Chapter 107: Taking the Wrong Car and Happy Ghosts
In the afternoon, Wang Zifan inspected the crew of "Best Partner" as usual, although the cameo roles of Huang Baiming, Shi Tian and Xu Ke were completed, but people came more diligently than him, and several people got together and did not mess around, but resolutely followed the previously agreed script routine to shoot, which is also a major feature of DreamWorks, the script is large, and the director obeys the script, unlike other film companies, which modify the plot at will according to the director's preferences. lines, don't say it at will, and waste time by procrastinating, who would dare to do it in DreamWorks, and before the film was finished, the director's position was replaced.

Because Wang Zifan believes in his own vision more, he is present in every DreamWorks movie, especially the script, often personally involved in the creation, as well as the core high-level executives such as Mecca, Huang Baiming, and Xu Ke participated, and the director revised the script, wouldn't it be tantamount to denying them, the movie should be angry if it was a blockbuster, and even more angry if it didn't sell well.
During the intermission, several staff members carried a few fans on the ground and plugged them in, Wang Zifan was wondering, Xu Guanjie and Mecca squeezed over from the crowd like a joke, Xu Guanjie took off his black leather coat, Mecca blocked one of the fans, and they all showed ecstatic expressions, it turned out that the weather was too hot, and the clothes they wore were too stuffy, and as a result, they were sweating during filming, and the assistant brought a towel to dry the two of them, and after resting for a while, they changed their clothes and continued to work.
Wang Zifan found Zeng Zhiwei, this kid was hiding in the shade, drinking ice drinks leisurely, and there was an electric fan waiting next to him.
"Afan, you're here!"
"Where's the field work?"
"I asked him to buy a boxed lunch, foreigners are not good at serving, and they have to eat ice cream when they eat!" Zeng Zhiwei complained, when the movie first started filming, foreigners didn't have so many requirements, and when they got acquainted, they formed a group and put forward a lot of conditions.
Wang Zifan frowned and said, "How is the stunt team I asked you to prepare?"
Zeng Zhiwei spread his hands and shook his head: "I understand what you mean, I want to replace these foreigners with our own people, but no, it's not a technical problem, but the foreigners have experience, and many effects can only be done by them, and we can do it, but it will take a lot of time!"
"Then meet all their requirements!" Wang Zifan thought to himself that these foreigners were really serving, and the white stunt group and the Chinese stunt rental in the venue were also clearly distinguished, and asked, "They have no opinion, right?"
Zeng Zhiwei smiled: "Don't worry, I added a bottle of ice water to the Hong Kong people!"
Wang Zifan could only say: "Thank you for your hard work!"
Zeng Zhiwei grinned and said, "By the way, Afan, Huang Baiming seems to be looking for you just now!"
Wang Zifan said vigilantly: "What is he looking for me for?"
"Just ask him and you'll know!" Zeng Zhiwei was diligent, locked Huang Baiming's position and shouted to him to come over, Wang Zifan really wanted to kick him in the ass a few times.
"Mr. Wang, I'm looking for you everywhere!" Huang Baiming was very happy.
"It's just right, I also have something to look for you!" Wang Zifan looked at him and knew that he was not lightly fooled by Zhang Aijia.
"What a coincidence!"
"Come and talk!"
Wang Zifan also found a cool place and asked people to move two chairs, one for him and Huang Baiming.
"It's the script!"
"It's really come out, it's only been a few days, and you have been fooled by Zhang Aijia?"
"Mr. Wang, you read the script first, Mecca praises the story for filming!"
"Really?"
Wang Zifan is a little interested, to a certain extent, Mecca is more commercial than him, in the words of the artist, it is full of copper smell, such people are also optimistic about literary films, it is definitely not ordinary, took the script and asked: "What's your name?"
Huang Baiming smiled: "Take the wrong car!"
Wang Zifan was stunned, isn't "Taking the Wrong Car" the song 'If the wine is sold' that is sung all over the streets and alleys, it can be called a commercial film in literary films, the most important thing is that it can make money, I knew that Zhang Aijia was this idea, and he couldn't deliberately avoid her!
Huang Baiming reminded: "Don't you take a look?"
Wang Zifan said: "I believe in you, by the way, do you want to make this film?"
Huang Baiming rubbed his hands nervously, smiled and said modestly: "Mr. Wang, I don't have directing experience yet, and he wants to ......shoot in Mecca in the name of New Art City."
