Chapter 440: The Director of the Heavenly Dragon Babu
Wang Xiaohu looked intently at the "Dragon Babu" that he participated in the creation, and the shock and excitement in his heart were indescribable.
After the Spring Festival, he was led by Yi Shuihan and entered his studio, and officially participated in the production of the script "Dragon Babu".
He never thought that Yi Shuihan would have such an amazing talent and be able to come up with such a wonderful script!
At the beginning, he could only follow Lu Cheng to understand the context and main line of the plot, but gradually, with the knowledge he had accumulated over the years, he also put forward a lot of opinions and opinions.
He has an upright temperament, and many times he will quarrel with Lu Cheng because of some details and fragments in the play, but after the quarrel, the two are still the same, and there is no mustard in their hearts.
Lu Cheng and Wang Xiaohu are of the same age, have similar personalities, and are both scholars, so they get along very well.
And the script of "Dragon Babu", after the efforts of the three of them, lasted three months, and was finally completed!
"It's so exciting! This is the real rivers and lakes!" Zheng Liaoyuan put down the script in his hand and muttered with a dull gaze, his whole body was trembling slightly, and he only felt that he was in that magnificent martial arts world at this time, and his mind could not be calm for a long time.
And Wang Xiaohu and Lu Cheng are even more so, as one of the creators, their understanding of the script is far better than Zheng Liaoyuan.
Zheng Liaoyuan saw the magnificent rivers and lakes, the heroes who stood up to the sky, and the ups and downs of fate, but what they thought of was the struggle of human nature and the sinking of ***......
This script is like a famous mountain and valley, what people who come to visit and explore the hidden world see and what they have gained, it depends on everyone's understanding and experience.
But no one can deny that this is a wonderful, shocking and shocking work!
"How, it's not worse than the Immortal Sword!" Yi Shuihan said with a smile.
The effort he spent in this script far exceeded that of Fairy Sword!
The main line of Xianjian is single, mainly moving with emotion, but Tianlong Babu has many characters, many clues, wide scenes, and complex backgrounds......
Although it is only to restore the plot, it also took Yi Shuihan's countless efforts.
Looking at the script in front of him, which is not inferior to the original work, he feels excited and satisfied!
"Definitely better than the fairy sword!"
"Another classic is coming. ”
"I've never seen such a wonderful script......"
……
Zheng Liaoyuan and the others sighed with emotion, looking at Yi Shuihan with complicated eyes.
After Yi Shuihan, they were amazed countless times, but they still couldn't help but be amazed.
At this time, the high-spirited Yi Shuihan is like a tiger lurking in the mountains and forests, eyeing and ready to go!
Zheng Liaoyuan didn't know who else in the field of TV dramas could stop Yi Shuihan from winning again!
It's no wonder that he dared to say that he invested 100 million yuan to shoot this TV series, and only with such talent can he have such ambitions.
"That'...... The director of this TV series continues to let Xu Yongzhi come?" asked Zheng Liaoyuan.
Yi Shuihan shook his head with a smile and said: "Director Xu is a good director, but he may not be suitable for filming this TV series, I already have a better choice for the director, Brother Jie has already helped me hire someone!"
Zheng Liaoyuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "It's a big deal?"
Because of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", Yi Shuihan Studio's reputation in the director industry is not bad, and there are many directors who are willing to direct new dramas, but the director who needs Wang Jie to invite in person is a bit unusual.
Yi Shuihan didn't sell it, he smiled and said, "It's Lin Hongguo!"
"It's him," Zheng Liaoyuan said with a smile when he heard this famous name in the industry, "That's amazing." ”
Lin Hongguo, born in 1961, is a famous director in China, and his representative works include "Broken Knife Gate", "Chivalry", "Juvenile Xing" and many other works.
He has won the Golden Dragon Award, Guizhi Award and other domestic heavyweight awards for the best director many times, and has created one brilliant glory after another in the history of the development of the Chinese TV drama industry, and is the first batch of pioneers in the Chinese TV drama industry.
