At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 276 "Love Has an Afterlife" (34)

Xu Lan is a very good writer.

Shen Xudong bought a selection of her novels, and heard that Xu Lan is like Zhang Ailing...

In "Red Sandalwood Board" and "Cherry Red", Shen Yun has six or seven images, but it suffers from anticlimactic effects, and imitates Zhang Ailing's "leisure brushwork" that looks at life with a cold eye, which is a bit forceful and deliberate, not natural enough, and the story is not subtle enough...

"Leisure" comes next.

As for "Ginkgo Ginkgo" and "The Story of the Stone", they should be ashamed to stand in the same collection as the rest...

Among the eight novels in the collection of novels, "Ginkgo Ginkgo" and "The Story of Stone" are regarded as Xu Lan's first novels.

Therefore, Xu Lan is talented and gifted. I don’t know what kind of achievements she can achieve by devoting herself to writing, but she seems to have stopped writing...

Later, she seemed to have worked as a screenwriter for a while, and she participated in "Certificate of Fame"...

Shen Xudong nodded: "I have read "Ginkgo", and it feels a bit like "Rouge Button"..."

Wang Xiaoping: "You two stop chatting here, eat something first!"

Very good, the seeds were planted at the age of 25, and the dream was realized in the thirties, and I devoted myself to it...

"...You first talk about your thoughts..."

"Correct."

Later, during the period of the Republic of China, a couple moved here, and the wife looked exactly like Ah Jiu.

After a year like this, Amin suddenly found that no matter how hard he tried.Neither can change the status quo.Frustrated, he chose to shave or become a monk.

Under the ginkgo tree in the temple, Amin, who became a ghost, has been waiting for 50 years.

too bland...

The parents of the brother and sister were killed by brother A Ming, and they endured the humiliation for many years.Just for revenge today.But Ah Jiu has fallen in love with Ah Ming, determined to seek death, and agreed: We will meet again in the next life...

Wang Xiaoping hurriedly asked, "Struggling?"

It is a romantic pathos that touched me.

"I want to discuss the script with you again..."

If you take a closer look at this movie, the characters are like pieces of paper, and the emotions beyond the shadows are not convincing enough...

Ah Jiu followed him inexplicably, and lived in a broken house outside the temple, cooking tea for him every day.

Many people commented on "Love Has an Afterlife": Yu Meiren's willful work, under the calm expression, there used to be a little girl in her heart.

It’s nothing more than reading the novel when I was young, and I felt it very much. I bought the right to adapt it and planned to make it into a movie...

Life can have several such opportunities!
That being the case, then move closer to pure love!
Shen Xudong flipped through "Ginkgo Ginkgo" and was wondering how this would unfold...

Yu Feihong was not worried about Shen Xudong at all, and went directly to his room in her pajamas.

Ah Jiu, who is lurking, can add some suspense and thriller elements: you, Ah Jiu, are undercover, don’t move and just stay in the house all day long, you are not a wooden person;
By the way, some light comedy content can also be added in a small amount. For example, the male protagonist can have a funny follower, and some funny dialogues will occur...

Yu Feihong is hard to convince...

After a long while, Yu Feihong shook her head and said: "... I think it's okay to add details, but if you add the part of Ah Jiu contacting her brother for the sake of dramatic conflict, the story will change!"

Another day.His elder brother was suddenly ambushed and fled to the temple, where he was seriously injured and died.Immediately afterwards, another group of horse thieves surrounded the temple, and the leader was Ah Jiu's elder brother.

……

They are all prominent figures, whoever you pull out at will can stand alone.

"Amin in the previous life was a bandit. He liked Ah Jiu and snatched her away... I don't think it's logical to have sex with her!"

The story is quite clichéd, telling the love story of two generations of enemies upside down in a ghostly space.

"...Then let me say a few points, you can change it...at least logically..."

"Master Shuo...can I read the script?"

……

It was only then that Shen Xudong realized that Yu Feihong was not the pure men in the dormitory...

"... Teacher Yu, what's the matter with you?"

It has been in preparation for ten years, which means... the movie itself is outdated!

That's how you can see it...

She filmed "Love Has an Afterlife" not to fulfill her dream of being a director, let alone to make money, but just to film...

"It doesn't matter, as long as I can take pictures!"

Then he heard someone knock on the door, he got up and opened the door, it was Yu Feihong...

If it was filmed in the 90s, the box office would not be good, but the reputation must be very good!
After thinking about it, Shen Xudong said: "...Teacher Yu, I'm telling the truth, don't mind..."

"You've seen it, that's great..."

Shen Xudong smiled wryly: "This kind of work is difficult to sell, and...it is also difficult to win awards."

"Correct!"

"...Then thank you very much!"

A Ming told this story to Ah Jiu...

It is said that the cost is 4000 million, and the box office is less than 200 million!
It's a blood loss no matter what!
In fact, this movie has all the conditions for a big hit: beautiful, tragic, haunted by ghosts!
Moreover, the screenwriters are Wang Shuo and Zhao Zhao;
Photography is by Li Yaohui of "Happy Together";
The film editor is Lin An'er, who is known as "the first cut in the rivers and lakes";
The recording director is Wang Danrong, the winner of the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Sound Effects, and the costume design is Mo Xiaomin, a national first-class stage art designer...

But... this story is too plain, focusing on complex psychological activities, it is not suitable for making a movie at all...

"You want that kind of aesthetic feeling? With a touch of sadness?"

Isn't "Love Has an Afterlife" a work of a girl's heart?

Shen Xudong pursed his lips, pondered for a while, and then said: "The framework of this story is actually quite good, now I just want to clarify the story of the previous life..."

By the way, the name was changed: "It's called "Love Has an Afterlife", it's Wang Shuoqi's name!"

"Love has an afterlife", a miserable movie...

Yu Feihong recounted her fate with "Ginkgo Ginkgo"...

The male protagonist is a bandit, obviously some thrilling fighting elements can be added, so it should burst the hormones out of the big screen;

Ah Jiu seemed to be very afraid of him, and had been reticent all the time, even though the two got married, it didn't get better.

Yu Feihong's expression was a bit awkward...

A Ming was not discouraged, and just wanted to resolve the other party's resentment with sincerity.

After considering the language for a while, he said: "...how come you fell in love with the enemy who killed your whole family? Just by sending flowers? I think we can add a little more detail to the relationship between the two..."

Shen Xudong hurriedly poured her a cup of tea, and then took out his notebook: "You tell me, I'll write it down!"

The story of "Love Has an Afterlife" is very simple. It should be in the late Qing Dynasty. There is a pair of brothers who are the leader of a gang of horse thieves. The younger brother is called A Ming. One day he meets a woman named A Jiu. He likes it, so he snatches it and brings it back to the village.

Shen Xudong said bluntly: "The story is a good story, but it's not a very good script, and there is almost no dramatic conflict. Did Ah Jiu go to the cottage on her own initiative or was she forced? How did she contact her brother when she came to the cottage? Why did she have to come to the cottage? Undercover? Is it because the stronghold is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so there must be internal support? Besides, Ah Jiu's sense of struggle is not reflected..."

Species are different!

Yu Feihong smiled: "It's okay, just tell me!"

"...they got married later!"

"I mean snatching should have sex on the first night..."

Yu Feihong frowned: "Then Ajiu must hate him very much..."

"How about, let's change it to when Ah Ming was about to enter, and found the tears in the corner of Ah Jiu's eyes... lost his mind?"
