Chapter 31： Young movie? (1/2)
”Yang, I can learn!” Jessica hurriedly interrupted Wang Yang and prevented him from saying ”I need to be able to dance, but you can't dance”. She has already made up her mind and must participate in Yang The next movie.
Jessica remembered moving to Los Angeles when she was a child, and she begged her father to let her go to acting school. At that time, Dad ’s business had just started, and his family ’s economic situation was not as good as it is now, but in order to give her and Joshua a growth environment he thought was the best, they lived in the smallest house in a rich community. Dad Too busy to see people, and my mother is going to play several part-time jobs. They are exhausted from work every day just for her and Joshua to study in a private expensive Catholic school.
But she and Joshua had no friends in the community or school. The proud and wealthy children simply looked down on them and no one played with them. At that time she was lonely and missed her happy life in San Francisco. She was thinking about He Yang's agreement, but to become an actor, she had to go to acting school. So she ignored her parents' expectations and boldly asked her father to help her transfer. Dad was a stubborn person, scolding her for ”willfulness” and ignored her words; later she fought for a long time, crying and making noises before she calmed down and agreed to her transfer.
Wasn't she thinking that she would make a movie with Yang when she grew up? She wants to be an excellent actor, which is her pursuit; she wants to star in Yang movies, which is also her pursuit since childhood.
She watched how Yang made the first movie and watched him succeed step by step. She was even the first person to know ”The Ghost Record”, but she always seemed to be a passer-by, watching all the time, but did not participate in it; but this time, she was not allowed to let herself be missed anymore, anyway, she You must participate in Yang's movie! Even if it is a mass role without lines.
These thoughts flashed quickly in his heart, and Jessica said with a firm face, seriously: ”I need to learn any dance, I can learn it.”
”Jessica, don't worry.” Wang Yang comforted her, and when she heard that she was nervous, she explained: ”It doesn't matter if you can't dance now, we are not going to participate in any international competitions. Just when shooting, Just let the dance director give you dance lessons. ”
”Oh, God.” Jessica suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled happily, her eyes full of excitement, smiled: ”It's good to hear you say this!” She was really ready to go immediately Contact a dance teacher to learn the types of dance required for that campus song and dance film. But now she still intends to do this, and later she will go to the dance class and raise the song and dance film, which shows that he likes to dance. If Yang invites her to dance one day, what will happen? And dancing is fun! She asked again: ”Oh, Yang, why do you suddenly want to make campus songs and dances?”
Wang Yang came to the kitchen, poured warm water into a drinking glass, and smiled at the mobile phone: ”It's not sudden, when I was in Chicago, I started thinking. I decided the plan in these two days.”
Hearing ”Chicago”, Jessica suddenly had an impulse in her heart and wanted to ask Wang Yang a sentence ”Does Rachel know?”
”I just think 'it's time'. Now it's the right time to launch the school song and dance movie, maybe it can also make the song and dance movie fully revive, ha ha!” Wang Yang laughed a few times and walked back to the computer with a glass of water. I said half-jokingly: ”And the campus film is also suitable for you to act, isn't it? I'm fed up with those **** producers and directors, why wouldn't even a waiter role give you? No service angry quality? Oh, Please! ”
Jessica Zhanyan smiled, and she was sweet in her heart. She pulled her hair and smiled and said, ”Yang, so what role might there be for me to play?”
”Well, I don't know yet, but what is certain is that the character must have a line.” Wang Yang laughed and said a joke, but the next words he needed to say seriously, the tone was serious: ”Jessica, I really mean, I will invite you to participate in the audition for the heroine of this movie. ”Jessica suddenly startled and lost her voice:” Oh, my God! ”Wang Yang smiled and continued:” You In terms of appearance, it can be a heroine, but I ca n’t make a decision yet. You know, there are many factors to consider a heroine. ”
”I know, Jan, I know ...” Jessica responded, she was so happy and hot, she said excitedly: ”God, so exciting!” She has the opportunity to become the heroine of Jan's movie. Compared with this, what can make people happier? ”When I grow up, I will be a director, you will be a heroine, and then ...” Is this agreement to be fulfilled?
