In the conference room, Tan Yue watched the screenwriters discussing the script, took the hot water handed over by Chen Ye, took a sip, and said to Chen Ye: "Xiao Ye, go and notify Zhou Can and ask him to come over."
Zhou Can is the star of "Kung Fu". To have a deeper understanding of this movie, it is not necessarily good for him to be in seclusion alone to build a car. Now this scene of everyone discussing together can easily increase his understanding of the script, which is perfect for Zhou Can. Chan also came over to listen together.
Chen Ye nodded, stood up and walked out of the conference room to inform Zhou Can.
Tan Yue was not in a hurry. He was drinking tea and listening to the discussion of the screenwriters. If anyone didn't understand a part of the plot or was unclear about what he just said, they could ask him.
Three or four minutes later, the door of the conference room was pushed open again, and Chen Ye came in with Zhou Can.
Some screenwriters also said hello to Zhou Can.
If Zhou Can was a little-known little character before, then after starring in "The King of Comedy", Zhou Can can be said to have become famous.
He immediately became a first-line actor and gained a lot of attention in the company.
Nowadays, the number of artists in Cuican Entertainment Company is very large. In second-rate entertainment companies, the status of second-tier artists is already very high. In third-rate entertainment companies, second-tier artists are even composed of one brother and one sister.
Even in Tianjing Entertainment Company and Guangmei Entertainment Company, which are both first-class entertainment companies, second-tier artists are more valued, but it is different in Bright Entertainment Company.
Cuican Entertainment naturally attaches great importance to and cultivates second-tier artists, but in the company, ordinary second-tier talents cannot emerge at all, and the limelight is stolen by the first-tier artists.
In the past few years, a large number of actors in the Bright Entertainment Company have become extremely popular.
Zhou Can has also played some good roles in the past, such as Yan Xiaoliu in "Wulin Gaiden". He is also somewhat famous and has fans online, but he is really not outstanding in the company.
It was not until "The King of Comedy" was released that Zhou Can became an instant hit and officially entered the field of vision of many people.
"Mr. Tan." Zhou Can walked up to Tan Yue and bent slightly to greet Tan Yue.
Tan Yue hummed, pointed to the chair next to him, and said, "Sit down."
"Okay." Zhou Can said with a smile.
After Zhou Can came in, many screenwriters around him were paying attention to him. Seeing Zhou Can's dog-legged appearance, many people couldn't help laughing.
The reason for laughing is not because of how Zhou Can pleases Tan Yue, but because of the energy Zhou Can reveals.
In the past, before "The King of Comedy" came out, everyone would subconsciously shake their heads when they saw Zhou Can's style, thinking that this kind of performance was too exaggerated. But now with the huge success of "The King of Comedy", everyone is shaking their heads. Suddenly I discovered that this so-called nonsensical comedy style also has a wide film market.
So after watching it again, I just think Zhou Can is very funny and interesting.
Some people suddenly realized that Zhou Can's nonsensical comedy style was really unique, because it was not performed by him at all, but he himself was such a person.
So he can easily make nonsense and "The King of Comedy" well. Now many entertainment companies in the industry want to follow suit and make similar movies, but can they make it well? The screenwriters didn't dare to say it before, but now they are all sure that it must not be filmed well.
The nonsensical comedy style proposed by Mr. Tan can be performed naturally by some people but can be performed by others. How can the effect be the same?
"Listen more. Everyone is discussing "Kung Fu" and think about how to perform it in the future." Tan Yue said after Zhou Can sat down.
Zhou Can nodded.
Chen Ye picked up Tan Yue's teacup, went to get a cup of hot water for Tan Yue, and replaced it with new tea leaves.
It's really eye-catching. Beauty with such temperament as Chen Ye is rare in the entertainment industry.
Tan Yue took the tea cup and put it on the table. He stood up and walked around the conference room twice. The writers could ask him any questions they had.
More than twenty minutes passed.
The discussion in the conference room gradually came to an end. Tan Yue clapped his hands and everyone looked over.
"Everyone, please stop for a moment. I will continue where I just mentioned." Tan Yue said.
Zhou Can sat upright and listened carefully to Tan Yue's words. He now wanted to seize the opportunity and work hard to move forward.
