Chapter 545. Wow, "The Grandmaster"

readx;

Chen Xiaotang is very satisfied with his makeup skills and acting skills, and looks, he comes and goes freely surrounded by paparazzi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is comparable to the ancient thief hero "Yizhimei", but people's "Yizhimei" is to rob the rich and help the poor, but he is to "steal incense and steal jade".

Back at Magic Shadow Entertainment Company, as soon as Chen Xiaotang sat down, he saw his female secretary Ye Zimei walk in, saying that two people came to him early in the morning and wanted to recommend themselves as directors.

Chen Xiaotang was surprised, he never thought that he had made bold remarks at the celebration banquet before, saying that he was thirsty for love and hoped that people with lofty ideals would come to join.

It's just that it's cheap and not good, what kind of talents will these two guys who came out of their own be? !

But soon, Chen Xiaotang knew the answer.

Three minutes later, when Chen Xiaotang saw the two in his office, he was a little hard to believe, because one of these two guys was "Grape" Liu Zhenwei and the other was "King of Sunglasses" Wang Jiawei!

They were not introduced by people inside the Shadow Company, but they heard the "rumors" by chance, Shadow Entertainment is recruiting, they are considering that Shadow Entertainment is an emerging film company, and the development prospects are very good, the most important thing is that the two of them have been unable to open the pot for almost a month, so they came upside down, and called it "Mao Sui self-recommendation", in fact, it was to beg for food.

Looking at the two "great gods" in front of him, Chen Xiaotang was overjoyed. What is called "pie in the sky", this is it! And it was still a big bunch of grapes!!

Obviously, these two famous directors and screenwriters in their previous lives were a little restrained when they saw Chen Xiaotang, and the muscles on their faces were tense as if they had never done a horse killing a chicken.

Chen Xiaotang smiled and said to them: "Sit, don't be restrained!" The two of them fell into the chair.

Don't look at Chen Xiaotang's amiable face, full of spring breeze. But Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei both know that the person in front of them is not only a singer. In addition to the actors, they are also well-known movie bosses, so talented, no matter how much the two of them think they are talented, they can't help but be overshadowed, so the two of them don't dare to show the slightest bit of talent, they don't have that confidence.

"Let's talk about your intentions first, and I can arrange a good position for the two of you." Chen Xiaotang asked straight to the point.

"Ahem. Mainly, that's it. We heard that the development momentum of Magic Shadow Entertainment is very good, and we are recruiting again, so we came to join with a learning attitude, and I hope that Mr. Chen, you can give us a chance to make a little contribution to Magic Shadow Entertainment. ”

I don't know how long Liu Zhenwei has memorized this line, but even if he says it like this, he still stumbles. After all, young talents like them rarely have such a low profile.

Chen Xiaotang laughed after listening to it. He poured tea for the two of them, and then said, "I can't ask for you to join our Demon Shadow." Especially a director like you, Mr. Wang. There's no one on the comedy trail who can beat it......"

Liu Zhenwei was a little suspicious, "Ahem, Boss Chen." I don't seem to have said what I'm good at, so why don't you ......?"

Only then did Chen Xiaotang realize that he was quick to talk for a while, and almost exposed the bottom of the "grapes". "Hehe, seeing that you look chubby and very festive, wouldn't it be a pity not to take the comedy route?" Chen Xiaotang half-jokingly. "What's more, Hong Kong movies are now comedy, people like to watch them, and they are willing to watch them, so we should fulfill everyone's wishes, right?"

Chen Xiaotang's words seemed to make a lot of sense, so that Liu Zhenwei was speechless and could only nod.

Chen Xiaotang turned around and said to Wang Jiawei: "As for you, Mr. Wang Jiawei ......"

Wang Jiawei, who was secretly trying to take a sip of tea, hurriedly spit out the tea leaves that had reached his mouth, and sat precariously to listen to what Chen Xiaotang said.

"I'm not too familiar with you, but I just know that you are a very good screenwriter, do you think you can do it as a director?" Chen Xiaotang is simply farting. Wang Jiawei: Is he unfamiliar with it? **! It was because he was too familiar that Chen Xiaotang felt a headache.

You must know that the "King of Sunglasses" also has a nickname called "King Mo", he can grind for five or six years in a play, not to mention anything else, let's just say that in his previous life, he had been grinding for the longest time "The Grandmaster", this drama has been filmed for more than ten years! It can be called the first difficult birth drama in the Chinese-speaking world! There are constantly rumors that this drama is about to be released, but wait, wait, wait, wait until my children are almost seven or eight years old, and I haven't seen the shadow of this drama yet; So much so that even Wang Jiawei himself had to say self-deprecatingly that this drama should be renamed "A Generation Missing".

In this play, Wang Jiawei broke his own slow record and created the longest shooting cycle of slow film in history, which lasted 13 years from conception to final presentation. Liang Chaowei said that the battle in the rain on the poster took 30 days to shoot. Zhao Benshan said that he went to the crew ten times and filmed a scene. Zhang Ziyi said that the snow scene in the film was filmed for two years.

It is said that "The Grandmaster" was actually completed three years ago. At the night banquet, Wei Zai, Xiao Zhang and others finally breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the wine, Wang Jiawei suddenly became possessed by He Baorong, and said in a quiet voice: It's better for us to do it all over again.

