Chapter 666: Embarrassment

Based on his impression of the embarrassing series of movies such as "Thai Embarrassment", "Hong Kong Embarrassment", and "Embarrassment Mother", He Xin has always thought that "People in Embarrassment" was also directed by Xu Guangtou.

In fact, "People in the Poor" was originally made by a small company in Wuhan. Since "Stone" has won nearly 100 million at the box office with an investment of less than 10 million, major mountains, especially those new companies that have just entered the industry, have targeted comedy and want to become the second "Stone".

Of course, there are also successful examples, such as this year's summer file "Ten Perfect", which brushed down more than 50 million at the box office, making the fledgling Yue Fat Man famous in one fell swoop and winning the favor of fat beauties.

And because of the popularity of "Stone", the actors in "Stone" have become fragrant and sweet. In "Ten Perfect", Brother Liu Hua contributed a wonderful performance.

So the small company in Wuhan found Xu Guangtou, and at the same time invited Xu Sanduo Wang Baobao, who became popular because of "Soldier Assault", to form a pair of shrewd bosses and stupid hat migrant workers with Xu Guangtou. The director is Hong Kong director Ye Weimin, who co-directed "Casting Names" with Chen Kexin.

After all, the small company in Wuhan is new to the industry, and it is particularly superstitious about the production team in Hong Kong.

However, it is not inaccurate for He Xin to mistakenly believe that Xu Guangtou is the director. In fact, during the filming of this drama, the so-called Hong Kong director was a dry eater, and some wonderful passages were basically Xu Guangtou Zhang Luo.

Now that He Xin has an idea, naturally there is nothing to do with the small company in Wuhan.

It was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening after the premiere, but Xu Guangtou's interest was very high, He Xin had no choice, first asked his girlfriend to help send Xiao Taohong home, and he found a teahouse with him to sit down.

After a long exam, he also figured it out. Although he is a reborn, after all, his ability is limited, and it is impossible to take all the good things on himself. In the future, "Wolf Warrior 2" will create a miracle at the Chinese box office, do you still want to rob Wu Jing's job and play Wolf Warrior?

Besides, Xu Guangtou is indeed capable, as an actor, he is also the owner of a film and television company, taking advantage of Xu Guangtou's fledgling, wouldn't it be fragrant to let him help make money?

Even if you take 10,000 steps back, even if Xu Guangtou is not satisfied with the status quo in the future, as long as you hold the copyright of the Embarrassment series in your hands, there is still a basis for joint cooperation, and cooperation can be a win-win situation!

He is not Sichuan Jianguo.

Therefore, as soon as he sat down, he unreservedly described to Xu Guangtou his already typed draft:

"My vision for this story is that a mean boss comes home for the Spring Festival and meets a migrant worker who lacks heart, and the two of them first took a plane, but they didn't expect the weather to change......"

Since He Xin entered the industry, he has been constantly improving his aesthetics and appreciation of movies, so that when he recalls some film and television dramas that were very impressive in his previous life, he often finds some criticisms and unreasonable places.

Just like "People in Embarrassment", this is a natural Chinese New Year movie, especially suitable for being released before the Spring Festival. Spring Festival, most people resonate.

As a comedy, the original version is still qualified, but there are still problems of one kind or another. For example, the plot of a teacher going to the street to beg for a student is very embarrassing, and forcibly sensationalizing does not count, where do you put the party and the government?

and the handsome painter who appeared inexplicably and then disappeared inexplicably, which also seems redundant throughout the movie.

So in the process of narrating with Xu Guangtou, He Xin removed the plot of the painter, and then changed the bloody scene of the teacher begging to a thief between the two of them, and the migrant workers stupidly went up to catch them, and the boss had no choice but to help, so he made a series of jokes.

It's just that the role of the teacher in the original version was played by Xiao Zhang, otherwise she would have given her the role of King Pingxi, after all, she had studied Trump with her before. Besides, Miss Xiao Zhang's long black is also in line with the kind of character who travels south and north.

"This story is very mature, but why is Niu Geng a milking migrant worker, and most of the groups of migrant workers who owe wages are not construction workers?"

Xu Guangtou listened very seriously, and he was usually quite serious when he didn't smile in life, not as funny as in film and television dramas. The more serious people are, the more nitpicking and picking out the details.

Xu Guangtou's questioning is very accurate, thinking that when He Xingang was reborn, the first time he made a move was to fight wits and courage with the contractor who was in arrears of wages.

It should be said that arrears of wages for migrant workers in the construction industry have been a common phenomenon in recent years. The reason is that the project is subcontracted layer by layer, so migrant workers at the lowest end of the ecological chain often become the easiest group to ignore and the best to bully.

In addition, the birth of the original version is very characteristic of the times, such as why it encountered weather problems, it was because it happened to encounter a snow disaster that had not been encountered in a century around the Spring Festival in 08. Then the character of Niu Geng, played by Wang Baobao, who works in a dairy farm, is precisely because China suffered a serious dairy product pollution incident that led to the closure of many dairy farms.

The snow disaster has not happened yet, but the dairy contamination incident has come to light this month and is rapidly fermenting.