There are countless people in the entertainment industry today who want to play a supporting role in Mr. Tan's movies but have no chance. However, he can play the leading role in Mr. Tan's movies twice in a row. If you don't seize this huge opportunity, what will happen? He is really stupid, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was struck by lightning.
Tan Yue looked at the manuscript he had just compiled and began to speak.
"The development of the entire story of "Kung Fu" can be divided into two processes, which also reflects the transformation of the protagonist A Xing."
"The first process is to turn from good to evil. When the protagonist A Xing was very young, he also had a martial arts dream of punishing evil and promoting good and maintaining world peace. To this end, he did not hesitate to spend all his belongings and buy a beggar from a beggar with ten yuan. I bought a copy of "The Palm of the Tathagata" there. At this time, the young Ah Xing has a warm and kind heart. In order to realize his martial arts dream, he is obsessed with practicing martial arts, hoping that one day he can show off his skills and carry forward the kindness in his heart."
"One day, Axing encountered a group of gangsters who were bullying a mute girl. They took away the girl's lollipop."
Chen Ye sat aside and looked at Tan Yue who was talking eloquently. She had also read the script of "Kung Fu" and could understand what Tan Yue was talking about. She thought to herself that the quality of this lollipop was really good. She had passed the rest. It hasn’t melted away in decades.
Naturally, Tan Yue didn't know what Chen Ye was thinking, and continued: "The kind-hearted A Xing only had simple thoughts in his heart, and used the martial arts he learned to save this girl. When he was young, he felt ignorant of his own power, and finally , Facing the absolute power of the older children, Azing was defeated."
"The defeated Ah Xing was humiliated by the gangsters. Even the book "The Palm of the Tathagata" bought for ten dollars was just a printed copy sold for two cents. The weak Ah Xing tried to punish evil and promote good. Dreams were wiped out by the evil of the gangsters. Not only could kindness not help Ah Xing get what he wanted, but he would also lose his own dignity. From this moment on, Ah Xing changed. He understood that good people are not rewarded. He wants to be a bad guy. This is where the flower of evil blooms.”
"From this moment on, Ah Xing changed. He understood that good people are not rewarded, and he wanted to be a bad person. The flower of evil bloomed from this."
"Actually, A Xing's kindness is not useless. He did not expect that his act of justice made a girl feel his bravery and kindness. The girl thanked him in sign language and wanted to give him this lollipop, but he didn't Accepted, the lollipop was kept by the girl, and became a symbol of Ah Xing’s kindness and an opportunity to awaken the kindness in Ah Xing’s heart in the future.”
Zhou Can listened very carefully. Ever since he learned the general plot outline of "Kung Fu" from Tan Yue, Zhou Can has been thinking about how to thoroughly understand the movie "Kung Fu", but thinking hard by himself is not as good as others. Transparent and quick to understand.
Not just Tan Yue, many people are thinking deeply.
In terms of professionalism as a screenwriter, Tan Yue may not be as good as many people present, but when it comes to thinking deeply about "Kung Fu", Tan Yue is at the forefront.
Tan Yue said in an unhurried voice:
"Thus, A Xing completed the transformation from good to evil. The reason for this transformation is worth pondering. A Xing's transformation is due to social violence, as well as the disillusionment of personal ideals of punishing evil and promoting good under violence, and his belief in truth, goodness and beauty. Distortion, for an idealist, such a blow is huge. These factors can change Ah Xing, turning him from a kind person into a person who does not believe in kindness at all and believes that only evil and violence can achieve his goals. people."
"But in the comedic presentation of our film, Ah Xing's evil deeds are not obvious. From the beginning to the end of the film, Ah Xing has never done anything that hurts human ethics. The destruction of public property is He has done a lot. In other words, Ah Xing's evil has not penetrated deep into his bones. He only talks about it to avoid the distortion of his own beliefs. The kindness in his heart has not been annihilated."
"This leads to the question, is human nature inherently evil or human nature is good? In the drama "Kung Fu", I agree that human nature is inherently good, but as people grow up, such a kind of kindness is buried, so what is buried? Whether this kind of kindness is campus violence or social beatings, how to change such a situation is a question that our society needs to think about. If human nature is inherently evil, that would be a different situation."
Many people in the conference room were taking notes, not just the summary, but almost everything Tan Yue said was written down.
Tan Yuedao: "The first half of the movie "Kung Fu" tells such a story. Let's think about it. If you have any questions, you can raise them and we can discuss them together."
