Disaster Artist

Chapter 1039: city ​​of stars

Ji Xu stared at Lu Qian, his eyes full of shock and astonishment, his dislocated jaw seemed to be unable to be pulled back, his brain crashed for a short time, and he was speechless.

"One hundred thousand whys" surged in his mind, but in the end, Ji Xu decided to keep his mouth shut—

Since Su Changting has never said it, there must be his reasons, so there is no need to gossip at this time: if there are some private matters, just keep it private.

To put it aside, it's not necessarily a good thing.

Thinking about it seriously, Ji Xu still pulled his thoughts back to the movie project, although it was not easy, "What if Big Brother Su or his... ex-wife disagree?"

First, from a copyright or legal perspective.

Lu Qian did not completely adapt Su Changting's story. Strictly speaking, even the storyline and framework were completely different, let alone the specific plot or details.

Lu Qian just borrowed a little inspiration, and rewrote an irrelevant script with an emotion, a touch, and a state as the source, which is completely legal.

From a legal point of view, Lu Qian does not need to seek the consent of Su Changting or Yan Huaishu—

Art comes from life.

Ji Xu also believes that Lu Qian will not take the risk of bringing the stories of Su Changting and Yan Huaishu to the big screen, or create two similar characters based on them.

However, things are not that simple.

In any case, Lu Qian's source of inspiration is Su Changting and Yan Huaishu. They are friends, and they hope to continue to be friends in the future.

What's more, Su Changting's significance to Echo, Blue Whale Pictures, and Lu Qian is not just a friend.

Even if Lu Qian's script only uses an emotion as an introduction, and finally creates a brand new story, he still needs to seek Su Changting's approval.

"Then we won't shoot." Lu Qian didn't hesitate at all.

Ji Xu: …

stunned.

One second, Lu Qian was still excitedly explaining the new project; the next second, Lu Qian gave up neatly and directly. Is such a dramatic emotional turn really good?

A smile appeared in Lu Qian's eyes, "This afternoon, I will personally hand over the script to Big Brother Su, and then entrust Big Brother Su to hand it over to his ex-wife, wait patiently for them to finish reading, and give a response, only with their permission, I will filming, otherwise, the project will stop.”

In this regard, Lu Qian's attitude is very firm.

Granted, he was passionate and inspired by the story and was very, very much looking forward to getting into filming, and now he has the image in his head.

However, the premise of everything is that Su Changting and Yan Huaishu agree.

Not because of Su Changting's significance to the echo, but because Su Changting is Lu Qian's friend.

Some things can be done, even if the bottom line is broken, you must try; but some things cannot be done, no matter what the circumstances or the interests.

This is the principle.

Instead, Ji Xu became a little anxious, "But, what about this script?"

In less than four days, Lu Qian created this script, and even if Ji Xu hadn't read it, he could deeply feel Lu Qian's enthusiasm.

Lu Qian shrugged and didn't care at all, "Student Ji, the movie project, there will always be another one, forever; however, friends are not guaranteed."

Ji Xu groaned, "There will always be another movie project, but I don't know if it's good or bad."

Aware of Lu Qian's gaze, Ji Xu hurriedly raised her hand to surrender, "Yes, yes, I know what you mean, and I agree with you, just to correct it."

Lu Qian chuckled, "However, I believe that Brother Su and the others will agree. This script..."

Lu Qian paused and thought about it.

"Although it is a love story, in fact, this is not a love movie."

Ji Xuyu frowned, completely unable to understand Lu Qian's self-contradictory words.

Seeing Ji Xu's expression, Lu Qian laughed cheerfully and reorganized his words.

"In my opinion, this is a movie about the city, and I hope to use the lens to record Lanchuan in my eyes."

"You should know that when I was shooting 'Deadpool', I wanted to try this. Although it is very regrettable that I could not complete the filming in Lanchuan, I still made some attempts to use the lens to depict the scene of Qingcheng. ."

"This project, I want to go further."

"Do you know how love is formed in memory?"

"It's those times and those spaces. I hope to capture the traces of love left in this city. This is also how we bond with a city."

"The coffee shop where she smashed her coffee cup when we first met, the beach where we went for a walk with her and got caught in the summer rainstorm, the bookstore where we read books with her and slept in..."

"Arguing with her led her to tears down the street and turned away at the intersection, her beach slippers broke and then put on my sneakers and I had to go home barefoot..."

"These trivial memories are often forgotten because of the passage of time, but when we return to these scenes, we see those familiar sights, hear those flowing melody, and even smell those that once appeared. the breath, and then the memories surged up and surrounded us."

Lu Qian paused, turned to look at Ji Xu, and showed a smile.

"After listening to Big Brother Su's story, I asked him a question, since the marriage left only scars, why didn't he leave and start a new life in a new city."

"He said, because this is the city where they once lived together~www.readwn.com~ A simple sentence, but it seems meaningful.

Ji Xu then fell silent.

Someone once said, if I can walk the road you have walked, read the books you have read, and see the scenery you have seen, then whether I can get a little closer to you.

Someone once said that maybe we can't be together, but that doesn't mean we don't love each other. The most helpless fact in real life is that love doesn't mean everything.

Although Ji Xu didn't know Su Changting's story, from Lu Qian's simple words, he could savor the sighs and bitterness.

So that Ji Xu's mood also calmed down, "So, what you want to shoot is not just a love story, but a story between a person and a city, a person and time."

Lu Qian nodded slightly in agreement.

"Student Ji, we have lived in Lanchuan for so many years. This city records our lives and footprints. Maybe we are no longer worried about food and clothing, but we have also experienced countless setbacks and hardships here."

"Then why didn't we leave?"

Because in the trivial daily life, their lives have gradually merged with the city.

The city of stars is dazzling, carrying their joys and sorrows, gatherings, separations and reunions.

In Lu Qian's words, Ji Xu could deeply feel Lu Qian's love for the city, and the corner of his mouth also rose slightly.

"I'm a little curious now, what will Lan Chuan look like in your camera."

A movie, carrying more than a story?

It is a love, a dream, a city, and a life. Obviously, this movie is of great significance to Lu Qian.
