You Made Me a Superstar - Chapter 454
Chapter 454 Fear
“A generation of heroes, Li Mubai, had the intention of withdrawing from the arena, and entrusted her confidante Yu Xiulian to bring her Qingming sword to the capital as a gift for Lord Baylor’s collection. Li Mubai’s move to retire from the arena actually caused more grievances in the arena… ”
In the conference room.
Shen Changwei looked at the outline of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” seriously.
The more I look at it, the more amazed it becomes. The more I look at it, the more transparent it becomes.
The failure of “Hero” in Berlin made him feel lost for a while.
After losing , I once calmed down and thought about the reason for the failure of “Hero”, but after thinking about it for a long time, I was stunned to understand the reason.
After all, he is a native of China. Although he has received a Western-style education and stayed abroad for a long time, his inner cognition and education come from China. Although he tried his best to promote the film to the world when he was making a movie, In a sense, there is an idea of catering to the international community, but it is not completely.
The appearance of the film outline of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” made Shen Changwei ponder clearly and chaotic thinking began to become clear instantly.
When he reviewed “Heroes” again, all the problems that he couldn’t figure out before suddenly became clear!
As some Berlin audiences commented, the audience did not understand the feelings of the country and the martial arts. They only knew that the movie was gorgeous and cool. Art, but not many people really talk about art in depth, talking about the core of the film and the deep things they want to show the audience through this film.
The main line of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” is too straightforward, and even the various cases and dialogues that appear in the script outline are extraordinarily straightforward.
It just firmly caught the eyes of Westerners, as if the outline of this script was tailored for Westerners. The Platonic love, Shakespeare-style dialogue, and lofty humanistic realm all fit the so-called Western intellectuals. The key point of the film, besides that, the whole movie outline is about “freedom” and “revenge”. “Dare to love, dare to hate” and “extremely straightforward dialogue” is another stab at the ordinary American people, really pulling out the outline, and found that one of the lines has a cool text similar to “The Count of Monte Cristo” template.
“Is this movie…or a Chinese martial arts movie? This is an art movie to coax foreigners to watch?”
Shen Changwei fell into deep thought for a long time after watching the movie. When he figured something out again, he suddenly muttered to himself.
Wang Shuai next to him also read the script of “Infernal Affairs 2”, and after hearing Shen Changwei’s muttering, he also picked up the script outline of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” and read it.
After reading…
Wang Shuai’s face flashed for a while, then he compared the two books a little, and after recalling the past movies Zhou Yang had made, a wry smile appeared on his face.
“It’s a monster!”
It stands to reason that every screenwriter, no matter what themes are written, you can find more or less the common points of these themes. This is the characteristic that every screenwriter has.
but…
From “The Bottom of the Mine”, to “Infernal Affairs”, and even to “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.
is written by the same person.
However, Wang Shuai found that each of these scripts seemed to be written by different people, and there was no trace of the same screenwriter at all.
How could one person write such a script?
Unless it’s schizophrenia, or…
monster!
The conference room was quiet again.
Because it is quiet, it is easier to hear the noise outside. Zhou Yang seems to be in contact with every new director.
Talk to them about some of the films they have made, about their experiences, and about the future with them…
After more than an hour, Zhou Yang pushed the door open again and came in. Shen Changwei and Wang Shuai looked at Zhou Yang with a thick stack of books in his hands, and their eyes seemed to be contemplating something.
“Xiao Zhou, shouldn’t you be, do you want to wholesale scripts?” Wang Shuai teased Zhou Yang.
However, he found that Zhou Yang did not respond, and he didn’t even see the two of them. He just sat in the main seat. He didn’t write it like the outline of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, but tapped the computer keyboard on his own. .
is very much like Zhou Yang was immersed in the character when he was filming “The Crow” and became a different person.
The two looked at each other, but did not leave. Instead, they watched the keyboard in Zhou Yang’s hand typing faster and faster, and even his fingers made afterimages.
“Two directors, why don’t you just… do it yourself? Director Zhou is in the middle of his creation, that’s how stunned he is…”
Outside the house, the door opened.
Xu Mei walked in, hesitated after seeing Wang Shuai and Shen Changwei, and whispered these words to the two of them.
Wang Shuai nodded, indicating to leave, stood up to leave, but was stopped by Shen Changwei.
“I want to see what script he will write next…”
After Shen Changwei said these words softly, Wang Shuai nodded, his eyes couldn’t hide his curiosity, and finally sat back on the chair.
“Then I’ll prepare lunch for the two directors…”
Xu Mei nodded after seeing that both of them were in this battle, and didn’t say anything, just turned and left.
