Chapter 213 Movie Script "The Blind Shaft"! (Please subscribe!)

At night, in front of the hotel room.

Dong Jie stood at the door wearing a plain white dress and waved the script in her hand.

"Director Lin, I'm a little unsure about the scene tomorrow and I'd like to ask for your guidance."

I understand this, Moonlight script.

"No problem, come in."

"Thank you, Director Lin."

Dong Jie smiled shyly and walked into the room.

Lin Xuan closed the door, took two bottles of water and put them on the coffee table.

"Which scene can't be determined?"

"That's it."

Lin Xuan took the script and looked at the section she pointed at.

"Leng Qingqiu and Bai Xiuzhu met in the dance hall, isn't it the Shura venue? I'm familiar with this... No, I know this."

After closing the script, Lin Xuan began to teach her how to act in this scene.

As an excellent actor and director, his ability to train actors and train acting skills is still very good.

Dong Jie was good at asking questions, and after asking him questions about acting, she started talking to him about biology.

Biology is a science, so you can't just talk about it. Theory must be combined with practice.

The experiment progressed from the sofa to the bathroom, and from the bathroom to the bedroom.

The results of the experiment can be found in every corner of the room.

Lin Xuan gave the young classmate Xiaodong a good lesson and completely opened her eyes.

The next morning.

Xiaodong, a classmate who stayed up late studying, fell ill.

I felt exhausted and had a sore throat, so I had to ask the crew for two days off.

Her part was postponed.

The director had no choice but to film the scenes between Lin Xuan and Liu Yifei first.

…………

The original novel "The Golden Family" is based on "A Dream of Red Mansions".

Therefore, there are many similarities in personality.

For example, the character Jin Yanxi has both Jia Baoyu's ignoramus and Sun Shaozu's ambition.

Just a few days after marrying Leng Qingqiu home, he and his friends stayed out all night playing mahjong.

There was not even a phone call, which made the newlywed wife have a hard night.

There are many rules and regulations in the big family of Jin Mansion, and Leng Qingqiu is very uncomfortable with these rules and regulations.

This was the time when she needed company and comfort, but Jin Yanxi still went her own way and ignored her wife.

Anyway, everyone has married back, and the novelty is gone, so naturally it doesn't matter to her anymore.

At this time, Bai Xiuzhu, who still did not give up, began to take the initiative to contact Jin Yanxi.

She changed her past unruly and willful character and became gentle, polite, elegant and refined, just like a lady from a wealthy family.

These changes made Jin Yanxi happy, so he no longer deliberately avoided her and had many private trysts with her.

Soon, Bai Xiuzhu was sent to an island country to study by her brother, and the two met again before leaving.

Jin Yanxi said she would go to the station to see her off, but she forgot about her in the blink of an eye.

It happened that on the day before he left, he was going to the station to see someone off, and the two met again.

The moment Hu Daozhen boarded the train, Bai Xiuzhu's emotions completely lost control.

He stuck his head out of the window and shouted at him:

"Yanxi, I hate you! Yanxi, I love you!"

Faced with this heartbreaking confession, Jin Yanxi could only suppress her emotions and turn around to leave.

After filming this scene, Bai Xiuzhu was temporarily offline, and Liu Yifei also had a half-month vacation.

However, a few days later, Lin Xuan saw her again in the crew lounge.

"Why are you here? Didn't the director give you half a month's leave?"

Liu Yifei played with the apple in her hand and explained: "I stayed at home for a few days and had nothing to do every day. It was so boring.

I have no friends in the capital, and I have no interest in going out for shopping. After thinking about it, the crew is still interesting. "

The above reasons are only one aspect. The main reason is that after returning home, Liu Xiaoli became more and more strict in her discipline.

In the past, when she was disobedient, Liu Xiaoli would only use her mouth.

Now I don’t know what happened, but my mother actually learned how to do it.

Liu Yifei couldn't stand it after staying at home for a few days.

Using the excuse of observing and learning acting skills, I got the opportunity to come to the set during the day.

"You don't know how blessed you are when you are in the midst of blessings. How many people want to take a vacation but never get the chance."

Lin Xuan said casually, then looked down at the document in his hand.

"Hello, Sister Dong."

"Hello Sissi."

Since that night, the relationship between Dong Jie and Lin Xuan has become much more harmonious.

Every day at noon, I eat with Lin Xuan in the lounge, chat and have a heart-to-heart.

As a result, today was so unfortunate that I was blocked in the door by this little girl.

However, the two leading actors had dinner together at noon and discussed how to shoot the afternoon scene. This reason is also reasonable.

"We haven't seen each other for a few days. Sister Dong has become even more beautiful."

The silly girl didn't lie. During the recent period, Dong Jie's face looked much better and her skin became much more hydrated.

