Chapter 397 Domestic Views on "Shaking Earth"
Before starting the formal negotiations, we might as well advance the time by half a month to see what President Gongsun and Zhang Xinyan have done after returning to Julong Film Production Company.

The first thing President Gongsun did was to call Julong, Phoenix, and Xinlian, the top executives of the three Zuo P films with investment and control behind the scenes in the mainland, to start research on the half-destroyed script of "Shaking Earth".

Wang Xiaohu's ability to control the script is second to none in Xiangjiang. Since he was lucky enough to get a script that had not been filmed, it was natural for everyone to analyze and study it together. The senior management of the three companies only read it twice before they unanimously approved the script of "Shaking Earth". The nature of the main theme.

"This script is really good." A senior executive of Julong nodded affirmatively: "I just don't know how to arrange the main plot in the middle. If it is the domestic style, it will inevitably fall into the cliché, and it will definitely not be accepted by the citizens of Xiangjiang. "

Zhang Xinyan spoke directly: "The current main theme movies in China are all the same in terms of storylines, but Wang Xiaohu starts from the essence of movies, that is, from the perspective of commercial elements. Sex makes people want to stop, and it can fully resonate with the audience."

"Why is it a disaster about earthquakes?" Someone from Phoenix questioned, "Could it be something else? Even if it's a kung fu movie."

Yes, everyone, including President Gongsun, fell silent. They couldn't understand why Wang Xiaohu gave up his best kung fu movie genre and set the main theme of the movie as an earthquake disaster movie. The executives of the three film companies You look at me, I look at you, no one knows why.

In the end, President Gongsun patted the table and said: "No matter what the subject matter is, I just ask you, if this script is sent to China, will it be adopted?"

"Gongsun, you won't."

President Gongsun sighed, "I always feel that this main theme fits the current form of our country. If the above can pass, maybe it can be filmed."

"President Gongsun, this is probably very difficult!" Zhang Xinyan said after pondering for a while, "First of all, we don't know what Wang Xiaohu's remaining script is about, and secondly, this movie is not easy to shoot, and domestic shooting hardware can't meet the requirements Not to mention, any film company in Xiangjiang would not be able to produce the effect required by the script."

"How do you say it?" Everyone was taken aback, and they all looked at Zhang Xinyan. A representative of Xinlian said, "Comrade Zhang, you are a bit alarmist when you say this. Everyone is engaged in movies. Why do you say that you can't make films?" effect?"

"That's right, if you have difficulties, you must face them, and if you don't have difficulties, you must create difficulties!"

All the people present were high-level executives from the three companies, but Zhang Xinyan was the lowest. He swallowed and explained: "Leaders, I'm not alarmist. Everyone is in the industry and should know that Wang Xiaohu's film cannot be copied. , everyone can think about it carefully, which of several Bruce Lee movies is the most exciting?"

"Do you still need to ask! Of course it is "Fist of Fury" and "The Warrior's Journey"!" The senior executives said in unison.

"From the perspective of the height and influence of the film, "Jing Fu Men" is well-deserved for its collection of patriotic national sentiments and wonderful fights, and it is also a classic masterpiece of Bruce Lee." Zhang Xinyan said: "In terms of the visual impact of kung fu movies, "Jing Fu Men" Warrior's Journey directly broke the world's inherent cognition of kung fu movies. Although the two movies are both works of Bruce Lee, the common feature is that they are both written by Wang Xiaohu himself, acting as a martial arts instructor and participating in the filming."

When Zhang Xinyan said this, everyone basically understood what he wanted to express, that is to say, he also wrote the script, no matter who shoots it, there is no classic filmed by Wang Xiaohu!

Moreover, Zhang Xinyan seemed to have not finished speaking, so he went on to say: "Besides, and have you ever thought about it, although this movie is the main theme, the opening scene of the earth vibration requires a lot of special effects. As far as I know, there are only Hollywood is barely able to produce such special effects. Wang Xiaohu has already established a firm foothold in Hollywood. It is not difficult to make these. However, other film companies in Hong Kong do not have these convenient conditions. It is difficult to realize the maximum value of the script. Difficult!"

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly froze. These days, the main business elements are kung fu, comedy, and visual effects. All the premise is to have a good script. Wang Xiaohu's script is not picky, it is definitely the guarantee of the box office, and His martial arts style is also close to realism, giving people a very strong feeling of real fighting.

The same is hanging wire, the people under Wang Xiaohu are more professional and proficient than others, and the movements of hanging are also wonderful and beautiful. With the same props, Wang Xiaohu can always play well, and he keeps inventing some gadgets.

