Chapter 340 Script

This year’s National Day schedule is packed with movies.

Nearly 1 films, including "Tai Chi 10 from Scratch" and "Dangerous Liaisons", entered the audience's horizons almost every day and became the main program in theaters during the "National Day" period.

However, it is also known as "the most tragic National Day holiday in history", with a total movie box office of only 3.7 million yuan nationwide.

"Tai Chi 1 from Scratch", "Dangerous Liaisons", "Double Exposure" and "Looper" are fighting fiercely. They tried their best, but all of them were defeated.

Although the number of shows increased by nearly 5% compared to last year, the total box office increased by less than 1% compared with last year, and the number of visitors increased by less than % year-on-year.

According to previous expectations, the domestic movie box office this year is expected to break through the 180 billion mark, but when the "Golden Nine and Silver Ten" failed, this goal has been suspended.

The shortlist for the Golden Horse Awards was also announced recently, but what caused greater controversy was that Huang Bo became the host of this year's list.

From receiving awards, presenting awards, serving as a judge to being the host, Huang Bo, who has been invited to attend the Golden Horse Awards for four consecutive years, has become a highlight. At the same time, some netizens have questioned why local talents in Baodao are ignored.

"Really, I'm just a host, that's all."

Liu Yifei was indignant at Baodao netizens questioning her classmates.

Li Mu laughed and said nothing. Regional protectionism will always exist.

Back at Mengying, the adaptation rights that Li Mu wanted have been obtained.

Li Mu planned to ask his own screenwriter to revise the first draft to save some effort.

The screenwriters listened to Li Mu's story with great interest. After all, this was a rare opportunity. Li Mu, a famous director, was unique in the industry in terms of screenwriting skills.

After explaining the screenwriter, Jiang Wen also made a phone call casually.

"have time?"

"You tell me something first. Regarding your matter, I'm thinking about whether I have time."

Li Mu responded with a smile.

"In two days, Li Na will play in the first round of the China Open. Do you want to come and see it together?" Jiang Wen said angrily.

"Since when did you like to watch this stuff?"

"Zhou Yun likes to watch it. I plan to take my son to watch the game along the way. You can take Yifei with you."

Li Mu thought about it for a while, but still refused. If he went, there would most likely be another discussion about the script of "One Step Away", which would be too troublesome.

"Forget it, Sissi likes to play go-karts, I can take her there to play that."

Although this was a recommendation, Li Mu and Liu Yifei actually went to go karting the next day, and Shu Chang, the big light bulb, was also there.

Wearing a helmet and gloves, Liu Yifei drives a go-kart unambiguously. She is full of energy and has a bit of wildness, which is quite different from the inherent impression she gives people.

"Stimulate."

Liu Yifei took off her helmet, took the water from Li Mu, and drank a few gulps.

"Drive slower behind me, you won't be able to catch up."

Shu Chang complained, almost overtaking her.

"It's so boring to drive so slowly."

After Li Mu followed for a few laps, he felt that it was not very interesting. Racing was more interesting.

"By the way, Guo Jingming wants me to star in "Little Times"." Shu Chang subconsciously remembered this matter.

Li Mu didn't expect that Guo Jingming would actually find Shu Chang, but it was normal when he thought about it. After all, Shu Chang has a lot of fans in the industry now, and several of the movies he starred in were box office hits.

"Are you going to agree?"

Liu Yifei asked subconsciously.

"I should refuse, but I haven't read the script yet."

"Ah Mu, what do you think of "Little Times"?" Liu Yifei looked at Li Mu. After all, Li Mu was always very accurate in watching movies.

Even Shu Chang, who was about to refuse, looked over.

"We haven't even started filming yet, so how do I know, but it's such a big crossover for a cross-border director, so there's no need to take it on."

Li Mu said lightly.

This movie can be said to have caused a lot of turmoil in the industry. It's not that it's said to be very good, but it's because there are so few, but the box office is still a bit outrageous.

Shu Chang nodded, she didn't want to waste her popularity like this.

The next day, Guo Jingming received the news that Shu Chang refused to appear in "Little Times".

"Hey"

It's a pity for Guo Jingming. Shu Chang's fans and fame are what he needs for this movie, but it's a pity that others are unwilling to come.

He needs to consider asking other people with fans and reputations to support the movie.

In his eyes, as long as the novel is popular and the actors are popular, there is no need to worry about whether the movie will make a profit at the box office.

"It is reported that Shu Chang will star in "Little Times", and the actor confirmed before tomorrow is Chen Xuedong. The remaining starring roles are temporarily to be determined."

As soon as the news came out, many actors wanted to give it a try. After all, it is a movie, and it is also an adaptation of a novel, so it is well-known.

"Mimi, I think you can give it a try."

Zeng Jia seems to want to win this role for Yang Mi.

"It's okay to play a role that others don't want. It's better than not having a movie to play in."

Yang Mi said helplessly.

