Zhang Shuping handed in the script and went off to have fun.
Liang Ping was so generous that he readily arranged for Zhang Shuping to have two cell bosses, also known as assistants, and let him go. For the sake of the script, he looked at Zhang Shuping's old-skinned and old-fashioned appearance, which made him look much more handsome.
The script is very complete, there are no loopholes in cause and effect, and logic. Even Liang Ping couldn't help but have many ideas after seeing the script. So as a workaholic, while waiting for Lu Lu to arrive, he had already started drawing storyboards and arranging new scenes.
Shooting planned.
Some shots need to be added, but what has been shot is not wasted. This is the benefit of a mature screenwriter, who knows how to save money.
He thought that when Lu Lu came, he would take a look at the script and it shouldn't be difficult to convince him. It was indeed a bit excessive to delete Liu Wei's role, but she was a member of his own family, so she had signed it, and she would give it to Lu Beijing in his new movie in the future.
She just needs to arrange the role, and I won’t treat her badly.
The idea was beautiful, and the work on hand was done very quickly. Lu Lu rushed over nine hours later and opened the door of the hotel room. It looked like it was on fire. Liang Ping greeted him with a worried look on his face: "Here he comes.
, sit down and look at the new script, I’m telling you, this script really might win an award.”
When Lu Lu heard this, she suppressed her anger by three points no matter how high it was.
He first turned on the air conditioner to get some fresh air, then asked the room service to clean up the room, take out the trash, and arrange food and drink for Liang Ping. After making Director Liang feel comfortable, he sat down and read the script.
Liang Ping immediately put down the huge stone in his heart, thinking that he was sure of it. After finishing a bowl of fried noodles sent by the hotel, he couldn't wait to tell Lu Lu how he wanted to make this film.
Lu Lu has a very good appreciation of scripts. Every year, Lu Beijing gets countless scripts, and he has to read and screen them one by one.
In fact, it is easy to tell whether a script is good or bad. Everyone has a good appreciation of writing. If you read too much and don't know how to write, you will be able to tell one, two, and three.
In fact, what a script needs is not to be surprising, but to be able to make an ordinary story come alive, only then it is worth reading.
The story must be simple, good and evil must be clear, the first act of the opening must clearly explain the story of the opposites of good and evil, the second act must have a turning point, the third act must be rich enough, etc. Crested head, pig belly, leopard tail, these six
The same key to typography applies to movies.
In this script, just reading the first three scenes, Lu Lu knew that Liang Ping was right, and there was really no need for the heroine to appear.
If the heroine is not included in the first three acts, it means that she is not needed.
Sometimes the audience likes the movie to have love in it, and will not watch it if there is no love or heroine; but sometimes, the audience hates the movie to have the heroine in it, and they will scold it as soon as it comes out.
In fact, it is to see whether the heroine disrupts the rhythm of the film and hinders the logic of watching the film. Once the logic is broken, it is difficult not to be angry.
In the previous script, Liu Wei would answer the phone and chat with friends, which officially started the film.
At the beginning, Lu Beijing discovered the trafficker's information and went to the police. Then Liu Wei's appearance indicated that she would be abducted, and the audience's hearts would immediately rise, worrying whether she would be abducted.
But in this scene, Lu Beijing didn't even have to call the police when he appeared. He chatted with his family and said he was going out, told his girlfriend that he was going to collect photos, told his neighbors, the property manager, and the doorman that he was going out temporarily.
Please help him look after his house. If anyone comes to see him, please explain it to him.
This all shows that he is about to go out.
Then on the train, he chatted on WeChat with the man who revealed that women were trafficked in his hometown, hinting at the true purpose of this business.
He went there to write a true report and to expose the evil deeds in this place.
He is a reporter who is preparing to enter the industry, and he plans to use this report to start his career as a journalist.
After Lu Lu finished watching, she asked Liang Ping: "Is there really no more Sisi drama?"
Liang Ping shook his head: "How could it be? Look, I marked it all."
He took the storybook over and showed it to Liang Ping. The drawings on it were all stick figures, with names written on their faces to represent the characters, so that the viewers would not understand what this was all about. The sky was written on the sky, and the ground was written on the ground.
The train is written as a train, and the male and female protagonists are written as the male and female protagonists.
Liang Ping pointed to a big stick figure and a small stick figure: "Look, this is Brother Lu, and this is Sisi." Turning over another one, "This is on the train, this is Brother Lu, and this is Sisi."
