Chapter 195 It’s so dark
Zhang Huanchun seemed to have regained his vitality. He knocked on the table excitedly, "Hahaha, I attended the wedding of the girl I had a crush on when I was a student. It turned out that the beauty back then married a bald old man. All the classmates did well, except Charlotte. He is a taxi driver..."
Zhang Huanchun's mind changed too quickly. One second he was inviting Sun Tao to be the leading actor. Sun Tao just put down his knife and fork and was about to wave his hand to refuse. Before he could say no, no, no, the other person had already begun to figure out the plot.
Sun Tao waved his hands like a fool and said nothing, looking stupid.
Looking left and right, the waiters were all far away. I guess they had seen too many celebrities and leaders and they knew not to come forward in such an occasion.
If no one sees it, it's not embarrassing.
Sun Tao coughed and said, "Ahem, Director Zhang, Charlotte, the protagonist is called Charlotte, and the name of the movie is Charlotte. Special Troubles."
"Oh, it means Charlotte, don't worry, hahahaha, Charlotte, don't worry, I still can't explain it clearly.
I was still thinking about why the main character had to have a foreign name. Hmm~~ It’s interesting. Oh, the audience is burdened with the plot before they even see it. ”
Zhang Huanchun continued: "Then this Charlotte drank to drown her sorrows. After drinking too much, he woke up and found himself in a high school classroom. Then he thought he was dreaming and provoked the teacher!"
Zhang Huanchun's expression became serious as he spoke. He reached out to the waiter for pen and paper, "Attending a wedding and being reborn in the classroom is a small climax!
Scene 1: Hotel; Scene 2: Classroom.
Actors: Middle-aged Charlotte, Charlotte’s wife, teachers, classmates; about 3 to 5 adult actors. Charlotte needs a group of young people. This is not difficult to do. Students from the film school are also willing to participate..."< br>
Zhang Huanchun stopped and tapped the table twice, "By the way, I just asked you to play the male lead, is that okay?"
Sun Tao smiled helplessly, thinking he had forgotten.
He put down his knife and fork for the second time and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I definitely can't. I know nothing about acting."
Zhang Huanchun raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Although you didn't say Charlotte's specific age just now, you see, provoking teachers, falling in love, fighting with gangsters outside school, you are too young to be able to do these things, and you are definitely not too old to be able to do these things. , I think it is more appropriate for young Charlotte to be in the second grade of high school.
How old are you this year? ”
Sun Tao pointed at himself, "Me? I'm 18 years old. I'm still half a year away from turning 19. In 1984, I was 20 years old."
"How old are the sophomores in high school?" Zhang Huanchun poured himself a glass of red wine and shook it leisurely, "Haha, he is 16~17 years old, and his actual age is 18~19. Because he was reborn in his 40s, he must be more mature than his classmates. That’s reasonable.”
Zhang Huanchun pointed his finger at Sun Tao and said, "Look, I feel like you tailor-made this story for yourself."
Sun Tao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I didn't even go to high school."
Zhang Huanchun curled his lips, "Then you can make up for the regrets in your heart and experience a high school life in a movie. If I want to film a campus story, I will definitely find a serious high school. Although Changying is no longer available, I can find a high school to borrow a few rooms. I can easily make a movie in the classroom and invite teachers and classmates to make guest appearances.”
Seeing that Sun Tao was still hesitating, Zhang Huanchun took action one after another, "Think about it, I definitely can't find adult actors to play a high school sophomore. What acting experience do those freshmen and sophomores in the film school have?
Besides, you are not an amateur anymore. Big scenes are not uncommon. You wrote the entire script. The person who wrote the story must have a deeper understanding of the protagonist's psychological state than the readers. Even if you think about it carefully, the designer Xia When you created Luo as a character, was there any trace of yourself in him?
It’s you. And if you don’t tell secrets, I have no intention of paying you screenwriting fees, and I’m also going to save you the cost of a starring role..."
No money! Sun Tao immediately couldn't swallow the beef in his mouth.
"Hahaha, alas!"
Zhang Huanchun laughed for a while, and then lamented softly, "I really have no money. I owe Old Nose the wages of the employees. If there is even a penny in the account, I..."
Sun Tao waved his hand and said, "Let's take it this way, count my investment, and you share three to five points of the movie's box office, but it's not too much."
Zhang Huanchun, "Three percent of the box office, if it can be filmed, released, and people watch it, I will give you three percent of the box office, two percent for the screenwriter, and one percent for the starring role."
Sun Tao smiled and shook his head, "It doesn't matter whether you have it or not. You are still so stingy! I'll do whatever you want, but this..."
Zhang Huanchun smiled and said, "I understand. Sign the contract first. After signing the contract, you can start writing the script."
Sun Taoxin said, "After all, you are a person in the show, and the tiger will not fall until it dies."
