Chapter 14 Mother and Son
After drinking a lot the night before, Zhang Yuan discovered that the amount of alcohol consumed by these directors was particularly alarming.
Fortunately, he was still young. As soon as he woke up, he was sober from the wine. After washing up, he was ready to go out.
"Zhang Yuan, I see you only came back at midnight last night, and you were in a hurry to go out this morning. Are you starting a new drama?" roommate Zhao Jin asked curiously.
After learning that Zhang Yuan earned 13,000 yuan a month, Zhao Jin, who was originally listless and spent three days fishing and two days drying nets, gave himself a severe beating.
Zhang Yuan is a few years younger than me, but now he is making a lot of money. It seems that the group acting has a future, and I also have a chance!
Typical "I can do it if I want to learn it" mentality.
"It's almost the same. The filming hasn't started yet, but the director asked me to discuss the script together."
"Tch, just brag about it and discuss the script with you..."
< br>Zhang Yuan told the truth, but others didn’t believe him!
"What kind of play is it?"
""The Golden Family"."
"Never heard of it, a small crew?" Zhao Jin thought to himself, how can a big director or a big crew discuss the script with a small actor?
"It's not too small," Zhang Yuanxin said. It shouldn't be too small. This drama was only the ratings champion of CCTV in 2003...
"Who is the leading actor?" Zhao Jin refused to give up. , continue to inquire.
"Chen Kun."
"Chen Kun..." Zhao Jin was stunned for a while after hearing these two words, and then jumped up from the bed: "Chen, Chen, Chen Kun!"
"That's the one who acted in "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" with Zhou Xun, Luo Haiqiong, and Lu Yi!"
Zhao Jin's tongue was almost tied.
"That's him. I'm going out first. See you in the evening." Zhang Yuan put on his shoes and left.
The chicken blood that Zhao Jin had just injected himself was cold again!
You are still playing with chicken feathers!
He was spotted by a big director of that level, and he even had to act with Chen Kun.
In his eyes, Sun Honglei is just a break dancer, but Chen Kun is different. He is a handsome guy who graduated from Beijing Film Academy.
Comparing himself with Zhang Yuan, Zhao Jin felt a deep sense of despair in his heart.
In fact, it is normal for extra actors to live in poverty and not be appreciated, so why should he always be compared with a special case like Zhang Yuan?
On the other side, Zhang Yuan came to the place agreed with Li Dawei, a hotel room.
Zhang Yuan never expected that last time Gao Qunshu took him to the hotel for a detailed discussion, but this time the filming had not started yet, and he was invited to the hotel again by the director.
Fortunately, I am not an actress.
For the next period of time, Zhang Yuan would come to the hotel every day to revise the script with Li Dawei.
Nearly three weeks later, a revised script for the TV series "The Family" was finally completed.
Li Dawei’s home.
Liu Guoquan wore reading glasses and read at night by light, carefully examining the thick stack of scripts given to him by his son.
While reading, the old lady nodded from time to time, while Li Dawei stood nervously like a primary school student whose homework was being checked.
An hour later, Liu Guoquan took off his glasses and squinted at his son.
"Very good, better than I imagined!"
Hearing his mother's affirmation, Li Dawei breathed a sigh of relief.
Many people struggle and work hard all their lives, but the fame and fortune they obtain are not what they thought. What they want most is the affirmation of their parents.
The same goes for Li Dawei.
Getting approval from my mother makes me happier than watching Changhong and making a lot of money.
"The story is derived from the original work, but it is not limited to the original work. It takes the essence and removes the dross."
"The characters of the protagonists are retained, but slightly adjusted to be more suitable for the taste of the current audience."
"For example, the endings of several protagonists."
"If I were to adapt this script, I would do the same." Liu Guoquan found that the content of this script was not consistent with his own ideas. Conspiring together.
“And what’s even more interesting is that it adds a plot and characters that are not in the novel.”
