China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

After finally finishing their work, the two sat down again and then officially talked about the college entrance examination movie.

Nowadays, Lu Ping An has only three requirements for making a film: one that has the potential to win awards, one that has social significance, and one that has a high box office.

The subject matter of the college entrance examination is obviously in line with the "social significance" aspect.

As for the script, the two have talked about it many times over the past year, and now the draft has basically been finalized.

The template is Neon's "Bottom Hot Girl."

Of course, Neon’s national conditions are different from those of our country, and the college entrance examination mechanism is also different.

So it has to be changed.

First of all, the identity of the protagonist.

"Hot girl" definitely doesn't work in China and is not down to earth.

So this time Lu Ping An appropriately added the element of killing Matt.

Just like in the original film, hot girls represent bad students, and Shamut also represents this type of students.

Shamat was still popular during this period, and it would take about 13 years for it to completely die out.

And when it comes to killing Matt, it can't all be criticism.

For a good inspirational movie, the director himself must abandon some prejudices.

Then we need to dig out the shining points of human nature from all kinds of characters.

But it can’t be too much, and it can’t go in the direction of “I have tattoos, smoke, drink, and have abortions, but I’m still a good girl.”

We need to find out why she became a hot girl. After becoming a hot girl, does she lose the right to become a good student and fight for her own life?

of course not.

As long as you are willing to change and put in the effort and persistence.

So where there is a will, there is a way.

Very chicken soup.

But it is useful for college entrance examination students and people who are really at a trough.

So the protagonist is a confused, misguided, little Shamate who has no ambition and just follows the crowd.

So do her friends, but the brilliance of the original's fairy friends can be retained in the film.

Seeing the protagonist's efforts, the friends do not hold back and encourage them in a warm way. It can even be the other way around, with the protagonist helping the friends to complete the changes.

Except "Hot Girl" needs to be changed.

The college entrance examination mechanisms in the two countries are also different.

The content of the original version of "Bottom Hot Girls" involving exams was definitely not immersive for domestic students.

In addition, the original version did not depict much about the plot of struggling to get into college.

When I watched the original film, I wondered why in the first hour or so of the film, the protagonist was still far away from his target university, but then he suddenly got admitted.

This definitely won't work.

Therefore, this edition must include various study methods for exam preparation, such as writing test questions.

This section must be focused on characterization, and the audience must know what kind of efforts you have to make if you want to hit that unreachable goal.

In this way, the theme of "counterattack" can also be highlighted.

If a counterattack can be successful casually, then there is no counterattack at all.

At the same time, another theme should also be highlighted: studying is not a way out, nor is studying hard, learning is.

This is the role of a good teacher in the film.

With this theme, the film will be more in line with the national conditions, and the overall quality of the film will be improved to a higher level.

other aspects.

This film does not involve issues such as campus violence and love.

Issues of wealth, poverty and gender will be addressed appropriately.

The poverty and patriarchy of this period can still be written about.

"Bottom Hotties" touches on this as well.

As for the prototype character, it can be used in publicity, but it will not be explicitly stated that it is Lin Xiaofang from Wenchuan Senior High School.

This is to increase the authenticity of the film while protecting Lin Xiaofang’s privacy.

So in general, the whole film focuses not on the protagonist herself, but on the students and other similar people she represents who are at a trough, having no direction and getting by.

The film is simply an inspirational counterattack story that depicts someone's transformation from decadence to self-discipline and affects those around him.

The college entrance examination, isn't it?

It is currently the fairest advancement path.

Under such a general tone.

Wealth, status, origin, appearance, etc. are not important.

After watching the movie, fans only need to get the signal of "strive to become a better version of yourself".

The second step is to pay attention to other information such as actors and prototype characters.

"In this way, the film is purely inspirational, without any in-depth issues."

Guorong expressed his opinion.

Lu Ping'an spread his hands: "Youth inspirational movies don't necessarily have to involve fights, abortions, and car accidents, and people are killed. It can be as simple as bringing everyone a bowl of chicken soup. I think that's enough."

“Isn’t it too utopian?”

"It doesn't matter. Our main target audience is high school students. I don't care about anything else."

Lu Pingan went on to talk about the idea of ​​releasing the movie, "In addition to theaters, it can also be screened in schools, with priority given to those in difficult areas."

"That's a good idea."

Guorong praised it.

He knew that Lu Ping'an was the only one in the country who did this without getting scolded.

After all, no one can be better than him, not even Lao Mouzi.

If Lu Pingan really wants to hit the box office, it won't rely on movies like this.

So since the purpose is to give back to society, then just do it right.

Speaking of this, Guorong mentioned schools where free screenings are available. In addition to the schools built by his own Guorong Fund, Guorong also mentioned a high school in Lijiang, Yunnan.

"It's a public high school that only accepts female students."

Guorong spoke eloquently.

Lu Ping'an also realized immediately that Guorong was talking about Lijiang Huaping Girls' Senior High School.

Guorong continued: "When the movie is finished, if the school is still there, it can be sent to the students there to watch it, to give them some confidence."

Guorong was a little embarrassed.

He went on to talk about the school.

At this time, the girls' school had just been established for less than a year.

The first batch of students will not take the college entrance examination until 2011.

The situation in the school is not very good at the moment.

We have recruited 100 students, but their basic skills are extremely poor. Many students even have to start over from elementary school knowledge.

In Guorong's words, if the school's performance is not good in the future, the school may not be able to continue to operate.

But Lu Pingan knew that after this school experienced initial setbacks, it later achieved a comprehensive college entrance examination pass rate of 100% for more than ten consecutive years.

This achievement is actually not difficult to say.

The comprehensive admission rate includes those from vocational colleges, and you can pass the college entrance examination with a score of more than 200.

But you must know that even in key high schools in economically developed cities, many may not be able to be 100% online.

What's more, this is a girls' high school in the mountains.

The quality of students is vastly different from that of ordinary high schools, and at the same time they are faced with various problems other than learning.

Principal Zhang Guimei can indeed be called great for being able to achieve this.

Of course, Principal Zhang Guimei's deeds are indeed magical, but at first glance, it should be said that there are not a few people who question this.

In a society that is impetuous and morally corrupt, people with such lofty beliefs are sometimes the outliers.

Lu Ping'an had also wondered whether this person was packaged.

After all, the boss always likes to do this kind of thing sometimes.

Speaking of this, Guorong couldn't help but suggest: "If this school can successfully move in the future, I will be very interested in helping her make a movie."

Lu Ping'an remembered "I am a mountain" as soon as he heard it.

This movie is terrible.

But from another perspective, it is because of the various outrageous operations in this movie that more people understand the truth.

So this is not intentional?

Shaking his head, no matter how much he said, he would be whitewashing the film crew, and it would be a sin.

"Since you said so, then this school can definitely be opened."

"Haha, I think so too."

Guorong laughed and then asked: "Do you want to go and see it?"

"Forget it, let's do it next time." (End of Chapter)