Wang Zifan interrupted seriously: "This is not appropriate, I discussed with Miss Zhang before, I support her to set up DreamWorks Taiwan Branch, "The Wrong Car" is the first work, you let Mecca figure out its own way, ask for money and people to give people, but this movie is really not good, I am ready to use it to open the Taiwan market." ā
Huang Baiming nodded, and said with interest: "In this case, I will explain it to Mecca!"
Accepting the script, Wang Zifan smiled and said, "Tell me about you, have you ever thought about being a director?"
As a director?
This Huang Baiming really didn't think about it, mainly because he had been in the industry for too short, he was focused on writing a good script, and the rest of his energy was used to manage the company, and now Wang Zifan asked him to direct the movie, he didn't know where to start, but such a good opportunity, it was a pity to let it go, his expression froze for a while, and he hesitated and didn't know what to say.
Wang Zifan changed his posture and discussed: "That's it, let's get the script out first, and if you don't shoot it, I'll find someone else to shoot it!"
Huang Baiming asked weakly, "What kind of movie is this?"
"A low-budget comedy!" Wang Zifan was about to introduce the plot, his heart moved and stopped, now Huang Baiming should be very disappointed, the three giants of the new art city, Mecca and Shi Tian are all masters who can direct and act, only he writes the script, and he has the most no sense of existence, this is the best time to buy him.
"I'll write the script!" Huang Baiming thought that Wang Zifan was just looking for him to write a script, and he was very disappointed for a while.
Wang Zifan smiled: "This time I plan to hold you as the leading actor!"
"What?"
Huang Baiming didn't react for a while, can he still be the actor like this?
Wang Zifan smiled: "You heard it right, I just want to praise you!"
Huang Baiming was very surprised, but also a little worried, and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm like this...... Is that okay?"
"Don't worry about this, the decision I made is that I will bear the consequences even if I hit the street, you just have to do your own thing!" Wang Zifan didn't explain too much, he couldn't tell Huang Baiming like this, I need an ugly man like you to be the hero.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang!"
"By the way, you write down the plot outline and go back and play as you like!"
Huang Baiming immediately took out a pen and paper!
Wang Zifan recalled for a while and said that it was strange, the plot line was still very clear a few days ago, but now he doesn't think much: "In the Qing Dynasty, there was a Zhu Xiucai who failed to pass the exam more than ten times, angry with his father, angry with his wife, and he also committed suicide by hanging a beam in a certain temple, but he couldn't be reincarnated, and his soul was attached to the hemp rope he used when he committed suicide. ā
"Committed suicide?" Huang Baiming was dumbfounded, this is the end?
Wang Zifan said with a smile: "The title of the film is "Happy Ghost", it must be related to ghosts, didn't Hong Jinbao shoot a "Ghost Fight", it can be seen that there is still a market for this kind of fantasy film, by the way, where did we just say?"
"The part where Zhu Xiucai committed suicide!"
"Oh yes, that's just the background, here's the theme, in modern Hong Kong, Hong Kong secondary school girls...... Qiu Shuzhen oh no, it should be called Doudou, as well as Zhou Hailin and Ye Zimei in the holiday trip to avoid the storm, mistakenly broke into the ancient temple where Zhu Xiucai committed suicide, Qing brought the old hemp rope back to the dormitory in the chaos, and Zhu whose soul was attached to the hemp rope was also brought into the school, making a lot of jokes, and helping them, Zhu Xiucai became good friends with them, and advised them to rely on their own ability to create the future, and Zhu Xiucai was also relieved and reincarnated...... That's probably the plot!"
Huang Bai Mingqiang smiled: "The plot is really simple!"
Wang Zifan said: "You look at the supplement yourself, like a school sports meeting, and the happy ghost uses stealth to make a series of jokes, which can be discussed at the meeting of the other garden!"
Huang Baiming nodded, and asked again, "Why do I feel that these female characters are a little familiar?"
Wang Zifan said with a smile: "That's right, they are our DreamWorks trainees Qiu Shuzhen, Zhou Hailin, and Ye Zimei!"
"I'm partnering with them?" Huang Baiming was dumbfounded again, he was thirty or forty years old, and he made a movie with a group of female middle school students, so he wouldn't be scolded by others!
Wang Zifan estimated that his camera was about to arrive, patted his ass and stood up, and suddenly remembered that the original director of "Happy Ghost" was called Gao Zhisen, and this person happened to be in the screenwriting department of DreamWorks: "There is a choreographer named Gao Zhisen in our company, who is a talent, you have nothing to discuss with him." ā
