Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Um?

After hearing this, several people looked at the direction together.

Zhang Yang smiled coquettishly: "Hey, you have nothing to do."

It turns out that since Zhang Yang won the award last year for starring in the short film "Oldboy" produced by Meimei, he has always wanted to be electrocuted again.

However, he doesn't know the directors in the film and television industry, and he can't hide his face when asking for help. Today he heard that the famous director Lu Yongru wanted to use the song "Red Ling" written by Yu Dongqing as the theme song, and he thought this was an opportunity.

"The requirements are not too high, just give me a supporting role, but it can't be an extra act that doesn't have a line and just burps when it comes to it." Zhang Yang requested.

this?

"Okay, I'll call Director Lu and ask, if it doesn't work, don't blame me." Yu Dongqing agreed.

"Of course, of course."

Yu Dongqing didn't hesitate, walked aside and picked up her cell phone to call Lu Yongru.

Lu Yongru was a little surprised when he received the call: "What? Your friend wants to come over and play a role? Which art school did he graduate from?"

"He has never studied acting. He and I both went to Yancheng Normal University." Yu Dongqing was a little embarrassed, but had to continue: "Although he has never studied acting, he is very talented in acting. The short film he made last year He played the leading role in "Oldboy" and won the Best Actor Award!"

After that, Yu Dongqing boasted about Zhang Yang, saying that he was a self-taught actor who was delayed by singing and doing business.

I don't know whether it was because he won a small award or because he was embarrassed to discredit Yu Dongqing. Lu Yongru on the other end of the phone thought for a moment and then asked: "What does your friend look like?"

"He is of medium height, but rather fat." Yu Dongqing looked at Zhang Yang and described.

"Well, I still have a Japanese translator role here that hasn't been fully decided yet. Do you want your friend to give it a try?"

"I can state that this is a villain, but there are not many scenes." Lu Yongru said at last.

A Japanese translator?

When Yu Dongqing heard this, he immediately thought of a fat man wearing an imperial army hat and nodding his head while holding a shell gun.

"Okay, I told him that if he agrees, let him audition with you." Yu Dongqing said.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Dongqing had nothing to hide and told Zhang Yang exactly what Lu Yongru said.

Damn it!

Are you playing a traitor and lackey? !

Zhang Yang was dumbfounded.

"Forget it, Zhang Yang, why bother yourself?" Liu Yimin advised kindly.

Yu Dongqing also felt that something was wrong, so he asked Zhang Yang to wait and see if there would be a more suitable role in the future.

"Aren't you planning to make a movie? You asked me to write a script. How about I write a role in the script that is suitable for you to play?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang said: "Go, why don't you go? I am also dedicating myself to art. And Dongqing, you have agreed that you will write a special role for me in the bright drama!"

Damn it!

Why does this guy really want to switch careers and make movies?

Yu Dongqing and the others looked at each other.

"Don't look at me like that, I just think it's fun. In life, you have to have various experiences, and filming is one of them." Zhang Yang said slowly.

In this case, Yu Dongqing didn't say anything, and called Lu Yongru to tell them the situation. He also told them each other's phone numbers and asked them to contact them directly.

"I can only help you with this matter. As for whether you can succeed in the audition, it's up to you." Yu Dongqing reminded.

"Don't worry, I feel like I'm okay." Zhang Yang was quite confident.

I don’t know where he got the courage from?

Even after this incident was over, everyone started having barbecue and drinking beer, and played until about five o'clock in the afternoon before driving home.

The next day, Zhang Yang contacted Lu Yongru and went to the crew to audition in person. Unexpectedly, he succeeded!

In a group of four people, Zhang Yang reported the results immediately for the first time, and he was very proud beyond words.

The other three could only wish: the best actor and best supporting actor of the year was born!

Just teasing of course.

However, I don’t know how this matter got known to Meiliang. This weekend, Yu Dongqing went to her father-in-law’s house in Houhai to pick up her daughter as usual. Meiliang also came back from school and asked, “Brother Zhang Yang wants to make a movie?”

