Chapter 23: Script
"Hey, what are you bringing her to my house for?" Wang Jin poked Li Xuan who was standing next to him with his finger dissatisfied, this guy actually brought the chick to his house.
Li Xuan looked at Zhong Chuhong, who was chatting happily with Wang Jin's wife in the living room, and pursed his lips, and said while cutting the carrots on the cutting board: "Who told you to run away!" Now it's up to you how you run, leaving me alone. Now you run, you can run, the monk can't run the temple! ”
"I'll go, I'm creating a chance for you to be alone, you really bite Lu Dongbin!" Wang Jinyizheng defended his words.
Li Xuan had always been unable to talk about him, so he had to reply hatefully: "You can find a reason for everything, and you are too lazy to tell you." He also said that his brother and sister told you to go home for dinner, why are the two of us cooking now? ”
"It's not the two of us who do it, who does? Do you want a pot-bellied woman to cook for you? Can you bear it? Wang Jin looked at Li Xuan with disdain and said.
Li Xuan stopped talking, and directly put down the kitchen knife in his hand and gave Wang Jin two middle fingers.
"By the way, what about your dad?" Li Xuan, who had never seen Wang Tianlin at home, asked.
This time, Wang Jin was even more unhappy, and said in an unkind tone: "That old man, don't take me to the party in Clear Water Bay." Really, don't you think I'm my own son. ”
"Haha" Li Xuan was happy, patted Wang Jin on the shoulder and said, "Just because you are Uncle Wang's own son, he won't take you there." There are so many beautiful women on the beach, what should you do if you lose face at that time? ”
", it's January, where are the beauties on the beach!" Wang Jin glared at Li Xuan viciously and corrected his mistake.
"Hmph" Li Xuan didn't bother to say more, he didn't know who this guy was, sneered, picked up the kitchen knife and cut off a large piece of carrot.
Seeing Li Xuan ignoring him, Wang Jin couldn't hold it back, and asked while pulling the soup in the pot with a spoon, "Are you really going to make a movie?" What are you going to shoot? Is the script written, I guess you don't have enough money. ”
Now he asked Li Xuan's difficulty, and Li Xuan was so worried that he almost cut his hand. Putting down the kitchen knife in his hand, Li Xuan frowned and said, "I have a clue, I'll go back and think about it later." In five or six days, I can get another manuscript fee, 50,000 yuan, save a little, it should be possible. Li Xuan was not sure about this last sentence.
"Hey......" Wang Jin sighed, and the shovel that had been paddling in the pot in his hand slowed down, probably remembering what happened to him, and said slowly: "You said that you write novels well, and you get so much money every day, which is higher than my screenwriter, why do you have to make movies." ”
"Go, then you have done a good job as a screenwriter, and your family doesn't have to worry about food and drink, why do you want to be a director?" Li Xuan looked at Wang Jin with disdain and said.
"I'm going to make a lot of money!"
"Then I'm going to make a lot of money too!" Li Xuan replied without showing weakness.
"Two vulgar men!" A vicious comment suddenly turned from behind, and Li Xuan looked back and saw Zhong Chuhong standing at the door of the kitchen with Wang Jin's wife in his arms. Wang Jin's wife had a smile on her face, but Zhong Chuhong, the little girl, looked at them with contempt, what she said just now.
"How is that not vulgar?" Li Xuan squinted his eyes and asked, "Could it be for the cause?" Isn't that different? ”
"You ......" Zhong Chuhong, who was choked up, obviously couldn't say Li Xuan.
Li Xuan picked up the kitchen knife again and began to cut the carrots, shaking his head while cutting and saying, "Money and beauty, career and love, aren't they the same." ”
"You ......" Zhong Chuhong, who was choked again, didn't want to stay here anymore, so she helped Wang Jin's wife and walked out, saying as she walked: "Sister, go." When we go out and spend a little more time with them, I feel like I've become dirty. ”
"Sister?" Li Xuan glanced back, this chick is really familiar, and she recognized her sister so quickly. No matter, his carrot hasn't been cut yet, as soon as he slashed it, Li Xuan saw Wang Jin smirking on his face, and hurriedly asked, "Why are you smiling so deceitfully?" ”
"Ah, it's nothing, I just think the soup I cooked today is delicious!" Wang Jin was stunned for a moment, and quickly found an excuse to cover it up, and said that he really took a spoon and scooped a mouthful of soup and tasted it.
Defect! Li Xuan glanced at Wang Jin with disdain, turned around and continued to cut his carrot, what a big carrot.
After a conversation at the lunch table, Li Xuan finally learned that Zhong Chuhong was only 19 years old and used to work as a salesperson in a jewelry store. As a result, this time her mother resigned directly from her job in order to let her come to participate in Miss Hong Kong, according to her mother, this salesperson has no future. I've just signed up now, and I don't know if I can pass the preliminary examination, and I haven't looked for a job yet, so I've been helping sell clothes in my family's tailor shop.
However, Li Xuan frowned and pushed open the door of his study, looked at Zhong Chuhong who was standing behind him and said, "You can't say it after reading it, I haven't been in the newspaper yet." ”
"Oops, you've said it several times, don't you bother!" Miss Zhong in the back was impatient, and pushed Li Xuan into the study.
