Basically, I stayed at home, thinking about writing scripts, occasionally watching the drama with my parents, watching the news and chatting, and walking dogs in the community.
Such days, Ba Shi!
At first, Wang Yifan was inspired by Chen Shaojun and wanted to write a story about childhood sweethearts, but after returning home, he suddenly remembered the song "Father", so he simply did the two scripts together.
During this period of time, Wang Yifan finally produced both the scripts of the two stories. Of course, it is only the first draft for the time being.
Of course he cannot make two films at once, so he has to find a director for one of them.
The first thing Wang Yifan thought of was Wang Yue. At the beginning, Wang Yue and him cooperated very well in "Grateful Heart", and Wang Yue had some abilities, but he lacked some luck.
Wang Yue has been very depressed recently. He has saved up a script. Unfortunately, he has not succeeded before, and the first independently directed film hit the street, so it is hard to imagine how difficult it is to invest.
In fact, he is not really short of job opportunities, but he really doesn't want to lay hands on others.
It's a pity that investment is really not so easy these years, especially for directors like Wang Yue who have been on the street but have not been able to get the results.
When Wang Yue was discouraged, he received a call from Wang Yifan.
"Director Wang, I have a book here, are you interested in taking it out for me?" Wang Yifan opened the door straight to the point.
"Yes, of course there must be." Wang Yue was startled when he heard the words, and then said excitedly.
"Then you come to my studio tomorrow, let's have a chat." Wang Yifan smiled.
"Okay, thank you, Director Wang!" Wang Yue said gratefully.
A director with his resume, it is easy to find a job as an assistant director, but almost no one will ask him to direct a film independently.
The next day, Wang Yifan came to the long-lost studio. During this time, Han Dong was very busy. Well, she got used to it. She was the only one in charge of the whole studio.
Seeing Wang Yifan's return, Han Dong said with joy: "Mr. Wang, are you doing a new project?"
"Well, it's almost time to rest. It's time to come back and start work. You have been working hard during this period of time. Later, Wang Yue will come over, and you can help to receive it." Wang Yifan nodded.
Han Dong rolled his eyes, do you know that you are almost resting?
Damn it. Sure enough, those who work part-time don't have human rights. The boss takes rest at every turn, and after a break, she won't see anyone for a long time. Pity her Han Dong, who has almost no vacation.
During this period of time, Wang Yifan was not there, but many people were looking for Wang Yifan, as well as the accounting problems after the movie went offline and the Kyushu in the Tang Dynasty. These were all done by Han Dong with two men.
Of course, Wang Yifan doesn't care about everything, he usually gives instructions remotely via phone or micro-chat.
Soon, Wang Yue came.
"Sit! Take a look at this first." Wang Yifan threw a script to Wang Yue without looking up, and then continued the work at hand, perfecting and revising another script.
Wang Yue took the script and opened it, and the two characters "Little Little" came into view!
Wang Yue also understood Wang Yifan's routines. The outside world called Wang Yifan the director of the music department. Sure enough, this is not only the name of the film, but also the name of the song.
Wang Yue doesn't understand music, but it doesn't prevent him from reading the lyrics.
The lyrics of "Little" are simple and clear, telling the story of two childhood sweethearts.
Turning over the script, Wang Yue read it.
Look at you and I will do mine. After more than an hour passed, Wang Yue closed the script and let out a bitter smile.
He originally wanted to show Wang Yifan the script he had saved, but after reading this "Little" script, Wang Yue felt that his script was shit.
A good story doesn’t need to be photographed. It can be seen only in words. Perhaps Wang Yue can write it. He may not be very good at it, but he is also an experienced person who has been an assistant director for many times, so appreciate The ability of the script is still there.
The story of Wang Yifan’s script can be said to be very simple, but in the simplicity, it is not simple. Because of that simple story, after Wang Yue read it, he couldn’t help but recollect it for a long time, and even made him unable to help. Think of her as a child.
"Did you finish?" I don't know when, Wang Yifan has stopped working, walked out from behind the boss chair, and looked at Wang Yue with a smile.
"Yeah." Wang Yue nodded.
"Are you interested?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.
"Yes, but..." Wang Yue hesitated to speak with some doubts.
"But what?"
"However, I don't understand, why don't you direct yourself?" Wang Yue looked at Wang Yifan and asked.
"Because I have more than this book." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
"Understood!" Wang Yue nodded, people really can't be compared.
"By the way, let me find you a deputy director." Wang Yifan thought for a while and said suddenly.
"Huh?" Wang Yue looked dumbfounded. He thought that Wang Yifan would definitely ask himself about his thoughts on the script next time, and check things like that. In the end, what the was it to help himself find an assistant director?
Is it so casual? Do you decide yourself?
"Well, I have let him over. He is a newcomer, but the story of this script is inspired by him, so you two should cooperate well." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
"Uh, good." Although Wang Yue was still a little confused, his reaction was very quick.
Why didn't Wang Yifan ask? It's very simple, because he doesn't know any other director who is familiar with, Wang Yue, after all, has cooperated, and he can help bring Chen Shaojun.
Another point is that since Wang Yifan loses, the cost of "Little" will not be high, even if it is smashed, it will not lose much, but Wang Yue can't afford to lose, he wants to succeed more than Wang Yifan.
In fact, Wang Yue was extremely moved at this time. Why? Only if you have experienced it will you know how difficult this is.
He took the script to pull investment, begging grandpa to sue grandma, so he rolled his eyes, how many walls did he hit?
And Wang Yifan just because he had been an assistant director for him before, so he trusted himself so much, without mentioning anything, he decided himself directly. There are Taoists who die for the confidant. Although it is still not up to this level, but Enough to make Wang more grateful.
"By the way, the theme song is very important. You need to find a suitable singer to sing. Do you have any ideas? Or who do you think is suitable for singing this song?" Wang Yifan asked suddenly.
Wang Yue shook his head and said, "I am not very familiar with the music scene."
"All right, then I will find someone by myself." Wang Yifan asked casually. In fact, his eyes were blackened. Among the people he knew, Liang Xiqiong was obviously not suitable. If Zhang Zirong said, Wang Yifan would pass again.
Because the song "Little Little" is a kind of melancholy song, but the effect of the song should not be too sad, so it needs a characteristic voice, the effect of the singer Joey Yung of the previous life. , It is the kind with a touch of sadness, but not too sad, on the contrary there is a kind of lovely element.
PS: "Little" is really good, thinking of running in the sunset, that is my lost youth!
Song Title: "Little" Singing: Joey Yung Lyrics: Fang Wenshan Song: Jay Chou
