An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 24: Inspiration is contagious

Just as Hao Yun was looking at the system tasks in a sad state, far away in an apartment in Shangjing, outside the Fifth Ring Road, a middle-aged man was also sitting at his desk with a sad face, facing a blank draft and calendar. Circle the red line "deadline" in a daze.

   It has been a week since he moved to retreat in a small black house in the suburbs.

   However, the script outline of the new movie still has no idea at all, and the dead line that is getting closer and closer has almost forced him to the corner.

   Actually speaking, as a director, Tian Ye doesn't need to worry about scripts.

   After all, this thing is the same as the screenwriters in Mandae.

With his reputation in the industry, no one has any doubt. As long as he is willing to lower the standard, a lot of screenwriters will be happy to send his scripts to him. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t need money, as long as the movie is reported. Be able to give a signature to the chief screenwriter to make his next script a little bit better.

   However, Tian Ye naturally dismisses the garbage delivered to his door.

   As a well-known director, his movies can only be the best of the best.

If there is no ready-made script that can be used by him, he will definitely not take it. Instead, he would rather write an outline and throw it to a familiar professional screenwriter for the current script. Change it until it has an internal taste, and change it until he is satisfied. He nodded.

   However, this process is really painful.

   Especially recently, he hasn't had any inspiration at all, and even after thinking about it, he didn't come up with an idea that would satisfy him.

   But it's not okay to just sit like that.

   Not to mention that his Tianyuan Films still owes the bank loan, and the gambling agreement with the investor has forced him to speed up the progress.

   If he wants to retain his control of the company, he must take out a blockbuster film with a box office of over 50 million this year to convince investors who question his shooting style and commercial value.

   "...There is no inspiration at all."

   hugged his head in pain, Tian Ye got up from the chair, took out his mobile phone and called his old friend.

   "Come and drink with me."

   I heard that there was alcohol, and the answer on the other end of the phone was very simple.

"Where?"

   "My house in the suburbs."

   About an hour later, the doorbell rang.

   pushed aside the chair and stood up in the field, casually approved a coat, went to the entrance and opened the door.

   The door opened, and his old friend Lu Fusheng, a professor of the Music Department of Yan University, who was mainly studying piano and guzheng, appeared at the door. The two met at the beginning of the film crew, and they hit it off because they fell in love with each other. Many of the episodes in Tian Ye's movies were also arranged by him.

"I was in class just now, and there was a traffic jam on the way here. I was delayed for a while. I hope I won't be late." Putting on slippers and walking into the living room, Lu Fusheng said with a smile, "Why, why did you suddenly think of drinking with me? Your new script Got eyebrows?"

   "Don't mention it, I'm not done," he took out two bottles of aged wine from the wine cabinet, walked to the field and sat down by the coffee table and said, "I feel upset when I mention it."

   Lu Fusheng gave him a sideways look.

   "Then you still have time to drink?"

   "It's not that I don't have any inspiration at all. I can use wine to pour my sorrow." I filled myself with a glass, a mouthful of the field, and grinned with spicy teeth, but still forced myself to swallow it.

   couldn't bear to see his old friend in such pain, Lu Fusheng sighed, took a sip, put down the cup and said.

   "Can you reveal any subject matter?"

   Tian Ye thought for a while, half-squinted his eyes and said.

   "The background is ancient times, troubled times, and the theme... a love that envy others!"

   "Well, you just tell me that the costume romance movie is over, and you have to add some envy to others," Lao Lu laughed, took a sip of wine, and continued to ask, "What then?"

"Gone."

   "Huh?" Lu Fusheng stared down, looked at his old friend in disbelief, "You have been in seclusion for a week, so how about these words?"

   Tian Ye gave an explanation with a wry smile.

   "You are also a creative person, you should understand the feeling of exhaustion. And I don't just make up these words, I have used a few big waste paper baskets just for the draft paper..."

   stared at his old friend for a long time, Lu Fusheng seemed to understand something, and finally sighed softly.

   "I probably understand what you mean... You want to make a movie that can surpass "The Knight", right?"

   Old Tian nodded silently.

   "Well... if I can't make it, they will force me to take a movie of Xia Ke 2."

"Xia Ke" is Lao Tian's pinnacle work. It is the first martial arts film in the history of Xia Guo's film that fully interprets the words "chivalrous" and "jianghu". It is also the first film in the history of Xia Guo to incorporate romanticism and personal The combination of heroism is an epic masterpiece with both word of mouth and box office.

  Before that, Xia Guo’s martial arts films were either too personal heroism and not well-received, or the romanticism and atmosphere were over-represented and not well-received.

   Many well-known film critics commented on "The Knight", which is more like a volume of poems about the world than a movie.

   Whether it is an audience holding popcorn or an old scholastic wearing glasses, they can understand their own "chivalrous" and "jianghu", and are moved by the characters in the play and the magnificent era.

   It can be said that "The Knight" has not only opened a precedent in many fields, but also brought Xia Guo's martial arts movies to a new level.

   This movie has brought great success to Tian Ye's career, but on the other hand, it also made a deep mark on him.

   When people mention his name, they think of the movie "The Knight".

After   , although he also made a few movies, none of them can surpass his debut work in the box office and word of mouth.

   debut is the peak, which is obviously not what an ambitious director expected to see.

