Chapter 265: Start Working!
Templar Studios is a young screenwriter's studio.
Founded in 05, most of the founders are from the Department of Chinese Opera and Literature.
I work a lot, but I don't make much money, most of the time I am a gunman, either I continue and adapt it, or I don't wash the manuscript.
An original drama written before was finally broadcast this year, but the ratings were mediocre and did not make any waves.
However, it is good that it can be broadcast smoothly, and many screenwriter studios in the industry can't take the job.
When a work is broadcast, it has gained a certain reputation, and it will be easy to take over the job in the future.
Today they took on a big job.
An expanded outline of a film script.
From Zhang Yuanjun's studio.
This is a list from the studio of the first student in the entertainment industry!
The Templar Studio takes it very seriously.
The founder, Tian Yusheng, personally led a team to meet Zhang Yuanjun to communicate ideas.
Zhang Yuanjun warmly received Tian Yusheng and his entourage.
In response to the outline of the script that has been obtained, Tian Yusheng asked: "Can the title be changed?" The name "Introduction to Architecture" will make it difficult for the audience to understand, right? Can the hero and heroine change their majors? It's easy for us to write. ”
But this request was not accepted by Zhang Yuanjun: "No, the hero and heroine meet again after 15 years because of the old house that needs to be renovated, and architecture is a very important link." ”
This is the script that Liu Yifei wrote with Zhang Yuanjun to stay up late, when Liu Yifei knew that this movie was written by Zhang Yuanjun for her, she excitedly rewarded him in Zhang Yuanjun's office.
Luckily, it was a weekend, and there was no ghost on the entire floor except for the two of them.
However, Zhang Yuanjun still scolded her for messing around afterwards.
"The basic characters and story outline are here, how long will it take for you to come up with the first draft? We are in a hurry for this play, and the producer urgently needs to get the script to find the director, actors and attract investment. ”
"A month."
"17 days." Zhang Yuanjun didn't have so much time to spend on the script, "Moreover, I have a request, I can't write kiss scenes, let alone bed scenes." ”
"Isn't this kind of pure love film without a kiss scene?"
"What I want is the hazy beauty of love, not to write kiss scenes for the protagonist. At most, I want to kiss but can't kiss this. ”
"Okay." Tian Yusheng agreed. Pure love film, you can write without kissing, take the job down first, get the first payment, and then talk!
The script communication meeting was held all morning, and Tian Yusheng and others went back to catch up with the script with full opinions.
The reason why he asked not to write a kiss scene was because Zhang Yuanjun couldn't act, and if he wanted to act, he would add a kiss scene to death, and fall in love at public expense and kiss his girlfriend.
For this reason, Liu Yifei also complained to him: "You don't accompany me in romance movies, you just watch me fall in love with others, right?" ”
Zhang Yuanjun is a professional actor, but he can at most accept Liu Yifei falling in love in the play, it's okay to hold hands and hug her, but it's not okay to kiss, let alone think about passion scenes.
After arranging "Introduction to Architecture", Zhang Yuanjun went south to Hong Kong Island again, found Luo Qirui, who had worked with him before, and then introduced Ou Jianer to him.
Ou Jian'er is not the kind of screenwriter who only does his own projects, but also takes on outside work, Zhang Yuanjun also handed her a copy of the story outline he drafted, and asked her to expand it into a complete film script according to the local characteristics of Hong Kong Island.
Ou Jianer knew how to write it as soon as he read the outline, a very typical three-act drama structure, and the genre is also an enduring crime revenge film in the global film industry - this kind of film does not look at the connotation, just look at the fight.
If the plot is passable and the play is good, it will sell well.
Ou Jian'er happily took over the job.
On the premise of Zhang Yuanjun's outline, according to the efficiency of Hong Kong Island screenwriters, Ou Jianer is sure to come up with a final script in a month.
However, Ou Jianer not only wants to earn screenwriting fees, but also wants to work for his company: "Are you going to shoot this movie on Hong Kong Island?" ”
"Yes, this film in the mainland can't pass the audit." Zhang Yuanjun said.