Wang Yang smiled and said, ”Jessica, then you have to practice your acting skills.” He thought about the performance that Jessica had tried before casting a role in ”The Ghost Record” before, and said himself 'S suggestion: ”Sometimes acting must be natural, sometimes it needs to deviate from the facts. You are very sad in reality, you may be expressionless, but under the camera, you need to express your sadness and let everyone see ... … Happy, angry, sad, express these emotions, the change of attitude is very important, need to have a sense of hierarchy, not just one expression ...
Although the performance of ”High School Musical” does not seem to be high, but now it is necessary to move directly to the big screen, and there is no room for mistakes, and his attitude towards casting is always absolutely rational. If Jessica ca n’t reach him He does n’t want to talk about emotions, he can do it, he ca n’t. He said seriously: ”Jessica, I don't want to give the heroine to others, you know?”
Jessica listened to his words, took a deep breath, and nodded: ”Yang, I will practice hard, I will.”
They chatted for a while, and the conversation ended, and Jessica said she was going to practice acting in the mirror. Wang Yang sat at the computer desk, looked at the display screen, his hands struck on the keyboard, and began to write the script of ”High School Musical”.
The story of ”High School Musical”, in fact, the content structure is very simple. The actor Troy Burton is the captain of the Eastern High School basketball team ”Wild Cats”. He has been taught by his father since his childhood. His father is the coach of the Wild Cats, and In the past, when he was young, he won the league championship for the Wildcats; and the heroine Gabriella Mantis is a science genius. He has won numerous awards in academic competitions and is a ”nerd” type.
At a holiday party on a New Year's holiday, Troy and Gabriella were reluctantly pushed onto the small stage. They sang a song together, and found out that they were on the other side and loved singing and dancing.
After the party, the two returned to their cities, but until one day, Gabriella suddenly transferred to Eastern High School, and Troy, who met her naturally, was very happy. A musical at the school began to select characters, knowing that they like singing and dancing, Troy and Gabriella participated in the audition and passed the first round; but the basketball finals and academic games are near, Troy and Gabriella's family Friends are preventing them from participating in the musical, trying to get them back to ”normal track”.
Under their destruction, Troy and Gabriella had a misunderstanding and both gave up on the second round of auditions, but they both became very unhappy, so their friends reflected and knew that they should be encouraged to pursue their dreams, so they asked Troy The two confessed their previous destruction.
Resolved the misunderstanding of Troy and Gabriella, became happy, and again actively prepared for the second round of auditions. However, the brothers and sisters of Chapel-Evans and Rennes-Evans broke up again. They have always been the protagonists of the Eastern High School musicals. They feared that they would be snatched by Troy. Teacher Si modified the time of the second round audition so that it overlapped with the time of the basketball finals and academic games.
But with the help of friends, accidents happened in both basketball and academic games. Troy and Gabriella finally participated in the second round of selection and were selected as the leading roles in the musical. Afterwards, Troy won the finals, and Gabriella also won the academic competition, a happy ending. This is the story of ”High School Musical”, simple but inspirational.
This script is written for the actors, and the singing and dancing part only needs to be clarified. There is no need to write specific how to dance, nor can it be written. The work is still left to the dance instructor. However, when writing this script, Wang Yang added some content compared to the original version. For example, he felt that in the later part of the movie, the attitude of the good friends of the male and female protagonists became too abrupt, and they need to add a small paragraph to discuss with themselves. Reflective content.
These contents are all the material of the movie. They were all taken during the shooting, and then reached the later editing stage of the movie, and then the choice was made.
It took two days for the script to be written, and Wang Yang finalized the first edition. The general framework of the story has not changed, but how to express the story and what details to tell, he made some changes in order to make the rhythm of the film more natural. It is also more suitable for the big screen.
Next, Wang Yang began to write the sub-screen script of ”High School Musical”, that is, to write clearly how to turn the content of the script into a screen picture, and how to shoot these pictures and so on.
