Chapter 9 Screenwriter Wei Zu
Wei Jiahui? Xiao Ran only felt that his head seemed to explode with a buzz, and then there was a terrible phenomenon of sweating all over. How could he not have heard of this name, Wei Jiahui is now working as a choreographer and director wirelessly, "Rogue Tycoon" and "Xinzha Senior Brother" and "The Condor Heroes" are his works.
These dramas have been quite popular in the past few years, if Xiao Ran said that he didn't know, I am afraid that he would be despised by You Zhihaosheng. Before he could speak, Wei Dongling nodded, and said with an interesting expression: "I've heard this name, it seems to be related to many dramas!" ”
Speaking of which, Wei Dongling's interest in movies is even greater. Of course, Xiao Ran didn't know what Wei Dongling was thinking, and he wasn't interested in knowing. He just forced himself to hold back his excitement and said to You Zhi: "When do you invite him out for dinner, I really want to make a friend!" ”
"That's it!" You Zhi thought about it and knew that Wei Jiahui was resting, so he smiled and said to Xiao Ran: "It's better to choose to say that it's better to hit it, just today!" ”
As soon as the phone call came, the decision was made immediately. This time it wasn't to go to a food stall, Xiao Ran didn't want to greet his idol and half of his master in this way. He once wrote a novel in a dream, and his writing technique was greatly influenced by Wei Jiahui, so how could he not be excited.
Not long after, Wei Jiahui came, and now he is not much different from the queen, perhaps the only difference is that he is relatively thin now, and he has not yet grown a quite attractive mustache.
You Zhi introduced Wei Dongling and Xiao Ran, and they got acquainted with each other for a while, and then the topic began. Wei Jiahui is obviously a very cheerful person, and soon said a happy thing to You Zhi, because of his hard lobbying, Wireless finally decided to get You Zhi back.
After a burst of congratulations, Wei Jiahui knew that Xiao Ran was the screenwriter because he heard You Zhi's introduction just now, so he said to him with a smile: "Since Ah You said that you wrote a very good book, why haven't you joined the film company now?" I think they must be very welcoming to talents like you! ”
"I don't want to be a cheap captive pig!" Xiao Ran chuckled slightly and made a joke, and then said, "I'm not used to that, so it's better to be free!" ”
"I envy you!" Wei Jiahui obviously agreed with Xiao Ran's opinion, and nodded in agreement: "It's better to be free, but it's difficult for someone like me to write dramas!" There is no such concept of freedom at all! ”
"Really?" Xiao Ran smiled mysteriously and glanced at Wei Jiahui with deep meaning, as if he wanted to see his heart, which surprised Wei Jiahui. Xiao Ran picked up the words of the previous man: "TV episodes are completely different from movies, although TVB also makes TV movies, but it is definitely not enough for aspirants to get enough space to show!" ”
If you are someone else, you must be very bored with the topic they are talking about. But Wei Dongling didn't have such an idea, but looked at the two people who were talking with great interest. Wei Jiahui's eyes lit up, and then dimmed: "You're right, the TV station is not the end. However, with contractual constraints, it is difficult to have other ideas! ”
"It doesn't matter, opportunities are always around us, the key depends on whether you are willing or not! Do you want to do that! Of course, Xiao Ran knew that Wei Jiahui wanted to do it very much, because he knew everything in the future, and Wei Jiahui in his dream would cooperate with Du Qifeng in the mid-nineties to found Galaxy Imaging, the most prestigious film company in the post-ninety-seven era.
There are some things that obviously don't need to be said too much, and Wei Jiahui is unwilling to dwell on this topic. Therefore, he immediately changed Gu Zuoyan's right and said: "Mr. Xiao, what do you think is the most important thing in writing a script?" I think we can exchange experiences! ”
"Surprise, surprise wins!" Xiao Ran blurted out without thinking, and when he noticed that something was wrong, he immediately saw Wei Jiahui's strange expression, as well as You Zhi and even Wei Dongling's thoughtful expressions. Xiao Ran knew that he was finished, this point of view, and even this sentence were completely plagiarized from Wei Jiahui, and now he must be exposed.
"Good!" Wei Jiahui suddenly exclaimed: "Mr. Xiao, your words immediately made me think about something that had puzzled me for a long time. It's just like a reader never wants to read a cookie-cutter novel, and so does a movie. You're such a genius, how did you come up with this! ”
The heart that had sunk to the bottom of the sea in an instant immediately lifted up, Xiao Ran was surprised and delighted, and the cold sweat on his body almost flowed down. Only then did he realize that Wei Jiahui was not Wei Zu now, and he had not yet sat in the producer position at Wireless, and of course he had not yet said this sentence that would be regarded as a classic by future screenwriters.