.”
There are more at the back.
After reading it, Lu Lu understood: "Did you turn Sisi into a supporting role?"
An "unnamed" supporting character.
It is a decrypted part of the film, a final easter egg.
The previous human traffickers also had contact with Lu Beijing one after another, and later their true identities were revealed one by one, forming a sharp contrast between good and evil, proving that the bad guys have no words written on their faces, and they are still ordinary people, even friendlier and more disguised than ordinary people.
Just like a murderer who has been on the run for thirty years and was caught. Neighbors say he is a good guy. Why? Because bad guys also know how to disguise themselves. They usually pretend to be good guys so that others won't suspect him when something goes wrong.
Liu Wei has always been a passerby, and she didn't show her face until she was finally rescued by Lu Beijing, but——
Lu Lu looked through the script, but Liang Ping didn't give Liu Wei a line, not even a single line. In the previous script, Liu Wei and Lu Beijing had a self-introduction in the cave, which was the scene closest to love, and it was deleted from this version.
The two just ran away, and Liu Wei didn't say a word to Lu Beijing until they separated, so of course she had no chance to introduce her name.
Lu Lu frowned. He was not dissatisfied with Liu Wei's lack of lines, but he was worried that she wouldn't be able to play this silent role.
Without lines, she can only rely on her performance to make the audience remember her, not to mention that all her scenes have become background panels. It is likely that after the release, the audience will need to watch the film several times to find her out of the film.
Is this called a heroine?
No, this is called a supporting actress. It’s not even as good as the young girl playing the human trafficker, because she also has lines to introduce herself, so the audience must have a deeper impression of her.
Lulu shook her head, put down the script, and said, "It's too bullying, like this."
Liang Ping felt embarrassed and did not dare to speak.
Lu Lu pointed at the script: "If Sisi wasn't one of our own, you wouldn't dare to bully her like this. You also have to consider whether you will cooperate with others in the future. If you think about this, you wouldn't dare to delete their scenes.
In this situation, is there anyone like you? You can't bully an honest child like this, Sisi respects you so much."
As a human being, Liang Ping certainly has a conscience. But when he is a director, he has no conscience.
So he hardened his heart and said, "Look at how good this script is... If the script is good, the movie will be good. Brother Lu hasn't had a good movie in several years, and others say he has stopped making movies."
These are really vicious words. Which actor under the age of thirty has retired from acting?
Lu Lu was so angry when she saw such remarks on the Internet that she almost sued the netizen. Fortunately, the last trace of reason stopped him.
If this script had appeared a week earlier, Lu Lu would have dared to violate her conscience again.
But, that's no longer possible.
Lu Lu arranged the order in her mind and felt that Brother Lu was more important than Liu Wei, but Liu Wei was more important than Liang Ping.
So, he patted Liang Ping on the shoulder, sighed heavily, and whispered: "You don't know, and I haven't told you yet. Sisi hasn't actually signed for us yet."
Liang Ping was confused and shocked: "Why haven't you signed it yet? How long has it been? It's been almost two months since the lawsuit was completed!"
Just like Lu Beijing said, the filming of "Summer" has started, but the heroine hasn't signed back yet, so he can't sleep.
Liang Ping won't be able to sleep either.
He dared to bully people like this because he thought Liu Wei had signed the contract and could no longer run away. Now he was told that this person was not yet a member of their family and could run away at any time.
Then he wouldn't dare to bully me like this.
Lu Lu said sadly: "It's not Brother Lu yet. I originally wanted to use some tough measures, but Brother Lu said that Sisi would sign the contract sooner or later. Seeing that she would definitely not be able to escape as the heroine in a movie, I relaxed a little.
"
This is indeed what a big-hearted person like Lu Beijing would do.
Liang Ping thought for a while and said sinisterly: "How about you go to Sisi now and sign the contract first, and I'll delay her for a while, just in time! Talk to her about the conditions."
You can say, "Because you didn't sign the contract, I cut your scene." After the person signs the contract, you can also say, "Because you signed the contract late, I have already cut your scene."
Look, what a suitable reason.
Lu Lu: "...You are too evil-minded and don't think about the future. Sisi can file a lawsuit with Excellent Era. Do you think she won't fight with us?"
Liang Ping finally discovered that Lulu and he were not from the same country, and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
Lu Lu took it for granted: "Let's add more scenes. Can't we just add her back to the heroine?"
