Chapter 327 Demolition?

The waiter quickly came over to serve tea, Cheng Suping thanked him, picked up the teapot himself, poured a cup for each of them, and then looked at Li Qian with a smile on his face.

Li Qian turned the page and looked at the beginning, and was sure it was correct without any changes, so he turned back to the first page, raised his head, and gave a wry smile helplessly.

Cheng Suping also smiled, pointed to the first page of the script, and asked, "That Li Qian, is this Li Qian?"

Li Qian nodded, closed his notebook, and asked, "Who looked for you? Which character?"

Cheng Suping said: "That's Director Yu. Brother Wang brought him to listen to one of my plays, and then they went to the backstage, and talked first, and the next day, he sent the notebook to my house I went. She said she wanted me to play the leading role, Scallion."

Li Qian nodded, thought for a while, and asked, "Then you...agreed?"

Cheng Suping smiled upon hearing this, "I don't want to listen to your suggestion! You are also one of the screenwriters!"

Li Qian thought for a while, and said: "Brother Yu, we have a very good relationship, this is true. This book was also saved for him by me and Brother Cao. There are even a lot of scenes here, which I personally Written with a pen..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, raised his head and looked at Cheng Suying, and suddenly asked: "Sister, in fact, you prefer acting in film and television dramas compared to singing, right?"

Cheng Suping didn't look surprised when he heard the words, but just thought about it for a while, then smiled and said: "That's right, that's not right. I actually like them quite a bit. It's just that... now singing is my old profession." Well, I want to try something new too."

Li Qian nodded, "So, are you going to pick it up?"

Cheng Suping smiled again when she heard the words, "I have been graduating for several years, this is the first play that came to me! ... Well, that's right, I want to try and see if I can act like this." play."

Li Qian sighed in his heart when he heard the words, a little tangled.

This drama, let's say it is simple, is actually not complicated, but if we say it is not simple, it is really not a simple drama.

This story is about the period of the Republic of China, that is, the period when the Shun Dynasty had perished but the new China had not yet been established. Modern consciousness was gradually entering the country and began to affect many people. At this time, there was an old man from the former Dynasty in Shuntian Prefecture. At home, there is a maid who has sold herself. Because she is clumsy and can't serve people well, she is sent to the kitchen to help the cook chop vegetables. Everyone calls her "Scallion". Basically, she was the lowest-status person in society at the time.

She was ignorant at the beginning, and was deceived by the housekeeper who was in charge of buying vegetables, but the housekeeper refused to marry her as a concubine, not because he was afraid of his wife, but mainly because Onion Flower was a "slave" and could only be rationed to the family. slaves, give birth to offspring and continue to be slaves. However, he has always maintained a lover relationship with Cong Hua'er, and later introduced her to a good friend of his, who is an accountant, and even, under his introduction, Cong Hua'er even slept with a pig butcher, because The butler wants to buy meat at a lower price and get more kickbacks from it.

In short, without knowing it, Scallion has almost become a social butterfly of the bottom society.

But Cong Hua'er was very resigned to her fate, and kept resigning herself to it. She just begged the housekeeper to let him be a relative for her, and not let her marry a servant of her own family in the future, because she didn't want her child to be a servant of others in the future. The butler kept agreeing, saying that he was going to tell her to his distant nephew.

So Cong Hua'er was ignorantly acting as the butler's underground lover and courtesan in the hands of the butler, while looking forward to the future marriage. She even went to sneak a peek at the housekeeper's distant nephew. Although she didn't quite agree with him, thinking that he was stupid and very dark, but because the man was free and a commoner, her heart There is no thought of resistance, just thinking about marrying a chicken as a chicken and marrying a dog as a dog, and imagining a bright future where future generations will no longer be slaves.

But she didn't know that the butler was just lying to her.

He is a little housekeeper in charge of purchasing, how can he have the right to marry off the owner's property?

So, facing Cong Hua'er's request, he kept evading it with excuses, but patted his chest and said it was okay. Later, the news came that his distant nephew got married.

