Actor: My Entertainment Era

Sanctuary Studio is a young screenwriting studio.

Founded in 05, most of the founders are from the Department of Chinese Opera and Literature.

There was a lot of work, but not much money. Most of the time, I was working as a shooter for others, either continuing writing and adapting, or cleaning the manuscript.

An original drama I wrote before was finally aired this year, but the ratings were mediocre and it didn’t create any waves.

But it would be great if it can be broadcast smoothly. How many screenwriting studios in the industry can't accept live broadcasts?

Once the work is broadcast, it will build a certain reputation, and it will be easy to get jobs in the future.

They took on a big job today.

An expansion of a film script outline.

From Zhang Yuanjun Studio.

This is a list from the studio of the number one kid in the entertainment industry!
Sanctuary Studio takes it very seriously.

Founder Tian Yusheng personally led a team to meet Zhang Yuanjun to communicate ideas.

Zhang Yuanjun warmly received Tian Yusheng and his party.

Regarding the script outline that has been obtained, Tian Yusheng asked: "Can the title of the film be changed? "Introduction to Architecture" will make it difficult for the audience to understand it? Can the hero and heroine change their majors? That way it will be easier 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. Architecture is a very important link."

This was the script that Liu Yifei stayed up late with Zhang Yuanjun to write. When Liu Yifei knew that Zhang Yuanjun had written this movie for her, she excitedly rewarded him in Zhang Yuanjun's office.

Luckily it was the weekend and there was no one else on the whole floor except the two of them.

However, Zhang Yuanjun still scolded her for being ridiculous.

"We have the basic characters and story outline. How long will it take for you to come up with the first draft? We are in a hurry for this drama. The producers urgently need the script to find directors, actors and investors."

"A month."

"17 days." Zhang Yuanjun didn't have that much time to spend on the script, "Besides, I have a request. I can't write kissing scenes, let alone sex scenes."

“It’s not a good idea to have this kind of pure love movie without a kiss scene, right?”

"What I want is the hazy beauty of love. I don't want to write a kissing scene for the protagonist. At most, I want to kiss but can't."

"Okay." Tian Yusheng agreed.A pure love movie can be written without kissing, just take over the job first and get the down payment first!

The script communication meeting lasted all morning, and Tian Yusheng and others went back to work on the script with full opinions.

The reason why he asked not to write a kissing scene is because Zhang Yuanjun can't act. If he wants to act, he will add a kissing scene to the death, fall in love at public expense and make his girlfriend's mouth numb from kissing.

For this reason, Liu Yifei even complained to him: "You don't even act with me in romantic movies, so you just watch me fall in love with others, right?"

Zhang Yuanjun is a professional actor, but the most he can accept is Liu Yifei falling in love in the movie. Holding hands and hugging her is fine, but not kissing, let alone passionate scenes.

After arranging "Introduction to Architecture", Zhang Yuanjun went south to Hong Kong Island again and found Luo Qirui, who he had worked with before, and he introduced Ou Jianer to him.

Ou Jianer is not the kind of screenwriter who only works on her own projects, but also takes on external work. Zhang Yuanjun also gave her a story outline that she had drafted by herself, and asked her to expand it into a complete movie script based on the local characteristics of Hong Kong Island.

Ou Jianer knew how to write it as soon as he saw the outline. It is a very typical three-act drama structure. The genre is also a long-lasting crime revenge film in the global film industry - this kind of film does not focus on the content, but only on the fighting scenes.

If the plot is passable and the action is good, it will sell well.

Ou Jian'er readily accepted the job.

Under the premise of Zhang Yuanjun's outline, and based on the efficiency of screenwriters in Hong Kong, Ou Jianer is sure to come up with the final script in one month.

However, Ou Jianer not only wants to earn screenwriting fees, but also wants to get work for his company: "Is your movie going to be shot on Hong Kong Island?"

"Yes, this film will not pass the review in the Mainland." Zhang Yuanjun said.

