Chapter 317: Choosing a Script
The headquarters of Galaxy Entertainment has been immersed in busyness, and the mountains of script manuscripts have almost flooded the email address.
This is just one of the channels, those screenwriters who have long been famous, and their submissions are directly found in the senior management of the film and television department.
After a week, under the strict control of several directors and Minister Liang signed by Galaxy, five movies with good quality were finally screened.
In Minister Liang's office, the four heavyweight directors of the film and television department have all arrived.
"The stakes are very high, you all take a look, these five scripts are not bad, and now the department's budget is relatively sufficient, you can buy them all, but you can only have one copy to participate in the May film festival!"
"So we have to choose carefully, and we must choose the best one!"
"There is not enough time, we must concentrate all our efforts to do great things!"
Minister Liang said in a deep voice, and in front of his desk, there were five scripts that had been printed on it.
"With such a lot of manpower and influence, I only picked out five books, I thought there would be more!" Director Qian casually pulled a chair and sat down, and then pulled out a script from the table and took it to his hand.
"What do you think, the review of the script this time is strictly controlled, and it is very good to have five copies, at least the story is definitely excellent!"
It was Director Zhong who spoke, he was one of the two chief directors of Galaxy, the face character!
The other chief director is naturally Director Chen, who filmed "Between Heavens", today he didn't say much, he didn't say anything, just silently took a script and began to read.
The last director was Director Wang, who said with a smile: "At least there are options, that's enough, I also wanted to spend some time writing a script and giving it a try, but I've been busy reviewing the script these days." Can't spare time! ”
didn't talk for too long, and several directors quickly immersed themselves in the content of the script that had been carefully selected in the past few days.
The name of the script in Director Zhong's hand is "Extreme Cold", which is a movie that cuts into the story from the theme of polar scientific research, and the theme is relatively novel, so Director Wang also watched it very seriously.
They are all well-known directors in the industry, and they have a lot of pictures in their minds.
Just by looking at the text description of the script, the corresponding picture can appear in everyone's mind.
Fifteen minutes passed, Director Zhong finished reading the script in his hand for the first time, nodded and exclaimed:
"This "Extreme Cold" is not bad, the perspective is very novel, but it is a bit difficult to shoot."
"I don't think it's a loss to buy this "Extreme Cold", even if it doesn't have to be on the Palme d'Or in May, I really want to shoot it."
His words fell, and several other directors cast curious glances.
Director Zhong's coffee position in the film and television industry is not low, and it can be said that it is very rare to get such a script from him.
All of a sudden, everyone had a great curiosity about the book "Extreme Cold" and wanted to see it.
And Director Zhong also used his hand to pick up the last script on the table that no one had read yet, after all, he was a director, and he would definitely have curiosity about excellent scripts.
The scripts that can be placed here today are definitely very good, and he naturally wants to read more books.
The other three directors also had this mentality, and read the book in their hands as quickly as possible, and then went to get the empty one.
Minister Liang was not in a hurry, he sipped the tea and waited patiently.
More than 40 minutes have passed, and the scripts of the four directors have also been read.
"Almost, let's talk about the pros and cons of these scripts first." Minister Liang put down the steaming teacup and looked at the four directors with a serious face.
"I also read the content of "Extreme Cold" just now.,It's really a pretty good book.,If you don't consider other factors.,I think it's really good to shoot this one.。 Director Wang nodded solemnly and said.
"Well, but it's a pity that there is not enough time, even if we concentrate all the strength of the company to shoot, I am afraid it will be too late to catch up with the release in May!" Director Qian also expressed his approval.
Hearing the two directors say this, Minister Liang chuckled and said:
"Just now, I was afraid that you would have subjective tendencies, so I didn't reveal to you who the author of the script was, this "Extreme Cold" is the work of Teacher Gong Cheng!"
As soon as Mr. Gong Cheng's four words came out, the four directors all showed shock.
"Teacher Gong Cheng? He hasn't had a new work in the past four or five years, I thought he had quit the film and television industry, but I didn't expect to write such a good script! ”
"He's such a powerful old man, no wonder I read this script with an old pen, and there is a sense of age everywhere."
"In this way, there is indeed the shadow of his old man in it, especially in the last part of the snowfield storm, and that sense of despair can only be understood by him."
This teacher Gong Cheng, whether in terms of age or strength, is indeed worthy of being called a teacher by them.
"But after all, it's really not long before May, and I'm afraid it's a bit hasty to shoot "Extreme Cold", and when the time comes, I will ruin such a good script..."Director Zhong's voice was a little hesitant.
As a top director, he will feel regretful when he sees that such a good script cannot be filmed perfectly.
"Well, let's discuss it with his old man, presumably he doesn't want this movie to be buried, this script can be used in October, if he really wants to win glory for the country, the Palme d'Or will still be held next year!"
"That's right, it only took less than four months to shoot this drama, it's too rushed!"
Hearing this, Minister Liang nodded and continued: "Okay, I will communicate with him about this later, so you can talk about the remaining four scripts, which one is better to take to participate in the Palme d'Or in May?"
"I think "Free City" can be passed first, the characters are too complicated, and there are too many plot lines, unless a few are cut!"
"I voted for "Umbrella"!"
"Well, I also voted for "The Umbrella"!"
""The Umbrella" is good, the story is short but not deep, and the reversals in it are very unexpected, it is a very good movie!"
In the words of several directors, the fate of these five scripts was quickly decided.
Among them, "The Umbrella" was selected to participate in the Cannes Film Festival in May, and "Extreme Cold" was also bought, which made several directors a little greedy.
The remaining three copies of "Free City" were eliminated, and the other two companies were also ready to spend some budget to buy the script, and then they had to take it out for filming.
Both!
When he was about to end, the mobile phone in Director Wang's pocket suddenly vibrate.
Well?
Director Wang took out his mobile phone, and when he saw the name on the caller ID, a strange look suddenly appeared in his eyes.
At this time, Shen Feng called, could it be that there are also works ready, right?
