521 Writing a screenplay
Today is the second day after returning from Cannes, Yu Dongqing got up at half past six as usual, changed into sweatpants, went out to run along the path by Qianhai Lake for half an hour, and then went home to take a shower, and after getting dressed, he had breakfast with his wife and children and the little nanny.
Breakfast is also very simple, millet porridge steamed buns or buns and pickles, an egg, Mingmei likes to eat bread and lettuce salad with her son, and a glass of milk.
However, Yu Dongqing is not interested in bread salad.
The family was eating in the restaurant when they heard someone ring the doorbell at the gate of the courtyard.
"I'll take a look." The little nanny Xiaxia hurried out of the restaurant.
"Uncle Li, so early?"
When Yu Dongqing heard the little nanny greeting, he knew that it was Li Wan who came.
There are not many guests who come to Yu Dongqing's small courtyard, except for Liu Yimin, the most is Li Wan.
Sure enough, I saw Li Wan hurriedly walking in with a briefcase.
"Brother Li, have you eaten, let's have breakfast together?" Bright and warm greetings.
"Don't say you leave early in the morning and haven't had time to eat." Li Wan said with a smile.
If you are familiar, you are welcome.
"Come, sit, sit, Xiaxia, you go and serve milk and porridge." Yu Dongqing commanded.
"I don't like milk, scoop me a bowl of porridge, I see that your millet porridge is cooked well."
The little nanny brought a bowl of porridge, and Li Wan ate the steamed bun after washing his hands.
Li Wan obviously has something, but Yu Dongqing doesn't like to talk about work when eating, the two chatted while eating, and when they came to the study after eating, Yu Dongqing asked. "Li Wan, come here so early, is there something urgent?"
Li Wan's expression was a little mysterious, and he lowered his voice: "Dongqing, when I went to Shanghai last month, did I invest a sum of money in Wei Wenming's RAYS Technology Company, and the amount is not small?" ”
"You know all about this?" Yu Dongqing was very surprised.
invested in RAYS by himself, except for Wei Wenming and Yang Liang, two partners, as well as a few people in his studio, Yu Dongqing didn't tell any outsiders, and he didn't even know about his three iron buddies.
How did he know?
Looking at Yu Dongqing's surprised eyes, Li Wan smiled: "This matter is coincidental, it has something to do with my son." ”
Li Wan talked about the reason.
It turned out that Li Wan's son graduated from the California Institute of Technology with a master's degree in computer science this summer, and he planned not to come back to stay in the United States, but he had already contacted a company in Silicon Valley, but was invited by Wei Wenming to work in his company.
It is said that your company has received a huge investment, and you need talents like you to expand the scale, and if you do a good job, you can also get a company reward share.
Besides, China is a blue ocean for video special effects production, and the future is bright.
"My son was a little tempted when he heard this, and asked you who invested in their company, and he came back with his luggage!"
Yu Dongqing laughed when he heard it:
"Isn't this good, you are a precious son, if he stays in the United States, you will have to travel far and wide to visit him when he is old. Now the high-speed rail from Yanjing to Shanghai is only 4 or 5 hours, how convenient! Hurry up and buy a suite for your son in Shanghai and prepare to marry a daughter-in-law! ”
"I have an empty apartment in Minhang, Shanghai, which is relatively close to the company, so if he wants to live, he can go and live. The question is, Holly, are you really bullish on the industry? ”
This is the real reason why Li Wan is looking for Yu Dongqing today.
"Of course, you think I invested heavily in Rays just to make a 'The Wandering Earth'?" Yu Dongqing said with a smile: "Look at Hollywood, how popular those awesome special effects companies are!" ”
"But our country's film and television industry is not Hollywood after all."
"That's because you producers would rather spend a lot of money on those so-called traffic stars than invest in special effects companies to do special effects seriously!" Yu Dongqing said sarcastically.
"The era of trying to fool the audience with five-cent special effects will always pass, and looking at this year's Spring Festival "Yanjing Fortress" is the most typical example! Was scolded by the fans, right? ”
"There's no way, there are so many movie budgets, and actors' salaries account for the majority, how much money can you have left?" Li Wan cried out.
"Don't worry, the state will not sit idly by and ignore the abnormally high salaries of film and television stars, and will definitely suppress and limit salaries." Yu Dongqing said.
"Okay, I don't want to do so much anymore, what does the kid want to do. Holly, do you really want to shoot "The Wandering Earth"? Li Wan said.
"If you let the words out, can you still regret it?" Yu Dongqing asked rhetorically.
"That's okay, I'll do the production, you hurry up and write the script, and I'll make the budget when it's over."
"What's the hurry? I just got back from Cannes and haven't rested yet. Yu Dongqing said.
"You came to Cannes just to enjoy the mountains and rivers, you think I don't know?" Li Wan said unceremoniously: "Look at Liang Xiyan and Ye Xiaomin, they are playing and eating in the circle of friends every day!" ”
it!
Yu Dongqing felt that he couldn't refute it.
"Let's start writing as soon as possible, according to what you say, I estimate that the cost of this film is astronomical, and finding investment is a big problem!" Li Wan stood up after speaking.
"Okay, you're busy, I'll go first."
Yu Dongqing sent Li Wan to the gate of the courtyard, and couldn't help but shake his head when he saw him drive away.
This guy is all about doing everything, and he doesn't look like a person who is almost 50.
But Li Wan's words also have to be listened to.
So, Yu Dongqing temporarily gave up the idea of fishing, drinking tea, and drinking beer with his iron buddies, and locked himself in the study alone to write the script first.
The script of "The Wandering Earth" is not complicated, and the lines are not as strict as Wong Kar-wai's "East Evil and West Poison", which is relatively colloquial.
It is
Yu Dongqing felt that in that time and space, the last paragraph of "The Wandering Earth 1" Han Duoduo was a bit too sensational, and he was in a hurry.
Slightly changed.
Yu Dongqing stopped writing in the study, and after a week of writing, the first reader was, of course, his daughter-in-law Mingmei.
"Come, let's see."
Bright and curious, lying on the side of the computer, looking carefully.
Yu Dongqing sat on the side and drank tea slowly.
"Wow! It's almost the same as I imagined, to highlight the unity of human beings, to overcome difficulties, and to pay attention to family affection! Mingmei said after watching it: "The audience will definitely like to watch it when it is filmed like this." ”
Oh, yes
The audience likes to watch it, but unfortunately the spiritual core in Da Liu's original work has been replaced.
It's a bit of a pity, but it has to be done.
"The Wandering Earth" was originally a commercial blockbuster, and he didn't want to make it like "2001: A Space Odyssey".
It's so awesome, the average person can't understand it at all.
Since Mingmei said that there was no big problem, Yu Dongqing revised some details, and then sent directly to Li Wan on WeChat, applying for the project, making a budget and pulling investment, and a series of things were waiting for him.
On June 8, Yu Dongqing's studio officially announced on its official Weibo that it was preparing to shoot "The Wandering Earth", which was immediately rushed to the hot search after the news was released.
And on this day, the Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster "Silver Star Empire 5" was released simultaneously around the world.
