He knocked on the door of Lin Chaoyang's house in dust, and Lin Chaoyang was surprised to see him.

"Old Xie? What's going on with you?"

It is just the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and Lin Chaoyang really didn't expect to meet Xie Jin during this period. Since "The Wreath Under the Mountain", they have not worked together for more than two years, and the number of meetings and communications has been far less frequent than in previous years.

"Chaoyang, you have to help me!"

When Xie Jin saw Lin Chaoyang, he found his relatives in the city just like a poor relative in trouble.

Lin Chaoyang was confused, so, "Help you? What's the matter?"

He invited Xie Jin into the house. After Xie Jin rested for a while, he talked about his purpose for this time.

It turns out that Xie Jin has been preparing for "Furong Town" in the past six months.

"Furong Town" is adapted from Gu Hua's novel of the same name. It was also very popular when the novel was published. In 1982, he won the first Mao Dun Literature Award with Lin Chaoyang's "Chess Saint" and became a representative work of scar literature.

Ever since Xie Jin decided to shoot the movie "Furong Town", the outside world has been paying attention. As a result, the movie has been preparing for half a year, but the progress has not been smooth.

The outdoor scene has been selected and the actors have been finalized, but now I haven't even finished the script. Xie Jin's mouth is so anxious that he has been blistering recently.

Lin Chaoyang asked puzzledly: "Didn't you find Acheng? He can't handle a script?"

"Oh! Don't mention it. Acheng wrote a few scripts, but they were not very ideal, so I asked the original author Gu Hua for help.

But during that time, Gu Hua said he wanted to visit Switzerland. I would look for him when he came back in January, but he said he had something important and said he didn't want to participate in the script revision."

Of course, such words like this are just excuses. On the one hand, Gu Hua did not want to take on Acheng's mess, and on the other hand, he was also afraid of offending others.

Xie Jin understood this truth, and Lin Chaoyang also understood it.

Xie Jin said with a depressed look on his face: "The wind of filming "Furong Town" has been released long ago, and the preparation time has been long enough. Those media have to hype "Furong Town" almost every few days. There has been no movement for such a long time, and gossip is everywhere!"

"Furong Town" tells the story of the buzzing period, just like when Xie Jin was going to film "The Legend of Tianyun Mountain" and "The Wrangler", someone began to attack him as soon as the news came out.

The movie has not been moving yet, which makes some people who have prejudices and hostility towards "Furong Town" no longer able to bear it and express their views one after another.

Over the past period of time, some people have expressed public opposition to Xie Jin, some have slandered and ridiculed him, and some have even begun to use methods behind the scenes.

The pressure of public opinion made Xie Jin tired of dealing with it, but what made him even more worried was the dysfunction of the script.

Acheng is young and has little experience. The original author Gu Hua is not responsible. Xie Jin did not expect that the double insurance he had given him at the beginning turned into strangling the dog.

Last year, he specially found Gu Hua and Acheng together for the sake of the script and stayed for several days just to sort out the adaptation.

"Oh! Who could have thought that how good things turned out like this?"

Xie Jin shook his head and sighed, his face full of melancholy and embarrassment. It was the first time he had been a director for so many years that he was so worried about the script.

Seeing that Lin Chaoyang had not spoken, Xie Jin leaned towards him, and the expression on his face turned into a kind of eager expectation.

"Chaoyang, you can't stand by death and refuse to save me!"

"Hey hey, why are you doing? You still have to engage in moral kidnapping?" Lin Chaoyang immediately protested.

Xie Jin held his hand, and a globedient old face was full of gullies and expression was flattering, "How can this be a moral kidnapping? I'm asking for help from you! Now, you have to take action, and I can't believe it!"

Otherwise, the old man is still so spicy, the saying "I can't believe others" really means to rely on my own life.

If you meet a young young man with little experience, you will probably have to devote yourself to it on the spot.

"Stop doing this. Gu Hua knows it's a mess, so you have to throw it to me." Lin Chaoyang said very clearly.

"What is Gu Hua's level? What is your level? The mess in his eyes is just a slight effort to you."

"You Shanghai Film Studio have so many screenwriters." Lin Chaoyang said with a desperate struggle.

"I can't believe them."

"You've recognized my trick!"

For the sake of the script, Director Xie also put down his burden and flattered him so loudly.

After he pestered and Lin Chaoyang had no choice but to do anything. Everyone is old friends, and they can't stand by death and refuse to save him.

"What do you want? Let me write you a script again?"

When she saw Lin Chaoyang relax, Xie Jin felt energetic, "Of course it's best."

"What you think is pretty!"

