Chapter 613: Tang Shijie's Hidden Secret
Wu Hua sat at Zhang Jizhong's house and suddenly had an idea, the relationship between Zhang Jizhong and Tang Shijie must be very good, so it is possible that after Tang Shijie quits, he will no longer accept any works, if the Great Qin Empire can be directed by Tang Shijie and Zhang Jizhong can be the producer, it would be great.
Thinking so, Wu Hua glanced at Zhang Jizhong and said, "No matter what, Mr. Zhang, I must let my sincerity impress Director Tang, I can ask, if Director Tang agrees to direct this TV series, are you willing to come back as a producer?" ”
Zhang Jizhong heard Wu Hua's request, and smiled, "If you can talk about the old stubbornness of Lao Tang, I am willing to reappear in the rivers and lakes, but I advise you not to have too much hope, Lao Tang has not been a director for more than ten years, and I have not been a producer for more than ten years. ”
Wu Hua laughed and said repeatedly, "How come? Just like an actor, an old drama bone is always an old drama bone, he has not filmed for 20 years, his professionalism is also different, you and Director Tang were almost famous directors and producers in that era in the early years, even if you don't return to the circle for another ten years, you won't be born. ”
Zhang Jizhong waved his hand again and again when he heard this, "Ouch, you young man is really good at talking, you still don't give us two buttoned hats, can you talk about Lao Tang, if he is really willing to direct, then I am naturally willing to do this producer." ”
Wu Hua smiled and thanked Zhang Jizhong for leaving his home, in fact, as soon as he came out of Zhang Jizhong's house, Wu Hua's heart was a little heavy, if Tang Shijie no longer stepped into the circle because of other people in the circle, it would be easy to say, if it was family reasons, it would be difficult to do.
This matter is mostly a card played by family affection, and he can't let a person shoot a lifeless work without family affection. A headache is a headache, but he can't know that he must not back down, whether it is for himself, for the Great Qin Empire, or for Director Huang.
What do you think Wu Hua took a deep breath, he asked for Tang Shijie's mobile phone from Zhang Jizhong, but she didn't plan to simply call Tang Shijie, but decided to go to Communication University in person and listen to Tang Shijie's class.
When she arrived at Communication University, she asked a college student on the side of the road, and Mr. Tang Shijie's class schedule was immediately recognized.
"Ah, I know you, I've seen you on TV, are you the famous screenwriter who has written a lot of TV series, I can't remember it for a while, it's just that Xiaoyuer and Hua Wufeng are right, as well as Meteor Garden and Xun Qinji!"
Wu Hua laughed, worthy of being a student of Communication University, they will remember things that ordinary people don't pay attention to, Wu Hua nodded, and the girls screamed, and took out their notebooks one by one to ask for autographs, and for the first time they couldn't enjoy the treatment of celebrities, and they didn't refuse, and signed their names one by one.
Several girls suddenly glanced at Wu Hua with a little sadness while holding the autograph, "I know you had a car accident a while ago, you must be sad, Director Huang actually passed away, I like his works very much, he is one of the few good directors in the director circle now." ”
Wu Hua smiled and replied, "Yes, but the drama of the Great Qin Empire can't be left in decline because Director Huang died, in order to fulfill Director Huang's wish, I will continue to work for the Great Qin Empire, in fact, I came to your Communication University this time to ask Director Tang Shijie to help me shoot this TV series." ”
One of these girls screamed briefly, "Ah, Mr. Tang is my instructor, screenwriter Wu, if you come with this thought, it will be too embarrassing, I think Mr. Tang will definitely not agree to your request, over the years, many people have brought scripts to ask Mr. Tang to go out again to shoot TV series, but Mr. Tang refused." ”
Wu Hua was very interested when he heard this, saw the girl, and asked gently, "Then do you know why Mr. Tang is not filming a TV series?" ”
Several girls glanced at each other, cautiously approached Wu Hua and said, "Actually, we don't know very well, but we have heard rumors that Mr. Tang's wife died when Mr. Tang was filming the Ming Dynasty, and Mr. Tang didn't have time to see his wife for the last time in order to shoot, and even his son blamed her for going abroad and refused to see him again, so from then on, Mr. Tang never filmed TV series again." ”
Wu Hua was very surprised when he heard this, if it was because of this incident, then Tang Shijie would never step into the director's circle again, he could understand this matter very well, it would take almost a year to shoot a large-scale historical evidence, running around the country, and there was almost no personal time.
