Volume 2: Rebuke Fang Xuan Chapter 131: Solicitation
Liu Wenliang came here through the Tencent map, went upstairs, and as soon as he entered the door, he found Meng Zuo and Tomokazu Yamamoto standing to greet him.
"Oops, you're here, welcome. Meng Zuo and Yamamoto walked forward at the same time, and the two of them held his two hands, which immediately made him a little at a loss.
"Ah, hello. Liu Wenliang said embarrassedly.
He is not a young man in his twenties or thirties like Xiang Mengzuo and Yamamoto, he is already fifty-one, and the only thing that is the same as the two of them is probably the so-called playfulness.
"You're Tomokazu Yamamoto, aren't you? Liu Wenliang looked at Tomokazu Yamamoto, who was in his thirties and had a strong figure, and thought to himself that he was not an ordinary person just by looking at his temperament.
"It's me, it's me. "Tomokazu Yamamoto is very polite, and he respects the older generation of artists.
"Then you are Meng Zuo, our Star Pavilion backstage will play your song every day. Liu Wenliang said with a smile.
"Hahaha, it's me who I am, just call me Xiao Meng, I'm your top super fan! I've heard almost all the cross talk between you and Mr. Li Dehua. When Meng Zuo heard Liu Wenliang's praise, he was a little shy.
Meng Zuo is not lying, because in his original world, he liked the praise of a famous cross talk performance artist very much, and it just so happened that person was also called the queen of cross talk.
"Okay, well, then I'm not welcome. Liu Wenliang's smile has always been so kind, although his wrinkles are very deep, a bit like a Shar Pei, but it does not affect the warmth and relaxation in his smile, and does not give people the slightest sense of oppression.
Even if he is the queen of cross talk, even if he is an older cross talk artist, even if he is a master, he does not overwhelm people with power.
Of course, it is also because the status of these two people in front of him will not be much worse than him, and Tomokazu Yamamoto's status abroad must be far greater than his, as for Meng Zuo......
Bully the old, don't bully the young.
Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people to be poor.
Besides, Meng Zuo is already quite successful now.
"Come, sit down, let's talk about the script. ”
The three of them sat down in turn, Meng Zuo handed the script that had been prepared long ago to Liu Wenliang, and then poured a cup of tea for both him and Yamamoto in a hurry, and was extremely courteous.
"You read it first, and then you can read it. ”
Meng Zuo also deliberately marked all the lines belonging to Liu Wenliang in the script with a special color pen last night, very attentive and meticulous.
Of course, Liu Wenliang, who has lived in the rivers and lakes for many years, will definitely not let himself be arrogant because of Meng Zuo's hospitality, he just feels that the child in front of him is indeed different from ordinary people, he is more polite and has eyesight.
Before coming, Liu Wenliang also learned about these two and discovered some very mysterious things.
Tomokazu Yamamoto, a Japanese, a famous director, has been working as a director in Europe and the United States before, and has repeatedly rejected Hollywood's gracious invitations, and his strength is undoubted.
Meng Zuo, this person is amazing.
Originally, Tomokazu Yamamoto thought that it was just a singer, but after checking, he found that something was wrong.
What's wrong?
This man can actually write books and children's stories, and he writes quite well.
For example, what is Sleeping Beauty, Tortoise and Hare Race, these stories have just been released and have been regarded as classics. All from Meng Zuo's own hand.
It's terrifying, right?
However, what is even more terrifying is that he can actually tell books!
Recently, the popular "Tomb Robbery Notes" on the Internet is actually what he said!
Not only did he say it, but he wrote it!
Write and talk by yourself, and do all the one-stop work.
Wizard!
This is definitely a world-class genius.
And the most shocking thing for Liu Wenliang was that at the moment when he just got the script, he found out that the screenwriter's name was actually Meng Zuo!
"You wrote this script?" asked Liu Wenliang.
"Uh-huh, I wrote it. Meng Zuo nodded, he knew that Liu Wenliang would react like this, but he was also very nervous, I don't know if Liu Wenliang is a little skeptical about the quality of this movie now.
After all, I never wrote a screenplay.
"Heroes come out of teenagers, if the young people of today are like you, sooner or later our older generation will be photographed on the beach. Liu Wenliang laughed, and then read the script with all his attention.
