In the evening, Huada on Castle Peak Road.

Zhang Shankun sent away a director who came to submit a script, and then picked up his things and prepared to go home.

Although it has been decided to reopen Xinhua, there are still two or three films hanging under the name of Far East, some of which are being filmed and some have been filmed but have not been released.

So he's been a bit busy these last few days.

Packing up all the way, he opened his briefcase, put the script handed over by the director just now, and put it in the bag, planning to take it home to read.

Finally packed up, Zhang Shankun carried the briefcase and checked it one last time, and when he saw that nothing was missing, he turned around and walked towards the door.

Just walked to the door, Zhang Shankun suddenly paused.

After stopping and thinking for two or three seconds, Zhang Shankun hesitated, but turned around again, walked to the desk, opened the drawer, picked up a script casually, and put it in the briefcase.

Quietly, Zhang Shankun looked around.

This time he didn't miss anything, so he nodded in satisfaction, opened the door and went out.

When passing by the entrance of the new stage theater, there was a burst of people's voices, Zhang Shankun thought it was a new film that was released, but when he looked closely, it was the first time that "Funny Times" was re-screened.

It is also interesting to say that even if most of the producers' share after the re-release is only 10%, in this era of no Internet and piracy, this percentage of income is also extremely considerable.

Think about Chaplin, who fell into an economic crisis in the United States last year, and suddenly became rich again by re-screening "Modern Times" in France.

This is simply unthinkable in the afterlife......

I don't know how much this Yang Qiu has earned through the re-screening of "Funny Times" and "Tianxian Pei".

But it's ridiculous to think about it, this Guan's Jinguo Cinema Line has been playing "Funny Times" for half a year, and I don't know how many times it has been re-screened, and the attendance rate has always been good.

Now "Tianxian Pei" has been added.

It's just that although this "Tianxian Match" is a drama, it has always been in Chinese, and even the theater line of Jinguo is not a country or a Cantonese one.

However, Zhang Shankun mentioned it to people in the circle, saying that the old man Guan of the Golden Country seemed to have tasted the sweetness of mixed distribution, and he was thinking about building a Western film theater.

Sure enough, he is rich and capricious!

Zhang Shankun's home is not far from the Huada studio, just next door to Yinghua College, Tokyo Street, so he is usually too lazy to drive.

After walking for only ten minutes all the way, Zhang Shankun returned home.

took out the key and pushed the door in, and was about to change her shoes, when his wife Tong Yuejuan heard the sound and walked out of the kitchen.

"You're back, are you hungry?"

"Sort of. ”

"Mama Zhang made a bowl of wings, and I'll serve you a bowl. ”

"Good. ”

After changing his shoes and loosening his neckline, he casually put his briefcase on the coffee table, Zhang Shankun went to the bathroom to wash his face, and finally felt a lot more sober.

When she came out, Tong Yuejuan was already sitting on the sofa, and there was a bowl of wings on the coffee table.

They are all old husbands and wives, and Zhang Shankun is not polite, so he immediately sat next to Tong Yuejuan, picked up the bowl and ate it with a snort.

Tong Yuejuan looked funny and said lightly: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”

"Fans, it's not real shark fin, it's delicious enough to eat like this. Zhang Shankun snorted twice and ate a bowl of wings, took the handkerchief handed over by Tong Yuejuan, wiped his mouth and said, "But don't say it, this thing is quite delicious." ”

"It's delicious, then ask Zhang's mother to make it for you tomorrow." ”

"Okay, let's also 'abalone shark fin' every day. Zhang Shankun teased, leaned back on the sofa, and suddenly asked: "By the way, how is the box office of Li Ying's new film "Rose Blossoms"?"

Tong Yuejuan picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and replied as she walked to the kitchen: "It's not bad." ”

"Not bad?"

"The evaluation and attendance are at least a lot better than his previous films. Tong Yuejuan's voice came from the kitchen.

"Hehe, yes, yes. Zhang Shankun sneered and said loudly: "The money has been used for real." ”

Tong Yuejuan wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen, gave him a blank look, and said, "You can't shout these words outside. ”

"Hey, okay, don't say it, don't say it. Zhang Shankun waved his hand helplessly, rubbed his neck and said, "In two days, take this film to Shaw Brothers and sell it, and then send the 60,000 yuan principal to Yang Qiu of Jiahe as soon as possible." ”

"Good. ”

"Alas, you said that Yang Qiu, this kid, has the lion's share of investment but doesn't do anything, and throws everything to us in the Far East, which is really ......."

