Chapter 37: Mr. Zombie
In the hotel, Han Ziguang led Guan Zhilin, Wu Yusen, Liu Guanwei and Lin Zhengying to the private room of the restaurant.
Lin Zhengying was originally going to attend Hong Jingbao's celebration party, but he came here with Liu Guanwei, and Han Ziguang's courtesy to him, to be honest, flattered him, after all, in addition to being an action director, he was just playing tricks in Hong Jingbao's movies.
"Mr. Han! I don't know what kind of movie you're planning to make, and let me be the action director? Lin Zhengying said a little nervously.
Lin Zhengying is just thirty-one years old this year, which is the year of his establishment, and to be honest, he also feels that he needs to have a career of his own, but unfortunately he basically has nothing to achieve except as an action director, which makes him quite disappointed. Now, Han Ziguang has found himself and wants to give himself the opportunity to star in a movie, which makes Lin Zhengying feel like he is suddenly dreaming, to be honest, as a person in the film industry, who doesn't want to be the protagonist in a movie?
"Oh! A-Ying, don't be nervous, by the way, for me, you are an old-timer in the film industry! Han Ziguang smiled slightly, gestured to Wu Yusen, and then said with a smile: "This is a hero film, in which a lot of firearms will be used, so, I hope you can design it as appropriate, in general, how to look good, specifically, you should communicate more with Director Wu!" â
Han Ziguang watched Wu Yusen take out the script of "The True Colors of Heroes", mainly because of the outline he gave and then continued to extend, itself "The True Colors of Heroes" is a story about brotherhood, but all the characters in the play are flesh and blood, making the characters look more full and heroic.
The script of "The True Colors of Heroes" has basically been revised many times, and every time Han Ziguang reads it, he will sketch it in the places that he feels unreasonable, and then some people get together to discuss, and then revise and fill in, it can be said that the script of "The True Colors of Heroes" is the hard work of Quanguang Entertainment Company.
"Director Liu! Now let's talk about your script first. Han Ziguang watched the rise of Wu Yusen and Lin Zhengying's chat, and couldn't help but turn his eyes to Liu Guanwei, to be honest, he felt that Liu Guanwei was also a talent, especially good at making zombie movies, and said with a smile: "If I can, I can invest." â
"Yes...... Be! Mr. Han! Liu Guanwei swallowed, and then began to tell the story of his script.
Han Ziguang listened to it for a while, and felt that there was no difference between it and the "Mr. Zombie" in his memory, and knew that this was Lin Zhengying's famous work.
"Director Liu! I don't want to say much, but don't you think the characters in the script are a bit out of priority? Han Ziguang pondered for a while, and said to Liu Guanwei: "In the movie "Mr. Zombie", in fact, the real protagonist should be Uncle Nine and the zombie, and some unnecessary scenes will be a little loose, for example, there are more scenes of Qiusheng and Wencai. â
Liu Guanwei blinked, feeling that he had to explain it clearly, and said, "Qiusheng and Wencai are mainly to liven up the atmosphere and lead to the plot. â
"I know! But this will be too long, and the audience is more willing to see how Uncle Nine catches zombies, rather than watching how his apprentice picks up girls! Han Ziguang glanced at Liu Guanwei and continued: "If you shoot according to your script, there will be a lot more unnecessary scenes, but it is better to create more horror and funny atmosphere, and regard the character of Uncle Nine as the absolute protagonist, and the two apprentices are more responsible for the funny storage zĂ i." â
Han Ziguang also has a basis for saying this, he is from later generations, and naturally understands that the movie "Mr. Zombie" is Lin Zhengying, and the roles of Wencai and Qiusheng surpass Uncle Jiu, but they are still robbed of the limelight by Uncle Jiu, so it seems that the scenes of Qiusheng and Wencai are unnecessary.
In fact, the main highlight of the movie "Mr. Zombie" is Uncle Nine catching zombies, too many scenes are narrated on the two apprentices, but it seems that there is no distinction between priority and priority, and the most important thing is a waste of money, in his previous life, he knew that the cost of "Mr. Zombie" increased from six million to eight million. The local box office of "Mr. Zombie" is only 20 million, and the producer itself did not make much money, but it was all made by the theater, but it sold well in other cities.
Originally! When the movie "Mr. Zombie" was made, both Golden Harvest and Hong Jingbao were ready to lose money, who knew that the response in Treasure Island was not bad, and it was finally released in Xiangjiang, and finally achieved a box office of 20 million, but compared to the investment of 8 million, he didn't make much money at all, so if he invested, he tried to reduce the funds as much as possible, and try to compress it within the box office of 5 million, that is, it was earned.
"But...... But in this case, I'm afraid the audience won't buy it! Liu Guanwei was still a little hesitant, because he knew that Han Ziguang planned to play Lin Zhengying as Uncle Jiu in this "Mr. Zombie", but Lin Zhengying is a completely newcomer, how can he afford to be the leader? He said worriedly: "Now Xiangjiang movies, if there are no big names, they can't sell well, and it is impossible to sell them at a good price in other cities." â
"Iron still needs its own hardness, I believe I don't need to force big names to join, as long as the story is good, the audience will also buy it." Han Ziguang smiled and said: "Director Liu, I hope you can revise the script again during this time, and when the filming of "The True Color of Heroes" is completed, you can form a crew." â
"But ......" Liu Guanwei was still a little uneasy and hesitated.
"But what? The boss's words were very clear. Guan Zhilin couldn't stand it anymore, and glanced at Liu Guanwei and said, "Why are you so dead-eyed?" Do you think the boss can't see it? The boss has been shortlisted for the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes International Film Festival, do you think that in this case, the boss is not qualified to let you revise the script? You can change whatever the boss tells you to do, and what the boss said must be right. â
Liu Guanwei was a little speechless when Guan Zhilin said, and at the same time, he was even more shocked that Han Ziguang was shortlisted for the Cannes International Film Festival, which is really surprising, how old is Han Ziguang? In this regard, he could only nod and admit that Han Ziguang was indeed qualified to let him change the script.
"Jiahui! Don't be rude. Han Ziguang glared at Guan Zhilin, but touched Guan Zhilin's jade hand under the table, which was regarded as comforting Guan Zhilin's affection, and he continued: "Director Liu, put the big-name problem you said, and let me play the role of that literary talent when you turn around, so it's all right!" â
Han Ziguang took the initiative to ask to reduce the role of Wencai and Qiusheng, and now Han Ziguang is willing to play the role of Wencai, that is, he is willing to act as a green leaf, naturally no one will say anything, and with Han Ziguang's current popularity, it will inevitably be very high, and it is not inevitable that it will be a big sale.
