Chapter 225 Co-production (Medium)

There have been rumors before that a big director in Hollywood fell in love with the film "Infernal Affairs" and wanted to win the adaptation copyright, which caused quite a stir in China. And the origin of this rumor is that Francisco asked who owns the copyright of this film.

As soon as Francisco said that, Wen Yi had already guessed. He didn't answer immediately, but looked at Frank and asked, "Mr. Frank is also here for this film?" ”

"It's not! I'm here for you, just outside, meeting Mr. James and Director Francisco. Frank smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry, I can talk about it later, you can talk to Director Francisco first!" Of course, if you have enough time. I came with enough sincerity. ”

Wen Yi nodded, then looked at Francisco, and said: "The copyright adaptation can be given to you, the copyright fee can also be negotiated, and even I can invest in this film, of course, as long as Director Francisco and the film company behind you have no opinion." I have only one request, and I still hope that director Francisco will accept it! ”

"Oh, what request? As long as I can agree, I will never refuse! Francisco looked at Wen Yi with some surprise. I don't know what Wen Yi will ask for.

As long as you can say yes, you will never refuse! This is pure nonsense. Wen Yi felt disdainful in his heart.

"Huh! Director Francisco should know that I am also a screenwriter. So, I hope that the script for this film adaptation was written by me! Wen Yi smiled and said.

Wen Yi is a screenwriter, and he is an excellent screenwriter. This is clearly known to Francisco. It can even be said that there is some admiration. A little bit about Wen Yi. He had known that before.

But Wen Yi is an excellent screenwriter, and the film "Infernal Affairs" came out of his hands. But if it was adapted by him, Francisco was skeptical,

Adapted into European and American style. This undoubtedly adds to the difficulty. He wasn't sure that Wen Yi wouldn't be affected by the original! He didn't want to make a remake of the original.

Wen Yi is just a screenwriter in China. No matter how good it is, it is still unbelievable to adapt a European-American style film.

Francisco hesitated.

Wen Yi naturally saw Francisco's concerns and smiled. said: "Director Francisco, don't be too busy refusing first, I can write the script first, if you think that the script I wrote is far from what you think, and it can't meet your requirements." You can refuse, and I will still give you the copyright. ”

Francisco suddenly felt the strong confidence revealed in Wen Yi's words. And at this time, he suddenly remembered that the guy in front of him had become a demonic genius by Huaxia.

He didn't study music, but his music was popular all over Asia.

I didn't study film, but he wrote and shot movies. Every time it causes a sensation. Moreover, Francisco has seen several films related to Wen Yi before. "Infernal Affairs" naturally goes without saying. I've definitely seen it. Otherwise, I won't pay attention to the adaptation of this film.

I've seen "Ip Man", but I don't have much interest. In his opinion, that film sells Chinese kung fu. And he didn't have much interest in Chinese kung fu.

And what impressed him the most was undoubtedly "Crazy Stone" and "Source Code" written and directed by Wen Yi!

Although "Crazy Stone" failed to be released in North America, it is quite famous in the film industry, and the multi-line model is eye-catching. Although the story seems a bit absurd, it has been praised by many filmmakers, and even imitated by many European and American directors. And with good results.

And "Source Code" undoubtedly reveals a taste of Hollywood commercial films.

Maybe he doesn't understand Hollywood's style. It's that there's no room to play at all. After all, there will be many restrictions in Huaxia.

Sometimes Francisco doesn't understand why the relevant parts of Huaxia don't know much about movies at all, but they have to point fingers at movies!

Emasculated videos! Chinese movies have this kind of statement, but it undoubtedly reveals the sadness of Chinese movies.

Let him give it a try, maybe a good choice. This is a person who always surprises! Perhaps, he will also bring unexpected surprises to himself. Francisco thought so.

"Mr. Wen's screenwriting skills, although I am in Hollywood, I have also heard of it. I'm looking forward to your script! Francisco said with a smile.

When Wen Yi heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "I will definitely not let you down!" ”

Wen Yi knew in his heart that this was an opportunity. Because in the previous life, after the film "Infernal Affairs" was remade by Hollywood, it won many Oscar nominations, among which the Oscar for Best Screenplay was not only nominated, but also won.

Not to mention that he really won the Oscar for Best Screenplay, even if he was only nominated, it would definitely be a lot of benefits.

Although Wen Yi is not sure that the Hollywood adaptation of the film in his previous life will be written down unchanged. But Wen Yi has watched that film more than once in his previous life, although it is impossible to remember the dialogue in it clearly, but the development of the story is very clear. As for those dialogues, it is completely possible to deduce similar ones without affecting the quality of the film itself.

As for whether you can be nominated for the Oscar in the end, and whether you can win the Oscar, then you will do your best to obey the destiny of God.

However, the opportunity cannot be missed.

At least if you work hard, you still have a chance. If you don't seize the opportunity, you will never have a chance. Although Wen Yi is not even confident enough to write a script that satisfies Francisco, a great Hollywood director, let alone be nominated for an Oscar and win an Oscar.

However, there are some things that need to be taken after all. As for the result, it's just a matter of expectation.

Wen Yi's confident words and demeanor made Francisco look forward to his script even more.

Frank wasn't surprised that the two of them had finished talking so quickly. Although he and Francisco looked at the problem from a different angle, Francisco agreed to let Wen Yi write the script, and he still expressed his understanding.

Francisco may have thought about it from the film itself. But he thinks about it from the aspect of the film market. This film is adapted from the Chinese film "Infernal Affairs" written by Wen Yi, but without Wen Yi's participation, it may be difficult for this film to open the market in China.

With Wen Yi's participation, at least the Huaxia Film Market will be guaranteed. Whether it is from the incomprehensible face of the Chinese people, or Wen Yi's box office appeal in China. If this film is written by Wen Yi, it will definitely have a good box office in China.

With the development of China's economy, China's film market is developing faster and faster. In the past, a film breaking 100 million was a high-grossing film. And now, I don't know how many films break 100 million at the box office every year, and even a garbage film may break 100 million at the box office. This is enough to prove the potential of the Chinese film market.

The development of the Chinese film market has also promoted the pace of Chinese filmmakers going international.

And the most advantageous filmmaker is undoubtedly the young man in front of him. That's why I came.

This young man understands movies, at least from the few films he has written and directed, it can be seen that this person is a genius in film.

And this person is also a kung fu master, and was judged by "Black Belt" magazine as the number one master in Southeast Asia. Today's popularity, or rather popularity, is no less than that of any Hollywood big name.

In terms of movies, it may not be as good as Bruce Lee back then, but it can be said that it has surpassed a lot in terms of kung fu. After all, Bruce Lee became famous for his kung fu back then, but he never won the title of "Southeast Asia's No. 1 Master", and his reputation in the martial arts world was much lower than that of this young man.

At least when Bruce Lee was alive, he was not as good as Wen Yi today.

Bruce Lee's influence exploded, or after his death!

In terms of film, Wen Yi has a great advantage over Bruce Lee. Although Bruce Lee also wrote and directed at the time, he also invested in movies.

But Bruce Lee's film is so monotonous that it's just a kung fu school. And what about this young man in front of him? In addition to kung fu schools, comedies, dramas, science fiction films, and romance films, he showed his comprehensiveness.

Frank believes that the guy in front of him, whether in the field of kung fu or in movies, will go farther than Bruce Lee back then!

And when he was in the star world that day, everyone mentioned that it was Frank himself who pulled him into Hollywood. This may be an extremely dazzling shining point in his film career!

Let those short-sighted guys regret going! (To be continued......)
