Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"A... element that can bring others pleasure that seems to go beyond morality and etiquette, but is also reasonable."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then he looked directly at several screenwriters who frowned after hearing his words.

"It's like this, teachers. I'm very satisfied with the main line of the script, but I believe everyone can see it. It seems that without the kind of struggle in the background of the times, we can all feel that Jingqiu and Lao San are

This kind of pure love doesn't seem that touching. So, I want to add an element here. That is the bottom line of that era, and the relationship between men and women that repeatedly jumped above the bottom line."

"..."

Yin Lichuan frowned slightly.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"Director Xu, can you be more specific?"

"The specifics are very simple. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is rebellion against pure morality."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The three screenwriters frowned again.

But Zhang Yimou's eyes lit up.

"The current script, the love between Lao San and Jing Qiu is too peaceful...at least for me, it doesn't resonate with me."

Xu Xin lit another cigarette for himself, sat on the sofa, thinking, and said:

"It's... the audience of the film, do you understand what I say?"

After he finished speaking, he realized that what he said was a bit confusing.

So he continued to explain:

"Let me speak for myself. I have not experienced that era. But I know that in that era, there were only four words to be cautious in words and deeds. These four words can sum up a lot of things. But, just like those who never

Green grass will always grow in the cracks of the stone slabs. What I want is this... In the environment of this big stone slab, that kind of desire that transcends morality. And this desire is born from the environment that includes

All those who have never experienced that era, including myself, feel the joy of the stereotype of that era."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Yimou summarized his meaning for him:

"Xiao Xu means that what these two people do must have a secret pleasure that transcends the limitations of the times."

Having said this, he paused again before continuing:

"But don't mix it with anything sexual or lustful."

"right!"

Xu Xin nodded vigorously, sighing deeply at the old man's profound skills, and said:

"To me, this story is more like the phenomenon of...puppy love in junior high school. The school doesn't allow it, and the teacher strictly prohibits it. Anyone who is found out will ask their parents...I don't know if my metaphor is appropriate.

.But this is the starting point for my interpretation of the script~

Teachers don’t allow it, parents don’t allow it, and even society prohibits students from falling in love early. But this didn’t stop me from secretly holding the hand of a girl after school, or from kissing a female classmate in the alley behind the school.

!”

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

This time, the speechless people included Zhang Yimou.

You've really learned a lot.

But Xu Xin's thoughts at this moment have been completely clarified with the words.

On the contrary, my thoughts came to life completely:

"That's the feeling. The definition of Jingqiu is, first of all, Sanliwan. In her, I want to see something between the charm of a mature woman and that kind of... pure and mixed qualities. When others see her, the first thing they see is

It just feels beautiful…”

Zhang Yimou's brows wrinkled again.

But Xu Xin continued to tell;

"She must have the stereotypes of that era. For example, khaki pants, rubber shoes, or...she has big breasts, so she has low self-esteem and always walks with her breasts in her mouth. But no matter what

, she is an image that can be secretly called Sanliwan, and every man who meets her will be fascinated by her."

Zhang Yimou's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

"But, I want this scene to be clean. Her charm is an attribute, an attractive quality. It is something she is born with and cannot be changed. But the more charming she is, the purer and more lustful she is.

, I want her to be as clean as possible. This is first of all a moral pleasure."

"Very charming...very lustful...but also innocent?"

Gu Xiaobai seemed to want to say something.

But Xu Xin waved his hand:

"No, what I'm talking about is my understanding of Jingqiu's character. But the storyline also starts from this point. Puppy love...well, that's the idea. Teachers, don't worry about the image of the actor, just follow me.

Let's think about it. That era was just a school. And Jingqiu, whether it was her family background or... that school, was a metaphor for that era.

In this metaphor, what she and Lao San did must have a step-by-step process of transcendence. The comfort of moral rebellion in everyone's hearts must be accumulated bit by bit like building a house... I can understand this idea.

What?"

A Mei thought for a while and asked tentatively:

"In other words, it's like puppy love. Two people must maintain a kind of restraint during the day or in certain situations. But within restraint, it's like passing notes in class and going home together after school.

That journey, and the diary filled with longing for each other after returning home?"

"Snapped!"

The moment he heard this, Xu Xin slapped the table:

"That's right. That's how it feels. And when there's no one around, the two of them will have that sweetness that no one else can see."

“…but clean.”

"Yes! A smile, a look, a hand in hand, or just walking together for a while..."

Xu Xin nodded vigorously:

"Just follow this idea. This story... is too pale. I need to create such an emotional atmosphere to bring the audience into it."

His explanation was clear enough.

The three screenwriters looked at each other...

The director has said so, so what else can we do?

Continue to change?

But don’t say it yet…

This angle of entry is really strange and appropriate.

At that time, wasn't it like a school that banned puppy love?

And Jingqiu's goal of staying in school and her family's expectations, aren't they just like parents who hope that their children will be admitted to a key middle school?

And then... if the parents knew that their daughter, who had placed hope on changing the fate of the whole family, was run away by a "bad student" who didn't know where she came from, it would be strange not to explode.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just think about it...

Eh?

It seems to be true...

Although I don’t know what a script based on this idea will look like in the end...

But who lets someone be the director?

If the director provides ideas, then just follow their requirements.

but……

As Yin Lichuan, who has collaborated with Zhang Yimou for the longest time, after thinking about it, he still asked Zhang Yimou:

"Director Zhang, what do you think?"

"..."

Zhang Yimou broke away from the mood of frowning and thinking.

After hearing this, he looked at Xu Xin and then at Yin Lichuan...
