In the conference room, the pilot episode of the first and second episodes of "Wrangler" ended.
Lu Xiaowei and Zheng Xiaolong hurriedly asked: "What do you think of Teacher Fang?"
"Very good."
Fang Yan said: "If the following drama If this episode can continue the level of these two episodes, it will definitely be a successful TV series.”
Including Su Ya, everyone in the TV series studio is happy and excited.
"We feel relieved because of Teacher Fang's words."
Lu Xiaowei breathed out, "Originally, everyone had been worried that the rough scenery would ruin the audience's viewing experience..."
"The most important plot of a TV series is to attract people. Everything else is secondary."
Fang Yan waved his hand. Compared with the cheapness of Fu Huadao and the shoddy scenery, there is no way it can compare with TVB Hong Kong dramas.
But even Hong Kong dramas such as "The Swordsman", "Dragon" and "The Legend of Qin" are still considered classics due to the superb acting skills of the actors despite the limitations of cheap sets and costume props. , and the ups and downs of the plot, make the audience subconsciously ignore the false scenes.
In later generations, there may be a lot of funding and the scenery may be beautiful, but the martial arts scenes are shot like a three-year-old playing house!
"It makes sense! It makes sense!"
Zheng Xiaolong and Lu Xiaowei looked at each other, then lowered their voices: "I heard from Su Ya that Wang Shuo intended to make "The Stewardess" "Leave it to our factory to adapt it into a TV series"
Fang Yan nodded: "How about this, how about I call him to have lunch together?"
"This is really great!" Zheng Xiaolong was overjoyed: " Teacher Fang, I’m sorry to trouble you.”
…………
“Dingling bell~”
“Dingling bell~”
Wang Shuo put on a pair of sandals and ran into the study. , picked up the phone: "Hello, who is this? Teacher Fang!"
Hearing "Teacher Fang", Ye Jing immediately ran from the living room to the door of the study with a popsicle in her mouth. .
Wang Shuo hung up the phone amid a flurry of responses.
"Why is Teacher Fang looking for you again?" Ye Jing blinked, "I'm not going to treat you to dinner again, am I?"
Wang Shuo said: "You got half of your answers right, but It’s not Teacher Fang who’s treating us, it’s Yanjing TV Drama Studio "
Ye Jing was startled, "Isn't it? This seems to be a banquet specially organized by the studio for Teacher Fang. Why did Teacher Fang ask you to go again?"
" What you said is that you are looking down on me, brother!”
Wang Shuo rolled his eyes and picked up the script from the table, "Brother, I'm going to make a fortune this time. "Stewardess" is going to be made into a TV series, do you understand?"
"I understand! It's the one recommended by Teacher Fang again. Isn’t that right?”
Ye Jing’s words were sour, it would be great to be a bitch for Teacher Fang! Yes, I want to be one too!
Wang Shuodao: "Don't say that my brother is unjust, do you want to go with me to eat delicious food and drink spicy food?"
Ye Jing was surprised and happy, "I can go too?"
"Yes, Teacher Fang said this is a private party and asked me to call Acheng too."
Wang Shuo touched him lightly with his elbow, "You must seize this opportunity. , whether you can enter the studio depends on your luck."
Ye Jing smiled and said, "If you can get close to Teacher Fang's thick and long thigh, I'll invite you to Lao Mo and give him a good rub."
Then he asked about the Yanjing TV series The studio held the banquet at the Peace Hotel.
…………
Wangfujing, Jinyu Alley.
When Wang Shuo and Ye Jing brought Zhong Acheng to the hotel, Fang Yan, Zheng Xiaolong and others were already seated.
Although Wang Shuo laughed and cursed when he wrote the novel, he was so shy when facing strangers, especially when facing so many strangers.
Especially when I met Feng Xiaogang for the first time, I felt even more uncomfortable. Teacher Wang was always the superior and the inferior.
“How dare I call myself teacher in front of Teacher Fang!”
Wang Shuo was so frightened that he said, "You should call me by my name."
"In my eyes, you two are both teachers." Feng Xiaogang grinned, showing his rotten teeth.
Ye Jing saw this and said, "He has nothing worthy of your praise so much. Are you trying to get something?"
Feng Xiaogang said: "I really don't have anything. Tu, I just like it, I spit it out quickly."
Seeing him pouring wine for Fang Yan, Wang Shuo immediately became anxious and grabbed the bottle. How can you get this job? Do it!
Ye Jing looked at this "crooked" man up and down, and reminded secretly:
"This girl bullies the superiors and flatters the inferiors, and has a slippery tongue. She is definitely not a good thing."
< br>"That's right!"
Wang Shuo curled his lips, feeling uncomfortable when he thought of the way he fawned over the dialect just now.
Teacher Fang’s scoundrel is me, not you! Are you trying to take my seat?
Feeling the inexplicable hostility, Feng Xiaogang was puzzled. Didn't I just want to help Teacher Fang? Who did I provoke?
