used to test my acting skills."
It's just that Reba was in trouble. He smiled bitterly and said: "I have agreed to participate in "Crossover Song God", and I have no confidence at all, although I really want to play this role."
Zhang Xiao heard this, thought for a while, and said: "Reba, since you have chosen to be with Mimi, I will treat you as one of my own. My suggestion is that you can transform and become an actor. Of course, in the end
The decision lies with you."
"As for that variety show, I think they won't just hold this one episode. Your manager will discuss it with the show team when the time comes. It won't be too late to go there. What do you think?"
"Yes!" Reba nodded heavily after hearing this and said, "Brother Xiao is right, I listen to you!"
Zhang Xiao smiled, stood up, and said, "Okay, you guys take a rest here first, and I'll go change the script."
After saying that, Zhang Xiao walked into the study.
Of course the system helped him change the script.
"System, how much reputation do I need to modify the script of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" and to what extent?" Zhang Xiao asked in his mind.
[The current system evaluation gives this script a score of 6.2. As long as the main plot remains unchanged, it can only be modified to a maximum of eight points, which requires 10 million reputation points. ]
"What? Ten million? This is more expensive than exchanging a new script." Zhang Xiao was speechless for a moment.
[Modifying a script based on the original is far more difficult than a new script, so it requires more reputation points.]
The system explained lightly.
"You're a cheating system, change it!"
Zhang Xiao said angrily.
An hour later, Zhang Xiao spent 10 million reputation points to revise the script of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", and now the script has reached an eighth score.
When Zhang Xiao showed the new script to Yang Mi and Reba, they couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
Yang Mi looked at Zhang Xiao with excitement and said, "Husband, you are so awesome. After your modifications, the quality of this script has at least improved by several levels."
"Thank you for the compliment!" Zhang Xiao replied with a smile.
Reba cast an admiring look at Zhang Xiao.
···
The next morning, Zhang Xiao sent his revised script to Li Liangjie.
Soon, Li Liangjie called him and invited him, Yang Mi and Reba to come to his home to discuss the matter of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" in an instant.
With the script changed by Zhang Xiao, as long as Reba has a little bit of acting skills, both Li Liangjie and Xu Ke will choose Reba.
It's just a supporting role, so it's not a big problem.
At six o'clock in the afternoon that day, Zhang Xiao and others took a plane to Li Liangjie's home.
Li Liangjie personally welcomed the three of them into the living room. Zhang Xiao glanced around and found that in addition to Li Liangjie's wife, there was also a middle-aged man about fifty years old with sharp eyes and a bright look.
This person is Hong Kong's eight-star director, Xu Ke.
After everyone greeted each other, they sat down at the dining table and started eating.
After three rounds of wine, five dishes, and a meal, everyone gradually became familiar with each other.
At this time, Xu Ke looked at Zhang Xiao and said: "Xiao Zai, you are worthy of being a great screenwriter who can write a classic TV series like "Nirvana in Fire"."
"After your revision of the script this time, our "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" has been improved by two or three levels, which makes me more confident."
Zhang Xiao smiled and said modestly: "So Director Xu means, are you planning to use my revised script for filming?"
Xu Ke said matter-of-factly: "Of course, if there is a better script, a fool would not use it!"
"Hahaha!" Li Liangjie laughed loudly and said: "Zhang Xiao, if you have more contact with Director Xu, you will find that he is not the kind of person who cares about face. As long as it is helpful to the movie, he can give any opinion.
accept."
"By the way, what are you thinking about?"
Zhang Xiao smiled and replied: "With such a good script and such a good team, of course we are willing to accept it, but what about Reba?"
Xu Ke slapped his thigh and said happily: "That's great. I've also seen Reba's film and television works. His acting skills are pretty good. There's no problem at all."
Reba looked at Zhang Xiao with grateful eyes. She knew that since she had never acted in a movie, the director would give her a supporting role for her first movie. This was not because of how good her acting skills were, but because of Zhang Xiao's face.
.
Yang Mi felt that Reba was a little nervous, so she patted the back of her hand, looked at Xu Ke and asked: "Director Xu, when will we start shooting "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate"?"
Chapter completed!
