Wu Shangfei hurriedly stretched out his hand, "I'm Wu Shangfei, and this is Zhou Renfa." It must be Mr. Yang, right? ”

Yang Xiao also hurriedly stretched out his hands. "I'm Yang Xiao. Hello, Wu Dao. Hello, Mr. Zhou. ”

After a few people sat down, Wu Shangfei looked at Yang Xiao's female classmates who came with him standing behind Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao smiled. "Don't be surprised, Wu Dao. Ah Feng is my classmate and my bodyguard. ”

Hearing Yang Xiao say this, Wu Shangfei and Zhou Renfa were stunned. Could it be that high school students in the mainland can be equipped with bodyguards? Is there a story in this that they don't know? But Yang Xiao didn't say it, and they didn't want to ask deeply.

"Mr. Yang, my old Wu is in a hurry, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, please don't be surprised."

Yang Xiao made a gesture of please, and slowly listened to Director Wu tell him about his affairs, his thoughts, his understanding of the film and his own ideas. Listening and listening, Yang Xiao slowly had a few words that naturally appeared in his mind: "Aesthetics of violence." ”

Yang Xiao carefully observed the one in front of him again, which was somewhat similar to Director Wu Da in his previous life, but there were also differences. I think director Wu Da was the originator of the series of movies with violent aesthetics, "The True Colors of Heroes", "Bloody Heroes", and "Across the Seas".

After going to Hollywood, as an A-level director in Hollywood, "Broken Sword", "Changing Face", and "Mission Impossible 2" are all classics and have won numerous awards. Seeing the person in front of him, he had a plan in his heart.

After Yang Xiao waited for Director Wu to finish speaking, he looked at him intently. "After listening to your explanation, can I understand that the style of your filmmaking belongs to the category of violent aesthetics. The personal emotions that are prominently expressed, especially brotherhood and suffering, are important, and no matter how cruel the scene is, it does not lose the love and compassion of human nature. ”

When Director Wu heard Yang Xiao say this, he stood up suddenly, stretched out his hands, held Yang Xiao tightly, shook it vigorously, and couldn't speak. Surprised, excited, and depressed, a variety of emotions are intertwined.

Yang Xiao stood up, and he also understood Director Wu's mood at the moment, this was all a summary of this style by celebrities in his previous life, and now he said that Director Wu's mind was right. Director Wu tries his best to promote this violent aesthetics, but there is no market for movies in Hong Kong City, and now there is such a screenwriter who understands him, how can he not be excited?

After Director Wu calmed down, Yang Xiao said to him. "I also love this type of film. Some time ago, I also wrote an outline of a script and perfected part of it. If Director Wu is interested, we can study it together. ”

"Mr. Yang, I'm interested, so interested." Director Wu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to see the script immediately. Yang Xiao summed up his thoughts too well, the aesthetics of violence, and the bosom friend. He no longer doubts Yang Xiao's ability, and a great screenwriter deserves to be a great screenwriter.

"Okay, that's it, I'll bring the script over tomorrow morning." Seeing Director Wu nodding uncontrollably, Yang Xiao said to Zhou Renfa again.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou. Patronized and chatted with Director Wu. ”

Zhou Renfa smiled and waved his hand very humbly. "It's okay, Mr. Yang. I am also very interested in what you said, and it is an honor for me to be able to work with Mr. Yang. ”

Yang Xiao looked at Zhou Renfa, his appearance and temperament were very similar to Fa Ge in his previous life, I don't know if he had a similar experience with Fa Ge. At this time, Director Wu said. "Ah Fa's acting skills are also good. It's just that he has acted in a few movies that hit the streets, and now he is being used as box office poison by the outside world, but he doesn't have a good book. ”

Yang Xiao smiled when he heard this. It's really similar to Fa Ge's experience. "I believe in Mr. Zhou's acting skills. It can be seen from the eyes that my script is very suitable for Mr. Zhou to play the leading role. ”

"Then thank you Mr. Yang for your love." Zhou Renfa's eyes lit up, and he said without knowing the timing.

