268. Asleep (this is the correct title)
Xu Cang has been in a state of rest since the release of "Jin'er".
There is no way, don’t watch movie directors, they will be very popular after the movie is sold. In fact, for any movie director, why do many people say that directors generally have a bad temper?
In fact, it is not that they have bad tempers, but that they are caused by stress.
Xu Cang is no exception. "Jin'er" is his first movie to return, and it cannot be missed, so his pressure is also extremely large.
Although the unexpected outbreak of "Jin'er" made him win both fame and fortune, the pressure during this period also made it difficult for him to have the urge to continue working in a short period of time.
Wang Yifan's sudden summoning surprised Xu Cang.
After taking a bus to the company, Xu Cang went straight to Wang Yifan's office.
"Mr. Wang, are you looking for me?" Xu Cang asked with a smile after knocking on the door and knocking in.
"Sit down first and have a cup of tea." Wang Yifan pointed to the sofa and said with a smile.
Then while making tea, he handed the script to Xu Cang.
Xu Cang took the script in surprise, but when he just took the script and saw the title, his brow frowned slightly.
Because this is a TV drama script.
Xu Cang has now officially separated from a TV series and has become a film director. He has had a box office hit movie like "Jin'er". To be honest, he doesn't really watch TV series.
It’s not that TV series is not as profitable as movies. In fact, on the contrary, TV series sometimes make much better money than movies.
And the pressure is not that great, but in terms of style, the movie is obviously much higher.
Some people say that movies are the art of directors, while TV series are the art of screenwriters, so this is also the reason why movie directors are so awesome.
Movies have both commercial and artistic attributes, but basically no one thinks that TV series must have artistic value!
If someone else handed him a TV drama script, he would probably refuse without saying a word, but this person was Wang Yifan, so even though he was not very happy, he still watched it patiently.
Wang Yifan did not rush to speak, but poured a cup of tea for Xu Cang while making tea, and then slowly tasted it, although he himself didn't know how to drink tea.
Xu Cang was actually quite unhappy at first. Why? If it weren't for the sake of making a movie, why did he find Wang Yifan? And he would also act as an assistant director for Wang Yifan?
How could he need such trouble when filming a TV series?
However, as a director who is a TV series director, Xu Cang still has the vision of reading the book.
But when he saw the name of the script, he still frowned. It was actually a fairy tale drama.
It’s not that Xianxia dramas are not good. On the contrary, with the development of special effects technology in China in recent years, Xianxia dramas have long become a genre of dramas on the streets.
Because of this, although there are many fairy tale dramas, the key problem is that the mass production of various fairy tale dramas has also led to a situation, that is, aesthetic fatigue.
Therefore, although fairy tale dramas are still active on small screens, they rarely achieve great things.
Why? This is about the theme of Xianxia drama. Special effects make Xianxia drama take off, because the theme of Xianxia drama can naturally exert the power of special effects, so there is no need to mention the visual effect.
But the problem is also here. Xianxia dramas are full of fantasy dramas, so it is really difficult for this drama to be outstanding.
However, this was a script taken out by Wang Yifan after all, so Xu Cang still started to read it patiently.
Soon, Xu Cang's eyes lit up, because he had actually read a lot of scripts of Xianxia drama and filmed them, but this script was very different.
Then he continued to watch, and then his eyes widened. It was not that the script was bad, but that it was too special, or, in other words, very bold.
Why do you say that? Because most of the fairy tale dramas today are derived from online novels, so most of the time, they are just one word, "satisfactory"!
Yes, the plot is very exciting. Although most protagonists will experience difficulties, they will definitely be slapping the face or revenge successfully in the end.
But this one is different. The reason why it is bold is that this drama is too abusive.
Just reading the script and the story, Xu Cang felt so confused and the urge to scold the author.
But, he couldn't help but want to look down.
I feel like I can't stop.
Then, time passed minute by minute. At the beginning, Xu Cang saw it very quickly, but gradually he slowed down.
Then, it got faster and slowed down again.
Especially when he saw some plots that made him feel nervous, he couldn't help but slow down and read them word by word. After watching this, he couldn't help but get up again because he wanted to know what happened next?
After a long time, he closed the script.
Then he looked up and saw that Wang Yifan was leaning on the sofa... asleep!
Xu Cang was a little embarrassed!
Then he looked at the time and said, "Good guy, he actually watched it for more than 3 hours in one breath."
But what should I do now? Wang Yifan is actually asleep? Should I wake him up? Will he get angry?
When the boss met you, he fell asleep. What should I do? Waiting online is quite urgent.
"Cough cough!" Xu Cang couldn't help but cough twice in the end.
Wang Yifan was actually quite tired during this period. He stared at the post-production, special effects, and had to write scripts, so he was very tired. Xu Cang just now watched it with relish and was fascinated by it. Wang Yifan didn't bother him, but as soon as he calmed down, the fatigue came out. Well, the main reason was that the sofa was too soft, well, it was worthy of being a high-end product, and he wanted to sleep when he sat, and then he really fell asleep.
Then, Xu Cang became even more embarrassed because Wang Yifan seemed to sleep heavily. The key point was that he actually... was actually snoring.
Is this considered to be something you shouldn't see?
Xu Cang felt so embarrassed.
What to do now?
"Director Wang, Dao Wang?" Xu Cang finally couldn't help it and pushed Wang Yifan and shouted.
Finally, Wang Yifan woke up.
"Director Xu, have you finished watching?" Wang Yifan opened his eyes, stretched his waist, and then asked.
Xu Cang became even more embarrassed and nodded and said, "I've finished reading."
"How do you think?" Wang Yifan asked.
"It's wonderful! It's very special!" Xu Cang thought about it and gave such an evaluation.
To be honest, Xu Cang was actually quite confused at this time. The script is definitely a good script. A good story will definitely make it great if you shoot it.
But he really doesn't want to follow the old path. No matter how exciting it is, it's just a TV series.
It’s not that Xu Cang looks down on TV series, okay, he just looks down on TV series, but he doesn’t want to refuse.
"You are familiar with the TV industry. Are there any directors who are good at filming such dramas?" Wang Yifan asked.
Xu Cang was stunned for a moment, but he felt relieved, but for some reason he was a little disappointed, because he knew that he had missed a good drama, but it was good that way, at least he didn't have to worry about it.
"There are actually many directors who are good at filming fairy dramas, but I think the core of this drama is actually 'love' and 'destiny'." Xu Cang said to Wang Yifan.
Wang Yifan nodded. Why was "Legend of Sword and Fairy" remembered by so many people? Why did it cause so much discussion back then? It was not because there were so many special effects, nor because there were so many forts in the plot, but because this drama was so fucking abusive.
