Chapter 48 Discussion(1/2)
After relaxing the atmosphere, Xu Rong pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Teacher Gao, to be honest, the first half was written twenty episodes ago. I think it was better than "Blood Romance" and can definitely be called a classic.
Classic, but the second half is smaller, especially the handsome red soldier and the
After Liu Qing got entangled with each other, I had a strange feeling. I felt that since Shuai Hongbing gave up college for Niu Huahua and his children, he would never leave so easily and give up his family. It was a bit to highlight Niu Huahua.
Create difficulties for her."
The general plot of the story is that Shuai Hongbing and his childhood sweetheart Liu Qing went to the countryside. Due to the lack of knowledge and cultural hunger in the special era, Shuai Hongbing secretly read "Red and Black" and showed it everywhere. As a result, he was caught as a model and was promoted to the captain.
Niu Huahua is responsible for criticism and education.
Because of this, the two gradually became familiar with each other, and formed a bond because of "Red and Black". In the helpless situation, Shuai Hongbing regarded Niu Huahua as his trustworthy sister.
Niu Huahua's feelings were different. She gradually fell in love with the cheerful, simple and versatile handsome red soldier. However, due to the existence of Liu Qing, she could not and could not tell him.
In order to return to the city, the commander-in-chief Hong Bing directed and acted in an accident and became a role model, but he also suffered from brain damage and aphasia.
Liu Qing saw that he had become a fool, so in order to return to the city, he resolutely abandoned him and returned to the city at the cost of his body.
Niu Huahua considered that Shuai Hongbing's parents could not take care of him due to "sexual issues", so she married Shuai Hongbing regardless of her family's objections so that she could take him into her home and take care of him.
Later, Shuai Hongbing recovered and resumed the college entrance examination. He and Niu Huahua already had two children. For the sake of his wife and children, he gave up the college entrance examination and returned to the city with his wife and children.
When they met again, Liu Qing saw that Shuai Hongbing had a wife and children. In desperation, he found a random man and got married. However, because he was not a virgin, his husband gradually began to show his perverted side.
After returning to the city, Shuai Hongbing went through many twists and turns. In order to make money, he finally got entangled with Liu Qing and became pregnant with a child.
When the child was born and found to be mentally retarded, Liu Qing turned to give the child to Niu Huahua, thinking that Niu Huahua owed it to her.
The handsome red soldier also followed Liu Qing south, and there was no news from that time.
Niu Huahua lost her husband and had to take care of her children and sick parents-in-law. While waiting for her husband, she shouldered the heavy burden of life. Although life was so difficult, Niu Huahua wiped away her tears and faced life with a smile.
She set up a street stall, ran across the Northeast to do small business, sold melon seeds cigarettes in a teahouse, and also did cross talk. In the end, she succeeded, met an equally successful husband, and launched a business revenge.
She got what she wanted again, but found that everything was done deliberately by the handsome red soldier.
But Shuai Hongbing disappeared again, because he was already terminally ill and blind. He sold all his property, sent the money to Niu Huahua, and came to a small wooden house on the beach to spend his last days alone.
Niu Huahua went through great pains to find the handsome red soldier who was terminally ill and blind in a cabin on the seaside. She did not disturb him. She pretended to be a mute nanny to take care of him, while raising funds to treat his illness and keep him here.
in the world.
One cannot see, the other has a mouth and cannot speak.
Niu Huahua sold all her family property and delayed her husband's life. Shuai Hongbing quietly disappeared from the world and developed a strong desire for life.
Shuai Hongbing knew that the mute nanny in front of him was his abandoned wife. He faced all this shamelessly and quietly left her. When Shuaizi walked to a silent mountain forest in a wheelchair, he suddenly heard "The North Wind That Blows"
》The familiar melody was the secret code for him and Niu Huahua when they were in the mountain village.
Then Shuai Hongbing and Niu Huahua got back together.
