Liu Wei had great opinions on the script, but she didn't have the confidence to mention it directly to a mature director like Liang Ping.
She thought to herself that Director Liang was a professional, and he must know more about movies and the market than she did. What he said was the same as what was said in the book, and it did make sense. Maybe her idea would not work in movies, after all.
She is just an ordinary person. She has only made movies as an actress and has never produced a movie herself. She will definitely be very cautious about making such a big investment in a movie.
——But she recalled the difficult script of "The Legend of King Wu" and how her homework became the project of "Journey to the West".
She thinks this circle is too magical.
She struggled for a long time - probably all night - and decided to send a message to Lulu to ask.
Lulu quickly called and said, "Do you think there is a problem with the script of "Woof Woof"? What is the problem? Is it serious?"
Liu Wei quickly expressed her feelings about the heroine: "The heroine seems to have changed into a fool, but it's like green tea or something. Her kindness has been exaggerated, which makes her look fake."
Lulu had read the script. To be honest, he just thought the script was a bit cliched, but he didn't feel that way.
However, he supports the leading actor to speak on the script. Actors must learn this, that is, they must be responsible for the role they want to play. They must be their own masters and be a thoughtful actor instead of just following instructions. Actors as actors
Tool people play the biggest role in the movie, but on the other hand, they are just tools to express the director's ideas. They are both great and small. If the actors are too passive, they can easily be manipulated by the director and the crew, and this circle is also
We cannot trust the professional ethics and conscience of every practitioner. It is very dangerous to become a tool. You must have the awareness and initiative to protect yourself.
Now that she has her own crew and her own director, to put it bluntly, Liu Wei doesn't have to be afraid of upsetting Liang Ping. She can practice her courage at home with confidence.
Otherwise, Liang Ping, who first discovered her, would have too much authority in front of her. Liu Wei's experience in "The Legend of King Wu" also made her too willing to be a director's tool. If she goes out in the future, she will
Problems can easily arise when working with other directors and crews.
Lu Lu said: "If you think you have a problem, take the initiative to communicate with Director Liang and express your thoughts to him."
Liu Wei was really worried and said, "Would this seem disrespectful to him? He is a director and a professional. I am only half-full."
Lu Lu: "The actor is the protagonist of the film performance. No matter what the director's idea is, it will ultimately be implemented by you. If you don't like your role, how can you perform well?"
Liu Wei: "But Brother Lu can still play the role well even if he doesn't like it."
Lu Beijing often complained about Jiang Wu in "The Legend of King Wu", but he still performed well.
Lu Lu turned around and said: "That's Lu Beijing. You are not him. Don't give yourself difficult tasks. Just think of it this way. You are a poor student compared with Lu Beijing. Director Liang is the teacher who makes the questions. Lu Beijing can do difficult tasks as well as good ones."
To get high marks, you are a bad student. You just need the teacher to explain the questions to you. It is best for you to follow along with the questions so that you can get high marks. Don't think that what you say is too childish and you are embarrassed to say it. Go ahead confidently.
Just say that you want to make a simple test paper and let him correct it according to your instructions."
Liu Wei felt very moved after hearing this and said, "What if the script I told you is not popular after filming?"
Lu Lu whispered: "Don't worry, I'm here. Then it will be Director Liang's problem, and it will be his fault."
There is no need for Lu Lu to mention this. If the movie really fails and Liu Wei is a new actor, Liang Ping will rush to take the blame. He will never dare to put the blame on Liu Wei. Even if he comes out to apologize publicly.
Let Liuwei take the blame.
Liu Wei was amused, hung up the phone, and called Lu Beijing again.
Lu Beijing also read the script. He recalled that the image of the heroine seemed to be a bit formulaic. He didn't feel the fakeness Liu Wei said, but he felt that the heroine's family situation should be improved at the beginning, such as giving her a whole new life.
A big villa makes people know that she is a rich girl.
