The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 536 Cheongsam
"The book "Love in a Fallen City" is really good, Wang Jing, you have a high vision." Xu Guanwu couldn't help smiling and said, "Then choose this book first, and then you can see if there is any better one. ?”

Wang Jing couldn't help laughing happily when she got the praise. Naturally, other people didn't want Wang Jing to be more beautiful than before, so they all searched hard.Then Zhang Ailing's "White Rose and Red Rose", Yi Shu's "Golden Years", Li Bihua's "Rouge", etc., were all selected by these screenwriters.

Although Xu Guanwu only chose "Love in a Fallen City" in the end, he also reminded him to buy the film and television adaptation rights of other books, and find someone to make them into movies later.You must know that "Rouge" co-starred by Mei Yanfang and Zhang Guorong is quite a classic movie.

After Lin Qingxia was selected to shoot "Love in a Fallen City", Xu Guanwu asked the screenwriter present while filming the book, "I will send someone to Ms. Zhang Ailing to discuss the film and television adaptation rights of this book. I think It shouldn’t be too much of an issue, so now we’re talking about, who’s going to adapt the book and who’s going to direct it?”

"Mr. Xu, I'm good at action movies and comedy movies. I'm really not good at adapting this kind of romance movies." Huang Bingyao waved his hands.

Xu Guanwu nodded. In his previous life, he had watched dozens of movies written by Huang Bingyao, but he really didn't find that he had any specialties in describing the relationship between men and women.

"Mr. Xu, I'm not very proficient in the relationship between men and women, please forgive me and I can't do anything." Huang Baiming also raised his hand in surrender.

Seeing that Huang Baiming could not take on this important task, Xu Guanwu couldn't help feeling disappointed.It is true that the films written by Huang Baiming are mostly comedies, or tragedies like "A Lang's Story" and "Hitching the Wrong Car".I haven't seen him write literary and artistic romance films, and I guess he is really not good at this subject.

"Mr. Xu, if you can trust me, let me write this script." Wang Jing stood up at this time and said.

"You?!" Xu Guanwu was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to object.Because in his impression, although Wang Jing is a good screenwriter, the scripts he writes are either crazy and over the top, or too sensational.

"I also had a precedent of successfully adapting Mr. Zhang Henshui's "A Family of Gold Fans" into "A Dream of Beijing". Mr. Xu, trust me." Seeing Xu Guanwu's hesitation, Wang Jing quickly said again.

"Well then, I will leave this book to you to adapt. But after you finish writing it, let me read it first." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said, "As for the director, let's talk about it next time .”

……

After the meeting ended, General Xu Guan invited Liang Shuyi over, "Do you know where Ms. Zhang Ailing is now?"

"Zhang Ailing?! Oh, is that the female writer from the old era?" Liang Shuyi was taken aback and then woke up, "I don't really know, but the whereabouts of a celebrity like her shouldn't be hard to find. What, you find Is she okay?"

"I want to buy the film and television adaptation rights of several books in her hands, please contact me for help." Xu Guanwu said.

"Does anyone still read her books?" Liang Shuyi couldn't help asking in doubt, "People in Hong Kong prefer writers like Yi Shu, Qiong Yao, and Li Bihua."

"Don't worry, a writer full of personality like Zhang Ailing will always find a bosom friend." Xu Guanwu smiled and said.

"It makes sense to say that, so which of her novels do you plan to buy the film and television adaptation rights for?" Liang Shuyi asked with a smile.

"It's mainly this "Love in a Fallen City". Of course, if she is willing to sell the film and television adaptation rights of other novels, she can also buy them back." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said, "Maybe this "Love in a Fallen City" If it becomes popular, it will set off a wave of Zhang Ailing's craze in Hong Kong."

""Love in a Fallen City"?! I have read this novel, Bai Liusu and Fan Liuyuan are really interesting." Liang Shuyi smiled and said, "But I think her "Half Life" is very well written. , if Mr. Xu wants to adapt a movie, that one will be more in-depth."

"Actually, I'm not very familiar with Zhang Ailing, I just heard about this strange woman." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "It's Qingxia who wants to come back to filming, so I just helped her find a book and adapt the script."

"So, it's really an honor for Ms. Lin to have you as a flower protector." Liang Shuyi couldn't help laughing.

Xu Guanwu was also blushed by her smile, "Don't cancel me, in fact, I know that I am very sorry for her, and I can't even give her a formal title."

"Actually, if a woman really loves you, status or not doesn't matter." Liang Shuyi waved her hand, "When I was studying abroad, I saw many couples living together for many years without getting married."

"Well, in fact, I really want to give Qingxia a status, maybe one day I will be a naturalized citizen." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "The law over there allows a man to marry four wives. "

"Haha, then you have to hurry up and choose the other two talents." Liang Shuyi couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "Okay, I won't chat with you anymore, I have already remembered what you said, so don't worry and wait for me good news."

"Well, I'll leave everything about Ms. Zhang Ailing to you." Xu Guanwu also nodded and said.

……

When she got home from get off work in the evening, Lin Qingxia hurriedly brought tea and water, as if she were a pissed off daughter-in-law.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help smiling, "Okay, don't worry, I've already chosen the script for you."

"Oh?! What is the script, and what is it about?" Lin Qingxia was pleasantly surprised when she heard it.

"It's "Love in a Fallen City" by Ms. Zhang Ailing. Have you read this book before?" Xu Guanwu smiled and said.

"Who is Zhang Ailing?!" Lin Qingxia blinked her eyes and asked, "You also know that I have dyslexia, so I don't usually read."