Cong Hua'er was furious, feeling that she had been cheated, and once tried to kill the housekeeper with a knife. But who is she, who is the housekeeper? Facing her kitchen knife, the housekeeper scolded her, but she flinched from the scolding. The housekeeper told her that she was just the most despicable slave, in this life and in the next life, she would never be able to marry freely.

After the hope in his heart was extinguished, Onion Flower became more and more dissolute. She even became a "sister" in some people's mouths, and she gradually became numb in the face of those ugly guys.

Later, with the introduction of freedom awareness in modern society, the concept of freedom of marriage and freedom of love also came in. Even at this time, the veterans who had been scolding the revolutionary party all the time turned into new figures and began to serve as the Shun Members of Tianfu, at home and abroad, talk about democracy and freedom. Scallion flower was gradually affected by what it heard and saw, and it began to have thoughts in its heart.

At this time, by chance, she met a college student, and helped him hide in the congressman's house, allowing him to escape the arrest. Then, needless to say, a young college student who is full of new ideas, new thinking, and democracy and freedom in his family, country, and world, Cong Huaer fell in love with him almost immediately.

Then, she seemed to come back to life suddenly.

She began to break free from the shackles on her own initiative, and often slipped out to listen to the lectures given by the college student. The two of them had frequent contact, and then, the two of them finally slept together. For that night, she even secretly used chicken blood to make a handkerchief, trying to hide it from herself is no longer good. The fact that she was a woman, and the college student didn't seem to notice it.

Then, the college student left. According to him, the revolution was about to win and he was going to join the army. He also said that when he came back, he would marry her in a good manner. So, after he left, Cong Hua'er waited expectantly. Her former lovers, the housekeeper, and the accountant came to tease her one after another, but she turned on them with kitchen knives, scaring those people from approaching her again.

But more than a year later, Cong Hua'er was almost 20 years old. According to the rules, she was married to another servant by the master of the family. Cong Hua'er firmly disagreed, and told the old lady about democracy and freedom. The old man was furious, beat her up, ignored her objection, and ordered her to marry.

But the drama is that the next day, the revolutionary army entered the city.

A woman who was on good terms with Cong Huaer told her that she had seen that college student in a jeep and wearing a sharp military uniform, and he seemed to have become a high-ranking official. Scallion is very happy, full of expectations.

When the news got out, even the big housekeeper in the mansion looked at her differently, and her former housekeeper lover also came with his wife, begging for forgiveness in tears. Everyone is talking about chopped green onion as a legend.

All of these seem to indicate that the democracy, freedom, and love that Cong Huaer has been pursuing are finally coming.

And sure enough, as the situation in the city gradually stabilized, about ten days after the revolutionary army entered the city, just when the green onions were about to see through, the college student really came to the door.

Onion Flower was overjoyed, but then, the news came that he came to propose marriage to the former MP, and he fell in love with the third daughter of the MP, and the nervous MP was overjoyed, so he agreed at that time, and the wedding date was set in one month. .

After Conghua'er got the news, she found the yamen where the college student was, but she was kicked out without even seeing him, but she went there every day, like crazy. Later, when the college student came out, she questioned him, but the other party replied with a sneer: You are no longer good enough for me.

So, one month later, on the night of the college student's wedding, Onion Flower hanged herself to death.

…………

After the script comes out, according to Yu Bojun's estimate, it will take about two hours.

And to be honest, the story itself is not novel, nor does it have much story tension, plus it is destined to be rather lengthy and slow, and it is destined that this film will never become a blockbuster.

In people's minds, even in the eyes of many directors, screenwriters, and producers who have been in the film industry for many years, it can't be a commercial blockbuster, it seems that it can only be called a literary film?

In fact, literary films are not so cheap!

It doesn't mean that it can be very "literary" if it is not commercial.

In Li Qian's view, besides commercial films and literary films, there is another kind of films called bad films.