“Come, come, cheers!”
Under Zheng Xiaolong’s call, everyone raised their glasses.
Fang Yan took a sip of wine and said, "Actually, the TV series "Wrangler" is a little bit literary."
Lu Xiaowei said in surprise: "Why did Teacher Fang say this?"
"The movie "Wrangler" is positioned as a literary film, so the narrative and shooting are both literary."
Fang Yan said: "But TV series are different. Who usually watches TV series?"
Wang Shuo didn’t even think about it. "Of course it's the common people!"
"Yes! We have to shoot what the common people like to watch.""
Fang Yan said with a smile: "The common people like to watch "Blood Suspense", maybe we can make a picture of "Blood Suspense". The new "Wrangler" was shot based on the idea of "Doubt". ”
Lu Xiaowei, Su Ya, Zheng Xiaolong and others looked at each other.
“Originally, the original manuscript of "Wrangler" was not like the one in the movie, but because the ending must be bright, it was changed to this."
Fang Yan did not hide anything, saying that Xu Lingjun and Xiu Another version of Chi's story.
Xu Lingjun could not resist the temptation and threw Xiuzhi and her children into the Qilian Mountains, becoming "Chen Shimei" who abandoned his wife and children.
After returning to the United States, she married a wife and had a daughter. Xiuzhi worked hard to bring her son up and was admitted to college. Their children met and fell in love by chance in Yanjing, and they waited until they got married. When discussing marriage, Xu Lingjun and Xiuzhi, as their parents, came to meet their in-laws.
As a result, the two men's half-parents were exposed.
Brother-sister love, terminal illness, amnesia, car accident...
A bitter ethical drama that immediately shocked everyone present.
Su Ya opened her mouth, this is simply an enhanced version of "Blood Doubt", involving the love-hate entanglement between two generations!
“Thunderstorm seems to be incorporated into this...”
Lu Xiaowei noticed this, and Zheng Xiaolong also noticed this.
I even thought that if I filmed "The Wrangler" according to Mr. Fang's version of the story, it would not cause controversy in society. Secondly, the key is that it would definitely be more popular than "Blood Doubt", and it would definitely do so in terms of ratings. It's hard to tell if it's a one-stop show and it's popular all over the country.
"Of course, we can't shoot like this now."
Fang Yan said: "The images of Xu Lingjun and Xiuzhi have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so we can't mess with it. After all, adaptation is not random editing."< br>
Feng Xiaogang was the first to stand up and say: "Yes, yes, yes, Teacher Fang is so right!"
"What a pity, what a pity."
Lu Xiaowei and Zheng Xiaolong were just the opposite, with regret in their voices. Why didn't they think of this? As expected of Teacher Fang, they were standing on the third floor, and Teacher Fang was already standing on the fifth floor!
Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the dinner table, Fang Yan turned his head and looked at Wang Shuo:
"Did you bring the script of "Stewardess"?"< br>
"I brought it, but what Teacher Fang said just now..."
Wang Shuo felt a little ashamed. The script he wrote was too rough, and the love between the flight attendant and the demobilized navy soldier seemed childish.
Zheng Xiaolong couldn't wait to say: "It's still the first draft stage, you can make changes again."
Wang Shuo solemnly said: "Yes, I plan to make a good change according to the ideas provided by Teacher Fang. Change."
"How are you going to change?" Fang Yan said.
Lu Xiaowei, Su Ya and others were also very curious and cast their eyes on him.
Wang Shuo took a sip of wine and bravely said that originally it was written that the stewardess fell in love with the navy soldier until the navy soldier was demobilized and pursued her decisively and boldly. Just when the two were about to have good things come true, The flight the stewardess was on was involved in an accident and she was killed in the crash.
But now, elements such as terminal illness, amnesia, and car accidents must be made good use of.
"Teacher Fang, do you think this change is appropriate?"
His eyes rolled, inspiration came to him, and he said that the naval soldier went to the hospital for treatment due to occasional physical discomfort, but unexpectedly the diagnosis result was unexpected. He contracted an incurable disease called 'myasthenic disease' and suddenly fell into despair.
While working, the flight attendant was immersed in the joy of pre-wedding and had already revealed the good news of her marriage to her best friend.
However, after the navy soldier calmed down, in order not to drag down the young stewardess, he decided to conceal his condition from her and break up with her. He also endured the heartache and kicked her out. As a result, the stewardess’ best friend knew the truth and chose Stay and take care of the navy warriors.
"Then during the process of taking care of her, my best friend also fell in love with this good man who sacrificed for love."
Fang Yan took over the conversation: "And the stewardess also discovered the truth. "
"The one who knows me is Teacher Fang!"
Wang Shuo slapped the table, "The two women turned against each other because of him, so this is the love triangle."
"This...this..."
The plot elements are too complicated, Zheng Xiaolong, Su Ya and others did not fully digest it for a while.
Fang Yan suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, isn't this the plot of "My Love Will Never Be Lost"! It was directed by Feng Xiaogang Pao!
