1978 Synthetic Writers

Chapter 102 Review

Chapter 102 Review
Three days later, morning.

“This manuscript is good!”

Wang Yang's face showed great excitement. "It is both educational and entertaining. It is both ideological and entertaining!"

Jiang Huaiyan, who was called over, picked up the bamboo thermos beside him and poured him a glass of water.

"This Jiang Xian is really good at helping us solve problems. You can trade three screenwriters for him. This deal is worth it."

"This matter has nothing to do with Jiang Xian. It is only right to deal with the three of them. It is the ethos of the factory."

Wang Yang took a sip of water and said, "Anyway, let's show them the script first. After they have read it, they should come to a conclusion as soon as possible on whether it is acceptable or not, and whether it should be filmed or not."

"I didn't expect that the border town could be cut out so quickly." Zhu Lin was incredulous.

As one of the actors, she was also invited to watch the rough cut of "Border Town".

"Have you read the script I gave you?" Jiang Xian asked.

Zhu Lin blinked her eyes and said, "I saw it, it's quite interesting."

She needs a play like this to gain experience.

Gong Xue, who is as famous as Zhu Lin, had already played the leading female role in the movie "Jiehong" at that time.

However, because it was her first time on screen, Gong Xue's performance was rather average.

"It's been a long time since I last came to the Beijing Film Studio." Zhu Lin felt a little nostalgic.

"It's still early. I'll walk around with you."

The two of them strolled in the yard. It was cold at the moment, and there were basically no people in the yard, but Jiang Xian still saw a familiar figure.

Although Chen Peisi has hair now, he has a natural comic face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and still looks like a walking emoticon package.

He stood next to his father Chen Qiang, who looked like an old Chen Peisi.

Chen Peisi is not an actor from Beijing Film Studio, he was transferred here for filming. Beijing Film Studio has high requirements for the appearance of male actors. There is a popular saying now: "Beijing Film Studio is full of handsome men, Shanghai Film Studio is full of beautiful women, the good actors of Bayi Film Studio are all heroic, and the old actors of Changchun Film Studio are all excellent in acting."

"Good morning, Teacher Chen." Jiang Xian greeted.

"Oh, hello comrade!" Chen Qiang also replied.

Chen Xiaoer imitated his father and nodded jokingly beside him, "Hello, comrade."

Jiang Xian and Zhu Lin walked a little further before giving instructions, "Look at that young actor. Let him put on a little makeup and play a middle-aged man in his 40s. There will be absolutely no problem."

Zhu Lin felt very psychologically burdened after hearing this.

"Hey, let's not talk about others behind their backs."

"I'm not talking, I'm discussing," Jiang Xian said righteously.

What he said is not groundless. He has seen photos of Chen Peisi when he was young and playing middle-aged people. He can only say that some people look like 20 years old at the age of 40, and some look like 40 years old at the age of 20.

"Jiang Xian!"

The two of them were strolling and ran into Jiang Huaiyan head-on.

"Come on, come on, why are you still wandering around outside? Have you forgotten what happened today?"

"It's okay. I have it all planned out."

"Go quickly, many people are waiting for you." Zhu Lin pushed him.

I followed Jiang Huaiyan to the main building of the Beijing Film Studio, went up to the east side of the 3rd floor, and entered a small office.

In addition to Wang Yang, there were several editors and several leaders standing inside, a total of seventeen people, all responsible for reviewing the script of today's "Traffic".

Whether the script is passed or not depends on their expressions.

The sixteen reviewers have voting rights, and Wang Yang, as the factory director, has a veto power.

At this moment, people in the room were passing manuscripts around and whispering to each other.

"Jiang Xian is here?" Wang Yang asked, and everyone in the room looked at him.

"Teacher Jiang, please sit down." Shi Naixin considerately brought him a chair and poured him a glass of water.

"I believe you are ready. Let's talk about the script of "Traffic" here today." Wang Yang said, "First, tell me, how did you come up with the idea of writing this script?"

Jiang Xian took a sip of water and thought for a moment.

"I noticed the problem of horse-drawn carriages entering Beijing a long time ago. It affects the appearance of the city, but it is difficult to manage. This is a topic worth exploring in our social production and life, and it has always existed.

When I focused on this issue, I found that this kind of modern urbanization reform policy would inevitably lead to the core conflict of the replacement of the old with the new. So I wondered if I could expand this conflict and extend it to the contradiction between the younger generation and the older generation, thereby adding to the dramatic effect.

Like "Li Shuangshuang", it is a humorous family drama that is both entertaining and educational. I followed this idea and created it bit by bit. Finally, after some twists and turns, I wrote such a script. "

After he finished speaking, Wang Yang nodded and said, "Young people just have ideas."

"People are writers at different levels. They can write a script with ease."

"The horse-drawn carriage problem in the suburbs of Beijing has always existed. No one thought of writing a script, but someone else did."

“This is the writer’s subtle observation.”

"."

Jiang Xian listened quietly.

In fact, this film, which reflects the problems in the suburbs of Beijing, was actually shot by the Shanghai Film Studio.

The Shanghai Film Studio is located in Shanghai, but it particularly likes to shoot films in the old city. "A Little Reunion" was also shot by the Shanghai Film Studio, which captured the appearance of the old capital in the 20s in Shanghai.

However, this is also related to the shooting characteristics of each major studio. Shanghai Film Studio likes to shoot urban films, Changchun Film Studio shoots industrial films, and the Bayi Film Studio naturally shoots combat films.

As for this movie "Cars and Water".
This is the work of a Beijing screenwriter named Zhao Danian, who is a famous writer of the Beijing Agricultural Machinery Bureau. Movies such as "The Piano Boy", "Traffic and Traffic" and "Contemporary People" are all from his pen. They have caused a sensation across the country and are quite classic.

The story of "Traffic" is not complicated.

One bright line and one dark line.

Main plot: The heroine Ai Jinghua, as a department cadre, came to the outskirts of Beijing to equip the commune with a batch of cars to replace horse-drawn carriages to deliver vegetables to the city, but was stubbornly opposed by the old carriage drivers headed by Ma Dachet.

Hidden plot: Ai Jinghua is Ma Dache's daughter-in-law who has not yet married. Ma Dache's son has joined the army. There are only a few shots of her in the whole movie, so Ma Dache has no idea about this relationship.

This is actually a bit like the online novels of later generations. The audience has the "information gap" and knows the underlying relationship between Ai Jinghua and Ma Dache. When they see the father-in-law trying his best to use tricks to deal with his daughter-in-law, it brings a strong sense of satisfaction and comedy effect.

Many old movies created by the times have faded away later, but "Car and Drifters" is still one that can attract people to watch.

After chatting for a while, Wang Yang began to comment.

"The core of your script is a reform movie about the conflict between the old and the new, with the future father-in-law and daughter-in-law added in. It lays out the foreshadowing and then unfolds it one by one, adding many layers. It is very thoughtfully written.

It is this ending, the change in the father-in-law's concept, which only breaks through the layer of cellophane and makes him realize his mistake. The intention becomes weak, but this limitation is not a problem you can solve. Overall, it is already very good.

"Does anyone have any opinions about this script?" Jiang Huaiyan asked.

“I have a few more suggestions.”

Several editors pointed these out to Jiang Xian and asked him to go back and revise the issues, and then they agreed to approve the manuscript.

"I have no objection."

"I also want to mention a small glitch that needs to be corrected."

“I don’t think I can pass.”

"."

A group of people took turns to express their opinions.

Of the seventeen people, fourteen thought it could be passed and two disagreed.

The final decision is left to Wang Yang.

The office was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

He pondered for a moment and gave his final opinion.
