Good Guy, Lin Gu Is Actually Also a Scriptwriter?
The theme of " I'm Not the Drug God " was sensitive and serious.
This was a movie where the extras were mainly patients, police officers, and ordinary people. Therefore, when Lin Gu selected the extras, he only needed to grasp a few characteristics.
He could not be too young, but it did not matter if he was older. For example, those patients were basically middle-aged or elderly.
It was not good to have a unique appearance, and the extras could not steal the main character's scenes.
Other aspects of acting weren't important, but one had to have some foundation in acting with eyes.
Because most extras did not have any lines. The most common scenes they had were the despairing and apathetic gazes of those who were sick!
Therefore, Lin Gu only gave the extras one audition question.
"Show me a look of despair!"
He was a master at acting with his eyes, so he understood it very well.
A middle-aged man came in, carefully trying to curry favor.
When he saw the question, a hint of numbness and despair instantly flowed out of his eyes. With just one glance, Lin Gu immediately decided on him!
"You've passed. Report to the production team later.”
Lin Gu said with a smile.
Then, he asked.
"What's your name?"
"Fan Shenqiang."
......
"Tao Du."
......
"Shen Junyuan."
......
Choosing an extra, especially for a movie like " I'm Not the Drug God," even if it was an important extra, it was not difficult.
How similar were the patients in this movie to the 200,000 extras in Hengdian?
While Lin Gu was selecting the extras, he once again deeply understood a sentence in the script.
"There is only one disease in this world.”
"Poor patient!"
......
After almost half a day, Lin Gu finally finished choosing all the important extras.
When he returned to the set, Wang Yanhui happened to walk in.
The two of them had worked together in Blazing Sun Clearing Heart before, so they were naturally very familiar with each other.
After chatting for a while, the two of them walked into the studio together.
Cao Ping was talking to a few staff members when he saw Lin Gu enter. He quickly clapped his hands and shouted.
"Come, come, let me introduce everyone.”
"This is Lin Gu, one of the main leads of our movie and also the assistant director.”
"Everyone has received the script. If there's anything you don't understand during the filming process, you can ask Teacher Lin Gu.”
There were usually a few assistant directors in the production team.
However, the person introduced by Cao Ping was naturally not an ordinary assistant director!
All the actors and crew members applauded enthusiastically.
Among them, many actors and staff knew Lin Gu.
Even the new actors had heard of Lin Gu, who had been popular recently.
Lin Gu was not used to the enthusiasm of the crowd.
He smiled and said in a low-key manner.
"I'm just a newcomer. Everyone here is a senior in the industry. If there's any problem, we can discuss it.”
This low-profile and humble attitude of his instantly made many people have a better impression of Lin Gu!
After some introductions.
Cao Ping pulled Lin Gu aside with a serious expression.
"Lin Gu, there's a problem."
"The script is based on real cases from a few years ago. There are many scenes that are not suitable for the screen.”
"For example, the conflict between the patients and the government, and the real life of the patients.”
" Although I'm Not The Drug God has passed the review, I'm worried that it won't be able to be screened if all of this is really filmed."
" How can I reduce the impact and not lose what I originally wanted to express? I have a headache."
Every famous director must be a qualified screenwriter!
A director who couldn't even read the script was definitely not a qualified director.
For Cao Ping to be able to discuss such a big issue involving the change of the script with Lin Gu, it was obvious that he trusted Lin Gu to a certain extent.
Lin Gu smiled when he saw Cao Ping's troubled expression. He took out a script that had been rolled up.
"Director Cao, I've already noticed this problem."
"Here are some of my suggestions for changes. Take a look.”
Cao Ping was slightly stunned. After taking it, he immediately began to flip through it.
It didn't matter what he saw, but his expression became more and more surprised!
Amidst the shock, there was a strong sense of ecstasy!
When he finished reading the entire script, he looked at Lin Gu with a strange expression!
"Lin Gu, you are…What kind of monster are you?"
"Did you change all these?"
Lin Gu nodded.
In fact, the original script of " I'm Not the Drug God " had a very realistic style. There were not many changes to the real case.
Such a script was indeed true.
However, it lacked artistry. Once it was shot according to the original script, it would no longer be an educational film, but a documentary!
Lin Gu relied on his knowledge of " advanced directors " and his memory of watching this movie in his previous life.
He made some changes to the original script.
Even if Cao Ping didn't mention this, he would still guide them appropriately during the filming process.
Now that Cao Ping had discovered this problem, Lin Gu naturally went with the flow.
Seeing Lin Gu's calm expression, Cao Ping's mouth twitched a few times. His face was filled with disbelief!
"Lin Gu, I originally thought that you were a young hunk who relied on your face to make a living.”
" But your acting has convinced me."
"When I thought that you were just a talented actor with outstanding acting skills, I was shocked.”
"You took out this script again."
"How many more surprises do you have that I don't know about?!”
No wonder Cao Ping was so surprised.
Lin Gu's changes to the script were almost all in Cao Ping's heart!
Whether it was the polishing of the dark scenes or the adaptation of the conflicts that were not suitable for filming, Cao Ping felt that Lin Gu was the original author of the script.
The script that Lin Gu had changed did not seem to have any abrupt or contradictory parts!
It was as smooth as if he had just written a new book!
"Lin Gu, I think the best thing I've done in my life is to pull you into the script of 'I'm Not the Drug God'."
Cao Ping patted Lin Gu's shoulder emotionally.
Then, he shouted at everyone.
"Everyone, there are some changes to the original script!”
"This is the revised script. I'll send it to everyone after I make a copy. If you have any questions, you can ask Lin Gu immediately.”
"Because Lin Gu was the one who made the changes!”
As soon as he said that.
Everyone in the studio was shocked!
Changing the script?
Wasn't this the job of a screenwriter?
Could it be that Lin Gu was also the screenwriter of this movie?
