Chapter 875 New Script

What does it mean that art comes from life and is higher than life?

What Gan Jing is doing now is.

When Zhou Xingxing was dissatisfied with his script, and he himself was also dissatisfied with Zhou Xingxing's script, he suddenly saw such a real incident in China, and he was instantly inspired and almost had the general context of the story.

What is Zhou Xingxing's life experience like?
From dead set to star big coffee.

This feeling is vividly reflected in his "King of Comedy" movie, which also makes this work somewhat autobiographical.

In addition, in "Shaolin Soccer", "If a man has no dreams, what is the difference with a salted fish", and in "Kung Fu", the scenes focusing on small people such as small gangsters becoming big heroes can be said to be widely circulated.

Now, the story that emerges from Gan Jing's mind combined with reality is the story of two little people.

A joker on Weibo, even if he is a white-collar worker with a well-to-do family, is just a small person compared to an Internet giant like X Degree. He must be embarrassed and helpless when faced with a threatening lawsuit demanding huge compensation of.

When surfing the Internet, there is a saying that is often used as a joke, "I don't know whether it is a human or a dog behind the Internet", but an Internet giant is capable enough to locate whether a user is a human or a dog.

When Duan Zishou was singled out from the Internet by Internet giants, he faced not only lawsuits, but also the hidden impact on work and family.

Gan Jing intends to refine this character and make him a character who struggles from hesitation to decisiveness in the face of explicit and implicit oppression. In this way, there will be enough psychological processes and choices. more and more distinct.

However, this character is played by himself.

The role of Zhou Xingxing can be a lawyer, a junior lawyer, a poor lawyer, a middle-aged lawyer who is divorced and poor.

First of all, this is a subversion of the image, and secondly, the contextual characteristics of the little people are buried in the bones.

What would it be like for Zhou Xingxing to play a somewhat nonsensical, low-level lawyer who still maintains his original intentions?
Balabala, Balabala...

Gan Jing uttered all the inspirations that popped up in his mind in one breath, and occasionally he couldn't connect the logic, Zhou Xingxing would immediately interrupt and ask for ideas, and make some small deduction along the way.

For example, why did the little lawyer file for divorce?

Because the career has never been up, because the character has always been optimistic and cheerful and never bows his head - when he has money, it is called free and easy, and when he has no money, it may seem to others that he is not ambitious.

Such a setting may not have much space in the movie story, but as long as it is shown, the characters can be filmed with flesh and blood.

"Then, this is to make a movie with a modern background and a sense of current life."

It was already 02:30 in the morning, the two of them chatted about this inspiration for five hours, and Zhou Xingxing finally came to a small conclusion.

"We can also add some other expressions, such as the protection of Internet users' privacy in the Internet age, how is the giant company doing? The huge profits after the monopoly is achieved, such as the introduction of the domestic lawsuit is because commercial advertisements on search engines have begun to eat. Human blood steamed buns. Besides, those hidden participants are also perpetrators." Gan Jing said, "There are enough viewpoints that can be put in the movie, but it needs to be sorted out so that it does not appear cluttered. "

Zhou Xingxing pondered and said: "This story is not bad, it needs to be polished."

Gan Jing's eyes flickered: "How about that? Have fun?"

"I'll think about it again." Zhou Xingxing didn't give an answer immediately. The new story that was brought up suddenly was too sudden, and the discussion was quite heated, but you have to be cautious when making a decision, let alone a recent one. I haven't acted in a movie for several years.

"Okay." Gan Jing didn't bother much, got up and prepared to go upstairs and go back to the room. It's really late, and there are things to do tomorrow, "Then Master Xing will think about it again. I think this kind of dual role The setting is not bad, the little lawyer stands up in order to become famous in the first battle, and the joker fights against the all-round oppression of the giant, and finally ends with the scene of two people standing in court without fear."

"It doesn't have to be in the courtroom. It can be represented by something symbolic. The story of this film is more upright, but the style can't be too upright. There are reversals in small details, and you can laugh with tears. .Life is moving forward in desperation, embarrassing scenes, such as being evicted when the rent is due, can be filmed funny." Zhou Xingxing said his thoughts.

Gan Jing shook his head: "I think it will end abruptly at the climax in the courtroom, and it will definitely leave the audience with endless aftertaste."

"This lawsuit is needed by both the joker and the lawyer, but it is still only a part of life, and the final outcome will be better in the family. For example, the lawyer's marriage was repaired because of this lawsuit he still insisted on, and the joker I also met a girl I like." Zhou Xingxing still disagreed.

"If that's the case, just ask the lawyer to divorce at the end of the film. The audience will definitely think of a happy ending. Of course, a happy ending is necessary, but the obstacles and troughs set in the middle are unexpected, and the divorce can be done on the eve of the court. The lawyer handled his marriage without telling the truth, and went to court alone." Gan Jing thought for a while, and then said slowly, "In this case, the eve fell to the lowest point, and the court immediately rebounded, and the rhythm will change. Very good. In the end, Duan Zishou is with the girl he likes, and the lawyer remarried!"

"Two people who have gone through hardships finally decided to get married together, in a small group, and hold the wedding ceremony together." Gan Jing said more and more energetically, "How is it? Such a picture should be touching, right?"

Zhou Xingxing sat down again, pondered: "This is not bad. But who should I choose as the heroine? The lawyer's wife, um, yes, the lawyer's marital problems can also have such factors, his wife is nearly ten years younger than him , When I first left school, I fell in love with a lawyer in society, but later because I also entered society, my concept changed, and the two got along with each other. "

Gan Jing agreed: "It's more logical, and the characters are more three-dimensional. Well, Master Xing, can you still act out that down-and-out and unique character?"

"What do you think?" Zhou Xingxing sat up straight all of a sudden, "Do you really think I'm old?"

"..."

Unknowingly, the two people who were supposed to go to rest separately started chatting again.

The hands of the clock in the room were ticking.

The inspirations of the two filmmakers touched each other, bursting out the spark of art.
