Ten years of film queen, finally became a top star

Chapter 441 Don’t Play With People from Guizi Country

In addition to taking care of her children, Ran Feng is also preparing for her new album.

The songs for the new album have been written, and now is the final stage of arrangement optimization.

Because most of the songs in this album were written during Yu Jiang's pregnancy, they do not have the aggressiveness she had before she fell in love, and the music style is relatively gentle. It would be best if it could be released in spring or summer.

Music often requires collisions. Ran Feng occasionally sends song demos to his friends who make music together and asks for their suggestions.

Yu Jiang happened to have finished reading the novel at this time, and ran into Ran Feng and Sen Jiamu having a video chat.

The novel was so true and emotional that Yu Jiang had to glare at Sengamu whenever he saw him passing by.

Senjiamu was greeting her happily, but he didn't expect that she didn't even give him a good look, which made him confused.

"Ran Fengjun, why does Yu Jiangjiang seem unhappy? Did I do something inappropriate to offend her?"

Ran Feng didn't know what was going on, so he could only smooth things over by saying, "No, no, her hormones are unstable after giving birth, so don't mind it."

Senjiamu expressed her understanding. "Being a mother is a great thing. I don't mind. I think the melody you just mentioned is..."

After Ran Feng finished talking to Sen Jiamu, he immediately went to find Yu Jiang to see what happened to her.

Before he could say anything, Yu Jiang complained, "In the future, don't hang out with people from Guizi Country! You never know what their ancestors did!"

Ran Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What's wrong? Sen Jiamu was once your teacher. Why are you turning against him now?"

Yu Jiang said unhappily, "I have an epiphany now, okay? Maybe his fathers invaded China and massacred Chinese people, and his female elders may have sewed military uniforms for the invaders!"

Seeing that she was really angry, Ran Feng quickly explained: "I checked his background before making friends with him. Senjiamu's ancestors were leftists, and his grandfather even joined the party."

Yu Jiang rolled his eyes. "You are quite foresighted. You know to ask around before making friends."

It’s not that there are no good people in Guizi Country, but it’s more likely that they have inferior genes.

It cannot be said to be racial discrimination, but as a Chinese, I still feel a little uncomfortable when interacting with people from the Guizi country.

When Ran Feng started designing the MV for the pre-release song, Yu Jiang invited Mai Nanxi to his house to chat.

"Sister, I never thought you would choose such a subject for your first film. It's really challenging."

Gu Dongquan's films focus on delicate emotions. Most of his films focus on depicting emotions, and other things are just different backgrounds.

Although the novel selected by Mai Nanxi describes Lu Qingshan and Zhao Yaqin in great detail, it is obviously a prelude to the final blow, with the focus on national hatred and family feuds.

"I have always liked this novel. It shocked me when I first read it. There are very few literary works that describe the cruelty of war from the perspective of civilians so intuitively and naturally."

"It is a small dream of mine to be able to adapt my favorite novels into films, but it is indeed challenging to adapt Escape into a film."

Yu Jiang nodded, "I like this novel too, but filming it is very difficult from the script to approval."

Mai Nanxi frowned and said, "The most interesting thing about novels is that when you first read them, you never expect the subsequent developments to be so cruel. It is difficult to strike the right balance when revising the script."

"Yes, it depends on whether you want to just briefly mention the final answer like in the novel, or whether you want to spend more space on it."

As for the adaptation of the script, Yu Jiang is not a professional after all, and can only point out the problems he saw but cannot offer any practical suggestions.

Mai Nanxi said: "In fact, my idea is that the beautiful relationship between the male and female protagonists in the early stage can be brought up with a few simple shots, leaving more space for 'escape'."

"So?" Yu Jiang became interested in this idea.

"Whether it was Zhao Yaqin escaping from marriage or Lu Qingshan being a deserter, although they did not directly participate in the war, they were all victims of the war..."

Mai Nanxi has studied this novel thoroughly and can talk endlessly about the ideas behind the script.

Yu Jiang was inspired by her interpretation and said, "They didn't even think about resisting, but they still inevitably died from the slaughter of the invaders."

Mai Nanxi had the same serious expression as her, "Yes, but the question now is whether my shooting idea can pass the review in the end."

The final images of the film or TV adaptation should have a greater impact on the audience than text. Whether the cruel and bloody images can meet the conditions for broadcasting.

Maybe this section is not too long, but it is the most important part of the whole movie and the core of the movie.

Other movies could have cut out parts or used artistic techniques to smooth things over, but if the last part of "Escape" wasn't there, there would be no need to shoot this movie.

Yu Jiang thought of "Black, White and Grey", which was the movie with the most bloody scenes she had ever starred in.

Many shots are used to describe the cruelty of drug dealers, and the changes in the heroine's mentality are shown through the execution actions.

Yu Jiang was vomiting while filming. If "Escape" could be filmed, the scenes would be even more cruel than that.

Gu Dongquan has never filmed such scenes. If there are passionate scenes, he knows how to handle them so that they can pass the review, but he really can't pass the review for bloody scenes.

"Sister, do you and your brother-in-law know Director Liao? You can ask him for advice. If that doesn't work, it would be a good idea to help build a bridge with the authorities."

In fact, if there is such a channel, there is still a possibility of passing the review after reporting.

After all, the main theme of "Escape" is still good. The theme of condemning invaders and opposing war is not bloody for the sake of bloodiness.

Mai Nanxi's eyes lit up, "That's great! Sister, thank you for your help!"

Yu Jiang waved his hand, "It's a small matter! But Director Liao is not often in Beijing. Do you think it would be more convenient to meet him at a more convenient time, or should I give you the contact information?"

This kind of thing of asking for favors for no reason would seem insincere without a face-to-face chat, so Mai Nanxi still hoped to have a face-to-face meeting.

"It's okay if I'm not in Beijing. I don't have anything else to do right now. I'm focusing on my debut work. Can I go find him?"

After everything was discussed, Yu Jiang took action immediately and told Liao Yongning in front of him how great the novel was, and that it would be absolutely refreshing if it could be successfully adapted into a film or TV series.

Her words aroused Liao Yongning's curiosity, and he finished reading the novel in two days.

Yu Jiang did not lie, he was also optimistic about the prospect and took the opportunity to introduce Mai Nanxi to Liao Yongning.

He is based in northern Hubei, and Mai Nanxi went there directly after making an appointment.

It was probably her good thing, or maybe Liao Yongning was optimistic about her project and directly asked his father to come home to make an appointment.

The old commander listened to it and read the novel after Mai Nanxi left.

Good works do not need to be overly exaggerated. People who have seen them will naturally understand that the matter was finally taken care of by the old commander.