And the book that he, Cao Zhan, and Yu Bojun worked out, if it falls into the hands of some extremely powerful directors, maybe it can really be full of vitality, and it can really be made into a shocking, even tortured human nature. Literary films, but it fell into the hands of Yu Bojun who was just preparing to use it for practice... This guy has been very careless in making commercial films for so many years. You expect him to suddenly switch to making literary films, how much he can show High standard?

Therefore, even if it is not made into a bad movie, in Li Qian's opinion, it is probably just average.

The reason is very simple, the script itself is a bit lacking in penetrating power, I always feel that there is still a layer of separation, and I haven't fully explained it, and the director's skill must also be a bit lacking...

If Yu Bojun found another actor, Li Qian had nothing to do with him and would be too lazy to talk to him, but he chose Cheng Suping to play this "Scallion Flower", Li Qian felt a little tangled in his heart.

Picking up the cup and taking a sip of tea, he raised his head and looked at Cheng Suping, and said slowly: "Although I have a part to participate in this book, I still feel... Sis, why don't you think about this book? "

When Cheng Suping heard the words, he glanced at Li Qian with a little surprise, and immediately said with a smile: "What? As a screenwriter, you are so familiar with the director, that you have no confidence in it?"

Li Qian shrugged his shoulders, saying that Yu Bojun's director was not good enough, so he had no choice but to patiently analyze the flaws of this book with Cheng Suying—in other words, he was not good enough.

In short, under Li Qian's analysis, this film has almost one result, which is to become a bad film.

And there is no doubt that to make a bad film, in addition to the remuneration you can get, it often has more negative effects than positive effects on an actor's acting career. Not only word-of-mouth, but even acting skills, many times, because a bad film often affects the actor's confidence in himself.

Cheng Suying nodded slowly while listening to Li Qian's analysis, and when Li Qian had finished speaking, she thought about it and asked with some reluctance: "Since you also know that there are so many shortcomings, you can't think about it. Any way to change it?"

Li Qian said helplessly after hearing the words: "I'm not a god. I want to change it. Brother Cao also wants to change it. Brother Yu must think more than the two of us! We all want to make this book more perfect and penetrating, but ...our level is limited!"

Cheng Suping smiled when she heard the words, and really comforted Li Qian like a big sister, and said, "Don't say that. How old are you? You haven't graduated from university yet, and you have already written so many good songs. With multiple albums, not only the photography, but even the script can be written to this level, which is already amazing!"

Speaking of this, she thought for a while, and said: "After graduation, I have been busy with singing. In fact, after reading this book, I didn't see what you said. I think it's pretty good. But... since You've already said that, then I'll think about it again."

After finishing speaking, she raised her wrist to look at her watch, and said with a smile, "I've been sitting here talking for a long time, are you hungry? Let's go, my sister invites you to dinner! Thank you for being so kind to me, even tearing down the stage of my good buddy." .”

Li Qian smiled when he heard the words, and said "yes" casually, then subconsciously looked down at the name of the script in his hand, and then returned the book to Cheng Suping with complicated emotions.

To be honest, at least half of this book is Li Qian's painstaking effort, regardless of the level, but he really put a lot of effort into it. So, no matter from which angle you think about it, how could he be willing to say that even if his work is produced, it will be a bad film? Doesn't he wish his book could be better?

But think about it again... Hey, forget it, I have grown from a third-rate actor and a small assistant director to now not only being able to write scripts by myself, but also writing to the current level, in fact, I have made great progress. At this stage, it should be enough, right?

…………

After having dinner together in the evening, watching Cheng Suping drive away, Li Qian got into his car and drove back.

After tossing on Xie Bing twice, Xie Bing was tired and sleepy, and soon fell into a deep sleep, but Li Qian was still very energetic, without any sleepiness at all.

After staying up until midnight, still unable to fall asleep after tossing and turning, Li Qian simply put on his clothes and got up, poured himself a glass of warm water to drink, then went to the studio, turned on the computer, and entered his mailbox , Download the document of "Love of Scallions" again, and read it from the beginning.