"Then it's better for you to shoot our galaxy, and you don't have to go to the director." In the context of the decline of the Hong Kong Island market, Galaxy cannot be immune.
Relying on the luxury team, there are still films produced every year, but most of them are not popular, they can't sell at the box office, and most of them rely on selling copyrights to make a profit.
Galaxy still has money to make now, but the higher-ups have felt that it is getting harder and harder.
But the core creators of Galaxy are all Hong Kong Islanders, and they can only write and shoot Hong Kong Island stories.
It can be said that Galaxy is a diehard in Hong Kong Island cinema.
Ou Jian'er's proposal was rejected after two seconds in Zhang Yuanjun's head, the script has been handed over to Yinhe, and if the filming is given to Yinhe again, then whether this project is Yinhe's or his.
"Our production crew also has to work and eat." Zhang Yuanjun smiled and politely rejected Ou Jian'er, "The script will trouble the eldest sister." ”
"Don't bother, you gave a lot of screenwriting fees." Ou Jian'er joked.
If Templar Studios is a small dish in the industry, it is not enough to attract attention.
That Zhang Yuanjun flew to Hong Kong Island to see Ou Jian'er, and it was impossible for the industry not to know what he was doing.
On the third day of Zhang Yuanjun's arrival on Hong Kong Island, his new film was the first to be dug up by Hong Kong Island reporters.
"Zhang Yuanjun fights the fat woman for 3 hours at night! 》
Where did Sister Fairy lose? Zhang sir went south to Xiangjiang to attack the fat mother! 》
The report is still about Zhang Yuanjun's arrival in Hong Kong to meet Ou Jian'er, but the title is called a thriller.
Ou Jian'er is just a little lucky when he reaches middle age, and he has become a fat woman and a fat mother in the mouth of the Hong Kong media.
Besides, Zhang Yuanjun obviously took the three people from his team to meet Ou Jian'er, but when he got to the Hong Kong Island reporter, he became a meeting with Ou Jian'er alone.
After the news of Zhang Yuanjun's arrival in Hong Kong was exposed, his new film in Hong Kong was also exposed.
"Lone Agent", a gangster crime film.
But now nothing has been determined except for the name and the starring role of Zhang Yuanjun.
It's okay if you're not sure, it doesn't prevent Hong Kong Island filmmakers from coming to the door.
or promote their own team, or self-nominate to star, or want to earn a distribution fee.
It's rare to say "I can invest".
are holding back their thoughts and asking Zhang Yuanjun to bring money in from the inside, gangster films still have a market on Hong Kong Island, and some producers want to invest but don't know what to say, they want to see the investment plate first.
But there is a boss on Hong Kong Island who is very decisive - Jiang Zhiqiang, the boss of Anle Pictures.
Jiang Zhiqiang began to pay attention to Zhang Yuanjun after "Becoming Famous".
It is only now that he is sure that Zhang Yuanjun is a filmmaker who is worth investing in.
Yes, Jiang Zhiqiang didn't watch movies, but he was the person.
Just like Yang Shoucheng's investment in Jiang Wen.
Jiang Zhiqiang didn't take a fancy to Zhang Yuanjun because of how handsome he looked - there are many handsome guys and beautiful women in this circle; It's not because of how good his acting skills are - there are many people in this circle who have better acting skills than him.
What he likes about Zhang Yuanjun is his creative ability, he is a very rare actor in the circle who knows how to create scripts, and his writing is not bad.
If you are handsome, he can write, if you can write better than him, if you are more handsome than him, you can only be an actor, and you don't have the ability to form a game.
This kid focuses on a balanced development.
He hasn't won any heavyweight acting awards and screenwriting awards, but together, he is better than others.
Therefore, although he still doesn't know anything about "Lone Agent", Jiang Zhiqiang still made an appointment with Zhang Yuanjun without hesitation and promised to support 13 million Hong Kong dollars.
Zhang Yuanjun was really moved by Jiang Zhiqiang, and gave money directly without asking anything, this is probably a living bodhisattva.
Then Zhang Yuanjun accepted Jiang Zhiqiang's money very reluctantly. (End of chapter)
