Chapter 21: I'm not as fat as I thought
"Puff cough cough" As soon as Chen Jie's words fell, Xu Jinjiang was drinking, and he coughed out of a mouthful of wine.
"Applejack, what did you say? "Swordsman Love" was written by you! Liu Dehua looked at Chen Jie in surprise.
"Yes, Xingtian is my pen name. "Swordsman Love" is a novel that was bought by Ming Pao a while ago. Chen Jie said.
The classmates all looked at Chen Jie in surprise.
"But didn't you say that your novel didn't sell well!" Liang Jiahui said.
"It's not good, it's only sold for 50 thousand words." Chen Jie said.
"Is there any mistake, such a good novel, let alone 50 words per 1,000 words, is not much than 200 words per 1,000 words." Qi Meizhen complained.
"There's no way, the editor of Ming Pao said that I was a rookie writer and I didn't have any fame, so I was going to give me 20 words for a thousand words. I struggled for a long time before I mentioned 50 words."
"Ming Pao is really stingy." The classmates hugged Chen Jie one after another.
After knowing that "Swordsman Love" is Chen Jie's work, everyone no longer doubts the quality of Chen Jie's script. After some fun, everyone went back to their respective homes. After all, everyone will go back to the training class early tomorrow to see that they will be assigned to that crew. And Chen Jie even asked the crew of "Rogue Emperor" to report for duty.
Early the next morning, Chen Jie packed the manuscript of "****************" of about 100,000 words and sent it to the submission office of Oriental Daily. I came to TVB all the way. After seeing Wang Tianlin, he has been busy serving tea and water by Wang Tianlin's side. After a while, he came to the filming site of "Rogue Emperor" with Wang Tianlin.
In the morning, Chen Jie ran 3 tricks, and the rest of the time has been helping Wang Tianlin.
Wang Tianlin is very strict with the actors, and scolded angrily if he was a little careless. After scolding, he pulled the actor and started to talk about the play, which made Chen Jie learn a lot on the side. The morning passed in a blink of an eye, and the crew's filming did not go well. When it was about to eat at noon, Wang Tianlin once again lost his temper. After scolding the actor, he angrily said that he would not shoot in the morning, shook the script in his hand and walked to the lounge on the set. The assistant director told everyone to take a break and get ready for lunch.
Chen Jie took a bottle of water and walked to Wang Tianlin's lounge. saw Wang Tianlin fighting with the cigarette in his hand alone. Chen Jie stepped forward and handed the water in his hand to Wang Tianlin and said
"Uncle Tianlin dissipates your anger, you are so old, and being angry is not good for your health."
Wang Tianlin glanced at Chen Jie, took the water in Chen Jie's hand and said, "You stinky boy, what are you doing, I'm not afraid of me scolding you!" ”
"I didn't make a mistake, what did Uncle Tianlin scold me for. Besides, I joked so much about Uncle Tianlin yesterday, Uncle Tianlin was not angry, I believe that Uncle Tianlin is not a powder keg, and it will explode at a moment. Chen Jie said with a grin.
Wang Tianlin said after salivaing, "I'm really angry today, but that decrepit boy in my family is really too angry!" ”
"How could it be, Director Wang's "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants" has a box office of more than 5 million not long after it was painted. It's been a long time since Shaw Brothers has had such a high-grossing movie! Uncle Tianlin should be happy! Director Wang inherited your old mantle! Chen Jie said.
"Applejack, you only know one thing, you don't know the other. This kid made a pretty good movie, but because of this, his tail went up to the sky. I thought I had the ability to start playing big names. He himself is a screenwriter of Shaw Brothers, and he wrote a few scripts that were caught in the audience by the station to be filmed, but this kid did not cooperate with the director and producer. People didn't say anything when they gave me some face, originally this "Rogue Emperor" was not a big drama, and I didn't need to guide it personally, but in order to educate and educate the decrepit boy in my family, I asked for the position of director. But this kid is still cheating and playing tricks in front of me. He hasn't arrived yet, the screenwriter, since the start of filming this morning, how can I not be angry. Wang Tianlin said.
"Uncle Tianlin has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." Chen Jie said.
"There's nothing I can't say here!" Wang Tianlin looked at Chen Jie and said.