Liu Wei didn't know the rich girl and was shocked: "Would a rich girl really invite more than 20 classmates to play?"
Lu Beijing has indeed met many rich people, and many of them love to spend money. However, he feels that some of them spend money for fun, so it is not unreasonable to invite classmates to farmhouses.
Liu Wei let out a wow, truly shocked.
But Lu Beijing then changed his mind and said, "However, if you are not satisfied with the script design, just tell Director Liang and see if the script can be changed."
Liu Wei: "Is that okay?"
Lu Beijing said firmly: "Yes. Although you are an actor, you have to listen to the director on the set, but it is not wrong to have your own ideas about the character. You can tell the director. And this script is not an ordinary script." He paused.
After a moment, he said emphatically: "This is tailor-made for you. You are the core of this project, and your ideas should be taken into account."
Liu Wei seemed to have been put on a crown, and suddenly found that he could take charge of his own affairs.
—— Tailor-made.
This is what the word originally meant.
Lu Beijing: "Don't worry, go talk to Director Liang. Even if he insists that he is right, you can insist that you are right and persist to the end. He will definitely give in in the end."
Lu Lu said this, Lu Beijing also said this, Liu Wei suddenly found support for his ideas.
She chuckled, wanting to hear Brother Lu praise her too, and asked, "Why?"
Lu Beijing laughed twice, and said in a cold yet gentle voice: "Because he has a replacement, you are unique. There is only one Liu Wei, and Liang Ping is gone, we can still find other directors."
Liu Wei hung up the phone, her skin was still numb, and goosebumps were crawling layer after layer.
It's more of fear than excitement.
In the past, she was not the chosen one in other places and could only be reduced to a tool. Now she is the chosen one, but because of her previous experience, she does not dare to be happy now, and instead feels nervous.
Think about Brother Lu, he is the one who chooses, but sometimes he is also the one who is chosen.
No one can always be at the absolute top. There is bound to be another side that chooses you.
Keep your mind calm when you are being chosen, and you must also be calm when you are the chooser.
Liu Wei thought for a moment, wrote down her opinions on the script, and typed the draft again before calling Director Liang, saying hello politely, and carefully asking Director Liang if he was free and if he wanted to eat together.
A meal.
Liang Ping, who had long been called by Lu Lu and Lu Beijing to mention that Liu Wei wanted to comment on the script, immediately said that he was very free and would be there soon. He really remembered to have dinner with her and chat with her.
The housekeeping aunt was asked to prepare a table of quality dishes. The aunt has a chef certificate. When Liang Ping arrived, she saw that the dishes on the table included orchids carved from white radish, roses carved from Xinmei radish, and watermelon.
Fu Lu Shou, there is a phoenix carved from a cantaloupe, and a long table for ten people is filled to the brim.
What they knew was that Auntie performed beyond her level, but Liang Ping, who didn't know, was trembling in his heart when he sat down.
He came here with the intention of coaxing the child, but the food on the table really frightened him. When Liu Wei raised his opinion, he did not dare to be too condescending, but could talk on an equal footing.
Liu Wei raised the issue of the heroine. First of all, she didn't like the design of the heroine quarreling with the hero at the beginning.
Liu Wei: "I really dislike her. I don't like such a heroine."
Liang Ping said calmly, "That's okay. I'll discuss it with the screenwriter and change it. For example, change it to a 5,000-meter cross-country. The heroine twists her foot and the hero carries her through the cross-country. How about that?"
In the original work, the heroine is just twisting her feet on the ground, which is indeed an old-fashioned heroine. It is changed to twisting her feet off-road, which seems more reasonable and does not make the heroine too incompetent. The male protagonist readily lets the heroine take her leave.
She participated in military training - this is really mouth-watering! - and turned into running the entire distance with the heroine on her back. It's a little sweeter, but it's okay.
Liu Wei liked this adaptation and was satisfied.
