Chapter 195 What is the next movie...
"Qin Zi, I'm so sorry."
Walking out of the dining room in Meidu, Xu Haofeng looked embarrassed. Wang Sunglass's secrecy work is too good, and the role of Yixiantian has long been decided by default.
Ye Qin didn't care, he flicked the sunglasses he asked for from Wang Sunglasses as a small reward.
By the way, he hooked his lips: "Old Xu, don't be embarrassed, without you, I wouldn't be able to get this care."
"You mean the call you asked Director Wang to make for you just now?"
Xu Haofeng was very puzzled, just now in the taxi, he saw Ye Qin chatting with Zhou Runfa, and asked him to take care of him:
"Qin Zi, why are you looking for Zhuang Wenqiang?"
"Of course I asked him to write the script."
.........
Today, Zhuang Wenqiang encountered a strange thing.
Just now, he received a call from his senior, Wang Sunjing, recommending someone who sincerely wanted to talk about film and television script creation.
One question, the co-author is the dark horse in the mainland this summer, the hero of "Embroidered Spring Knife".
All of a sudden, there were mixed feelings. The name "Ye Qin" was the second time he had heard from other people that he was looking for him to cooperate with the script.
The first time was last night when Jiang Wen personally called and said that he had a little brother who wanted to take care of him.
Not to mention Jiang Wen's status in the Chinese film industry, but the "Guan Yunchang" he starred in was directed by himself, so it should give some face.
But unfortunately, "Eavesdropping 2" directed by the director will be released on August 8.
In the face of the menacing "Embroidered Spring Knife" and "Transformers 3", they are actively preparing for the announcement, so there is no time to be busy with the script.
As a result, this time there was another king sunglasses.
This son's connections are unbelievable.
Just as he was debating whether to agree or not, another phone rang in the studio.
At first glance, my heart was extremely excited, it was Zhou Runfa, Brother Fa!
Zhuang Wenqiang is a die-hard fan of Zhou Runfa, when he received a call from his idol, he would not dare to neglect it, and immediately answered it.
"Director Zhuang, please excuse me. I wonder if you are free to come to my villa. There is a young man here who has admired you for a long time. I hope I can talk to you about the script of the movie."
What the hell!
This Ye Qin became more and more powerful, even his brother Fa, who was meow, was mobilized.
so dragging?
Jiang Wen, Wang Sunjing, Zhou Runfa, and Zhuang Wenqiang must give face if they don’t give it.
Although he has always only written scripts for the Hong Kong circle.
…………
Kowloon Tong villa area.
Any random building in Xiangjiang, where every inch of land is expensive, is worth hundreds of millions.
Zhou Runfa's villa has only 2 floors, the overall appearance is white, simple and clean, but the interior is low-key and luxurious.
There are white Roman columns, a large fireplace, crystal lights above the head are shining, and straw paintings are hung on the walls.
In the spacious and bright living room, he saw his dream idol, Zhou Runfa, chatting happily with a young man.
"Qiangzi, don't stand, sit down, do you want a bowl of soup?"
Chen Huilian virtuously held the "Bawang Flower Festival Melon Boiled Pig Lee" to relieve the summer heat, "Come, Ye Zi, drink it while it's hot."
When handing it to Zhou Runfa, under her soft reminder, Ye Qin held the bowl and turned his head, and finally saw this hard-to-date Hong Kong nail family.
Right now, he can be regarded as the director and screenwriter after To Qifeng, and together with Mak Chiu-fai, he is carrying the banner of Hong Kong-style police and gangster films.
Apart from "Eavesdropping", the most well-known one is of course "Infernal Affairs", which was dubbed "the last glory of Hong Kong movies". This film adapted by Hollywood cannot save the declining Hong Kong film.
It is because "Infernal Affairs" opened up a new direction for Hong Kong films with the same themes, that is, gangster movies, so that after the millennium, Hong Kong movies are flooded with gangster movies.
"Slaying the Wolf", "The Witness", "The Fuse", "Drug War"...
After that, the anti-corruption series, "Cold War", the gangster series, and "The Big Tree Attracts the Wind", have been hanging the lives of local Hong Kong films.
"Wu Shuang" is a rare Hong Kong-style police and gangster film with brain-burning suspense elements.
"Ye Zi, if someone is here, tell me what you think?"
Zhou Runfa picked up the spoon, mixed the soup, and handed over the conversation to them completely, silently, like a soup-drinking crowd.
"That's right. I don't know what kind of script Mr. Ye wants to find me to write. I'm really curious."
