Chapter 617 Seminar

A script seminar lasted a whole day.

At the beginning, several actors were quite reserved in front of Wu Yuan, including Huang Bo, who had known Wu Yuan for a long time and did not dare to express his opinions.

After all, he had never worked with Wu Yuan before. Although he felt that Wu Yuan was a kind person when he met him before, it was normal for a director to have a big contrast between life and work.

He did not know whether Wu Yuan was a tyrant on the set like Spielberg at work.

However, when they discussed in depth, Huang Bo and others could not help but start talking about their opinions on the script, some good and some bad.

As professional actors, they naturally could not just look at the script one-sidedly. After a week of in-depth research, everyone had some opinions on the script and the roles they played.

These opinions may not be correct or suitable for the public, but they are definitely meaningful.

Wu Yuan also listened carefully to their ideas. If he felt that they were really reasonable, he would also make some details of the script according to their ideas.

For example, there is a paragraph in the script where the heroine Lu Xiaojuan saw her missing son Tian Peng in a remote village.

In the script, because this was the first time they met, and it was a glimpse, Wu Yuan described this part, and Lu Xiaojuan's performance was suspicious, uncertain, and unbelievable.

She was afraid that she had just seen it wrong, and that she was just hallucinating because she missed her son too much, so she did not react immediately, but was stunned on the spot.

But after reading the script, Tan Zhuo had opinions on the performance of this part of the plot.

She felt that as a mother, especially a mother whose son had been missing for a long time, when she saw a child who looked like her son, she should be crazy and desperate.

She would not think so much, doubt so much, and would only rush up to grab the child and hug him tightly.

Only rational people would weigh such things, and Lu Xiaojuan, who had lost her son for a long time, had long lost her rationality. When she finally saw her son after searching for many years, the rational string in her mind had long been broken.

Any hesitation, uncertainty, and disbelief would never happen to her.

After careful consideration, Wu Yuan felt that Tan Zhuo's idea was right. After all, he had never been a father, and he could not understand what a mother who lost her son thought.

So when he was writing the script, he still had some of his own rationality and restraint, which made the character of Lu Xiaojuan a little too normal.

It's not that being normal is bad, but Lu Xiaojuan shouldn't be so normal.

There are too many mothers who have gone crazy because of their sons' disappearance, and even developed mental illness. For these great mothers, their children are the most precious things in their lives.

And the mother in the story of "Dear" is undoubtedly this type, otherwise she would not have embarked on a long journey to find her son with the male protagonist Tian Wenjun.

Not only that, Huang Bo, Zhang Yi and others also provided Wu Yuan with a lot of things that he had not thought of or had shortcomings from his perspective.

There is no way, Wu Yuan is self-written and self-directed, even if there are two movies in his previous life as a model, it is unlikely to be comprehensive.

First, he is not a professional screenwriter, and it is the first time to make such a fusion script.

Second, the two movies in the previous life were not perfect, and even had many shortcomings. Wu Yuan only tried to eliminate some shortcomings that were widely criticized by the audience when he merged them, and he could not achieve perfection.

】

In fact, even after the brainstorming of this script seminar, this movie could not be perfect.

It’s just that after such a script seminar, not only did the script become better, but several actors also followed Wu Yuan and had a deeper understanding of what kind of characters they played, which was also more beneficial to their subsequent filming and would be smoother.

This is why many film and television dramas have to hold script seminars before starting, and they will hold several sessions.

It’s just that now the hot money inflow into the Chinese TV drama industry has made fewer and fewer crews willing to calm down and polish the script and actors, and everyone is rushing to make quick money.

When Wu Yuan just debuted, eight out of ten TV drama crews in China would hold script seminars.

Now the situation has reversed. Only two or three out of ten crews will take the trouble to hold seminars.

In the era of online dramas, this situation will be even more serious. Most online dramas will not do such a strenuous thing. There may be only three or five TV dramas in a year that will hold script seminars.

However, in the film industry, this tradition is still well maintained. After all, it takes less time to make a movie than a TV series, and the film crew has more energy to polish themselves for better.

"Well, thank you all for coming today."

"I will revise the script from beginning to end later, and I will send you the revised script in a few days."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the film should start shooting on December 15 and be completed before February next year."

"Filming in winter is indeed not an easy thing, but winter is more in line with the atmosphere of our film."

Wu Yuan clapped his hands and said to all the actors present.

Before coming, they already knew the shooting date of "Dear" and had adjusted the schedule. Naturally, they had no objection and nodded in agreement.

Wu Yuan smiled with a relaxed expression and said, "That's it for now. I won't see you off."

After that, Wu Yuan took the script that he had made full of revision notes and walked out of the meeting room.

He had to stay up late at night to finish the subsequent revisions of the script, so he couldn't be idle.

The remaining Huang Bo and others looked at each other for a few times. They had talked about everything they should talk about, and they didn't want to continue chatting. After exchanging contact information, everyone left the Light and Shadow Times one after another.

In the outside world, with the end of this script seminar, the list of the main actors of "Dear" and the news of the start date quickly spread across the Internet.

Seeing this list of actors led by Huang Bo and Tan Zhuo, there were cheers, dissatisfaction, and comments of all kinds of voices.

Some netizens believed that the actors on this list were all tested veteran actors, and the works they brought together were definitely wonderful.

However, many netizens have opinions about these actors whose acting skills are highly recognized but whose fame and influence are not that high.

In their opinion, the actors who can work with Wu Yuan must be the top-tier movie stars in China, and even the top-tier actors are a bit too high.

It is too outrageous that an art film actor like Tan Zhuo, who is only famous in a small circle, can become the leading actress in Wu Yuan's new film!

Soon, the Internet was in a turmoil again.

Netizens are really idle.