"Haven't you been paying attention to the news lately? A lot of things happen in anticipation. ”

"What's the news?"

Xu Guangtou was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "You are the poisonous ...... Incident, that's right, if this kind of thing happens, who will dare to buy domestic milk powder in the future! Niu Geng, as a migrant worker milking cows, is just time-sensitive! Okay, your design is good, and it also adds a burden of Niu Geng drinking milk on the spot, increases the laughter, and also publicizes from the side that most of the domestic milk is still safe, and only a small part of the problems occur. This is the greatest political correctness!"

Hey, I have to say that Xu Guangtou is far more than his chicken thief, he just thought of combining it with specific social events, but he didn't think of a deeper meaning. Xu Guangtou is not wrong at all, Niu Geng poured a large bucket of milk, and it was precisely through his own practice that he justified the name of domestic milk.

He even felt that it was very necessary to ask for some sponsorship from some of the leading milk companies in China.

Then Xu Guangtou twisted slightly: "Ah Xin, I just want to ask, are you interested in this story?"

He Xin's heart was clear, knowing that this guy had taken a fancy to him, and asked with a smile: "Brother Zheng, are you interested in this story?"

"Uh...... This ......" Xu Guangtou swallowed.

This guy has always been quite ambitious, uh, no, now it can only be said that he is very pursuing in his artistic career, for example, he took a fancy to the role of Mr. Feng in "Stone" before, and he can even offer to join for free.

is not only "Stone", but also starred with Gao Yuanyuan in the suspense thriller movie "The Third Man" directed by newcomer director Chen Er the year before last.

The investment in this movie is very small, because he likes the characters in it, he joins it almost for free, and it is said that during the filming process, this guy bullied Chen Er is a newcomer, learned from Comrade Jiang Wen, and forcibly mixed into the director's work, which is really addicted to the director.

It's a pity that it's useless, when this film was released on the National Day last year, there was "The Story of Two Donkeys" in front of Zhuyu, and "Lust and Caution" in the back, plus there were several Hong Kong films and imported films released at the same time.

And in the process of release, there was a plagiarism scandal, and careful audiences found that this "Third Man" was released in April last year and was directed by He Ping, starring Fan Xiaopang, Zha Zhahui, and Huang Qiusheng, which was known as "the first bad movie of 2007", and there are nearly 20 similarities and similarities in terms of character settings, character characteristics and story details.

For a while, the two films almost went to court, but in the end, it was the screenwriter and director Chen Er who showed the key evidence - the script of "The Third Man" had been reported to the Film Bureau as early as 2003 and obtained a shooting permit, which died down.

However, at that time, both films did not do well at the box office and had limited influence, so they did not cause much movement in society at that time. But most people in the circle know it, and it is obvious that He Ping's "Parasite" copied Chen Er's "The Third Man".

Speaking of He Pinglai, it also made He Xin think of another thing, that is, in the first half of this year, when He Ping and Fan Xiaopang personally invited him to join the blockbuster "Wheat Field", he flipped through the script and found that the script of "Wheat Field" was creatively similar to the costume movie starring Director Yang Shupeng, Hu Jun and Jiang Wu, who had already started filming at that time.

Afterwards, he also called Hu Jun to ask him, and after Hu Jun asked Yang Shupeng, he replied: At the "China Film Project Venture Capital Conference" of the Shanghai International Film Festival last year, Yang Shupeng's script of "Bitter Bamboo Forest" won the praise of the project with the most market investment potential. And what happens to be the comment among the judges of this venture capital fair.

That's hehe, and whether it's "Parasite" or "Wheat Field", you can't say that he is plagiarism, at most he combines other people's ideas with his own ideas for the so-called "second creation". To paraphrase a fashionable word in later generations, it is called "melting stalks"!

It seems that long before the appearance of "Rong Terrier Guo Xiaosi" and "Rong Terrier Chen Greasy", there was already "He Rong Terrier".

For this reason, Xu Guangtou was very indignant. He put a lot of effort into this movie "The Third Man", probably the only drawback is that Gao Yuanyuan's performance is a little blunt, but other than that, he thinks it is perfect. As for the box office hits, it was all dragged down by the bad movie "Parasite".

That's right, he has always had a dream of directing.

If you want to be a director, it's actually very simple, just like Ning Hao, you can be open-minded and invest in making your own movies. Of course, you have to succeed, but maybe 95% of it is lost.

The other is that there is a financier to invest in you.

But in these years, movies are very risky, and investment tends to be rational, even if there are unjust bosses like coal bosses, they have more TV series with relatively low investment thresholds.

It's a pity that Xu Guangtou is ambitious, and the character of the little man in Shanghai makes him more than a chicken thief, lacking courage, and he doesn't have Ning Hao's open-mindedness. Therefore, we can only seek projects that people are willing to invest in.

But he himself is not a director, although he has directed and acted in dramas and the hit TV series "Li Wei as an Official" before, and his current position in the circle is still a TV drama actor, and he has never proved his value in movies, so investors are not optimistic about him, not to mention that he does not have a good script at hand.