Since you asked sincerely, Ye Qin had no choice but to retell the general plot of "Wu Shuang":
"There is a counterfeiting criminal gang that has mastered the technology of manufacturing the latest counterfeit US dollar bills. It is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, and it conducts transactions around the world..."
Zhuang Wenqiang was very interested at first, and found it quite interesting, but the more he listened to it, the more astonished he became.
Wait a minute, isn't this the story I imagined!
Without waiting patiently for the end, he interjected, "Is it possible that in the end, the leader who was arrested was Fang Wen as you mentioned, and the 'leader' Fang Wen mentioned was just an innocent person."
Zhou Runfa frowned slightly, he was listening to the story vigorously, hazy, full of suspense, suddenly interrupted by someone to give a spoiler, one can imagine how uncomfortable it was.
Zhuang Wenqiang quickly explained that he also had this idea, and spent a few days writing a similar outline of the story.
No one has been willing to invest, but in 10 years, relying on "Eavesdropping", I finally have my own representative to do it, polish and perfect the script, but still no one is willing to vote.
"You two have such a tacit understanding?" Zhou Runfa asked in surprise.
"I didn't expect that either." Ye Qin expressed his strong interest, "I wonder if Director Zhuang has any ideas for cooperation?"
In the previous life, the production cost of "Wu Shuang" was 2.6 million. That was the 18-year Chinese film market, which was enough to support a high-quality movie, and it could easily reach 10 billion.
But now, the cost will inevitably drop. The reason why Ye Qin found Zhuang Wenqiang was not to find a screenwriting team, because "Wu Shuang" has old-fashioned Hong Kong elements, which cannot be written in the mainland.
Moreover, if Xiangjiang police station is replaced by national security, special police, even public security, have to report for special approval, which has a high probability of failing.
"Not in the mainland, nor in Xiangjiang."
Zhuang Wenqiang said bitterly: "The Xiangjiang Film and Television Department also doesn't issue permits for filming."
The Department of Film and Television, its full name is the Department of Film and Entertainment Affairs Management, is similar to the Film Bureau in the Mainland, and the General Administration of Optoelectronics in Hong Kong is probably the Hong Kong Broadcasting Bureau.
Ye Qin's expression changed, isn't it, sir, are you kidding me, just because the printed US knife?
Xiangjiang cannot even be filmed, and it is even less likely to be released in the mainland. Maybe it will be able to be released only if the standards such as Ning Hao and Xu Shanzheng's "No Man's Land" have been properly relaxed for several years.
If you can't pass the trial, everything is useless.
Zhuang Wenqiang lamented: "In this book, the fictional artist in it is completely designed according to Brother Xiao Ma played by Brother Fa. It's a pity."
Ye Qin also felt helpless and regretful, "The Great Master" was inspired by Wang Sunjing's free prostitution, and "Wu Shuang" could not be filmed.
It's a pity that I can't travel across the world with Fa Ge immediately.
"It's okay, Director Zhuang, we can't shoot this year, maybe tomorrow the standards will be relaxed a bit, and we will be able to issue a permit to shoot."
Zhuang Wenqiang was encouraged, because the script of "Wu Shuang" has a hidden hero and cherishes the hero, and they have drawn closer to each other.
"Did you forget me, this painter, no one can play well except me."
Maybe Zhou Runfa made a promise, and then glanced at Ye Qin who was in a daze, thinking he was disappointed, so he said a few words of forgiveness.
As everyone knows, Ye Qin is operating the system, staring at [Special: Performance Announcement], decisively giving up "Wu Shuang".
I was extremely depressed, hey, I moved out of the second half of the year, and I had to find a new film and television drama.
Performance announcements are not everything!
"Ye Zi, young people, why are you sighing, this movie can't be filmed for the time being, there are still a lot of movies waiting for you, you have been in the limelight recently."
Zhou Runfa, as an elder, reminded: "However, don't take all the books indiscriminately. You can't shoot bad movies casually."
Ye Qin shook his head and laughed: "It's because I don't have a good book that I have to ask Brother Fa for help, please guide Zhuang."
"I have a message, you can try it."
Zhuang Wenqiang said in an uncertain tone: "My friend Guo Zijian said that Master Xing recently made a movie, but it took a whole month to audition for more than a dozen actors, but he couldn't find a suitable lead."
"We put a lot of pressure on the local investors. If you think you can stand Master Xing, you can go and try it. The movie is very confidential, only know that it is related to "Journey to the West"!"
Ye Qin: 0.0
I fuck?
"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"?