Although it is said that slow work produces fine work, slow work can't produce box office.

Especially freaks like Wang Jiawei, who are extremely tall in art, especially leading Hong Kong films to win numerous awards in the international film industry. is a dwarf at the box office, and few dramas are profitable, even the most successful "In the Mood for Love" has a box office of only 30 million.

You say, how does Chen Xiaotang deal with a freak like this?

If you turn him away, then Chen Xiaotang will look stupid, after all, people can't help you make money, but they can help you win awards, and you can also drag it on the Cannes red carpet in the future.

What's more, the relationship between "Grape" Liu Zhenwei and the King of Sunglasses is super iron, and "The King of Grinding" failed at the box office that year. Liu Zhenwei not only spent eight days filming "East Becomes West" to support Wang Jiawei, but also handed over the money he earned from making other comedies to Wang Jiawei to make up for it. For the sake of this friendship, many years later, Gao Lao (Liu's affectionate name for Wang) called Xiaopang (Wang's affectionate name for Liu), asked for his bank account number, and wrote him a check. Since the beginning of "The True Story of A Fei", almost all of Liu Zhenwei's movies have been tirelessly paying tribute to Wang Jiawei, which shows that the "basic feelings" between the two are full of words. Therefore, Chen Xiaotang has reason to believe that if he drives the king of sunglasses away, it is estimated that the grapes will also leave.

Chen Xiaotang would not do such a stupid thing. So Chen Xiaotang made a false move and said: "As for you, I'm not very familiar with your directing skills, do you feel that you can do it?" ”

What a skill to say, originally Wang Jiawei's current identity is mainly a screenwriter, not a director, Chen Xiaotang asked him if it was OK to be a director, how did he answer......

But Wang Jiawei is not subtle at all, "I feel like a director...... Not bad! ”

I'm dizzy, what do you mean it's okay?!

The answer given by Wang Jiawei made someone very painful.

originally thought that the king of sunglasses would be humble, saying that he would start as a screenwriter, study hard, and make progress every day until he practiced the basic skills before becoming a director. Chen Xiaotang can borrow the slope to get off the donkey, arrange his position as a screenwriter first, and keep him in captivity, and when the magic shadow is really rich, he will throw tens of millions of dollars for him to play, shoot as long as he wants, even if he can pee mud, as long as he can win the award. But now......

"Ahem, Mr. Wang, I was deeply surprised by your confidence---- but it doesn't matter, if you want to start any play, just write the script for me to see for yourself. There are absolutely no restrictions on the subject matter, you can shoot how you want! ”

Since he can't stop the "King of Sunglasses" from being the director and making great strides to the throne of the "King of Grinding", Chen Xiaotang simply let go, girl, give you a chance, you can shoot how you want, but you need to bring me the script!

You must know that the king of sunglasses is famous for not wanting a script for filming, he can shoot wherever he wants, and he can travel to the eight extremes on the set, and his soul is too empty.

But in fact, people think that Wang Jiawei does not use a script for filming, which is a misunderstanding. He just lacks a script to work with, not a complete story. He writes screenwriting from the perspective of a director, and he knows what he has gained and lost, and has long gone beyond the traditional film industry program. At the story level, he tends to look for dramatic contradictions in the subtleties of simple things, and his storyline is what the artist calls a "minimalist" plot.

Chen Xiaotang knew this precisely because he asked him to show him the "script", which is not too much according to the tradition of Hong Kong film companies.

Wang Jiawei glanced at Chen Xiaotang and nodded, agreeing with his suggestion. With the script as the reins, Chen Xiaotang thinks that he can still control this wild horse who likes to be whimsical.

"But don't worry, I'm recruiting troops to do a big job, and it's an opportunity for you to join the Shadow Shadow." Chen Xiaotang's confident appearance quickly calmed down the emotions of the two: "I promise, as long as you are in the Shadow for a day, there will definitely be a play, and there will be a chance to win an award!" ”

Chen Xiaotang's idea is not complicated, he plans to let Wang Jiawei open "Mong Kok Carmen" next year, as for Liu Zhenwei, if you can, you can try to shoot some comedies first to explore the way.

In addition, Chen Xiaotang also has a grand wish, that is, to kill all the well-known directors in Hong Kong in the future, form a unique director department of Magic Shadow, and then release good films one after another, dominate the future Academy Awards, and even form a situation of encirclement and annihilation of other companies' films, encircling and annihilating their films. As long as he is given another two years, the company will be able to have enough influence in the film industry.

It's not that he doesn't want to start a play for these two cattle people right away, but the time has not yet come, these two don't have their own style at all, especially Wang Jiawei needs to be carefully polished. It can be said that everything still needs a transition process, and nothing can be achieved overnight.

Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei glanced at each other and were impressed by Chen Xiaotang's impassioned speech. Then Liu Zhenwei said: "Ahem, boss, I heard that you said before that if anyone introduces someone to come, you will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan?" You see, in fact, Wang Jiawei was introduced by me......"

Chen Xiaotang was dizzy.

Liu Zhenwei is also very shy, it's not that he likes this little money, but he really doesn't have the money to open the pot! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
