Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 238 Do you want to arrange a drama again?

Shanghai Stock Exchange, Golden Grand Theater.

At the beginning of this year, Youth Gang leader Huang Jinrong founded this building at No. 1 Jinling Middle Road. At first, it mainly screened movies, and later switched to performing Peking opera, dramas, etc.

Various famous Peking Opera masters, such as the four famous Dandan actors, Mei Lanfang, Cheng Yanqiu, Shang Xiaoyun and Xun Huisheng, have all performed here.

In this era of Shanghai City, it can be said to be an entertainment venue as famous as Paramount.

At this moment, Bao Guowei was sitting in the car minding his own business, admiring this scene that spanned time and space.

As evening approaches, there are still shouting rickshaw drivers on the street. Their chests bulge, and they exhale a big breath from time to time. Their exhalation is like a worn-out bellows.

Unlike the migrant workers of later generations, these thousands of Luotuo Xiangzi just want to live a good life.

But in this era, only when they receive the money they have earned, will the "Camel Xiangzi" show a smile on their faces.

In contrast, there is the gorgeous decoration at the entrance of the Golden Theater, the exquisitely carved door face, and the doormen in suits and tuxedos. The gentlemen coming in and out are all wearing long gowns and mandarin jackets, and suits and hats.

"Sorry for being late. I went to pick up a gentleman and kept you waiting."

Bao Guowei got out of the car and said nonchalantly: "It's okay. I also have some time to stop and think. It seems like I'm spinning my wheels these days."

"Bingwen! Bao Bingwen! Here! Here!"

Hong Shen?

he muttered.

At this time, a familiar voice shouted from the corner of the street.

"Who is this"

I have another prototype of a work in my mind.

After saying that, he saw a middle-aged man getting out of the car behind Liming Wei.

He said with a smile on his face.

He can be said to be one of the pioneers of modern Chinese drama and filmmakers.

After thinking about it, I realized that he was another great man.

"This is Mr. Hong Shen. Bingwen, you asked me to find some great talents in the drama industry. I didn't invite them here for you."

Liming Wei hurriedly got out of a car, ran to Bao Guowei, and said apologetically.

China's first talkie film "The Songstress Red Peony" was written and directed by him.

Bao Guowei frowned.

As soon as this person was mentioned, Bao Guowei's head began to spin rapidly.

Bao Guowei's face also showed a smile that has never wavered since ancient times. This is his usual expression when facing social situations. It has been proven in practice that it can be said to be generous and decent!
Sure enough, seeing Bao Guowei's neither humble nor arrogant appearance, coupled with his simple and simple attire, Hong Shen immediately felt a lot of affection.

"This is the real Republic of China."

"This is Mr. Bao Bingwen, right? It's better to hear once than to see once."

Hong Shen was wearing a suit and a pair of rimless glasses, looking very energetic. As soon as he saw Bao Guowei, he immediately extended his hand to greet him.

He said with emotion: "I have heard of Bao Bingwen's film theory before, and I always felt that you were just an outsider who was trying to get it right, but now I see that Bao Bingwen's style is really not inferior to the comments in the newspapers!"

This evaluation is very high.

Bao Guowei also said a few polite words step by step, which was considered a formal acquaintance.

"I heard that Bingwen wants to shoot a movie. How are the preparations going?"

Several people walked into the theater, and Hong Shen couldn't help but ask curiously.

It was Liming Wei who answered.

"On the contrary, I want to adapt this "The Godfather". I have some ideas now. I have contacted the Americans several times. With Bingwen's help, everything went much smoother."

"The Godfather? It's actually this?" Hong Shen said in surprise.

He then shook his head.

"In my opinion, "Alive" may be more in line with the current context, suitable for filming and turning into a movie, and can better awaken the insensitive spirit of our people."

Hong Shen has joined the Left-wing Writers Alliance this year, and his preference for works is very obvious.

God knows how happy he would be when he saw the content of Bao Guowei's speech.

For him, "The Godfather", which tells a foreign story, is obviously not as relevant as "Alive", which tells a local story. Even among this group of writers, the evaluation of life is extremely high, but "The Godfather" is even worse.

"this."

Liming Wai, who originally answered fluently, got stuck. Why did he choose "The Godfather"? He can't say it's for commercial reasons, right?

In front of dramatists like Hong Shen who advocate educational significance, this may not attract a burst of criticism.

Bao Guowei, who had been silent all the way, finally replied: "Sir, you are wrong."

"Oh?"

Hong Shen can be said to be a leader in the film and drama circles. Bao Guowei said he was wrong in this regard.

Looking back, there are countless such examples of this young man's deeds.

He patiently stopped and asked, "What's the explanation?"

"Each movie has its own different positioning. Some are to alert the world, some are to tell people the truth, and some are for propaganda. Different audiences will naturally have different movie forms."

When these words came out, Hong Shen's eyes immediately lit up and he stopped and said.

"Appreciate further details."

"Just like making a movie for ordinary people, it needs to be close to their lives. It can't be about talented people and beauties in the light and debauchery. In the same way, the more audience for my movie is Westerners in the international community. Naturally. We need to use Western shooting methods to show the excellence of our Chinese people.”

Bao Guowei talked eloquently.

And Hong Shen understood this boy's ambition.

Damn it, we are still thinking about enlightening the people, but he already wants to brainwash people in other countries around the world?
Is this kid crazy?
Faced with such a fantasy, Hong Shen shook his head and said.

"It's just a movie, I'm afraid it can't achieve this effect, right?"

Bao Guowei nodded and said: "The influence of a movie is limited, but what if there are thousands of movies, thousands of articles, and thousands of TV shows?"

"This"

Hong Shen was still doubtful, but he didn't want to break the young man's enthusiasm.

He just kept the words in his heart and then said.

"Since we are here today, let's go watch a play. Mr. Zheng Zhengqiu's "The Orphan Saves His Ancestor" is currently being performed."

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to continue talking, Bao Guowei was also very sensible, and he was not so anxious to prove himself.

Everything will be revealed after the movie is released!
The afternoon show was not popular. There were only a few spectators sitting in the dark theater.

Several people had already said hello to the theater and found an empty seat to sit down.

As soon as he sat down, Hong Shen couldn't help but ask.

"Li Mingwei said before that you wanted to meet me. Before you enjoy the play, you should tell me the reason why you invited me here this time, right?"

Hong Shen thought in his heart that Bao Guowei was a master who caused trouble every day.

Bao Guowei guessed the other party's scruples and immediately explained.

"Since I've invited you here, it's natural that I won't be assisting in the production of "The Godfather."

Asking Hong Shen to help direct such a commercial film is not short-sighted.

"That is?"

This made Hong Shen a little confused. Instead of directing movies, could it be that Bao Guowei wanted to discuss literature with him.

Or are you promoting that fantastic theory that brainwashes the whole world?

But he saw Bao Guowinunu mouthing, gesturing to the stage and saying.

"I just want sir to help me put together a play."

At this time, Liming Wei, who was sitting next to him, jumped up in disbelief.

"What? Mr. Bingwen, are you not making movies again?"

Hong Shen frowned.
