The first person to see the script of "Spring in a Small Town" was Feng Xiaogang, and Lin Zixuan mentioned this story to him. ★

After the first draft was released, Feng Xiaogang took it to read it. It was still very rough and not perfect.

Lin Zixuan used to write scripts based on the pictures he remembered, which were relatively flat, just like explaining a painting. It was boring and had no emotions.

Later, I learned more scripts, learned the screenwriter skills, added my understanding of the plot, and gradually became smoother.

This is how proficiency can be achieved.

In fact, most of the time he wrote the outline and supplemented it by other screenwriters. He checked it out in the end and as long as it was not far from the plot in his memory, there was no need to be exactly the same.

As the basis of a play, the script is very important, but during the filming process, the director will modify it according to the actual situation.

So, the script is not static.

Now, Lin Zixuan rarely writes scripts himself, otherwise the screenwriters in the company would have nothing to do.

For example, in the drama "The Endless", he and Feng Xiaogang discussed a general direction and gave it to the people below to discuss and come up with all kinds of fun jokes.

Some jokes may not be used in this drama, but they may have unexpected effects in other dramas.

A script is often the crystallization of collective wisdom, not the credit of a person.

The screenwriter of Haomeng Company will create stories by himself. As long as the writing is interesting, Lin Zixuan will invest in filming when there is sufficient funds. A company cannot rely on only one or two people to support it.

Lin Zixuan personally took the lead in writing the first draft and handed it over to the screenwriter for perfection.

He attaches great importance to this video and does not want to ruin it in his own hands.

This is different from filming New Year's films. There is no problem in the entertainment film with less plot or a few more shots. The audience is busy and happy when watching the entertainment films, and will not pick on it.

Art films are more rigorous and pursue artistic conception. A redundant shot may ruin the entire film.

This is not about copying "Spring in a Small Town", it doesn't make any sense. Every director has a different understanding of art. Lin Zixuan just writes out his feelings about the story as much as possible.

Due to different experiences, everyone feels different when reading this story.

A twenty-year-old man watched "Spring in a Small Town" and felt that the heroine should leave the small town with a young doctor to pursue freedom and happiness.

Thirty-year-olds will feel that it is difficult to make a decision. Whether the heroine leaves the small town to pursue freedom or takes responsibility and stays with her husband, they will be confused.

People over forty years old can understand the heroine's choice, love and family, morality and temptation, and there is a standard here.

A good movie will bring different thoughts to the audience.

Feng Xiaogang made three New Year's films and was thinking of transformation, but he had not found his direction, or his own style.

The media summarized Feng Xiaogang's movie as "Feng's Humor", believing that this is the characteristic of Feng Xiaogang's film.

But Feng Xiaogang himself doesn't think so. He thinks that's the reason for the script, not his style, he is not a director with personality, and is still constantly exploring.

"I took advantage of the script and filmed three films of the same type. Everyone labeled me and thought I was like this." Feng Xiaogang said helplessly, "I can also shoot other films, it's all right."

After Lin Zixuan finished writing the first draft of "Spring in a Small Town", Feng Xiaogang took it away.

A few days later, Feng Xiaogang returned the manuscript to Lin Zixuan with a serious expression on his face.

"I have been thinking about it for several days, but I can't shoot this movie." Feng Xiaogang said seriously. "If you can only shoot it, you can shoot it, but you can't shoot it. You can either wait a few years, and wait for you to be forty years, and then you can shoot a few more movies."

It seems that this is just a love story between men and women, but in the historical context at that time, it has a different meaning.

In Feng Xiaogang's opinion, this script is too elegant and restrained, and the scale is difficult to grasp, especially the relationship between men and women. As long as the relationship is slightly too hot, it will destroy the overall atmosphere.

Just reading the script can feel the meticulous emotional entanglement and the lonely feeling that cannot be expressed.

"The directors who shoot this drama must be calm and delicate, but they cannot be as cold as bystanders. They must be able to integrate into it." Feng Xiaogang analyzed, "This requires experience and rich filming experience."

"Brother Feng, do you think that domestic director can shoot?" Lin Zixuan asked.

"If Zhang Yimou takes out the same state as he is in "Alive", there should be no problem. His current state is hard to say." Feng Xiaogang commented, "Jiang Wen is not good either. Jiang Wen can let go, but he can't stop it. He feels angry and can't control it. When he smooths the breath in his heart, he can make such a quiet film."

The two talked about famous domestic directors, from the fourth to the fifth generation, and the sixth generation who had just become active.

"There is another director, but he can't film now." Feng Xiaogang pointed out, "It's just that Tian Jingshi, who was fined ten years last time, was unable to work as a director. His style is appropriate, which is a pity."

Because the films filmed were illegally participated in the Tokyo International Film Festival, Tian Shishi was punished by the General Administration the most severely.

Although he is unable to make movies now, he still works in the Beijing Film Studio, helping some young people embark on the path of directors.

Lin Zixuan was not in a hurry to find the director of "Spring in a Small Town". He first asked the company's screenwriter to supplement and improve the script and hand it over to Director Chen and others to see if they would like to act.

After the prequel of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was filmed, it will not start until next year.

The latter legend mainly tells the story of Yu Jiaolong's son. Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian have become legends in the world and do not need to appear.

Yu Feihong planned to go to the United States to continue her studies, and before she left, she received a script sent by Lin Zixuan.

After reading the script of "Spring in the Small Town", she hesitated. She liked the role of Zhou Yuwen, the young woman in the script very much.

Zhou Yuwen is young and beautiful, living in a small town like a stagnant water. She has no feelings for her husband and can only admire herself every day.

Facing her old lover, she had hesitated and struggled, wanting to get love and freedom, but she finally chose to stay by her husband's side and buried love in her heart.

This character is very contradictory and natural. This film tests the actor's acting skills and has a lot of inner scenes.

How to express psychological activities through dialogue and actions can be just right, no more, and very challenging.

It is difficult for an actor to encounter such a rich character, which is hard to come by.

In this way, Yu Feihong is not in a hurry to leave the country. (To be continued.)8
