This entertainment industry is a bit strange

Chapter 238 Jiang Wen's Script

In Yanjing at the end of October, Qiuhuo was still exuding a lingering prestige.

But in Jiangwen's courtyard, there is a refreshing coolness.

The plants, trees, bricks, and tiles here look a bit earthy when viewed individually, but they have a different charm when combined.

Moreover, Jiang Wen also made some renovations to the small courtyard according to his own aesthetic preferences, removing most of the Manchu elements and adding some modern Chinese elements, the effect is quite good.

After visiting around, Yang Rui felt as if he had been scratched by a cat a few times, and it was very itchy.

Who wouldn't want such a nice yard?

After retiring in the future, taking your wife and children here to spend the rest of your life is simply not too comfortable!

It's a pity that the courtyard houses these days have begun to be included in the strict control category. If you have money, you don't have to buy them. You have to have the qualifications!
Alas, noble capital household registration!

Originally, after arriving in Yanjing, Yang Rui had already asked his assistant to book a hotel, but Xu Xi called him over.

What kind of hotel to stay in, just stay at Jiang Wen's house, his yard is full of rooms, so crowded and lively!
Yang Rui, who was envious of the courtyard house, was fooled into coming over like this, only to realize that he had been fooled when he entered the door——Jiang Wen is currently recruiting strong men to help figure out the script!
Jiang Wen's donkey temper is well-known in the circle, who dares to help him with the script, if it is not well written, it will be damaged, and if it is well written, it will be even worse--I will just grab you and won't let you go, don't think about revising it You don't even want to get away for two or three years!

So in the past two days, there was originally a gathering in the Beijing circle. When the relatives and friends heard that he was working on the script, they were so scared that they shut the door and shrank their heads, fearing that they would be targeted.

Yang Rui, who knew nothing about this, directly became unlucky.

Before putting down the luggage, Jiang Wen grabbed her and asked him to help read the script and give some advice.

At this point, Yang Rui couldn't refuse, so he could only open the script and read it.

In the end, I just read a page and almost got internal injuries.

The word "Jiangwen" is... a match for those medical records in the hospital, it looks like a bible at first glance!

However, the several storyboards interspersed in it are as abstract as violent comics, and the contrast of the combination is so cute that Yang Rui almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

The script is obviously still a semi-finished product, and it's all a series of piecemeal inspirations and ideas connected with small plots, but a little bit of prototype can be vaguely seen.

For him who has seen the finished product in his previous life, he can recognize it at a glance. This should be the spiritual predecessor of "Let the Bullets Fly", "The Sun Also Rises".

"How is it?" Jiang Wen asked with bright eyes: "What do you think after watching it?"

Yang Rui frowned and kept silent for a while.

Xu Xi, who was reading a book in the shade while shaking a bamboo chair, suddenly interjected: "He is narrow-minded, you have to think it over."

"What's the matter with you? Go read your vulgar novel!" Jiang Wen cursed and slammed the door.

Then he smiled and said to Yang Rui: "Just say it, it's fine."

It's not that Yang Rui didn't dare to say it, but he didn't know how to say it.

Compared with "Let the Bullets Fly", which is full of calls for World Heritage application, "The Sun Also Rises" is a movie with mixed reviews. People who like it praise it to the sky, but these people are only a minority.

Most people stared straight at this film: what is this filmed about?I can't understand it at all!

Not to mention that ordinary audiences can't understand it, even those interpretations on the Internet are full of mistakes and omissions, which means that even some professional film critics can't understand the twists and turns in it, which is fatal.

Movies and movies are art for the public after all. No matter how good your filming is, it’s useless if people don’t understand it.

Obscurity and esoteric are never an excuse for a film to be difficult to understand, and "Let the Bullets Fly" is an ironclad proof.

But these reasons are all commented from the perspective of "after the fact", how to evaluate the semi-finished script in hand now also requires some skills.

The most lazy way is to just pretend that you don’t understand it and get it done, so as to ensure that there will be no future troubles.

