The wealthy boss Guo (second update)

As he said when he was interrupted by his uncle, the first few movies suffered continuous losses. After analysis by the company team, it was judged that the problem still lay in the script.

Because Guo Yunchen studied in Europe and the United States, he first watched several Shakespeare classics at the Royal Theater in the UK.

Compared to Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet, which are famous and tragic operas, he prefers the comedy-style A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Merchant of Venice.

He still likes opera, but he can't be called a fanatic.

Until he arrived on Broadway in the United States——

Gypsy, The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady... He can name more than twenty plays in one go without repeating them!

He lived on Broadway for half a year. At that time, Guo Yunchen watched all the popular Broadway plays more than once, and it was also the first time that he learned the concept of musicals.

Then, obsessed with Broadway, he was dragged by his friends to watch the newly released musical "Love in the Rain" - the cheerful music, lively dance, and the gorgeous costumes of the actors made him dazzled.

, I got out of hand and became completely obsessed with American musicals!

Love in the Rain, A Star Is Born, The King and I, Guys and Dolls...he cherishes every one of them!

After returning to China, he determined to make a Chinese musical film!

However, he overlooked a very important point: American musicals were actually developed on the basis of Broadway musicals. Many musicals directly used popular Broadway plays.

There are also many Broadway musical actors who are good at singing and dancing and have become extras in musicals. This is the basis for those shocking group singing and dancing scenes in American musicals.

After being transplanted to China, it was more difficult to find actors who were good at singing and dancing. Without a group of background actors who sang and danced in unison, the charm of the musical was instantly reduced by more than half!

In addition, pop music had just emerged, and the old-school middle class preferred Chinese quintessence Peking opera or other opera-type performances. This resulted in his musicals never being able to compete with the Pei brothers' Huangmei-diao films.

Three consecutive scripts for standard American musicals failed to produce the desired effect, which made him think. Maybe giving up the musical model and focusing on the story itself would be more attractive to the audience and bring them into the theater?

The last time Guo Yunchen reviewed the script of Eryou in Red Mansions, it was a brand new attempt: it did not use Huangmei tune, nor did it use the model of musicals. It was just an ordinary vernacular movie. It is now the company's most important shooting project.

Originally, Senior Brother Chen's London Beauty was also a good candidate for adaptation, but unfortunately——

At the same time, he offered a high reward and solicited high-quality scripts from all over Hong Kong, hoping to collect some wonderful works.

"Master Chen, we've arrived at the company."

Guo Yunchen opened his eyes and saw that Uncle Rong had stopped the car. Several young assistants were already waiting in front of the office building. As soon as the car stopped, someone came forward to open the door for him.

Guo Yunchen handed the briefcase to one of the assistants and asked casually: "How many scripts have you received?"

The assistant held his briefcase and couldn't hide his excitement: "One hundred and fifty-six letters! This is just this morning!"

Hearing this number, Guo Yunchen also cheered up, "Let's go! Let's go to the conference room!"

Surrounded by several assistants in neat suits, Guo Yunchen arrived in the small conference room. On the long table in the middle of the conference room, there was a mountain of letters piled up.

Guo Yunchen sat down on the main seat without hesitation and ordered: "Let's start according to yesterday's division of labor!"

Three assistants, plus him, a total of four people, formed an assembly line and came out:

An assistant is responsible for opening the letter and briefly reading it. If the sentence does not make sense, it will be screened out directly;

The scripts that have passed the preliminary selection will be sent to Guo Yunchen. He will take a rough look at them and then subdivide the scripts into those that can be used, those that can be improved, and those that are useless.

He has no delusion about selecting a unique script in one go. As long as there are one or two scripts that can be used with slight modifications, Guo Yunchen is already thankful.

After grading, the script goes to the next assistant. His work is mainly for the second grade, those who can improve.

He is responsible for writing revision opinions and words of encouragement. After all, today's saplings are likely to be tomorrow's towering trees. Investing in advance and only needing a few lines of words is still very cost-effective.

The last assistant's main job is to reply to letters, and the replies are divided into two categories: the first category is to inform the authors of the scripts that have been classified into the first level that the scripts have been initially drafted and whether they will be adopted, please wait for follow-up notifications.

The second type is to mail back the modification comments that can improve the script and register them in the book to see if there will be real improvements in the future.

This is what Guo Yunchen means. Even if the draft is never completed, as long as the other party has a desire to make progress, Rongchang will always keep in touch with the other party.

The three assistants were all hired by Guo Yunchen with high salaries. They are top students who graduated from the Chinese Department of the University of Hong Kong. They can handle these simple writing tasks with ease.

In the entire process, Guo Yunchen was the one with the largest backlog.

He always couldn't bear to pass the manuscripts that the author had put a lot of effort into, so he just passed them. He would read a few more pages of each script except for the beginning, which took a lot of time.

Assistant No. 1 suddenly called out: "Boss, there is a letter here. It's quite interesting. It even has a new stamped envelope stuffed inside it!"

Several assistants laughed at the same time. Does this person think that Rongchang Pictures is so poor that he can't even afford a reply envelope?

Guo Yunchen raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand, "Show me."

Assistant No. 1 did not dare to delay and handed the letter to him as soon as possible.

Guo Yunchen glanced at the envelope mentioned by his assistant and saw that the recipient address was neatly written on it, and he immediately felt very fond of it.

He took out the letter paper and took a look at it. The person who wrote the letter directly stated at the beginning of the letter that it was my first time writing, so please bear with me.

Guo Yunchen's good impression grew again.

The story of wonton shop?

Guo Yunchen has never been to a wonton shop in his whole life. Even if he doesn't eat at home or go out to socialize, he always goes to well-known hotels and high-end sales outlets.

He had never been to such a small shop like a roadside stall.

Guo Yunchen suddenly became interested and read on at a glance——

Brother Fugui? Is there really someone who would call you such a vulgar name?

His eldest uncle, Zhenye, is known as Zhenye. Privately, the younger members of the family feel that he is very uncouth.

Moving bricks at the wharf, working in the factory, and selling flawless clothes, Brother Fugui finally had the confidence to shout "add noodles and add base," and Guo Yunchen watched with relish.

Then there is Atub. The electronic scale mentioned in the story was often seen when he was in the United States. What he said in the article is very reliable.

From this perspective, this story about a wonton shop is more like a realistic piece of news.

Guo Yunchen soon saw the last customer, drinking coffee at the wonton shop?

It was a little hard for him to imagine this scene. It seemed that the third guest was made up by the author.

Well, our male protagonist, female protagonist and male supporting actor are all players who focus on their careers.