Since Zheng Liaoyuan has devoted himself to this field, he naturally needs to know about the top people in the industry.
Yi Shuihan invited Lin Hongguo not because of his qualifications and high status, but because of his unique shooting style.
Whether a director is suitable or not plays a decisive role in a TV series, and the same script can give different directors two completely different stories and feelings.
Throughout the TV series he has filmed, he has always provided an unparalleled audio-visual feast for countless audiences with magnificent backgrounds, fascinating storylines, smooth story rhythms, and excellent performances from the actors.
His style is to create a strong story, contradictions and conflicts one after another, climaxes are continuous, and he is best at presenting the chaotic and complex plot clearly and clearly.
And this is exactly what the TV series "Dragon Babu" needs most!
This is the real reason why Yi Shuihan wants to invite him to direct.
In the next few days, Yi Shuihan and others were revising the Tianlong Babu while waiting for news from Wang Jie.
Finally, after several days of communication and hard work by Wang Jie, Lin Hongguo was willing to spare half a day to discuss the script with Yi Shuihan and others to see if there was an opportunity for cooperation.
This is not Lin Hongguo's trust, because he has such capital, and there are many crews who want to be directed by him, so he naturally has a choice.
"Director Lin, please come here!" Wang Jie said with a smile, he had to go back and forth several times before inviting this old guy, I hope it would be good if he didn't work in vain.
Lin Hongguo laughed and said: "Just call me Lao Lin, you Lin Dao Lin still think I'm an official." ”
Wang Jie said complimentingly: "With your old qualifications, it is not a matter of words to want to take up a position, it is not called bad, it is not bad." ”
This is also a big truth, with his status in this field, it will be easy to seek a half-official position in radio and television in the future.
Wang Jie led the way and took Lin Hongguo into the living room, where Yi Shuihan and Zheng Liaoyuan were already waiting.
Seeing Lin Hongguo come in, Yi Shuihan and Zheng Liaoyuan immediately got up to greet each other.
"Your Excellency is coming, welcome!" Zheng Liaoyuan smiled and shook the other party's hand, and then invited him to sit down.
"Let me introduce," Wang Jie said with a smile, "This is Mr. Lin Hongguolin, the predecessor of the famous Chinese director, and this is Mr. Zheng of our studio, who is responsible for the operation of the entire studio." ”
"Hello Mr. Lin, I've admired my name for a long time. Zheng Liaoyuan poured Lin Hongguo a cup of hot tea and handed it over, and said with a smile.
Lin Hongguo said with a smile: "Xiao Wang Liao Zan, what a famous director, it's too exaggerated, I'm just an old man who likes filming, but Mr. Zheng, young and promising." ”
Yi Shuihan has been observing Lin Hongguo since he entered the door, and the first feeling he gives people is kindness.
Chinese face, short hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, even if the hair is a little white, it does not look old, and the smiling face shows people.
Anyone who sees him will think that he is a mild-tempered person.
But the news that Yi Shuihan heard from Chen Feng was that Lin Hongguo was an extremely strong director who was like a tyrant on the set.
These are not derogatory terms for a director, and it is precisely because of this that the TV series he directs have distinct personal traces.
"This is our Yi ......" Wang Jie just wanted to introduce, but was interrupted by Lin Hongguo.
"This one doesn't need to be introduced, Yi Shuihan, I know, my granddaughter liked to watch the fairy sword last year. Lin Hongguo said with a smile, he patted Yi Shuihan's shoulder and said, "The acting skills are good, quite a good young man." ”
Lin Hongguo took over the leadership of the words and continued: "I know several of you young talents, then let's talk about the script next, Xiao Wang, you praised this script to the sky, don't let me down." ”
Yi Shuihan was very powerful, and he unconsciously grasped the initiative of the scene, as if he was the master of this living room, no wonder Chen Feng's evaluation of him was strong and self-ego.
"I won't let you down!" Yi Shuihan took the script of "Dragon Babu" from the table and handed it over respectfully, but his eyes were full of confidence and recklessness.
