Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Shocked Hong Kong Island Director
Wang Lang is one of the famous directors on Hong Kong Island, he made a lot of tertiary films in his early years, speaking of which, his fame is also thanks to tertiary films, without those popular tertiary films, he would not be able to mix to this point today, but he has basically not made tertiary films over the years, not that he looks down on tertiary films, but there is really no good script, those cliché things have been filmed badly, he doesn't want to shoot, because he knows that if he shoots, there will be no good box office.
In recent years, the number of tertiary films on Hong Kong Island has decreased sharply, and many people say that tertiary films have declined, but Wang Lang doesn't see it that way, not that tertiary films are declining, but that the current tertiary films are really insincere, the story is old-fashioned, low-cost production, and even some guys directly use DV to record and piece together, in this case, it's no wonder that the box office can be good.
There are still audiences for tertiary films on Hong Kong Island, and this group is still very large, in this era of tertiary films, the needs of the audience are not met at all, if anyone can make a wonderful tertiary film at this time, the box office is likely to be shocking, making many people stunned.
Wang Lang has been looking for a good tertiary film script recently, he has not had too outstanding box office results for several years, if it continues like this, I am afraid it will be slowly forgotten, he urgently needs a stimulus, a sensational film, let him return to the audience's field of vision.
I've been busy for months, and I've read a lot of scripts, but none of them can satisfy Wang Lang, look at the things they wrote, oh my God, do they think it's still twenty years ago? Those clichéd things that are so bad that they still want to impress the audience are just dreams.
"Damn, isn't there anyone who can break the shackles and innovate a little?"
After reading the latest two scripts, Wang Lang complained angrily, and at this moment, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in." Wang Lang said while throwing the two scripts that made him angry into the trash.
Click, the door of the office was pushed open from the outside, and a young female secretary walked in from the outside, looked at Wang Lang cautiously and reported: "Director Wang, just now the boss of Wang Tongxue Wang from the mainland called and wanted to ask you to help him read a script, and asked if it is convenient for you now." ”
Wang Lang sat up straight, frowned, and said, "Wang Tongxue, hasn't he been playing a TV series recently?" How can you still think about making movies? What script, did you ask? ”
The female secretary hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "It is said to be a third-level film." ”
"Tertiary films?" Wang Lang raised his eyebrows and asked a little strangely: "Which screenwriter's script?" ”
"I don't know, but listen to Boss Wang, the script was written by a screenwriter from the mainland." The female secretary's face was slightly weird, tertiary films are not popular on the mainland at all, and I have never heard of any tertiary film screenwriters there in the past.
"Nonsense, do they think tertiary films are simple? Do you think that a man and a woman can make a tertiary film? It's a waste of time to do this without any experience! Wang Lang shouted angrily, many of the scripts he received these days were sent from the mainland, and most of the results were taken for granted, which made him very annoyed.
"Then I'll help Director Wang refuse?" The female secretary asked colorfully.
Wang Lang's two eyebrows twisted fiercely: "Forget it, Wang Tongxue is not good to offend, maybe I will have to invest in him in the future, it won't take much time anyway, you let him pass it over." ”
The female secretary nodded and retreated, and after a while, she walked into Wang Lang's office again with a small mobile hard drive.
"Alright, I'll let you know after I'm done."
Wang Lang took the mobile hard drive and sent the female secretary away.
Frowning, he opened the file on the portable hard drive, and soon found the script.
A minute later, Wang Lang put away his indifferent expression, and replaced it with a little curiosity and solemnity, he had already seen that the level of this script was much higher than he imagined, and it was not a graffiti work.
Five minutes later, curiosity and solemnity were transformed into shock and incredulity, the plot of the story may not be very brilliant, but many places are full of whimsy, shining his eyeballs again and again, as a director who started a tertiary film, he knows very well how attractive these whimsical ideas are to the audience of tertiary films, if such a film is shot well, it will set off another tertiary film frenzy.
Ten minutes later, there was only excitement and excitement left on Wang Lang's face, he knew that he had seized the opportunity, this was the script he dreamed of, he believed that as long as he could make this film well, then let alone return to the audience's field of vision, even if it was the box office champion, he would have the confidence to fight.
"Good, good, good, great, great, unthinkable, unthinkable, unthinkable, the screenwriter of this script is simply a genius." Wang Lang patted his thigh fiercely, and then quickly pressed the phone on the table: "Xiao Li, come to my office." ”
After a while, the female secretary Xiao Li quickly came to Wang Lang's office, and before she could speak, Wang Lang said eagerly: "But call Wang Tongxue and ask him where this script came from, whether he intends to sell it, if he is willing to sell it, tell me immediately, we must take this script." ”
The female secretary was stunned when she heard this, her beautiful eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe what she heard, she never dreamed that Wang Lang would attach so much importance to that inconspicuous script.
"Why are you stunned? Didn't you understand me? Why don't you go soon? Remember to have a better attitude. ”
The female secretary came back to her senses when she heard this, and hurriedly ran outside, but before she could run out, Wang Lang suddenly spoke again: "Wait." ”
"What else do you have to say, Director Wang." The female secretary hurriedly stopped.
"When I call, I asked Wang Tongxue, can I contact the screenwriter of this script, I want to meet." Wang Lang said.
"You want to meet the screenwriters of this continent?" The female secretary was slightly stunned again, although Wang Lang's fame has declined in the past two years, the shelf has always been very large, a big boss like Wang Tongxue is usually his own secretary who is following up, and even those people sent by the boss can't see Director Wang, but now, Director Wang actually wants to meet the unknown mainland screenwriter by name!?
"If you want to do it, you can do it, where there is so much nonsense." Wang Lang reprimanded impatiently, and then waved his hand at the female secretary to signal her to contact quickly, and he turned his gaze to the script on the computer monitor again, and carefully read it from the beginning for the second time.
Seeing this, the female secretary's heart suddenly shook a few times, there are not many scripts that can make Wang Lang have such an attitude, and the screenwriters in the mainland seem to be very simple.
