Chapter 593: Huang Jianzhong
The day after making an appointment with Sun Haohui, Wu Hua went to Guan Wenshan with the script, if Guan Wenshan can't do anything else, but when it comes to communication, he can be regarded as a courtesan in the director's circle, and he knows many big-name directors.
He brought the script to Guan Wenshan, Guan Wenshan just glanced at it a few times, and then applauded the drama, "You can't help it, you suddenly wrote evidence, your evidence is really good, the Great Qin Empire sounds magnificent, and recently closed doors, just to study history, right?" ”
Wu Hua laughed and said, "Otherwise, what do you think?" Do I really sit at home every day, as you said, and the money goes into my pants pocket? I also have to show some real talent to learn, so that everyone can believe me, okay? ”
Guan Wenshan shook his head helplessly, "You are only serious occasionally, and there are quite a few directors in the circle who shoot dramas, but the scene of your drama is so big, I estimate that it will take more than half a year to film, and there are not many who can settle down to shoot such a majestic drama." ”
Wu Hua nodded, he also knew that a good work would take time to brew, but most directors are willing to take on some simple commercial dramas, which can be completed in three or four months, like this kind of script that may take several years to complete, many directors are unwilling to take it.
Guan Wenshan hesitated, took out his mobile phone, showed Wu Hua a phone number and said, "This is the phone number of Mr. Huang Jianzhong, I know that he has been filming dramas for many years, and he is very attentive, but he has always been strange, what do you say about the dramas you can't watch?" He won't talk about how much money to give, and even if you don't give him money, he is willing to give you his life. ”
Wu Hua nodded, wrote down his mobile phone number, and asked with some curiosity, "Has this teacher Huang Jianzhong ever filmed any famous works?" ”
"He has filmed a lot of historical evidence, such as Yue Wang Goujian and the matchmaker adapted from the Legend of the West Chamber, anyway, as long as he is willing to shoot you with his heart, this drama must be easy, the important thing is that you have to convince him, but I think your script is really good, I guess he will want to shoot it after reading it."
Wu Huaji nodded in his heart and thanked him, Guan Wenshan left Guan Wenshan's work directly, as soon as he arrived outside, he hurriedly called Huang Jianzhong, he didn't want to delay for a moment, this drama is naturally filmed as soon as possible.
The phone rang, and a hearty voice came from the other side, "Who are you?" ”
"Hello Mr. Huang Jianzhong, I'm Wu Hua, I have a script here and I want you to shoot it." Wu Hua said very politely.
As a result, Huang Jianzhong over there immediately changed his voice as soon as he heard him say that it was Wu Hua, and became a little impatient, "I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to make a TV series recently, so you might as well ask Gao Ming." ”
Wu Hua was stunned for a moment, he didn't know where he had offended her, when he heard Huang Jianzhong's tone, he was not a fool and knew that this voice was definitely a voice with opinions about himself.
"I'm sorry Mr. Huang, I want to ask, is there anything I can't do with you? I really have confidence in the script in my hand, please take a look at it, I'm sure you'll be willing to shoot it. ”
Huang Jianzhong sneered and said, "You don't have to say anything more, I know who you are, Wu Hua, right?" Recently, there is such a new character in the screenwriting circle, I probably know what routines your scripts are, if you really know me, you will know that I never make commercial dramas and romance dramas, don't you have a good friend, Director Guan Wenshan Guan, right? I think he's very good, you might as well find him to shoot your drama. ”
After Wu Hua heard it, he understood, it turned out that this Huang Jianzhong knew his acting path, and thought that he had found a commercial film or romance film for him to shoot, so he quickly explained.
"Mr. Huang, you misunderstood, the script I brought this time is not a romance drama, to be honest, I heard the recent restrictions on radio and television, until romance dramas and commercial dramas are not a long-term solution, so I began to try to change the way of drama, I wrote a historical drama, and specially found professors and graduate students from the School of History as staff officers, called the Great Qin Empire. I also learned about your reputation from Director Guan, he said that you are the best in the country in filming, to be honest, I have been writing this half of the TV series for two months, and I can't put my mind at ease if I don't find a serious person in charge to shoot it. ”
Hearing Wu Hua's explanation, coupled with the majestic name of the Great Qin Empire, Huang Jianzhong hesitated a little, but he quickly gritted his teeth and refused.
"Wu Hua, Xiao Wu, right? I'll tell you the truth, I really don't want to make a TV series recently, you better find someone else, I'm not the only one who is filming a drama, and I'm not as good as you Director Guan said, the number one in the country is okay, but I really don't dare to be the first. ”
Wu Hua saw that Huang Jianzhong still shirked vigorously, but he really didn't understand, he hadn't even read his script, why did he refuse wholeheartedly? Could it be that his previous news gave him a bad impression?
