800. Script broadcast
For Wang Yifan, "Dark War" is indeed a classic story, but he still has many such stories in his hands.
He must not be able to do it all by himself.
Then it is naturally a good choice to take these classic videos of your previous life for the right person.
For Cao Meng, although he had expected something before, after all, although Wang Yifan has a reputation for writing scripts, it really surprised him that Hong Kong films, especially this kind of story with a strong Hong Kong film color, was written by Wang Yifan.
But I have to say that "Dark War" really made him very fond of it.
Hong Kong films have been declining for a long time. As an old director who has come from the golden age of Hong Kong films, Cao Meng's love for Hong Kong films is outrageous to his heart.
It’s not that he can’t make Hong Kong-style movies, but he hopes to re-show the glory of Hong Kong films in his lifetime. Even if it’s just a retrospective look, he can still give other latecomers an example.
Hong Kong films are not outdated, it is just because the current Hong Kong people are still in the glory of the past and do not want to come out, but the times have changed.
Although the movies produced by directors in Hong Kong are occasionally sold, they are no longer mainstream. Moreover, due to excessive shoddy production and the sentiment of selling Hong Kong films, this situation has become worse and worse.
In the past, any sequel to an old Hong Kong film can be released and made a fortune, but the reputation is very bad.
It’s nothing once or twice, but with too many times, the audience is not so easy to fool. So, now it has been caused by the fact that as long as the movie is a sequel to an old Hong Kong film, in the eyes of the audience, there is a first impression, that is, a bad movie!
And the other directors are not ordinary people. Although the story of "Dark War" is just a story script, they can't help but look forward to it a little more.
Why? Because even in "Dark War", they were very moved.
It’s not about how high the box office potential this movie can have, but the story is really interesting and exciting.
And it has a very Hong Kong movie flavor.
As expected, he is worthy of being the famous Golden Sword Master. At this moment, at least Cao Meng was completely convinced by Wang Yifan's screenwriter skills.
Don’t think that writing a Hong Kong-style script is so easy to write. It’s okay to write it well, let alone write new ideas, which is even more rare.
"Director Wang, "Daughter War", what a "Daughter War". I'll take this book!" Cao Meng was still sensible.
He was talking about this book, and I took it, not because I wanted it. The two have completely different meanings.
Of course, this is normal. After all, Wang Yifan is not short of money, and Huaxin is not short of directors. Why did he come up with such a book that makes people think it is a good story at first glance? It is naturally purposeful.
Cao Meng also knew this, so he said that I took the book instead of asking for it.
The meaning is very obvious. This project is considered to be Huaxin. Or, depending on Wang Yifan's own arrangement, Cao Meng took over the position of the director of this film.
As for investment, it is naturally left to Huaxin to argue with Times Light and Shadow.
He also believed that even if Wang Yifan came up with the script, he would definitely not be able to eat alone. After all, eating alone is hard to gain weight, and he offended all the giants in one go. Obviously, it is not a good thing for Huaxin. Cooperation and competition coexist is the norm.
With Cao Meng, the pearls and jade in front, the other directors' minds became more and more active.
Wang Yifan was indeed prepared for a long time. The script of "Dark War" was obviously specially prepared for Cao Meng. Of course, in fact, He Jun was also interested in this story, but he was very sensible and did not start a fight, because this book obviously had a Hong Kong film style, and Cao Meng was obviously better at this than himself.
Moreover, since Wang Yifan brought them over, he would definitely not favor one or the other, so although he was looking forward to it, he was not so anxious.
"Director Wang, where is mine?" Chen Hang asked with a smile first.
The others couldn't help but be a little surprised, but then they all laughed. In fact, they were not in the same mood as Chen Hang at this moment?
For a director, a good script is really important.
Script, script, the book of a play.
Perhaps many people will say, why is the status of screenwriters so low?
Why are so many innovative stories in Hollywood put on the shelves?
Those scripts that are left behind are not bad, but because the scripts are good, they may not be able to be adopted, because many projects often involve hundreds of millions of costs.
Then the script is good, but the effect may not be good.
But on the other hand, it depends on who wrote the script.
Successful people will always succeed.
Because the script was written by Wang Yifan, it seems so important.
There are also many good stories and scripts in China, but why do many directors still say that they lack a good story?
Because a good story may not necessarily mean that it can be sold.
In addition, even if a story of an ordinary screenwriter is a good story, many times, unless it is really amazing, it will be difficult to impress investors.
On the other hand, if the story is really amazing, how could this screenwriter remain unknown?
This itself shows that your story is not amazing enough.
But on the other hand, if a famous screenwriter or director takes a good story to invest, it is completely different.
However, at the level of Wang Yifan and Chen Hang, there is no need to worry about investment, so what is lacking is good stories. Some good stories may not be suitable for making movies, but some good stories are what the director dreams of.
Science fiction movies, in many cases, mean big productions and big investments, so there is no doubt about the importance of scripts.
For science fiction movies, it has always been very difficult to shoot, and the market is not clear.
Why did Chen Hang give up science fiction movies and direct other types of movies?
On the one hand, it was certainly because of ambition and being kidnapped by the market, but on the other hand, it was also because of the lack of scripts that made him shine.
Wang Yifan was naturally prepared and took out a script and handed it to Chen Hangdao: "I actually wanted to shoot this story myself, but since Director Chen is here, let me show you first. If you are interested, you can also give it to you."
Wang Yifan is telling the truth, and he himself likes this story very much.
And speaking of it, the difficulty of filming this story is not that great. It is a soft science fiction story, without gunfights, actions, etc., but a drama science fiction movie.
But this story is absolutely wonderful enough and excellent enough!
After hearing this, Chen Hang couldn't help but look forward to it more and more, while the others were also curious.
