Chapter 333: Modern Cinderella
When Wang Jing heard Han Jin say this, he couldn't help but suddenly brighten, "Gao, Ah Jin, this idea is really too high." ”
Worshipping the gold girl, the son brother, playing a big name, was banned...... These are quite eye-catching words.
Hong Kong people generally have a pair of snobbish eyes, dislike the poor and love the rich, and are good at playing with red and white, and tending to be inflammatory. However, what they are most unaccustomed to is the drama of "sparrows flying on branches and becoming phoenixes".
When Liu Jialing was fat with Xu Jinheng, the son of a rich family, she was trampled on by thousands of people, and they all scolded her, scolded her, scolded her ugly, and scolded her for clinging to wealth, and she was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, and she didn't weigh her own weight.
After Liu Jialing really broke up with Xu Jinheng, Hong Kong citizens were really jubilant, and they were glad that they were really prescient. Beiku is Beigu in the end, and no matter how good Cantonese is spoken, she is also a countryman. A sparrow is always a sparrow, and it can never fly up the branch and become a phoenix. In fact, they are just envious, jealous and hateful, and they hate that they can marry into a wealthy family, and from then on they will be prosperous and prosperous.
Now, if "Ghost Horse Flying Man" hypes up the news that the trio is being chased by a rich son, it will definitely make the Hong Kong people excited, and what they like to watch most is this kind of gossip news about wealthy families.
Generally, if news like this is really born, the other crews will come out to extinguish the fire as soon as possible, and the film company will come forward to ask the newspaper to pull out the report. Because if such news breaks out, it will be an invisible harm to both the actors and the movie.
But Han Jin is now going the opposite way, and there is a scandal to break the news. There is no scandal to create a scandal and to break the news. Once this news is exposed, the drama "Ghost Horse and Flying Man" will not be able to become popular.
Generally, film companies want to pay the newspaper for publicity, so that people are willing to help you advertise. But Han Jin just didn't want to spend money, and he also wanted to make the propaganda beautiful.
He knows that scandals like this and scandals are all things that entertainment reporters really want to dig up. Like that time when he and Zhong Chuhong filmed "The Frog Prince", there were a large number of reporters on the crew, just to find out if the two of them had an affair. even paid the crew to get an intimate photo of the two of them, which shows that these entertainment reporters are concerned about this kind of thing.
If you take the initiative to leak the news to them now. They still don't have a big reason for that.
"Brother Jing. You are a screenwriter, and now you are a director, and you will direct this good play. Han Jin said with a smile, "You must fry it well!" ”
Wang Jing nodded. "Don't worry. Ah Jin. I didn't know I could do that. Now that you've made a trick for me, see if I don't stir him upside down. ”
"Well, pay attention to the scale. Don't accidentally over-fry and give it a paste. Han Jin reminded with a smile, "This time, Warner Records wanted to use the scandal photo to stir up Ye Qianwen, but now it is a lose-lose situation, how unworthy you say." ”
"I'll be careful." Wang Jing nodded and said, "Then I'll look for Liu Qingyun and Wu Jiali to come over and take photos when I go back." ”
Han Jin smiled, "Well, it's best to take photos similar to candid shots, and try not to expose the traces of posing." Otherwise, the media will have insight into our purpose, and the people of Hong Kong do not like to be fooled. ”
"I'll take notice." Wang Jing also smiled and nodded, he really didn't think about it so much just now, and now listening to Han Jinyi's reminder, he felt that this matter seemed very easy, but in fact, the key was the details.
……
After chatting about the hype for a while, Wang Jing learned a lot from Han Jin, and it felt really eye-opening.
Before, whether he was at Shaw Brothers or TVB, he was only responsible for making good movies and TV series. Naturally, there is a company responsible for publicity and action, and he can't intervene as a director at all.
But now it's different, he is now following Han Jin to do things, there are two or three big cats and kittens in the company, and he has to mix everything himself. From agreeing on the script to selecting the actors, from assembling the team to starting filming, from post-production to film promotion...... Almost all aspects of work have to be taken into account, although the hard work is a little hard, but Wang Jing feels very happy.
Because he knows the truth that Yiduo is not pressing, if you want to gain a foothold in the film industry, it is necessary to have multiple skills. It's like the Seven Monsters of New Art City, all of them are written and directed, supervised and produced in one, everyone is a generalist, and everyone can be independent. That's why the new art city is now so prosperous.
The reason why the Seven Monsters of New Arts City are so powerful is because they have all started their own businesses, like Teddy Robin, who has opened a film company before, and is also the leader of New Wave films.
Huang Baiming, Ishida, and Mai Jia also formed their own struggles back then, and they developed step by step from childhood to adulthood. Because the company is small and has few people, the boss personally goes into battle for everything, and he has trained people to be generalists.
Wang Jing has been mixed with large companies like TVB and Shaw Brothers before, and has no experience in entrepreneurship, so he also lacks the opportunity to exercise.
……
After chatting about the hype, Han Jin asked Wang Jingdao with a smile, "Brother Jing, the filming of "Ghost Horse and Flying Man" has been completed, do you have any new ideas next?" ”
"Huh?! Ah Jin, you trust me so much, if you don't look at the box office results of this movie, you dare to let me shoot a new film? Wang Jing asked in surprise.
