Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 522
After the official start of the summer vacation, more and more people dropped out of the park.

On the second day, Han Dong, Gu Qian and Su Tong also came. After Su Tong left, Han Dong and Gu Qian stayed.

Yu Hua and the others usually either study in Wangqiu Pavilion, or get together to play cards... Of course, they spend more time playing cards.

During the day, Yu Dong would chat with them, play cards, and start writing the script of "Infernal Affairs" after dinner.

He didn't think about making many adaptations of the original plot, basically just copied it, so it didn't take much effort to write.

On July [-]th, Liu Weiqiang came to Luoyuan. Before he could get over the shock that Luoyuan gave him, he was shocked again by the script Yu Dong handed him.

Liu Weiqiang took over the script: "Mr. Yu, have you finished writing?"

"I worked overtime." Yu Dong said with a smile.

Liu Weiqiang was dubious, and wrote a movie script in more than a week. The efficiency is too high.

Will there be any quality problems?

This idea was dismissed by Liu Weiqiang himself as soon as it came to mind.

What kind of character is Yu Dong?
Will he fool people with inferior things?

"Let's take a look first." Yu Dong said with a smile.

He saw Liu Weiqiang's doubts, and he could understand it, after all, it's only been ten days.

Liu Weiqiang nodded and began to read the script.

This is a cop movie, and the script sets the tone right from the start.

Liu Weiqiang's mood was actually quite complicated when he saw it was a gangster movie.

Before coming, he was thinking about what the idea Yu Dong was talking about, and why Yu Dong said it was suitable for him.Now seeing that it was a gangster movie, he also understood why.

But what surprised him was why Yu Dong would write a police film. Yu Dong had no such writing experience before.

The only work that has anything to do with cops is probably "Golden Dreamland", but "Golden Dreamland" has almost no relationship with police movies before.

Continuing to look down, Liu Weiqiang discovered the special features of this movie.

In the past, the gangster movies, or the previous Xiangjiang gangster movies, usually relied on heroes to appear on the stage and attract the audience with wonderful action designs.

But this movie avoids these things. Instead, it focuses on describing the complex relationship between the police and the robbers, and it portrays the psychology of the characters more than ordinary police and robber movies.

But it is obviously not a literary film. The plot design is also full of various dramatic conflicts, and these conflicts are expressed with ups and downs.

There is another big difference, that is, the good guys die and the bad guys stay, which breaks the Dzogchen model of general gangster films where justice will eventually defeat evil.

Especially when seeing the ending, Liu Weiqiang was very surprised when the big b turned out to be an undercover agent too.

Although the script attracted readers with a sense of guessing from the beginning to the end, Yu Dong didn't seem to think of using the information gap between the screenwriter and the audience to create suspense. The only one was the identity of Big B.

Liu Weiqiang thinks this setting is very good, like a dish that tastes good but not too heavy, it is like biting a chili suddenly at the end of the meal, it is unexpected, exciting, and even pleasantly surprising.

In every way, this script is very good, but...

Liu Weiqiang closed the script and looked up at Yu Dong: "Mr. Yu, there is no doubt that this is a very good script. However, the gangster is portrayed too strong in it, and the situation in Xiangjiang is not so exaggerated."

Yu Dongrao looked at Liu Weiqiang with interest, "Director Liu, you have watched "Young and Dangerous"."

Hearing this, Liu Weiqiang smiled, and that's right, his doubts really didn't make sense at all.

Rubbing his hands together, Liu Weiqiang said again, "Mr. Yu, this script..."

Yu Dong raised his hand, "Director Liu, I'm just a screenwriter in this matter. If you think the script is not bad and you have an idea of ​​cooperation, you can go to the Deep Space Company."

Liu Weiqiang nodded to express his understanding.

Yu Dong is the boss of Deep Space, and everyone knows it now, but this doesn't mean that the boss has to take care of business matters.

Probably, this is why Yu Dong has been able to maintain his creative passion.

"I see. I'll contact President Yu Yu in a while."

In fact, what Liu Weiqiang thought was that it would be best to buy the script directly, and then take it back and let their best partner production company shoot it themselves, so that they can take the initiative.

But this idea is obviously unrealistic, and Deep Space will definitely not agree to only sell scripts.

Knowing that there was no way for Yudong to come to a conclusion, Liu Weiqiang didn't stay any longer, and rushed to the Deep Space Company after lunch in Luoyuan.

However, Liu Weiqiang did not have the margin to get the result there.

Yu Yu told Liu Weiqiang that he couldn't decide on this matter, and Jimmy needed to nod.

If it is someone else's work, Yu Yu, as the general manager of Deep Space China, of course has the right to make the decision.

But Jimmy has already made up his mind. As long as it is related to Yu Dong, unless Yu Dong decides it himself, he must be asked first.

And now, Jimmy hasn't even read the script of "Infernal Affairs", so he can't decide for the time being.

Although Liu Weiqiang was a little disappointed that he didn't get the result, he was not in a hurry.

In any case, now that I have seen Yu Dong's script, even if Deep Space does not choose to cooperate with the best partner in the follow-up, he will most likely take over the film as the director.

……

After Jimmy read the script of "Infernal Affairs", he called Yu Dong immediately.

After the call was connected, his first words were, "My Dong, are you really going to give "Infernal Affairs" to Liu Weiqiang for filming?"

Yu Dong was originally revising the manuscript of "The Da Vinci Code". Hearing Jimmy's words, he smiled and said, "What should I say, Mr. Ji, do you have any good suggestions?"

"I think that this script can be taken directly to Hollywood. Compared with the domestic market, this kind of film is more popular in Europe and the United States."

"Jimmy, it may make more money in the United States, but the country needs this movie more now."

Jimmy on the other end of the phone paused, and then said: "I understand what you mean, I just... that's okay, if "Infernal Affairs" doesn't perform well in China, we can still get it to Hollywood for an adaptation .”

Yu Dong laughed, "Look at what you said. Could it be that it can't be adapted because it performed well in China?"

"It's not impossible, but remakes are afraid of people's preconceptions, and remakes are not popular at the Oscars."

"You think a lot, and you're thinking about Oscar."

Jimmy said with a smile: "Our movie is not short of box office now, but it is almost short of awards."
