Chapter 125: Join the screenwriter
ps: Please order first, like, recommend...
After the promotion of the treasure island ended, Lin Zhimo immediately flew back to Xiahai because the shooting was about to start.
However, on the first day Lin Zhimo came to the crew to report, Lin Zhimo received news that the script would be revised.
"Director Zhao, what's going on? Why are you going to change the script suddenly?" Lin Zhimo came to Zhao Baogang's office with the new script and asked.
Zhao Baogang seemed to be angry just now and said impatiently: "You don't have to think so much, just act according to the new script."
Lin Zhimo opened his mouth and was about to speak when the office door was pushed open, and then an angry voice came in: "Zhao Baogang, what did you mean on the phone just now! Are you making random changes? What is the depth of the script? Where is the depth?"
The one who came in was a middle-aged man with dark skin and no stunning appearance. Lin Zhi agreed that he was the screenwriter of this drama, Zhang Youchen.
Zhang Youchen was stunned when he saw Lin Zhimo, but before he could react, Zhao Baogang slapped the table: "What's wrong with me changing it! Will anyone see it like before?"
When Zhang Youchen heard this, he forgot Lin Zhimo and said without any permission: "How come no one can watch it! There will be no one watching it like you, which is only romantic and love-like. Why choose the drama from the 1930s and 1940s to shoot idol dramas? Isn't it better to shoot modern dramas? "
Lin Zhimo saw the two of them staring at each other and refused to give in. He quickly said, "Director Zhao, Screenwriter Zhang, don't be angry, don't be angry, if there is anything to sit down and talk slowly, this will not solve the problem, right?"
Lin Zhimo brought a chair over and said to Zhang Youchen: "Come on. Screenwriter Zhang, do you want to drink water?"
Lin Zhimo treated Zhang Youchen diligently as if he was the master.
Zhang Youchen sat on the chair angrily and complained to Lin Zhimo: "Lin Zhimo, what do you think about Director Zhao? The script has been confirmed and the actors have been found, but he has to change the script again... It would be fine if the script is processed again and it would be better. As a result, all the original in-depth things were deleted. Zhao Baogang, what do you mean?"
The more he spoke, the more angry he became. Zhang Youchen couldn't help but stand up and yelled at Zhao Baogang again.
"Relieve the breath. Relieve the breath!" Lin Zhimo quickly pressed Zhang Youchen on the chair and advised: "Screenwriter Zhang, don't you know that we are the ones who are screenwriters? We are affected by this and that. If a script does not change for 9981 chapters, can we still obtain the true scriptures?"
Zhang Youchen was amused by Lin Zhimo's words. In fact, he was not really angry. How could he not know the status of a screenwriter after being a screenwriter for so many years? Changes like Zhao Baogang are already light. But he curiously said, "We screenwriter." So he asked, "Zhimo, do you know the screenwriter?"
Zhao Baogang also walked out from behind the desk, sat on the sofa and asked strangely: "Yes, why did you say 'your screenwriter'?"
Lin Zhimo smiled and said, "I am really a screenwriter. The movie "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" filmed by director Wang Xiaoshuai a while ago was written by the two of us."
After spending so many years in the entertainment industry, Lin Zhimo naturally knows when to be humble and when to be ostentatious. Now is not the time to show how humble he is, but he should reveal his experience openly.
Sure enough, when they heard that Lin Zhimo had participated in a screenwriter of a movie, both of them changed their views on Lin Zhimo. Zhang Youchen was straightforward and asked directly: "Then Zhimo, tell me, tell me, do you think of these two scripts? Is the new script not as good as the original script?"
Lin Zhimo smiled bitterly: "Screenwriter Zhang..."
Zhang Youchen waved his hand and said in displeasure: "What is the screenwriter? Just call him Brother Chen. There are not so many twists and turns in the Northeast." After that, he looked at Zhao Baogang provocatively, obviously he was going to pull Lin Zhimo into his camp.
Zhao Baogang smiled slightly and ignored Zhang Youchen's small actions at all. The cooperation for such a long time has made the two of them very familiar with each other. He knew that Zhang Youchen said this was just due to his personality, so he didn't have any bad intentions.
Lin Zhimo had no choice but to shout, "Brother Chen! Let's say that, in fact, I agree with Director Zhao's change to some extent, but..."
Zhang Youchen was about to get angry, but after hearing Lin Zhimo's "but" calm down again, waiting for Lin Zhimo's speech.
"I will just express my immature opinions. If there is anything wrong with it, Director Zhao and Brother Chen don't care."
Lin Zhimo gave the two a vaccination first, and then continued: "First of all, I need to admit that this book is really touching. Just like the love story, it can be almost perfect. I believe that with Director Zhao's shooting style, this film will definitely be beautiful when filming. If you have to say regrets, there will be only two small shortcomings."