When he heard from Ning Hao's mouth that He Xin had a comedy idea with the theme of the Spring Festival, he began to pay attention to it, and afterwards he asked Ning Hao to inquire about it. Ning Hao knew the ambition of this product, and he also knew that this product still had some ability.

Of course, Ning Hao is also a chicken thief, although he is also the majority shareholder of the company, but after the development of the company over the years, he has a very clear positioning for himself, that is, to make good movies, make the movies he wants to make, and don't ask about other things. So he wouldn't help Xu Guangtou talk to He Xin, but just pleaded Xu Guangtou to find He Xin by himself.

Today, Xu Guangtou cheekily pestered He Xin, first of all, I just wanted to hear how about this idea? As a result, I found that the story He Xin said was already very mature, that is, the basic elements of story details, character settings, and character characteristics were all already available, and what I had to do later was to fill in the flesh and blood on the basis of this already built skeleton to complete the script.

In this way, he is more attentive. According to his thoughts, it is best for Xinhao Media to invest in this project, and then hand over the rest of the screenwriting work to him, and then strive for the director of this film on the basis of helping He Xin complete the script.

And he was just listening to He Xin's description, and he vaguely felt that the mean boss Li Chenggong in the story seemed to be tailor-made for himself.

"Uh...... This one...... Ah Xin, I'll tell you the truth, I like this story very much, if you don't mind, I'll help you finish this script?"

Xu Guangtou is a decent person, and it is difficult to open his mouth to ask for such a thing, but he still has the cheekiness to take the initiative to ask for help this time.

said, in order to hide his crampedness, he deliberately said: "Oh, by the way, I have to thank you for the matter of "No Man's Land". ”

When he was choosing the actor for "No Man's Land", he specially explained to Xu Guangtou that the role of a lawyer was He Xin from the beginning, and because of the schedule conflict, he immediately thought of him Xu Guangtou.

It was his turn to play the role that He Xin didn't play, which was not a humiliation for Xu Guangtou. In the final analysis, the two are far from each other in terms of coffee position, popularity, and honors.

Xu Guangtou felt honored, after all, apart from He Xin, Ning Hao's first thought was himself. What's more, the role of this lawyer is the absolute male lead in the play "No Man's Land", and it is a challenging role he likes.

"Yo, Brother Zheng, don't thank me for this, you should thank Haozi. ”

"No, no, no, Ning Hao also told me, and he said that you also recommended me to him at that time. ”

"Brother Zheng, what are you polite to me here. It's too late for you to help me perfect the script, and I'm too late. Actually,I'll tell you the truth.,If you don't look for me today.,When this book comes out.,I really want to talk to you.。 ”

He Xin finally stopped selling Guanzi.

"Oh, is it?" Xu Guangtou's eyes suddenly lit up.

It's no wonder that he was excited in his heart, thinking back to the film and television dramas made by Xinhao Media over the years, Shang Jing in "Wulin Gaiden", Jiang Wen in "Latent", Diao Yinan in "The Story of Two Donkeys", including Xinhao Media and Bona, and Liu Jiang in the first film of the young director plan "Immediate Departure" of China Film Lane, these director candidates are all selected and supported by He Xin without exception.

He Xin smiled and said, "Brother Zheng, don't you have the idea of trying to be a director?"

"Huh?"

Xu is happiness came too suddenly, and Xu Guangtou was stunned all of a sudden.

But immediately the face bloomed like a chrysanthemum, kept rubbing his hands, and cramped: "Ah Xin, are you really willing to trust me?"

"Brother Zheng, your ability is obvious to all. Besides, the investment in this story is not big, so you should try it!" He Xin said with a smile.

said, and added apologetically: "Brother Zheng, I'll tell you the truth, don't you mind?"

"Don't mind! Don't mind!" Xu shook his head busily.

To be honest, he really had a sour nose at this moment, on the one hand, the dream of directing that he had been striving for was finally coming true, and on the other hand, he didn't expect that he hadn't even opened his mouth, He Xin took the initiative to choose himself, which made him feel like a confidant.

"Oh yes, Brother Zheng, this project may not start until the end of next year at the earliest. ”

"I understand, I understand, this is a winter play! And when I said just now that I would help you finish this script, I had already thought about it, and when I got to the Spring Festival next year, I would have to experience life by plane, train, or long-distance bus. ”

Saying that, he was embarrassed to say: "I don't have the experience of the Spring Festival, only if I have experienced it myself, what I write can be authentic and credible." ”

With Xu Guangtou's attitude, He Xin is enough to rest assured.

In fact, he didn't know that after the original version of "People in Embarrassment" was released, although it achieved a good box office, Xu Guangtou still said bluntly in front of the media: "I think there are many things that are not good enough, because I am not a director, so I can't control it." ”

may be precisely this regret and continuation of the story line that directly gave birth to the box office miracle "Thai Embarrassment".

He Xin picked up the teacup and was about to toast the future director with tea instead of wine, when he suddenly remembered and said, "Hey, Brother Zheng, Sister Taohong will be born at the end of the year, do you still have time to experience the Spring Festival?"

"It's okay, it's okay, there are elderly people at home to take care of it......"
