Just to Sweep the Entertainment Industry Chapter 122: Don’t be burdened, let’s talk
Ji Kangxu spoke, but the conference room was quiet, and no one spoke.
Ji Kangxu looked around, his eyes swept over the people who set their eyes on the script and pretended to be silent, and said with a smile: "Why, when is there no room for people at my old Ji's discussion meeting? Did you speak?"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Du Feiyi and saw that he was leaning against the chair with a look of boredom on his face, so he said, "Then old Du, let's talk first."
Du Feiyi lifted his eyelids, glanced at Ji Kangxu, and then looked at the others, and then he sat up straight, took a sip from the water glass, pondered for a long time, and then said, "This The work is adapted from Cheng Jie'an's autobiography "The Road to Redemption". I have read the original work, and I also found a chance to chat with the original author. From my point of view, as an autobiography, his story and his experience are undoubtedly It's wonderful. But if it's filmed as a movie, it's too depressing and brings too many negative emotions."
"I'm not saying it's bad, but as you all know the current domestic film situation, the public is not very able to accept films and TV works with this kind of tone. So, I cut in from a different angle. I'm seriously ill. A family is under heavy pressure, but the country has policies, scientific research has countermeasures, and the pharmaceutical industry also has related treatment plans and medicines. Under the current national conditions, we can completely deliver a positive life to these seriously ill people. Attitude, tell them that there is support, there is support, and life is not hopeless."
"This is the starting point of my script. The focus is to highlight the actions of the country and the responsibility of pharmaceutical companies. Of course, the benefits of this cake are huge, and there will definitely be rat **** to harm people, so I arranged With a role like Zhang Weilong, he is not tempted by the desire for money, he can withstand the pressure at the last moment, carry out scientific research, and develop medicines, which has a kind of heroic feeling in it, which is the current market. , what people most want to see. Then there is the setting of the female character Qin Xiaoqin, I am also very thoughtful, even now everyone will complain, obviously can rely on the appearance and background to eat, but rely on talent, especially At the last moment, she stood by Zhang Weilong's side without hesitation and accompanied him..."
Du Feiyi is worthy of being a screenwriter. As soon as the conversation starts, he can't stop. He carefully explains the intention and starting point of his script, and explains every key character in the play in detail. His attentiveness, the choice of words and sentences are also very suitable for the characters, and when it comes to the wonderful parts, there is a bit of ecstatic expression.
In the entire conference room, only his voice was cadenced, and the rest of the people were silent.
It took fifteen minutes for him to finally finish his speech, but he still seemed a little unsure.
He cocked the corners of his mouth proudly, his neck raised a lot.
Ji Kang was silent for a while, didn't speak, and looked directly at Lu Ming, who was sitting directly opposite Du Feiyi.
As an assistant director, Lu Ming has been with Ji Kangxu for the longest time and has a very high status in the team.
He noticed Ji Kangxu's gaze, but he didn't raise his head. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the script. After a long time, he opened his mouth carefully, "I can't say that Brother Du's script is not well written. , the characters are very vivid, and the plot is also very smooth and perfect.
Speaking of this, he paused, looked up at Du Feiyi, then at Ji Kangxu, and licked his lower lip before continuing: "But it deviates from the meaning of the original work, and it is also related to us. The outline of the work set at the beginning is very different. Cheng Jie'an is a leukemia patient, and his autobiography is also about his experience of seeking medical treatment and struggling to survive.
"When I said the adaptation, I also thought about the tone. It is indeed too depressing to shoot according to the original work. The whole article may give people the impression of sensationalism, miserable sales, false compassion, and people can't see the slightest hope. , I also think that it is very dangerous to pass on such an idea, and if it is serious, it will spread the responsibility. Therefore, I have been thinking about this issue for a long time, and today Du Ge's script gave me an idea. ."
"The idea can also be the country's actions, scientific research breakthroughs, and pharmaceutical companies' responsibility. These three aspects should at least give people hope and have a point of support. But the entry point of the plot still has to return to Cheng Jie'an. To feel the change brought about by this hope from his perspective, and to feel this dependable and dependable steadfastness from his perspective. Then I think that this is very good.”
"As for the roles of Zhang Weilong and Qin Xiaoqin, I think they can be retained, because they are really eye-catching and very pleasing. People still hope that the bad guys will be brought to justice. This is a matter of popular sentiment."
Listening to Lu Ming's thoughts, Du Feiyi's expression was unpredictable. From time to time, he raised his eyelids to look at Lu Ming, and then lowered his eyelids to think.
