150. There is a fish on the bait
The two chatted for more than half an hour, basically Zhao Yayi was saying that Tang Shuang was responsible for listening and responding from time to time.
Unexpectedly, the shy little girl was suspected of chattering.
In fact, Zhao Yayi is not a person who talks a lot, but a girl in the pink fantasy of love, eager to put her heart into the person in front of her, share everything she has, and expect the other party to treat her the same.
Just as Zhao Yayi was talking about interesting things in high school, the mobile phone on Tang Shuang's desk vibrate, and a strange call came.
Tang Shuang left apologetically, came to a place where no one was there to connect, and hung up after listening to a sentence, it was a harassing phone call, and the excuse was too clumsy.
However, before waiting for two seconds, this person called again, and Tang Shuang took a look at it and pressed it directly.
didn't wait two seconds, the other party came again, Tang Shuang thought about it, connected, and took the lead and said: "You said you are Zhang Fei?
The person on the other end of the phone who claimed to be director Zhang Fei said: "I am attending a film festival in Guangdong, I have seen your "Hero", I am very interested, if we have time, we can meet and talk now......
This is a very strong voice, the other party's tone is very imposing, unless it is specially trained, it should be cultivated in a high position for a long time, Tang Shuang listened to the other party's words, and believed it a little in his heart.
At this time, a text message popped up on the mobile phone, which was sent by Li Haonan.
It turned out that Zhang Fei was the first to contact Starry Sky Culture, and got Tang Shuang's phone number from them. Li Haonan got the news as soon as possible, and he couldn't help himself with excitement, that was the great director Zhang Fei!
In order to prepare Tang Shuang, Li Haonan immediately wanted to call him to tell him, but the phone was busy, so he sent a text message, briefly said it, and then called back.
Tang Shuang was stunned, it was really Zhang Fei?!
Zhang Fei is one of the best directors in China, has made many good movies, and has a very high status in the Chinese film and television industry.
He knows the charm of "Hero", not so much that this is a novel, but that the script is more appropriate, and the novel has a strong sense of picture, just like a scene, which is better adapted than "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Ping's Tracer Film".
Tang Shuang's real purpose in choosing this novel was its film and television adaptation rights, which is short, valuable, and quick to cash out, which perfectly meets the requirements of patients with advanced lazy cancer.
He threw "Hero" out like an angler throwing bait and the willing person took the bait.
Such a delicious bait, don't worry about not being hooked. With the "Hero" novel being rolled out and sold across the country, the situation is on fire, and it has been proven to all potential big fish that this novel has market competitiveness, has withstood the test of the market, and there is no need to worry about indigestion.
If Zhang Fei shoots "Hero", in terms of popularity and influence, there is no better than him, but Tang Shuang also has doubts, that is, Zhang Fei has never made action movies before, he is famous for realistic themes at home and abroad, and he specializes in art, Tang Shuang doesn't know what the result will be if a person who shoots realistic themes suddenly crosses over to make martial arts action movies.
It's a bit early to think about this, maybe the other party is just interested, and there are too many issues to consider from interest to practice.
Zhang Fei heard that Tang Shuang was at Tongji University in Guangdong, and in order to show his sincerity, he was going to rush over now.
……
In Zhao Yayi's disappointed gaze, Tang Shuang packed up his things and left, booked a private room in the school's café, waited for Zhang Fei's arrival, and called Li Haonan back at the same time, he should know some information.
When Zhang Fei was in Shengjing, he accidentally saw "Hero", and thought it was very interesting at the time, so he bought a copy and went back to read it.
He is 50 years old this year, and for most of his life, he has been studying realistic themes, which has brought him great honor.
At the same time, he also sees the trend of the film industry, due to the impact of Hollywood films, Chinese films are accelerating towards the large-scale production model, and pure art films will become more and more difficult to survive in China.
Although his previous films brought him honor, at the box office, none of his films could make it into the top twenty.
Transformation is imminent, commercial films will be the mainstream of the future, and in the process, he knows that he will definitely be blamed and attacked a lot, but this is the general trend, unless he retreats to retirement and is willing to be abandoned by the times.
Zhang Fei wants to shoot commercial films, but they must be cultural commercial films.
"Hero" is one of his transformational works, and there are two others, but "Hero" is the first choice, and only after this choice is completely impossible will he consider the other two.
Although "Hero" is very close to the script, it is not after all, so it needs to be adapted before filming can begin.
He hurriedly asked to see Tang Shuang, the biggest purpose was to talk about the film adaptation rights of "Hero", if he could talk about it, then what was immediately on the table was the question of the screenwriter.
The original author of the novel generally asks for the right to write the screenplay, Zhang Fei is not the kind of director who requires absolute control, the screenwriter can consider handing it over to the original author, but he must show enough ability, at least to convince him, otherwise he will not be able to take this kind of big thing as a child's play.
Therefore, this meeting is a two-way choice, depending on who can convince whom.
……
Tang Shuang finally saw Zhang Fei, the one on TV, not fake, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
Zhang Fei has short gray-white hair, which shows that he is no longer young, but his hair stands on end, with a pair of bright eyes, the whole person looks radiant and sharp.
Tang Shuang apologized to him first, and on the phone, he thought the other party was a liar and hung up twice.
Zhang Fei smiled and expressed his understanding, and after the two sat down and chatted for a while, they cut to the chase.
Tang Shuang does not doubt Zhang Fei's directing ability, what he is worried about is that he is a big director with a realistic theme, how he knows martial arts and heroes, as long as he can answer these two questions and satisfy Tang Shuang, then he raises his hands to welcome.
Tang Shuang said: "Some people criticize "Hero" for dissolving violence on the surface, but also dissolving the conflict between justice and evil in Chinese martial arts movies, integrating the martial arts world originally built in the conflict between good and evil into the world of 'King Qin', fundamentally erasing the boundaries between assassins and courtiers, heroes and tyrants, and collapsing the value system of Chinese martial arts films!"
Zhang Fei was stunned, he didn't expect Tang Shuang to expose his shortcomings at the beginning, he smiled and said: "This is too serious, some people like to button their hats, not to crush people to death, but also to scare people half to death." ”
Tang Shuang smiled and said nothing, Zhang Fei stared at him, and laughed, interesting, he realized that this was the author of the novel testing him, if the answer could not satisfy the other party, I am afraid there was no need to talk about it anymore.
Zhang Fei pondered, Tang Shuang did not urge, sat quietly and added sugar to the coffee.
The scene in front of me is like the chess hall in "Hero", Tang Shuang and Zhang Fei are sitting in the Leaky Sky Pavilion, the rain outside the pavilion is in a line, the rain is tinkling, inside the pavilion, the two of them are staring at the ancient nine-step chess, Tang Shuang moved Baizi, his hands are sleeved, waiting for Zhang Fei to go.
