Chapter 1184: Wu's Someone's Sinister Intentions
The next day, Wu Cheng went to the company. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the office, Lin Lingdong knocked on the door and entered, "Boss, are you looking for me?"
Wu Cheng glanced up at him, nodded and said, "Ah Dong is here, sit down! Wait for me for a while!"
As he spoke, he sped through the materials in front of him, and after a few minutes, he closed the file, then picked up another document and sat down on the couch next to him.
At this time, the secretary Li Luoxin walked in with coffee, and after handing the coffee to the two of them, she withdrew again.
"Have you prepared a new film recently?" Wu Cheng asked with a smile.
Lin Lingdong shook his head, a little embarrassed and said, "Although I have some ideas recently, I can't grasp the inspiration for a while, so I'm ready to take a break." ”
Wu Cheng estimated that his idea may be to write "Dragon and Tiger", this year he filmed "Eros No. 1", although the box office has nearly 10 million, for the investment in this drama, it is not a loss, and even some of it is profitable, but if you look at it with the overall box office list, it will be a little shabby.
However, Lin Lingdong, the director, is naturally a director who cannot be underestimated, otherwise, he would not have called him over and asked him to shoot the drama "Prison Storm".
In the drama "Prison Storm", starring Liang Jiahui and Zhou Runfa, Zhou Yan found that there was no schedule. He is now losing weight, and he is also filming "True Colors of Heroes 2", and he will have to promote "God of Gamblers 2" in a few days, and then he will continue to shoot "True Colors of Heroes 2", and then "Bloody Heroes". If you want to shoot "Prison Storm", I don't know when you have to wait.
The reason why Wu Cheng gave him this script now was mainly to 'indirectly prevent' his brother Nan Yan from writing this script through his hands.
Although this play is a play two years later, who knows when Nan Yan will come up with this script at this time!
Even now Nan Yan already has such an idea, and even began to write the script of this story, he is not surprised.
Because Wu Baige has already taught him a vivid lesson.
Lin Lingdong took the folder handed over by Wu Cheng, opened it and looked at it, and then couldn't help but look up at him, and said, "Boss, this is, the script you wrote?"
Wu Cheng picked up the coffee and said with a smile: "You read it first, and then you will talk about it after reading it." ”
Lin Lingdong nodded, then looked down at the script, looked at it, he felt a little familiar, and when he saw the end, he closed his eyes and thought about it.
Because he suddenly felt that this character was somewhat similar to the background of a story that his eldest brother wanted to write before. As for the official story, his brother hasn't thought about it yet.
At that time, he just heard his brother say that he wanted to create a script with a prison theme, or because he read Wu Cheng's "The Shawshank Redemption", a novel adapted from the screenplay.
Unexpectedly, now there is such a script, and it was written by the original author of the script "The Shawshank Redemption".
Wu Chengjing sipped his coffee quietly and did not disturb his reading.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "Boss, is this script derived from the novel "The Shawshank Redemption"?
Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Of course, why don't I show you this script?" After a pause, he said: "Why do you think this is derived from "The Shawshank Redemption"? Is there any similarity between these two scripts?"
In other words, no one should know better than him what are the similarities between these two scripts! Lin Lingdong thought, after all, these two scripts were written by him!
But since Wu Cheng asked so, it is estimated that he wants to test him, and he thinks so.
"The similarities between the two scripts ......," Lin Lingdong gradually began to say.
It's just that he doesn't know much about the play "Prison Storm", after all, he has only watched it once. He only knows that the stories told in these two scripts are set in prisons, but the difference is that "The Shawshank Redemption" is about freedom and prison escape.
But what "Prison Storm" is about brotherhood that happens in prison.
And the difference is that "The Shawshank Redemption" is concerned about some social problems that those who come out of prison have difficulty facing the real life of society.
And "Prison Storm" is not!
Therefore, if you want to say that there are any similarities between the two movies, you can basically only say that these are two movies with the same prison theme.
After talking about it, Lin Lingdong said: "Actually, it felt familiar at first, not because his subject matter was the same as the novel "The Shawshank Redemption", but because my eldest brother once wanted to write a movie with the theme of prison because he had read the novel "The Shawshank Redemption". But later, because of other things dragging on, and the story itself has not been formed, there is no follow-up. Now that I see this script of yours, boss, I wonder if this script is derived from "The Shawshank Redemption". ”
This explanation is much easier to accept.