"Then why don't you shoot for our Galaxy? It will save you the trouble of finding a director." Against the background of the decline of the Hong Kong Island market, Galaxy cannot survive alone.

Relying on a luxurious team, there are still films produced every year, but most of them are not well-received and fail to sell at the box office. Most of them rely on selling copyrights to make a profit.The Galaxy is still making money, but senior executives feel that it is getting harder and harder.

However, the creators of Galaxy Core are all from Hong Kong Island, and they can only write and film Hong Kong Island stories.

It can be said that Galaxy is a diehard of Hong Kong movies.

Ou Jian'er's idea turned around in Zhang Yuanjun's head for two seconds before being rejected. The script had already been handed over to Yinhe. If the filming was given to Yinhe again, then would the project belong to Yinhe or him?

"Our production team also has to work and have dinner." Zhang Yuanjun smiled and declined Ou Jian'er politely, "The script will trouble my eldest sister."

"No trouble, you paid a lot of screenwriting fees." Ou Jian'er joked.

If Shengtang Studio is a small player in the industry, it is not enough to attract attention.

That Zhang Yuanjun flew to Hong Kong Island to meet Ou Jianer in the open. It is impossible for the industry not to know what he was doing.

On the third day after Zhang Yuanjun arrived in Hong Kong Island, his new film was the first to be discovered by Hong Kong reporters.

"Zhang Yuanjun fights a fat woman for 3 hours at night!" 》

"Where did the fairy sister lose?"Sir Zhang went south to Xiangjiang to attack Fat Mom! 》

The report was still talking about Zhang Yuanjun's arrival in Hong Kong and meeting Ou Jianer, but the title was so thrilling.

Ou Jian'er just gained a little weight in middle age, and in the eyes of Hong Kong media, she became a fat woman and a fat mother.

Besides, Zhang Yuanjun obviously brought three members of his team to meet with Ou Jian'er, but when it came to the Hong Kong reporters, it turned out that he was 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.

"The Lonely Agent" is a gangster crime film.

But now except for the name and the starring role of Zhang Yuanjun, nothing has been confirmed.

It doesn’t matter if you’re not sure, it won’t prevent Hong Kong filmmakers from door-to-door sales.

Either they promote their own team, they recommend themselves to act, or they want to earn distribution fees.

It’s rare to say “I can invest”.

They all tried hard to ask Zhang Yuanjun to bring money in from the mainland. There was still a market for gangster films in Hong Kong. Some producers wanted to invest but didn't say so. They wanted to see the investment deal first.

But there is a boss in Hong Kong who is very decisive - Jiang Zhiqiang, the boss of Anle Pictures.

Jiang Zhiqiang began to pay attention to Zhang Yuanjun after "Famous".

Only today has he determined that Zhang Yuanjun is a filmmaker worth investing in.

Yes, what Jiang Zhiqiang is watching is not the movie, but the person he is.

Just like Yang Shoucheng invested in Jiang Wen.

Jiang Zhiqiang likes Zhang Yuanjun not because of how handsome he is - there are many handsome men and beautiful women in this industry; nor because of how good his acting skills are - there are many actors in this industry who are better than him.

What he likes about Zhang Yuanjun is his creative ability. He is a very rare actor in the industry who knows how to write scripts, and his writing is not bad.

Someone who is more handsome than him can write better than him, someone who is better at writing than him can't act like him, someone who is more handsome than him can act better than him, he can only be an actor, but he doesn't have the ability to organize a drama.

This guy focuses on balanced development.

He hasn't won any major acting or screenwriting awards, but together, he is better than others.

Therefore, even though he still didn't know anything about "The Lonely Agent", Jiang Zhiqiang made an appointment with Zhang Yuanjun without hesitation and promised to support 1300 million Hong Kong dollars.

Zhang Yuanjun was really moved by Jiang Zhiqiang. He gave the money directly without asking anything. This is probably a living Bodhisattva.

Then Zhang Yuanjun accepted Jiang Zhiqiang's money very reluctantly. (End of chapter)
