A widower's entertainment

Chapter 210 [Screenwriter’s Agreement] (Please subscribe)
Why Jiang Wen was recommended to play the role of Li Tiangu was naturally because Lin Youcheng thought Jiang Wen was suitable.

Lin Youcheng looked at Jiang Wen and said, "After watching your previous plays, I think you are very suitable for the role of Li Tiangu."

"To be honest, I wanted to play your role from the beginning, and I also planned to direct and star in your film "Tengu". But I didn't expect that the martial arts director here would already be filming "Tengu" and asked me to play Li Tengu."

Jiang Wen looked at Lin Youcheng and said, "The martial arts director told me that you recommended me to play this role, and I came here with the martial arts director to visit you."

Lin Youcheng listened to Jiang Wen's words, waved his hands and said, "I'm just mentioning that the final decision is made by the martial arts director."

Zheng Xiaolong also knew Wu Ziniu and Jiang Wen. After hearing Lin Youcheng's words, he understood that Lin Youcheng's novel "Tiangu" was going to be made into a movie by Wu Ziniu, and the leading actor Li Tiangu was probably made of Jiang Wen stars.

Zheng Xiaolong thought about what Jiang Wen said just now, that he also wanted to direct and act by himself, and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Jiang Wen, do you also plan to be a director yourself?"

Jiang Wen nodded and said, "I do have such an idea."

Feng Pengtong and You Xiaogang, who were sitting aside, made no noise. One of them was an art artist and the other was an assistant director. In their hearts, they actually wanted to be directors themselves, but it was obvious that both of them knew that they were in Beijing TV Arts. The center is afraid that it will take a long time before it has the opportunity to let them serve as directors and be responsible for the filming of TV series.

"That's great. If there is a chance later, our Beijing Television Art Center can ask you to film a TV series."

There is no way, who made the Palme d'Or's status in the film industry too high.

Naturally, everyone present knew the novel "Tengu" and had read the plots in it, so they knew very well how many sensitive plots there were in this novel.

"Just because we were worried about the sensitive plot, no one here has been filming the novel "The Devotion of Suspect X", otherwise we wouldn't have let the director from Baodao get there first and win the Palme d'Or."

When Jiang Wen heard what Zheng Xiaolong said, he shook his head and said, "I want to make a movie."

Zheng Xiaolong was not angry because Jiang Wen said that he wanted to make a movie instead of a TV series. He just said, "It will not be easy for you guys to make the novel "Tengu"."

Jiang Wen said nonchalantly: "But that is also a true story. Even if it is not a true story, the movie can still be adapted."

Hearing Jiang Wen's words, Feng Pengtong and You Xiaogang were naturally even more envious. They didn't have the confidence to say that they wanted to make a movie. After all, they didn't even have the chance to make a TV series, let alone talk about making a movie.

Speaking of the latter, even Jiang Wen could not help but feel a little envious in his words.

"The plot of this novel is still a bit bold and a bit sensitive."

You must know that unlike the Oscars, which balance business and art, the Palme d'Or pays more attention to the artistry of movies. Compared with the Venice and Berlin Film Festivals, which are two of the top three, the Cannes Film Festival has a more transcendent status in the hearts of some filmmakers. Winning the Palme d'Or is tantamount to winning the highest honor in life.

This is why even in the Mainland, there is discussion about Hou Xiaoxian winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

"Even if we direct the filming ourselves, we may not be able to win the Palme d'Or. It's not a matter of priority." Hearing this, Lin Youcheng couldn't help but nodded. Director Hou Xiaoxian was able to win the Palme d'Or with "The Devotion of Suspect X". It will be because of simple and low-level reasons that I won the Palme d'Or.

Jiang Wen looked at Lin Youcheng and said, "By the way, I really hope to cooperate with you, Teacher Lin, and go to the three major film festivals together."

"Nowadays, many directors want to cooperate with Lin Youcheng. Who can let Youcheng? He is such a great screenwriter."

Zheng Xiaolong smiled and said, "Have you watched the TV series "The Wind"?"

When Jiang Wen heard that Zheng Xiaolong asked him which drama he had watched "The Wind", he couldn't help but smile and said: "Of course I have. Teacher Lin's script is really well written."

Jiang Wen actually watched the recently aired and very popular TV series "The Wind". He was still confused at first, wondering why he dared to film the TV series version when there was a movie version of Zhu Yu in front of him.

However, Jiang Wen was still quite shocked after watching the TV series version.

Because the script has changed, it’s long gone

In Jiang Wen's view, film, television dramas and novels are both artistic creations. What is interesting is that the type and method of film and television dramas being produced are greatly affected by the current society. Just like the recently popular TV series "The Wind", many things in the original novel are hidden in the text. Some people will see this side, and some people will see that side. There are many unspeakable things, depending on where you start. Look at it from one side.

On the one hand, Li Ningyu is an underground party member who is willing to sacrifice and sacrifice himself for the country. He remains calm in the face of danger, is resourceful and brave, and can use all the resources around him and do anything in any way just to complete the task in extremely dangerous situations. He is an iron man. On the other hand, she is not so real as a person, she is like a machine, a machine that completes tasks. She is cold, ruthless, smart and sharp, and can see through people's hearts. She doesn't mind taking advantage of anyone. She is always ready to take advantage of others. Everyday Imitate other people's handwriting and be ready to blame you at any time. This is not some cold-faced sister who secretly protects you. This is a real devil. She stays calm and has an online IQ every second, and is good at finding breakthroughs from everywhere.

Although she knew the situation was not good when she arrived at Qiuzhuang, Li Ningyu had no time to think about herself. All her efforts were spent on finding ways to deliver the news. In the end, all other methods failed. She found a breakthrough in Gu Xiaomeng and found out in a few words that she was a member of the military commander. Since there are common interests, there is a hole that can be broken through. She alternates between hot and cold, soft and hard, and uses strong emotions. This frightened and stunned the little girl Gu Xiaomeng, who was just starting out. She had to follow her own arrangements, even though she was dead. , but it allows others to complete the subsequent tasks according to their own wishes.

Jiang Wen had also watched this drama, and was also shocked by Li Ningyu's appearance of kneeling on the ground and kowtowing violently in the dark night.

In particular, Jiang Wen actually admires Lin Youcheng, the screenwriter. You must know that the audience has not experienced so much education in spy films, and professional understanding of Morse code, reasoning, etc. is still new, and naturally it is quite novel. place.

"Teacher Lin, we must cooperate in the future!"

Jiang Wen looked at Lin Youcheng and said seriously: "If I really become a director in the future, you must write a good script for me."

When Lin Youcheng heard what Jiang Wen said, he was about to nod and reply when his daughter Lin Zhaomei ran over and said with a smile: "Dad, I also want to be a director."

"Ok, I know."

Lin Youcheng did not answer Jiang Wen. He looked at his daughter Lin Zhaomei who ran to him, but what he was thinking was that if Lin Zhaomei really became a director, then he, as a father, would naturally write a good book for her.
