Chapter 22 Planning
"Of course not!" Although Lu Yan was surprised, he immediately replied categorically. What is the reason, do you need him to say more? The reason why he refused Huang Baiming's invitation at the beginning, he Xu Hark must have known it. It's just that Lu Yan really didn't expect his dream to come so soon, and he was even a little overjoyed.
Lu Yan's voice trembled slightly, and Tsui Hark smiled kindly: "Yan Zai, making a movie is not so simple. You know, you don't even have a script! ”
"Who said I don't have a script, I ......" Lu Yan suddenly realized that he had lost his words, and paused and said: "I actually have an idea a long time ago, can Director Xu take a look at it then?" ”
"Oh?" Tsui Hark was very surprised, looked at Lu Yan and said, "I didn't expect Ah Yan that you still have talent in this area, why didn't you write the script earlier and bring it over for me to see." ”
"I also conceived it some time ago, and when the time comes, I'll give you a look at it after I've written and polished it, and check it for me." At this moment, Lu Yan has decided to write "The True Colors of Heroes" in his heart, and I believe that Tsui Hark will definitely support him in filming this film at that time.
Looking at Lu Yan's confident appearance, Tsui Hark couldn't help but ask curiously: "Yan Zai, it seems that you are very confident in your script!" What is the theme? ”
"The shootout film is about brotherhood! It's going to be a lot hollow now, director, just wait for my script. Lu Yan didn't say much, but only deduced that it was for Tsui Hark to wait for the script.
"Good, good! If you want to be mysterious, I'm looking forward to it. However, since it is a shootout movie, there will be no shortage of funds at that time. So be it! After you write the script, give it to me, and I will also let Mai Jia and Huang Baiming read it. If it's suitable, I don't think Boss Lei will be stingy. ”
Tsui Hark's casual words made Lu Yan grateful. He didn't expect that he was just saying an idea, and he asked Tsui Hark to be so concerned about this matter.
"But Yanzai, don't be in a hurry. The script has to be written, and the bet on the three films is not a joke. I have a script in hand right now, and I'm ready to start filming right away. This time, the director and producer are all myself, you can make a plan for me! Probably because he was afraid that Lu Yan would misunderstand, Tsui Hark immediately followed: "I just said that you should be the director, it's not a lie, don't think about it." There isn't much time left in the year, so I'm planning to make this film. Regardless of the box office, the first film of our 'film studio' will be handed over to you at the beginning of next spring! You take this script back and read it first, and if you have any comments, you can talk to me directly......"
This news did make Lu Yan a little cold, but he still understood Tsui Hark. After all, the 'film studio' has only officially been established, and it stands to reason that the first film should be shot by Tsui Hark. What's more, he didn't have a chance to show his skills according to his ideas in Xinyi City, and now that he has the opportunity, how can he miss it.
In fact, Lu Yan didn't expect one thing, that is, Tsui Hark was actually escorting himself. It's not that Tsui Hark doesn't believe Lu Yan, it's just that if the box office failure of the first work is a major blow to him or Lu Yan. Directed and filmed by himself, he is still confident that he will be able to fight at the box office. When Lu Yan wants to make his own film, he will get a lot more help, whether it is in terms of financial or human support.
Because of this, Lu Yan took the script handed by Tsui Hark without complaint and nodded: "Director Xu, don't worry!" Speaking of which, it's also a valuable experience for me to learn more from you! ”
"Hehe, you kid, don't give me a flamboy. I've almost finalized the actors, but I haven't talked about the actor yet. This task is up to you. How's that, no problem, right? If you can please him, I'll count on you. Tsui Hark made a little joke with Lu Yan before he became serious and said: "As the pioneering work of our 'film studio', this film is very important to us. It's a pity that the time is too tight, and I need to rush to shoot when the time comes. We're all going to have to work hard......"
"Hmm! Director, you're deliberately putting pressure on me! Who is the choice for the leading actor? Of course, Lu Yan understands that this is Tsui Hark's opportunity to give himself, and he must know that as a director, talking about actors in person is also a crucial step.
"See for yourself!"
opened the script called "Shanghai Night", and the starring list on the first page immediately caught Lu Yan's eyes.
"Director, you actually chose Brother B! I liked listening to the songs of the Wenner band very much......" Lu Yan saw Zhong Zhentao's three words, and the 'chic brother' immediately appeared in his mind.
Tsui Hark nodded and said with a smile: "Ah Bzai is very good at acting in comedy, and "Seven Wrong Loves" was very good at the beginning. And this role is really suitable for him, so I decided to use him. Now, though, he seems to be filming at Shaw Brothers. If you can say it, it's a great achievement. ”
"Director, you're really giving me a big problem. I was a little bit of a field keeper and had so much work. Now as a planner, you still let me pull the actors. Lu Yan pretended to complain and smiled: "If I invite Brother B this time, you will have to give me a salary increase." ”
"You, you came to me and pretended. Since you say so, then I'll let someone else do it. ”
"Don't, director. If I don't get a salary increase, I'll contact you right away. Lu Yan saw Tsui Hark's playful expression, and immediately laughed.
Tsui Hark looked at Lu Yan with interest and said, "To be honest, if you didn't want to be a director, I really wanted to have you as the protagonist." Tsk, it's a shame that you look like this. When the time comes, if you don't have enough manpower, you'll have to run the game yourself. No wonder Michelle will ...... with you."
"Ahem! Director, you're squeezing labor. I'll go first, and I'll contact Brother B about it. After finishing speaking, Lu Yan immediately broke out of the door. The gossip topic behind Tsui Hark can make him unable to parry.
Seeing Lu Yan fleeing in the wilderness, Tsui Hark scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy! ”
Lu Yan, who left Tsui Hark's office, thought about this new film instead. Judging from the cast list, the heroine is actually the heroine of "Best Partner: The Queen's Secret Order" - Zhang Aijia. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this choice. The current Zhang Aijia is indeed one of the top candidates for the heroine of Hong Kong comedy.
According to Tsui Hark's meaning, "Shanghai Night" must be filmed. It seems that it will also be released during the Spring Festival. In addition to escorting "The Best Partner: The Queen's Secret", there is also a suspicion of using this film to increase the box office.
Either way, I'm really going to be busy again. However, after thinking of this "Shanghai Night", Lu Yan, who could shoot "The True Color of Heroes", suddenly became full of pride.
"This is the last time, and the next time I start fighting for myself." Lu Yan stood at the gate of Xinyi City and waved his fist violently.
