031 Half a foot into the film industry
After saying goodbye to Zhang Jin and others that night, Du Qifeng returned home and stayed awake all night, tossing and turning over and over about quitting "City Special Police".
After all, making movies is not a one-person thing, Xu Ke has already made several sets of films, and took them to Taiwan to deceive a large amount of investment, among which many filmmakers are willing to invest because of Du Qifeng's excellent control in "Eight Star Annunciation".
Once Du Qifeng withdraws, it is conceivable that those filmmakers who support him will also withdraw their funds immediately, and Xu will never agree.
Since listening to Zhang Jin's words, Du Qifeng is very unoptimistic about the prospects of this experimental film, he would rather not shoot it than mess up the title of "hot director", let alone ......
So after dawn, Du Qifeng went directly to the film studio to have a showdown with Xu Ke, and sure enough, Xu Ke was furious on the spot, and even said a few ugly words in an impulsive tone, which made Du Qifeng even more determined to withdraw from the group.
It didn't take long for Huang Baiming, the boss of Xinyicheng, to kill, Du Qifeng also thought that the boss was going to come to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, but Lao Huang just comforted him a few words, and persuaded him not to be angry with Xu Laowei, this cooperation could not be successful, and he could find another opportunity Yunyun, and before leaving, he also said that if he had a good book, he could start the play immediately.
Lao Du was grateful at the time, and directly took Boss Huang to the bar to drink, and then tossed a drunk outside, and said before parting that he would live up to the boss's high expectations and would find a book to start a play as soon as possible.
So as soon as he heard that Zhang Jin had a script, Lao Du immediately came to read the script.
At first, Du Qifeng didn't take "Ah Lang's Story" seriously, but just read it with the idea of helping Huang Baiming recommend a good script, after all, Xinyicheng is famous for playing tragic literary films in the Xiangjiang film industry.
And "Autumn Fairy Tale" performed well at last year's Golden Horse Awards, winning six nominations and winning the Best Actor Award, and also won seven nominations at this year's Academy Awards, and it is the favorite to win the championship sought after by major media.
But after Du Qifeng read the script, he immediately adapted this idea, the script is very simple, that is, a prodigal son eloped with a rich girl, and then gave birth to a smart and lovely son, ten years later, the rich girl wanted to take away custody, and the prodigal son re-embarked on the chariot for family affection and love, and decided to die for love.
Out of the director's keen sense, Du Qifeng quickly unearthed some unusual feelings behind the script, which is a film about the cruelty of youth, with an incredible truth, showing people a story full of violence, tears, mistakes, regrets, hope and despair.
If the actors are selected properly, coupled with my coaching ability, the results should be similar to "Autumn Fairy Tale".
Looking at it, Du Qifeng was a little moved, and there was an urge to do a sub-shot immediately.
The changes before and after Du Qifeng, Zhang Jin naturally saw it in his eyes, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he hurriedly asked: "Brother Feng, how is it?" ”
"Jinzai, this book is good, you can do it." When Du Qifeng raised his head, his face was serious, "Don't you mind if I take it back to Boss Huang?" ”
"No problem!" Zhang Jin said generously: "The script is written for people to see, and I believe in my own ability, Boss Huang will like it." ”
"The boss can see the best nature, and I will help you get the highest price." Du Qifeng carefully put the script into the briefcase, and then said, "Do you have any other requirements, I will tell the boss along with them." ”
"I want the right to write the screenplay." Zhang Jin rarely said seriously that the money can be less, but the screenwriter must be his name.
Du Qifeng nodded, "Don't worry, Xinyicheng is also one of the top three film companies in Hong Kong, and it won't do anything out of the ordinary." ”
Zhang Jin said in his heart that he hoped so, and then said: "If you want to be brilliant at the box office, you need to have a big name starring, the Ah Lang in my mind is Zhou Runfa, and Bobo is Zhang Aijia, of course, you have the final say on who you use, this is just a little hope for me." ”
"Your vision is poisonous enough, Brother Fa is in the limelight, and Sister Zhang is also a powerful faction, and the salary of these two alone is not a small amount." Du Qifeng smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Okay, I'll try my best to convey it to you." ”
Watching the taxi go away, Zhang Jin clenched his fist and hit it twice, it was done, it was half a foot into the film industry, as long as Lao Du gave him a little strength, "Ah Lang's Story" would definitely not be able to run away, hehe, he could still sell Lao Du a favor, and it shouldn't be much of a problem to pull him as a director in the future.
After returning to the house, Zhang Jin found that he had been excited, and he couldn't calm down at all to play "The Peerless Double Pride", scratching and scratching like a cat's paw, well, it was similar to writing tens of thousands of words for the editor to review in his previous life.
All kinds of worries, all kinds of seven up and eight down, grinding in front of the typewriter for an afternoon, stunned that half a word didn't come out, and the taste was so sour.
If Chen Shaohua hadn't informed him to move, he wouldn't have known how long the egg would hurt.
Zhang Jin had very few things, a bedding, a few changes of clothes, and a few pairs of outdated shoes, and all his belongings were not worth as much as the typewriter, so it was easy to move.
"Master, you are also very simple, just a little belongings, you are also a TVB contract screenwriter, how can you do it without a few clothes."
Zhang Jinle said: "Poor, it's like you sitting in a three-story apartment building, and the rent alone is tens of thousands of yuan per month." ”
Chen Shaohua ignored his run, "When the bonus is paid this month, I'll help you buy a few, it's a ...... Apprenticeship. ”
"Yo, yes, yes, you know how to honor Master."
"Hmph, this is the shortlist of this year's Academy Awards, if it is done tonight, I will consider honoring you more." Chen Shaohua's eyebrows were full of cunning.
Zhang Jin sighed and said: "Hey, I know that there is no free lunch in the world, I really want to be an apprentice like you, others cheat father, you are a pit master!" ”
"Why!" Chen Shaohua quibbled, "You always say something very ...... Very strange words. ”
Zhang Jin moved to a "new home", and it was inevitable that he would warm the pot, but unfortunately he knew few people, only the charter wife and Chen Shaohua came over to make a scene.
After dinner, Zhang Jin and Chen Shaohua began to toss the strategy of the 7th Academy Awards.
During this period, Chen Shaohua found that Zhang Jin was always absent-minded, and he was impatient when he was a master, so he was busy going to his house to get soda and fruit, and he was waiting for delicious food and drink.
In fact, how did she know that Zhang Jin only has one thing in mind now: Lao Du, can you do it, don't put your buddy's plan to enter the big screen on hold!
Yes, with this kind of heart-wrenching virtue, it's strange that you can concentrate on your work.
--Uh, late update. Cheekily ask for recommendation votes, give a few, don't waste it.