After Tan Yue finished speaking, he gave time for everyone to think together.
Seeing Zhou Can and the screenwriters thinking seriously, Tan Yue thought about whether to call Liu Qian and Zhou Yue over to listen together.
But I quickly gave up this idea, because the final candidates for the actors have not yet been decided, and it is always inappropriate to call these people over suddenly.
What if they are not suitable in the future? Or how to choose if there are actors who are more suitable to play the corresponding role?
Time passed by minute by minute.
Half an hour later, when everyone had almost finished the discussion, Tan Yue began to continue talking.
"Next, let's talk about the core of the story in the next phase of this movie. The previous phase was the transformation of the protagonist A Xing from good to evil, so this second phase is the transformation of A Xing from evil to good. It can also be said that It’s the return of goodness.”
"After some things, Ah Xing embarked on the road of becoming a gangster, bullying children, robbing, and doing some petty thieves. In the end, because he pretended to be an Ax Gang in the Pig Cage Walled City and tried to extort "Jiang Bao", the Pig Cage City Zhai, a peaceful poor community, got into trouble with the evil force known as the Ax Gang."
"In the end, with the joint efforts of three hidden masters, the Pig Cage Walled City was shown to be out of danger. Ah Xing was also caught for pretending to be an Ax Gang, but was let go because he was good at picking locks, and lived on the streets, but met the grown-up The mute girl behind."
Everyone pricked up their ears. From the script of "Kung Fu" they just saw, we can know that this is a movie with the male protagonist as the main story line, but it does not mean that the importance of the female protagonist is weakened. He doesn't have many appearances, but he is also extremely important.
It is precisely because the heroine has fewer scenes that it is more difficult for everyone to understand the story line of the mute girl.
Now when I hear Tan Yue talking about mute women, he sounds serious.
"The two of them took two ice creams from the mute girl without paying, but the mute girl had already recognized him as the little boy who saved her. The mute girl wanted to chase him back, not for the money for the ice cream, but for the money. Tell him that she still remembers him and his bravery and kindness that he risked his life to save her."
"After the Ax Gang was repulsed by three masters, the Ax Gang invited Brother Qin Mo, who ranked first on the killer list. All three masters died at their hands. In the end, the charterer and the charterer had to break the rules that no longer showed martial arts. The poisonous oath drove the Qin Demon brothers crazy, and the Ax Gang’s revenge against the Pig Cage Walled City was temporarily over.”
"On the other side, Axing and Fatty, who were humiliated by the man with gold-rimmed glasses, felt very annoyed after being kicked out of the car. They had always wanted to do bad things but failed for various reasons. The reason is that they both It is difficult for a kind-hearted person to actually kill someone. He is forced to act as a bad person just to survive or to escape himself."
"A Xing took all this to the fat boy next to him. When he wanted to get the fat boy's affirmation of his evil, he was firmly denied by the fat boy. Compared with Ah Xing, the silent fat boy may be more I can see Ah Xing’s kindness, but Ah Xing doesn’t want to admit it.”
"In order to prove his ability to be evil, A Xing set his sights on the mute girl who was setting up a stall on the street. He went to rob the mute girl of her money, but when he put the knife in front of the mute girl, he saw the mute girl's tears and his heart softened. The kindness and sense of justice in his heart will not allow him to be a bully."
The screenwriters listened carefully, flipping through the scripts and referring to Tan Yue's explanations, and their understanding of "Kung Fu" became deeper and deeper.
This is what Tan Yue is happy to see, because only in this way can these screenwriters write the shots of "Kung Fu" better and more accurately, and polish the plot more roundly.
"The fat boy discovered the money hidden by the mute girl, and the stubborn Axing just wanted to complete the robbery quickly to prove himself."
"Axing didn't expect that this mute girl was actually the girl he rescued from gangsters more than ten years ago. During the robbery, with the anxious sign language expression of the mute girl and the box of lollipops containing Axing's kindness, Opening it, Ah Xing looked at the girl in front of him and remembered the past many years ago, a time engraved with eternal kindness, and the dust on it was being brushed away little by little."
Tan Yue spoke in great detail, because he needed the screenwriters to be good at writing every shot of the script, which would save him from having to slowly revise these shots little by little, so that it could be done once and for all. This time he explained it in detail and clearly. , the screenwriters will make fewer mistakes.
