Chapter 270: Time Traveling Drama
I haven't seen a few people for a long time, and they talk a lot, especially Jay Chou.
I don't know if it's because I talked about my girlfriend, I used to talk like a stuffy oil bottle, but now I seem a lot more cheerful.
"Yifei, I'm really sorry, I want to attend the wedding between you and Yunting, but I really didn't have the time."
"Hey, Director Zhou, that's too much of an outrage. It's best if you can come, and it's okay not to come, after all, everyone is very busy. ”
Jay Chou smiled shyly, and then punished himself with three cups.
Several people met because of the movie, and today they got together because of the movie, and the final topic came to "The Secret That Can't Be Said".
This film is really popular in South Korea, and it has been rescreened five or six times in South Korea in recent years, which can be described as making a lot of money.
And some time ago, Broadway in the United States contacted me and asked for the script of "The Secret That Can't Be Said", saying that it wanted to be made into a musical.
Huo Yunting was a little smacked when he heard it, he really didn't expect that this movie could be linked to a musical.
But thinking about it again, "Crazy Stone" was also changed into a drama version by Happy Twist, and I don't think it's strange.
"Director Zhou, when will this musical be officially performed?"
"Then I feel like it's going to be another two or three years. Not to mention the selection of actors, props and sets, they haven't even figured out the script of the musical. ”
Huo Yunting gave a thumbs up, "Jielun, should you say it or not, you really don't have to say anything about your talent." is a singer, and his debut film can be nominated for the Golden Horse Golden Statue. ”
As soon as he heard Huo Yunting praise himself, Jay Chou's cheeks couldn't help but turn a little red.
"Yunting, let's not talk about movies, I don't plan to contact movies again in the future, it's better to specialize in music."
Huo Yunting raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?" ”
After the word-of-mouth and box office harvest of "The Secret That Can't Be Said", he himself was also complacent, and the next year he planned to shoot his second movie "Slam Dunk".
This film has only reached the point where there is no loss, and the reputation is at a low point. It can't be said that it is unsatisfactory, it can only be said that even he himself is not satisfied.
And some of the movies he has participated in over the years, such as "The City Full of Golden Armor", "Thorn Tomb", and "The Green Hornet" released at the beginning of this year, etc., are basically bad reputations.
So much so that Jay Chou doesn't want to touch the field of movies at all now.
Huo Yunting patted his thigh after listening, "Jielun, you have to stand up." Who hasn't experienced a few failures on the road to success. ”
Jay Chou waved his hand with a wry smile on his face, "Don't worry, I've failed enough times in the field of movies." ”
"I can see it clearly, just develop in the industry I am good at, and don't cross industries. Yunting, I'm talking about this from experience. ”
"Hey, you seem to have said this a long time ago."
Huo Yunting slapped his head and handed him the script of "Charlotte's Troubles", "I have all written out this script, and I will be blind if I don't shoot it." ”
Looking at the script handed over, Jay Chou was stunned for a while before reacting, "You want to make a movie." ”
"Come on, let's read the script first."
Jay Chou took the script and looked at it carefully, and then the speed of turning the page became slower and slower.
“…… You certainly didn't write this script. ”
"Oh, why do you say that?"
"It's not like your style." Jay Chou thought thoughtfully, "How do you say it, this script ...... Not wild enough. It's too different from my impression of you. ”
"It's like many years later, the male protagonist Charlotte knew that there were gangsters who bullied the female protagonist, if this was your script, I think you would add a clip of Charlotte using his relationship to take revenge on this group of little hooligans."
Huo Yunting was slightly surprised, "Don't say it, I really let you say it right." ”
He did mention to Yan Fei at the beginning to add a clip of revenge on the hooligans, but Yan Fei refused.
This is also one of the few times Yan Fei argues with him because of the script.
In the end, Huo Yunting decided to respect Yan Fei's choice, after all, he was the creator of this script.
But well......
"Is my personality trait so obvious?"
Jay Chou and Liu Yifei both nodded heavily, "Obviously." ”
"It's like...... A scoundrel with a sense of justice. Jay Chou added.
"Hey, I think there is a sense of justice, and the hooligan is nonsense."
After the joke was over, Jay Chou supported his chin with both hands and stared at the script thoughtfully.
It seems that Huo Yunting came to him today not only to catch up, but also to have other things.
"Yunting, your script uses several of my songs."
"No, or why would I have come to you? Jaylen, sell me the copyright of these songs,"
"For the sake of the two of us who have known each other for many years, we will get a 20% discount."