Liang Ping: "...Isn't that enough? You're not a director, so you have a very loud tone."
Lu Lu: "Are you joining me? If you don't join me, I won't let Brother Lu come back." As an agent, I arrange ten or eight business affairs for the leading actor every minute, and you won't be able to do anything without the leading actor.
Liang Ping: "..."
The two of them were so desperate that neither of them gave in to the other, so they had to file separate petitions.
Lu Lu was superior. Before Liang Ping called Lu Beijing, he called Lu Beijing's assistant.
Lu Lu: "Where is your brother Lu's cell phone? Is it in your hand? Okay, turn it off."
Assistant: "Huh?"
Lulu: "Shut down."
Assistant: "Oh..."
The assistant didn't know why, so he honestly turned off Lu Beijing's cell phone.
Liang Ping can't get in.
He thought, maybe he turned off his phone while he was working? The assistant was not around and no one had the phone?
It's indeed quite similar to what Lu Beijing did. Lu Beijing didn't like having his assistants serve him like little eunuchs.
Liang Daoqi missed a chance and Lu Lu instructed his assistant to give his cell phone to Lu Beijing, and successfully called Emperor Lu to complain first.
Lulu: "You must stand by my side."
Lu Beijing was thousands of miles away and had to settle the lawsuit. He was very helpless and asked: "How is the script?"
Lu Lu: "It's okay. The script is good, very complete, the logic is good, and the suspense is enough. Your one-man show gives you enough room to play. If you don't win the award in the end, the problem must be with the director."
Already."
Lu Beijing laughed, his heart was heated up by the words, and he couldn't help but have the idea of changing to a better director.
Lu Lu: "Sisi also needs this movie very much. You told her about three collaborative movies, but suitable movies are not so easy to come by. You may not have a suitable role for her in your next movie.
, or there may be another problem in the middle. This time it is all our own team, and next time it may not be our own. What I want is to try to use her when we are on our own to avoid accidents."
Lu Beijing thought for a while and accepted the suggestion.
Anyway, the movie hasn't been finished yet, so he can change his mind later.
After all, the most important thing is the movie.
He said: "Send the script over and let me take a look. Then ask the screenwriter if I can make any changes."
Lulu: "Okay, I'll go back today and bring the script back to you. Let the screenwriter change it after you finish it, right?"
Lu Beijing: "Yeah. That's right."
Lulu: "Huh?"
Lu Beijing: "Don't you have a good relationship with Director Wang? Let's see if he is free recently."
Lu Lu: "No need for Liang Ping?"
Lu Beijing: "According to what you said, Director Wang is better at this script. You ask first, and I will make a decision after I read the script."
Lulu: "Okay."
He hung up the phone, feeling a little guilty, and turned to comfort Liang Ping.
Liang Ping never got through, but he already knew it in his heart. When he saw Lu Lu approaching, it was like seeing a little goblin, and he snorted: "I told you to get the first one."
Like a generous wife, Lu Lu said gently: "Brother Lu wants to read the script, so I will send it to him first. You can discuss changing the script with the screenwriter."
A person as hard-hearted as Liang Ping felt sorry for Zhang Shushan, "It's also very hard for human screenwriters."
Lu Lu: "I can get him a little bonus, not too much, but it won't make his hard work in vain. Please give him more advice."
Liang Ping had no choice but to agree - it wasn't like he had to change it himself, so he added another 200 kilograms to see if it was difficult for others to carry the burden!
Lulu left by plane soon. Before leaving, she treated Liang Ping with all kinds of tenderness and tenderness, which made Director Liang a little scared. The main reason was that he was not Lulu's biological father, so suddenly he was so kind to him, which made people feel uneasy.
ah.
After Lu Lu left, Director Liang waited at the hotel for Zhang Shushan to return.
Zhang Shushan went out for three days under the protection of his two assistants, and finally returned to the hotel. As soon as he walked in, Director Liang smiled as tenderly as his own mother: "You're back? Are you tired? Come in and take a rest, I'll make an appointment for you
We have a Thai massage and a Cantonese banquet. After you have rested, we will go out for dinner."
Zhang Shushan stood at the door, refusing to go in.
Zhang Shushan: "I'm telling you! I won't change it anymore!"
Liang Ping immediately said: "There is a bonus!"
Zhang Shushan: "...How many are there?"
Liang Ping grabbed his hand: "Come on, let's come in and talk. Come in and talk."
The two assistants walked in with their luggage and closed the door.