The first version of the script for "The Tuner" has been written by the screenwriters of Mengying Media. Li Mu will change the rest himself.

At night, the breeze blows outside the window and the curtains sway gently, bringing a touch of coolness into the bedroom.

White light fills the room, giving the entire space a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

Li Mu was sitting at his desk, holding a black pen in his hand and writing the script attentively.

Compared with the short film, the script of the feature film "The Tuner" is quite different in plot processing, and the creation of a thriller atmosphere needs to be downplayed.

And Li Mu also changed some plot settings.

Because some plots in the Indian version of the movie are questionable in terms of dramatization.

For example, after Simi pushed down the neighbor who could indirectly reveal the truth, Beethoven's "Symphony of Destiny" was chosen for the soundtrack.

Li Mu can understand the director's intention to express the dark and cruel fate that befell the male protagonist.

However, the murderer's face is shown in more scenes than the male protagonist, which makes the murderer seem a bit tragic, as if the murderer is fighting against fate.

If it is not accompanied by a symphony, environmental sounds and close-ups of faces may be able to render a more cruel situation.

Li Mu wrote the script and followed two lines and two stories.

One story is the intersection between the male protagonist and the female protagonist.

One story is based on the original story of a man who pretends to be blind and witnesses a murder and is put in danger.

The story structure can be simply summarized into two parts. The first half of the movie is about the love between the male protagonist and the restaurant owner’s daughter Sophie, while the second half is about the male protagonist falling into danger and dealing with various forces.

Liu Yifei held her head in her hands and was wearing light pajamas. Her long hair was gently spread over her shoulders. The soft light from the desk lamp looked quite alluring.

At this moment, she sat quietly next to him, watching Li Mu's creative process, her eyes full of appreciation and curiosity.

One of her greatest pleasures is watching good stories emerge bit by bit from Li Mu's hands.

"Next time, go to more film festivals and be a judge, so you can tell more stories."

Liu Yifei is very interested in the humanity shown in the script. Compared with popcorn movies, this kind of movie fascinates her more.

".What are you thinking in your head? It's so easy to create a good story, and this is an adapted short film."

Li Mu gently tapped Liu Yifei's head with a pen.

"Huh, you've been knocking me all day long, and you've knocked me stupid."

Li Mu chuckled lightly and hugged him directly. They could feel each other's body temperature through their thin pajamas.

"Don't write anymore?"

Liu Yifei blushed and asked stammering.

"No more writing. Let's draw the storyboard tomorrow."

However, as a director, while writing the script, he must also draw the storyboard.

The so-called storyboard script is an intermediate medium that converts text into three-dimensional audio-visual images, designs corresponding pictures, configures music and sound, and controls the rhythm and style of the film.

The role of the storyboard script is like the blueprint of a building. It is the basis and blueprint for photographers to shoot and editors to carry out post-production. It is also the basis for actors and all creative staff to understand the director's intention, understand the content of the script, and re-create.

In the industry, scripts are for actors to read, while storyboards are for directors to read.

But now many directors no longer draw storyboards, which is okay, but Li Mu has always had this habit.

Li Mu directly abandoned the script. Compared with the script, Liu Yifei at this moment is more attractive.

There is also a faint scent of shampoo on the hair.

The lips and tongues of the two people have begun to entangle with each other. Liu Yifei's eyes are gentle and charming, as if telling the longing deep in her heart.

Li Mu pressed his hand and the lights went out.

But in this bedroom, the temperature between the two of them gradually increased.

Li Mu is reclusive these days, but even so, he did not escape the sensation caused by Mo Yan.

After Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for Literature, it quickly triggered a series of chain reactions.

Of course, the ones related to Li Mu are film and television works.

Industry insiders say that Mo Yan's novels are a rich mine of film and television themes, with strong storytelling. Compared with the works of other writers, the adaptations of his novels have become blockbuster movies.

Even Mo Yan said that if directors could one day put works such as "Big Breasts and Wide Hips", "Life and Death Fatigue" and "Sandalwood Punishment" on the screen, he would be willing to serve as a screenwriter.

Netizens like to join in the fun and call out the major production companies, especially Mengying Media and Li Mu, who are among the most popular, including Zhang Yimou. After all, "Red Sorghum" was originally written by Mo Yan.

"I really can't shoot these novels." Li Mu couldn't laugh or cry. These works of Mo Yan should not be shot by his generation.

It would be appropriate to leave it to Tian Zhuangzhuang and Zhang Yimou.

Li Mu didn't bother to pay attention and continued to write the script of "The Tuner" at home and draw the storyboard script.

At this time, news has quietly spread in the industry.

"It is reported that director Li Mu is writing a new script and the new movie may start shooting this year."

Although it is hearsay, it has attracted the attention of many people.

After all, you have to look at who the director is.

Many people secretly took note of it. If the gossip was true, then it wouldn't be long before there was definite news.
