Chapter 23 The main theme across time and space


    Shi Wenxin put on her reading glasses, held the Xianghe meat pie-like script, and found the newly written paragraph.


    First I saw a character added, Geng Ying.


    Geng Ying supported the whole family by herself. She was a good woman in the traditional sense, but she also had a "nasty" side. She privately persuaded Zhou Yun to leave her brother, but then turned around and told her brother that it was Zhou Yun who left on her own initiative...


    "From the audience''s perspective, of course she''s annoying, but from her perspective, she did nothing wrong."


    Shi Wenxin nodded. This character was well done and very vivid. In fact, this was a bad routine in later generations and is not unusual at all, but don''t forget the current background.


    For a long time, the character creation in domestic movies has been very simple. They are either right or wrong, good or bad, and there is no room to explore human nature. This must be viewed objectively, because revolutionary struggle is not a dinner treat, it needs this works.


    Shi Wenxin first confirmed the role of Geng Ying, and then looked back and saw that conversation.


    She unconsciously adjusted her reading glasses, leaned her upper body forward, and read it several times before she couldn''t restrain her excitement and said, "Xiaoliang, come and take a look too!"


    Liang Xiaosheng came over and took over the script.


    After a while, he suddenly raised his head and said excitedly: "This paragraph is well-written. This point of view is so novel!"


    "What exactly was written?"


    "show me!"


    The other two editors also came over, and after reading it they both said, "Haha, let me just say this guy has some ideas. He is really different from us older ones!"


    "Young people today are extraordinary!"


    "What are you discussing?"


    At this time, Jiang Huaiyan came in, and Shi Wenxin smiled and said: "Xiao Chen stayed up all night and sent the manuscript. We have all read it. Can you take a look at it again?"


    "Oh? So fast?"


    "I forgot to tell him, don''t worry, just take your time."


    Jiang Huaiyan casually picked up a chair, sat down, went through the manuscript, and finally read:


    Zhou Jun and Geng Ying arrived at Wangjiang Pavilion in Lushan Mountain.


    This pavilion was built on the Scissors Gorge, surrounded by mountains on three sides and open to the north, making it a good place to view the Yangtze River from a distance.


    Geng Ying said: "What on earth are you going to talk to me about? Let me tell you, even if my father agrees, I still haven''t changed my opinion of you. You don''t have to try to convince me."


    Zhou Yun said: "Sister Ying, why are you so prejudiced against me? Is it wrong for me to like Geng Hua?"


    "Look, it''s not that I''m biased against you. You open and close your mouth just because you like it, even if you love it, you don''t know how to be ashamed. We are not like you!"


    “…”


    Zhou Yun was silent for a while and said, "Sister Ying, can I ask you something? Do you love your motherland?"


    "What are you talking about? Of course I love my motherland!"


    "Then do you love your parents?"


    "Of course!"


    "Then do you love your brother?"


    "Of course!"


    "Then, do you love your lover?"


    "I…"


    Geng Ying was suddenly stunned.


    "Do you think they are the same or different? Aren''t they all our most passionate and sincere feelings?


    Sister Ying, I love my parents, I love Geng Hua, and I also love my motherland.


    My father often tells me about the majestic mountains and rivers here, as well as every plant and tree, so I came back. Not only did I want to see Mount Lu, I also wanted to see the Five Sacred Mountains, the Yangtze River and the Great Wall, and the Huangshan Mountains and the Yellow River!


    I want to go to various places, and I want to go to Tiananmen!


    This is also my motherland!


    I am willing to stay, not just for Geng Hua, but because I feel that this land is full of great vitality. I am willing to feel the breath of the new era here. I am willing to dedicate myself to building a better future together!


    Sister Ying, tell me, isn’t this all love? ! "


    …


    Jiang Huaiyan stood up immediately!


    There was a strange expression of shock and excitement on his face, and he said: "Bold and wonderful!"


    "Lushan Love"!


    Of course, you can''t limit yourself to personal love. If you want to fall in love, fall in love with someone bigger.


    In common sense, it seems that it should be: love the country more, love others less.


    But it seems that there should be no distinction between big and small. Love is love. It is the most instinctive and sincere emotion of human beings. A person can love another person, he can love his relatives, he can also love a country, a nation, a great land!