"Uh..." Xu Guanwu couldn't help but pause for a moment, "Zhang Ailing was a female writer in the period of the Republic of China. She wrote many novels and essays. She is a famous female talent in modern history."

"Oh, what kind of story is "Love in a Fallen City" about? It sounds like a boring literary romance movie." Lin Qingxia frowned and said, "I said it a long time ago, I don't want to make this movie again. Kind of a game."

"Don't worry, the story in this book is very different from Ms. Qiong Yao's romance novels." Xu Guanwu smiled, and then roughly told Lin Qingxia the story of "Love in a Fallen City".

Lin Qingxia couldn't help frowning after hearing this, "Is there something wrong with Bai Liusu and Fan Liuyuan?! This is not something normal people can do at all."

"Hehe," Xu Guanwu smiled happily, "This story is indeed not for ordinary people, she is for those ladies who are doing nothing and moaning without illness. Didn't you realize that Bai Liusu and Fan Liuyuan are actually very similar to Lin Daiyu With Jia Baoyu? Obviously both of them are interested in each other, but they still want to try again and again, leaving each other covered in bruises."

"Do you think this movie is suitable for me?" Lin Qingxia looked at Xu Guanwu in doubt.

"Well, if you think this film is not suitable for you, I can find other scripts." Seeing that Lin Qingxia didn't really want to shoot, Xu Guanwu said, "In fact, we also have many choices, like Yi Shu's "Golden Years", Li Bihua's "Rouge Button", Zhang Ailing's "Half Life", "White Rose and Red Rose".

"Then tell me their stories, and I'll make a choice after listening." Lin Qingxia couldn't help but nodded when she heard what Xu Guanwu said.

Xu Guanwu then told Lin Qingxia the stories of "Golden Years", "Rouge Button", "Half Life" and "White Rose and Red Rose".

After Lin Qingxia finished listening, she just sighed, "It's the first time I've heard stories written by so many women. Why do I feel so helpless? It's either betrayal or parting, or life and death. Why can't they write for the book? How about a good story with the characters arranged?"

"This may be the place where female writers have a delicate mind. They can always feel the unsatisfactory aspects of life. It's like Lin Daiyu lives in the Grand View Garden, drinking so many sisters and sisters together every day, and Jia Baoyu is there to make her happy. There are maids and mother-in-law who serve attentively, but they still sigh "360 days a year, wind, knife, frost, and sword will force each other hard." Xu Guanwu smiled and said.

"Oh, after listening to so many stories, I think the story of "Rouge Button" is the best. It's a pity that I can't act that kind of romantic, so I can only take advantage of other women." Lin Qingxia sighed He said in one breath, "The rest of "Half Life" has too many characters, it is really difficult to adapt it into a movie. But "White Rose and Red Rose" is too dark, "Golden Years" is pretty good, but it's a pity that it's not the same as me. The previous scenes are no different. I choose and choose, let’s stick to this "Love in a Fallen City". Anyway, it’s a breakthrough for me, and I’m not playing an innocent and innocent girl."

After listening to Lin Qingxia's comments, Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing, "If the original author heard you comment on their works, I think you will definitely not be allowed to act in their works. But since you have chosen "Love in a Fallen City" ", then I will bring you the script later. By the way, I will help you prepare the costumes in the past two days."

"Well, then you can help me buy a copy of "Love in a Fallen City" later, I want to read it in advance to figure out the characters." Lin Qingxia also nodded and said.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Okay, I just wonder if you look good in a cheongsam?"

"Why, am I going to wear a cheongsam in this play?" Lin Qingxia asked in surprise.

"That's right, Bai Liusu is from the old magic capital, and women at that time wore cheongsam." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "And don't you think women can show off their figure better by wearing cheongsam? The cheongsam is tight at the top and open at the bottom, which is both subtle and exposed, especially when walking, with two long legs looming, how attractive it should be."

"Bah! Crazy wolf!" Hearing what Xu Guanwu said, Lin Qingxia couldn't help poking his head reproachfully and said, "I'm only thinking about these dirty things."

"This is a great injustice." Xu Guanwu called Tian Qu and said, "I just look at the problem from an aesthetic point of view. You really think too bad of me."

"It's not that I think bad of you, it's that you are a bad person." Lin Qingxia rolled his eyes at him and said, "Can I not wear the cheongsam? Can I just wear a skirt or trousers?"

"Why, your legs are too thick to see people?" Xu Guanwu asked suspiciously, looking down, "No, they are quite thin and long."

"But won't wearing a cheongsam be too revealing? People seem to be seeing her thighs." Lin Qingxia said shyly, "I think skirts or trousers are more suitable for me."

"No, the cheongsam won't look too revealing, so don't worry about it." Xu Guanwu waved his hands and said, "Besides, the cheongsam was originally a fixed attire at that time. How can you look professional if you don't wear it? And the cheongsam is also the most suitable One of the costumes of oriental women, you are so beautiful, have such a temperament, and such a good figure, wearing a cheongsam is guaranteed to charm a lot of people."

"I'm going to die. I said such a thing in front of my daughter, and said it so loudly. How embarrassing for the baby to hear it." Lin Qingxia blushed with shame when Xu Guanwu praised her.

"What does Sichen know at such an old age? Besides, our daughter should also wear a cheongsam in the future, and then she will fascinate a lot of young boys." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "When the time comes, all the wealthy families in Hong Kong will come to propose marriage to our family. Our Sichen is the little daughter-in-law that everyone wants to marry back home."
