Chapter 41: Two Days and Two Nights of Script Creation
"Since it is a prequel to "Wire Service", you might as well do it. Lin Jingwen was hired by the police to arrest a former policeman! And among them, there was another policeman making trouble, and this policeman was once good friends with the former policeman! I mean, just like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they were tit-for-tat and stalemate!"
Lin Jingwen is the male protagonist in "Site Service", nicknamed the waiter! And the mischievous policeman has always been a policeman who competes with Lin Jingwen in the play in his vision. Chu Yue's proposal is more like a sudden inspiration for Lin Jingwen to fight with the police in "Site Service".
After hearing this, Ah Hao thought hard for a moment, his eyes gradually lit up, and it was like a 200-degree light bulb. He laughed and hugged Chu Yue, then shouted: "I thought of it, haha, I'll write now, don't let anyone disturb me!" As he said that, he ran into his bedroom!
Chu Yue looked at A Hao's excited expression with a look of surprise on his face, and shook his head with a wry smile. He didn't quite understand what kind of nerve A Hao was. However, this kid must have a clue when he was so excited!
Seeing that the release of "Shapo Wolf" is getting closer and closer, Chu Yue is also extremely bored. "Shopper Maniac" has not started filming yet, and it seems that he is still waiting for the schedule of several actors. "Exile" is currently under intense preparations!
During these days, he and Qiao Xuan went to have a meal, and most of the rest of the time were spent in bars or stadiums, or flying in the clouds! However, Chu Yue, who was so idle, forgot to say that he would go to trouble those Xingyimen, which made the people in the martial arts hall nervous for a while.
Such a life is so pleasant! Chu Yue sighed, suddenly, he didn't want to be a professional player anymore. He is not young now, and whether he wants him or not is still another matter! Besides, if you go to play football, you will have to run on the court, and there is not as much time as you have to rest now!
Thinking about the feeling of being an actor, Chu Yue still thinks it is pretty good. He likes to play false and fool the world on the screen. The feeling of cheating in front of the world is like rape under the order. Of course, he feels that the performance is more like seduction...
The only thing that made him unhappy was that Ah Hao had not left the bedroom for two days. Every time he went in to observe, he found that the boy was lying on the computer desk and knocking. He wrote scripts that were not in tune with each other for two days and two nights. It was probably only such a fanatic could do it. I remember that when Xu Ke was filming "New Dragon Inn", he had never met all the staff and actors for three days and three nights!
Because he was worried that Ah Hao would have an accident, he didn't go anywhere. He was just bored and leisurely drinking beer while watching TV! Finally, another night passed, Chu Yue returned from practicing in the morning and saw a stack of printed documents on the coffee table. The title page clearly stated six big words "First Line Service Prequel"!
Ah Hao is now in a deep sleep. Chu Yue bought soy milk and fried dough sticks outside, enjoying the pleasant breakfast while enjoying this brand new script!
It took two hours to finish the script in detail, and he breathed deeply. He couldn't help but glance at the boy's bedroom: "I didn't expect that he is really a genius!"
The plot of this prequel is not very complicated. In the play, a thief was once an outstanding policeman from the police department. In front of all the police, he robbed the stolen goods that he wanted to go to court - a diamond worth 20 million!
But the stolen goods were in a hurry to go to court to convict the drug offender. The police had no choice but to invite Lin Jingwen, known as the waiter. The thief who was once a policeman, had a good friend who was also a policeman who went alone to investigate the whereabouts of his good friend and wanted to arrest him. As a result, a series of wits and courage occurred between the three people. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms open and secret struggles made the plot easy to relax while tense.
The most exciting plot of this drama is the battle with the three parties. Even the plot of the thief stealing stolen goods from the police department at the beginning is quite exciting. There is almost no force, and it is all stolen by the mind!
Wonderful! This is the most standard evaluation that Chu Yue can give. On the surface, this drama seems a bit like "Dark War". But in fact, it has nothing to do with "Dark War", but they are all in the wits type. In terms of itself, it can be said to be the strongest wits film since "Dark War".
After pondering for a long time, he could assert that this drama must have the potential to sell the title. The key is, which director should the drama be directed by? With a very good script, it does not mean that the drama must be successful. It also requires an excellent and appropriate director, excellent and suitable actors, and behind-the-scenes staff.
Thinking of this, he roughly conceived the composition of this drama in his mind, and couldn't stop thinking about how much production cost this drama would cost! He soon laughed. Ahao controlled this drama very well, and there was almost no real big scene in the drama, and there were not even a few explosions!
If you don’t need a celebrity, the production fee for this drama… I calculated it roughly and quickly got a rough number - eight million! And what really costs these eight million, mainly production equipment, film, etc., but it doesn’t cost much money in actual shooting!
