Chapter 251: An Unexpected Visitor
The script of the bright era version of "The Sadder" starts to tell the story from He Hongwei's point of view, and the first thing that appears is the future city more than 100 years in the future, which will be shown here with exquisite special effects.
We Chinese people actually like exquisite special effects blockbusters very much, no matter how nonsense the plot is and how many loopholes there are in foreign special effects blockbusters in later generations, as long as there are grand scenes and stars, the box office in China is not low.
There is no way, the special effects of domestic films at this stage are always indescribable.
Later, several films such as Xu Laowei's Di Renjie series used a large number of exquisite special effects, not to mention word of mouth, but the box office was a long-term hit, proving that high-level special effects can be recognized by the audience.
Tell the story from the future, the beginning is exquisite special effects, which should be able to catch the attention of many people, Gu Cancan thought, the next plot is that He Hongwei completed the unification theory according to He Xi's "Micro Continuity Principle", and successfully created a time machine to return to He Xi's era, showing He Xi's tragic life from the perspective of a bystander beyond time and space.
The matter of the script is probably solved, Gu Cancan is quite satisfied with the current version of the script, and has set the script, but there are many other problems, first of all, the actors.
The starring Lin Xi is a person with some emotional disorders, who is bent on academics, and in his world, only his academics and girlfriends can ignore him. Gu Cancan filmed "Buried Alive" before, and was shocked by Wang Qianyuan's acting skills, and decided to have Wang Qianyuan play He Xi.
In addition to He Xi, there are several important roles that remain unresolved.
First of all, it is He Xi's mother Xia Qunfang.
Xia Qunfang is a great person, all her mother's love is poured into He Xi, and she lives for her son all her life. When Gu Cancan saw the role of Xia Qunfang, the first reaction in his mind was Liu Lili.
Many people may not be familiar with this name, but as long as they see her photos, they will suddenly realize that Liu Lili is famous for starring in "The Fence Woman and the Dog", "The Wheel Woman and the Well", and "The Ancient Boat Woman and the Net".
She has played a lot of roles, most of them are the image of mothers after middle age, and it can be said that every role is played vividly, such as Xiong Dun's mother in "Get Out, Tumor", and Xu's mother in "Little Husband", who are also mothers, with different identities and personalities, and the characters shown are two completely different images, real acting old artists.
In fact, there is really no shortage of good actors in Huaxia.
He Hongwei in the original work only appeared at the end to show the strength of He Xi's theory, but in the script of the bright era, he became a key character, and it can even be said that he is the protagonist.
The image of He Hongwei imagined in Gu Cancan's mind was an elegant middle-aged man with a bookish temperament.
Chen Zhiming is very suitable for this role, but his value, Gu Cancan has to consider whether he can afford it.
and He Xi's girlfriend Jiang Xue, many people on the Internet commented that she was a green tea, but Gu Cancan didn't think so.
Jiang Xue has a wealthy family background and beautiful appearance, what is shown in the original book is simple, heartless, but her emotional intelligence is not high, and her relationship with friends, especially money, is not clear, which is very criticized, and also lays the groundwork for the break with He Xi in the future. But if you want to talk about her green tea, it won't be, He Xi has been a loser in the eyes of everyone except his mother from beginning to end, weirdos, Jiang Xue and He Xi have been dating for many years, if it was for money, it would be impossible for the two to be together for so many years.
I can only say that this is the reality.
Jiang Xue's role is very easy to choose, it is okay to be beautiful, of course, at least the acting skills must be passed.
There are too many such actors in the entertainment industry, there is no shortage of beautiful actresses in the entertainment industry, there are female fugitives with amazing looks and fresh names in the wine industry, and it is not easy to find an actress with some acting skills and beautiful looks in the entertainment industry, there are too many options for this.
However, Gu Cancan's first choice is to choose from the actors signed by himself in the bright era.
Wang Zhi, that is, Qiu Ya in "Charlotte's Troubles" is very suitable.
Since signing Wang Zhi, Bright Times has never given her a particularly important role, this actor actually has very solid acting skills, pure and beautiful appearance, a good figure to explode, and has practiced martial arts since childhood, and is an actor who can become popular if someone praises her.
Jiang Xue will settle on Wang Zhi.
As for the other roles, competing with Lao Mai and Lao Kang, Gu Cancan hasn't figured out who will play it, so he will audition if he can't do it.
The screenwriters left first, and Gu Cancan didn't leave in the small conference room, silently thinking about the film.
At this moment, the door to the conference room was pushed open.
It was Su Luo's assistant Ding Qian.