This made Lin Hongguo a little interested in this script, he may have seen thousands of scripts, but there are very few that can enter his eyes, but the young man in front of him dares to say that he will not disappoint him, he wants to see how good this script is.
If it's just a sparse and ordinary level, don't blame him for not giving face!
He took the script in Yi Shuihan's hand, and the four big characters of "Tianlong Babu" made him stunned for a moment.
Ordinary people may not be able to know the meaning of this Heavenly Dragon Babu, but he knows some of the meaning after a little study of Buddhism.
This is a Buddhist term, and the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragons are all "non-human", including the eight kinds of Shinto monsters, and because the "Heavenly Beings" and "Dragon Beings" are the most important, they are called "Heavenly Dragon Eight Divisions".
The eight divisions include: the One Dharma, the Two Naga, the Three Yakshas, the Four Gandharvas, the Five Asuras, the Six Garudas, the Seven Kinaras, and the Eight Maharajas.
He didn't know why he had chosen such a name.
He settled down and turned the first page of the script: Tsing Yi Lei fell to the dangerous peak.
Yi Shuihan and the others all sat quietly, waiting for Lin Hongguo to read the script, although they were all confident, their hearts were always hanging before they decided to deal with them.
After seeing Lin Hongguo's expression change from surprise to fascination, Yi Shuihan and the others looked at each other and smiled, knowing that they had succeeded halfway.
In fact, Lin Hongguo did not have great expectations for this trip, because he was already negotiating cooperation with Poseidon Entertainment at this time, and he was very satisfied with the other party's script and remuneration, and only the final contract was signed.
He came here for the sake of Wang Jie's face, but he didn't expect the other party to really give him such a big surprise!
When he first saw it, he only thought it was an ordinary martial arts script, even if the writing was brilliant, it was also because of the polishing of the pen, and he cared more about the plot.
But the deeper you go, the more shocking you feel.
So far, he has never seen such a wonderful martial arts script, which makes his heart beat uncontrollably.
This is exactly what he is looking forward to and loves to shoot the most, it is magnificent and magnificent, and the plot structure is so large and complex, with many twists and turns......
The play is not just the story of a human heart and a generation, but the story of many people and many generations.
The story of each protagonist goes back to the previous generation or even generations, which makes the whole show extremely complex and tortuous.
The shadow of history, the injustices and hatred of the fathers, and their mutual fetters and entanglements make people sigh and sigh.
is like Xiao Feng, one of the protagonists, who can't help but feel moved.
He is of Liao descent and was raised by the Han people, he has a clear nature, but he is constantly falling into a gloomy and miserable fog; he longs for innocence, but his misunderstanding is like Mount Tai; he claims to be upright all his life, but he inevitably kills innocents; he kills his biological mother to a person he admires so much; and the big devil who swears to be stabbed is actually his own father.
All of this can only make him miserable and dazed, but he can never get rid of it.
It is in response to that sentence: only great heroes are worthy of great tragedy.
So Xiao Feng's suicide made people tremble so movingly and unconsciously.
In addition to the role of Xiao Feng, the stories of other characters are also very exciting, which makes him unable to let go.
In a blink of an eye, a few hours passed, and Yi Shuihan and the others were still waiting patiently.
Lin Hongguo finally reluctantly put down the script, and his mood was a little complicated.
He didn't expect that the script that the other party came up with was really so shocking and exciting.
"Good script, good script!" he couldn't help but sigh, he hadn't read the script so heartily for a long time.
"Director Lin, it's good that you can see it, I didn't delay you for half a day in vain!" Wang Jie said with a smile, he knew Yi Shuihan's expectations, judging from the current situation, there is still a great opportunity for cooperation.
"This ......" Lin Hongguo was a little embarrassed in his heart, he and Poseidon Entertainment were only close to signing, if he refused temporarily, it would be a little immoral, but if he was asked to give up this script, he was a little unwilling.
