Rebirth of the training entertainment circle

Zhuo Yi has already made an appointment with Wang Jing, the fat man, to send the script to Yongsheng Film Company. Since Shaw Films stopped production, this fat man has gone to Yongsheng in the past, relying on his ghost horse chasing girls series movies It's also very prosperous, Yongsheng was just established by the Xiang brothers last year, and their connections are relatively weak, so this Wang Jing is a general in Yongsheng, and he is highly valued, so he dared to help Zhuoyi with the guarantee Scripts fight for a good price.

Zhuoyi deliberately dressed up his hair, put on the suit Guan Xiumei bought for him, and went out to Yongsheng with the script and novel manuscripts. During the few days with Guan Xiumei, Zhuo Yi personally experienced that Guan Xiumei is definitely a good wife and mother Such a good woman, Zhuoyi is like an old man at home, she just needs to open her mouth for food and clothes.

When Yongsheng saw Wang Jing, the swelling on this guy's face was almost healed.There were two other men in the office. Before Zhuo Yi could speak, the fat man Wang Jing ran over, his eyes glowing like a piao guy seeing a prostitute, "A Zhuo, did you bring the script? I see Down……"

"Damn, are you in such a hurry?" Zhuo handed over the script and laughed. "Your face looks thinner! Congratulations!"

Wang Jing said with a crying face: "You just gloat! I don't have time to talk to you now!" Then he introduced Zhuo Yi to the other two men and sat on the sofa to read the script. It seems that this guy really needs a script urgently. Filming!

"Hello! Xiang Huasheng.", "Xiang Huaqiang"

"Zhuoyi"

Zhuo Yi did not expect that these two were the brothers Xiang, the boss of Yongsheng Company. Xiang Huasheng was not very familiar with Zhuo Yi, but he was very familiar with Xiang Huaqiang, a movie lover. Speaking of it, there may be very few people who know the name Xiang Huaqiang.But those who have watched Chow Yun-fat's "God of Gamblers" may not forget the unsmiling, dedicated brother Fa Ge in the movie-Long Wu, the person who plays Long Wu is Xiang Huaqiang.

Xiang Huaqiang was just like the image in the movie, unsmiling, and after greeting Zhuo Yi, he took the script of "The Best Hurting Friend Breaks Through Love" and read it, but Xiang Huasheng asked Zhuo Yi to go to the coffee table next to him for a drink Tea, he is very interested in Zhuo Yi. He heard Wang Jing tell about Zhuo Yi's heroic deeds of beating sixteen big men with his bare hands in Chinatown. He thought that Zhuo Yi should be a very heroic and strong man. How could he know? It's better to be famous than to meet, Zhuo Yi is actually a handsome naughty boy, so I want to find out if Zhuo Yi has practiced Qigong or something.

"Brother Zhuo, have you ever learned Kung Fu? I heard from people outside that you can beat up a dozen big men by yourself in Chinatown!"

"Hehe! It's just that I have learned how to embroider legs with a few hands. It's hard to be elegant. I'm laughing..." Zhuo Yi waved his hand.He suddenly remembered the underworld background of the Xiang brothers. These two guys can be good fighters. It would be troublesome if they had to compete for no reason. Zhuo Yi was not afraid of them, but now he gradually realized that his spirit should not be too exhausted. , It’s usually nothing, but if you use your brain too intensively and intensively, you will have headaches and cracking sequelae later. He only discovered it after the Chinatown incident, so it can be avoided if you do it for no reason.

……

"A Zhuo, have you attended a professional screenwriting training class before? Are the scripts written so professionally?" Wang Jing asked curiously.At this moment, they have roughly read the script.

"Is there any problem with you asking like this?" Zhuo Yi thought there was something wrong with the script, so he stood up and asked.

In fact, Zhuo Yi didn’t know that most of the screenwriters in Hong Kong in the 80s were self-taught and had never written formal scripts. Therefore, they generally wrote scripts like stories. Wang Jing is one of them. Zhuo Yi rarely Such a well-written script.

Because Zhuo Yi has seen many classic award-winning scripts in later generations, he can’t help but have this habit in writing. He divides each story into about ten to 15 minutes, and then strictly follows each short paragraph with a small climax. Come to the end of a big climax, and the timing is just 10 minutes.Then he also marked in it what lens, camera, angle, lens switching, what scene to shoot, and even when to turn on the lights.

