Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 182 Planning Bright Debut
Ok?
After hearing this, several people looked at the same direction.

Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly: "Hey, it's okay to play."

It turns out that since Zhang Yang won the award for the micro-movie "Old Boy" made by Mingmei last year, he always wanted to get an electric shock again.

But he doesn't know directors in the film and television industry, and he can't get rid of his face to ask for help. Today, he heard that the famous director Lu Yongru is going to use the song "Red Ling" written by Yu Dongqing as the theme song, and he thinks this is an opportunity.

"It's not very demanding, just give it a supporting role, but it can't be a group performer who doesn't have a line and just burps." Zhang Yang made a request.

this?

"Okay, I'll call Director Lu and ask, if it doesn't work, don't blame me." Yu Dongqing agreed.

"Of course, of course."

Yu Dongqing didn't hesitate either, she walked aside and picked up her phone to call Lu Yongru.

Lu Yongru was a little surprised when he received the call: "What? Your friend wants to play a role? Which art school did he graduate from?"

"He has never studied acting, and he went to Yanshi University together with me." Yu Dongqing was a little embarrassed, but she had to continue: "Although he has never studied acting, he is very talented in acting. The micro movie he made last year He played the leading role in "Old Boy" and won the Best Actor Award!"

After finishing speaking, Yu Dongqing boasted about Zhang Yang again. He is a soul actor who has no teacher and was delayed by singing and doing business.

I don't know if it was because he won a small award, or because he was embarrassed to wipe Yu Dongqing's face off, Lu Yongru on the other end of the phone thought for a while and asked, "What does your friend look like?"

"He's medium, but fat." Yu Dongqing looked at Zhang Yang and described.

"Then, I still have the role of a Japanese translator here, and I haven't fully settled on it yet. Do you want to let your friend try it?"

"I can declare that this is a villain, but there are not many scenes." Lu Yongru finally said.

Little Japanese translator?

As soon as Yu Dongqing listened to the music, his mind immediately came up with the appearance of a fat, wretched man wearing an imperial army hat, nodding and bowing while holding a pistol.

"Okay, I'll tell him, if he agrees, let him audition for you." Yu Dongqing said.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Dongqing had nothing to hide, so she told Zhang Yang exactly what Lu Yongru had said.

What the hell!

Is it playing a traitor and lackey? !

Zhang Yang was dumbfounded.

"Forget it, Zhang Yang, why do you humiliate yourself?" Liu Yimin persuaded kindly.

Yu Dongqing also felt that something was wrong, so she told Zhang Yang not to worry, to see if there was a more suitable role for him in the future.

"Isn't Mingmei going to make a movie? Let me write the script, how about I write a role in the script that is suitable for you?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang said, "Go, why not? I am also dedicating myself to art. And Dongqing, you can make an agreement, you will write a role for me in the bright play!"

What the hell!

How does this guy really want to switch careers to make movies?
Yu Dongqing and the others looked at each other.

"Don't look at me like this, I just think it's fun. In life, you have to have various experiences, and filming is one of them." Zhang Yang said slowly.

In this case, Yu Dongqing didn't say anything, and called Lu Yongru to tell the situation, and told them each other's phone numbers, so that they could contact directly.

"That's all I can do if I help with this matter. As for the success of the audition, it's up to you." Yu Dongqing reminded.

"Don't worry, I think I'm okay." Zhang Yang was quite confident.

I don't know where he got the courage from?
Even though this incident was over, everyone started to eat barbecue and drink beer, and played until after five o'clock in the afternoon before driving home.

The next day, Zhang Yang contacted Lu Yongru as expected, and went to the crew to audition in person. Unexpectedly, he succeeded!
In the group of four, Zhang Yang reported the results for the first time, and his pride was beyond words.

The other three had no choice but to wish: Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor of the Year was born!

Just joking of course.