Last year, Xiehe Company came back from Hollywood with two large cameras, which are said to be the most advanced equipment in the world. The quality of the pictures produced has been confirmed in "A Hu". A company with a lot of professionals, spare no expense With the cost of upgrading the shooting hardware and holding a good script, Wang Xiaohu's success really cannot be replicated.

Just like there is only one Bruce Lee in the world, there is only one Wang Xiaohu in the world!

The executives of the three major Zuo P film companies were completely shocked and helpless.

"Then what should we do?" President Gongsun patted the table impatiently and said, "How about we take out the special effect of the ground vibration, or replace it with other disasters."

The meeting has basically changed here. The focus of everyone's discussion has shifted to how to change the script of "Shattering Earth" into a disaster. They talked about a lot of plots in a hurry. Maybe it is Wang Xiaohu's preconceived ideas in the script. Everyone listed it The plot is not as good as "Shaking Earth", which feels more thematic.

"Hey, forget it." The meeting tossed for several hours and couldn't come up with the best plan. President Gongsun finally said helplessly: "I will hand over the script to the country first, and let the country give instructions on how to decide in the end."

The second thing President Gongsun did was to send the semi-disabled script and the results of the discussion to the country in a secret way. On the tenth day, an encrypted telegram was sent to President Gongsun.

"The script is very good, and the leader likes it very much. We have further contact, and obtained Wang's negotiation bottom line, and reported it in time."

President Gongsun read the telegram several times, only the first two lines in his eyes were "The script is very good, the leader likes it very much", that is to say, President Gongsun found something that the domestic leaders liked by accident this time, and the leaders liked it. Naturally, it refers to those who live in Zhonghai.

So President Gongsun, who received instructions from the higher-ups, did the third thing: he couldn't wait to call Wang Xiaohu.Even though Wang Xiaohu was concerned about running the school at this time, compared to the opportunity to enter the inland, the school seemed a bit insignificant, and the school could be opened at any time, but the opportunity to enter the inland was fleeting.

Wang Xiaohu still received President Gongsun in the study, the difference is that this time President Gongsun was very enthusiastic after seeing Wang Xiaohu, holding his hand tightly and said: "Comrade Xiao Wang, I am here this time to bring Good news for you, the leader likes your script very much, should you come up with the complete script this time?"

"Don't worry about it." Wang Xiaohu gave up his seat with a smile, poured a cup of hot tea for President Gongsun himself, and then sat down and said unhurriedly: "Let's talk about the leader's opinion on the script first, I am more daring about it." Points of Interest."

President Gongsun was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he had slipped his tongue when he was so excited, and hurriedly smiled and said vaguely: "There is no leader, that is, I sat down with the bosses of Julong, Xianlian, and Phoenix to study , I think this script is good."

"Pretend, you can continue to pretend."

Wang Xiaohu sneered in his heart, his face only slightly frowned to reveal faint doubts, and then he sighed with some disappointment and said: "Hey, it's just good, but my script only wanted the beginning and the end, and I didn't write the middle part. Woolen cloth!"

"Ah! Didn't you say to complete it as soon as possible last time?" President Gongsun immediately became anxious when he heard it. The leaders in the country still want to read the finished script, which is the most important task.

Wang Xiaohu spread his arms and said with a smile: "President Gongsun, I can't help it. I am the boss of four satellite companies and I want to direct "A Lang's Story". I don’t have time to tinker with such unprofitable things, so I just wrote the beginning and the end on a whim.”

"Hey! Comrade Xiao Wang, you have hurt me this time! I have promised... to the owners of the other three film companies that I will bring back the finished script this time. You make me very embarrassed!" President Gongsun had a bitter face when he heard the words, his annoyance and helplessness were fully revealed.

Wang Xiaohu kept everything in his eyes, and smiled in his heart: You deserve it, if you have something to say, just say no, you really think I don’t know anything, the boss of Zuo P Film Company is clearly a high-level person in China The leader wants to see, now you are forced, you deserve it, if you don’t tell the leader’s opinion on the most script, how can I determine the standard of domestic script requirements, if I don’t know the standard, how can I plan for the future?
In short, the current Wang Xiaohu is not in a hurry at all. On the contrary, the more anxious President Gongsun is, the happier he is, because he knows that the balance has begun to tilt to his side, and he is gradually occupying certain things. took the initiative.

President Gongsun is destined to come here for nothing today, and there are some things that cannot be rushed. Wang Xiaohu knows that if he is too active, he will be looked down upon by the other party instead, and his leverage in future negotiations will shrink, or even drop in price.