    Chen Qi packaged the main melody into something acceptable at the moment, but it was enough to make everyone yell and it was quite earth-shattering.


    "Lao Jiang, how about we have a meeting?"


    "It won''t open. I''ll go find the deputy... No, no, I''ll go directly to Factory Director Wang!"


    He couldn''t wait a moment and went straight to the factory director''s office with the script in hand.


    Wang Yang was drinking tea when he was startled by Jiang Huaiyan who suddenly broke in and said, "What are you doing in such a hurry? Are you going to attack little Japan?" "Now that China and Japan are friendly, don''t say such things!"


    Jiang Huaiyan filmed the script and said, "Don''t you cherish your talent? There is one right in front of you. This script must be filmed!"


    "Oh? It''s not easy for you to value me so much. Please tell me."


    "good!"


    Ever since, Jiang Huaiyan told the newly revised version of "Lushan Love", emphasizing that dialogue.


    “…”


    Wang Yang stood up silently and walked around with his hands behind his back.


    There are too many elements in this story, including love, the Kuomintang, and the United States. There is also a kiss scene, what kind of joke is it on capitalism, a kiss scene!


    A minefield every step of the way!


    What are people most worried about now?


    What people fear most is a change in the direction of the wind.


    Wang Yang didn''t have Chen Qi''s prophetic plug-in. He didn''t understand that "Lushan Love" would definitely be successful, but he had the courage to walk around the room several times, suddenly stamped his feet, and waved his hand: "Shoot!"


    "Not only must it be filmed, but it must also be made a key film in the factory. If anything happens, I will be responsible!"


    "That''s all you have to say!"


    Jiang Huaiyan''s heart was surging, and suddenly he felt a sense of daring to be the first in the world. He felt that he was a martyr. He returned to the Literature Department and raised the script: "Passed!"


    "Very good!"


    "It will definitely become a classic!"


    "We are also honored!"


    "Xiaosheng, hurry up and inform us!"


    "well!"


    Liang Xiaosheng quickly got up and ran out, all the way to the guest house. When he arrived at room 302, he opened the door and shouted: "Xiao Chen, passed!"


    "What happened?"


    "The script has been passed! Director Wang personally said, shoot!"


    "call!"


    Chen Qi, who was about to catch up on his sleep, breathed a sigh of relief, and was actually a little excited, because this version of Te Niang was not a free prostitution, but was written by himself. If you pay, you will be eager to get something in return.


    "That''s right, come out!"


    "What?"


    "You come out first!"


    Liang Xiaosheng called him out, then knocked on the door next door. Chen Huaikai opened the door and said with a smile: "What''s wrong, I heard you shouting."


    "Yes, Xiao Chen''s script passed!"


    "That''s great! Do you want to shout?"


    "become!"


    Liang Xiaosheng took a deep breath, changed from his usual reserved tone, and shouted at the highest volume: "''Lushan Love'' will be heard in court today!"


    "''Lushan Love'' will be heard in court today!"


    The original meaning of interrogation is to be tried in court.


    Because Beijing Film Studio''s script review is too strict, it is extremely difficult to pass, just like going to court. And every screenwriter who successfully went to court couldn''t help shouting. If he didn''t shout, others would shout for him. This was a shared joy, and it became a habit over time.


    As soon as Liang Xiao shouted, everyone on the third floor came out.


    Immediately afterwards, people going up and downstairs also heard it.


    "Congratulations! Congratulations!"


    "So young!"


    "I heard it''s a love movie? It''s not easy!"


    Not only the screenwriter, but also other staff came to get close to each other. It seemed that all of a sudden, this movie became everyone''s business.


    Filmmaking these days is a planned economy, and each film studio has a target every year. For example, Beijing Film Studio shoots seven or eight movies a year. Occasionally there are more, but most of the time they fail to meet the target.


    Sometimes we only shoot two or one film a year.


    This involves funding, scripts, personnel, policies, and more.


    Therefore, every film project is hard-won, which also means that a large number of people will start work. Who can participate and who cannot participate are all undercurrents.


    "Lushan Love" has passed, which means that filming is about to begin.


    Director, actors, behind the scenes...how many people are watching!


    (No more...)