Lin Chaoyang didn't plan to waste too much energy on this matter. Moreover, the script of "Furong Town" was written by Acheng, and they were all acquaintances. They looked up and saw each other without looking down. They overturned all their things and started again. They were not good at face.

Xie Jin is a director, so he doesn't care about the face of the screenwriter Acheng, but Lin Chaoyang doesn't want to do this.

He said, "Where is the script? I'll take a look first."

Xie Jin hurriedly took out the script, and Lin Chaoyang said, "I'll take a look first, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"good."

Lin Chaoyang arranged Xie Jin to the West Courtyard.

The next morning, Xie Jin came to Lin Chaoyang, "How is the script watching?"

Lin Chaoyang did not answer his question, but asked Xie Jin some of his thoughts on the adaptation, which Xie Jin talked endlessly.

"…The connotation, thought and artistic infection of the novel are generally three-dimensional and diverse, with a time span of fifteen years, and the content of the five years in the novel must also be reflected.

My past movies were just about telling a story. A better movie showed the personalities of some characters, which is already a better movie in our country.

But now many young audiences, especially college students, are not satisfied with these. They require the movie to enrich the inner world of the characters and display them in a diversified manner.

Exploring the complexity of a person's personality is the top priority of this movie, the pictures, and the music are the second... "

While Xie Jinmeifei was explaining his thoughts on the movie adaptation, Lin Chaoyang kept listening quietly with a serious look.

When Xie Jin finally finished speaking, he stopped. He sat there thinking, slowly digesting Xie Jin's thoughts.

After a long time, he slowly said: "I probably understand what you mean. In fact, Acheng's book is not bad, but it is too literary, but it ignores what you value."

Xie Jin nodded immediately when he heard this, "That's right. Oh, you'd better understand me. Chaoyang, I'll find the right one for you."

Lin Chaoyang picked up a pen, copied a play in the script, and circled out the lines "Qin Shutian", who is the male protagonist played by Jiang Wen.

Then he wrote two more lines, put the original lines together with the lines he wrote, and asked Xie Jin, "How about if you change this way?"

Xie Jin carefully read the two versions of Qin Shutian's lines. Without comparison, there was no problem with the lines written by Acheng.

But with Lin Chaoyang's line, the crazy and eagerness of Qin Shutian in the Y-sect was written out in just two sentences.

In contrast, Ah Cheng's two lines were more restrained and tolerant, but less blood.

Although there are only a few words in the difference, the gap is often the case.

"Okay!" Xie Jin praised, "This is what I want."

He looked at Lin Chaoyang excitedly, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

This kid is such a treasure!

I have only been giving my skills for a few years, so why do I feel like I become more and more energetic as I get older?

Lin Chaoyang said: "Then I will change it according to this feeling first."

Xie Jin agreed unhappily. Seeing that Lin Chaoyang was busy modifying the script, he didn't bother him, but he didn't leave, so he just sat aside, afraid that Lin Chaoyang would have any ideas to communicate with him. If he was not there, wouldn't it be a waste of time.

Xie Jin sat there for a day, and Lin Chaoyang also changed for a day.

After dinner in the evening, he asked Xie Jin to go to the west courtyard to rest, and he went into the study and closed the doors and windows, and focused on changing the script.

After four or five days like this, no one visited the West Courtyard during the Chinese New Year, so Xie Jin lived there himself.

During the day, he came to the East Courtyard to tease Lin Chaoyang's two children, and stayed in the West Courtyard at night. Although there were TV, books, newspapers, he felt like he was living like a year.

Early in the morning on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Xie Jin ran to the East Courtyard early in the morning. When he saw Lin Chaoyang, he asked, "How is it? How is it? Have you finished making changes?"

This is his routine every morning these days. Lin Chaoyang's answer is always "Wait".

But today is different. Lin Chaoyang shook a look on the living room coffee table. Xie Jin was immediately understood and looked ecstatic.

He couldn't wait to walk to the coffee table, picked up the freshly released script and flipped it out.

In the beginning of the novel "Furong Town", Gu Hua used hundreds of words to describe the plot of Hu Yuyin dealing with surrounding diners during the rice tofu stall in Furong Town. Most of them are narrative words.

But in the script, these words change a little.

“(Hu Yuyin Mi Tofu Stand near Qingshiban Street in Furong Town, there are people coming and going, and guests are constantly coming and going.)

Diner Jia: Sister Furong, add more spicy food to mine.

Diner B: I want jealous.

Hu Yuyin: (Hello to the guests who just arrived, enthusiastically) is here.

Diner Bing: Sister Furong, add more chopped green onions to me. Hurry up.

Hu Yuyin: Guigui.

Diner Ding: Sister Furong, I have been waiting for a long time, hurry up.

Hu Yuyin: Alas, here we come.

Diner A: Have you released it?