"Yes." Yu Dongqing briefly explained the process.

"Also, Zhang Yang said that he would add a role to the script I wrote for you." After Yu Dongqing finished speaking, he saw Meimei stretch out his delicate hand: "Bring it here!"

"What to bring?"

"Script"

"It's been two months and you haven't written a single word!"

Oops

Indeed.

It’s always one push and two push.

Yu Dongqing felt a little embarrassed.

"Are you in a hurry?! Don't you have more than a year to graduate?" Yu Dongqing was a little confused.

The Chinese Opera Directing major is a five-year program, and Meimei made this film as her graduation thesis.

This is usually only done by graduates with a master's degree. This summer, she worked as a director's assistant with her mentor Zhang Wenqing to make a movie. Zhang Wenqing thought she was very capable, and the micro-film she shot last year also won an award, so he encouraged her to make a movie independently.

So Meili asked Yu Dongqing to be a screenwriter.

After listening to Yu Dongqing's words, Meili explained: "More than a year goes by very quickly. Filmmaking is very time-consuming. I have to keep improving!"

"Okay, I'll think about it seriously these days and try to write it out for you as soon as possible!" Yu Dongqing agreed.

"You must keep your word!"

"Hey, it seems like I have no credibility."

"My credibility is not high in this matter," the girl said.

I￥%￥%……

Now that he decided to write the script, Yu Dongqing no longer put it off. Of course he sent his daughter home. After her daughter went to bed, she went to the study and turned on the computer to start thinking.

In the original time and space, the song "Rukawa Kaede and Kurai Sora" was an IP, and was eventually adapted into a web drama called "Rukawa Kaede Next Door to the School Beauty".

It's just a youth campus comedy that takes campus life as the main line and interprets the love story between students, using the two major selling points of youthful nostalgia and comedy.

Moreover, the Heisa band finally performed the song with great enthusiasm, but the response was mediocre.

There are many songs that have been expanded into movies as IP, such as "My Deskmate", "Writing Poems for You", "Gardenia Blossoms", and the songs "Brothers Sleeping on the Top Bunk", "About Winter", etc. .

The songs are all classics, but the adaptation into a movie not only fails to replicate the classics of the original songs, but each one falls into disrepair without stirring up a splash.

In addition to factors such as the director and actors, another very important reason is that the lyrics of a song are too thin to support a 120-minute movie.

For example, "My Deskmate" is mainly about the content of the song sung by Gao Xiaosong, which expounds the nostalgia for the friendship and love of the deskmate during the youth.

Among them, the touching lyrics "Tomorrow will you remember the diary you wrote today" have become a popular classic song for generations, and have also become the emotional standard of a generation.

When the film of the same name was created, it was deeply restricted by the content of the song, and could only be created within a certain range to express the recollection of the campus days in the ignorant period.

It uses the young love between the male and female protagonists to try to resonate with the audience. However, it lacks a certain degree of innovation in content. Many viewers can guess the ending from the beginning. Even the "Easter eggs" and "stalks" in the play lack a certain amount of suspense. .

The song "Rukawa Kaede and Kurai Sora" also faces the same problem.

As for the original time and space editor who found a new way to make it a hilarious drama, Yu Dongqing seems to have failed even more, even the slight youthfulness of the song was lost.

After thinking for a long time, Yu Dongqing decided to learn from the content of another youth film "To Our Fading Youth". This film was relatively well-made and has won many awards at home and abroad.

Writing a script is also troublesome. Fortunately, Yu Dongqing once wrote the script in that time and space, and it is not difficult now that there is ready-made content.

It took Yu Dongqing two full days to complete the script of this movie. After revising it several times, Yu Dongqing always felt that he was not very satisfied.

Youth movies are difficult to make and can easily fall into clichés.

This is Mingliang's debut work, so don't be anxious and take it seriously.

Thanks to Xicheng Xue Erlang for the reward, thanks to Xiaobo 370, huwei456, Shuyou 20170518002624579, Shuyou 120803145044566, 1231234567, and sadly forgot the password header for the monthly pass
