The first person to see the script of Spring in a Small Town was Feng Xiaogang, and Lin Zixuan mentioned this story to him.
After the first draft came out, Feng Xiaogang took it and read it, but it was still very rough and imperfect.
Lin Zixuan used to write scripts according to the pictures in his memory, which was relatively flat, just like explaining a painting, very boring and emotionless.
Later, I handled more scripts, learned screenwriting skills, added my own understanding of the plot, and gradually smoothed out.
That's where practice comes from.
In fact, most of the time, he writes the outline, which is supplemented by other screenwriters, and he finally checks it, as long as it is not far from the plot in his memory, there is no need to be exactly the same.
The script is very important as the foundation of a play, but during the filming process, the director will revise it according to the actual situation.
So, the script is not set in stone.
Up to now, Lin Zixuan rarely writes scripts in person, otherwise those screenwriters in the company would have nothing to do.
For example, in the endless play, he and Feng Xiaogang discussed a general direction and handed it over to the people below to discuss and come up with all kinds of funny jokes.
Some jokes may not be used in this play, but they may have unexpected effects in other plays.
A script is often the result of collective wisdom, not the work of one person.
The screenwriters of Good Dream Company will create their own stories, as long as they are interesting, in the case of abundant funds, Lin Zixuan will invest in filming, and a company cannot rely on only one or two people to support it.
For the book Spring of a Small Town, Lin Zixuan personally wrote the first draft, and then handed it over to the screenwriter to improve.
He attaches great importance to this film and does not want to destroy it in his own hands.
This is different from making a Chinese New Year movie, there is one less plot in an entertainment film, or a few more shots is not a big problem, and the audience will not be nitpicky when they look at the pictures of entertainment films.
Art films are more rigorous and pursue artistic conception, and a superfluous shot may ruin the entire film.
This is not to replicate the Spring of a Small Town, it doesn't make much sense, every director's understanding of art is different, Lin Zixuan just writes his own feelings about the story as much as possible.
Due to different experiences, everyone feels differently when they read this story.
Twenty-year-olds look at the Spring of the Town and feel that the heroine should leave the town with the young doctor and pursue freedom and happiness.
Thirty-year-olds will have a difficult feeling of deciding whether the heroine will leave the town to pursue freedom, or take responsibility and stay with her husband, they will be confused.
People over forty years old can understand the heroine's choices, love and family, morality and seduction, and there is a scale here.
A good movie will make the audience think differently.
Feng Xiaogang has made three Chinese New Year films, and he is thinking about transformation, but he has not yet found a direction, or his own style.
The media summarized Feng Xiaogang's film as "Feng's humor", believing that this is the characteristic of Feng Xiaogang's film.
But Feng Xiaogang himself doesn't think so, he thinks it's the reason for the script, not his style, he is not a director with a personality, and he is still groping.
"I took advantage of the script and made three films of the same type, and everyone labeled me and thought that I was like this."
Feng Xiaogang said helplessly, "I can also make other films, it's all impossible." ” When Lin Zixuan finished writing the first draft of the Spring of the Small Town, Feng Xiaogang took it.
A few days later, Feng Xiaogang returned the manuscript to Lin Zixuan with a serious expression.
"I've been thinking about it for days, and I can't shoot this film."
Feng Xiaogang said seriously, "If you are reluctant, you can shoot it, but you can't shoot the taste inside, or you will wait a few years, wait for forty years old, and make a few more films." ” It seems that this is just a story of the relationship between men and women, but in the historical context of the time, it has a different meaning.
In Feng Xiaogang's opinion, this script is too elegant, too restrained, and the scale is not easy to grasp, especially the relationship between men and women, as long as it goes a little too far, it will destroy the overall atmosphere.
Just by reading the script, you can feel the nuanced emotional entanglement, the loneliness that cannot be told.
"The director who makes this drama must be calm and delicate, but he must not be as indifferent as a bystander, and he must be able to blend in."
Feng Xiaogang analyzed, "This requires experience, as well as rich experience in filmmaking. ” "Brother Feng, do you think that director in China can shoot" Lin Zixuan asked.
"If Zhang Yimou shows the state of being alive, it should be no problem, but his current state is not easy to say."
Feng Xiaogang commented, "Jiang Wen can't do it, Jiang Wen can put it, but he can't accept it, he has a breath in his heart, and he can't restrain it, and when he smooths out the breath in his heart, he can make this kind of quiet film." ” The two chatted about famous directors in China, from the fourth generation to the fifth generation, and the sixth generation who have just become active.
"There's also a director, but he can't film right now."
Feng Xiaogang pointed out, "It's Tian Zhuangzhuang, who was fined for ten years last time and can't work as a director, his style is appropriate, but it's a pity." ” Due to the illegal participation of the film in the Tokyo International Film Festival, Tian Zhuangzhuang received the most severe punishment from the General Administration.
Although he can't make films now, he still works in the Beijing Film Studio, helping some young people to embark on the road of directing.
Lin Zixuan was not in a hurry to find the director of Spring in a Small Town, he first asked the company's screenwriter to supplement and improve the script and hand it over to Chen Daoming and others to see if they were willing to act.
After the filming of the prequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the sequel will not be launched until next year.
The sequel mainly tells the story of Yu Jiaolong's son, Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian have become legends on the rivers and lakes and do not need to appear.
Yu Feihong planned to go to the United States to continue her studies, and before she left, she received a script from Lin Zixuan.
She hesitated after reading the script of Spring in a Small Town, and she liked the role of Zhou Yuwen, a young woman in the script, very much.

Zhou Yuwen is young and beautiful, living in a small city like stagnant water, and has no relationship with her husband, so she can only enjoy herself every day.
In the face of her old lover, she hesitated and struggled, wanting to get love and freedom, but finally chose to stay by her husband's side and buried her love in her heart.
This character is very contradictory and natural, this film tests the acting skills of the actors, and there is a lot of inner drama.
How to express mental activities through dialogue and action can be just right, no more, no less, very challenging.
It is difficult for an actor to meet a character with such a rich heart, which is something that can be met but not sought.
In this way, Yu Feihong is not in a hurry to leave the country. t1706231537:
