Chapter 53: Write a script for Chen Long

"Boss Zou wants to see me?" Li Xuechu was surprised.

"What's so strange about that? Uncle Shao also wants to see you, but I haven't said when, I'll give you a letter in advance. In fact, the boss of a film company in Xiangjiang doesn't want to look for you now? Wang Fatzi said sourly: "But your identity is different now, and the boss of the smaller one doesn't dare to come to the door." Two million screenwriters, people who work hard to write a script can get twenty or thirty thousand, and they may not be able to get it. ”

Li Xuechu smiled dumbly: "What kind of sour water are you having?" Anyway, your script won't be sold, and when the box office is high, the price of your script will naturally be high. ”

Wang Jin said with a bitter face: "How high can you go, you don't know what kind of person Uncle Shao is, he is notoriously stingy." And my current treatment has already gossiped a lot of people in the Shaw Brothers, but to put it bluntly, it is better to get higher from you. ”

"And you're going back?" Li Xuechu said strangely.

"After all, I'm still a member of the Shaw Brothers, and the Shaw Brothers don't have a few years to live anyway, so I'll just stand up for him on the last shift. Uncle Shao is still good to my Wang family after all, I will pay him back the favor for a few years......" As he spoke, Wang Jin's fat face seemed to reveal a bit of light.

Li Xuechu glanced at him disdainfully: "Who are you fooling, you are a two-five boy and still have this side?" ”

"Honestly, you don't believe it." Wang Jin said: "Don't look at me like this, I still have feelings for Shaw Brothers, and I feel uncomfortable seeing him mixed up like this." After all, I grew up watching the Shaw Brothers set, and I know a lot of the people in it, so I really don't know where they will go in a few years? ”

Wang Jin looked at Li Xuechu: "Why did your film company recruit so many people?" The directors and artists haven't signed a few, it can't be that they can't find anyone, do you want me to introduce a few more people from Shaw Brothers to enter. ”

"I don't really want so many people, it's troublesome to manage. It's better to find a good script and ask the right director and star to shoot it, if you have too many people, you can't take care of it, take care of it, and I'm afraid that the movie is not suitable for him. Compared with the model of Xiangjiang and later generations of the Chinese film industry, Li Xuechu admires the way Hollywood operates. The producer, director, and artist are independent, and when making a movie, the producer chooses the director himself, and then the two parties choose the artist together. In this way, we can effectively ensure fair competition and make a good movie. If the film company has a bunch of artists under its own banner, it will naturally move closer to its own people when casting the movie, even if the acting skills are not in place, they must be forcibly put on the position, and the candidates with better and more suitable acting skills will be squeezed out.

The two modes guide the behavior of the artists and directors of the two parties are also different. The West also pays attention to personal relationships, but if the acting skills are too watery, no matter how good your relationship is, no matter how beautiful the person is, it is useless, unless you don't want money or someone sponsors you to pay for it, so that there will be a crew who is short of money to come to you, otherwise you don't need to talk about it. The East pays too much attention to relationships and power, and it is common for several movies in a row to force out a star, whether it is Xiangjiang, Taiwan or the mainland in later generations. There are many stars in the East with acting skills.

"You've done a lot of this, but it's all bag companies, like you used to. Now the shelves are not small, but the inside is empty, is it appropriate? ”

"We'll talk about that later." Li Xuechu said helplessly. This thing can't be done by yourself, it involves a matter of concept. Ye Zhiming also urged himself to find good directors and artists to enrich his team at first, but now that comic toys are selling so well, he put aside the advance of the movie. The artists in his company are now Ren Dahua and Liang Jiahui, the former was brought over by Ye Zhiming from Bangbang, and the latter was requested by himself when filming the soul catcher, and of course Li Xuechu is welcome to such a powerful actor. If you invite yourself, people like Wu Yushen, Zhou Yan, Xu Ke, Chen Xiaodong, etc. will consider it. But I am still thinking about whether to make such a big fanfare.

"Didn't you say that you were going to stand the last shift at the Shaw Brothers, why did you dig up the corner of the Shaw Brothers again?" Li Xuechu asked.

Wang Fatzi smiled bitterly: "Now the Shaw Brothers are the people inside who want to leave, and the company also wants to let go." There are too many people to raise. ”

Shaw Brothers is now like a state-owned enterprise that was poorly managed in later generations, and the company immediately became a large number of laid-off workers, so it is no wonder that people are panicking. Many people have been in it for more than ten or twenty years, and they have stayed until their heads are in vain and then come out to compete with others? It's tragic to think about.

"Let's talk about this later, I will consider the Shaw Brothers first when I want to enrich the team, you haven't got down to business yet."

"Oh, I almost forgot about it." Wang Jin patted his head: "Boss Zou asked you to meet at the Peninsula Hotel at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, probably to discuss the movie with you." ”

Wang Jin thought about it and said: "Boss Zou's subordinate general Chen Long is not mixing well now, I guess I want to ask you to write a script for him so that I can help him." ”

"Write a script for Long Chen?" Li Xuechu was surprised, and then fell silent again. Chen Long is an actor with a strong personal style, and if you write a script for him, you can't really find a good theme for a while except for the ones he filmed himself in later generations.

On the one hand, he is relatively influenced by Hollywood, and then the current and later generations of Xiangjiang screenwriters are quite miserable, and I feel a little embarrassed to snatch other people's classics in advance. In case there are too many copies that make a gold medal screenwriter unable to get ahead, although others don't know, I still feel quite guilty.

As for Hollywood, there are tens of thousands of screenwriters, and there are writers from all over Europe, America and even Asia as supernumeraries, and there are too many scripts to count. Maybe you've been inspired by your own 'creativity' again?

If you really wrote a script for Chen Long, what should you write? Plan A? Forget it, this one will come out next year, maybe the screenwriter has already conceived it in his head, if he takes the lead and doesn't make others feel as uncomfortable as constipation, it's too sad to be stillborn halfway through the idea. Police story? This one is good, and it's eighty-five years old, so you can focus on it. But let's think about it again, is there any Hollywood that is suitable for Chen Long.

Thinking about it, a movie comes to the surface: Hurricane Rescue.

Chen Long is almost thirty now, right? It's okay to make him five or six years older, and such a teenage daughter is reasonable. However, this is a serious story, there is no comedy, and the protagonist is quite tyrannical, which doesn't really match Chen Long's style, so this one has been slightly changed. The police story is also a serious story, but later it seems that the script was changed, a funny girlfriend B was added, and some comedy was added, so it was complete. If they are not satisfied with the need to change it, let them change it themselves, I have no problem.

Thinking of this, Li Xuechu has some bottom, anyway, the screenwriter is ready-made for himself, and it doesn't take much time.

Chen Long is a little unhappy now, but it will be fine in a year. I still have a good impression of Chen Long's eldest brother Li Xuechu, although it took a little, but it was not bad for my friends, and he was a person worth befriending.

Speaking of which, the first Xiangjiang star to become popular in the mainland in later generations was Chen Long, and he has watched a lot of movies starring him, which can be regarded as a memory of his youth. Chen Long and Zhou Xingxing, I haven't seen enough of their movies before, but unfortunately they are making fewer and fewer films, and the later movies have changed, and they don't feel like they made them.

"Hey, what's been thinking about for so long? You're not going to be making jokes right now, are you? The impatient Wang Fat Man urged: "Give me a letter, I'll go back to someone's house." ”

Li Xuechu glanced at him: "What are you anxious about, of course I'm going, don't people still go to make music with others when they find them?" But I was thinking about the story just now, and the details are not in place, so the general story framework is there. ”

"Really? Do you have an idea with just a little effort? Wang Fatzi is really envious, jealous and hateful, and people are too shocking compared to people: "You are only a **." ”
