What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 150 The Name Sounds Cool

Happy days are all alike, only unlucky guys are unhappy in their own way.

Poplar is happy.

It was past nine o'clock at night, and Jiang Shiyu hadn't come back from filming a commercial. He was sitting in the living room and turned on the TV. On the screen was the election news from the other side of the ocean, and a golden retriever was giving an emotional speech.

Yang Shu put his arms around Liu Man's waist, slowly rubbing his little hands.

Liu Man is very relaxed. Although the two of them have been rubbing each other in private for almost half a year, it's always enough, so I don't worry about him suddenly doing something out of the ordinary.

This story is as innocent as a movie made by the two, and it can be seen that she enjoys this feeling very much.

As a director, Yang Shu has been enjoying himself in different ways.

"This person's speech is too exaggerated. It looks like he is doing a variety show. I heard that he was doing a variety show before."

"Don't underestimate this person, there is a purple energy rising from behind this person, and his future is limitless."

"You can see the purple air when you watch the TV broadcast?"

"Now it's all broadcast in high-definition. Of course, Ziqi is also broadcast. Can't you see it?"

With such a good atmosphere, Yang Shu didn't want to talk about spoiling the fun, but he still talked about the importance of the matter.

He told about Ning Song and Chen Jingyun's visit to Feihongxuan in the afternoon: "The policy has changed, and we must change accordingly."

Liu Man's daughter-in-law finally became a mother-in-law, and finally she was able to direct again. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened, and she immediately panicked: "What should I do? It's too late to start filming. I have already invited Brother Hu and Yang Zi to our new studio." How can I ask someone to adjust the schedule temporarily?"

She is very attentive to the fourth season, and started preparations early on. Now if the filming starts in a hurry, the filming team may be able to adjust, but the schedules of the stars are all full, so it's really hard to ask them to adapt to themselves.

Liu Man's face turned red in anxiety: "What's wrong with these platforms? The policies are adjusted at will, and they don't disclose it in advance. What about making some dramas that don't meet the requirements?"

In fact, there are very few short dramas like "The World's Wonderful Events" on the market. Works involving a lot of creativity have always been the shortcoming of the mainland. up.

"Don't worry, in fact, this matter should look better," Yang Shu tried to calm her emotions: "We might as well take this as a turning point."

"What turnaround?"

"Do you think "Wonderful Events of the World" can continue to be popular for a long time?"

"Of course it's impossible. No matter how popular an American drama is after ten or eight seasons, it will lose its shape. "Wonderful Events in the World" will definitely be popular for a few more seasons."

"Maybe it will be popular for another three or five seasons, so do you think we can make further breakthroughs and become more popular?"

Liu Man thought for a while: "I'm afraid this will be difficult, and it doesn't conform to the rules. We belong to the peak when we debut, so it's good if we can keep the popularity."

"Now we are developing in two lines, movies and online dramas go hand in hand. If "Love Letter from Heaven" is also the pinnacle work, then I have no interest in doing "Warrior". After all, we are not short of money now."

With 3.6 million in cash in hand, and 3 million in real estate investment, he can make a steady profit without losing money. It seems that there is no need to rack his brains for making money.

"So we should improve the web dramas we make again? Doesn't it matter if we shoot the fourth season or not?"

Liu Man was a little dissatisfied with his statement, and she didn't want to be fooled by the truth and lose the chance to direct, after all, this was her original ideal.

Yang Shu hugged her tightly: "In the past two years, for the development of the studio, you gave up being a director and did everything in the crew. I will never forget the way you ran around with sweat on your face."

Saying this is very useful, Liu Man calmed down a little: "I was full of hope, but these days I was participating in activities outside, and my mind was full of how to shoot the fourth season well. I didn't expect such a sudden change. You mean not to shoot gone?"

"Since the rules have changed, let's not shoot suddenly just to avoid it. As I said just now, making money is no longer the first goal."

Liu Man is not a genius director. Even if Yang Shu helps to prepare the dishes and condiments, she still has to master the heat when she cooks.

