Chapter 528 The Secret That Cannot Be Told (asking for monthly ticket)

On the day of the concert, everyone got together for a simple rehearsal.

After all, we need to find the status and test the equipment.

Zhou Xun is Park Seol's ex, but there is nothing awkward between the two of them.

Still like friends.

Zhou Xun even had dinner with the Park Seol couple.

It’s easy to fall in love with this circle, but it seems easy to let go of it.

Xu Wei also arrived early.

He has two concerts planned this year.

There was one held in the capital in August, and there will be another one in Tianjin in December.

He auditioned very seriously and rehearsed on the spot.

Musicians of this era are all very serious. After all, having gone through the difficult days when their careers were uncertain, Xu Wei even almost gave up her music career.

He cherishes his current stable life and career.

Jay Chou and Guanxi Chen also came over.

As everyone sat together listening to Xu Wei sing "Blue Lotus", it was inevitable that they felt a lot of confusion.

If you listen to Xu Wei and Park Seol's songs too much, people will have problems.

"What is this?" Hao Yun was surprised when Jay Chou handed him a paper bag.

Is it filled with cash?

"This is the script I wrote. I've always wanted to be a director, and I hope to make a movie about music or young people. I mentioned it last time, and I want you to help me take a look at it." Jay Chou was a little embarrassed.

He was just a singer who suddenly got involved in the film and television industry as an actor.

Now he has started to work as a screenwriter and director.

I don’t know if people will misunderstand me as not doing my job properly.

"So fast, you're really good." Hao Yun, who had been idle for a long time, smiled and opened the file bag.

It feels like peeking into someone else's diary.

Hao Yun read very slowly, not because he was reading the script for his brother, so he read it very carefully.

It's because the script is a bit too complicated.

This movie tells the story of a piano genius named Ye Xianglun who transfers to an art school and meets Lu Xiaoyu who plays mysterious piano music in an old piano practice room, which then unfolds a fantasy love story.

The first half of the script does tell a subtle and touching love story.

But soon, Hao Yun discovered that this was a love that traveled between two eras and spanned time and space.

Hao Yun has watched a huge amount of films, perhaps more than many professional directors.

I have also come across many scripts.

I also got a lot of the screenwriter's attributes.

With the accumulation of time, Hao Yun's level is definitely not much worse than that of ordinary screenwriters.

So, he quickly realized that there were two big problems with the script.

One is that the script seems to be pieced together.

There are a few obvious clips, and Hao Yun has seen the original work.

One is that Xiaoyu travels through time and space to meet Xiaolun 20 years later. The two fall in love with each other, but always miss each other in surprise and regret. It has the shadow of "Unforgettable Lovers".

"Unforgettable" is a romantic film directed by Lee Hyun-seung and starring Lee Jung-jae and Jun Ji-hyun. It was released in 2000.

There is another one, Xiaoyu and Xiaolun in real life sit in front of the piano and play a beautiful and romantic four-hand piano duet, which is very similar to "Ghost".

In addition, the piano-playing competition between Xiaolun and his senior also draws on the classic scene from "The Legend of 1900".

"The Legend of 98" is a classic work in .

Last but not least, the scene where Xiaolun and Xiaoyu have a conversation across time and space using correction fluid on the desk is a replica of the conversation between Harry and Voldemort across time and space through the notebook in "Harry Potter".

However, these are not big problems.

This kind of similar plot, or tribute plot, will not be accused of plagiarism no matter where it is taken.

Hao Yun's "Labyrinth of the Heart" also has some shadows of classic movies.

Therefore, Hao Yun thinks that the first question is not a problem.

This is exactly where Jay Chou is smart.

It is best for a newcomer not to aim too high for his or her first work, and the industry is also very tolerant of this approach.

However, the second problem is fatal.

"Jay, there is a big problem..." Hao Yun felt that there were many other areas that could be improved, but if this second problem was not solved, Jay Chou would probably lose both fame and fortune.

"What's the problem?" Zhou Jielun perked up. "Don't you think the threshold for watching movies is a bit high? I guess most people can't understand it, at least not after watching it once. If they can't understand it the first time, do you think they will just call it a bad movie, or buy a ticket to watch it again, or even watch it three or five times?"

Hao Yun felt that this question was too fatal.

"The Heart Labyrinth" also has similar problems.

