Chapter 171 On campus
"Why did you suddenly think of making a movie as a director?"
Wang Shuxian was lying on the sofa, reading the script of "Love Letter", while asking casually. Although it was a bit strange that Lin Jing wanted to shoot a movie by herself, she was not too surprised. In her eyes, Lin Jing already had the image of a capable person being able to do everything.
"My interests and hobbies are movies, and being a director has always been my wish."
Lin Jing stopped writing and answered.
"Why write a book?"
“Just responsibility and accumulation.”
"I didn't expect you to hide so deeply. It turns out that you wrote so many things to make money. In the end, you are the purpose of making movies. If your book fans find out, you will probably feel sad."
"Probably not. If everyone likes it, I will still take time to write a little."
"Then after writing "The Rise of Great Powers", what will I write next? You know, I have no interest in this "The Rise of Great Powers".
"This is a bit far away. My plan is scheduled for next year, so I'm not available for the time being."
...
The original work of "Love Letter" tells the story of a snowy winter day in Kobe, Japan. Hakuko Watanabe was once again so sad that she couldn't help herself on the third anniversary of her former fiancé Fujiiki. It was because she could not suppress her longing for her deceased lover, Hakuko Watanabe found the address of "Fujiiki" when she was studying in Otaru City in the record of her classmates, and then sent a love letter that she thought was sent to heaven.
Unexpectedly, soon, Hiroko Watanabe received a reply letter signed by the name "Fuzuki". After further understanding, she learned that Fujiiki was a girl of similar age and was also a classmate of her former fiancé Fujiiki when she was a teenager.
In order to learn more about the situation of her former lover in middle school, Watanabe Hiroko began to send letters to the female Fujiiki. Fujiiki was constantly recalling her. She gradually discovered that Fujiiki, who had the same name and surname as her in her youth, had once hidden a tenderness to herself.
This is a very pure and simple story about secret love. There is no grand and thrilling scene, but only the faint feelings of young girls, like a trickle of streams and drizzle in the wind.
Of course, it is definitely not possible to write this story directly and unchanged.
Lin Jing put the background of the entire story in Taiwan, and then expanded the proportion of the plot of the youth and added more and more rich details. When she was watching this movie, she felt very good. But after all, she felt a little regretful that the plot of the youth was a little weak.
After the script was ready, she planned to invite Anhua Xu to be the producer and Du Kefeng to be the photography director.
The reason why Ann Hsu was invited to be the producer is because Ann Hsu is already the number one master of art films among Hong Kong directors. She is familiar with every detail of Hong Kong filming. This is exactly what Lam Jing lacks.
Even though she has a lot of directorial experience and even many novel and efficient directorial skills in later generations, she has never filmed anything in this land of Hong Kong, even a few seconds of short films.
As for letting Du Kefeng be the photography director, it is because Du Kefeng's style just fits the movie "Love Letter".
Just as a girl's feelings are always poetry, the pictures in "Love Letter" require aesthetic, sunny, and clean. Du Kefeng is best at this kind of scene. Although he is still a little immature now, he is already progressing and mature.
The reason why Lin Jing puts the first movie since her rebirth on "Love Letter" is that this movie is very good. She likes it very much. Secondly, "Love Letter" is not a big production, and it just happens to be used.
She didn't think much about the box office.
In fact, there is still a market for art films. To put it correctly, art films that most people can understand well can have a market for art films, although they are generally not as good as commercial films in box office. Moreover, at present, Taiwan and Japan are both the two major art films. It should be no problem to rely on these two regions and countries alone to recover costs and make a small profit.
The big reason why she didn't start the production immediately was that Lin Jing was not sure that she could shoot as well as the original, even if she had the complete picture of the original in her mind.
It's like a math problem. You get the final reference answer from the bottom, but if you haven't learned the relevant knowledge and know the corresponding formula in the specific derivation process, you still can't do it.
From easy to difficult!
After reading the script, Wang Shuxian chatted with Lin Jing for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, he left with all the drawings of "Slam Dunk" and a little melancholy caused by reading "Love Letter".
But she stayed with her mother in the hotel for one night, and then came to CUHK again the next day. She came with her luggage. She obviously planned to stay for a long time. She also called it a sensation of the campus life of college students and make up for the regrets of being a dropout.
Lin Jing didn't feel that there was too much inconvenience in this regard.
So every day, the two of them go in and out together, running and exercising, playing basketball, going to classes, eating and bubbleing in the library.
During class, Lin Jing was listening carefully, but Wang Tuanxian couldn't understand it. In addition, he had no interest in these "straight things". He just took "Slam Dunk" alone and watched it with relish. Occasionally, he would look up and look at the teacher's blackboard writing, and then quietly commented in Lin Jing's ear.
"The Lakeside Will Be Cold This Year" is not released in Hong Kong, so no one in the classroom except Lin Jing.
However, for Wang Shuxian, this tall and beautiful girl who is not inferior to Lin Jing, when she stepped into the classroom with Lin Jing's arm on her shoulder, most people felt their eyes lit up and asked in their hearts: Who is this girl I have never seen before, which department is a student, or a transfer student?
Especially after filming a movie, Wang Shuxian seemed much more mature in dealing with people and things, and was generous and easy to make people feel good.
So many people sighed, why do such high-quality girls always appear around Lin Jing? Is it really that birds of feathers of birds of feathers flock together?
After class, before Lin Jing and Wang Cuixian had time to walk out of the classroom, some brave boys who were full of confidence in themselves ran over to chat with him when they saw the opportunity.
Maybe because Lin Jing was by her side, maybe in order to leave a good impression on Wang Shuxian, everyone who came over to meet him was very graceful. They asked for their names and said that they would just click on it, not like crazy bees and waves butterflies.
When it was time to eat, in order to preserve his reserved and polite image in class, Wang Shuxian, who had been holding it in for a few hours, finally couldn't help it anymore, and chattered like a lively magpies, talking endlessly about what he saw and heard.
What kind of lake is very beautiful? If you can sit in the pavilion in the lake and read comics, it will definitely feel good. Then when you talk about the students in the classroom during class, you will say that the boys who are chatting with you are generous on the surface, but in fact you are stupid. Sometimes you will say that the girls in the class are Lin Jing. Then you ask, is she a class beauty, or a school beauty?
Lin Jing replied: Joke!
In fact, the school spirit of the CUHK is relatively rigorous. It is too late for everyone to be busy with their studies, so there is no energy to come and go to beauty pageants.
Moreover, the Internet has not yet appeared in this era, and the information is relatively backward. Although it is not as good as yelling to convey information, it will not be fast. So, like later generations, similar examples like "Milk Tea Sister" will not appear at this time.
Moreover, everyone’s social circles are not very wide, and they are generally limited to dormitories. They are from the same department for one semester. If the relationship is not very good, they may not meet several times, and they may have the intention of not having sex with each other.
Of course, there may be some rumors. If the hormones of youth do not emit some blood, then it is not youth.
A student is very good at studying. When you know, you can only sigh: It’s amazing!
A student is very beautiful. When everyone sees it, they can only praise him: Wow, it’s quite beautiful!
But it will definitely not be like those bad youth campus novels, with flowers and plants constantly.
As for appearance, please, we are MENA students and prides. As for how to do such superficial things as judging people by their appearance? Although we don’t deny being beautiful, everyone is worried.
Only those like Lin Jing who have written many works that are widely circulated or influential, and have talked about history on TV shows and triggered trends. They are both temporary figures in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and are known as the number one talented woman in Hong Kong and have a great reputation, but no one has commented on them.
So, after all, she had never heard of beauty pageants, let alone class flowers, school beauties, school grass and other things.