"This is charity for orphans and widows. Tong Yuejuan refuted a little, sat down and said: "It's good that Boss Yang is willing to pay, what else, I heard that he is still inviting other people's mothers and sons to film, he is really a good person." ”

“……”

Zhang Shankun couldn't refute this, and in desperation, he swept his eyes, noticed the briefcase that had been on the coffee table, and sat up and took the briefcase in front of him.

Just as he was about to unzip the briefcase, Zhang Shankun suddenly thought of something, and said to his wife: "By the way, when you send the money to Jiahe, add another 3,000 yuan." ”

"Three thousand?" Tong Yuejuan was slightly stunned and asked, "Why?"

"Our big boss Yang sold me a script. ”

Zhang Shankun replied casually, then opened the briefcase, took out the two scripts, and spread them on the coffee table neatly.

One is naturally Yang Qiu's "Rouge Buckle", and the other is called "Yue'er Bends to Shine on Kyushu", and the signatory is called Tu Guangqi.

And Tong Yuejuan's gaze has been tightly locked by "Rouge Buckle" from the beginning.

"Rouge Buckle" ?......" Tong Yue muttered and said softly: "The name is so good, have you seen it?"

Zhang Shankun frowned and said, "I've seen half of it." ”

"Half?"

"Well, half, this script is too affectionate, I ...... Not very much. Zhang Shankun explained thoughtfully.

"Oh, too much love?" Tong Yuejuan's eyes lit up, and she picked up the script of "Rouge Buckle" and said, "Then I want to take a look." ”

Zhang Shankun smiled and gestured: "Then you look at that one, I'll look at the one that opened up." ”

"Good. ”

Seeing Tong Yuejuan open "Rouge Buckle", Zhang Shankun chuckled and shook his head, put another script on his lap, opened it and read it.

But then he frowned.

Tu Guangqi is also an old man in the film and television industry, he was an actor in the magic capital in the thirties, and he began to direct movies by himself in the forties, and he cooperated with Zhang Shankun several times when he was in the magic capital.

And Tu Guangqi's wife is Ouyang Shafei, a famous actress in the magic capital in the forties.

The husband and wife of the two sang and sang with each other, one directed and one acted intimately, and the cooperation in 1946 "Tianzi No. 1" broke the box office record of Chinese films at that time. Since the two arrived in Xiangjiang in 1950, they have made several films in the Far East based on Zhang Shankun's relationship, so both parties are old acquaintances.

Therefore, Zhang Shankun knows Tu Guangqi's script style very well, that is, there are no rules.

Tu Guangqi makes films, rarely takes the script, either with a scribbled storyboard script, or directly with the original draft, and plays it on the spot after arriving at the scene.

If he writes a script, most people can't read it, and it's all thrown around like a puzzle.

Maybe the last game was the thirteenth, and the hero and heroine were still hugging each other and talking about love, but the next one suddenly jumped to twenty-seven, and the hero had already strangled the heroine to death.

It can be said that it is really written wherever I want to go.

The boss who reads the script has to look at the script to find out the order by himself, and then he can sort it out.

The script in Zhang Shankun's hand is such a thing.

Fortunately, Zhang Shankun was already familiar with Tu Guangqi's routine, so he took out a pen from his bag, made a mark before each scene, and marked the next scene to jump to the first page.

Zhang Shankun began to read the script seriously......

A movie, which is basically 90 minutes long, seems to be very long, but in terms of script description, it is very little, as little as 10,000 words, and more than 30,000 words, which is basically enough.

The rest depends on the director's own performance.

30,000 words according to the standards of later generations of online articles, it is less than ten minutes of reading, reading has not yet formed a fast food culture in these years, Zhang Shankun is reading and tasting carefully, and after watching it for more than 20 minutes, he finally figured out what the script said.

"The Moon Bends on Kyushu" is also a script that criticizes the dark society.

The main content of the book is that there is a painter who wants to paint a picture of "God and the Devil", and he has found a simple and kind country girl to be a model of "God", but he has never been able to find someone who can represent "the devil".

Ten years later, someone introduced him to a death row prisoner as a devil, but he didn't expect that the death row prisoner was the simple country girl ten years ago.

"The Moon Bends in Kyushu" tells the story of what happened to this girl in the past ten years, turning her from a simple girl to an evil murderer.

This is mixed with social darkness and human sorrow, which is told from the perspective of this woman.

'Whew——!'

Zhang Shankun sighed, every time he read this kind of script, he seemed to see scenes of life tragedy, which made people sigh and feel depressed.

However, it is indeed well written, and it is very sobering!

What if......

"Woo-woo-"

Well?

Zhang Shankun was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at Tong Yuejuan next to him, and saw this lady covering her nose with a handkerchief, her eyes red and crying. 8)