Sun Tao, "I don't mean that, I mean if you really don't have a penny, we won't be able to shoot it!"
Zhang Huanchun lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I am somewhat famous personally, and some people trust me, so I will go out of my way to attract some investment. Like you, I promise to give them a share of the box office."
Make a desperate move, fight against the odds, and fight against the odds. Some people have succeeded in doing this, but most of them have failed.
A strong man cannot compete with his life! Many heroes are unknown in history because of this.
Sun Tao glanced at Zhang Huanchun, and suddenly remembered a joke: I am General Pan Feng, and I can share my name with the generals!
Who says Pan Feng is not a hero? Didn't he just meet Lu Bu?
In Sun Tao's memory, there is no one like Zhang Huanchun in the entertainment industry. Perhaps in his last life, he just made a desperate move and lost...
Sun Tao also poured himself a glass of red wine and took a sip, "Okay! I will risk my life to accompany you..."
"Oh! What are you doing?"
Sun Tao was stunned for a moment and said in his heart, "I am just making a statement, why are you still not satisfied?"
Zhang Huanchun looked at him helplessly, "Why are you drinking it yourself? Just touch it!
Oops, they say they would risk their lives to accompany a gentleman. Look at your stinginess, what can you do with just one sip of it? If you are full, have a glass of wine, and then say that you will sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman, and then finish it off in one gulp, then you will have the courage to do it. ”
……
Red wine is a bit sour at first, but after a few sips you will feel a bit sweet and slightly aromatic.
Drinks like a drink...
Sun Tao was forced to say "risk your life to accompany a gentleman" again and drank a glass of red wine.
Zhang Huanchun checked off the screenwriter and the leading actor on the paper and muttered, "It's free."
"Okay, let's continue. In addition to the male protagonist, there are two beautiful female high school students. One is your dream lover: Qiu Ya; one is your future wife: Ma Dongmei; two boys, one is love rival Yuan Hua, and the other is It’s brother Dachun…”
Sun Tao asked out of nowhere, "What kind of plum is Ma?"
"Ma Dongmei, didn't you come up with the name?" Zhang Huanchun gave Sun Tao a strange look.
"Teacher Wang, the principal, Charlotte's mother, a bunch of gangsters...well..."
Zhang Huanchun pondered for a moment, "Well, it can be done, and it doesn't cost much. Let's continue. After Charlotte was reborn, she became a pop star by copying later songs.
Well, who exactly did he copy? This person cannot be unknown. If he is not famous, the audience will not recognize him. If he is too famous, copyright is a problem..."
In the original play, it was a stage play that aired in 2015. In the play, Charlotte copied Jay Chou. There was also a scene where Charlotte beat Jay Chou violently in a talent show, saying that he had changed his lyrics randomly.
In fact, this place is very detailed, but you won’t understand it if you don’t look carefully.
Just like Sun Tao, there will be subtle differences between the lyrics he writes now and the original songs. Even some songs like "Half Pot of Sha" have the same climax, and the other parts are lyrics he and Li Xiaojun piled up according to rhymes... If When you meet the original author at this time, you may feel that the lyrics are flawed...
Sun Tao hesitated for a moment, it was 2003 and Jay Chou was very good, but there was no "In the Name of the Father", no "Nocturne", no "Qili Xiang", "Huo Yuanjia", "Thousands of Miles Away", "East Wind Break", " Blue and white porcelain》......
Just with "Nunchaku" and "Love in BC", he is not the first person in the Chinese music scene.
Sun Tao hesitated... Who was the number one person in the Chinese music scene in 2003? He was too old. Andy Lau and the others had already become famous. Even if the story begins in 2003, let's go back ten years, 92 and 93. By that time, the Four Heavenly Kings had already existed, and even earlier, Teresa Teng was still the voice of Mi Mi...
Sun Tao was confused.
"Hey, Sun Tao, have you ever thought about it? If we set the start time of the story to 2017, then it will be easier for us to shoot. Now everything is shot in real locations, which saves money. In 2017, we will follow the current Europe, the United States and Japan imagine what will develop in 15 years..."
"Hiss!" Sun Tao nodded, "Yeah! It's not impossible. Just imagine what it will be like in 15 years. I'm the best at this."
Zhang Huanchun looked at Sun Tao with a smile, "Suppose that in 2017, the godfather of the Chinese pop music scene is Sun Tao, and Xia Luo copies Sun Tao's songs... In this way, we can even settle the copyright matter. Xia Luo wrote "Down the Mountain" and "Buddha" in 1997 Gua"
Sun Tao looked at Zhang Huanchun in confusion, it was so dark, he was going to boil all the bones and dregs of Sun Tao into oil!
Zhang Huanchun shook his wine glass, "You have to write a few more songs and put them all as movie soundtracks..."