Ding Qian dressed up as an elite in the workplace, and said in a quick tone: "Mr. Gu, it turns out that you are here, and no one has answered your call. Mr. Gu has something to look for you, and a Taiwanese Mr. Su has come to the company. ”
Gu Cancan took out her mobile phone to take a look, and sure enough, there were several missed calls, and she set the mute when she was discussing "Heartbreaker" with the screenwriter just now.
"Okay, let's go to Mr. Su's office." As he spoke, Gu Cancan got up and walked out with Ding Qian, and asked at the same time, "Mr. Su from Taiwan?" ”
"Yes, the full name seems to be Su Zhaobing, I'm sorry I didn't hear it too clearly at the time." Ding Qian said.
Gu Cancan's footsteps paused, Su Zhaobing? It should be Su Zhaobin.
There are not many Taiwanese people she can remember in the original time and space, but Su Zhaobin is one, he is the director of "Rain of Swords".
Is that him?
When they met in Su Luo's office, it was really Su Zhaobin in Gu Cancan's memory.
Su Zhaobin came to the mainland to attract investment.
The mainland has money, this is the truest idea of all Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers in recent years.
Not only is he rich, but he is also stupid......
In many movies and TV series co-produced by Hong Kong and Taiwan in the mainland, the salary of the supporting roles played by actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan is higher than that of the protagonist in the mainland, and even behind the scenes, the same prop master and makeup artist do the same work, and the salary of Hong Kong and Taiwan can be more than double that of the mainland, which is simply Shi Lezhi.
Therefore, knowing that going to the mainland will be disgusted by the people on the island, many Taiwanese stars still come to the mainland with their heads held high.
Without him, there is money to be made! No one is at odds with money!
Even Xu Ruoxuan, who regards the country as his mother country, will lick his face and preside over Huabiao.
In 2006, after Su Zhaobin finished filming "Silk", he wrote a script called "Sword Rain Jianghu".
After the script was completed, he wanted to attract investment, only to find out that this was a movie that cost at least 30 million, which was still because he did not choose a big-name actor to play the starring role.
With Su Zhaobin's own connections, it is completely impossible to pull in so much money.
Wu Yusen was Su Zhaobing's teacher, and his friends advised him to hang up Wu Yusen's name.
But Su Zhaobin had concerns in his heart, he didn't really want to do this.
First of all, Wu Yusen is now mainly working in Hollywood, but he just messed up "The Wind Whisperer" and his reputation has been greatly damaged;
Secondly, Wu Yusen is good at hero films, a rain of bullets.
But Su Zhaobin's "Sword Rain" is the simplest martial arts movie, and it mainly tells the content of the protagonist's life in the market, which is a standard anti-hero movie;
Another point, Wu Yusen's domineering reputation is not untargeted, Su Zhaobin is worried that after his project is named Wu Yusen, he may lose the project and never return to his head.
Wu Yusen is Wu Yusen after all, even if he messed up a big production, he is also Wu Baige, who directed "The True Colors of Heroes" and "Across the Seas", and this qualification alone is enough for him to modify the script at will according to his own intentions.
Wu Yusen is an idle person, as long as he joins in, "Sword Rain Rivers and Lakes" will not be Su Zhaobin's "Sword Rain Rivers and Lakes"!
Su Zhaobin decided to come to the mainland to try his luck, maybe he could meet the wronged ......, no, he met Bole!
The first thing I looked for was definitely Shi Zhongying and Huayi. China Film and Huayi are definitely reluctant to invest in a new director, and the same is true for light.
The most important thing is that his script is not marketable at all, it is too literary!
Moreover, Su Zhaobin's popularity in the mainland is slightly equal to zero...
After being introduced, Su Zhaobin got acquainted with Zhang Xiaoqing, that is, the chief agent of the bright era, she brought Wan Qian and Wang Kai, Zhang Xiaoqing read the script and said that she felt it, but she couldn't be the master, but she was willing to introduce Su Zhaobin to Su Luo and Gu Cancan to meet.
So Su Zhaobin came to the capital.
He had heard of Gu Cancan's name, and he specially checked the information on the Internet, only to find out that Gu Cancan was actually just a girl under the age of eighteen.
A very powerful little girl.
Knowing some of Gu Cancan's situation, Su Zhaobin was shocked.
Are all the little girls so strong now?
But this is a martial arts movie, girls shouldn't like it, Su Zhaobin is full of apprehension.
Gu Cancan came to Su Luo's office and saw such a scene, a short-haired man with glasses was sitting by the window, with a cup of coffee in front of him, he was unconsciously stirring the coffee, and the coffee was spinning in the cup, glowing with white and delicate foam.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Su Zhaobin raised his head and saw a particularly beautiful girl walking in, even though he had seen photos on the Internet, but seeing Gu Cancan's real person at this moment, Su Zhaobin still breathed, Gu Cancan himself was even more amazing than in the photo.
