Zhang Yimou hesitated for a moment, but still took the script handed by Xu Hui.

Actually, at this time, his next work has been set - "Lu Criminal"

Every director thinks about his next film, even if he breaks up with his partner.

Especially for a director like Zhang Yimou, who is very aware of his shortcomings, his assistant's main job is to help collect suitable scripts...

Before the publication of "Lu Criminal's Knowledge", Yan Geling took the original manuscript to Zhang Yimou's assistant and gave Zhang Yimou 20 days to consider whether to adapt the film and television rights.

After all, after cooperating with "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", Yan Geling is still very satisfied with Zhang Yimou.

This is true of well-known writers, or writers who already have works.

For example, if there is a good work in "Harvest" magazine, those editors will also be angry with the directors they know well before the magazine is published.

After all, a good story is the source of a movie...

Yan Geling's works are very suitable for adapting film and television dramas, and she herself said: 'In the main narrative of the story, I dismembered the special narrative of the emotion, and then used the close-up of the movie to amplify this emotion several times...'

To put it simply, the picture is very strong!

If you want to have a thesis foundation or something, forget it, even Zhang Ailing can be recognized as garbage literature by a certain part of the people...

As early as "Heartstrings", Yan Geling's works have been put on the big screen.

Many directors like to work with her, "Heavenly Bath", "Girl Xiaoyu", "A Woman's Epic", "Aunt Duohe", "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", and of course, "Fanghua"...

Many big directors have Brother Wen's feelings, and they like to add this situation to their works, probably because of their own experience.

Many of Yan Geling's works are based on this historical fact, such as "Lu Guilty Yan Zhi".

Zhang Yimou has his own sense of smell when he chooses works, he is very sensitive to the fact that this will be a good work, of course, if you want to put it on the big screen, it will take a lot of modifications, and in the past few days, he has been thinking about how to adapt such a work that tells the whole story of Brother Wen into a movie that can be released.

Often dealing with the censorship department, Zhang Yimou has a very clear understanding of the scale of the film.

……

Zhang Yimou was flipping through the script, Huang Wen glanced at Xu Hui and asked in a low voice: "... Are you alright?"

“… What's wrong? I'm fine!"

"I see that your face is full of depression, not at all like the Director Xu I know!"

Is it so obvious?

"It's okay, probably... Maybe I haven't had much rest these days..."

“… Take more rest. ”

It can be seen that Xu Hui doesn't seem to want to talk about this, so Huang Wen changed the topic: "When are you going to start your next work?"

"..."Leave "Dao Ma Dan" to Lu Yang, I'm going to the United States..."

"What to do in the United States?"

"I'll shoot the first two episodes of "Wasteland"!"

“… Okay, who is the actor looking for?"

“… If you want to speak English well, you have to be able to work hard, well, Wu Yan's group, you can contact him..."

This really can't be helped, compared with mainland actors, Hong Kong and Taiwan actors have an innate advantage in this regard.

Especially Hong Kong actors, they themselves receive English education.

And Wu Yan's group itself is a San Franciscan...

Xu Hui actually thought about finding Deng Chao or Huang Xiaoming, but the English level of these two is really worrying - e are tired of logging VS too much...

Don't be ashamed...

"Tsk..."

"What's wrong?"

"I'm just curious, what have you been through these past few days?"

Huang Wen deliberately smacked his lips a few times: "I actually made an exception to find a Hong Kong actor!"

“… I repeat, I don't have any prejudice against Hong Kong and Taiwan actors!"

"Hehe..."

At the end of the topic, the main Xu Hui is not interested in nonsense, and the troubles have not passed...

Yaya still doesn't want to deal with him...

Zhang Yimou originally just planned to skim through the script a little, probably because a certain aspect touched him, and he began to read it carefully.

Huang Wen asked, "What is your script?"

“… You'll see for yourself later, I can't explain it in a few words..."

……

Half an hour, Zhang Yimou put down the script and looked at Xu Hui: "How did you come up with such a story?"

"I can't think of it, mainly because I read a report on 'Visiting Relatives' that day, and I wondered if I could focus on such a character in the story, but if I really want to write it like this, the script is easy to write into a running account, so I changed the angle and set the characters as a group of overseas workers..."

Another point, such a subject is very sensitive, and if it is filmed, it will inevitably involve a bunch of policies, which is a big taboo for movies!

“… It's a novel focus and a good story!"

Zhang Yimou commented.

"Would you like to direct?"

"You put it here, I still have a script at hand..."

Sure enough, Lao Zhang is still more interested in "Lu Criminals"!

The difference between the five generations of directors and the four generations of directors is that they express Brother Wen's individual fate, which is the best weapon for them to walk the rivers and lakes!

That is, the legendary feelings!

Let's put it this way, "feelings" are a very empty thing, depending on the wisdom.

The so-called feelings, other people's hearts, each flower into their own eyes.

“… Is it "Lu Criminal's Knowledge"?"

"yes, you know this?"

I know too well, "The Return"!

The title pun, even if Lao Mouzi's "Return" work, it is also the meaning of the return of "Lu Yanzhi", of course, the most memorable thing for Pao Hui is Emperor Gonghuang's Lost Golden Horse!

"Of course, the works of writer Yan Geling..."

In fact, "Return" is not a particularly good work in Lao Mouzi's entire directorial career, compared with "Alive" and "Red Sorghum", it is a little less interesting, but after "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", or in the whole of 2014, "Return" is enough to rank among the top three of the year in terms of quality and influence!

It's a pity that after "The Return", it was actually "The Great Wall"...

Da Tiantian has become the biggest obstacle to Zhang Yimou's return...

"And this script?"

Xu Hui is a little hesitant, although he himself has the desire to direct, but he knows his skills very well, as a director, Xu Hui's strongest thing is his fast editing, so the action movies he shoots will give people a sense of excitement and tension.

However, to let him shoot this kind of emotion without ups and downs throughout the whole process, I'm sorry, he doesn't have that ability...

"You put it here first, wait for me to discuss it with Zou Jingzhi..."

Zou Jingzhi is his new screenwriter...

"Director, when will it be convenient for us, can we sign a director's contract?"

Huang Wen showed his true colors, originally he came for the purpose of signing Zhang Yimou!

“… I can do it at any time, but do I need to find a lawyer to notarize it?"

Lao Mouzi was once bitten by a snake, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years...

He and Zhang Weipin just don't have a contract, so there will be a bunch of forced things...
