Chapter 23 Absurd but not absurd

The two were fighting each other happily, but the atmosphere on the set became more and more lazy. The meeting was a bit unusually long, and the staff had already started to talk, all guessing what was going on in the senior management?

More than an hour passed, and the main creator came late. As a representative, Liu Shi announced loudly to everyone: "Today's work! Two days off! Keep in touch with each other and pay attention to the crew's notifications at all times!"

"Ah?" exclaimed in unison, and then the whole set was full of inquiries.

Liu Shi had no intention of explaining at all. He just looked around and finally found Huo Dong, and then hurriedly ran over: "Dongzi, you can follow me now, so it's okay to ask you to help?"

"Me?" Huo Dong was shocked, "Brother Shitou, what are you going to do with me?"

Looking around, Liu Shi whispered, "Don't ask anything here, come back to the hotel with me first!" He was in a very bad mood, and then he finally couldn't help but curse, "Fuck!"

The hotel is not far from the set, and soon we arrived at Liu Shi's room. When he arrived here, Liu Shi stopped hiding it and began to talk about the whole story in detail.

The problem lies in the script, and this is a process of gradually accumulating contradictions.

As someone who bought the adaptation rights of "The Immortal Palace", Ye Guicheng must want a big male lead role. In other words, everyone else is full of stars, so it is necessary to focus on Ye Guicheng's role.

This is actually nothing wrong with it. However, for the first time, Ye Guicheng did not have much confidence in himself. So he added insurance to ensure the absolute success of the work.

First, Hu Junjun was invited to ensure the large traffic of male and female CPs, and then Sun Gang was invited to ensure that his acting skills were above the level. Later, Tao Xue was invited, and someone took the initiative to bear part of the investment risks.

It should be said that the idea is very good. But those who are willing to accept the invitation will definitely have their own conditions.

Among them, the biggest problem lies with Hu Junjun. When he accepted the invitation, the screen idol CP and female lead were responsible, which sounded beautiful, but there seemed to be no problem. But after getting the script, Hu Junjun's team found that it was just a vase character and the role became insignificant, which was completely different from what he said when signing a contract. How could he bear it?

To be honest, Hu Junjun is not wrong here. For actors, there are only two things to fight for - one is the role that can be played, and the other is the appearance rate. Don’t pay attention to the saying “There are no unimportant roles, only inadequate performances”, which is a chicken soup article to fool newcomers. Of course, the longer the appearance, the better. Otherwise, why should we divide it into the protagonist and the supporting role?

Anyway, Hu Junjun was very dissatisfied. But the crew had already completed preparations, so we couldn't push it back, right? So after discussing, Ye Guicheng made some compromises here. First, Hu Junjun's role was increased. Later, Hu Junjun was still not satisfied, so she invited the screenwriter to discuss the adaptation of the script with Ye Guicheng's screenwriter team.

I kept stumbling and finally started filming while adapting. However, can such a screenwriter be long-lasting? I am confronting each other every day and no longer regarding scripts as my main job, and I am busy fighting for cameras for my employer?

So just now, the conflict finally broke out!

At the meeting just now, Hu Junjun suggested that she still had about 50 fewer shots than Ye Guicheng. It is acceptable to have a little less, but at least 30 shots are added to achieve a balance!

But Ye Guicheng really has no choice. If Hu Junjun is added, the script needs to be greatly modified. And the scenes of Sun Gang and Tao Xue need to be reduced.

However, Sun Gang and Tao Xue were also unable to bear it anymore. They refused to give in. No matter how you discuss, their roles must not be missing.

Do you understand? This contradiction is almost irreconcilable. So to the end of the noise, it is almost at the brink of breaking.

I found that the crew was on the verge of disbanding, which forced the producers to be impatient. This was a big investment of more than 100 million yuan!

In desperation, after some discussion, the general producer simply cut off the mess and made the following decision: Let all the screenwriters in the screenwriter get out! None of them will be left behind! Completely eliminate this hidden danger. Designate a new screenwriter and revise a new script within two days, which will never affect the crew's shooting. In addition, in the new script, Ye Guicheng's original scenes must be guaranteed; 30 shots of Hu Junjun must be added; and the scenes of Sun Gang and Tao Xue must not be reduced.

Anyway, we must meet everyone's requirements. As for how that screenwriter does it? Who will care? That's your business! Our producers don't care about creation, they just make requirements!

Obviously, this is almost a scoundrel. And the new screenwriter named Liu Shi with the will.

Liu Shi is a veteran director in China. After struggling for so many years, he can be said to be familiar with every position in the crew. In addition, the directors are not separated, and a qualified director is a qualified screenwriter himself. In addition, he is very familiar with the original script and is simply a candidate.

OK! Now the pressure is on Liu Shi. Then just bite the bullet!

Not to mention how depressed Liu Shi was at this time. When he thought, he couldn't fight alone, but he still needed to find a few assistants. With a sudden inspiration, Liu Shi thought of Huo Dong. Isn't it from the "directorship department"? And the young man worked very hard. If he started, he could at least take on part of the work.

After hearing this, Huo Dong was already dumbfounded. He was not the one who broke the director's department at all, and he knew nothing about it.

Unexpectedly, before Huo Dong could speak, Liu Shi asked: "Let's ignore the rest for now. First of all, we must have ideas. Let's talk about it, don't be afraid of saying something wrong. To meet all requirements, how should the script be adapted? And it should be fast, and the overall structure cannot be greatly changed?"

Huo Dong was fine when it came up with some ideas. So he casually replied: "To make everyone satisfied, it's nothing more than one addition and one subtraction. Adding is to go on a group show. If the four leading actors appear together, there will be more or less. Subtraction is to cut off some supporting scenes and add them to the leading actors."

Although what Huo Dong said seems to be simple, this is a certain conditioned reflex cultivated in long-term business planning. Most people really cannot do such a summary.

So he immediately inspired Liu Shi. He thought for a while and smiled: "Okay! I have asked them to send a few computers, and we will start working later."

"No, no." Huo Dong felt it was ridiculous, "Brother Shitou, I am really not from the director department, I am just an idol trainee."

"Oh?" Liu Shi looked at Huo Dong unexpectedly, "Then you have the talent to be a screenwriter. Don't waste it, learn to do it together!"