At the same time, he also mentioned his brother, which can be regarded as a recommendation!
In fact, speaking of which, his elder brother Lin Lingnan, that is, Nan Yan, this guy is still quite talented. It's just a pity that Nan Yan didn't mix in Tiancheng Brokerage Company, but had a good relationship with Wang Fatjing, and these two fat men are both enthusiastic enthusiasts of ****.
Therefore, even if Wu Cheng appreciates him, he may not necessarily come to Tiancheng Brokerage Company.
After Lin Lingdong finished speaking, Wu Chengcai smiled and said: "It seems that you really didn't find the wrong person to direct this movie......
But he secretly said in his heart: Ni Mei's! It's good to get this script out as soon as possible, otherwise, it is estimated that this movie will become Yongsheng, or the work of Xinshi City.
Wu Cheng is very willing to hand over a good script to someone else to direct, after all, even if he doesn't give someone else to direct, so many scripts, he doesn't have so much time and energy himself.
Moreover, even if it is handed over to someone else to direct, the film is also from its own company.
But if the script was written by Nan Yan, it is estimated that this film is likely to go to Yongsheng's side, because of his relationship with Wang Panjing, and because Lin Lingdong is the director of Tiancheng Agency. The star artists of Tiancheng Agency are very free, and the company never prevents its star artists from going to other companies to make money.
Fortunately, Nanyan only had such an idea, and did not put it into practice.
After all, listening to the meaning of Lin Lingdong's words, the reason why Nan Yan wanted to write a movie with prison as the theme was influenced by "The Shawshank Redemption", a novel adapted from the screenplay.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "You can take this script back and let your eldest brother read it too, and see if there are any details that still need to be changed, I allow you to change them." ”
“……”
Lin Lingdong obviously didn't understand Wu's 'sinister intentions'.
But since he said so, he just did it.
In addition, Wu Cheng said: "In addition, the original protagonists of this drama were Zhou Yunfa and Liang Jiahui, and the acting skills of the two of them are no problem at all as the two protagonists." However, now Zhou Runfa's schedule is a problem, Xu Ke's "True Colors of Heroes 2" is being filmed, he is the protagonist, and next, director Wu Yusen of Golden Harvest may make a movie, and Ah Fa is also the protagonist. So I want to invite him to shoot this "Prison Storm", and it is estimated that it will wait until April and May next year, or even the second half of the year. So, before that, I hope you can arrange the rest of the crew, and in addition, there is the prison scene, and I will also create a ......"
That is, if everything is ready, you can even shoot other people's scenes in the movie first, and then keep the scenes played by the protagonist Zhou Runfa first, and then shoot his scenes when Zhou Runfa has a schedule. This Lin Lingdong is naturally no stranger.
After all, other people make movies, not like Wu Cheng makes movies.
Wu Cheng's crew basically gathers all the members and then shoots. There are naturally advantages and disadvantages to shooting like this. As for the disadvantages, it is for the actors.
However, countless actors want to participate in Wu Cheng's movies but can't, so they don't feel that there is anything to complain about if they spend more time in Wu Cheng's crew.
Many actors don't have a chance to waste this time with him!
Lin Lingdong smiled and said, "Don't worry, boss, I know what to do!"
At this time, he looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he couldn't suppress his excitement in his heart. How many directors want to shoot Wu Cheng's script but can't, but such an opportunity appears in his hands, at this time, he really wants to take out this joy and share it with his friends and his eldest brother.
Come to think of it, if his eldest brother knew the news, he would definitely be happy for him!
You must know that although he joined Tiancheng Brokerage early...... After Tiancheng Brokerage took over Jiashi, Lin Lingdong had already stayed in Tiancheng Brokerage Company.
After that, he went to Canada for further study, and after he came back, he still stayed in Tiancheng Agency, and also directed his first film "Yin and Yang Wrong", which made him stand out, and then he had the opportunity to write and direct the "Eros One" filmed this year.
It's just that the results of "Eros One" are very average, which makes his confidence somewhat damaged. Of course, this achievement is already very good for a 'rookie director', after all, he is just a director who has just made a movie.
And although the results of "Eros No. 1" were not very satisfactory, they also made money for the company, so the company actually didn't have any opinions about him.
It's just that he himself is a little bit less confident in himself!
Unexpectedly, Wu Cheng valued him so much that he handed over the script he wrote to him to direct. If this news spreads, it is estimated that countless directors will be envious, jealous and hateful of him!
He thought so.
