Chapter five hundred and fourteen respect
Han Sanping and China TV were willing to participate. In addition to feeling that this matter would benefit, they also saw the first draft of the movie version of "Desire".
This first draft was decided from several versions.
Regarding how to tell the story of the sequel to "Desire", the screenwriters of Good Dream Company are roughly divided into two camps.
One is to focus on 1999.
Most people think this is the last year of the 20th century, and next year will be a new century.
This is an important year to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
But some scientists claim that 1999 was not the last year of this century. They believe that the 20th century ended in 200 and the 21st century began in 2001.
This is an interesting debate.
No matter how scientists argue, leaders and people of various countries are ready to welcome the millennium and celebrate the new century.
Putting the movie version of "Desire" in the background this year represents the end of the past and a completely new future.
This version of the script tells the story of Liu Huifang's home in 1999. The capital has changed, and people's lives have also undergone earth-shaking changes.
A small family leads to the entire big society, and tells the changes in the times over the years from parents' opinions.
Another version is to construct the story in a chronological way, dividing the entire film into several paragraphs.
The speech in 1992 accelerated the process of reform and opening up and led to a wave of the whole nation going into the sea.
In 1995, state-owned enterprises reformed, and private enterprises began to contract state-owned enterprises.
In 1997, Xiangjiang returned to the country, and the tide of state-owned enterprise employees was laid off.
In 1999, Liu Huifang got older and her children grew up. The country was about to enter a new century.
These four paragraphs are four short stories surrounding Liu Huifang, each story is thirty minutes and the whole movie is two hours.
Both versions have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The first version of the storyline is concentrated and coherent, but it is difficult to resonate with the audience through memories.
The plot of the second version is scattered, but it is closely linked to the great era, giving the audience a sense of immersion. Those stories they have experienced personally.
From the perspective of investment, the first version has less investment, which is the story that takes place in the present without having to build an outdoor scene.
The second version will show the characteristics of the eras of each era.
Although it was just a ten-year difference, the changes in China in the past ten years have been huge. Ten years ago, the capital was like a big countryside, with farmers' markets everywhere and roads being built everywhere.
Ten years later, the capital has already taken the prototype of a modern city.
Lin Zixuan tends to be the second version.
The first version can only be considered an ordinary emotional story, while the second version has the color of a main theme video.
Han Sanping and the leaders of China TV saw the first draft of the second version. They thought it was okay and there was room for improvement, so we must strive for excellence.
This is the way the leader is doing, it is difficult to satisfy them very much. It would be great if it could reach eight points.
Regarding the director's candidate, Huaguo TV thinks Zhao Baosteel is suitable, and Zhao Baosteel was the director of "Desire".
Lin Zixuan is naturally Lin Xiaoling. After all, Lin Xiaoling has won the best director of the Venice Film Festival. She is famous enough, but some people think she is too young and cannot master such subjects well.
Zhao Baogang declined this invitation, and he didn't really want to develop the film industry.
Besides, the risk of filming the sequel to "Desire" is too high, and he is calm and unwilling to take this risk.
After confirming the script and director, the actors will be required to set up the crew.
After the three companies signed a cooperation agreement, the movie became bigger and bigger.
It is claimed to be an investment of 25 million yuan, but in fact it only has 17 million yuan. Haomeng Company invested 10 million yuan and Huaying Group invested 7 million yuan.
The two starring actors will pay one million.
Zhang Kaili is the soul of "Desire". She has been silent in recent years because she has not taken on the role of giving birth to a child. However, when it comes to Liu Huifang, the audience will think of Zhang Kaili.
Her pay cannot be defined by the number of actors in the first place, but depends on the box office appeal.
This sequel to "Desire" mainly relies on her to attract audiences, so the pay for first-line actors is 800,000.
Teacher Li Xuejian is a powerful domestic actor. He may not be as famous as Ge You and Jiang Wen, but he has created many classic characters familiar to domestic audiences.
Moreover, there is a bad rule in the circle. The male and female leading actors in a drama have similar fame, and the male actors are paid more than high.
There is also a phenomenon of favoring boys over girls in the film and television industry.
Lin Zixuan has considered that the audience in this movie mainly watches Zhang Kaili, and at the same time, they cannot ignore Li Xuejian's feelings.
So, the two of them paid the same amount, both of them were 800,000.
For this reason, Lin Zixuan explained to Li Xuejian in person. Li Xuejian had no objection and didn't care much about this. He wanted to get the script as soon as possible and see the quality of the script.
Li Xuejian was not excited to play the role of Song Dacheng again ten years later, and he said he was under great pressure.
The TV series "Desire" reached a height, with amazing ratings and was received by national leaders, and all kinds of honors and praises were imminent.
When others say hello to him, they don’t call him his name, but affectionately called him “Dacheng”.
Lin Zixuan came this time to give Li Xuejian the script.
This is just the first draft. The actors have good ideas and opinions to put forward. The creation of the script itself is not a human matter.
In fact, Lin Zixuan does not necessarily need to come in person, but people from Haomeng Company can also come here.
But Lin Zixuan thinks this is a kind of respect, especially for the seniors in the circle.
The entertainment industry is a place where rules are followed. It doesn’t mean that Lin Zixuan has become the boss of Haomeng Company or the boss in the circle, so he doesn’t need to respect his seniors.
The higher you stand at a high point, the more you understand the importance of rules. Without rules, you cannot achieve a square.
If Lin Zixuan does not respect his predecessors, the juniors will not respect him. Over time, the circle will be in chaos.
Those unruly actors can't stay in this circle for a long time. They may be prosperous for a short time, but they have no future.
This respect does not necessarily mean that you have to pay tribute when you meet, it is just a form, and it is mainly about respect from the heart.
Just like Lin Zixuan comes to give Li Xuejian a script, explains the issue of pay, discusses the plot together, and listens to Li Xuejian's opinions carefully. This is respect.
This is mutual. If you respect others, others will respect you.
They talked about the script, talked about the past when filming the TV series "Desire" and the scene when the two met for the first time.
At that time, Lin Zixuan was still a young man, and Li Xuejian was already a very famous actor. There have been great changes in the past ten years.
The TV series "Desire" spans more than ten years, from the late 1960s to the 1980s, and this sequel was from the 1980s to the 1990s.
It can be said to have spanned half a century.
The joys, anger, sorrows and happiness of ordinary families in old alleys in the capital are staged like this, allowing the ruts of history to be rolled over. (To be continued.)
