Jiang Wei is a native of Shandong, graduated from Qufu Normal University, and was admitted to Nortel's directing department as a graduate student.

Qufu, as we all know, is the hometown of Confucius, the birthplace of the Yellow Emperor, the former capital of Shennong, the former country of Shang Yin, the capital of Zhou, Han and Lu, and an important birthplace of oriental culture.

Sometimes geographical determinism really has a certain truth, Jiang Wei, who is very elegant in appearance, has one of the few idealists in this era in his bones, with his own toughness, his own persistence and integrity!

Typical traditional literati!

The dramas he wrote are all very exciting, with strong suspense, tense and gripping plots, and full of literary and artistic lines, of course, some private expressions are inevitable. Therefore, his works are basically case-related dramas, without him, case-related dramas are the best themes with private goods.

It's a pity that the magic is one foot high and one foot high.

I won't let me shoot.

There is a way to be endless, and the hit of "Secret Calculation" last year made these TV people who originally did suspense themes find a way out all of a sudden.

The suspense theme and spy war are also quite compatible. And spy war dramas also seem to be able to carry private goods, which seems to be more secretive. Looking at the works of the later generations known as the "father of spy warfare", more or less always find a modern shadow in those in power.

So Jiang Wei fell in love with "Latent".

Why Latent?

What is the charm of these more than 10,000 words?

First of all, the characters are very distinctive, husband and wife, Yu Zecheng is a scholar with polite qualities, Cui Ping is a barbaric and rude country woman, and she smokes dry tobacco, the two of them get together, there must be a play, this is a typical character in a typical environment.

Cui Ping has a mouthful of yellow teeth, a short cigarette pouch in his mouth, and the smoke that spews out is like a locomotive, and the side of his feet is used as an ashtray to make an inkstone he just bought......

There are so many stories to tell about the elegance and roughness at first sight, the characters are so contrasting, but they have to live under the same roof, pretend to be intimate, and carry out tasks together!

After reading it, the screenwriter's natural attributes were activated, and he immediately thought of how to enrich these two people, the original work, and Yu Zewei himself is our personnel, which is not good, I have to give him an opportunity to change his identity......

Cui Ping, such a quality is definitely not suitable for underground work, why arrange for him to lurk with Yu Zecheng?

The original book didn't say it, but Jiang Wei thought of a few ideas, for example, the organization originally planned to let her sister lurk, but unfortunately her sister was killed, so she arranged for Cuiping, who looked similar, to come over......

There are also opponents, who seem to be a little single, and may need to arrange several different opponents, and it is even better if the opponents are in conflict with each other......

The more Lao Jiang thought about it, the more excited he became, and hurriedly contacted the author to buy the film and television adaptation rights, and then he was told that he had already been bought, and it was Xinhao Studio that was bought, that is, Xinhao Media, which is now very popular because of the production of "Stone".

Because "Latent" is only a film of more than 10,000 words, Jiang Wei thought they were going to adapt it into a movie at first, but when he inquired, he found that the film and television copyrights of the two films purchased by Xinhao Media at the same time, one had been adapted and even started soon, while the other had no movement.

Coincidentally, the screenwriter and director of "The Story of Two Donkeys" is his friend Diao Yinan. Although Diao Yinan was born in Chinese opera, he belongs to the same category of people as him.

To paraphrase a certain Hong Kong king: In this circle, there are many temptations, and there are many bad things, but you must maintain your original intention and strive to do what you should do.

There is a saying: but do good deeds, don't ask about the future, there is light ahead, don't forget the original intention!

Jiang Wei and Diao Yinan have always boasted that they are such people.

I guess it smells like it.

So Jiang Wei asked his good friend to say to Xinhao Media that it is best to be able to transfer copyright, and it is possible to cooperate if it cannot be transferred.

And the reply given by the other party is also simple, the copyright is not sold, but you can talk about cooperation.

Jiang Wei was invited to come.

"Mr. Jiang, this is an outline I wrote myself, and a few more characters have been added according to the plot, please palm. ”

Although He Xin put his posture very low and spoke very politely, Jiang Wei was very disapproving, and even a little disgusted. He studied liberal arts in college and has a master's degree in directing from Nortel, and as a screenwriter and director, he attaches great importance to scripts, and he especially hates the bad behavior of some big-name actors who change words at every turn.

In his opinion, a first-class actor is not as good as a third-rate screenwriter at all, and he has a specialization in the art industry. If you are good at acting, it doesn't mean that you can write a screenplay, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending to be?

When he took over the outline of the script handed over by He Xin, he had even begun to think about how to use tactful wording to evaluate the so-called outline in his hand later, after all, the copyright is now in the hands of others, and if the words are inappropriate, the cooperation may be lost.

Yu Zecheng, 28 years old, graduated from the military youth training class, with a steady personality and the pursuit of intellectuals......

Jiang Wei opened the outline, and the beginning was the character introduction of the protagonist Yu Zecheng, but his eyes lit up when he saw the first line. After graduating from the history department of the university, he is all too familiar with this history.

The so-called military youth training class was during the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, when Dai Li organized an anti-Japanese special unit in Qingpu, a suburb of Shanghai, but in the process of development, he found that many of the grassroots special forces were young people who had dropped out of school and were unemployed, and it was a pity to let these valuable young people with knowledge act as ordinary combatants.

Thinking about the long-term development, Dai Li decided to train his own strength in it. So Dai Li personally served as the head teacher, opened the "Qingpu Special Training Class", referred to as the "Youth Training Class", and established his own lineage strength, and the daily work of the special training class was presided over by Deputy Director Yu Lexing. The egg hurts

The story of "Latent" takes place after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and Yu Zecheng is 28 years old, which is very suitable for the intellectual youth who dropped out of school in his early twenties.