But somehow Mingmei found out about this. This week and weekend, Yu Dongqing went to pick up her daughter from the father-in-law's house in Houhai as usual. Mingmei also came back from school and asked, "Brother Zhang Yang wants to make a movie?"

"Yes." Yu Dongqing briefly explained the process.

"Also, Zhang Yang said that he will add a role to the script I wrote for you." Yu Dongqing finally finished speaking, but saw Mingmei's slender hand stretch out: "Bring it!"

"Bring what?"

"Script"

"It's been two months, and you haven't written a single word!"

oops
Indeed it is.

It's always one push and two pushes.

Yu Dongqing felt a little embarrassed.

"Are you in a hurry?! Don't you have more than a year to graduate?" Yu Dongqing was a little puzzled.

The major of Chinese opera directing is a five-year course, and Mingmei made this film as a graduation thesis.

This is usually done by graduates with a master’s degree. This summer, she worked as a director’s assistant to make a movie with her mentor Zhang Wenqing. Zhang Wenqing felt that she was capable, and the microfilm she shot last year also won an award, so she encouraged her to make a movie independently.

So Mingmei asked Yu Dongqing to write a screenplay.

After hearing Yu Dongqing's words, Mingmei explained: "More than a year is a long time. Making a movie is time-consuming. I want to keep improving!"

"Okay, I'll think about it these few days and try to write it for you as soon as possible!" Yu Dongqing agreed.

"You must keep your word!"

"Hey, it seems like I have no credit."

"In this matter, I don't have much credit." The girl said.

I￥%￥%...

Now that she decided to start writing the script, Yu Dongqing stopped procrastinating. Of course, she sent her daughter home. After her daughter went to bed, she went to the study and turned on the computer to start thinking.

In the original time and space, the song "Rukawa Kaede and Kurai Sora" was an IP, and was finally adapted into a web drama called "Rukawa Kaede Next Door to School Flower".

It's just a youthful campus comedy. It takes campus life as the main line and interprets the love story between students. It uses the two major selling points of youthful nostalgia and funny comedy.

Moreover, the Heisa Band performed this song with passion at the end, but the response was mediocre.

A song has been expanded into a movie as an IP, such as "You at the Same Table", "Write Poems for You", "Gardenia Blossoms" and the song "Brothers Sleeping on the Upper Bunk", "About Winter", etc. .

The songs are all classic songs, but the adaptation into a movie not only cannot copy the classics of the original songs, on the contrary, each of them disappeared without stirring up a splash.

In addition to factors such as directors and actors, another very important reason is that the lyrics of a song are too thin to support a 120-minute movie.

For example, "You at the same table" mainly focuses on the content of the songs sung by Gao Xiaosong, expounding the nostalgia for the friendship and love at the same table in youth and youth.

Among them, the touching lyrics "Will you remember tomorrow, the diary you wrote today" has become a popular classic song for several generations, and has also become a standard of affection for a generation.

When creating the film of the same name, it was limited by the content of the song, and could only be created within a certain range, expressing the memories of the campus time in the ignorant period.

Using the young love of the male and female protagonists to try to resonate with the audience, but the content lacks a certain degree of innovation. Many audiences can guess the end from the beginning, and even the "easter eggs" and "stalks" in the play lack a certain amount of suspense. .

Similarly, the song "Rukawa Kaede and Kurai Sora" also faces the same problem.

As for the original time-space editor who found another way to turn it into a hilarious drama, Yu Dongqing seems to have failed even more, and even lost the faint youthfulness of the song.

After thinking for a long time, Yu Dongqing decided to learn from another youth film "To Our Dying Youth". This film was made better and won many awards at home and abroad.

Writing scripts is also troublesome. Fortunately, Yu Dongqing used to write scripts in that time and space, and it is not difficult to have ready-made content now.

It took two full days for Yu Dongqing to complete the script of the film, and it was revised several times, but Yu Dongqing always felt unsatisfied.

Youth films are not easy to shoot, and it is easy to fall into clichés.

This is a bright debut work, don't worry, take it seriously.
