Chapter 25: The Forgotten Script
Just when the seven of them were pondering, they suddenly heard the secretary call in and told them that there was a man: Li Yihua, who came to visit everyone by name, which made the seven people who were meditating for a while, I don't know what Li Yihua is doing in Xinyi City?
Mecca is even more curious, although he has been in this circle for several years and has achieved high achievements in the art of film, he has not yet come into contact with a celebrity in the cultural world in history, which makes him curious. He told a few people, and a few people were also curious, thinking that it should be friends in the circle who came to visit, but they couldn't think of what the new writers were doing?
Therefore, several people were curious to meet this "new writer". But when they met, they found out that it was a strange young man, which surprised everyone for a while, and they didn't understand what was going on. Feeling the pressure brought to him by everyone, Li Yihua took a deep breath, and he could feel the doubts in everyone's eyes.
Therefore, Li Yihua faced the suspicion in everyone's eyes, smiled indifferently, looked calm, and said calmly: "I have a script, which has been submitted to your company for nearly three months, and there is no reply, so I will personally ask, to be honest, the secretary must not let me in, it is better to report my name directly, I think this secretary will not stop me!" ”
"Huh? Interesting ......"
Xu Ke was the first to chuckle out loud, and then several people next to him also smiled, it was the first time they saw a person who said his "little plan" in front of his master so confidently. This made them full of curiosity about the young man in front of them with a calm expression and a majestic figure.
"Yo, you're really right, aren't you afraid that I'll ask the security guards to kick you out? If you do this, I can ask the police to arrest you, young man-" Mecca spoke in Cantonese Taishan, his tone was extremely unkind, and he stared at Li Yihua's eyes with interest, his eyes were sharp, and the majesty on his body roared towards Li Yihua, trying to make Li Yihua feel the pressure and show timidity. This trick Mai Jialai tried again and again, and many people were made to change their expressions and be pressured by the momentum deliberately released by him in front of him.
Huang Baiming pushed his glasses and looked at Li Yihua with a smile, as if he was very curious about Li Yihua. The eyes behind his eyes kept staring at Li Yihua, and he was quite interested in Li Yihua in his heart. Shi Tian on the side was more serious and cold, he just raised his eyelids and looked at Li Yihua casually, and then ignored it, not taking Li Yihua seriously at all. Moreover, when Li Yihua said those words just now, he snorted coldly in his heart, and he didn't have a good impression of this man who could only play tricks and talk big.
Zeng Zhiwei, Xu Ke and others all showed friendly and mysterious smiles, and their eyes kept looking Li Yihua up and down, wanting to see something from Li Yihua, but unfortunately, what they saw was still Li Yihua with a calm demeanor, but this had already made several people's eyes shine. You know, not to mention whether the young man in front of him has real materials, just with this calm kung fu, they are impressed. Not everyone can be so calm in front of Mai Jia and them.
"You won't! Because everyone is a person who understands, and everyone is a celebrity, if you drive it away, tomorrow will be the headlines, and in the end you will offend the entire cultural community. Li Yihua looked at Mecca's eyes calmly, and said indifferently. The tone is indifferent, but the words make people feel proud.
Li Yihua knows that the main thing that decides things here is Mecca, to put it mildly, he is the manager of Xinyi City, and the rest of the people are just senior workers. Therefore, Li Yihua still looked at Mai Jia, waiting for his answer.
Now everyone was frowning at Li Yihua's words. Li Yihua's frivolous words made everyone present feel that the young man was really arrogant, but his confident words also aroused their interest enough.
Of course, it is also because they are in urgent need of excellent scripts to enhance the strength of Xinyicheng, otherwise, even if Li Yihua is talented, he may not be appreciated by them, and sometimes, timing is also very important.
Shi boys are very curious about this young man with a restrained temperament, but his eyes are flamboyant and sharp, and the woman's unique sixth sense makes her feel different from the other six men, and she has an indescribable good impression of Li Yihua. After glancing at the eyes of the other six people, and after getting the same answer, he smiled and said, "When did you vote for the script, and what kind of script did you vote for?" Why don't we know anything about it? ”
"I don't know about that, you should ask the staff at your company." Li Yihua shrugged and said he was innocent.
Mecca picked up the company's internal phone and called the editorial department, "Xiao Wang, come to my office." ”
"Boss, you're looking for me." Xiao Wang walked into the office and stood respectfully.
"Xiao Wang, this is Mr. Li Yihua, he said that he submitted a script to our company three months ago, and he has not received a reply yet." Mecca smoked a cigar and said with a big grin.
"I don't know much about this, I need to go back and look it up." Xiao Wang looked at the giant in front of him and said uncertainly.
After a while, Xiao Wang ran over with the script, "I'm sorry, boss, this time it was my mistake, this script was forgotten in the corner, and I just found it." ”
Mecca frowned at the depressed little king, "Put the script down, you can go out." ”
Xiao Wang put down the shabby script and walked out of his office in Mecca. Seven people saw a script bound on 16 sheets of white paper, and saw that the name of the movie "The Queen's Secret Order of the Best Partner" was written on the script in beautiful pen letters.
Li Yihua is more confident in his script, Li Yihua remembers watching these Hong Kong films no less than ten times, and he is usually in the habit of directing professionally, and likes to use paintings to express the content of the script in key places.
Seeing that several people were attracted by their own script, Li Yihua was not in a hurry, just sat there and waited quietly. Things are indeed as Li Yihua expected, several people couldn't help but look at Li Yihua who was sitting there calmly in surprise when they saw such a professional and standardized script, and thought to themselves: This young man won't be a graduate of a foreign film school, right? Is this too professional?
After the seven people read this not very thick script in one go, there was a trace of surprise in their eyes. They originally had a trace of doubts about Li Yihua's script, but after reading it, they could only describe their feelings as shocked. Mecca and Shi Tian were surprised that the commercial elements of this film were so strong, and it was definitely a good blockbuster. And Huang Baiming, Zeng Zhiwei, and Teddy Robin lamented the whimsy of this script, which made the three of them a little dumbfounded. I can't understand how this young man in front of him could have such an unbelievable idea. As for Tsui Hark, he has a feeling of finding a soulmate in his heart. Although Tsui Hark is fond of martial arts, this film inherits the ** tide and writes it commercially, which makes his heart throb suddenly, and the outline of a film slowly forms in his heart, showing the image in his mind.
"What do you think? Let's talk about it. ”
Mecca quietly threw the question to several other people, and he was a little careful about Li Yihua in his heart, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Li Yihua was a talent and might be used by him.
"Very good script, undeniable, very suitable for our company to shoot, and the box office will be very good!" Xu Ke doesn't pay much attention to business matters, he only cares about the quality of the script, so he took the lead in saying the answer in his heart very freely.
Xu Ke was not good at negotiating and doing business in later generations, and relied on his wife Shi Nan many times. Seeing Tsui Hark speak, Li Yihua took a serious look at this arrogant and untamed film master in later generations, thin and tall, with eyes like torches, with a sheep's beard, and his eyes always flashed with strange lights, this is Tsui Hark, Xu Lao Wei! Looking at this old monster Xu like later generations, Li Yihua couldn't help but show a smile, for Xu Laowei, Li Yihua is very respectful, Tsui Hark's film business and artistic surname have a good expression, it can be said that he is the pioneer of Hong Kong films.