"Yes, thank you."

Dong Jie touched her face and glanced at Lin Xuan sheepishly.

She also noticed this.

Lone Yin does not arise, Lone Yang does not grow, Yin and Yang are harmonious, and Qi and blood are abundant.

The "Huangdi Neijing" has been passed down for thousands of years, which of course makes sense.

"Ha, you're a flatterer."

"No, I'm telling the truth."

While Liu Yifei was explaining, she suddenly noticed a stack of information in Lin Xuan's hand.

"Brother Lin Xuan, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing, just a bunch of autumn wind hunters."

Lin Xuan said casually without raising his head.

"Fighting the autumn breeze?"

The little girl frowned, not understanding what it meant.

Dong Jie helped explain: "It's just a scam."

"Oh~~"

Liu Yifei suddenly understood and stood behind Lin Xuan to watch.

"Lin Xuan Studio" is not only responsible for Lin Xuan's own work, but also has the business of investing in film and television dramas.

Since there was no deliberate publicity for this business when it first started, very few people came to invest.

At the beginning of the year, his worth of over 100 million was exposed by the media.

Those directors and producers who lacked funds immediately sent over project information.

All of a sudden, dozens or hundreds of project materials poured into the studio.

After preliminary screening by employees, it was found that most of the projects were no different from fraud.

This group of people didn't have much hope, they probably just wanted to take a gamble.

You have nothing to lose if you get rejected, and you can make a lot of money if you succeed.

The materials Lin Xuan looked at were all projects that had passed the preliminary round.

But after reading it, he began to wonder if the studio employees were being lazy.

These projects can be described in four words, which is "relying on defense!"

For example, in a certain film and television project, the mythological romance "The Legend of the Gods" is to be produced.

The project book stated that the film should be in line with international standards, and a Hollywood special effects team should be hired to use foreign technology to promote traditional culture to the world.

This sounds pretty good, but the first movie is expected to require an investment of 1000 million US dollars.

The other party knew that Lin Xuan couldn't afford so much money, so he reminded her thoughtfully.

As long as Lin Xuan Studio leads the investment and Lin Xuan himself announces his participation, then Huayi, China Film and other film and television companies will definitely follow suit.

If divided equally, if one company pays US$200 million, only five companies can put it together.

I have to say that these people are really good at cheating money. They even found out Lin Xuan's personal connections.

""The List of Gods"..."

A soft and waxy voice came to my ears.

Liu Yifei rested her head on the side of his cheek, opened her eyes and looked seriously.

Lin Xuan's ears were itchy from the blowing, and he quickly pulled out the information.

"Let's take a look."

"Ah, can I see it?"

"Look! Isn't your godfather very rich? Asking him to invest in this project will ensure that you will become an instant success and successfully enter Hollywood." "Really?" Liu Yifei excitedly took the information.

"Truer than gold, I love telling the truth."

After receiving Lin Xuan's assurance, Liu Yifei happily held the information and sat aside to read it.

You're so stupid, you help me count the money after I sell you.

Lin Xuan shook his head and looked at the last piece of information without any expectations.

""Blind Well"..."

Just the name on the cover made his eyes light up, and he sat up straight unconsciously.

"The Blind Shaft" is adapted from the novel "The Divine Tree".

The story is based on the fraud and murder cases in three major mines in 98, with as many as victims.

The film made director Li Yang and newcomer Wang Baoqiang overnight famous.

One won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, and the other won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer.

The film failed to be released in the mainland, but the Berlin Silver Bear Award-winning work has no shortage of international buyers.

Just selling the broadcast rights is enough for investors to make a small profit, not to mention the blessing of awards.

There is no doubt that this movie is well worth the investment.

Without any hesitation, Lin Xuan immediately called the studio and asked them to make an appointment with Director Li Yang.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei and Dong Jie both looked at him, the longing in their eyes unable to be concealed at all.

"You have such a picky eye, what script can catch your eye?"

Dong Jie spoke a little implicitly, while Liu Yifei asked bluntly:

"Brother Lin Xuan, what movie is this? Is there a role suitable for me?"

"This is a literary drama film, suitable for your role... let me take a look."

Lin Xuan pretended to flip through the script and said with a smile: "There is a role of a woman who has lost her footing, will you play it?"

Dong Jie laughed out loud.

Liu Yifei frowned and asked, "What does the woman who lost her footing mean?"

"Children, don't ask so many questions, or you may end up learning bad things."

Dong Jie knew there was no hope, so she quickly pulled Liu Yifei out of the lounge.

She quite liked this Sayuri and couldn't let Lin Xuan dye it black for her.

Not long after the two left, Lin Xuan's cell phone rang.