He is not the kind of superficial person, he is a Nortel graduate, and he will only judge the quality of a script, and will not point fingers by the age of the person who wrote the script.
Everything is fake, the script is real.
However, Meng Zuo actually knew how to write a script, which really surprised Liu Wenliang for a while.
"Whew!" Meng Zuo breathed a sigh of relief.
What he was most worried about didn't happen, if Liu Wenliang saw that he dared to write a script at his age, he felt that he was playing with himself and rolled his ass and left, but the gain outweighed the loss.
Luckily, that didn't happen.
It seems that Mr. Liu Wenliang is a person who only looks at quality and not people.
......
Half an hour later.
"This script ......" Liu Wenliang put down the script and muttered for a long time.
Meng Zuo and Tomokazu Yamamoto held their breath and waited for Liu Wenliang's reply.
Although both Meng Zuo himself and Tomokazu Yamamoto, who has read the script, think that the script is absolutely very good, but everyone has their own advantages, what if Liu Wenliang doesn't like this kind of patriotic and bloody war-themed movies?
Meng Zuo doesn't know Liu Wenliang well enough, so it's impossible to say.
"Okay! It's so well written!" Liu Wenliang exclaimed excitedly, making the other two breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'm afraid that few people in China can write such a script. Liu Wenliang said pertinently, "But it's ......"
As soon as this came out, it suddenly made Meng Zuo and Tomokazu Yamamoto nervous.
"I believe in Mr. Yamamoto's directing skills, and I also appreciate the script of this drama, and I am also very satisfied with the part of my acting, but it seems that the war scenes and some details in it will definitely require no less money, I wonder if the budget for the two of them to make a movie is enough?"
"Hahaha, what did I think you were going to say? We are now tentatively staffed, the team is tentative, the special effects team is tentative, everything is tentative, except for one thing that is not tentative. Meng Zuo said.
Why hasn't Tomokazu Yamamoto said a few words for so long?
Because of his limited Chinese level, although the words he said can be understood, his accent is still too lame, and since Meng Zuo took the initiative to undertake the task of negotiation, there is no need for him Yamamoto to rush to talk to Master Liu Wenliang.
"Oh? You mean to say, you have a lot of budget now? Can I ask, how much is a lot? 50 million, 80 million?" Liu Wenliang is quite familiar with the film industry, he just looked at the script roughly, and felt that to shoot this scene, at least 80 million.
"nonono!" Unexpectedly, Meng Zuo actually shook his head, "Master Liu Wenliang, you are a graduate of Nortel, or the queen of cross talk, you should open your eyes a little." ”
"100 million? Then I'll be relieved. Liu Wenliang smiled, and found that the potential of this young man was indeed extraordinary.
Unexpectedly, Meng Zuo actually stretched out two fingers.
"What do you mean?" Liu Wenliang frowned, and the wrinkles deepened.
"Two hundred million, we have a budget of two hundred million. Meng Zuo smiled confidently and calmly.
If you have money, you are cool!
......
Three hours later, in the afternoon.
"You've got an actor now, or a supporting role. Tomokazu Yamamoto complained.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yamamoto, I don't want to use too much famous little fresh meat in this play. Meng Zuo said.
"Well, I understand, this kind of drama is really not suitable for Xiao Xianrou to act, what we need is an old drama bone, but where to find it?"
"You just came to China, and it's hard to find people in China, but in Europe and the United States, you should know a lot of excellent actors, right?" Meng Zuo didn't answer him immediately, but asked rhetorically.
"Definitely. Tomokazu Yamamoto nodded.
"I need you to do me a favor. Meng Zuo said in a low voice.
"What's the hurry?" ”
"Help me find this person, if you know him. Meng Zuo picked up his phone and showed it to Tomokazu Yamamoto.
Yamamoto was taken aback.
"This person, it's not good to please. ”
"I know it's not good, but if it can be done, that's the best, we still have a planB. Meng Zuo said with a grin.
"Okay, I'll do my best, then the other characters ......"
"Don't worry, I've asked some people to help me find actors today. ”
"Oh, then I'll go abroad to invite him in person in the next two days, and I'll wait for your good news here." ”
"Rest assured. ”
