My singer girlfriend is super fierce

Zhao Jinglun was very happy that Ye Zhiqiu agreed to act.

In fact, with his current status and appeal in the industry, it is not too easy to find a young actor.

Especially for this kind of main theme film, basically no one will refuse, and they are willing to act even without money.

It is the same for directors. As long as there are people, there are rivers and lakes, even shooting main theme films is no exception.

A movie, four big directors each responsible for a short story film, on the surface they are co-directing and strong combination, but secretly comparing with each other is inevitable.

Everyone is a well-known figure, no one wants their short film to be compared in such an occasion, so they are all working hard.

But Zhao Jinglun still thought of Ye Zhiqiu at the first time, not for anything else, but because of his popularity and appeal among the audience.

"There is one more thing." Zhao Jinglun said: "The crew will soon release a message to the whole country to collect the theme song of this film."

"It's a good opportunity. If you are interested, you can pay attention to it then."

"Okay." Ye Zhiqiu thought about it and agreed casually.

Regarding the main melody songs, he has a lot of "inventory" in his mind, and it would be fine to write one if it is suitable.

"Okay." Zhao Jinglun said: "I will say hello to the relevant personnel later and let them contact you."

For Ye Zhiqiu, who has a ceiling-level status in the Chinese music scene, if he wants to submit a work, there will naturally be a special person to receive him.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded and made a preliminary decision. The two did not continue on this topic and talked about the issue of "No Man's Land".

Early the next morning, Zhao Jinglun found Ye Zhiqiu.

"I watched the first part several times last night." Zhao Jinglun didn't say there was any problem, but said: "If I'm not mistaken, the filming techniques at the beginning of the film, as well as the deliberately created coarse grain, should be borrowed from classic westerns such as "No Country for Old Men" and "U-Turn" elements?"

"Yes." Ye Zhiqiu did not deny it.

"But did you notice?" Zhao Jinglun looked strange and continued: "After the protagonist left the town and entered the no-man's land, the shooting style has changed slightly."

"Or, the taste of the "Western" at the beginning has become increasingly diluted."

Ye Zhiqiu recalled for a while and nodded: "Indeed."

"The main thing is... I feel that some places may be handled in a different way, but I'm not sure if it will be better."

"The problem should be here."

Zhao Jinglun said: "You are very mature in the use of various shooting techniques, but you have too many ideas, and in the end you don't know which technique to use."

"You are a screenwriter yourself , words are your strong point, but sometimes words can also become your obstacle. ”

“For example, at the beginning of the film, you used the technique of ‘voice-over’, and through the narration of the protagonist, set off the atmosphere at the beginning of the story. But in the film, the narration language is sometimes superficial, and it will become a narrative obstacle, and it seems that the director does not know how to tell a story with pictures. ”

“You may have noticed similar problems yourself, so you want to change subconsciously, but the previous cognition cannot be changed all at once, which will cause yourself to be more ‘entangled’. ”

Ye Zhiqiu listened carefully, and as Zhao Jinglun analyzed it in detail, he felt that he seemed to have grasped something vaguely.

"Finally, my personal opinion."

Zhao Jinglun continued: "In fact, as the art of film has developed to this day, no one can say that the techniques used in my film have never been used by anyone. Therefore, the responsibility of each director is to choose or arrange a method and style that is most suitable for expressing your content among the existing films."

"As long as the task of 'desired effect' is completed, it is a good film and a good director."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jinglun smiled and said: "Besides, this is your first film as a director. You don't need to put so much psychological pressure on yourself. Just shoot it according to your own ideas."

......

After Zhao Jinglun and his group left, Ye Zhiqiu gave the crew a day off and began to "retreat".

In the room, he watched the scenes shot in the early stage over and over again. As time went by, the mess in his heart gradually became clear.

His previous works were all very successful, so he would compare the box office expectations of "No Man's Land" with those of his previous works, but this also put him under great psychological pressure.

"No Man's Land" was indeed a success in his previous life, so he did not make any changes when filming.

But at the same time, to some extent,Wei was also imprisoned. When he felt that a certain scene could be handled in a different way, or perhaps better, he fell into hesitation.

Zhao Jinglun woke him up with one word.

Yes! This is the first movie he directed. Why do you worry so much?

If all the scenes in memory are copied without personal color, what difference does it make whether you are a director or not?

At worst, the box office will be a failure.

To be more crazy, with his current worth, a small production of 30 million can really afford to lose money...

After thinking this through, Ye Zhiqiu seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians, and his thoughts became clear all of a sudden.

Then, he wrote furiously - to change the script!

The first step is to delete the opening voiceover that seems to point out the theme, but from the audience's perspective, it is redundant and pretentious.

Sometimes, you don't have to say what the film wants to express, just let the audience watch it.

After modifying some lines and pictures, the film is more refined. Fortunately, there are not many adjustments in the front, and it can be re-shot when the time comes.

Ye Zhiqiu also adjusted the role of "prostitute" played by Li Wenwen.

He felt that in the original film, although this role had highlights, compared with the two extreme roles of the black shop owner and the black shop boss lady, who had even fewer scenes, the role attributes were simply weak to the extreme.

In short, after the stunning appearance, she became a "tool man" to promote the plot.

The original ending was that only the "prostitute" survived. At the end of the film, she returned to civilized society and found a job that met her dreams.

In the dance room penetrated by the sun, children in gauze skirts surrounded her and called her teacher, and the film ended in a warm atmosphere.

But from the perspective of the film, this ending is actually a bit abrupt.

In fact, reality will not show a gentle side because of the suffering a person has suffered. More often, it will be cruel to the end.

It took Ye Zhiqiu a whole day to revise the script, and then he called Li Wenwen.

"Come in!"

"I'll give you more scenes!"
