The best director ever

Chapter 100 The actor's self-cultivation

"Journey to the West?"

Seeing these big characters, everyone exclaimed in unison.

Why does this name sound so subversive?Big talk, big talk, does it mean bragging?
Talking big about Journey to the West, subverting Journey to the West?
Director Han, you are trying to make trouble!
"Old Han, what is this? Journey to the West?"

"I'm a bit confused, Director Han."

Lin Hua straightened his crooked glasses and said, "Explain?"

Han Qiu cleared his throat, and said loudly: "As you can see from the literal meaning of these four words, whatever you think it means, that's what it means."

"A Journey to the West is different from the traditional literature Journey to the West, and it is even said that it completely subverts Wu Chengen's novel. Big talk, as you can see, these two words mean big talk."

"To put it simply, Journey to the West can be said to be a fan of Journey to the West. We borrow the characters and certain passages in it, and then render, adapt, incorporate modern elements, etc. to exaggerate and modernize it."

"Let Journey to the West take another direction and become another story with a completely different ending!"

"What I want to create is not a Monkey King who converts to Buddhism, but a flesh and blood Monkey King who dares to love and hate!"

At the end, Han Qiu squinted his eyes and glanced at everyone with a smile: "Don't you think that Monkey King in Journey to the West has been bound for too long? Why don't we undo his magic spell?"

After hearing what Han Qiu said, everyone was dumbfounded.Director Han, it seems that you really want to do something.

"Director Han, why are you talking so much about Journey to the West?" someone asked.

"Yeah, adapting Journey to the West sounds easy, but it's hard to do."

"Besides, the four protagonists are all practicing monks. Is there any story worth exploring?"

Han Qiu smiled without saying a word, opened the script directly, and then played it for everyone to watch.

"All the answers you want are here."

Everyone looked at the screen in unison. The first paragraph of the script: Sun Wukong escorted Tang Sanzang to the west to learn scriptures. On the way, he conspired with the Bull Demon King to kill Tang Sanzang. Avalokitesvara discovered this and wanted to eradicate Sun Wukong.

This is the opening of the Westward Journey, but it is such a simple opening, but it makes everyone present in a cold sweat, and the three views are ruined.

"Sun Wukong wants to kill Tang Seng, and is he conspiring with the Bull Demon King?"

"Damn, Director Han, this is not an adaptation, it's a complete reversal of black and white!"

"Old Han, can your imagination be richer? Why don't you go to heaven? Why don't you write that Tang Sanzang wants to get a wife?"

Han Qiu glanced at Ye Chen faintly, "Hehe, the daughter-in-law is definitely going to marry, but not Tang Sanzang."

Lin Hua didn't wait for Han Qiu to finish, and exclaimed, "Could it be Monkey King?"

Everyone wanted to deny Lin Hua's words, and express their disdain by the way.Please, Sun Wukong is a monkey or a demon?Will he marry a wife?

But unexpectedly, Han Qiu actually nodded. "Yes, the Great Sage is getting married!"

Everyone's three views and the lower limit have been refreshed again, that... stone monkeys also have fertility?

Han Qiu seemed very satisfied with everyone's reaction, pouted his lips, and signaled everyone to continue watching.

However, this look, everyone really saw something.

Sun Wukong was reincarnated as a bandit?Called Supreme Treasure?
Bai Jingjing, Bone Demon?
Spring Thirty Mother, Spider Spirit?

And this Immortal Pansi, whose real identity is Fairy Zixia?

Director Han, it was agreed not to make a gangster film, you mess around, the main character is a bandit leader!

But when everyone saw the final outcome, everyone was silent.Suddenly, the entire conference room, under the coming hot weather, was as dead and silent as an ice cellar.

Once upon a time there was a love.
When they saw this line, everyone finally broke out.

clap clap clap!
I don't know who applauded first, and then everyone applauded uncontrollably as if they were being burned.

Han Qiu smiled gratifiedly: "Now let me ask everyone, should I shoot or not shoot this big talk about Journey to the West?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and each sees a touch of shock in each other's eyes.Afterwards, everyone nodded in unison and roared in unison.

"shoot!"

"Okay!" Han Qiu smiled boldly and made a decision on the spot, "Let's play a big one this time!"

The next day, Huaxian issued an announcement in the film and television industry, inviting major domestic film and television companies to invest and join. Han Qiu personally directed the filming of Huaxian's latest masterpiece, Journey to the West!

In an instant, the entire film and television circle completely boiled!

After Hua Xian's secret war in Infernal Affairs, the news spread like wildfire!All major film and television companies across the country have set their sights on Modu and Huaxian.

China Entertainment Media.

As a company that once launched the Magic Police, but was beaten by a group of liars in Huaxian, it has no place to stand.After Mao's deceit, the company's top executives also sought innovation one after another, no longer sticking to following the trend of domestic TV dramas, but pushing the old and innovating.

Therefore, in the past two years, China Entertainment Media has developed fairly well.At this moment, upon hearing the news released by Huaxian, the leaders all felt that this was a good opportunity, and it was also an opportunity to show their favor to Huaxian.

"Huaxian is going to film Westward Journey this time, and invited us to join. What do you think?"

"Huaxian's strength should not be underestimated. Infernal Affairs and secret battles all illustrate Han Banxian's strength. But this time Huaxian's transformation is a bit big. As far as I know, Journey to the West is not Han Banxian's good at police and gangster movies. Therefore, I will reserve it for the time being. Opinion!"

"What about the script? I remember Huaxian gave the sample, right?"