Wang Shuo asked: "The stewardess regretted it after all. The more miserable the man was, the better. Everyone was moved by them and burst into laughter in the end."
When everyone heard this, they were all amused by him.
Wang Shuo disagreed and only cared about Fang Yan's opinion, "What do you think?"
Fang Yan said: "This is a bit vulgar, why not change it to the hero's comfort and encouragement from his best friend? Xia finally responded to this love, and the two reconciled. But the plane the flight attendant and her best friend were traveling on crashed, and she also lost the courage to live..."
"Hiss~"
Su Ya took a breath, nothing happened. Thinking that he was so cold and cruel, he killed all the protagonists with one knife.
Zheng Xiaolong hesitated and asked: "Isn't this ending too sad?"
Wang Shuo's eyes lit up, "Tragedy is the best! If it's not sad, how can we make the people cry!"
Su Ya was stunned, "But..."
"This is just like when I watched Teacher Fang's "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" "The same."
Wang Shuo said: "If Lao San had not died, he and Jing Qiu would have had a happy ending, but I think such a novel is just a vulgar work, but Lao San is dead, and Jingqiu lives, such a regretful ending, such a painful tragedy, makes the work sublime all of a sudden. ”
"The real tragedy is to tear beautiful things into pieces for others to see!"
Ye Jing added, "Teacher Fang obviously has the essence of Mr. Lu Xun."
Look. As the two of them complimented the dialect, Feng Xiaogang slowly figured out that they were Teacher Fang's henchmen!
No wonder it’s so unpleasant to see myself flattering Teacher Fang!
When I thought of this, I looked at Fang Yan on the left and Wang Shuo on the right. I had an idea and it didn't stump me at all.
Since I can't hug Teacher Fang's thigh, I might as well do the next best thing and hug Wang Shuo's thigh.
Teacher Fang’s bad behavior is indirectly equivalent to Teacher Fang’s bad behavior!
In short, it is his honor to be Teacher Fang’s bitch. He is shameless and doesn’t care, because he really wants to make progress!
………………
While changing glasses, everyone used this as inspiration to discuss the outline of the story, make up stories to enrich the plot, and design the fate of the characters.
Finally, the new "Stewardess" script was handed over to Su Yalai to write, while Lu Xiaowei and Zheng Xiaolong served as directors.
At the same time, in a harmonious and cheerful atmosphere, the first generation of Beijing circles with dialects as the core was initially formed.
Of course, Feng Xiaogang can only be regarded as a non-staff member. Whether he can become a regular employee depends on his "performance".
Amidst the shouts of "Teacher Fang, walk slowly", Fang Yan said goodbye to everyone and specially took a taxi called "Yellow Chong".
The reason why it is called "Yellow Chong" is because cars have not yet entered households in Sijiu City at this time. Minivans are mainly used as taxis, and this type of model is basically yellow. Although it is It's fuel-efficient and can go fast, but in the middle of summer, it's just a big steamer.
Fang Yan felt like sitting on a stove, unbearably hot and sweating profusely.
The key is, the price is too expensive, a 10-kilometer ticket is a big deal!
When I got home, the clothes on my back were all soaked, and I happened to be bumped into by Gong Qie:
“Take off quickly, get a basin of water, and wipe it off.”
"Hey!"
“You came back so early, I thought I had to wait for the sun to go down.”
“I’m not in a hurry to bring you good news.”
“Why are you still related to me? ?”
Gong Xie was stunned for a moment, and after hearing the general story of the matter, he went through many choices for the heroine of "Stewardess", but she was still chosen.
Fang Yan said, "The leading actor is Jiang Wen, the one who played King Qin Huiwen in "Shang Yang"."
Gong Cong let out a light sigh, "Didn't I ask you to push it off for me? Didn't you tell them?"
"I told you, but it was useless!"
Fang Yan shrugged, not only Wang Shuo repeatedly emphasized that the heroine was designed according to Gong Cie's image. Even Su Ya defected to the camp and supported Gong Cie to play the stewardess. As for the TV series studio, they thought it was suitable and were naturally willing to sell it.
"This...this..."
Gong Qian pursed his lips.
"Stop doing this and that, think on the bright side of everything. Isn't this an opportunity?"
Fang Yan said: "You are studying in the directing department of Nortel, so you can take this opportunity. Look. See how other people manage the crew when they are directors."
Gong Qie pondered for a while, his face lost expression. With some resistance, "Who are they going to invite to play the stewardess' best friend?"
"According to what you said, Zhao Jing, Zhang Yu, Xiaoying," Fang Yan paused, "and you Specially recommended Zhu Lu.”
Gong Qie’s eyes lit up, “Who will you choose?”
"We can't decide until the results of the audition come out."
"When will the audition be?"
"It should probably start when we come back from the United States."
Fang Yan wiped his sweat and looked at the calendar hanging on the wall. It was almost time to set off. (End of this chapter)