When he read this script, he kept thinking about the clips from the play, and now under his own direction, this TV series will be wonderful.
This is bound to go down in history as one of his classic works!
"It may be a little presumptuous, I don't know if you can wait for me for half a year," Lin Hongguo hesitated for ......a moment and then spoke.
Yi Shuihan and the others were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect him to make such a request.
Although they expect Lin Hongguo to direct this TV series, it does not mean that this TV series must be filmed by him.
If it is postponed for a month or two, it is still negotiable, but it is a little too much to postpone it for half a year.
Zheng Liaoyuan and Yi Shuihan glanced at each other, and then said sincerely: "Mr. Lin, of course we are looking forward to you directing this TV series, but now that "Dragon Babu" has been approved, everything is in preparation, but I am afraid that it will not be postponed!"
Lin Hongguo frowned, he knew that the other party had politely rejected him, after all, it was a little unreasonable to wait for half a year for a script that was already being prepared.
But he really likes this script very much, and he is really unwilling to give it up.
He pondered for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "I want to know how much to invest in this TV series?"
He wanted to find a reason for himself to give up, and if such a magnificent and wonderful script shooting wanted to achieve the effect in his heart, he needed at least fifty or sixty million investment, otherwise the effect would be nondescript.
If the investment in this TV series is too small, even if he wants to shoot it, he may not be able to do anything!
Yi Shuihan and Zheng Liaoyuan glanced at each other, happy in their hearts, he knew that the other party was already moved.
"100 million!" Zheng Liaoyuan said seriously: "We are willing to use 100 million to shoot the TV series "Dragon Babu"!"
Lin Hongguo's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked in shock, "How much?"
"100 million!" Yi Shuihan repeated and said: "We hope to make this TV series a classic! We hope that this TV series can create a ratings miracle again! We hope that this TV series will become a classic that no one will forget under your direction!"
Lin Hongguo was silent, he saw the ambition and determination in Yi Shuihan's eyes, the kind of momentum that no one could stop if he was indomitable!
He knew that even if he didn't direct the script, there would be other well-known directors directing it.
It's just that the glory and laurels of this TV series will no longer belong to him at that time.
After being silent for a long time, he finally made a decision!
"Okay, I'll direct this TV series! But I have a request!" Lin Hongguo bit and said.
"You say!" Yi Shuihan and the others suppressed the ecstasy in their hearts, and sat down and asked.
"I want all the power during the filming of this TV series! From the casting, shooting, scenes, and editing of the actors, all aspects are up to me, and I want to write this in the contract, if you breach the contract, I have the right to give up the filming and ask for compensation!" At this time, Lin Hongguo was sharp, like a king of the forest, showing his sharp fangs.
This is probably the most real him, to say it! Sharp and strong!
Yi Shuihan and the others all frowned, if this was the case, they would lose all their right to speak.
They have no other way than to trust Lin Hongguo's ability and character.
However, since Yi Shuihan asked him to direct, he was also mentally prepared.
After discussing with Zheng Liaoyuan and Wang Jie for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, we trust Director Lin's ability very much, so we will do as you say!"
Lin Hongguo glanced at Yi Shuihan and asked with a smile: "I'm talking about everything, including the casting of actors, I take the liberty of asking, Xiaohan, what role do you want to play in the play?"
Before he came, he had a general understanding and knew that Yi Shuihan's studio had a movie that was being shot at this time.
But since Yi Shuihan did not appear in it, he is bound to want to play a leading role in this TV series.
He pondered for a moment and said, "The role I want to play is Qiao Feng!"
This was a decision he had been thinking about for a long time, and he liked the role so much that he was unwilling to give it up.
Lin Hongguo said loudly: "What if I don't think it's suitable? Do you still want me to direct this TV series?"
Yi Shuihan, Wang Jie, and Zheng Liaoyuan were all stunned all at once......
The 5,000-word chapter is gone today, and it will continue tomorrow.
The bland plot is about to pass, thank you friends for your continued support~
