Chapter 667: The Woman Sings and the Husband Follows
Lin Xiaoguang wiped his hands with the paper, and took a look at it, on the cover of the book, there were two big words "Hong Kong" written on it.
Lin Xiaoguang frowned, took a general look at the script, and had to admit that the quality of the script was really average.
may be because Xu Zheng wants to say too many things this time, which makes the entire script of "Hong Kong" look a little messy, unclear, and not very funny, which is the most deadly.
Xu Zheng paused, plucked up his courage and said, "Xiaoguang, there is something I have always wanted to ask for your opinion. ”
Lin Xiaoguang flipped through the script and said angrily: "If you have something to say, let it go quickly, don't beat around the bush with me." ”
"Okay, then I said, I want to be the director and producer of the movie "Hong Kong", is that okay?"
Lin Xiaoguang was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he began to ponder while smoking a cigarette, although the script of "Hong Kong Embarrassment" is not well written, if it really starts filming, it is very easy to make a lot of money.
As long as you can make money, even if the movie "Hong Kong" is smashed, it doesn't matter what Lin Xiaoguang does, it just happens to be able to explain to the outside world that he is the soul of the embarrassment series, and how big the gap between Xu Zheng and him is.
What's more, Lin Xiaoguang has not had better ideas and ideas in recent years, so he has not started filming the sequel to "Thai Embarrassment".
In addition, Lin Xiaoguang is now preparing to create the big IP universe of "Detective Chinatown", and he has no extra time and energy to complete the operation of the movie "Hong Kong".
And Xu Zheng also set up a Zhenle Dao Film and Television Company some time ago, intending to break out of his own world in the film industry with the movie "Hong Kong".
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoguang said briskly: "Okay, Lao Xu, you can shoot if you want, but for the movie "Hong Kong", our light and shadow company, must account for at least 15% of the investment share. ”
Xu Zheng thought about it, after all, Lin Xiaoguang is the founder of the "Embarrassment Series" movie, and his request is really not too much.
Moreover, Lin Xiaoguang is not greedy, he knows very well that as long as the movie "Hong Kong" begins to announce preparations to the outside world, there will definitely be a large number of film and television companies who want to come over and get a piece of the pie.
The 15% investment share is really not low for Lin Xiaoguang's light and shadow company, even if it is diluted to 10% of the share, as long as the movie is released as scheduled, he can make a lot of money.
"Xiaoguang, this is no problem, I can promise you. ”
Hearing Xu Zheng's answer, Lin Xiaoguang extinguished the cigarette butt on the ashtray and said faintly: "Old Xu, don't be happy too early, I haven't finished my words yet." ”
Xu Zheng was not ambiguous, and said busily: "Then you continue." ”
Lin Xiaoguang said "um", and said: "The choice of the heroine of this movie is up to me." ”
has cooperated so many times, Lin Xiaoguang's vision of selecting people, Xu Zheng still trusts him very much.
Xu Zheng didn't hesitate too much, and agreed to this request: "Okay, no problem, I promise you, but can you tell me first, who are you going to choose as the heroine?"
Lin Xiaoguang smiled and pretended to be mysterious: "Don't worry about this, I'll let you know when the time comes." ”
"Okay. Xu Zheng nodded and asked, "Do you have any other requirements?"
"Not for the time being, I'll discuss it with you when I think about it. ”
"Okay, that's it. ”
Seeing that Lin Xiaoguang was still looking at the script, Xu Zheng asked him expectantly: "Xiaoguang, what do you think of the script I wrote?"
Lin Xiaoguang shook his head, lit a cigarette, and said bluntly: "It's not good." ”
Xu Zheng asked suspiciously: "Really, which aspect is not well written?"
Lin Xiaoguang spat out the smoke ring, slowed down, and said with a straight face: "Lao Xu, it's hard for me to say what you wrote badly, because your script seems to be a little too divided." ”
Xu Zheng looked at Lin Xiaoguang puzzled: "Split?"
Lin Xiaoguang nodded and said calmly: "Yes, your script, the first feeling I have is split." ”
"To be honest, from my own point of view, there is really something wrong with your script. ”
After listening to Lin Xiaoguang's evaluation, Xu Zheng was also a little worried, so he asked Lin Xiaoguang: "Xiaoguang, can you tell me anything specifically?"