"Uncle Tianlin, I have learned something about Director Wang, he is a top student who graduated from the Department of Literature of the University of Hong Kong, and later became a screenwriter of Shaw Brothers, and now he finally sang the taste of being a director, and the film shooting is still very successful. proves that Director Wang is indeed a talented person. Since he is a talented person, he is inevitably a little arrogant in his heart. You think that he has been a director and made a box office blockbuster movie, and now let him come back as a director and screenwriter, there must be resistance in his heart! In that case, it's better to let him be the director directly! Chen Jie said.
Wang Tianlin thought for a while and said, "Ajie, what you said has a certain truth, someone who has been a director will indeed be very uncomfortable if he returns to the crew and cooperates with the director as a screenwriter." ”
"And as a talented person, he is conceited, and now Director Wang has made a successful movie, and people will only say that Director Wang is your son. I think if I were Director Wang, I would definitely hope that one day everyone would mention you and say that you are his father. You are now a big mountain in front of him, he can't wait to climb over this mountain, but you always let him come back to be a screenwriter, how can he be willing! Chen Jie invisibly patted Wang Tianlin's ass.
"If you want to surpass me twice, you will have to wait at least another ten years." Wang Tianlin said after listening to Chen Jie's words.
"It will take ten years there, give me a chance and I will definitely surpass you in five years!" Just as Wang Tianlin's words fell, a little fat man walked in and said.
Chen Jie looked at this little fat man carefully, if it weren't for the thick glasses, Chen Jie would almost not recognize it. This is the fat mantis from later. Although he is a little fat, he is much thinner than Wang Jing in Chen Jie's impression. Now it's just a little chubby at best.
Just when Chen Jie looked at Wang Jing, Wang Jing stepped forward and hugged Chen Jie and said, "Confidant, this brother is really my confidant." ”
Chen Jie subconsciously pushed Wang Jing away and said, "Keep your distance, don't let people misunderstand that there is something wrong with my sexual orientation." ”
After listening to Chen Jie's words, Wang Jing hurriedly took a few steps back and said, "My sexual orientation is normal, I'm sorry, I was too excited just now." It's rare to meet someone who understands me so well. Oops, why did Dad beat me. ”
Wang Jing was talking, and Wang Tianlin stepped forward and touched the back of Wang Jing's head.
"You wretched boy, you died this morning! Don't you know what time it turns on! Wang Tianlin said angrily. The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he picked up his arm and was about to whip Wang Jing.
Seeing this, Wang Jing hurriedly dodged, pulled Chen Jie as a shield and said, "Brother, help, the rivers and lakes are in emergency." ”
Chen Jie also hurriedly stepped forward to help persuade, "Uncle Tianlin is angry. ”
Wang Tianlin actually listened to Chen Jie's words just now, and also figured out some questions, but he didn't really want to fight Wang Jing. But he knows his son too well, and he is definitely the kind of faceless and skinless person. Especially when Wang Jing heard Chen Jie's defense for himself, if he didn't think anything had happened now, Wang Jing wouldn't necessarily do too much in the future! That's why I came up to beat Wang Jing to make a show, and Wang Jing of the province kicked his nose and face in the future. At this time, Chen Jie helped persuade the fight, just taking the opportunity to go downhill.
Wang Tianlin gasped a few times, as if he was forcibly suppressing his anger. Chen Jie gave Wang Jing a look on the side. Wang Jing nodded knowingly, picked up the water bottle on the table and said, "Dad, don't be angry, I was wrong today, I promise to report to the crew on time every day from tomorrow." Come and drink saliva to dissipate. ”
Wang Tianlin took the water bottle, glanced at Wang Jing and said, "I know, let you come back to be a screenwriter, you must be uncomfortable." But it's not just about being talented, it's also about networking. How many people have you offended like this! And it's not me talking about you, your current directing skills are still a little worse, and there is a bit of luck in the box office success of "A Thousand Kings and a Thousand Tyrants". If you have Ah Feng's ability now, I will definitely go and get you a position as a director. ”
"It's because I'm still a little bit away from practicing! While I'm a little famous now, there must be people who are willing to invest in me to make movies and practice! Wang Jing said.
"You are a decrepit boy, if you want to be a good director, fame is very important. If you mess up now, who will invest in you in a movie in the future! Wang Tianlin said angrily.
Seeing that the father and son were about to quarrel again, Chen Jie hurriedly said, "Actually, I have an idea. ”
