Afterwards, everyone who watched the film submitted a more detailed answer sheet and made many comments on various aspects of the film. Among them, the ending was the most unacceptable to the audience.
Liang Ping himself thinks that all three endings are acceptable. Some of them may be insufficient and need to be enriched with more pictures or plots. But the general context is there and the framework is complete. But he cannot understand why the audience is so obsessed with a happy reunion.
ending.
He then called a group of people to watch a small meeting and analyze the answer sheets together.
Recently, everyone has been brainstorming too much, and they all say the same thing. Everyone can understand what Director Liang means, but the audience just wants a happy ending.
"Love movies need a happy ending." "No, they are commercial movies and they need a happy ending."
"Yes, even if the two of them turn from rich to pauper, or someone becomes terminally ill or injured, they must be reunited and be together in the end."
"Director, don't be stubborn at this time and have to fight with the audience. Tragedy is really only your director's favorite thing, and no one in the audience likes it."
"Yes!" "That's right!"
At this time, it was obvious that Liang Ping was really approachable. Even though so many people opposed him, he didn't do anything.
He is really thinking about whether to change his mind and create a more happy ending.
Liu Wei looked at everyone, raised her hand and said, "Director Liang, I have something to say." Liang Ping nodded: "Say." Lu Beijing: "You're welcome."
The whole table laughed.
Liu Wei said: "In this way, can we create a tragedy in the middle and then give the ending a comedy? For example, as Xiao Lan mentioned just now, there can be someone terminally ill and someone injured in the middle, but the two of them have to be together at the end." Liang Ping raised his head,
After thinking for a while: "Who can do something in the middle?" Liu Wei: "Of course it's the heroine." Lu Beijing: "Instructor."
The two of them said it at the same time. After they finished speaking, they looked at each other.
Liu Wei reiterated: "The heroine, she is the protagonist, of course she should be the one who gets into trouble."
Lu Beijing: "The instructor is used to promote the plot, just like a dog. When the time comes, the heroine can just take the route of redemption."
Liang Ping waved his hand: "Wait a minute, you two, stop arguing. We haven't decided how to add the plot yet. Screenwriter Qiao, do you have any ideas?"
Screenwriter Qiao was very calm: "No. You can add it as you say."
Director Liang was moved: "No, no, no, it still depends on your opinion. You decide who should be added and where."
Screenwriter Qiao took a look at Liu Wei and Lu Beijing who were fighting for a scene, and he was very familiar with this scene. Don't look at the theater where they are so in love, but they can be red-faced after a scene arguing over a word. This is what an actor is.
If you steal my show, you will be my life-or-death enemy.
Screenwriter Qiao: "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether you are a man or a woman. We treat illness and injury equally."
Director Liang: "What kind of injury is appropriate?"
Screenwriter Qiao: "Considering the appearance, it is best not to suffer too complicated injuries. I recommend car accidents, which are relatively simple and easy to handle. If you are sick, you can also have a relatively simple disease so that it is easier for the public to understand. Leukemia is the most suitable. This disease is too famous.
Already."
At this time, Kong Zelan raised his hand: "I'm not against it. It's just that the dog in the front was sick and went to the pet hospital, and the people in the back also went to the hospital when they were sick. Wouldn't it be a bit repetitive?"
Screenwriter Qiao: "There is indeed one thing. In a drama, it will not be too obvious, but will produce a dramatic effect, but in a movie, it may not be very suitable." She glanced at Lu Beijing and said: "I speak straightforwardly, Brother Lu, don't mind."
I think it’s your dog entering the hospital in the previous section. It would be inappropriate for the instructor to cause an accident, as it would appear too deliberate. If you need to go to the hospital in this section, I recommend that it be arranged for the heroine."
Liu Wei's chest suddenly puffed up. Lu Beijing didn't speak. Silence meant agreement.
Liang Papi said, "Then I think about it now." He looked at his phone and said, "I'll send someone to buy food. I'll leave today if I want to."
Everyone in the conference room was looking at him.
