Chapter 425: Oscar?

"Big guy, do you think this script is okay?"

Since Lai Shuiqing is here, Zong Yu and Chen Qi will naturally not stop Liu Weiqiao and Mai Chaohui from entering. ↗ Big △ book ↗ bag ↗ novel ↗, ↗↗↗d↗a↗s↗h↗u↗b↗a↗o↗↗c↗c These two people now have an infinite desire for funds on the one hand, and a little bottomless about the script on the other.

When you meet a director or screenwriter, you can come up and ask for advice. didn't care that Lai Shuiqing was just a screen director, and after he sat inside, he took out the script and asked the other party to give some opinions.

In doing so, there may be a topic to be found.

"Hehe, you know, I haven't touched a movie for a long time, and I really can't say anything. But if I read it, it's really an excellent script.

It's just that this drama always makes me feel déjà vu. ”

What Lai Shuiqing wants to ask is whether this is plagiarized, but because it is not very familiar, it is not too direct.

"This is the inspiration I got when I watched Director Wu's "Changing Face", and I borrowed some from it!"

Mak Chaohui is very honest.

"It's very good, I'm not active here now, and the filming is all adaptations. ”

As he spoke, Lai Shuiqing pointed to his head.

"The Lord is back!"

After the script was finished, the three of them chatted about the Hong Kong market, and they couldn't help but feel some emotion. Now that the Hong Kong film market is shrinking, TV dramas are losing ground at all.

The first Korean drama to fall was Hong Kong, and now people can be seen all over the streets in terms of clothing and behavior, and they are all a bit sticky. If it weren't for this, Lai Shuiqing would not have gone to the mainland to play North Drift.

As he was talking, when he heard the movement outside, he reminded Liu Weiqiao and the two of them in a low voice.

Ye Luo was still thinking about playing, but his plan was interrupted by Bai Meiyu's phone call. I didn't dare to delay any longer, and the speed of the car increased to nearly 70 miles, so I was not afraid of Hong Kong people, but I didn't want Mui Yanshu to look bad.

"Lai Dao. Welcome, welcome, I'm sorry, something went out, it's rude!"

After greeting Lai Shuiqing, Ye Luo stretched out his hand and shook hands with Liu Weiqiao. He didn't know the two men, but he might as well be familiar. The time spent in Hong Kong is not short, and the people in the circle have generally taken pictures.

"Hello Ye Xiaowang, we are a little presumptuous. Because I was in a hurry, I didn't wait for Amei to call you, so I ran over!"

"Oh, since I'm Sister Mei's friend, the two of you can call me Xiao Luo!"

Ye Luo understood what Liu Weiqiao meant, that is, the other party greeted him in advance, but he didn't receive it.

"Ye Luo, this is Lau Weiqiang, a famous director and screenwriter in Hong Kong, I have seen "Carmen in Mong Kok", it is his work!"

Lai Shuiqing had no choice but to act as an intermediary at this time, after all, it was not appropriate for these two parties to introduce themselves.

"Oh, it turned out to be Director Liu! I have admired the name for a long time, I especially like your Wu-five "Crazy Boys"!"

As soon as he said Liu Weiqiao, Ye Luo remembered which person was in front of him, and the famous "Infernal Affairs" was written by this person! A classic, Ye Luo has read it three times.

I just wanted to express my admiration, but when the words came to my lips, I remembered that "Infernal Affairs" didn't seem to have been born yet.

"Uh, am I that famous?"

Liu Weiqiao muttered in his heart, and looked at Ye Luo's expression again, not like a fake, and then continued,

"Thank you! Thank you! Oh, Ye Luo, let me introduce you, this is Mak Zhaohui, and he is also a good director and screenwriter, and I came with him this time. ”

"Mai Dao is good!"

I'm not too familiar with this Ye Luo, but I just seem to have seen this name on "Eavesdropping". As a behind-the-scenes person, it is naturally not as well-known as the actor.

"Hello Ye Luo!"

After thinking about it, Mak Zhaohui still felt that it was good to be consistent with Liu Weiqiao and call him by name.

"I have to say that you are a blessed boss, you can take the initiative to come to the door with a good script. No, Silly Qiang and Zhaohui came to Beijing this time to send the script.

As far as this luck goes, in my opinion, in the future, our Phantom will not be short of filming. And I read the script carefully just now, it's really good!"