"One is what Brother Chen said, without thickness. Since we want to shoot a love scene, we don't have to choose love in the 1930s and 1940s. Since we have chosen that chaotic era, we have to reflect something and nothing ended up. The second is the ending of the story. In the last eight characters, four lovers actually died and separated, and none of them have a good result. This ending will certainly shock the audience, but I think there will be a lot of curses afterwards. And as Director Zhao said, since we want to shoot TV series that everyone likes and entertainment TV series, why do we have to arrange such a complete tragedy? Even if we only break up one pair."
Lin Zhimo became more and more stateful as he spoke. He walked in the office and said, "And in my opinion, some places are too far-fetched. In the film, Li Yingqi is also a study abroad person, but he doesn't know that he can't get married in close relatives. As a gang leader who is powerful in Xia Hai, Du Yunhe actually killed people with a gun and made himself die, which is unreasonable; and... "
Lin Zhimo's words made Zhao Baogang and Zhang Youchen look at Lin Zhimo with admiration. As professionals, they naturally knew that what Lin Zhimo said was not targetless, and it could even be said to be a very objective and highly targeted opinion. The two couldn't help but look at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.
"This Lin Zhimo is really a treasure. He has superb acting skills and great singing skills. Even the screenwriter is very talented, especially since he is still so young now... but unfortunately he already has an agency." Zhao Baogang sighed in his heart.
A few days ago, he set up a film and television investment company in Yanjing. Now it is a time when actors are short. If Lin Zhimo can be signed, it will definitely make the company's strength higher.
As a screenwriter, Zhang Youchen even heard of Lin Zhimo's profound literary experience from his words. You should know that a screenwriter without knowledge is definitely not a good screenwriter, and this is even more rare for Lin Zhimo, who is an actor.
Telling stories is easy, but screenwriters are not that easy. Because you need to try to be true to write scripts. Everything you have to write and then film them by the director must be like that. If you rely solely on your own imagination in your mind, you can't write a good script.
Just as the two of them were surprised, Lin Zhimo also said to the end: "... In general, according to my opinion, this new script has a feeling of tragedy for tragedy. Although regrets can give people more aftertaste. But too much is not enough... In fact, tragedy or regrets have many ways of expressing them, like "Flowers of Flowers" and "Half-Life" are as faint as it is, isn't it also memorable? And..."
Lin Zhimo hesitated for a moment and said, "Director Zhao, you know, I played a guest role in a small role on the crew of Love Deep Rain. I also know something about that script. Well, how to say it... Compared with that script, I think our previous script is slightly less entertaining; but now this script seems too entertaining and not enough."
What Lin Zhimo said is not enough, naturally, refers to the thickness of history that Zhang Youchen mentioned.
When they heard Lin Zhimo's words, both Zhao Baogang and Zhang Youchen fell into a quiet state and did not distinguish. After all, they all knew that if nothing unexpected happened, the opponents after the release of this drama next year would include "deep love and misty rain". Now, when Lin Zhimo said the shortcomings of the script, the two of them were not allowed to pay attention to it.
In fact, Lin Zhimo said this, but he also took some risks. After all, every crew would ask the actors to keep the content of the script confidential when signing a contract with the actors. Although Lin Zhimo did not disclose the content of the script there, the two of them could still hear Lin Zhimo's implicit voice from Lin Zhimo's words.
Zhao Baogang pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's take pictures and make corrections, and strive to take into account some depth while satisfying the entertainment public."
If it weren't for Lin Zhimo's words that had already aroused Zhao Baogang's surprise and made him look at Lin Zhimo with admiration, even if Lin Zhimo said "Deep Love" now, Zhao Baogang wouldn't have made the decision to change the script again, but it's different now.
When Zhang Youchen heard Zhao Baogang say that he should take into account depth on the basis of entertainment, rather than keeping the basis of depth on the basis of maintaining the depth, he would ask questions as soon as his face changed.
Lin Zhimo quickly said, "Brother Chen, what Director Zhao said is right. Our TV series has no art films, and there is nothing left without ratings."
Zhang Youchen lowered his head and didn't know what he was mumbling, but it was obviously not a good thing.
Zhao Baogang ignored Zhang Youchen's dissatisfaction and smiled at Lin Zhimo and said, "Zhimo, but I just want to apologize for you. I won't be able to add your name to the screenwriter column in the future."
Lin Zhimo was stunned: "Director Zhao, what you mean is..."
Zhao Baogang stretched out his hand: "I officially represent the crew of 'Like Fog, Rain and Wind'. You are welcome to join the screenwriter's team, and the salary will be paid, but the crew will be on the list at that time..."
Lin Zhimo was overjoyed: "It's okay, it's okay. Even if Director Zhao, you really want to write, I won't dare to go on it, haha."
At this time, Zhao Baogang naturally didn't know how much change he would bring to the future of the show on his whim.
"By the way, there is another thing. I heard that you have written the theme song for all the TV series you participated in?" Zhao Baogang suddenly asked.
"Uh, this wasn't something I did deliberately, I just felt inspired..." Lin Zhimo was startled. Such words should not be spread randomly, otherwise what if I don't have good inspiration.