This is what shocked Wang Jing and Xiang Huaqiang. Wang Jing and the others felt that the story of the script was nothing. It was just another extension of Wang Jing's previous series of chasing girls. The script is so exquisitely written that he has no choice but to try a few times before he knows what scene he wants. The lens is like this!

In fact, many directors in Hong Kong were like this at the time. They didn’t know how to shoot until they were shooting. Wang Jing was better. This kind of shooting method was based on Wong Kar-wai’s classic. He usually didn’t have a script, but only a story he knew in his heart. , Even the location of the scene is blurred, and it is only when shooting that I can show my talent.So when this guy is filming, he shoots a part when he thinks of it, and gets off work when he can’t think of it, or he thinks of a better idea tomorrow and deletes the previous filming, and reshoots a better one.But you have to admire him. It is precisely because Hong Kong movies have these directors who like to carefully craft and study the lens and screen, that Hong Kong movies can occupy a place in the world movies.

Wang Jing and Xiang Huaqiang glanced at each other. They are both people who understand movies. Of course, they know how much time and money can be saved in filming if Zhuo Yi writes a script like this.With such a comprehensive and exquisite script, even a newcomer can become a director, as long as they shoot according to the script.

"You wrote these two scripts in the past three days?" Wang Jing looked at Zhuo Yi as if he had seen a ghost, and he suddenly remembered that he discussed the script with Zhuo Yi three days ago when he was in Chinatown of.

"Of course not! I wrote it on the computer before, and just heard that you wanted to use it, so I printed it out for you." Zhuo Yi naturally didn't want others to look at him in a different way, hiding his clumsiness is also a way to protect himself.

"Ah Qiang, brother Zhuo Yi, look, what are the prices of these two scripts?" Wang Jing turned his head to discuss with Xiang Huaqiang. Of course he knew that Xiang Huasheng was in charge of the company's internal and external operations, and that Xiang Huaqiang was responsible for the specific internal film matters. It's all right.

Xiang Huaqiang had a hard time making a choice. Zhuo Yi was brought over by Wang Jing, and Wang Jing looked like my brother. It would be difficult to explain to Wang Jing without Wang Jing. Wang Jing's position in the company is very important. Besides, these two The script is indeed a good script, but if you give too much, you are afraid that the impact will be bad. If you start this way, it will be difficult for future screenwriters to increase the price, and it will increase the cost investment. A good script does not necessarily have a good box office.

"Otherwise, I don't want a penny for these two scripts..." Zhuo Yi also saw Xiang Huaqiang's difficulty.

The Xiang brothers looked at Zhuo Yi strangely with Wang Jing,

"However, if the local box office of the movie produced by the script is more than 1000 million, I want 2000% of the total box office, and if it exceeds [-] million, I want [-]%. How about it?" Zhuo Yi suggested.

This time the Xiang Brothers are really a little embarrassed. You must know that Hong Kong produced more than 100 two hundred films last year, but only 1000 films had a box office of more than 2000 million, and only ten films had a box office of 1000 million. Think about it. Ten million box office is simply too difficult.Besides, even if Zhuo Yi was lucky enough to break 30 million, he would only be divided into 30. Their company's interests were greater. He originally wanted to buy Wang Jing's face for [-], so why not do it now?In this way, they will take advantage of it.

"That's it! We want two scripts, 15 together, and if the box office is good, how about giving you the box office commission you said?" That's right, the Xiang brothers have just started business, and they are not as good as those businessmen. Insidiously, he agreed more proudly, and returned 15 to Zhuo Yi, so that Zhuo Yi would lose everything.

Of course Zhuo Yi agreed.He is not stupid.This guy knows that the box office of these two movies is more than 2000 million and the other is more than 600 million. In this way, after the movie is released, the box office will be prosperous once it comes out!

After receiving Xiang Huaqiang's 15 yuan check, he was about to leave. He didn't want to participate in the actor's business anymore. I believe that Wang Jing, an old fritter, will find a suitable actor.This guy is still holding the novel draft of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" in his hand, and he can't wait to submit it.