This is not the time to be polite.
Liang Papi let others think about the plot. He continued to take out the edited film and watch it while thinking about where he could make more cuts. Lu Beijing wanted to sit next to Screenwriter Qiao, but Liang Ping pulled him back: "Don't go there, come over here."
Let me think about what else can be changed."
Lu Beijing: "I think it's appropriate to put it on me, and finally give the heroine a highlight moment." Liang Ping: "How to highlight it?"
Lu Beijing: "She saved me selflessly."
Liang Ping: "Then did she donate bone marrow or kidney to you?" Lu Beijing: "It doesn't matter."
Liu Wei came in: "I don't think it's appropriate. This is a cookie." Liang Ping and Lu Beijing raised their heads together, both of them were confused. Liang Ping: "If it's not sweet, then the ending will be changed."
"
Lu Beijing tried hard to keep up with the girl's thinking - he always felt that he and Liu Wei were from two different eras and had different ways of thinking. However, when it came to acting, he was a teacher, but when it came to thinking about movies, he was very willing
Let Liu Wei be the teacher.
Now, Student Lu is following the teacher's train of thought: "Do you think it's not sweet enough for the heroine to donate bone marrow or kidney to the instructor?"
Liu Wei: "The heroine has given too much, but the instructor has given nothing."
Liang Ping and Lu Beijing looked at each other, and suddenly their eyes lit up together. Liang Ping: "Change it!" He immediately pulled out his notebook and was about to write.
Lu Beijing: "Change the part about the farmhouse in the last section and change it to the heroine going to support education. When a landslide occurs, the instructor is nearby and participates in the disaster relief."
Liang Ping caught up with the train of thought and continued: "Then the instructor was injured. By the way, that dog!" Lu Beijing: "Yes, the dog is a military dog and must have had search and rescue experience."
Liang Ping: "Two dogs, both dogs participated in the search and rescue, but only the heroine knew what the other dog was talking about." Lu Beijing: "Okay, now we are connected."
Liang Ping: "During the rescue, the instructor had an accident and needed a blood transfusion, so the heroine donated blood." Lu Beijing: "Yes, it makes sense for the two of them to end up together."
Liang Ping had already written out the outline quickly. He raised his head and called: "Screenwriter Qiao!"
Screenwriter Qiao had already come over and said, "I heard everything. Give me a few hours and I can write it tonight." Liang Ping: "Just write out the lines and characters you need." Screenwriter Qiao: "That's it.
It's easy."
Everything went as fast as a tornado.
Liang Ping walked out of the conference room and called the two directors, as well as the leaders of each group. Tasks were assigned one by one, and the entire crew was running at high speed.
Lu Beijing said to Liu Wei: "Next, prepare to live on the set. Liu Wei sighed: "I am prepared."
The shooting location is still the community under construction.
The leader of the camera team took people over to find the shooting location. There were ready-made foundation pits, piles of rubble, mountains of earth, tower cranes, props and safety personnel. It seemed that a lot of safety facilities were needed, and they were all on hand.
rent.
After the lighting team went to see it, they immediately placed a large number of orders, renting all the headlights and generators, and rented two water trucks. According to Director Liang's instructions, the money spent on filming this scene was quite a lot.
The props team also followed suit and placed orders.
Even the assistant director said to Director Liang: "At least two hundred extras are needed." Director Liang: "Please!"
Assistant director: "Then go ahead and ask for money. I don't dare to go."
Director Liang: "What do I ask you for? Let me do this kind of thing." Assistant director: "Then you let me be scolded and treated like a grandson." Director Liang: "I can't be treated like a grandson by others."
Bar."
The two of them competed with each other with their eyes.
The assistant director was defeated first and sighed: "You have finished filming, why are you still fussing about it?" Director Liang: "The script has been changed."
Assistant director: "It's almost finished. We can make peace with each other. You're spending so much money now and you can't even get it out."
Director Liang thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
He thought about it and whispered to the assistant director: "Can you give me some credit first?" The assistant director was also knowledgeable, so he also whispered: "Who are you looking for?"