Even though he has never experienced that era, Xu Rong can feel a sense of reality just by reading the scripts of the first five episodes. However, since the handsome red soldier returned to the city, the plot has taken a turn for the worse, with one pot of blood after another.
Blood was poured on people's heads.
It is purely to highlight Niu Huahua's Niu, and to portray the handsome red soldier into a scumbag who can no longer be scumbag. Although there are various reasons, the character image has undergone earth-shaking changes from before.
It was too inconsistent, and he couldn't portray such an image at all.
It's not that he couldn't accept that he played the leading male role and then used it to foil other roles. Although "Harbin Under Night" also foiled Lu Qiuying, Wang Yimin's image has always been tenable and consistent, but Shuai Hongbing's
The second half of this character, or after returning to the city, simply changed his head.
Xu Rong knew that what Gao Mantang wanted to convey was the joys and sorrows of little people swept by the wave of openness, but he loved the role of "Niu Huahua" too much, and instead sacrificed the handsome red soldier, which he could not accept.
On the contrary, the character Liu Qing has a selfish character throughout.
When Gao Mantang saw that Xu Rong didn't nod, he felt helpless. He had worked hard to write "Crossing the Guandong" for Ling Xiaosu before, but was rejected. He didn't expect to write "North Wind" for Xu Rong this time, but he was not very willing.
catch.
As for Zhu Kaishan, he definitely didn't mean to write brilliantly, but it became like that over time, and he didn't quite understand what happened.
But he still wants to fight for it, because Xu Rong is one of the few young actors he knows who has successfully portrayed middle-aged characters. In the second half of the play, Shuai Hongbing will also enter middle age.
Gao Mantang pondered for a moment and asked, "If you have any ideas, you can share them and discuss them together."
Seeing that he was not being polite, Xu Rong thought carefully for a while, and then stated the most important point, saying: "From my own point of view, it is reasonable for Shuai Hongbing to help Liu Qing, who lives an unhappy life, after returning to the city, but when it comes to abandoning his wife
Abandoned son, I find it difficult to accept this, because he also faced a choice and gave up going to college, but the subsequent plot overturned the character of this plot."
Gao Mantang immediately retorted: "He is grateful to Niu Huahua, but he is in love with Liu Qing. He has always liked her, so he will help her and have children. The reason why he abandoned Niu Huahua is
I feel sorry for her."
"Then do you think you like such a character?" Xu Rong asked in the same unceremonious manner, "He also has elderly parents and two children, and just throws them to a woman. Yes, such a cow flower is indeed a cow.
He is indeed strong and great, but such a man does not even have the slightest sense of responsibility.
No, what's the difference between him and Liu Qing? If he had this kind of character from the beginning, Niu Huahua probably wouldn't like him, but the change was too sudden. He felt guilty and didn't dare to have a child with Liu Qing.
When facing Niu Huahua, we should realize that abandoning three children for Niu Huahua is even more sorry for her."
"In such an era, people's personalities will change, and there is a certain explanation of the process. It was poverty that changed him."
"But in the same plot, the handsome red soldier has a contradictory side."
"It was Liu Qing who threatened to die. He chose to stay with Liu Qing for two reasons."
"..."
The argument between the two turned into a quarrel. At a certain moment, they suddenly noticed the gazes from all around, and they both fell silent at the same time.
They looked at each other and laughed "haha" in unison.
In fact, Xu Rong understood that Gao Mantang really wanted him to pick him up, otherwise there would be no need to ask him out specifically. As for Gao Mantang, he also realized that Xu Rong was very satisfied with the first twenty episodes, but since the plot of the twentieth episode
He was dissatisfied from the beginning, otherwise he would have simply shook his head and refused, and would not have been so anxious to argue with him here.
"Well, Teacher Gao, let me make it clear that I can accept Shuai Hongbing's cheating. After all, it was his first love. They come and go. A misfire is always inevitable, but leaving behind three children and two old people
I can’t accept this part.”
Gao Mantang's voice became louder again: "Then how do you want to change it?"