It's just that this feeling of plagiarizing classic views in front of idols still makes Xiao Ran, who has a casual surname, feel extremely embarrassed, and after he scolded himself in his heart for a few shameless and despicable words, he immediately pretended to be ashamed and said: "It's over, Mr. Wei, I think you should call me Ah Ran!" ”
He wanted to fool the second question, but Wei Jiahui was obviously not a person who gave up easily, so he immediately asked with a smile: "Okay, you call me Xiaobao, it's fair in this way." How did you come up with the idea? ”
Xiao Ran can see that although the current Wei Jiahui has a certain beautiful vision for the movie, he obviously doesn't dare to think too much, and many times his thinking stays on the screenwriter. However, he didn't think about it so much now, just turned his head very helplessly, trying to fool the past: "I think, it's hard to say." Have you ever tried to feel like this? When you think about it, you can't think of anything, but just by accident, an inconspicuous thing reminds you of this! ”
"I see!" Wei Jiahui's eyes did show a look of understanding, which made Xiao Ran breathe a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Wei Jiahui would think that he was prevaricating. Wei Jiahui continued thoughtfully: "In Buddhism, this is an epiphany. ”
Buddhist? Xiao Ran suddenly understood the origin of "Big Guy Has Great Wisdom" (Hong Kong name "Big Branch"). This film, which later won the Best Film at the Academy Awards, seems to be co-directed by Wei Jiahui and Du Qifeng on the surface, but Xiao Ran knows that this film implements Wei Jiahui's theme and concept, and can only be regarded as his work. From the current point of view, Wei Jiahui is really influenced by Buddhism.
"I heard you want to make a movie too?" Xiao Ran turned his eyes to Wei Jiahui and asked, "Actually, I think it's okay to do it in the TV station, at least you can train yourself." Such opportunities are not always available every day, as long as you have enough experience, you will naturally be able to make a splash when the time comes! ”
Of course, they don't believe it or not, Xiao Ran doesn't know, but he knows that his ambiguous words will definitely be able to be realized in the future. In 88, Wei Jiahui will be promoted to producer because of his outstanding success, don't underestimate this producer position, you must know that it is the producer who really has the right to direct when filming TV dramas, and the so-called TV series director is just a position like an assistant.
As we all know, Wei Jiahui is very successful as a producer, not to mention other works, just one "Big Era" can make him the greatest figure in the history of wireless. Later, Wei Jiahui and Du Qifeng co-founded Galaxy, and the first few years were indeed quite unsmooth. To put it simply, Xiao Ran laid two long tails in these words.
After continuing to talk for a while, Xiao Ran admired Wei Jiahui's amazing talent, and Wei Jiahui was also amazed by Xiao Ran's amazing judgment and vision. Several people exchanged contact information, agreed to come out together when they were free, and this time they left together.
After returning to Xiaoyaowo, he heard Wei Dongling sigh depressedly: "I really don't know when I will be able to make some achievements!" ”
Xiao Ran smiled heartily, looked at Wei Dongling and said, "I think that no matter what you do, you need to persevere." I think that as long as you can stay in Hong Kong for a few years, you may be very successful, maybe even to a degree that you dare not imagine. ”
Wei Dongling naturally didn't know that Xiao Ran's purpose in saying this was to let him stay, and he couldn't help but have a bitter face after hearing it. In a few years, he was afraid that his sharpness would be exhausted here. There are a few people who can survive a few years of solitude, but those who are talented must have a few years before they have the opportunity to show!
The next day, they said goodbye to You Zhi, who moved back to the dormitory of TVB City, and the three of them knew each other for a short time, but they had some friendship, especially with Xiao Ran, who deliberately made friends, and it was inevitable that they would be a little reluctant at this time. However, Xiao Ran always instructed with bad intentions: "If you don't mix well in wireless and can't realize your ambitions, come to me, I have a way to help you." ”
You Zhi is not as happy as he should be in the wireless, Xiao Ran is not very clear. However, he doesn't think it's necessary for him to know so much, he just needs to know the film ambition in You Zhi's chest. With this, he is sure enough to win You Zhi in the future.
He didn't directly take the high-level route to cast the script this time, and some of the techniques were very targeted. Xu Ke of New Arts City is a leading figure in the new wave of Hong Kong films, and he has to be much more open in some aspects, which is why he succeeded. If this method is copied to Jiahe, the likely surname of failure is at least ninety percent.
Golden Harvest is a veteran film company, relying on Bruce Lee to stand firm and compete with his old club Shaw Brothers in one fell swoop. When he got Cheng Long, he made himself grow faster. Therefore, even fools know that Cheng Long is the girder of Jiahe, and the best shortcut to take the Jiahe route is to get Cheng Long.
After a little inquiry, Xiao Ran knew that his guess was wrong, and Cheng Long had not yet founded Weihe Company. Of course, the entrepreneurial work "Police Story" has not yet been filmed. However, the key at present is how an unknown guy like him can meet Cheng Long!
Among the celebrities he knows now, except for Xu Ke, who is really famous, there is no one else at all. This gave him a headache, and he thought that it was necessary to get himself a big green tree now, otherwise no one would save him if he planted it another day.
It can't be said that Xiao Ran was unprepared for all this, and deliberately got acquainted with Wei Jiahui, Liang Jiahui and You Zhi, just to consider the long-term plan for the future. It's just that at present, he has no name, no power and no money, and he hasn't been here for a long time, so naturally he can't get to know many celebrities.
However, if this is all difficult for Xiao Ran, then he will not be able to wander around in his dreams. He had a last resort, and he would never resort to it until the last minute. This method is to know Cheng Long through Lin Qingxia, Cheng Long can not give face to others, but Lin Qingxia's face, it is difficult for him to pull down his face to refuse.