But even if you don't fully understand it, or only understand half of it, it doesn't affect the fact that it is a good story.

What's more, the target audience of "The Heart Labyrinth" is suspense film lovers.

However, "Secret" is a movie that most romance film lovers go to the cinema to watch.

It cannot be said that there is a gap in IQ between the two types of movie fans, but at least there is an insurmountable gap in deciphering.

Hao Yun spoke frankly because he saw that Jay Chou was his brother.

If you ask other screenwriters, they will definitely say that the script is very good, the creativity is also very good, and all the foreshadowing and settings have been polished very well.

"How do you think I should change it?" Zhou Jielun asked Hao Yun.

After hearing what Hao Yun said, he also felt that this story was indeed not easy to understand due to the setting and structure of the story.

Several of them studied the script over and over again, and they had no difficulty in understanding it.

The darkest place under the lamp ignores the question of whether others can understand it the first time they see it.

"One is 79, and the other is 99. For different time and space, you can choose to use different tones, or some other things that readers can discover, to serve as a 'mark' to identify which time and space it belongs to." These were all Hao Yun could think of for a while.

"That's a good idea." Jay Chou nodded vigorously.

"Another thing is that you made the story so pure in the first half, but the emotional foreshadowing was actually not enough..." Hao Yun made a few more suggestions.

"Emotional foreshadowing...haha!" Chen Guanxi, who had just returned from rehearsal, burst into laughter when he heard this.

What kind of preparation is this? You already know each other but you don't even go get a room. Are you waiting for the New Year or something?

"Shut up!" Hao Yun and Zhou Jielun scolded him together.

Then Jay Chou thought for a moment and said:

"You think it makes sense. The main reason is that the story structure of the movie is relatively complicated, and it is necessary to make enough foreshadowing and settings. If you can use a simpler method to make the audience understand, you can spend more time on the emotions."

Hao Yun deserves to be the best screenwriter at Cannes, he really helped him see a lot of problems.

"For the first film, the main thing is to polish the script. Once the script is polished, all you have to do is find the right person to play the role."

This is how Hao Yun did it.

"Ayun, are you interested in acting? How about you and An Xiaoxi playing the male and female lead?"

Jay Chou doesn't necessarily have to play the role himself.

He knows his own business. As for his acting skills, the reason why he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer is because the role is highly compatible with him.

His own immature performance just matches Takumi's character.

If he changes his character, his acting skills will become the shortcoming of the movie. It would be better to ask Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi to play the role.

He admires Hao Yun's acting skills, as he can play any type of role.

His main job is a singer, and Hao Yun's main job is an actor.

"Forget it, just figure it out and act it yourself. It will help you understand the movie more deeply."

Hao Yun thought the script was okay, but he didn't plan to bring An Xiaoxi to act.

"We can let Xixi and Jay act." Chen Guanxi squeezed in between the two of them, picked up a bottle of mineral water and drank half of it in gulps.

"We'll officially start after rehearsal, so be careful not to pee too much and go to the toilet," Hao Yun first complained about Chen Guanxi, then said seriously, "I've read the script, but I don't think it's suitable for An Xiaoxi. Do you remember Gui Lunmei who presented you the Golden Horse Award? I think she's quite suitable."

"I'll think about it and revise the script first."

Jay Chou never thought of asking An Xiaoxi to play the role, it was Chen Guanxi who said that.

An Xiaoxi has been replaced on the stage for rehearsal. She has arranged to sing four songs today, two of which are duets with Hao Yun.

One is "Wind Blowing Wheat Waves" and the other is "Dimples".

Without "Marry Me Today", Hao Yun has been rehearsing this song whenever he has time during this period of time. He almost vomited from rehearsing.

"Come on, this movie is of great quality, but you have to be prepared to be criticized, just like me. When my movie Labyrinth of the Heart was first released, many people questioned whether it was Uncle Jiang who used my name to make the movie."

Hao Yun reminded Zhou Jielun.

A new director, and a new director who was originally a singer, will definitely face more doubts than an ordinary director.

There is no way to even dispel this doubt.

Unless you make a better movie than your debut.

If you don’t believe it, just look at Chen Kaige and you’ll know.

He broke the rumor that Farewell My Concubine was ghostwritten by his father. He didn't need any evidence. He just needed to make a better movie than Farewell My Concubine.