Jay Chou nodded, "Copyright is easy to say......"
He didn't say how much, but looked at the script again.
Whimsical ideas, brain-blowing.
In terms of fun alone, it is definitely no less than "The Secret That Can't Be Said".
No, it should be said that this is a comedy in itself, far more than "The Secret That Can't Be Said".
"This male and female protagonist." Jay Chou stretched out two fingers, branched out, and pointed at Huo Yunting and Liu Yifei with two fingers, "Or are you two husbands and wives acting together?" ”
Huo Yunting shook his head, "It's not suitable." ”
"The two of us, this appearance is a little out of touch with the people."
Jay Chou was stunned for a while before he realized what he meant, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
It's the first time I've seen such boasting.
But he also had to admit that what Huo Yunting said did make sense.
If the faces of the two of them are to be the male and female protagonists, then this originally very down-to-earth story will become a little sunny and snowy.
"Then who do you choose as the male and female protagonist?"
"The male protagonist is a newcomer to my company.,As for the female protagonist.,Then I may have to discuss it with my partner.。
Jay Chou didn't ask about the cooperative company, but asked the question of the second girl, "Who is this Qiu Ya to play?" ”
The most prominent characters in the play are probably the male and female protagonists and Qiu Ya.
"Sissi."
Jay Chou was stunned, and Liu Yifei was also stunned.
I haven't said that before.
"Yunting, do you want me to play Qiu Ya?"
"You're the number one person in my heart. Of course, if you don't want to act, I don't force it. Nest is to say what I think. ”
"Hmm...... Then I'll think about it. ”
Liu Yifei dragged his cheeks and lowered his head in contemplation, and so did Jay Chou.
After a long time, Huo Yunting asked again about the copyright price, and Jay Chou shook his head.
"Forget it, there's no need. A song only sings a few words, what is there to charge for this. ”
Then he waved his hand, "You can use my song." ”
"Ouch, that's so funny."
"What's so embarrassing about that." Jay Chou scratched his cheeks, "But I still have a request I want to talk about......"
After saying goodbye to Jay Chou, the two took a taxi back to the hotel. By the time they finished washing up and lay down in bed, it was already early in the morning.
Huo Yunting leaned on the head of the bed and ticked the three words Jay Chou on the memo on his mobile phone.
There are also keywords such as Coca-Cola, Xu Wei, Zhang Chen, Ning Hao and so on.
Closing his eyes slightly, he planned the next trip to prepare for the movie, and then he looked at Liu Yifei, who was still meditating beside him, and gently tapped her head.
"What do you think?"
She had just finished taking a shower, and she was playing with the wet ends of her hair with her eyes, and even the bathrobe was not properly tied, half-covered and half-hidden, split to her lower abdomen.
"Don't catch a cold."
Huo Yunting gently stretched out his hand and helped her take off her bathrobe.
Then he took the person into his arms.
"Brother Yun, I really didn't find out that you were this kind of person before."
Liu Yifei looked at his bathrobe that had been crumpled and thrown to the corner of the bed, and couldn't help but beat his eyelids.
"It makes me feel like an idol is collapsing."
Huo Yunting pinched her nose angrily, "Are you still involved in the collapse of the idol?" I slept so long yesterday, what the hell are you-"
"Ahem! Brother Yun, do you think it's appropriate for me to play Qiu Ya? ”
"Tell me why you slept so long yesterday."
"I'm always afraid that I won't be able to act."
Looking at Liu Yifei's floating eyes, Huo Yunting sighed.
I really did something unseemly to me when I was asleep.
"Why isn't it appropriate, fairy sister. Aren't you the dream lover of thousands of old and young masters? You couldn't be more suitable to play the goddess. ”
"So who are you playing? Dasha Spring? ”
Thinking of the description of Dasha Chun in the script, Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing.
Huo Yunting thought thoughtfully, "Let's talk to Mr. Wang about this, and see if he is willing to give me a few actors." I think the big guy named Allen is pretty good. ”
It's a bit surprising to say that Yan Fei's sketch went in the third trial, and it really made Happy Twist enter the elevator that went straight to the top floor.
Huo Yunting was thinking about this elevator in his mind, and he was not honest when he held Liu Yifei's arm, and he drove away all the cold after a while.
As soon as the cold was gone, my body began to heat up. The heat rises from under the dantian, and then spreads all over the body along the meridians.
The whole person is like a blanched prawn.