Director Li Yang has been free in the past few days.

Lin Xuan thought to himself, it would be better to choose a day than to hit the sun, let's do it tonight.

…………

In the evening, the crew called it a day.

Lin Xuan took a car to the business club.

"Director Lin, you haven't been here for a long time."

The manager was notified in advance and stood waiting at the door early.

This is a big fat...big customer, so he must be entertained with care.

"Haha, I've been busy lately. Have the guests arrived?"

"It's half an hour already."

"I know, you go ahead and make arrangements. It's still the same old rules."

"No problem, you two will take Director Lin to the private room."

The manager waved.

Two welcoming girls wearing cheongsam and with figures comparable to models came over.

"Director Lin, please come this way."

VIP box.

Li Yang and his assistant sat nervously on the sofa, looking at their watches from time to time.

Li Yang went to Germany to study in the 1980s. After graduation, he worked as a documentary director there and received a master's degree in media studies.

I returned to China a few years ago to develop my career and filmed a documentary and a costume drama.

Last year, he accidentally read Liu Qingbang's novel "The Divine Tree".

From then on, the contents of the novel often came to my mind, so I came up with the idea of ​​turning it into a movie.

He bought the copyright of the novel and spent more than a year collecting information, conducting field visits, and polishing the script.

Now that the script has been written, I think it's pretty good, but no one is investing in it.

The reason is very simple. The script failed to pass the review and it was impossible to obtain a public release permit.

At this time, Li Yang heard from a friend that the studio of mainland star Lin Xuan had the business of investing in film and television dramas.

So with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, I sent out all the script materials.

Unexpectedly, only a few days later, the studio contacted him and made an appointment to come here to talk.

To show their concern, they set off early, half an hour earlier than scheduled.

He was so surprised by the service at the club that he didn't even want to talk about the decoration.

From the front desk to the waiters, every girl here is very beautiful.

The tea was high-end tea that he had never drunk before. The waiter only refilled the water three times and replaced it with a new pot of tea.

Even the fruits and desserts are expensive and exquisite.

"Lao Yang, how much do you think it will cost to eat here?"

"I don't know. I haven't been here before, so I don't dare to guess."

"Lin Xuan is really rich. He has to come to such a high-end place to talk about anything."

"Didn't the media say that he earned 100 million in three years?"

"Tsk, tsk, 100 million. How many movies can be made with this? No wonder he wants to invest in film and television."

"Shh... don't talk, I heard footsteps."

The box door was pushed open, and a handsome young man walked in front of him.

Li Yang and his assistant stood up quickly.

"Director Lin, I am Li Yang..."

"Hello, long wait."

After chatting for a while, the waiter began to serve the food, and the three of them chatted while eating.

"Director Li, I have read the script you sent me, and I have also read the novel "Shenmu"."

Li Yang put down his chopsticks and looked at him slightly nervously.

"The script is very well written!"

"you flatter me!"

Li Yang was slightly happy, but Lin Xuan continued:

"It's just that the scale is a bit big, so it won't pass the review."

Hearing what he said, Li Yang's heart froze and he sighed:

"Liu Qingbang told me when I bought the copyright of the novel.

He pitched the novel to many big directors, but all of them were rejected because of scale issues.

Director Lin, let me tell you the truth, this movie will definitely not be released in China.

I plan to use it to win prizes and screen it abroad, hoping to make my money back. "

After saying this, the box fell silent.

The movie cannot be released in the mainland, and the possibility of repaying the money is very slim. It depends on whether Lin Xuan dares to take the gamble.

Lin Xuan spread out the script and pondered for a few seconds: "You haven't thought about changing the script?"

Li Yang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile:

"I never thought about it. I plan to shoot this movie in the style of a documentary. If I change the script, it won't have that flavor."

Damn it, if you really didn’t think about it, why did you have to make two versions of "Blind Mountain"?

To put it bluntly, there is still no way out, and I am afraid of changing the movie beyond recognition.

If the two powers harm each other, whichever is less, we can only reluctantly give up the market.

"Look at this."

Lin Xuan took out a stack of scripts from his bag.

Li Yang turned over the pages and said in surprise: "Director Lin, this is..."

What he has in his hands is the revised script of "The Blind Shaft".

Without affecting the overall framework and core ideas, all illegal points have been deleted.

Lin Xuan took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Just kidding, I just changed a few strokes."

"No, no, this is a great change!"

Li Yang looked through the script and nodded in surprise.

He knew that Lin Xuan was also a screenwriter, but he didn't expect that his level was so high.

Lin Xuan smiled modestly and said nothing.

He only saw the original script of "The Blind Shaft" at noon, so there was no time to revise it.

Just spend some points to outsource it to the system and it can be done in minutes.