Next, it is how to make this book into a movie. After pondering for a while, Chen Musheng has been to Huanya, Huanyu and China Star. You might as well consider the next few companies such as Emperor Ying! However, Hengxing Company has a close relationship with the gangsters, and Chu Yue is unwilling to have any relationship with this company.
Otherwise, let’s go to light and shadow? Light and shadow itself is not as extensive as Emperor and Hengxing Company, and its career is only focused on the production and distribution of movies! Light and shadow film companies under Light and Shadow Group are obviously a good choice!
Chu Yue and Ahao were somewhat nervous when submitting the script to the remaining four major companies. In the film industry, especially those who are behind the scenes, many of them can enter this circle by relying on their connections. Even if they are in front of the scenes, they have no connections, and it is not easy to enter the industry.
Take Chu Yue and Ahao for example. If Ahao asked his father to spend half of his property to invest, then his script could certainly be able to start the show, which is the power of money. But without spending money, he had to go in like this with his own ability. And when the market was so bleak, none of the books he had written in the past two or three years could start filming!
If Chu Yue had not known Wang Jindong and had not learned makeup skills under his school, but had relied on the martial arts he had practiced to try to enter the industry, he would at least have to go to the martial arts school or boxing school. Through this point, he would become a martial arts school and be appreciated and favored before he could be promoted to an assistant for action guidance, and finally promoted to action guidance, and he would be considered to have truly entered this circle.
Before entering the industry, Chu Yue did not know how difficult it would be to enter the industry. Now that he knows the depth of it, he is worried about the future of this book. Think about it, the screenwriter Mai Zhaohui, who was famous for his great success in the book "Infernal Affairs" and was once the deputy director of Chen Musheng's filming "The Street of the Furious Stormtrooper" and was immersed in the film industry for many years. It is such an expert veteran. The "Infernal Affairs" he wrote has been to several major film companies and did not get the opportunity to start filming, and in the end it was lucky to start the show at Huanya Company.
Qualifications and qualifications. In the deep water pool of the entertainment industry, qualifications are extremely important. With qualifications, the children of some old celebrities can enter this industry smoothly. With qualifications, that is everything!
Without Chu Yue's expectations, there were very few companies that gave the answer. Among the five major companies, only Light and Shadow gave the reply on the third day and asked them to go to the company to discuss! Huanya Company had made a lot of money in "Infernal Affairs" before, but now it attaches great importance to such films. However, Ahao said to block Huanya Company: "The male lead must be Chu Yue!"
Huanya Company was in a hurry and checked for a while. Finally, it was found that Chu Yue was the famous makeup artist in the circle. The person in charge immediately sneered: A smelly makeup artist also wants to be the leading actor, let's do it for the next life!
It is impossible not to admit that makeup artists have a very low status in the circle, and even screenwriters have a very low status. As mentioned earlier, the entertainment industry has a very strict class, and makeup artists cannot be considered the lowest level, but they are definitely not considered high-level or middle-level. If Chu Yue had not been beautiful and regular, his status would definitely be much lower than now.
The Light and Shadow Company was founded for a long time, and Chu Yue was not very clear about it, but the company was founded twenty years ago. However, this company has not had much strength and the films it has produced have no influence. It can only be said that it is a mixed company.
When Hong Kong films were in a very low tide in 1999, Light and Shadow was acquired by a large company with strong financial resources, and then it developed rapidly! During this period, it invested in dramas such as "The Lonely Man and the Widow", and the film "The Big Man" was also an investment in light and shadow, which can be said to be a fame and fortune (Light and Shadow is a fictional one, and these two films seem to be invested by China Star. Here, the plot needs to be slightly changed.)
Light and Shadow Company is located in Shunchang Building, North Point. When Chu Yue came here, he suddenly remembered something: "Shunchang Industrial Building? It seems that he had heard it in "Fighting Ambition"!" After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized that in "Infernal Affairs", Hua Zai was drawn in the mouth of the gangster: Niutoujiao Changhui Industrial Building! It is the address of the basic film company that produced "Infernal Affairs". Unexpectedly, Light and Shadow also played with this trick!
Light and Shadow Film Company is a subsidiary of Light and Shadow Group, which specializes in making videos. Chu Yue and A Hao came here. When he came here, A Hao seemed to remember something and took two steps forward to look at Chu Yue: "A Yue, it seems that Cai Siting has also come here!"
Cai Siting wanted to bully Chu Yue for pleasure a few days ago, but Chu Yue played with her pimples that could not even be used to put on makeup to start a new show. As a result, the director was furious and changed to another actress. What was even more depressing was that the acne disappeared automatically after only two days. Cai Siting was angry and turned to Guangying and immediately made a note to Guangying for several dramas.
Chu Yue, who had a bad memory, received this reminder. Finally, he remembered that Cai Siting was also in this company. He frowned and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, she can't play any tricks!" As the scene said, he was still a little nervous about Ah Hao's book. If Cai Siting had something to play in it, light and shadow would definitely support Cai Siting...