He didn't want to give up this opportunity, he knew that the reason why Guan Wenshan recommended Huang Jianzhong to her was that he thought Huang Jianzhong was the most suitable candidate, and his script must not find another director.
So Wu Hua took a deep breath and pleaded again, "Director Huang, I beg you to take a look at my script, you can say no to shoot after reading it, but I hope you can take a look at him." ”
In fact, there is no absolute certainty when saying this, if Huang Jianzhong really saw his script, maybe he would have to shoot it. The Great Qin Empire is a pearl, and people who really cherish art are reluctant to let this script go on like this when they see it.
Sure enough, when he heard Wu Hua say this, he hesitated, and after a while, Huang Jianzhong finally sighed, "Okay, then you can come to my house, but I will explain to you in advance, even if you come, I will not necessarily shoot after I have read the script, and you must not beg me again when the time comes." ”
Wu Hua hurriedly nodded happily and said in a loud voice, "Don't worry, Mr. Huang, if you still don't want to shoot after watching it, then I will definitely not force you, I know that only people who really like this script can shoot it well, if you really don't like it, I won't force it." ”
This sentence was in line with Huang Jianzhong's intentions, so Huang Jianzhong's tone softened and told Wu Hua the address of his home, and Wu Hua hurriedly took a taxi.
What Wu Huan didn't expect was that a famous director like Huang Jianzhong only lived in an ordinary community, full of children and grocery shopping mothers, she walked through these people to a remote unit, the door looked very old, Wu Hua knocked on the door, and a woman in a purple coat opened the door.
He glanced at Wu Hua and said, "You are the screenwriter invited by Lao Huang, please come in and let him out to buy tea, and he will be back in a while." ”
As soon as the woman said this, Wu Hua realized that he was in too much of a hurry to come over, and he didn't bring anything, he was fidgeting, and when he was going to go out to buy some good tea and send it over, Huang Jianzhong had already opened the door and came in.
He saw Wu Hua sitting on the sofa at a glance and nodded to her. With a rather serious face, he put the tea he bought on the table, and Wu Hua glanced at it and knew that it was the cheapest bulk tea in the supermarket.
He is a little strange, a coffee director like Huang Jianzhong should not live such a life anyway.
However, he was naturally embarrassed to ask directly, but stood up with a smile, nodded at Huang Jianzhong, and handed over the script properly, "Hello Mr. Huang, I am Wu Hua who just called you, and here is my script." ”
Huang Jianzhong was very satisfied with Wu Hua's polite greeting, he nodded, picked up the reading glasses on the table and brought them up, and looked at his script carefully.
He read about a page for more than ten minutes, and he read it very carefully, and after reading this page, he didn't look down immediately, but lowered his head and glanced at Wu Hua through the gap in his glasses and asked.
"You wrote this script very hard, I heard you say that you asked many professors in the history department, as well as graduate students, the introduction of the Great Qin Empire is simply too big, the complex background and character relationships in it are definitely not something you can handle alone, are you sure you can support such a big drama?"
Wu Hua smiled, not in a hurry, but slowly explained, "To be honest, I don't plan to film the entire Great Qin Empire in one drama, my idea is to write a total of three, and the part I give you now is only the first half of the first part, and the rest of the content is still very long." This is also the reason why I will find Mr. Huang, you to shoot this drama, just this first drama, it is very likely that it will take a year to shoot, I am not sure if other directors will waste a year so a script that is not a commercial drama. ”
Hearing Wu Hua say this, Huang Jianzhong laughed, "I think it's a little strange when these words come out of your mouth, you know, you are a screenwriter who specializes in writing commercial dramas in my eyes, in fact, I have read the script you wrote, Xiao Yuer and Hua Wuxian Meteor Garden Hunt for Qin, and the movie you wrote to kill the wolf, according to the level of an ordinary screenwriter, you are quite good." But if I want you to write a drama, it's still a little hot, what is that Xun Qin Ji you wrote? It's just a complete falsification of history, so that students can see that they will think that the real history is like this. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Hua reacted, why was Mr. Huang Jianzhong so unfriendly to him at the beginning, eighty percent was because he wrote the Quest for Qin, and this drama is indeed not on the stage in the eyes of a historian. There are also many more serious people who think that Xun Qin Ji is likely to mislead children and forget the real history.
In fact, commercial dramas naturally have the use of commercial roads, but today at Mr. Huang Jianzhong's house, of course Wu Hua will not refute his opinion, not to mention that he originally came to ask Huang Jianzhong to make this TV series.