Liang Ping struck while the iron was hot and said: "I found that the description of the heroine was indeed not sufficient." This was mentioned by Lu Beijing. Since the heroine is revealed to be a rich girl later on, it should be clicked on earlier.
Liang Ping: "Although the heroine is a rich second generation, she is usually relatively simple and not many people know about her in school."
The eldest lady who hides her identity is very fashionable.
Liu Wei was a little hesitant. Although she had played the role of a princess, a queen of a country, and was said to be a top second-generation rich person, she could be considered a first-generation rich person. However, she was not used to playing a second-generation rich person in a modern setting.
She: "Where's the back?"
Liang Ping clapped his hands: "But the heroine's family life is not happy."
Liu Wei suddenly thought of the male protagonist's changed family background, her heart trembled, and asked: "How unhappy are you?"
Liang Ping: "My parents are divorced, each has a mistress, and both of them are homeless. The heroine lives in a big villa every day, with only a nanny and driver to accompany her."
Liu Wei thought for a moment and said, "You mean the heroine is so poor that she only has money, right?"
——This life doesn’t seem that bad after all.
Liang Ping clapped his hands again: "Then she spends money to buy friends, which can match her later spending money to send classmates to farmhouses."
Liu Wei: "Then, she will be able to appreciate the friendliness and beauty of the male protagonist even more."
Liang Ping: "Yes! How is it?"
It seems to be getting better, but it still feels wrong.
Liu Wei did not find anything uncomfortable about the heroine's family background for the time being, and she continued to talk about what she had written seriously.
She said: "Can we not make the male protagonist so miserable?"
Liang Ping: "It's tragedy that makes people moved easily. Think about it, since he is so miserable and so strong, isn't it normal for the heroine to fall in love with him? Only in this way will she want to help him, and in this way can the heroine's kindness and kindness be reflected.
good."
Liu Wei thought for a while and said: "That makes sense. But I think it's too strong. The male protagonist is so miserable that it seems wrong that the female protagonist doesn't sympathize with him. Obviously the male protagonist has a happy family with both parents.
Even if he is not sick or in trouble, the heroine can also like him."
Liang Ping: "Because the male protagonist's character is too bland and he doesn't remember any shining points or memorable points. I'm afraid that if the male protagonist stands up, the audience will think why the female protagonist likes him? But if he is pitiful, the female protagonist will
It makes sense that pity leads to love." He sighed, "Handsome guys are so hard to find, and it's even harder to find those with special qualities.
Come on, in the end, it is very likely that this movie will choose a male protagonist who is very ordinary in all aspects. He may be handsome among ordinary people, but he may be just ordinary in the movie. In a love movie, both male and female protagonists must be
It has to make people think, and he has to be able to be loved by the heroine without being abrupt."
Liu Wei was almost said to be stuck again, because what Liang Ping said did make sense. Even the teacher in class said that when the appearance time is short and the actors' acting skills are not guaranteed, if the script wants to be successful, it must highlight the key points of the characters. How exaggerated.
It doesn't matter. Why does the male protagonist of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" have to be so ugly that people and gods are outraged? By adding all kinds of ugly characteristics to the male protagonist and then pairing it with a beautiful heroine, this can create a huge contrast.
Why do various variety shows allow participants to show off their misfortunes? It’s because tragic events can deepen the audience’s impression of them. Most of the participants are ordinary people. If the story of a happy family is told, then everyone may only be able to tell the story.
If the parents are loving, the couple is harmonious and the children are smart, there is a lot that can be changed if something tragic happens.
Happy families are always similar, but unhappy families are each unhappy in their own way.
See, that's it.
Liang Ping added buffs to the male protagonist precisely because it was an effective method.
but--
Liu Wei insisted on her own idea: "I still think that the heroine should not develop romantic feelings because she sympathizes with a person, she should like a beautiful person."
At this point, what she represents is her own view of relationships. She knows that her family is very bad, and her personality is not good. If she is looking for a boyfriend, she will definitely want to find someone with a good family, good personal conditions, and a good personality.