"Just like Mr. Jin's illegitimate son, this scene clearly has the feeling of "Thunderstorm", and the emotional entanglement between the illegitimate son and the heroine deepens the complexity of the relationship between the protagonists and enhances the attraction."
The heroine in the TV series version has a crush on her teacher, who is the illegitimate son of the hero’s father. What’s even more complicated is that the illegitimate son’s mother is Mr. Jin’s cousin...
Liu Guoquan has no idea. He was stingy with his praise, but his words suddenly took a turn.
"However, I think there is a problem!"
"Mom, what's the problem? Tell me and I'll fix it." In front of his mother, Director Li will always be a child. "The problem is..." The old lady's expression gradually became serious: "I'm afraid you didn't complete this script alone!"
Li Dawei nodded nervously and coyly: "I found a helper, he is very good."
"He has been helping me organize my ideas from the beginning to the end, and many of my creative ideas have been He came up with it."
He told the truth.
The old lady was not angry either, her expression was kind.
Originally, she asked her son to compile the script by himself in order to exercise his personal abilities.
Now that he can find helpers, isn’t connections a kind of ability?
She is older and just wants to pave the way for her son.
"Which famous screenwriter is the student of this person you are looking for?" the old lady asked.
"As far as I know, he should have no teacher."
"Is that a talented person from Peking University?"
"He doesn't have such a high degree of education." Thinking back now, Li Dawei feels amazing: "It was a young man who was introduced to me by a director friend."
< br>"According to him, this person was an extra two months ago."
"Extra!" the old lady blurted out in surprise, that is, she took off her glasses, otherwise she would have been frightened. No.
“Well, I have only played a small role so far, but I didn’t expect that I have a great talent.”
Liu Guoquan calmed down and thought for a while, then spoke again, with serious words.
"Son, my mother has lived for most of her life. Although I am a professional, I also know that masters are among the people, and capable people are hidden from the world."
"Education and background do not determine a person You have to remember the height of people’s achievements.”
“Mom, I understand, just grab the talent and don’t look down on them with a professional air.”
“That’s right. ! ”
"Since the other person is an actor and has done so much for you, you have to give him a good role."
"I give him a peach and give him a Qiong Yao, I understand." Li Dawei laughed. He replied: "And this person is also very proactive. He has already mentioned the role he wants to me."
"Which one?"
"Liu Chunjiang."
< br>The old lady thought for a while.
The protagonists of the film are Jin Yanxi and the Jin family behind it, and Liu Chunjiang's Liu family is one of the many supporting characters.
But the role of Liu Chunjiang is the most important one among the supporting roles!
Because in the original work, the love between the male protagonist and the female protagonist, the prince Cinderella, was shattered in the end, but the prince and Cinderella were also married, and the young master Liu Chunjiang and the Jin family girl Xiao Lian had a happy ending.
Same story, similar background, but the ending is completely opposite, forming a strong contrast with the protagonist!
The old lady noticed something, put on her spectacles again and read the script.
"The character Liu Chunjiang has been changed to have a tragic ending!"
"And the role is much heavier and more exciting!"
"Oh, this young man may have planned it from the beginning. "
For the first time, the old lady became interested in a young man she had never met.
“Okay, let’s do this and start shooting as soon as possible.”
As the old lady spoke, she suddenly thought of something.
“By the way, son, you previously arranged for Lao Huang to help handle the handover of two actresses from China, but now there is a small problem and the visa has been blocked.”
“Ah, He was right again!" Li Dawei was stunned.
"What's accurate?" the old lady was confused.
“The guy who helped me rewrite the script told me when we first met that visas for Chinese actresses might not be approved, and he asked me to make plans in advance, but I didn’t take it seriously. .”
Li Dawei drank too much that day and turned a deaf ear to Zhang Yuan's words.
Now that my mother mentioned it again, the scene at that time appeared before his eyes as clearly as a knife chopping it up with an axe.
The old lady was only interested just now, but now she has the idea that she must meet in person.
“What is the name of this young man?”
“His name is Zhang Yuan!”