"Then what do you think next? Give up the web drama and concentrate on making movies?"

"Not to mention I won't forget your ideal, of course I won't give up, I plan to open a new movie for you, a first-class new movie that meets the requirements of all aspects of the platform, and surpass "World Wonderful Events" as much as possible."

Liu Man became excited: "Really?!"

"Of course it's true. You don't have to hurry. You can work slowly and carefully."

She looked at Yang Shu with sparkling eyes: "Have you already thought about what kind of scene to shoot?"

This expression is very familiar. Yang Shu is a very nostalgic person, or rather emotional. Her appearance overlaps with many pictures in memory. Although Sister Tao's may be mixed in, it is now regarded as Liu Man's.

He couldn't help leaning over, wanting to lick her lips.

Liu Man pushed it away: "What's the matter with you, let's talk about it."

Yang Shu suppressed a surge of true pressure in his dantian: "Have you seen the time loop play?"

"Of course I've seen it. There are many. "A Westward Journey" is a time loop. The most famous is "Butterfly Effect". Tom Cruise's "Edge of Tomorrow" is also good, and "Source Code" two years ago is also very good. , and earlier, there was Hollywood's "Groundhog Day", I have seen them all."

Liu Man thought for a while: "I missed one, "Terror Cruise". In fact, this is my favorite."

In fact, there are many more. If Yang Shu recommends it, "Run Lola Run" and "Pre-Destination" are also good, but the latter is extremely brain-burning, so it's better not to talk about it.

"I'm going to write you a play about time loops."

"A web drama with a time loop? Will it be too complicated?"

I can't blame Liu Man for asking this question. The current film and television industry is like this. No matter how good the screenwriter and production level is, they are worried that the things they shoot are too advanced and difficult for the audience to understand. Therefore, the plot and dialogue are all developed in a straightforward and childish direction, and vice versa. The audience complained about being mentally handicapped.

"Don't worry, the audience is no more stupid than us, everyone can understand what we understand, the key is whether it is worth others' brains."

"I named the new play "The Beginning."

"The time loop concept, the name sounds cool."

Yang Shu roughly introduced the plot. A game architect and a female college student came back from the dead after being bombed by a bus. Fight side by side with barriers, try to stop the explosion and find the truth, and realize self-growth in experiencing life and death challenges time after time.

The passengers on the bus also have different identities and experiences, and have their own difficulties. Through their experiences, the story is extended to real life, giving the work a deeper practical significance.

For Liu Man, who has read countless films, this is not a particularly amazing story, and the plot is not as sudden as some stories in "Wonderful Events in the World", but the content is undoubtedly richer and can be explored and expanded infinitely.

"The story is very exciting, it feels a bit similar to "Source Code", the story takes place on a vehicle, "The Beginning" is on a bus, "Source Code" is a train, both cars will explode, and the protagonist is solved through a time loop Explosion crisis."

"Yes, but the theme is different. In "The Beginning", the hero and heroine accidentally enter the time loop to find the cause of the bus explosion, and indirectly explore the stories behind the characters. It shows human nature. The ultimate goal is to find the best way to stop the gangsters from committing crimes, so that End the loop.

The protagonist of "Source Code" has already died in the war, and his brain consciousness has been thrown into the time and space simulated by the source code, a bit like playing an online game, finding the murderer in the car through a continuous time loop, and finally changing the reality by his choice . "

"It's really different," Liu Man became more and more interested in this story: "If you remove the time loop caused by different reasons, the core, story details, characters' purpose and even the character's behavior patterns of the two works are actually different. It's going in a completely different direction."

"That's right, the framework of the time loop story is similar. This is not an exclusive idea, but a regular theme of film and television, just like the core of time-travel dramas. For example, "Scary Step by Step" and "Gong" are both Modern people travel to ancient times and fall in love with ancient people, the same setting does not mean the same story."

"At present, there seems to be no well-filmed time-cycle series in China, right?"

"I haven't heard of it."

The more Liu Man thought about it, the more he liked the subject, and his eyes lit up again: "Your idea is very good, I like it very much."