Actually, he also knew that his script completely abandoned the character Cheng Jie'an, and 80% would not be accepted by Ji Kangxu, so he also made an alternate script, in order to reserve this back road, Lu Ming's Although what he said was different from what he thought, it was similar, and it was not unacceptable.
Therefore, his expression returned to normal, and he also showed an attitude of being humble and teachable.
Ji Kangxu still didn't speak, and turned his eyes to the other people. This time, before he could call his name again, the others started talking one after another.
"I think Brother Du's script is okay. There will be a Daqing next year. We fit the main theme, just in time for the presentation of the gift, and the box office is definitely guaranteed."
"I think Brother Lu's idea is ok, at least we have to keep the protagonist Cheng Jie'an, and from the perspective of ordinary people, it can make people feel the changes and hope brought by the big environment."
"I also think Brother Lu's is better. No matter how we say it, we have to shoot realism. It is purely from an official point of view, which is a bit off topic."
"How can you digress from the official point of view? Instead, I think it's very good to directly focus the lens on drug development and production. This is not the first-line element, or everyone doesn't understand it, just right There is also the meaning of popular science in it.”
"That's what I said, but Cheng Jie'an is the protagonist after all. If you cut it from an official point of view, he won't have a chance to appear.
"That's the trick. In the movie, what everyone sees is not what serious illness you have and how miserable you are, but wanting to see hope. Whoever goes to the cinema to watch a movie is just to add to their hearts!"
“…”
Everyone, you said my words, and the atmosphere suddenly warmed up.
Even, even Du Feiyi and Lu Ming were involved in the discussion. The two sides seemed to be arguing endlessly, but in fact it was just a matter of perspective, and they didn't have much opinion on the direction of the plot.
It seems that everyone thinks that this kind of storyline of a seriously ill patient struggling to survive has to be shot from this angle before anyone can watch it, otherwise it will be too depressing and a little too dark. Trials are a problem.
In the audience, the only three who did not speak were Ji Kangxu, Bai Zidi, and Yan Lu.
Ji Kangxu, as the final decision maker, rarely participates in such discussions. He usually makes a conclusion at the end, whether it is successful or not, whether to change or decide.
As for Bai Zidi, he never made any remarks. He only served as Ji Kangxu's assistant and served as the background board throughout the whole process.
So, the silence of the two of them seems to everyone to be accustomed to.
As for Yan Lu, he is a newly appointed music director, and everyone has not recognized his identity yet, so naturally no one will ask him what he thinks.
Du Feiyi's position is actually the opposite of Yan Lu. He didn't take him to heart at all, but this person's presence was a little strong, and he couldn't help but turn his eyes away.
As the discussion continued, he found that Yan Lu's brows were getting tighter and tighter, his lips pursed into a line, and his entire face was almost expressionless.
He looked at him amusingly, then looked at other people who had been moved by his alternate script plan, and suddenly spoke up.
"Brother Yan is here for the first time, and I don't know what to think. Let's listen to you. You are also a member of the team, aren't you?"
His opening cut a hole directly from the warm atmosphere, making everyone's eyes fall on Yan Lu.
Ji Kangxu also looked over, and then he noticed Yan Lu's expression, which seemed to have a kind of anger?
He is a little strange and a little curious. He always has a mysterious perception of Yan Lu, and he thinks that he is the most incomprehensible of all the young people he has met.
Thinking about this, he adjusted his sitting posture, turned to Yan Lu slightly, and said warmly: "My discussion has always been like this, everyone has an idea, just say, you came on the first day, and then again. I have no experience with filmmaking, so I can speak freely and maybe just give us some new ideas.”
Lu Ming also took the words from the side~IndoMTL.com~ and said: "Yes, everyone is like this, don't be burdened, just say what you want."
After finishing speaking, Lu Ming took a book from his hand, it was Cheng Jie'an's autobiography "The Road to Redemption". On the cover, it was pure white, only one piece of which was invisible to the naked eye. The path winding away, if you don't pay attention, you may even think that it is just a slender strand of hair that has been stained.
"This is the original work, and there is time. You can look through it roughly." After saying that, he pushed the book in front of Yan Li.
Yan Lu's eyes also fell on the book, his fingertips unconsciously clicked on the thin black line on the cover, and his eyes were silent.
In the conference room, no one said a word. They looked at Yan Li, their eyes were uncertain.
Just as Ji Kangxu lowered his eyes in disappointment, Bai Ziji curled his lips in a little boredom, Du Fei raised his eyebrows proudly, and Lu Ming sighed silently.
Yan Lu suddenly spoke up.
"Do you know what a xiamin is?"
