Chapter 228: Chen Dieyi
"Dream of Red Mansions?" screenwriter Fang Chen, who is this?"
The next morning, as soon as Yang Qiu arrived at the office on the set, Wang Tianlin came to the door with a script and looked through it, only to find out that this was a Huangmei Opera movie. β’ With * dream * small β’ say Ρ Π©Ρ.suimEnG.1a
The script is decent, but it is also mixed with five Huangmei tune songs composed by Tao Min.
The author of the lyrics turned out to be this kind of confession.
Yang Qiu frowned and thought for a while, but he found nothing, this Fang Chen, he had never heard of it.
Wang Tianlin saw that his boss was puzzled, and immediately replied: "Fang Chen is a pen name, but in fact, the deity is Mr. Chen Dieyi Chen." β
Chen Dieyi is not a mileage butterfly in "Farewell My Concubine".
However, from the name of the origin, the name of Cheng Dieyi is indeed derived from Chen Dieyi.
After all, before the movie version of "Farewell My Concubine", there was actually a TV series version for a long time, and when the director and Li Bihua were preparing the script of this TV series, they chose a name for the male (female) protagonist according to the name of their friend Chen Dieyi.
Of course, the lives between the two are not different at all.
Chen Dieyi dropped out of school when he was young and joined the newspaper as a scribe, and at the age of 20 he was transferred to the editorial department, and was famous throughout the magic capital for his good writing.
When he was young, he was suave and suave, and praised himself as one of the Eight Immortals of the foreign field.
In 933, he founded the first formal and influential entertainment newspaper in Chinese history, Star Daily, and in 94, he founded the monthly magazine Vientiane, which became one of the best-selling publications in the magic capital at that time.
But the most praised thing is Chen Dieyi's lyric skills.
Although he only began to try songwriting in 945, he was already a blockbuster if he didn't make a sound, and the theme song of the same name for "Phoenix Yu Fei" starring Zhou Xuan caused a sensation when it was released, causing everyone to sing in the ten miles of foreign fields.
Fei Yuqing and Zhang Huimei in later generations have covered this song.
Of course, there is also a song "I Have a Love", not to mention, the current mother of the country has sung it.
As for the most familiar to everyone, I am afraid it is still a cover of the Cuban song "Only You Without Him in My Heart", and it is Chen Dieyi who wrote the lyrics for this song in Chinese.
In the Chinese song pop industry in the 40s, he can be said to be a figure on the same level as Yao Min and Li Houxiang.
But......
Yang Qiu raised his head and said suspiciously: "Mr. Chen Dieyi, isn't he running a newspaper in the Demon Capital?"
Although Chen Dieyi is the most famous in the song industry, his main job is to run a newspaper, because the money he earns from writing songs can't support his family.
For example, Yao Min, whose main position now is the head of the production department of Xiangjiang Baidai Music.
Xi Jingting's side, also because of his relationship, joined EMI Records.
......Wang Tianlin hesitated a little and explained softly: "The mainland is now engaged in public-private partnerships, and private individuals are not allowed to run newspapers. β
"Oh. β
Yang Qiu nodded, noncommittal.
Seeing that the boss didn't express any opinions, Wang Tianlin continued: "Mr. Chen didn't have a job in the magic capital, so he went south to Xiangjiang, and just saw that the Huangmei Opera movie here was very popular, so he wrote a script. β
Conveniently?
Yang Qiu raised his eyes and looked at Wang Tianlin, and he could still write the song with ease......
It's also too smooth.
Wang Tianlin was a little cowardly by Yang Qiu, scratching his head and smiling awkwardly: "It was Mr. Yao Min Yao who introduced this script to me, boss, how about you take a look?"
"Do you want to shoot?" Yang Qiu didn't mention the opinion of the script, and asked directly.
"Hehe, if you let me shoot it, it's okay to shoot it for someone else, anyway, I'm just a person who sends scripts. Wang Tianlin pretended to shirk two sentences, and then changed his words: "This is the first script written by Mr. Chen, but I read this script, although the plot ups and downs are average, but those Huangmei tunes are really good." β
This is what he wants to shoot.
After Wang Tianlin made a few movies in Jiahe in a row, Yang Qiu saw that he was honest and could still ensure quality and quantity, so he gave him great freedom and allowed him to choose his own materials for the next movies.
Of course, the more important reason is that Yang Qiu feels that he can't keep picking up private goods.
After all, many of the private goods in his stomach are not suitable for the current era.
It's better to let these people choose their own materials.
It's good to grasp the direction yourself.
As a director, Wang Tianlin is very happy to be able to choose the script by himself, thinking that he used to be given what to shoot and what he was filmed, but now he can make his own decisions, so what is there to be dissatisfied.
But he was apprehensive.
After all, the first idea of the Wang family is not to let the boss lose money!
In the past, others gave the script and the story, but he was only responsible for directing, so the pressure was naturally less. But now even the script is thrown to him to choose by himself, which is equivalent to putting all the hard work of a movie on him, and this pressure can naturally be imagined.
For more than a month, he was very worried about what he was filming.
Obviously, there wasn't so much trouble before......
Golden Harvest's own screenwriting department recruited three or two kittens, led by Cheng Gang part-time, but Cheng Gang's own screenwriting ability is not much to say, just these kittens are still very immature, and they can barely do some script polishing work.
Wang Tianlin himself even read several initial scripts, but he was not very satisfied.
In the end, it was Cheng Gang who gave him a copy of "Shark Tears" written by himself, which made Wang Tianlin reluctantly nod and agree.
This drama is naturally going to be filmed as a Huangmei opera.
After all, in these years, filming Huangmei Opera will definitely not lose money.
Wang Tianlin understands this.
Then Wang Tianlin went to Yao Min's house and asked for a song for his movie.
The final result was naturally this one, and "Shark Tears" was returned by Wang Tianlin, but he took this "Dream of Red Mansions" and ran back to find Yang Qiu.
Yang Qiu casually flipped through the script in his hand twice, nodded lightly and said: "Since you said that this song is well written, then I will take this script home and read it today, and give you an answer tomorrow, if it passes, this drama will be filmed by you." β
"Thank you, boss!" Wang Tianlin suddenly smiled.
"You don't need to thank me, after all, Mr. Yao's Huangmei song, as well as your film skills, I still recognize it very much. Yang Qiu stood up as he spoke, took the briefcase, and put the script in it.
"Hey, heyβ"
Wang Tianlin laughed twice quite smugly.
Yang Qiu put away the script but didn't sit down, but glanced at Wang Tianlin, thought for a while and suddenly asked, "By the way, Tianlin, do you have anything else to do besides sending the script today?"
"It's okay, what's wrong?" Wang Tianlin wondered.
"It's okay, I'm going to go to the Daguan set later, you follow me. β
"Huh?"
"Oh, yes. Yang Qiu rubbed his eyebrows, and continued to advise: "You go and call Li Hanxiang and Hu Jinquan now, and the four of us will go over together." β
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
Wang Tianlin had some doubts in his heart, he didn't know what was going on in Daguan, and the three main forces of Jiahe could be dispatched.
What! Three main forces?
Hu Jinquan, the most talented person who has become an assistant director, is the main force......