"The content of the script is inconsistent. It only said that it was adapted from Journey to the West, which was popular in China, but it didn't mention the actual content. This is obviously asking us to bet."

"Adaptation of Journey to the West? To catch the popularity of Journey to the West? This is a good idea."

"What do you mean?"

"Haha, Huaxian has been invited, how can you not go? Just say Han Banxian, the value in China is not low now! Besides, Han Banxian has been out for three years, when did you see him lose money? This young man is not simple, his vision is much better than those of us old guys."

"Okay, when the time comes for the investment conference, China Entertainment Media will definitely be there."

Xiangjiang, Huanyu Media!
In the office, Lin Xiaoming laughed while holding the phone: "Alright, Han Qiu, Huanyu will definitely help you when the time comes!"

After hanging up the phone, someone looked at his boss in confusion.

"Boss Lin, did you just agree?"

Lin Xiaoming turned around and asked, "Why didn't you agree?"

The subordinates were stunned. Why didn't you agree to your question?
It seems that there is really no reason to refuse.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go to Huaxian right away."

Lin Xiaoming nodded, "Well, go ahead, you just need to remember that as long as Han Qiu doesn't ask too much, you can agree to him."

The subordinates were astonished and hurriedly nodded yes.

In addition, seven or eight film companies across the country, such as Emperor Films, Meiya Films, Galaxy Films, etc., have expressed their willingness to come to Huaxian to watch the Westward Journey and discuss major investment matters.

Although these companies do not have the determination of Lin Xiaoming, for them, no matter whether they invest in the end or not, it is always good to come and have a look first.If Han Banxian's plan this time has enough to impress them, why not invest a little money in the end?
These companies play tricks such as following the wind and turning the rudder, abandoning the dark and turning to the bright, etc., with ease.Similarly, if Han Banxian's big talk about Westward Journey is of no value, they will immediately pat their butts and leave.

A week later, Huaxian, the capital of magic!
At this moment, the heads of many film and television companies gathered together!
Han Qiu stood in the first place, looked around the crowd without hesitation, and then talked about Westward Journey and its production method and cost without haste.

Westward Journey is a fantasy movie, so Han Qiu will use 3D production for the first time this time, and for Han Qiu, who is striving for perfection, he must make the best one.And the cost of top-level special effects cannot be afforded by Huaxian alone.

This is why Han Qiu invited other companies to join.

After listening to Han Qiu's narration, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. They thought that Journey to the West was a side story or a reasonable adaptation of Journey to the West, but they didn't expect Han Banxian to change so much!

It simply subverts the original!

Han Qiu watched everyone's reactions quietly, and was quickly screening in his heart.Just now he just talked about the outline of the plot, and he didn't mention many classic and memorable essences in it, in order to see everyone's sincerity first.

To his dismay, however, many companies are showing a lack of interest.

In the end, after discussion, more than seven or eight companies, only Huanyu and China Entertainment, expressed their strong desire to invest.

Han Qiu was neither happy nor sad, this result has exceeded his expectations.

It wasn't until the next day, when several companies were discussing specific matters, that Han Qiu picked out the essence of Westward Journey for everyone to watch.

So far, several companies that were still a little worried are completely relieved!
Your sincerity, Han Banxian, has arrived, and our sincerity will never be delayed!

In the end, each of the three companies invested 30 million yuan, and each took 10% of the share, while Han Qiu invested as a screenwriter and director, and personally took [-]%.

So far, the financing of Journey to the West has been completed!
A few days later, all three companies issued announcements.

[Huaxian, Huanyu, and Huayu join forces to create a unique myth of Journey to the West! 】

The inscription is: Journey to the West!

At the same time, Huaxian added an announcement after that, inviting well-known domestic actors to participate in the performance of Journey to the West!

Several blockbuster bombs were dropped, and the entire entertainment circle was completely blown up!
Xiangjiang, a certain studio.

Zhou Xingchi took a lunch box from Xu Mengda, and chatted casually: "Meng Da, do you still remember Director Han?"

"what happened?"

"I heard that he is planning to make a movie now. I want to go to Huaxian to try it out."

Xu Mengda smiled wryly: "Oh, are you thinking too much? We are just playing tricks. Even if Director Han takes a fancy to him, we will only be playing tricks."

Zhou Xingchi remained silent, but shook his head firmly, rejecting Xu Mengda's words.

"No, I must try it out, who said that there will be no day of turning around if you play a trick?"

"Are you really going?"

"Go." Zhou Xingchi nodded firmly.

Xu Mengda smiled and stopped asking, "Okay, then I will accompany you for a walk!"

"Thanks." Zhou Xingchi smiled heartily, then squatted down on the side of the road and ate his boxed lunch.

But when he squatted down, a book accidentally fell out of his arms.

Its title is:

Actor's self-cultivation.

Xu Mengda looked at the book on the ground with a worn and yellowed cover, and his face suddenly fell silent.Gently patted Zhou Xingchi's thin shoulder, he picked up the book and handed it to Zhou Xingchi.

"Well, you dropped the book."

Zhou Xingchi was shocked, and quickly put the boxed lunch aside, then wiped the oil on his fingers, and stretched out his hands to take it from Xu Mengda's hand.

"Thank you."

"How long has it been since you bought it?" Xu Mengda asked.

"I didn't buy it." Zhou Xingchi said while wiping the dust off the book, "It was given to me by that teacher five years ago when I was in the TVB artist training class."

Xu Mengda was silent again, and then sighed aimlessly, not knowing whether it was emotion or nostalgia.
