Chapter 959: Xu Zhengqiang
Yi Shuihan took Lu Cheng and pushed open the door of the living room, where a bald man in his forties was sitting.
"Director Xu, I've been waiting for a long time!" Yi Shuihan stepped forward and said happily.
Xu Zhengqiang got up to greet him, held the hand handed over by Yi Shuihan and said with a smile: "Soon, I just arrived." ”
"You can take a seat! This is Lao Lu, the head of our screenwriting department. Yi Shuihan introduced Lu Cheng, and then the three of them sat down.
Bald head, quite happy eyebrows, slightly thin figure, his appearance is not good, but no one in the film industry will ignore this bald man.
This is the first time Yi Shuihan has seen Xu Zhengqiang, but he has already heard of him.
Xu Zhengqiang was born in an acting class and has superb acting skills, but he has not been given any good opportunities because of his ordinary appearance.
Fortunately, his appearance was quite joyful, and he entered the comedy industry in desperation, but he didn't expect that he was talented in this field and soon became a great fame.
After more than ten years, he became a giant in the comedian industry, loved by the audience, and also quite prestigious in the industry.
Gradually, he was not satisfied with being an actor, and with his experience and experience in the comedy industry, he began to try to be a comedy director himself.
To say that he is also a genius in the field of comedy, six years ago, he self-filmed, directed and acted in "Watching the Dragon Fly", which exceeded one billion yuan at the box office after 22 days of release.
In the end, the box office reached 1.3 billion yuan, and the number of moviegoers exceeded 40 million, setting a record for the number of moviegoers in the history of Chinese film that year, and also becoming the first Chinese-language film in film history to exceed 1 billion at the box office, and won the Outstanding Young Director Award at the 15th Huabiao Awards.
Therefore, he has become a very important Mesozoic director in the mainland film industry in one fell swoop!
The box office of 1.3 billion is nothing at this time, but it is already a jaw-dropping achievement in six years.
In the following years, Xu Zhengqiang continued to direct, and even achieved great results, and also formed his own unique directing style.
The reason why his works have won so much attention and recognition is that in addition to his innate comedic talent, his accurate positioning of his films and his accurate grasp of the audience's psychology are also important factors in his success.
Unlike other comedy directors' works, his comedy films never use the same old routines, but always explore and change.
This is also where Yi Shuihan values director Xu Zhengqiang the most, he doesn't want a movie that could have become a classic to be made into a cliché work.
"It's been hard work to come from afar, I've heard of your name for a long time, and I'm fortunate to finally be able to meet you today!" Yi Shuihan said with a laugh.
Xu Zhengqiang's eyebrows were curved, looking particularly festive, and he said with a smile: "What is there to look good about an old man, I heard that your studio is going to make a comedy, where can I sit still!"
Xu Zhengqiang naturally does not treat Yi Shuihan as an ordinary actor, but just invests in starring in an Infernal Affairs series, and Yi Shuihan's status in the industry is already very important.
"You're welcome, in the field of comedy, compared to you, we're just toddlers, and I hope we're lucky enough to have your guidance this time. Yi Shuihan said with a smile.
He is a pun, both a director and a director.
Xu Zhengqiang was also very useful for Yi Shuihan's praise, and the two of them praised each other for a while before getting to the point.
"This is a script created by our screenwriting department, please correct it. Yi Shuihan was very polite, even if he thought that the script of this comedy movie was more than enough to call it a high-quality product.
Xu Zhengqiang doesn't have much confidence in this, he has been involved in this field for many years, and naturally knows how difficult it is to create good comedy works.
As far as he is concerned, after a few years of creation, he has exhausted his thoughts and cannot create works that he is satisfied with.
And other people's comedy scripts are even more unsightly in his opinion.
He doesn't want to compromise and ruin his reputation, so he has no drama to shoot now.
The reason why he came to contact Yi Shuihan was that he happened to be free during this time, and the other reason was that he also wanted to get acquainted with Yi Shuihan, after all, the other party was in the industry that has become famous in recent years, and maybe he could be found to cooperate and invest in the future!
As for reading the script, it's just incidental, he doesn't think the other party can create any excellent comedy movie scripts, even if there are already Infernal Affairs series works.
Comedy movies are different from the scripts of other films, and he didn't have much hope, especially after seeing the title of "Kung Fu".
"Please!" Yi Shuihan said with a smile.
Xu Zhengqiang nodded and opened the script.
Since it was for the director, Yi Shuihan naturally used a storyboard script, but it was not so detailed.
The camera moves, the sign is printed with "Inspector Chen", and a group of police officers are staring blankly in one direction, the sound of collision is heard in the background, and the camera turns to the plaque "Crime Buster".
Suddenly, a policeman was thrown into the air, knocking the plaque and slamming it to the ground.
Crocodile Gang Boss: Who else?
In the face of the Crocodile Gang, all the police officers showed frightened expressions.
Crocodile Gang Boss: Such a beautiful woman just spat on the ground. (The camera turns to the crocodile gang leader's wife and then turns to the crocodile gang boss again) You guys caught you here? Is there still a royal law?
The camera pans to police officer A, who is lying on the ground with a blue nose and swollen face, and the crocodile gang boss is walking leisurely.
Crocodile Gang Boss: You directors have to give us the crocodile gang face, or he won't be the director!
The camera pans to the policeman who had just been thrown onto a plaque and then fell to the ground and fainted.
Police Officer A: I'm sorry, I didn't know she was your wife.
The crocodile gang boss spits on police officer A, and police officer A instinctively dodges it.
……”
Xu Zhengqiang didn't care too much about it, but he didn't expect that the first shot of this script would attract all his attention.
This script ...... It seems that there are too many differences from the comedy scripts he has seen before, the picture is extremely strong and more vivid!
And vaguely, there seems to be something in the script that he has been pursuing and exploring!
Seeing Xu Zhengqiang go from being careless to putting all his thoughts into the script, Yi Shuihan and Lu Cheng looked at each other and smiled.
Lu Cheng inevitably felt a little proud in his heart, even a comedy star like Xu Zhengqiang was attracted by the scripts they created, isn't this the biggest recognition!
You must know that after Yi Shuihan's guidance, this script seems to have been revised more than 20 times, and finally Yi Shuihan is satisfied.
It can be said that Lu Cheng and others have put too much effort into this script.
At this time, the script can be recognized, which is the happiest thing for him.
During this period, Fan Xiaobei also did his best, but he was the person who contributed the most to this script among all the screenwriters except Lu Cheng, which made Lu Cheng quite pleased.
Seeing that Xu Zhengqiang couldn't finish watching for a while, Yi Shuihan and Lu Cheng also got up gently and left the living room.
In the silent living room, only the sound of Xu Chengqiang's breathing and the sound of flipping the script remained.
