Chapter 207: Two Scripts
Just when Lu Yang accompanied Cheng Hua outside the classroom of the 04th tourism class to see Wang Yue, in Beijing Quanjude, two young people in their twenties were eating roast duck and drinking liquor.
One of them is tall and thin, and his clothes don't look like famous brands, but the texture and workmanship are very elegant, low-key luxury, he is Wang Lin, and the user name at the starting point is Necromancer, that's right, he is Lu Yang's first die-hard fan.
The other young man was somewhat horizontally, not tall, but broad and fat, with hair half long and not short, a little greasy and a little curly, and a young man, with a beard and a pair of thick glasses.
The two of them looked dressed and didn't seem to be sitting together to drink, but the atmosphere at the table was very casual, and they were obviously not friends for a day or two.
After the two clinked glasses again, Wang Lin put a few slices of roast duck meat in his mouth and chewed them, and said while chewing: "Frog!
The fat man who was called the frog was named Dai Qingwa, and I don't know how his father came up with this name in the first place, after going to school, whether he was thin or fat, everyone gave him the nickname "frog".
Dai Qingwa nodded, wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Isn't this what this line of work is? If you don't have enough qualifications, who would dare to invest in you? Unless I go to shoot commercials or MTV for people, I can only continue to be an assistant director! You kid is rich, do you dare to invest in me?"
Saying that, Dai Qingwa smiled to himself, he and Wang Lin have been classmates since junior high school, his grades have always been better than Wang Lin, and he studied Beiying in college. Wang Lin also studied Beiying, he was in the directing department, and Wang Lin studied photography. But Wang Lin, who is very wealthy, studied photography at all, not to eat the bowl of movies at all, just to entertain himself, first to shoot beautiful women, and then to shoot natural landscapes, in the past two years, he has no interest in even taking pictures of natural landscapes. Some time ago, I even joined the family company, and I have nothing to do with movies at all.
In the past, when I had just graduated from college, several guys invested in making movies on their own. At that time, Wang Lin was very interested, but after discussing it with his family phone, he changed his tune, saying that he had no money to invest.
So. Just now, Dai Qingwa talked about letting Wang Lin invest. I laughed myself.
However, to his surprise, Wang Lin did not laugh at this topic.
"Frog, tell me the truth! If I really invest, are you sure you'll be able to make a good movie?"
Dai Qingwa was sandwiching roast duck meat, and when he heard Wang Lin's words, he didn't react at first, so he stuffed a few slices of roast duck meat into his mouth. As soon as he raised his head, he suddenly noticed the serious look on Wang Lin's face.
"What's that look on your face? Do you really want to invest in movies?"
A few slices of duck meat just stopped at the edge of the mouth. Dai Qingwa's heart moved, and when he realized something, the heart in his fat chest, which had been steady, suddenly accelerated and thumped.
Who is willing to be an assistant director year after year? Dai Qingwa, like many graduates of the directing department, is very confident in his talent, but the reality presses them, and they can only work hard to get seniority little by little.
Facing Dai Qingwa's puzzled gaze, Wang Lin nodded and said, " When I graduated, my own money was not enough to invest in a movie, and I asked my family for money, and my family heard that we were going to make our own movies just after graduation, thinking that we were too impulsive, and the probability of failure was very high, so they refused to invest in us, and now we have graduated for a few years, you and the mouse must have made great progress in their skills, and I now have millions of dollars on hand, if you are really sure to make a good movie, I will sell my Land Rover, and then think of some other way, but, frog! We have been brothers for many years, are you sure or not, you have to tell me the truth! Don't pit your brother into eating chaff!"
Dai Qingwa stuffed a few pieces of duck meat on the chopsticks into his mouth, chewed it, nodded solemnly, and said: "Technically, I make a small-budget movie, there must be no problem, I have written two scripts myself in the past two years, if you are really willing to invest, after eating this meal, you come with me to my place of residence, and I will show it to you! One is an urban emotional theme, the other is a psychological horror film, you have read the script and then decide?"
Wang Lin nodded and said, "Don't eat it!
Dai Qingwa: "Okay!
With that, the two took their bags and coats out of Quanjude, sat on Wang Lin's Land Rover, and went straight to Dai Qingwa's current residence, a two-bedroom apartment shared with others.
When Wang Lin and Dai Qingwa entered the house, the other person who shared the house was not there, and after Dai Qingwa entered the door, he went straight to his bedroom, and took out two copies of the script from the bedside table.
Dai Qingwa: "This is urban emotional, this is psychologically terrifying!"
Two printed scripts were handed to Wang Lin, Wang Lin opened the first one first, called "Office Romance", Wang Lin read the script in less than 20 minutes.
The content of the script is a love story of three men and two women in an advertising company in Beijing, three men, one is the boss of the company, one is the first handsome guy in the company, and the last one is a designer in charge of advertising design, talented, taciturn, and an honest man.