Director Liang: "Think about who is suitable. If you haven't come to you recently to inquire about something, just find the right one."
The assistant director thought about it and said, "It is true, but this amount needs to be at least 500,000 to 800,000 to be almost enough. I plan to focus on shooting and waste, and double it, that is, 200,000."
Wanba. My reputation is not that big, otherwise I would let the heroine go out for a meal."
Director Liang: "What are you thinking about? I can't even let her go when I go to have dinner with someone."
Assistant director: "You need someone willing to pay for it. I can't think of any, but your network is wider than mine. You need to find someone."
Director Liang wanted to stab someone, but he couldn't make up his mind. He was worried that his reputation was not wide enough. So he went to ask Lu Beijing.
Lu Beijing - You will understand after listening. I have no money.
Lu Beijing: "It's because it's not in the account."
Director Liang: "There is still at least 30% of the money in the account that is not used, but it is almost finished, and it is estimated that it will not come out." Lu Beijing: "How much difference"
Director Liang: "Save it for 1.8 million." Lu Beijing: "Then I'll pay for it."
Director Liang: "No. There are so many rich people. How can you get away with this? I haven't even given you the director's money yet." Lu Beijing: "Then I'll go get the money from you."
Director Liang laughed: "You may not be able to get it out if you go. The money in the account looks like dead money. I guess it has been transferred away by them a long time ago. If you go there temporarily, you will definitely not be able to get it out. It will take a week at least."
.I need it urgently, but time cannot wait."
Lu Beijing: "If you need it urgently, you don't want to borrow it from me, but you want to borrow it from someone else."
Liang Ping patted his arm and said seriously: "Brother, I can't let you suffer a loss. It's easy for you to take out this money now, but it's hard to say when you can get it back. It's a year and a half away, and it's not even worth it."
It’s cleared, and you are borrowing money at this time. I am not qualified to sign a loan contract with you on behalf of the crew. I have already said it back. Why should I ask you to borrow money when I have money in my account? You won’t even be able to get it in the end. You don’t
Do you mind throwing this million away? I don't mind. Let's go to the rich man. The rich man is holding back on making money from us. They don't mind paying more."
Lu Beijing: "Who do you want to find?"
Liang Ping thought for a while and said, "I went to drink with Lu Lu before, and he introduced me to a boss in Shanxi. But I didn't remember his phone number at the time, and it's not convenient to ask him out now."
Lu Beijing rolled his eyes and called Lulu.
Lulu had already heard that the script had been changed again, but within a few hours she received a call saying that there was not enough money.
Liang Ping took the phone and nodded to Mr. Lu: "It's all money for renting equipment and hiring extras. It's all urgently needed. But you know this is too big, and the crew has no money left in their account. We need to find the money manager again."
Yes, but it will be finalized soon. If I go to ask for the money now, I will probably waste a day or two, and I will have to fight with them and file a lawsuit. I want to divert the money from other places first.
Go back and get the bill and use side B to get the money back, just to make a time difference."
The crew's money is not used casually. There is a person in charge of fund supervision, who is responsible for lending money to the crew, as much as it needs, and disbursing money regularly. It is impossible to call the crew all at once, and the rest is sitting in the bank.
It is now close to the completion date. The crew should have finished filming the big scenes long ago. The current flow of money should be very stable and low. Suddenly a large payment appears. The lender will definitely ask what is going on, and maybe they will audit it.
The people were called in to check the crew's bills.
Liang Ping just doesn't want to be a kid right now. He will wait until the movie is finished and he has time and energy to play with them. But not now, he wants to spend all his energy on making the movie.
Then the money must be received as soon as possible.
Lu Lu thought for a while and said, "Don't talk about this, it will make you lose face. In this case, wherever your crew is holding a big scene, I will ask the boss to come and have a look, and I will find a way to get him to pay you the money on the way."
Liang Ping: "Mr. Lu! You are my reincarnated parents!"