But this Tang Shijie is really ruthless, and he really didn't go back to see his seriously ill wife for the last time. Wu Hua didn't know if what these girls said was true, if it was true, he persuaded Tang Shijie to return to the director's circle, and the matter of returning to the director circle has risen to another difficulty. This may be the key to Tang Shijie's lifelong regret, and it is almost impossible for him to break his oath by himself.
At this point, Wu Hua almost had no hope, but she still decided to attend Tang Shijie's class once.
Wu Hua arrived in the classroom and had already started class, he cautiously entered through the back door, and sat quietly in one of the corners, without attracting anyone's attention. Tang Shijie taught the skills of directing, and what she said was very fascinating, and Wu Hua also felt that he benefited a lot from listening to it.
Even a layman who is a director can quickly understand the director's skills from Tang Shijie's easy-to-understand language, and it seems that whether it is a director or a teacher, Tang Shijie has done a very perfect job. If such a person really doesn't step into this circle one step, it will be a waste of talent.
After finishing the law, Wu Hua listened to the whole class patiently, and just as he hesitated to step forward to say hello to Tang Shijie, Tang Shijie walked directly towards him with a book.
"You're Wu Hua, right?"
What Wu Hua never expected was that it was Director Tang who found him first. Wu Hua hurriedly stood up in fear, bowed deeply and said, "Hello Mr. Tang, I am a screenwriter, my name is Wu Hua, the reason why I came to you today ......"
Before he finished speaking, Tang Shijie waved his hand to signal that he had nothing to say, but asked her to follow him back to the office. It seems that Communication University treats Tang Shijie very well, and she actually has a separate office.
As soon as Tang Shijie entered, he closed the door casually, put the book on the table and said, "I know that the news of Director Huang's death has spread all over the country in the past few days, and Huang Jianzhong is also half of my student, she has come to consult me many times before when she was filming, I like him very much, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing." ”
Wu Hua sighed, mentioning Huang Jianzhong, his heart swelled with a sour feeling, for Huang Jianzhong, he really treated her as a relative, but he didn't expect the friendship between the two to be so short.
Seeing that Wuhua's eyes were gradually red, Tang Shijie shook his head and said, "Try not to think too much about us living people, in fact, I probably understand why you are here today, but I can tell you clearly that I will never be a director." ”
In fact, Wu Hua had expected the rejection long before he came, but he didn't expect Tang Shijie to be so straightforward, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "Actually, I already estimated that Mr. Tang would not agree to me before I came, but I have a problem with this person, that is, I must do everything perfectly." The reason why I chose director Huang Jianzhong before is precisely because of this, so many directors have come to me to express their willingness to shoot this TV series, and I refused them to come to you, and it is also because of this. ”
Tang Shijie nodded appreciatively, "Actually, I am very optimistic about the young people of your generation, there are many talented seedlings, I have also read all your works, I am different from Director Huang, he has some inherent prejudices against some hit dramas, and always thinks that people who shoot hit dramas or write hit dramas are bent on becoming popular, in fact, I think that hit dramas have their own meaning of existence, so many ordinary TV series, I often watch and learn from the advantages of them, and come to give comments to scholars when the time comes." ”
Hearing this, Wu Hua couldn't help but be a little surprised. Tang Shijie is already such an excellent director, and he can even learn from other people's works, such a modest study is really admirable.
"Your Quest for Qin is directed and filmed by Wong Kar-wai, which can be called a must in modern TV dramas, and even I can't help but applaud you as a screenwriter. To be honest, although I haven't seen the script of the TV series of the Great Qin Empire, I think if I saw it ten years ago, I would never refuse. Speaking of this, Tang Shijie did show a somewhat lost look.
Wu Hua thought of what the group of female students said about Tang Shijie's family before he came, and said with a long sigh, "Director Tang is not to blame anything else, only to blame us for being born at the wrong time, I met you ten years earlier, or if you announced this decision later, we will really have a very pleasant cooperation." ”
Both of them were silent for a long time, and Tang Shijie suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Hua, "Do you know why Wong Kar-wai came to this position?" ”
Wu Hua didn't know what Tang Shijie was going to say, so he replied hesitantly, "Because of Director Wang's unique shooting skills and serious attitude?" ”
Tang Shijie smiled and shook his head, "If you want to talk about shooting techniques, some people are more unique than him, if you want to talk about a serious attitude, some people are more serious than him, why do we only have one Wong Kar-wai in China?" Because he wrote and directed himself on the basis of these two things, he has produced many excellent works. ”
