Chapter 279: Can't refuse
Zhang Miao peeked curiously at Lin Youlun on the side, among the people she had come into contact with, she was either respectful or cautious in front of Xiang Huaqiang, this was the first time she had seen someone talk so easily in front of Xiang Huaqiang.
Lin Youlun told Xiang Huaqiang a lot about the idea of the movie "Crazy Boy", which also includes the choice of actor and director, Chen Haonan and Pheasant, the two classic roles, naturally there are Zheng Yijian and Chen Xiaochun to play, and director Lin Youlun recommends Liu Weiqiang.
Xiang Huaqiang was a little familiar with Liu Weiqiang's name, "Is that the director who helped Lin Sheng shoot "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World"? ”
Lin Youlun nodded, "He's helping me make another movie now, and that movie may have to wait 2 or 3 months to be made." ”
When Xiang Huaqiang heard that he would have to wait for so long, he frowned and said, "Aren't other directors good?" Wang Jing doesn't seem to have made any movies recently, how about asking him to make them? ”
Xiang Huaqiang knew that the relationship between Wang Jing and Lin Youlun was not ordinary, so he used Wang Jing to test Lin Youlun's attitude.
"Wang Jing is okay to make comedy genre films, but he can't make this kind of realistic movie." Lin Youlun shook his head, the "Crazy Boy" series of movies can cause such a big sensation, mainly because it has subverted the traditional Hong Kong film genre and screen values to a certain extent, and built a personalized, fashionable, and youthful image style and character group portrait, and at the same time, it also combines the living conditions of marginal young people living in a complex social environment with no hope for a future in studying. The struggle experience is more realistically presented on the screen, showing a stronger realistic flavor.
"What about Lin Lingdong?" Speaking of realistic style, Xiang Huaqiang immediately thought of Lin Lingdong, who won the Best Director at the Academy Awards this year.
"Lin Lingdong came to make this movie. It will definitely make the movie very depressing. The audience doesn't necessarily like it. Lin Youlun once again vetoed Xiang Huaqiang's proposal.
Zhang Meng was secretly frightened when he watched from the side. It was the first time she saw someone who didn't give Xiang Huaqiang face like this, and she refuted Xiang Huaqiang's proposal twice in a row.
Xiang Huaqiang frowned and didn't speak, Chen Mingying opened his mouth and asked: "I have to wait for two or three months, is this a little too long?" ”
"It takes at least half a month for the script to be finalized, and then it takes almost a month for the preliminary preparations, in fact, it may take more than a month to really wait, and it ......" Lin Youlun looked at the expressions of Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Mingying. Only then did he continue: "In my plan, there will be about 5-6 parts in the entire series of "Crazy Boy", and as long as the first part is successful, one of the characters can be taken out separately to make a side story, and at least more than ten related movies can be derived." ”
Before Lin Youlun finished speaking, Xiang Huaqiang's eyes had already lit up. When he first filmed "God of Gamblers", he complained to Lin Youlun that there were too few sequels, and the gambling film was originally popular in the hands of Yongsheng, but after the market formed a climate, most of the box office was earned by those film companies that followed the trend and snapped up.
Lin Youlun only wrote "God of Gamblers 1". "God of Gamblers 2" is a script written by Wang Jing according to the story framework given by Lin Youlun, and the box office after the movie is made has more than 30 million. It's just not as sensational as the first part, "God of Gamblers 3" is a script taken out by Yongsheng himself, and the director has also changed to others, and he is still looking for Zhou Runfa to act, but unfortunately the box office is only 20 million, seeing that there is nothing to dig into this theme, Yongsheng gave up his plan to continue filming a sequel.
Wang Jing set up his own film company, Lin Youlun helped him write "The Gambler", and the investment in Wang Jing was Yongsheng, this movie still achieved a box office of more than 38 million when gambling films have become popular, Xiang Huaqiang realized that a good script really has a great impact on the success of the movie.
This time, Xiang Huaqiang originally thought that he would be very satisfied if he could get a script from Lin Youlun, but he didn't expect Lin Youlun to send him such a surprise, not to mention the movies derived, just the promise of 5 to 6 sequels has already made Xiang Huaqiang very excited. With a box office of 30 million per film, the box office of the six films is close to 200 million, excluding the theater share, Yongsheng also has 80 million to 100 million in the account, wait for an extra month or two, in exchange for a movie series that can make a long-term profit, such a condition is opened, Xiang Huaqiang has no way to refuse.

“CUT!”
Er Dongsheng stood up from behind the monitor, pointed at Zheng Yijian, who was filming against Zhang Manyu, and yelled: "I don't want you to be cool, I want an expression, do you understand the expression?" ”
Zheng Yijian stood there and didn't know how to speak, from replacing the injured Jiang Dawei into the crew of "Speed of Life and Death", he basically had to be scolded by Er Dongsheng several times a day, especially when he was playing against Zhang Manyu, a shot often had to shoot several times to pass.
"Okay, take a 10-minute break, and then this scene will be reshot!" Er Dongsheng waved his hand, turned his head and called the assistant director to discuss the matter, and no longer paid attention to Zheng Yijian.
"He's just got this temper, and you'll get used to it." Zhang Manyu comforted Zheng Yijian and said.
Zheng Yijian felt like a child who had done something wrong, touched the back of his head and apologized to Zhang Manyu and said, "It's all my fault, and even Sister Manyu is also affected." ”
Zhang Manyu snorted, covered her mouth and laughed, "Actually, I used to be the same as you, I was often scolded for filming, and I worked very hard to act, but I was still said to be a vase with no acting skills, and then everyone praised me for being enlightened and knowing how to act, in fact, I was scolded a lot, and then I began to know how to reflect on myself, so I am now very grateful to those who scolded me at the beginning." ”
The two were chatting, and the assistant director over there suddenly shouted: "Zheng Yijian, come here!" ”
Zheng Yijian turned around and saw Er Dongsheng, who was still standing next to the assistant director, with an unkind face, and his first feeling was that it was bad, and when the director saw that he and his ex-girlfriend were talking and laughing here, he would definitely be scolded again.
Zhang Manyu didn't say anything, nodded at Zheng Yijian, and then left.
Zheng Yijian walked up to Er Dongsheng and the assistant director, and he was ready to be trained, but he didn't expect the assistant director to tell him that he didn't have to shoot today's scene anymore.
Zheng Yijian was stunned all of a sudden, is this to catch up with the rhythm of his own crew?
Zheng Yijian was kicked out of "The Voice" by Lin Youlun was unlucky enough, if he was kicked out of the crew of "Life and Death" by Er Dongsheng, then he would really be unlucky.
"Director Er, can you give me another chance, I promise to act according to your requirements in the future, please!"
When Er Dongsheng heard this, his face turned white, and he reprimanded angrily: "Did I say I won't let you act?" Today is a half-day vacation for you, and someone wants to see you! (To be continued.) )