Xu Rong stared and didn't say anything for a long time. If he could write scripts, why not talk to Gao Mantang? He could only mutter: "Anyway, even if he joins the pyramid scheme and can't go back and has no news, I can accept it."
.”
"Hey, you have a good idea." Hearing Xu Rong's muttering, Gao Mantang was stunned for a moment, and then became happy, "As long as you sign, I will change it."
Xu Rong was afraid of being deceived, so he immediately said: "As long as you change it, I will sign it."
"Xiao Xu, even if you change it, it won't be something that can be done in a short while." Gao Mantang said with a smile, "Don't worry, in fact, I don't have much confidence in the second half. I will do it again when I go back.
Think about it, let’s make changes while filming. Don’t worry, I’ll find an old friend to direct this time.”
Seeing that Gao Mantang had said this, Xu Rong couldn't keep up the fight and asked, "What does the producer mean?"
Gao Mantang waved his hand with great confidence and said: "Don't worry, I can still talk."
This is the most hastily prepared film for Xu Rong. The day after chatting with Gao Mantang, the company officially signed a contract with the producer.
About ten days later, in late March, Xu Rong had to rush to the Northeast, with which he had an indissoluble bond, to prepare for filming.
The only consolation is that spring has begun now, and even if the snowy countryside where the filming is cold is a little bit easier to bear, no matter how painful it is, it will not be as painful as the time of "Enter Guandong".
As for the trivial matters of house decoration after joining the group, he can only let Xiao Zhang and Jin Fangfang look after it together. This departure will take about two months. The specific time when he can come back depends on the specific shooting situation.
An Jian, the new director of "The North Wind Blows," took over, allowing Xu Rong to see a different side of the industry again.
Before "Crossing Guandong", Gao Mantang was in the screenwriting industry. Although he was also a famous screenwriter, he did not have the status he currently has, let alone the power and freedom to change directors. Now he is changed at the request of the director.
Director seems to have become a miserable profession, and even famous directors are not immune. Since Xu Rong started working, he has seen actors who were dissatisfied and changed directors, and producers who were dissatisfied and changed directors.
The management was dissatisfied with the change of director. Now, he finally saw that the screenwriter had changed the director. Maybe one day, the director of photography also changed the director, and he wouldn't be surprised.
After carefully discussing the quality of the book with Shi Lanya and Wang Qingxiang, he can now tell some of it. Although as a generation gets older, period dramas begin to decline because more young audiences cannot understand the story of the countryside.
The helplessness and sadness, and the resulting entanglement of love and hate, just look at it and feel unnecessary.
But judging from the popularity of last year's "Sweet Honey", "North Wind" still has a certain audience group. Although that generation is getting older, it has not completely withdrawn from the stage.
As for the female lead, Yan Ni, he mentioned that she had worked together before. In "The Ming Dynasty", Yan Ni played the role of Princess Yu. However, the two of them had no scenes opposite each other, and their announcements had few overlapping periods. They only met a few times during makeup trials.
, I haven’t spoken to each other, and I actually don’t know much about the other person’s character.
But after reading the script, Xu Rong found it strange that his impression of Yan Ni still remained on the classic line "Oh my god, my forehead is dripping".
Sitcoms are similar to variety shows, and they are too irritating to the audience, especially sitcoms that are very popular.
In his opinion, without the role of Tong Xiangyu, Yan Ni might be able to take the "sexy" route, but now, she simply cannot get rid of the label of Tong Xiangyu, just like Feng Yuanzheng, who has been firmly labeled since "Don't Talk to Strangers"
Being trapped in the role of a villain is both a blessing and a misfortune for an actor.
In fact, when he was reading the script, an actor popped up in his mind: Wang Qianhua, famous for "The Woman in Charge".
But he is neither a producer, nor a screenwriter, nor a producer, and he is the last one to join the group. He has no way to make a decision. He can only hope that Yan Ni can do more to subvert her image of "Tong Xiangyu" in the eyes of the audience.