Two women, one is the boss's girlfriend, the other is the new advertising company's mellow girl, this mellow girl is the heroine of the story, very mellow and beautiful, the first day of the interview, I was fascinated by the boss, and the first day of entering the company made the first handsome guy and the first designer excited.
The back is the emotional entanglement between three men and two women.
Dai Qingwa's scripts that have been prepared for several years are still good in quality.
Wang Lin nodded, and went to read the second script.
The name of this psychological horror film is "Midnight Cry".
Wang Lin continued to flip through the pages one by one.
The general content of the story is that a middle school has an old boys' dormitory building, there is a patio above the corridor outside the toilet on the fifth floor, and there are several dormitories next to the toilets, and when a dozen boys moved here on the first day, at about two o'clock in the morning, several boys heard the cry of a young woman under the patio outside the door, and several boys were terrified. No one dared to go out and see what was going on.
After dawn the next day, everyone was talking to each other in a panic, and at noon a boy who had heard the rumors moved out of the dormitory. The rest of the people inquired with the boy, only to learn from the boy that it turned out that outside the toilet door, in the patio above the corridor, there was a lovelorn girl a few years ago, who hanged herself here at night, and the woman cried in the early hours of last night. It could well be the ghost of that woman.
As soon as he said that, everyone's hairs stood on end.
Others scoffed at it and thought it was all nonsense. But there were also a few boys who did hear the woman's cry last night, and inquired about the rumor in various parts of the school in the afternoon and evening.
As a result, I learned that this rumor had been circulating in private for several years, and it was said that the girl who hanged herself under the patio was the daughter of the previous aunt of the dormitory manager. Usually at night, she sleeps with her mother in the management office under the boys' dormitory. fell in love with a boy in this dormitory building, because both of them lived in the boys' dormitory building at night, and secretly tasted the forbidden fruit, the girl was pregnant, but the boy did not dare to take responsibility, but broke up with the girl, and the girl couldn't withstand the pressure alone, so she hanged herself under the patio outside the door of the boys' dormitory.
……
I haven't finished the whole script yet. Wang Lin's heart was furious, and he waited until he finished reading the entire script. Wang Lin's first question was to ask Dai Qingwa: "Frog, did you make up this story yourself? Or did you hear it from? Why does it look so pervasive! It's like the real thing!"
Wang Lin's reaction made Dai Qingwa very satisfied, with a smile on his face, and said: "You don't care if my story is true or not, just say how about these two scripts? Which one do you think is suitable for investment?"
Wang Lin looked at the two scripts in his hand, thought for a while, and said: "The first one! The horror film market is too narrow! It is also more difficult to create an atmosphere, and it is more safe! However, I want to show this script to someone to see if he can help us revise it a little more exciting!"
Wang Lin's first two sentences also made Dai Qingwa very happy, Wang Lin agreed to invest, but later said that he would give it to others to modify, and Dai Qingwa was a little unhappy.
Frowning, he asked, "Lin Zi, who do you want to revise? Which big director is it?"
If it is really a big director, Dai Qingwa has nothing to say.
Wang Lin shook his head and said, "No! It's an online author! It's wonderful to write a novel!"
"What? You asked an online writer who writes fast food texts to revise my script? Lin Zi! You're too nonsense, aren't you? Isn't my professionalism as good as a fast food writer? You're insulting me!"
Hearing that it was for an online writer to revise his script, Dai Qingwa immediately blackened his face and looked unhappy.
What is written by the online author, he is also a young man, and he has read two books in the first two years, what is the quality, he knows it in his heart, and he thinks that his script is much more wonderful than those online novels.
Wang Lin patted Dai Qingwa on the shoulder and explained: "Frog! Don't overturn a boatload of people with a stick! That online author is very famous, and the starting point has just recently launched five platinum authors, have you heard of it? That author is one of those five platinum authors! It can be said that he is the top author in the online novel industry, and people may not necessarily revise the script for us! You are the first to oppose it here!"
Starting point, Dai Qingwa knows that Dai Qingwa has not heard of the five platinum authors, but Wang Lin is very serious, not like he is deceiving him, the top author in the online novel industry?
Sounds like a great deal.
Invest or not, it's all up to Wang Lin to make the idea, Dai Qingwa thought about it, and finally reluctantly nodded and agreed, and made up his mind that if the online author revised it was not as good as his original script, then he couldn't say anything and shoot according to what he modified.
Seeing that he finally nodded, Wang Lin smiled, raised the script in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Frog! Is the script saved on the computer? If so, send a copy to my mailbox, and I'll send it to the author with the mailbox later! ”
Dai Qingwa glanced at him, and he was still a little unhappy in his heart, but since he had agreed, he still went over to start his notebook and sent a copy of the script of "Office Romance" to Wang Lin.
"Alright!
Throwing down the two scripts, Wang Lin took his leave. (To be continued......)