Jiang Wei didn't think it was just a simple coincidence, on the contrary, he was a little impressed by He Xin, at least he knew a little bit of history, not the kind of nonsense that patted his head.

It's just that the more he reads, the more surprise on his face becomes.

For example, in the original book, Yu Zecheng himself was our personnel, and he felt that it was too simple, and He Xin's description in the outline was that Yu Zecheng fell in love with a Chinese officer during the anti-Japanese war, and he was full of hope that if he won the victory, he could take off his military uniform and live with his beloved. But reality and love made him go from sympathizing with our party at the beginning to getting closer to our party, and finally became an excellent lurker.

For example, Cui Ping was originally not suitable for working on the ground, but the setting in the outline was almost exactly the same as he envisioned, and the organization originally planned to let her sister lurk, but unfortunately her sister was killed, so she arranged for Cui Ping, who looked similar, to come over......

In addition, the opponent Lao Ma seems to be a little single, and the outline is split into three characters: Ma Kui, Lu Qiaoshan, and Li Ya. And each character has very different personalities, which is destined to have different ways of doing things.

The most important thing is that the settings of these characters are very reasonable. For example, Ma Kui was engaged in action, assassinating both traitors and our personnel during the anti-Japanese period, and had an impulsive personality; Lu Qiaoshan engaged in intelligence and was insidious; Li Ya, since he dared to lurk in Yan'an and refused to give in after being arrested, he was destined to be an opponent with extremely rigorous work and persistent beliefs.

There are even many things he didn't expect, such as the character of Zuo Lan, who played a leading role in Yu Zecheng's transformation, and Zuo Lan's sacrifice, including the sacrifice of Section Chief Lu and others before, increased the tragic color, making Yu Zecheng's character more and more clear, more and more determined, and completing several stages of growth.

There are also branch lines of Late Autumn and Xie Ruolin and so on.

"Whew-"

After reading it in one breath, Jiang Wei let out a long breath, and couldn't suppress the surprise on his face: "Xiaohe, this outline of yours is too good! To put it a little bit big, many of your ideas here simply coincide with what I envisioned before! It is even more exciting and ingenious than I imagined, interlocking, I basically pick out any loopholes, which is very convincing." ”

Saying that, he inevitably had some doubts: "I think that with the current outline, as long as you find a few screenwriters to fill it in, you can shoot it, why do you still want to cooperate with me?"

In fact, Jiang Wei said this, combined with the style of his previous works, He Xin has already decided that the screenwriter and director of the original "Latent" should be the one in front of him.

He also suppressed the snickering joy in his heart, and pretended to be modest on the surface: "Mr. Jiang won't tell you, my level is limited, and I can only show some of the plots and characters I envisioned in the form of an outline. I've seen all of your previous works, and I think this kind of spy war genre is especially suitable for the wonderful suspense style of your previous works. ”

"Haha, Xiaohe, you are too polite. But I always think that the most important thing to make a good work is imagination, and your outline is full of imagination!"

"Teacher Jiang, in that case, how do you think we cooperate?" He Xin hurriedly pushed the boat down the river.

"Uh......"

Jiang Wei didn't react for a while, he liked the theme of "Latent" in his heart, he originally came to ask for help, and they already had such a good outline, it was written to his heart, and even many of the characters and plot structures he was still envisioning had been shown.

As a result, the other party offered to cooperate, as if happiness came a little suddenly.

He Xin thought that Jiang Wei was a little hesitant, and said busily: "Teacher Jiang, don't worry, we cooperate, screenwriter and director, all of them are you, and our company is responsible for investing ......."

Jiang Wei has the high level of traditional knowledge knowledge, and hurriedly interrupted: "No, no, no, the signature of the first screenwriter must be you." ”

"This ...... It doesn't seem to be a good fit, right?" He Xin still wanted to excuse himself.

But Jiang Wei said resolutely: "Xiaohe, you don't have to shirk this, I just said that a good work, often imagination is the most important, you see that your outline has already built the skeleton of the whole drama, and the next work is just to fill in the flesh and blood, which is not worth mentioning." ”

After listening to it, He Xin thought about it, after all, there are still many scenes he wants to shoot in the future, and now that he has this screenwriter's signboard, he can paint a scoop according to the gourd in the future, and it will not look abrupt.

However, on the surface, he still nodded reluctantly and said, "Then since you say so, then I will be disrespectful." By the way, Mr. Jiang, then we will cooperate, you see ......"

Jiang Wei didn't have any hesitation at this time, the script outline and investment were all available, and the key people agreed to let him write and direct the screenplay, so he nodded and said, "I took this play." ”

When He Xin heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Teacher Jiang, there are only two conditions on our side. ”

"You say. ”

"I like the character of Yu Zecheng very much, when I bought the film and television adaptation copyright of this play, I just wanted to play the character of Yu Zecheng. In addition, regarding the role of Zuo Lan, to be honest, I wrote it according to my girlfriend Cheng Hao's template from the beginning. ”

As soon as He Xin's words fell, he saw Jiang Wei and said with a look of surprise: "Xiaohe, do you mean that you and Cheng Hao are both going to join this play?"

"Of course. ”

"Great!"

Jiang Wei slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Xiaohe, I'll put the words here for you now, with this outline, plus you and Cheng Hao have joined, there is absolutely no reason for this drama to fail." ”

"Then I'll be even more relieved!" He Xin said with a smile, "Then Mr. Jiang, I'll ask someone from the company to talk to you about your remuneration when I go back, and if you have any ideas, you can also put them forward." ”

"Oh, Xiaohe, you just said that there are two conditions, so this is it?"

Jiang Wei was surprised, he seemed to feel that happiness came more suddenly.