Gu Cancan glanced at Su Zhaobin a few times and said with a smile: "Mr. Su, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”
"No, no, no. It was me who came abruptly. Su Zhaobin got up and bowed slightly, and said: "I have heard of Mr. Gu's fame for a long time, and I saw it today, and it really deserves its reputation." ”
"Hehe, I've won awards. Mr. Su speaks Chinese well. Gu Cancan sat opposite Su Zhaobin.
Su Luo said: "Cancan, do you know Su Zhaobin and Su Dao? That's great. A few days ago, Xiaoqing mentioned to me that Director Su was coming, but fortunately you are in the company today. ”
"Hmm." Gu Cancan nodded and said to Su Zhaobin: "I have watched Director Su's "Silk", and the plot is very good. ”
After exchanging a few words, Su Zhaobin relaxed a little, he has been running around in the mainland for so long, and he who has been rejected is almost doubting his life.
It's not the same as saying yes!
"I heard that Director Su has a script and is looking for investment, right?" Gu Cancan brought the topic on the right track.
Su Zhaobin's spirit was shocked, isn't he here for this, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I plan to make a martial arts movie called "Sword Rain Jianghu", this story is very innovative......
Listening to Su Zhaobin tell the general plot, Gu Cancan had the bottom in his heart, basically the story in the original time and space.
"Sword Rain Rivers and Lakes" first of all, this story is very good, there are new ideas, and the bridge where the male and female protagonists change faces together, anyone who sees it will be dazzled.
In addition, the characters in it are also wonderful, and there is a lot of room for play in both form and connotation.
With these two points in mind, it is enough to decide to invest in this film.
In the original time and space, Gu Cancan liked this movie very much, she had thought about making "Sword Rain", but she was not sure when Su Zhaobin wrote the script, in case she collided with Su Zhaobin, it would be difficult to explain.
Later, she had a lot of things, and she gradually forgot about this movie.
Unexpectedly, the original screenwriter and director of "Rain of Swords" took the initiative to come to the bright era today, which made Gu Cancan very happy.
"The story is very exciting, does Director Su bring the script? I'd like to take a closer look. Gu Cancan made a request.
Su Zhaobin provided the script to Gu Cancan as a matter of course, and he was not worried about being plagiarized by the other party.
Holding the script, Gu Cancan said: "I want to take a closer look at the script, Director Su is interested, you can visit our bright era, eat here at noon, and I will discuss this movie with you in the afternoon, is it okay?" ”
"Of course there is no problem." Su Zhaobin very much recognized Gu Cancan's attitude, and hope rose in his heart, Gu Cancan seemed to attach great importance to his script, does this mean that there is a great possibility of investment?
Gu Cancan asked Su Luo to help entertain Su Zhaobin, and he took the script back to the office to study.
Sure enough, it was still the plot in his memory, Gu Cancan quickly flipped through the script, then closed the script, and began to think in his heart.
"Rain of Swords" is of course a good story, but it is not without loopholes, at least in Gu Cancan's opinion, many of the content in it is unreasonable.
If you want to invest, Gu Cancan will definitely change some of the plot, and some of the characters will have to be reset, I don't know if Su Zhaobin can accept it?
In the afternoon, the conference room.
"Director Su, I have read the script carefully, it is very exciting, I like it very much. However, I also have a few questions, and I would like to exchange views with Director Su. Gu Cancan said with a smile.
"Miss Gu, I'm honored that my script can be valued by you, please say." 、
Gu Cancan smiled and said: "First point, I look at the setting in the script, the Wheel King is the leader of the Black Stone, and he is powerful, so how can he be willing to be a low-level eunuch?" I don't feel like there's enough convincing and logic between the two. ”
"Uh......" Su Zhaobin organized the language and said slowly: "That's the case, the Wheel King entered the palace at the age of 12, served as a eunuch for 50 years, and single-handedly founded Blackstone. He may want to practice peerless martial arts, and then seek to usurp the throne, and then pass on the country to future generations, but all this starts from becoming a real man. So while he was enduring in the palace, he searched for Rama's body and wanted to regenerate his organs. Because I think that the rivers and lakes are all composed of desires and desires, and there is no conflict without desires and desires, I prefer to express these individuals rather than those big, broad, and magnificent things. ”
Although it was an exchange between the director and the director, Su Zhaobin still felt a little weird to discuss the issue of a eunuch with such a beautiful little girl......