Just when she was already so hot that her eyes were blurred, she finally couldn't help but speak, "That, Qiuya, this, this role, I'll play it......"
"Yo, I've figured it out so quickly."
Huo Yunting rubbed her forehead, "Don't have too much pressure, just play with it." ”
Liu Yifei stuck out his tongue, "Then you are really generous enough, a year's endorsement fee will let you play out like this, what a loser." When I go back, I'll tell my parents that you take 20 or 30 million to play tickets, and you don't care about your family ...... at all."
"Hey, ignore you, you're still energetic, aren't you?" Huo Yunting turned over and pressed her with a harrier, "Say, what did I do when I fell asleep yesterday?" ”
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to sue."
"Then I can't help you now."
"Don't-"
At noon the next day, the two left Baodao and returned to Beiping to find Zhang Chen.
The script of "Charlotte's Troubles" involves too many people and objects, all of which are the memories of people in the eighties and nineties.
Rebirth, the main thing is a feeling, and the sense of familiarity must be full.
Therefore, Huo Yunting feels that he can take on some advertisements within the appropriate range, all in order to enhance the audience's sense of reality.
Anyway, it won't be like Feng Xiaogang's "Private Customization", where about 20 advertisements are inserted in a film.
Where is this to watch a movie, this is a movie I watched by the way when watching an advertisement.
Although it is an advertisement, although Huo Yunting is an actor, although Huo Yunting is not a small fame.
But "Charlotte's Troubles" is his Virgo, and he is not the starring role, these advertisers are not very willing.
It's like Coca-Cola, he took the initiative to invite the other party to vote, but people didn't look down on it.
Although Huo Yunting is the spokesperson of the Huaxia region, the other party still politely declined the proposal to advertise in the movie.
Huo Yunting was very helpless, and then asked if he could go to Pepsi. The person in charge said that as long as the person holding Pepsi is not Mr. Huo, you can do it.
In the following days, Huo Yunting and Liu Yifei spent most of their time running around for copyright issues.
After traveling for several months, I have visited all parts of the country in the north and south, and it is all regarded as a honeymoon.
The honeymoon of the two of them was canceled because Wang Jiawei was going to make up for "The Grandmaster", and today it is considered to be made up.
By the end of December, the copyright issue had finally been resolved, and the team had been preliminarily decided.
The official start-up date is in early February.
Yan Fei, as the screenwriter of the crew, must be present throughout the process.
But years ago, he was still busy with the sketches of the Spring Festival Gala.
Originally, Zhang Chen, the male lead actor of this sketch, wanted Allen to top, but his acting skills seemed to be a little lacking, and in the end, he was forcibly pushed up by Huo Yunting, the major shareholder of Happy Twist.
In exchange, in addition to Ma Li, the heroine recognized by Huo Yunting, Zhang Chen also integrated many of Happy Twist's employees into Huo Yunting's crew.
The original purpose of his founding Happy Twist was to enter the film and television industry, but he was born at the wrong time, so he transformed into a drama.
Now that I have the opportunity, I am naturally desperate to push Happy Twist's employees in the film and television circle.
Don't say it, as soon as this group of people from Happy Twist came, looking at the appearance of this group of people, Huo Yunting really felt that it was quite suitable.
However, this is understandable, after all, when Yan Fei created the script, he "customized" the script according to the image of Happy Twist and them.
On January 22, 2012, Happy Twist's sketch "Today's Happiness" appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
Hao Jian's character image is completely portrayed, and Huo Yunting feels that it is expected to be a series of Spring Festival Gala dramas.
Shen Teng's wave can be regarded as a bonus from the Spring Festival Gala, and he can eat it for several more years after it is not rectified.
I just don't know if Zhang Chen will regret exchanging hostages with him.
In addition to the sketch of Happy Twist, there is also a sketch at this year's Spring Festival Gala that Huo Yunting cares about very much.
"Jing Ke Thorn Qin".
"Bring the thorn up."
"Bring Jing Ke up."
"I still have a harem play?"
"I can't do anything to be sorry for your mother......"
This is a skit of a satirical time-traveling drama.
Huo Yunting frowned slightly, thoughtful.
The sketches that can be on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala largely represent the meaning of the top.
However, this sketch is mainly a criticism of the time-traveling drama and the chaotic change of historical facts, and "Charlotte's Troubles" just makes a new singer appear in the entertainment industry.
It shouldn't be a big problem......
So can this time-traveling drama be done?