   Later, Tian Ye always wanted to get rid of the mark of "The Knight" and tried to innovate on the original basis, but the audience and investors did not seem to buy it.

After the failure of the two long-prepared masterpieces, the confidence and tolerance of investors and banks dropped to the limit, especially at the most recent partner meeting, when a partner representative stepped up to give him an order. Ultimatum.

   30 million investment.

   If you lose money again, then shoot "Knight 2"!

   Although this seems to be the most stable choice, it is also the choice Tian Ye is the least willing to accept.

   Although "Knight" is a brand he can't get rid of, it is also a work he created by himself, and it looks like his child to him. And now someone wants to choke it to death by himself and squeeze out the last trace of its value. Of course, his dad can't agree to it!

   However, it is not so easy to complete the conditions put forward by investors.

  According to the law of three times, if the cost of 30 million is not lost, then at least 90 million will be earned at the box office. Even if the box office ceiling has been refreshed every year in recent years, it is definitely not an easy task to achieve this result.

   What's more, the budget of 30 million is a very tight figure for him...

   "There is no need to think about big productions. I don't have that much budget to capture the audience through special effects. And I thought that if you want to surpass "The Knight", you must find an entry point on the short board of "The Knight"."

   Lu Fusheng thought about it.

   "Love?"

   Tian Ye nodded with a heavy expression.

   "That's right."

   Although the knight has achieved good results in many fields, it is the missing piece only in the line of love.

On the one hand, because the rivers and lakes he described have only the hurried gratitude and the killing and decisiveness of swords, poetry and wine, there are not too many children's loves, on the other hand, the length of the film is limited, only one or two can be selected. If you focus on it, too much is bloated.

   And if you want to break through yourself, you can only use this field he has never set foot in as the starting point to describe a "Knight" as the rivers and lakes that have been described.

   Even though, this is not an easy task.

   Looking at the old friend whose face was full of distress, Lu Fusheng lifted his wine glass and took a sip, then slapped his lips and said.

   "It's a pity that I'm a music player, and scripts can't help you much. However, if you are in a bad mood, I just happened to hear a good song here recently, and I plan to share it with you and listen to it."

   "Music?" Tian Ye poured himself another glass, and said indifferently, "Piano music?"

"In your eyes, do I only study piano?" Lu Fusheng smiled, waved his hand and said, "Unfortunately, what I intend to listen to you is really not a piano song, but a popular song that has become quite popular recently. ...Although it is indeed accompanied by piano."

   "Ha, then I have to listen," Tian Ye said jokingly after a cup with an old friend, "But when did you guys become interested in pop music?"

   Lu Fusheng smiled and didn't explain, he took out the phone and opened the playback software, and then put the phone on the coffee table.

   The prelude sounded slowly, as if coming from a distance.

   Tian Ye frowned, just about to listen carefully, and the hoarse and delicate voice blew into his ears along with the sound of an ancient bell-like piano.

   "The bustling sound escaped into the empty door and broke the world,"

   "The dream is cold, and there are several copies of the love debts for a lifetime."

   The first paragraph was not finished, and the moving melody and poetic lyrics caught him firmly.

   Looking at the moving expression on the old friend's face, Lu Fusheng smiled and lifted the cup and took a sip.

   "It seems that you haven't been online for the past few days, so you dare not listen to it."

   "Don't make any noise," raised his hand, Tian Ye sat upright, leaned closer to the phone with his brows frowned, and whispered, "Wait for me to finish listening."

   Seeing that his old friend was so engaged, Lu Fusheng smiled in his heart, and stopped talking, quietly accompanied him to appreciate the sound of the rain that traveled through time and space.

   The rain outside Garan Temple lasted four minutes.

   Although it is not long, in Tian Ye's heart, it seems like a century has been lost.

   Until the last sentence "Garan Temple listens to the rain and hopes for eternity" ~www.ltnovel.com~ He hasn't recovered for a long time with his sluggish eyes.

   That song, that word, that song...

   is like a key, opening a door to a new world in his heart!

   Looking at the shocked expression on the old friend's face, Lu Fusheng's face showed such a smile as expected, put down the wine glass in his hand, and slowly spoke.

   "This song has inspired me a lot."

   "I have been researching how to incorporate elements of national style into Western music over the years, and the magical effect of this piece on the bias of'changing palace' is simply a textbook innovation."

"Before that, regardless of whether it is popular or non-pop, we usually try to avoid the 4 and 7 notes on the staff when composing national style piano music. But after listening to this piece , I suddenly had a new understanding of composition."

   "Of course, in addition to the tune, I also like its words very much. The poetic feeling does not require much artificial rhetoric, and the description of feelings and artistic conception is just as good as the ending sound of xi."

   "At this point, it looks like your movie."

  The words were not finished, Tian Ye suddenly stood up from the sofa as if he was recollecting.

   Looking at the old friend who suddenly got up, Lu Fusheng was slightly taken aback.

   "What's wrong with you...?"

   Tian Ye did not answer, but quickly took out his mobile phone, quickly swiped the address book with his trembling thumb with excitement, and called his own "Queen Editor".

   The call is connected soon.

   Tian Ye didn't say anything nonsense, and said in a commanding tone.

   "Now you immediately put down your work and come to me."

   "Yes, the new script already has an eyebrow, I want to talk to you about the outline of the script!"