Seeing that everything was almost over, Yang Xiao got up and said at this time. "Then for now, I'll ask for a special snack from the two gentlemen Ender. Allow me to be one of the landlords, and we can also talk while eating. ”

Yang Xiao took the two of them to Ande, a more famous pancake shop, and ate Ande's special snacks once, and the two guests were full of praise. During the meal, they exchanged their understanding and opinions on the film. After eating, Yang Xiao sent the two to the hotel, and he took Ah Feng home.

Back at home, Yang Xiao sat at his desk, and after going through the movie "The True Color of Heroes" in his mind, he picked up the pen and began to write.

After Director Wu and Zhou Renfa returned to the hotel, the two began to chat in the room again.

"Ah Fa, what do you think of Mr. Yang?"

Zhou Renfa thought for a moment and sighed slightly. "Director Wu, I didn't expect that there would be a screenwriter in the mainland who thinks the same as you, and he is also a student. It gave me the feeling that the script was already done, and besides, he was confident. ”

Director Wu looked at him and smiled slightly. "To be honest, I didn't really trust Mr. Yang at first. Violent aesthetics, I like that word very much, I like to describe it that way. ”

"Anyway, I still like that Mr. Yang has a deep understanding of my film ideas. Hearing him say this, I was embarrassed to take out the outline of the script I had written. Of course, there is also Wu Shangfei's consideration of Yang Xiao's ingredients.

Wu Shangfei paused slightly after speaking, and said again with some loneliness. "In Hong Kong City, maybe only Director Yu Ke can understand me a little." Zhou Renfa knew that Wu Shangfei's return to Hong Kong City was highly recommended by Director Yu Ke.

The next day, Director Wu finally saw the script brought by Yang Xiao, "The True Colors of Heroes", and it was very domineering when he looked at the name. He watched it for more than an hour, and looked at Zhou Renfa on the side with great surprise. Director Wu's face was simply unpredictable, surprised, happy, angry, excited, and sighed.

After reading the script, Director Wu took a long breath with his eyes closed, as if he was reminiscing. It took him a long time to open his eyes and shoot the script with his hands. "Admire, admire. Mr. Yang is talented, I dare to say that this script is a classic among classics, and the box office should be very good. ”

Yang Xiao smiled slightly when he heard this. "Director Wu is polite, if you like it, you can do it."

At this time, Director Wu pushed the script in front of Zhou Renfa. He also saw Yang Xiao's limitation on the role, and he also knew in his heart that Zhou Renfa wanted to come with him.

"Ah Fa, you can also read the script. This protagonist is simply set for you. Zhou Renfa was excited when he heard this, and hurriedly took the script and read it. If there is no director, he will not touch this script, which is also the rule in the industry.

At this time, Director Wu said to Yang Xiao, "Mr. Yang, I like this script very much, thank you." You can make a price for the script fee, and I will never bargain. ”

Yang Xiao thought for a moment. "I'm very happy that Director Wu can like my script. I think this movie is a big production and the cost is relatively high, I have an idea. ”

Yang Xiao looked at it, and Director Wu nodded in agreement. Yang Xiao continued. "Look at this, I don't have to pay the script fee first, it can be turned into an investment, and you only need to pay 3% of the total box office share."

Director Wu was slightly stunned when he heard Yang Xiao say this, he didn't expect Yang Xiao to put forward the idea of box office sharing. After quickly totaling it in his mind, he estimated the movie according to the plot of the script, and the cost should be about five million.

In the future, Director Wu is estimated to have a box office of no less than 20 million, so the 3% share is about 600,000. The price, although a bit high, felt in his heart that it was worthy of such a classic script. And the box office share is paid after the release of the film, which is equivalent to Yang Xiao also taking some risks.
