Chapter 47 Script Surrounding
Hotel conference room, script reading, the last day.

Director Zhang Kaige closed the script with satisfaction. After reading the script for the past two days, he could feel that the creators had studied the characters well, which gave him a little more confidence in the success of the film.

But in the end, he still asked habitually, "Do you have any other ideas about the role you play?"

Jiang Baizhi is sitting first on Zhang Kaige's right hand, which not only shows her status, but also shows her close relationship with the director.

Zhang Kaige is a leading figure in the fifth generation of directors in China, and he is destined to be written in the textbooks of film history in the future.Back then, the movie Jiang Baizhi made was directed by Zhang Kaige, and only such a big director dared to use newcomers, because they themselves had enough box office appeal, and then Jiang Baizhi also signed to Zhang Kaige's company logically, and it has continued to this day .

To be honest, during the two days of reading the script, Jiang Baizhi also gained a deeper understanding of her own role through playing with other characters, but what followed was Su Ye's analysis of the role, which has been non-stop. echoed in her mind.

"Bai Zhi, I see you are frowning, do you have any thoughts?"

"Yes."

Jiang Baizhi met Zhang Kaige's eyes calmly. One was that she really felt that Su Ye understood the character better. Secondly, she had a close relationship with the director and understood the director's personality, so there was nothing wrong with being outspoken.

"Oh? Talk about it."

"What our play wants to tell everyone is that death is just a peaceful farewell. But I have a different opinion on how to deal with the ending of the story and promote the core of the characters. First of all, the ending of the story, all the family members of the female professor before her death To be by my side, to meet death while remembering the past, this ending is too happy."

Zhang Kaige couldn't help frowning, which meant he started to think, "If it were you, how would you deal with it?"

"The female professor is an independent and elegant person, but don't forget that she is also a philosopher, she may have a completely different view of the meaning of life, she is more independent, or she will be more 'self'. She will bid farewell to her relatives. According to the Bible, children are an inheritance given by God, and a husband is a union from the ribs. But other than that, she is also living for her, and she also has things she wants to pursue.

I think at the last moment, she will enjoy being alone with herself, just as people come and leave alone.Maybe she will light the stove, light the incense, play a piece of favorite music, enjoy the last time calmly and comfortably, and let go.”

There was a moment of silence in the room, but the eyes of the other actors were involuntarily focused on Jiang Baizhi. Maybe Jiang Baizhi didn't even know how radiant and eye-catching she was when she said this.

Zhang Kaige didn't make a final comment, but instead looked at a middle-aged man beside him. This is his queen screenwriter Lu Ming, who is also the chief editor of this script, "Old Lu, what do you think of Bai Zhi's thinking?"

Lu Ming had a bitter expression on his face, "The logic is very reasonable, and it even makes this character more brilliant. If it wasn't for the start of the game, I would have rewritten the script."

Zhang Kaige laughed, and patted Lu Ming's shoulder, "I think it's good too, but it's not that exaggerated. It's just a revised ending." Speaking of this, Zhang Kaige looked at Jiang Baizhi, "Baizhi, leave you alone. Say what you think next.”

Jiang Baizhi nodded, "In order to highlight that the heroine regards death as a peaceful farewell, the plot in front of us is based on the fact that the heroine is rich in knowledge and experienced ups and downs in her early years, so she will treat death calmly. But I think This core is not enough, and it is not closely related to the heroine's identity setting as a professor of philosophy."

"Then do you need to find it from the philosophical classics?" Lu Ming woke up immediately after being reminded by Jiang Baizhi.

"Yes, the original meaning of philosophy in the earliest period is actually a way of looking at the world. The ancient Greek philosopher Thales believed that everything was made of water, Anaximander believed that humans evolved from fish, and Anaxime Nee believes that it is 'qi' that makes up our world and soul. Whether these views are right or wrong, they all represent the philosopher's attitude towards things, including life and death."

Seeing that everyone was in deep thought, Jiang Baizhi paused before continuing, "I think there are two reasons for being able to treat death calmly. The first is not to be greedy for the world. This is what the ancient Roman philosopher Epictetus said. It guides the direction and makes us humble: we step on the stage that we did not choose, and perform in the script that we did not choose. The glory we get is only given by fate. If it is not the gift of fate, our ideals are simply worthless Mention."

When Jiang Baizhi said these words, her voice was unconsciously lowered a lot. One is that such words involuntarily make people think, and the other is that she thought of Su Ye. Very low, with a hint of bitterness and powerlessness in the low
"The second reason is that the heroine doesn't think that death is a painful thing. A man once asked a wise man, will I go to heaven after death? The wise man replied yes. The man asked where hell is, and the wise man pointed to his feet , Say Here, the world is hell. This story is just a reference, showing that death is not so terrible. For the heroine, the feeling of death may be more like Heine's poem: Death is a cool night. And the TV series Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms The line of the poem also quoted this poem and rewritten it as: Death is like the coolness of summer night, which can be used for people to sleep without worry.”

"It's so enlightening! I feel like I have a lot of inspiration now, and I can't wait to modify it." Lu Ming looked excited, "Baizhi, you are so awesome!"

Even Zhang Kaige couldn't help laughing and said, "Bai Zhi, I'll see you with admiration after three days' farewell! Just now you quoted the scriptures, I think the heroine is standing in front of me alive, you are a real professor of philosophy!"

Others in the conference room also praised in twos and threes. We all know the cultural level of art students, but just now Jiang Baizhi, an ancient Greek philosopher, and an ancient Roman Heine really stunned them!

On the other hand, Jiang Baizhi couldn't help but blush when she heard everyone's compliments. Su Ye told her what she said.

"Director Zhang, Mr. Lu, in fact, I'm not that good. I just heard from my friends. You know, I hired a philosophy professor to experience life for this role."

"I have heard from Xiao Lu, but your friend is very powerful, and you have real talents."

"Of course, he is the youngest professor of philosophy at Jinghua University, and he is also a young Changjiang scholar!"

Even Jiang Baizhi didn't realize that others were more happy to praise Su Ye than to praise herself.

While everyone was in joy, Lu Ming on the side lowered his head and showed a thoughtful expression