But after all, this is Jiang Wen, one of the flags of the Beijing circle, not to mention the cooperation within the circle, even if it is only for the plan of selling courtyard houses, it is necessary to establish a good relationship with these Beijing circle children.

And if you want to integrate into this circle, you must first "conquer" these Wenqing, and you can't get into their eyes, and everything is nonsense.

Commercially successful as Feng Xiaogang is, in the eyes of these young people in the Beijing circle, nothing more than a "Feng trousers" with basically no status at all.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Rui said: "Director Jiang..."

Jiang Wen waved his hand, "Listen to Ge Ying, just call me Old Jiang or Dajun from now on."

Jiang Wen is also known as Jiang Xiaojun, and Ma Xiaojun in "Sunny Day" is his own projection.

"Okay, Old Jiang." Yang Rui opened the script and said, "The core of your book is very hard, and there are too many allusions in it."

Hearing this, Jiang Wen pushed up his glasses, "Hey, you really have sharp eyesight, unlike those grandchildren who just can't understand it, vulgar!"

"But it's not necessarily a good thing. This kind of gameplay is a double-edged sword." Yang Rui continued.

"I probably know what you mean, but I can't help it. If you don't play like this, it will be very difficult to pass the trial." Jiang Wen shook his head and said, "I just came out of the blacklist, and I am a key care target right now, so don't make the film a bit obscure , It is estimated that he was directly strangled when he reported for interrogation."

"But that's not the reason to take a slant." Yang Rui continued: "I think you should figure out the pre-set position, whether this movie is to satisfy your creative desires, or is it really going to be shown to the audience. "

"If it's just for self-entertainment, then you don't need to ask me at all. Anyway, you don't lack for investment. Wouldn't it be over if you write a script that you are satisfied with and pull it out for filming?"

"But since you are pulling people to read the script everywhere, it means that you still care about the audience's feedback. Shouldn't you consider the market issue? As far as your current script is being shot, I can guarantee that at least ten audiences will read it. Nine are clueless."

"The remaining one is either connected with your brain waves, or it fell asleep and didn't know what it put."

Jiang Wen looked him up and down, "Good boy, you dare to say it?"

Yang Rui spread his hands, "Didn't you ask me to say this?"

Jiang Wen picked up the enamel jar and drooled. Yang Rui keenly noticed that the retro enamel cup was engraved with five bright red characters of "serve the people" and the head of a great man.

Worthy of being a fan.

"All right, I'll treat you as reasonable." Putting down the cup, Jiang Wen squinted and said with a smile: "But it's not enough to just be picky, do you have any suggestions?"

It's not that he doesn't understand the film market, he is also worried about this book in his heart.

As Yang Rui said, if he really doesn't care at all, he doesn't need to ask other people's opinions at all, he can just find investment and start shooting.

But he knows the market and the audience, and he has long been spoiled by the single-threaded account. One or two foreshadowing flashbacks in the plot are called "complicated", and three or four detours are already "brain-burning". Once this "Nine Twists and Eighteen Bends" movie is auditioned, I'm afraid it will become a holy book.

In fact, many friends and investors have already reminded me of this point, but it is easy to find out the problem, but it is difficult to solve it.

So he also wants to see if there is any reliable way for this newly rising supernova genius in the entertainment industry.

Yang Rui thought for a while, and then spit out two words: "Split."

Jiang Wen was taken aback for a moment, "Be more specific."

"The reason why this book is obscure is partly because you need to avoid some sensitive points, so you need to insinuate it. This part is temporarily unresolved, and the other part is because you are too ambitious and want to squeeze out a big bowl of fillings. The essence is wrapped in a dumpling skin, but it turns out to be unpalatable.”

"Actually, you can separate the fillings and make dumplings in batches, so that even if the fillings are a little abstract, everyone can at least taste the dumplings."

Jiang Wen stared blankly at Yang Rui, her eyes flickering.

"Good boy, good boy..."

Bang!
He suddenly jumped up, opened the door and shouted: "Xu Da Niu, this kid will lend me a few days!"