In Shaw Brothers, if the director's film does not do well at the box office, I am afraid it will be difficult to have another chance to make a film. For example, after Chu Yuan made two money-losing movies, he was immediately beaten into the cold palace by Shao Yifu, completely forgetting that his previous "Seventy-two Tenants" set a box office record for Shaw Brothers.
"I can absolutely trust Brother Jing's ability." Han Jin nodded and smiled, "Otherwise, there are so many directors in Hong Kong, why do I have to invite you over." ”
Wang Jing couldn't help but look proud when he heard Han Jin say this, "I have a few ideas, let me mention you and see which one is more suitable." ”
Han Jin nodded, "Okay." Please speak. ”
Wang Jing then told the outline of several stories. He had already been working on a new script before the filming of "Ghost Horse and Flying Man", and writing the script was a very good pleasure for him.
After listening to him tell a few, Han Jin chose the story of the thief and the beauty, "Brother Jing, I think this movie is quite interesting." ”
The story is that a thief stole a diamond and was chased by the Black X, so he hastily hid the diamond in the heel of a pair of women's shoes. As a result, the women's shoes were bought by a girl, so he moved next door to the girl in order to be able to recover the diamond. And tried to get close to her in the way of having a girlfriend. So that the shoes can be retrieved.
The Black X Society is also investigating the matter, and finally finds the thief and takes them back to the bandits' lair for interrogation. At the same time, the police are also investigating the matter, and finally the two sides of the battle ended happily in the bandit's nest.
The good thing about this story is that it is not a simple "chasing girls" story. Although the heroine is still an innocent girl. But the male protagonist is a diamond thief. The identity setting is refreshing. Not falling out of the box and bringing forth the new is the key to winning at the box office.
Wang Jing himself likes this story. Although this story is the same as "The Frog Prince" and "Ghost Horse Flying Man", which are so-called "chasing girls" films, Wang Jing also tried his best to change.
The first "Frog Prince" is an identity change, the prince becomes a frog, the frog becomes a prince, and the identity changes, and there are naturally infinite jokes to dig in the middle. "Million Pounds" is a classic of satirical comedy.
It's a pity that Wang Jing only focused on picking up girls, and did not further dig into the laughing fruit brought by the identity change, which made this drama superficial, and it can only be regarded as a decent romantic comedy, and it is far from being a comedy classic.
The second "Ghost Horse and Flying Man" adds sci-fi elements, the male protagonist can become a human after taking the drug, but it is only a minute, and after the time, he will change from a human to a little man.
This is actually an alternative "identity change", between people and little men, there is a huge gap between the two, and it is naturally easy to dig out a lot of jokes.
In this third part, the diamond thief incarnates as a next-door neighbor to pick up girls, and he can't use any strong means, so he can only rely on his own charm to conquer. This is actually a kind of "identity change", just like Cheng Long's "Agent Next Door". No matter how awesome an agent is, when he can only deal with people as an ordinary person, he will be a little uncomfortable.
Han Jin also seems to like Wang Jing very fond of using the trick of identity conversion to design the bridge, like "Hardcover Chasing Girls", Zhou Yan incarnated as a rich son to chase Zhang Manyu, and Zhang Manyu was also chased by him as a rich girl, in fact, both of them are just workers;
In "God of Gamblers", Zhou Yan switched his identity from the God of Gamblers and an idiot, which not only attracted a lot of jokes, but also made the audience have a sense of substitution. When Zhou Yan regained his sanity in the end, the scene of killing people in the rain of bullets was simply handsome.
In "The Best Friend", Liu Dehua also has the identity change from a wage earner to the successor of the group; In "100 Percent of Beauty", Lin Junxian also went from being penniless to suddenly becoming a billionaire; In "The Gambler", Liu Dehua was forced to swap identities with Shan Liwen, and he changed from a well-known gambler to a penniless, and finally completed the role swap......
This seems to be a mode of comedy construction, which can also be seen from the sketches performed by Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao, such as "The Police and the Thief", "The Protagonist and the Supporting Role", "The King and the Postman" and so on.
……
After Han Jin and Wang Jing finalized the story, the next thing was the turn of the script. This drama is filmed according to Wang Jing's ideas, it is a low-cost pickle girl comedy, but the identity of the character has changed.
But Han Jin felt that if he just shot like that, he would waste this good story theme. He plans to make it like "The Agent Next Door", the diamond thief must at least have something extraordinary, and the pickling girl also needs to use high technology, what kind of eavesdropping, camera, computer......
"Wow, Ah Jin, in this case, the cost of this movie will go up." Wang Jing said with some surprise.
Han Jin nodded, knowing that Wang Jing didn't like to play high-cost movies too much, because that would bring him a lot of box office pressure. If he can't even recover the cost by then, then he will kill himself to thank the world.
"It's okay if the cost is a little higher." Han Jin nodded and said with a smile, "Brother Jing, this time you can rest assured and fight boldly, it is naturally a good thing to make money, even if you lose money, you will increase your experience in making blockbusters." You're not going to make low-budget comedies all the time, are you? ”
Wang Jing couldn't help but be very moved when he heard Han Jin say this. You must know that this movie was invested by him, and if he loses money, he will lose it. I won't suffer any loss no matter what.
According to Han Jin's meaning, if he earns it, he will get rid of the hat of a low-budget comedy. Even if you lose money, you have accumulated experience in making blockbusters, and you have earned it anyway. Han Jin is using his own money to "brush experience" for him.
"Ah Jin, don't worry, I will do it well." Wang Jing nodded solemnly. (To be continued!)
