supergiant age

Chapter 949 Xu Zhengqiang

Yi Shuihan led Lu Cheng, pushed open the door of the living room, and there was a bald man in his forties sitting in the living room.

"Director Xu, I've been waiting for a long time!" Yi Shuihan stepped forward and said happily.

Xu Zhengqiang got up to greet him, held Yi Shuihan's hand and said with a smile, "Not long, just arrived."

"Please take a seat! This is Lao Lu, the director of our screenwriting department." Yi Shuihan introduced Lu Cheng, and then the three sat down.

With a bald head, happy eyebrows, a slightly thin body, and an unattractive appearance, no one in the film industry would ignore this bald man.

This was the first time Yi Shuihan saw Xu Zhengqiang, but Yi Shuihan had already heard about him.

Xu Zhengqiang was born in an acting class and has superb acting skills, but because of his ordinary appearance, he never got any good opportunities.

Fortunately, he has a pleasant appearance, so he entered the comedy industry in desperation, but he did not expect that he is so talented in this field that he soon made a great name.

After that, it took more than ten years to become a giant in the comedian industry, loved by the audience and quite prestigious in the industry.

Gradually, he was not satisfied with being an actor. With his experience and experience in the comedy industry, he began to try to be a comedy director himself.

To say that he is also a genius in the field of comedy, six years ago, the cumulative box office of "Watching Dragons Flying", which he directed and acted in by himself, exceeded 22 billion yuan [-] days after its release.

In the end, the box office reached 13 billion yuan, and the number of viewers exceeded 4000 million, creating a record for the number of viewers in the history of Chinese film history. It also became the first Chinese film with a box office of over one billion in film history. prize.

Therefore, he has become a very important Mesozoic director in the mainland film industry in one fell swoop!

The box office of 13 billion is not a big deal at this time, but it is already a jaw-dropping achievement in six years.

In the next few years, Xu Zhengqiang continued to direct, achieving success and forming his own unique directing style.

The reason why his works have won so much attention and recognition is not only his innate talent for comedy, but also his accurate positioning of his films and his precise grasp of the audience's psychology are also important factors for his success. factor.

Different from the works of other comedy directors, his comedy films never use the same old routines, but are always exploring and seeking changes.

This is also what Yi Shuihan valued director Xu Zhengqiang the most. He didn't want to turn a movie that could have become a classic into a cliché.

"It's been hard work coming from a long distance. I've heard of your name for a long time. I'm lucky to finally meet you today!" Yi Shuihan said with a big laugh.

Xu Zhengqiang's eyebrows were curved, and he looked particularly festive. He smiled and said, "What's so interesting about me as an old man? I heard that your studio is going to shoot a comedy. How can I sit still!"

Naturally, Xu Zhengqiang would not treat Yi Shuihan as an ordinary actor, but just invested in starring in a series of Infernal Affairs, Yi Shuihan's position in the industry was already very important.

"You are being polite. Compared with you in the field of comedy, we are just toddlers. I hope to be lucky enough to be guided by you this time." Yi Shuihan said with a smile.

He is a pun, that is to guide, but also to direct.

Xu Zhengqiang also enjoyed Yi Shuihan's praise very much. After exchanging pleasantries and complimenting each other for a while, they got to the point.

"This is a script created by our screenwriting department, please correct it." Yi Shuihan was very polite, even though he thought that the script of this comedy movie was more than enough to be called a masterpiece.

Xu Zhengqiang does not have much confidence in this. He has been involved in this field for many years and naturally knows how difficult it is to create good comedy works.

As far as he himself is concerned, after several years of creation, he also exhausted his ideas and could not create works that he was satisfied with.

In his opinion, other people's comedy scripts are even more unsightly.

He doesn't want to settle down and ruin his reputation, so there is nothing to film now.

The reason why he came to contact Yi Shuihan originally was because he was free during this period of time, and the other reason was that he also wanted to get acquainted with Yi Shuihan. After all, the other party is a professional who has become famous in recent years, and he may be able to find him in the future Cooperative investment too!
As for reading the script, it's just incidental. He doesn't think the other party can create any excellent comedy movie scripts, even if there are already works in the Infernal Affairs series.

Comedy movies are different from other movie scripts, and he didn't have much hope, especially after seeing the title of "Kung Fu".

"Please!" Yi Shuihan said with a smile.

Xu Zhengqiang nodded and opened the script.

Since it was for the director to read, Yi Shuihan naturally used the storyboard script, but it was not as detailed.

"The camera moves, "Inspector Chen" is printed on the sign, and a group of policemen are staring blankly in one direction, there is a collision sound in the background, and the camera turns to the sign "Sin Buster".

Suddenly, a policeman was thrown into the air, the plaque was smashed, and the policeman fell heavily to the ground.

Crocodile Gang Boss: Who else?

Facing the members of the Crocodile Gang, all the policemen showed expressions of fear.

The boss of the Crocodile Gang: Such a beautiful woman just spit on the ground. (The camera turns to the wife of the leader of the Crocodile Gang, and then back to the leader of the Crocodile Gang) You were caught here?Is there still Wang Fa?Is there still a law?

The camera turned to Police A who was lying on the ground with a bruised nose and a swollen face. The boss of the Crocodile Gang was walking leisurely.

Boss of the Crocodile Gang: You chiefs have to give our Crocodile Gang face, otherwise he won't be able to be the chief!You don't fucking know me?

The camera turned to the policeman who had just been thrown on the plaque and then fell to the ground and passed out.

Policeman A: Sorry, I didn't know she was your wife.

The boss of the crocodile gang spit on policeman A, and policeman A instinctively avoided it.

......"

Xu Zhengqiang didn't pay much attention to it at first, but he didn't expect that the first scene of the script would attract his full attention.

This script... seems to be too different from the comedy scripts he has seen before. The picture is very strong and more vivid!

And vaguely, there seems to be something in the script that he has been pursuing and exploring!
Seeing Xu Zhengqiang go from being careless to devoting all his thoughts to the script, Yi Shuihan and Lu Cheng looked at each other and smiled.

Lu Cheng couldn't help feeling somewhat proud. Even a comedian like Xu Zhengqiang was attracted by the scripts they created. Isn't this the biggest admission!

You know, after Yi Shuihan pointed out this script, it seemed that it had been revised for more than [-] times, and finally it was able to satisfy Yi Shuihan.

It can be said that Lu Cheng and others put too much effort into this script.

At this time, the script can be recognized, which is the happiest thing for him.

During this period, Fan Xiaobei also did his best. On the contrary, among all the screenwriters except Lu Cheng, he was the one who contributed the most to this script, which made Lu Cheng quite gratified.

Seeing that Xu Zhengqiang couldn't finish reading for a while, Yi Shuihan and Lu Cheng also got up gently and left the living room.

In the silent living room, only the sound of Xu Chengqiang's breathing and the sound of flipping scripts remained.