, because she feels that a good family is a family that is different from hers. The boy from such a family must be a very good person - whether he can find it is another matter, but when he dreams, he will definitely
Is it better to imagine the best, or to dream of the worst?
Therefore, she really cannot fall in love with this male protagonist. The male protagonist in the original work is very good. She can understand that the female protagonist in the original work likes the male protagonist, but she does not understand that the female protagonist in the script likes the male protagonist in the script, especially
Compare it to the male protagonist in the original work.
Based on what Brother Lu said, Liu Wei firmly insisted on his own ideas: "I want to make this male protagonist's character better. His martial arts can be better, and his person can be better, so he shouldn't be so miserable."
Liang Ping had no choice but to obey and sighed: "Okay. Since you said so, let's change it. The male protagonist's character is not important anyway." Let the flat surface be flat. What the heroine asks of course is to listen to the heroine.
Lord's.
This conversation was concluded successfully.
Before leaving, Liang Ping said: "How about you use your imagination and write a script, and you can act however you want."
Liu Wei didn't dare: "Is it possible? I'll write it?" This script is a real movie script. Although she said she wrote the script for "Journey to the West", she knew very well that when it came time to actually film "Journey to the West"
It was written by a real screenwriter, and what she wrote does not count at all.
Liang Ping didn't take it too seriously, and said with a smile: "You can just write it without worry. We will discuss it after you finish it. If you don't want to revise it and make sure you remember it correctly, just treat it as an assignment and practice your skills."
After he finished speaking, he left, which made Liu Wei very embarrassed. He said that he was writing her own script, but she didn't have the ability to control a script at all.
Liu Wei struggled for four days and finally used her imagination.
She handed the script to Liang Ping neatly.
Liang Ping got it and took a look, omg.
"Ghost movie?"
He was dumbfounded.
He asked Liu Wei to use her imagination, and she really used her imagination. She wrote a fairy tale.
The heroine's left eye can see ghosts.
It’s an old saying that the left eye sees ghosts.
But ghost movies are definitely not allowed to be filmed and will never pass the censorship review.
Liu Wei said: "I don't think I can write a serious script, so I just wrote it for fun. The female protagonist can see ghosts. She can see the ghosts around the male protagonist, including his enemies, his comrades, and him."
That dead dog. How about she helped the hero regain his lost confidence?"
How about it?
The sky is unconstrained.
After Liang Ping read the script, he felt it was refreshing.
Liu Wei is the heroine, and with Lu Beijing and the character she taught him personally, she brings her dominance to the extreme. The male protagonist's existence continues to be compressed and becomes a tool, and the heroine becomes the only performer in the script.
But the storyline is very cliched - this is not a derogation, this is a compliment. It is not easy to make mistakes if it is cliched.
It has nothing to do with the theme of youth love.
After Liang Ping thought carefully, he closed the script and said, "It's very good. It's very inspiring."
Liu Wei said very understandingly: "You can just take a look at it. I wrote it blindly."
Liang Ping said: "It's quite fun."
It's really fun.
When he saw the script, he decided how he wanted to film it. Although he couldn't film it, there was nothing wrong with his imagination. Compared to filming the formulaic "Woof Woof Woof", this supernatural version was actually more interesting.
That's right, I can't take pictures.
Liang Ping walked away with the script in his arms and thought about it all the way.
——Can’t take pictures.
——How about saying that the heroine is lying? She is a psychopath... No, this is too avant-garde.
——What about saying she lied?
The heroine lies habitually.
She is lying.
She made up many stories.
She has deceived many people, been ripped off, and some people believe her.
Does the hero believe it?
Liang Ping's mind was lit up by this story!
He was distracted and thought - yes, he needs to find the author to add a clause.
For example, if the original work is to be magically modified, he needs to agree to the crew's magical modification of the original work.
