Chapter Seven Hundred and Forty Sixth Gathering
Soon, Xiao Yunhai's car stopped steadily at the manor villa, and Zhang Xiaojing, Lin Hui, and Lin Lu welcomed everyone into the living room together.
After chatting for a while, Wang Guoan, Sun Yanjun and others went to the entertainment room to play mahjong, while Xiao Yunhai read the script of "Battle of Chibi" in his study.
I have to admit, this world is indeed full of talented people. Just like this script, instead of the old-fashioned "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" being moved into the movie, it focuses on the cruelty of the war while preserving the original flavor of the story.
Whether it is a previous life or this world, good war movies, without exception, are essentially anti-war.
Undoubtedly, this "Battle of Chibi" has done this perfectly.
Apart from the storyline, what surprised Xiao Yunhai the most was the lines in it.
What Wang Guoan said was not wrong. Every word and sentence of this script was carefully considered, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it carefully.
Not only does it retain the strong ancient style, but it can also be understood by people, which is much stronger than those similar movies in previous lives.
After Xiao Yunhai read the Chinese version of the script, he opened the English version of the script.
Since Jiao Fangtao's film "Xiao Cui" became popular all over the world, almost all companies and directors in China have studied its successful experience.
Although Xiao Yunhai's "Infernal Affairs" and "Fighting Heroes" have higher box office than "Xiao Cui", their research value is not as good as "Xiao Cui".
Because "Xiao Cui" is one of "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai", it represents traditional Chinese culture. Its success represents the seamless integration of Chinese culture and world films. Compared with Xiao Yunhai's two plays, it is naturally more Significant.
therefore,
Any ambitious Huaxia director will basically come up with two scripts for filming now, one for internal and one for external.
In order to achieve good results at the global box office, Wu Zixu also made great efforts to invite the original screenwriter team of "Xiao Cui" to make an English version of the film.
After Xiao Yunhai watched it, although he always felt a little weird, he had to admit that it really had the taste of a Hollywood war blockbuster.
After Xiao Yunhai read the script, he rubbed his temples, and then fell into thought.
If you take up the filming of "Battle of Chibi", then you can only choose one of the two plays to shoot, otherwise the time may be too late.
Of course, it doesn't mean that it is impossible. The biggest difficulty is in casting.
Because these two movies are not like "Infernal Affairs", as long as you find some superstars with good acting skills, everything will be fine.
They are very down-to-earth, and if you look for those bright and bright actors, you won't be able to play it at all. Even if the filming is good, the audience may be in danger of dancing at a glance.
Therefore, Xiao Yunhai must make great efforts in casting. If you choose the right actors, then you can get twice the result with half the effort.
Conversely, if the cast isn't the right one, there could be big trouble.
"By the way, why don't I go to Director Wu to discuss with these old movie stars."
Before filming "Langya Bang", Xiao Yunhai asked Hong Tianchou for help. Sure enough, with his help, Xiao Yunhai quickly found the most suitable actor, and "Langya Bang" became popular in Asia.
Wu Zixu, Ge Wuyou, and Wang Guoan have been filming in the Huaxia entertainment industry all their lives. I don't know how many actors they have worked with. It should be no problem to help him choose some qualified actors.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai immediately got up and came to the entertainment room.
Seeing Wu Zixu, Ge Wuyou, Wang Guoan, and Sun Yanjun fighting in full swing, Xiao Yunhai couldn't help laughing: "How are the four teachers fighting?"
Wang Guoan laughed and said: "I, Cao Mengde, have experienced hundreds of battles. On the mahjong field, I am invincible. How can the three of them be my opponents?"
Sun Yanjun laughed and scolded: "Don't brag here, don't you just win a lot more than me? What's so amazing. You are still invincible in the world, you have it."
When Wu Zixu next to him saw Xiao Yunhai coming, his mind immediately shifted from the card game to his own movie, and asked, "Yunhai, what do you think of the script?"
Several other people also looked at Xiao Yunhai, and the cards in Ge Wuyou's hand were in their hands, but they didn't play them for a long time.
Xiao Yunhai gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "This script is one of the best I've ever seen, and it's really good. If it's done well, it will sweep the world of cinema."
Wu Zixu's face showed a look of joy, and he asked, "Then what do you mean?"
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "The director, script, and actors are all top-notch in China, so I naturally don't want to let it go. I took this drama."
Wu Zixu slapped his thigh and said happily, "It's great. With your participation, I have more confidence in this drama."
Ge Wuyou, who was next to him, immediately knocked out Fa Cai in his hand and said, "We're sure to win this time."
Wu Zixu pushed the mahjong on the table and shouted, "Huh, Thirteen."
When Wang Guoan heard this, he laughed and said, "I see. Just as Yun Hai agreed, Director Wu gave up his cards. It seems that this is a very good omen."
Everyone nodded in unison.
Xiao Yunhai said: "However, I don't want to give up on my two films. Director Wu, you said you could give me two months, right?"
Wu Zixu nodded and said, "That's right. What? You want to shoot two movies in two months."
Xiao Yunhai said: "That's right. My two films don't have any big scenes and don't need any special effects. It's not difficult to shoot. The only thing is the actors. As long as the actors are strong, I don't even need a month and a half. It can be done. Teachers know a lot of people in the circle, and I hope everyone can help me.”
Wang Guoan laughed and said: "No problem. However, we must read the script first, so as not to make mistakes when recommending actors to you. Don't worry, we will not disclose the storyline in the script to others. Old man, you should rest assured."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Of course. If I can't even trust a few teachers, then who else can I trust in the entire Chinese film industry."
Wu Zixu stood up and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go see Yunhai's masterpiece together."
The equipment in Xiao Yunhai's study is still very complete, including computers and printers. In less than ten minutes, the two scripts of "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing" were in the hands of everyone.
Xiao Yunhai said: "Teachers, you can take your time, don't worry. My appointment with Big Brother Xuanwu is at 5:30. It is estimated that they will arrive soon. I will go to the kitchen to take a look first."
Wu Zixu waved his hand without raising his eyes, and said, "Go and do your thing, we'll watch here for a while, and then go down when Lao Li arrives."
Xiao Yunhai's talent is recognized in the film circle, and his script is absolutely attractive to these filmmakers, and there is no need to worry about other things.
Seeing that everyone was immersed in the script, Xiao Yunhai said helplessly, "Then I'm going out."
When he came to the living room, Li Xun, who had just come in from the outside, asked, "Yunhai, what about Director Wu and the others? Why did they disappear in a blink of an eye?"
Xiao Yunhai pointed upstairs and said, "I'm reading my two movie scripts."
As soon as Li Xun heard it, he ran upstairs without saying a word.
Xiao Yunhai looked at his back and shook his head with a wry smile.
