The Crown Prince of Huayu!

Chapter 7 Protagonist
a few days later.

"Master Dong, you are here!"

"Are you still going to the office area on the fourth floor today?"

"The big boss came to the company today. Do you want me to take you to see him first?"

Zhou Jiamei left the front desk to the company's new recruit, caught up with Han Jiadong, and served enthusiastically.

Han Jiadong paused. He had been coming to Huayi every day for the past few days. From the second day on, Zhou Jiamei changed her original arrogance and disdain and tried her best to please herself every time she saw him.

However, Han Jiadong had no time to talk to her.

"I know, I'll go up myself."

Leaving behind a sentence, he walked into the elevator alone, pressed "5" and closed the door.

Today, the script of the Family of Thieves is almost completed. He originally wanted to read the script first, but since Wang Lao Er is here, it is not good not to say hello first.

Wang Laoer is the big boss in Zhou Jiamei's mouth.

One of the two brothers is the big boss and the other is the second boss in the company, but among the four brothers of the Wang family, one is the second eldest and the other is the youngest.

Their fathers serve in the military, and their positions are equivalent to the administrative level of Grandpa Han Jiadong.

Get out of the elevator and walk straight to the door of the chairman's office.

Before you even knock on the door, the door opens by itself.

The person who opened the door was Wang Zhonglei. When he saw Han Jiadong outside the door, he was not surprised at all. He greeted warmly: "Xiaodong, you came just in time, we are reading your script!"

Han Jiadong walked in and casually glanced at the phone on the table. Without asking any more questions, he said hello to Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei respectively.

Compared with the handsome Wang Zhonglei, Wang Zhongjun, who is ten years older, has experienced a lot of changes and is much more restrained. He is not as sharp and domineering as Wang Zhonglei.

One of the two brothers is in charge, the other is in charge of outsiders, and their abilities are both incomparable.

After exchanging a few words, Wang Zhonglei brought the topic back to the script.

"Xiaodong, what kind of magic did you cast with those screenwriters? I asked them to write the script of A World Without Thieves for me. It took me a month to write it but it was not finished yet. Now it's good, they wrote the script for you in less than a week. It’s like taking a shot of chicken blood every day, and I don’t leave even after get off work hours. Every day, there are people staying up all night at the company writing.”

Han Jiadong thought for a moment and said, "Maybe they want to find an excuse not to go home and pay the public food?"

"puff!"

Wang Zhongjun, who was drinking tea, spat out the words after hearing the words.

Wang Zhonglei also looked at Han Jiadong dumbfounded.

Is this still the serious boy in my impression?
But he soon laughed again: "Haha! It makes sense. At our age, we are indeed a little powerless. We are not as energetic as you young people, right? Brother."

"Speak for yourself, just speak for yourself, why are you dragging me down?"

Wang Zhongjun shook his head helplessly, pulled out a few pieces of paper and began to wipe the water on the table.

Wang Zhonglei took out the printed copy of the Family of Thieves script again.

Han Jiadong just made a joke and didn't answer directly, but how could he not know.

The reason why those screenwriters are so enthusiastic must be because this script is better than A World Without Thieves in the eyes of those screenwriters.

As a result, he finally became interested in the script.

Today I specifically asked the screenwriters how the script was.

The answer he got disappointed him.

very good!

But it may not make any money!

The content is too ordinary and has little to do with the mainland, making it difficult for mainland audiences to resonate with it.

This made Wang Zhonglei lose most of his interest.

When Huayi first entered the film industry, it cast three films by three people.

Feng Xiaogang's story is endless.

Chen Kaige's Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin.

Jiang Wen's devil is here.

Among them, Feng Xiaogang was the least famous at the time, and the other two had won awards at the three major European film festivals. But in the end, apart from Endless, the other two parts both suffered a loss.

Since then, Wang Zhonglei has not had a good impression of the so-called pursuit of art in movies.

In his mind, only commercial movies that can make money are good movies.

Everything else is nonsense!

He had briefly read the script before Han Jiadong came, and he really didn't see the meaning.

For someone like him who grew up with a golden key in his mouth, the things in the script were too far away and unfamiliar to him.

"I originally wanted to ask the company to calculate the cost directly, but the screenwriters said that it would not be completed until you changed it. When I went to get it today, they were a little reluctant to give it to me."

Wang Zhonglei handed the script to Han Jiadong.

Han Jiadong took it and flipped through the new part.

"Well, it is true that some details still need to be changed. I will talk to them later, but it will not affect the cost calculation."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements soon."

Wang Zhonglei nodded and asked, "What are your thoughts on actors?"

Han Jiadong said directly: "The male protagonist Ge You, the female protagonist...Xu Qin. For other characters, I will write down the requirements, and you and other investors can follow the recommendations!"

Wang Zhonglei waved his hand grandly: "Both Ge You and Xu Qin can be counted as Huayi's quota, and all other roles should be given to other companies!"

After chatting for a while, Han Jiadong excused himself and went to the office area on the fourth floor.

As soon as he entered, a group of people surrounded him.

Although some people had stayed up all night, their expressions were very excited, and they gathered around Han Jiadong and asked the questions they had prepared in an orderly manner.

Wang Zhonglei only thought that they completed the script so quickly because the script of Shoplifters was so good.

But they don’t know that when they wrote A World Without Thieves, they really had to write everything by themselves. The plot design, characters, conflicts, everything had to be thought of by themselves.

But Shoplifters is different.

Han Jiadong has already laid out the skeleton of the Family of Thieves, and they only need to fill in the content. When they encounter problems, Han Jiadong can answer them in great detail.

It's such an easy and satisfying job that I can't even think about it.

That night.

Ge You was stunned when he received the invitation and script.

"Didn't you say "A World Without Thieves"? How come they became a family of thieves? And they changed from a supporting role to a protagonist?"

He and Wang Zhonglei were old acquaintances, so they called and asked directly.

Wang Zhonglei said: "Shoot this first, it's still too early for the world to be free from thieves."

"When will filming start?"

"next month."

"Are you in such a hurry? I may not have time!"

"The director is the son of the third master of China Film Academy. He directly appointed you."

"Okay! Then I have to serve him!"

……

After hanging up the phone, Ge You touched his bald head with a look of helplessness on his face.

He didn't feel it was an honor to be chosen by this prince.

But in line with his professionalism, after adjusting his emotions, he still opened the script.

Then, without realizing it, I watched it at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night. I read the script all the way through, but I still didn't get enough of it.

"This script is interesting!"

He turned to the first page again, ready to take a closer look, but when he thought that the director was a teenage boy, he shook his head again.

"Pity……"