Lin Xiaoguang nodded, and said: "First of all, the popularity of the movie "Thai Embarrassment" is too high, after all of us know "Thai Embarrassment", there will be a movie, and we are all waiting for what this movie will look like, and the expectations are bursting." ”
"Also, the "Thai Embarrassment" we filmed before, to put it bluntly, it is a road movie, a very pure comedy, it seems to be so likable by nature, and everyone likes "Thai Embarrassment". ”
But the "Hong Kong Embarrassment" you wrote, it doesn't look like a pure comedy, giving people a feeling of hot pot stew, and it doesn't echo the theme of the "Embarrassment Series". ”
In fact, what Lin Xiaoguang said is what Xu Zheng is most worried about, when he wrote "Hong Kong", if it is said that as a creator and a director, Xu Zheng very much hopes to have a little breakthrough, and it is best to surpass Lin Xiaoguang's previous "Thai Embarrassment" and "People in Embarrassment".
But at the same time, Xu Zheng also plans to take on another role, that is, the producer of this play, and he also hopes to achieve certain results commercially and be accepted by every audience.
Therefore, there is a very mixed identity in Xu Zheng, that is, Xu Zheng is not only a producer, but also a director, screenwriter and actor, as a producer, he especially hopes that he can achieve a success in the market, and as a director, he hopes to usher in something.
Therefore, when Xu Zheng was halfway through his creation, when Xu Zheng set a theme in the script to go on a date with his first love, Xu Zheng very much hoped that the unfinished dream, the complex, and the embarrassing problem in his heart could be implanted into the script, and then added a lot of Hong Kong classic songs, hoping to form a feeling.
In this way, the script of "Hong Kong" was split, so when Lin Xiaoguang read the script, he also felt that Xu Zheng seemed to have made two scripts.
For example, when Xu Zheng's character was chasing and fighting with supporting characters in Hong Kong, it seemed to be a highway and action story, and when he was dating in Shanghai, it seemed to have become a youth nostalgia plot.
Therefore, when Lin Xiaoguang read the script from beginning to end, he felt that a split had formed.
This kind of split, first, for the audience who originally liked "Thai Embarrassment" and wanted to watch this type of treasure play, what he wanted was A, and the other part was looking forward to B, so I think the part in front of you is redundant.
Because of Xu Zheng's mixed identity and such a mixed creative mentality, the script of "Hong Kong" has become what it is now.
Although Lin Xiaoguang is a film director this time, not a producer, but only cooperates with Xu Xu Zheng as an investor, he still gave Xu Zheng's script suggestions from the perspective of the creator.
In the afternoon, when Li Xiaoran and Taohong finished shopping and returned home.
Lin Xiaoguang was reading the script of "The Pretender" in the study, and when Li Xiaoran saw it, he asked him curiously: "Husband, are you planning to make a TV series again?"
Lin Xiaoguang nodded and said casually: "Yes, I feel that the quality of this script is very good, and it should be popular." ”
Li Xiaoran asked expectantly, "That'...... Do you see a role for me?"
Lin Xiaoguang muttered: "Yes, yes, but this TV series is a big male lead drama, and the space for actresses to play is relatively small." ”
Hearing Lin Xiaoguang say this, Li Xiaoran was a little disappointed, and sighed: "Husband, don't make excuses, I know you don't want me to continue acting." ”
What Li Xiaoran said is indeed Lin Xiaoguang's inner thoughts, but he mainly hopes that Li Xiaoran can teach his husband and children at home, otherwise, if the couple go out to film, there will be no one to educate their sons and daughters.
Lin Xiaoguang hugged Li Xiaoran in his arms and comforted: "Wife, don't worry, what's the point of playing a small role in a TV series, don't worry, as long as there is a good script, I will definitely give you the whole blockbuster." ”
Li Xiaoran sighed, pouted, turned his face to the side, and said disapprerovingly: "Forget it, you say this every time, which time has you cashed it out?"
Lin Xiaoguang is also very guilty about Li Xiaoran's accountability, he knows that women can't always rely on coaxing, and they must have substantive actions to make her satisfied.
So, Lin Xiaoguang patted his chest and swore to Li Xiaoran: "Wife, I promise you today that within two years at the latest, I will definitely invest in a big movie for you." ”
Li Xiaoran looked at Lin Xiaoguang suspiciously: "Really? You really didn't lie to me this time?"
"Really, I promise Chairman Cat!
Looking at Lin Xiaoguang's comical expression of fear, Li Xiaoran said with a smile: "Husband, then I said it in advance, when the time comes, I will play the female number one, you will play the male number one, and the two of us will sing with the husband and wife, and be a pair of imitation couples on the big screen!"
Regarding Li Xiaoran's proposal, Lin Xiaoguang hesitated a little, and said hesitantly: "Eh...... Well...... this."
Li Xiaoran glanced at Lin Xiaoguang and said angrily: "Are you embarrassed? I have appointed you to play the male number one, what are you not satisfied with?"
Lin Xiaoguang hurriedly reassured: "Wife, don't get me wrong, I'm not dissatisfied with your arrangement, I'm not afraid that I will behave badly and drag your old man back?"