More than half an hour later…
Xu Mei came to the conference room with three lunch boxes. When the lunch box was placed next to Zhou Yang, she saw Zhou Yang recover from typing on the keyboard, but her eyes were fixed on the computer screen. While eating, she fell into deep thought. Put down the lunch box, write something by hand, and scribble it.
Shen Changwei and Wang Shuai just stared at Zhou Yang for five hours. When they sat down and felt uncomfortable, they finally saw Zhou Yang let out a long sigh of relief and touched his eyes tiredly.
then looked at Shen Changwei and Wang Shuai in shock: “Director Shen, Director Wang, you guys… Are you still there?”
“Xiao Zhou, you only gave me a script outline for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and wanted to send me away? Could you give me a slightly more detailed outline of the script?”
Shen Changwei looked at Zhou Yang’s shocked appearance, and he couldn’t help laughing.
“Ah… I forgot, Director Shen, the general outline of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” is like this, but there are many details that need to be slightly changed… So, I will give you the entire outline of the book in two days?” After Zhou Yang looked at Shen Changwei, he slapped his head abruptly, suddenly realizing it, and then glanced at Shen Changwei embarrassedly.
“Well…other than “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” and “Infernal Affairs 2″, what other books have you written?”
“Uh, there are only two books for now, one is “Crazy Stone” and the other is “Eavesdropping”. I just finished writing the outlines of these two books. Well, I have to talk to a few young directors outside the house. I Looking at their shooting intentions, they are roughly these types, and they should not be wrong…”
“Xiao Zhou, you’re crazy, do you really plan to fight against the box office of Chinese movies alone?” When Wang Shuai saw Zhou Yang say these words, he was instantly horrified and suddenly stood up from his chair.
He finally realized that today Zhou Yang suddenly called them to Huaxing and gave them the script to do what!
only…
The more I think about it, the more creepy I feel, the more I think about it, the more incredible it becomes.
When Zhou Yang saw Wang Shuai’s horrified expression, he just showed a somewhat embarrassed smile on his face: “I didn’t think so, but I just wanted to fill the 90,000 box office of other directors… If it goes well, “The Master”, ” Infernal Affairs 2″, “Eavesdropping”, “Crazy Stone”, it should be enough…”
“God! Are you sure that these script outlines you wrote, each script is a small blockbuster that can break through 100 million at the box office?”
Wang Shuai couldn’t help walking towards Zhou Yang’s main seat. After seeing the script outlines of “Eavesdropping on the Storm” and “Crazy Stone”, he thought it was nonsense at first, but the more he looked back, the more shocked his face became.
Is this what the **** this guy could write in hours?
“I don’t know, what about Xingxing? If it doesn’t work, I have a movie with only one actor. This movie is called “Sniper Phone Booth”. Director Wang, are you interested? When filming “Infernal Affairs 2″ , spend a few days, try to get this movie out?”
“Are you crazy?”
Wang Shuai suddenly lost his voice when he saw Zhou Yang’s smile, but his eyes glowed with fiery light.
“Director Wang, I won’t write the script for the time being, my head is a little dizzy, how about I talk to you about the plot of this one-man movie?”
“…”
Wang Shuai has directed movies for so many years.
Having seen countless actors, screenwriters, and being used to seeing countless winds and waves, but looking at Zhou Yang at this moment, he still felt a little chill.
That chill penetrated the bone marrow and turned into an unknown sense of fear.
Zhou Yang’s behavior is too abnormal and too crazy.
He was clearly standing here alone, but Wang Shuai felt that there were many mysterious people standing behind Zhou Yang.
His head went down, and then his heart beat faster without realizing it.
But Zhou Yang didn’t seem to notice his expression, and began to chat with him about the script of “Sniper Phone Booth”.
Zhou Yang looks tired.
His eyes were red.
But the light in his eyes is getting hotter and hotter. When talking about the script, the whole person is very excited, as if there are endless topics to talk about, even like an audience, watching “Sniper Phone Booth” being filmed, even Can tell all the props that can be used for shooting…
Wang Shuai dumbly listened to the film outline and story, and the more he listened, the more horrified he became. There was a humming sound in his head. In the end, he could only hear Zhou Yang’s mouth opening and closing, and he couldn’t even hear what Zhou Yang was saying.
After a while, or after a long time…
“Brilliant, this is a great idea! God, what the **** is hiding in your head, I want to pry it open and take a look! Xiao Wang, can you take a picture of this book? If you don’t take it, I will take it?”
Shen Changwei heard Wang Shuai stand up suddenly, and his eyes were full of surprises!
He patted Wang Shuai on the shoulder.
Wang Shuai was sitting in the chair, just staring at the back of Zhou Yang. He didn’t know if it was because he sat here for too long today, or what was the reason. He felt that the “mysterious people” standing behind Zhou Yang became more and more clearer…
Nothing today