Lai Shuiqing held Ye Luo while holding it, and also blew the script by the way. is also from Hong Kong and is in the circle, so he naturally has to say some good things.

"Oh?

Bai Meiyu didn't say anything about it on the phone, and Ye Luo didn't know that these two people were here to deliver the script. However, when he glanced at the cover of the script on the table, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

Why am I tired? "The Departed"? Isn't this the later "Infernal Affairs"? Why did you come to your own eyes? Listen to the meaning and let the Phantom invest, is this pie in the sky or the halo of the protagonist?

Question marks rose in Ye Luo's head, and his thoughts were a little sluggish for a while.

This?

Liu Weiqiao and Mak Zhaohui were a little confused, what kind of reaction was this, even if they refused, they pretended to turn two pages! How could anyone give up just by reading the script just by looking at the name? They regarded Ye Luo's sluggishness as not optimistic.

"Walker, is this a myth?"

Ye Luo quickly realized that his reaction had caused the other party to misunderstand, so he had to break it blindly.

"It's not!"

Lau and Mak Chiu-fai breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"This has nothing to do with Sun Xingzhi, it is a modern police and bandit story. ”

Mai Zhaohui, who had eased up, took the initiative to explain to Ye Luo that he had bowed for thirty-six days, and he didn't want to shoot at the door. Ye Luo doesn't invest, and they really don't know who to turn to right now.

"Police movies? very good, I like this style a lot, what is the main plot about?"

Although Ye Luo knew what this "Infernal Affairs" was, he still asked while taking the script and reading it.

"Two men with confused identities, they are undercover agents for the police and the underworld. Now they are all determined to get out of this situation—the fact that both sides are undercover and lurking, and Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming will also face a life and death situation-"

No matter how young Ye Luo is, it is also the boss, and when the boss speaks, of course Mai Zhaohui has to listen. talked about it in great detail, and also deliberately talked about some of the highlights of this show.

"Admire, a proper gold medal screenwriter! Director Mai, if possible, consider joining the Phantom, and the cooperation will be successful! Of course, the same is true for Director Liu!"

"So, you agree to invest?"

Liu Weiqiao and Mak Chaohui both heard Ye Luo's voice-over, and subconsciously asked in unison. They need this movie so badly, and it's a question of whether they can change careers or not.

"Of course, if I give up such a good script, then I don't have eyes and don't know gold and jade, so that the pearl will be covered with dust!"

"Let me say, Ye Luoke is very discerning! How could he let go of such a good script? Now you should rest assured, right? Come, celebrate!"

There is red wine in the company, and the brand is not bad, and Zhou Haimei and others are not less slippery on weekdays. Lai Shuiqing saw that the intention was reached, so he walked to the wine cabinet and took one over.

Usually he can't let go of his face, but now he just took this opportunity to drink two glasses, this Plato is something he has coveted for a long time.

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Mai, I make a little immature suggestion, I hope you don't mind!"

"How come? Arlo, you just say it!"

After chatting for a while, they are all familiar, and the salutation naturally becomes closer.

"That's the case, I think the script should be improved, the small characters in it should be fuller, the two protagonists are too protruding and the supporting roles will be insignificant, so it's good to complement each other!

It's not that Ye Luo thinks about this, but he has read some movie reviews, saying that the shortcomings in "Infernal Affairs" are that the little characters are not plump enough, and the supporting roles are like soy sauce.

Compared with the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs", the American version of "The Departed" does a good job in this regard, and the character portrayal is fuller.

Now that the script has reached the Phantom, Ye Luo has the obligation and responsibility to say these things in advance.

"It should be so, tomorrow we will complete the script again!"

The gold lord cannot be offended, and what Ye Luo said is not unreasonable. This aspect is really worse, Hong Kong's commercial films are probably like this, with a good idea, a good plot is enough, and the subtleties are not very accurate.

As soon as the investment is pulled, it will be started, and it will be completed in a month if it is fast. What everyone values is the box office and profits.

"It's not that I'm picky, but I think this drama can be released in the United States. As you know, the Phantom has a branch in the United States, and if the investment is changed to the United States, I think it is not impossible to hit the Oscars. ”

"What? Oscar?"

Liu Weiqiao and Mak Zhaohui stood up in shock after listening to Ye Luo's words. Oscar? How dare they think? Just seem to have real hope!

Suddenly excited, if it weren't for the fear that Ye Luo would kick the two of them downstairs, I really hated to hug Ye Luo and kiss the two of them.