Hey, Li Xuan sighed secretly, bad luck! At lunchtime, Wang Jinyi accidentally said that Li Xuan was the author of "Kunlun", but he didn't expect that Zhong Chuhong was still a fan of his book, and immediately asked if there was a manuscript. Li Xuan didn't care about it at the time, and casually said yes, and then brought the chick to the house.
casually took out a stack of thick manuscripts from the drawer, and Li Xuan handed it to the chick who was standing aside. Seeing that the chick walked out with the manuscript, Li Xuan hurriedly pressed the chick on the recliner in the study.
"You can't take it out, just watch it here!" Li Xuan said viciously.
Miss Zhong glanced at Li Xuan: "Cut, if you don't go out, you won't go out, it seems that it's really worth a lot." ”
Li Xuan didn't get angry, pointed to the manuscript in Xiaoniu's hand and said, "It's not worth much, it's just 20,000 yuan." ”
This time it was Zhong Chuhong's turn to be surprised, looking at the stack of papers in his hand and said in surprise: "That's it?" That's worth 20,000 yuan? "God is pitiful, except for eating and drinking, she may not be able to earn 20,000 yuan a year as a salesperson.
"Hmm" Looking at Zhong Chuhong with a surprised look, Li Xuan felt relieved, but he still responded coldly. It seems that if you are a big star in the future, you are not just an ordinary person now.
"Tut-tut" Miss Zhong sighed and looked at the manuscript in her hand: "I knew that you writers made money quickly, but today is the first time to feel it in person." ”
"Alright, you can watch it here, I have to be busy too......"
After speaking, Li Xuan didn't care what Miss Zhong's expression was, walked directly to the desk, took out a blank piece of paper, and began to write the story drawing script. Li Xuan really has to be busy, there is only half a month left, and he has to write the script as soon as possible. Then, and then Li Xuan had a headache again, no manpower, no money, no machine. No, there's a video camera, what kind of movies can these make?
A camera, film and a few extras, these three conditions are put together, and the first thing Li Xuan thinks of is the famous horror films "Blair the Witch" and "Ghost Shadow". But when I think about it, no, who can accept such a shaky film these days, I guess no one is interested in watching it after watching the beginning. And at the beginning, "Blair the Witch" was so famous with the help of nascent Internet hype, and in these years, the hype has to rely on newspapers, which is a lot of money.
So shoot what? The hottest kung fu comedy of the year? No, Li Xuan directly vetoed this option, not to mention that Li Xuan's skills can't make that kind of kung fu movie with a sense of blow, even a little martial arts finger is not something he can afford now, if he is not careful, it will not be good if he is afraid of becoming a bad movie that follows the trend. That is a very popular psychedelic kung fu movie after a few years? That, the props are not a small amount, let alone have to ask for martial arts.
After thinking about it, Li Xuan still returned to horror movies. In recent years, in fact, there are still very few high-quality horror films in Hong Kong, but "The Exorcist" and "Omen", two excellent foreign ghost films, have caused a sensation in Hong Kong, and there are many works that follow the trend, but unfortunately there are many bad movies, but the locally produced "Yin and Yang World" four years ago became popular once, and then declined.
"Yin and Yang World" is the kind of story-based movie, which is a collection of small stories into a movie. Li Xuan still remembers that he has watched this kind of old ghost movie, such as "**Jade", which has not yet appeared. And there are many such ghost movies in Asia in later generations, such as Thailand's "Ghost 5 Abuse", Hong Kong's "Strange Talk Association", South Korea's "Horror Story" and Yuben's "World Wonderful Story" are all such films, and they are all classics.
However, Li Xuan rubbed his forehead, these scenes of story transformation are very big! There are a lot of scenes, and there is a lot of money spent, and I can't afford it.
The lens can't be too good, there is only one camera, there is not much film, there are few scene transitions, the most important thing is that it has to be scary, what else can you shoot if a horror film is not scary? Li Xuan's eyes, who were worried, suddenly lit up, and he remembered a film that almost scared him into peeing in later life, which just met his requirements. And he later went to see explanations and illustrations in order to understand the film, and now he can just use it.
Li Xuan hurriedly began to draw and write on the white paper.
"Lee Jun-woong? Lin Junxiong? What are you writing about? Li Xuan, who was conceiving the plot of his memories on paper, suddenly heard the question next to him, and turned his head to look at Zhong Chuhong, who was standing next to him.
"Write the script, what about you? Finished reading the book? Li Xuan squinted his eyes and looked at Zhong Chuhong and said.
Zhong Chuhong, who was uncomfortable for a while, held back the chill in his heart and said: "It's not okay to take a break after watching it for a long time, why are you writing a script?" ”
"Hehe, didn't I say I'm a director? How about you come to be the female number one in this play? Rest assured, it's not a Fengyue film, and it won't leak. Li Xuan said with a smile, but unfortunately that laughter sounded like an old fox to Miss Zhong.
Miss Zhong was not fooled, and directly threw Li Xuan with a roll of her eyes and replied: "What should be inappropriate, you will talk about it after you write the script, hum ......" After speaking, she turned around and returned to the recliner to continue reading the novel.
You should be the heroine! Li Xuan glanced at the chick viciously.
