21 [The name of the genius]
Although Ye Jin only wrote the beginning of the script "Myth", which is less than one-sixth of the total plot, the content is already very rich. It covers many elements such as time travel, science fiction, history, action, love, etc., with wonderful ideas and wonderful things.
After reading it, Wu Siyuan couldn't help but admire it, "A Jin, you wrote this script very well."
"Thank you Director Wu for the praise." Ye Jin nodded and smiled.
"Well, you can write it well, and after you finish writing, you will leave it to me." Wu Siyuan smiled again, "If it is appropriate, I will definitely buy it."
"Okay, Director Wu." Ye Jin nodded with a smile.
Seeing that Ye Jin's script was recognized by Wu Siyuan and had to pay for it to buy it, everyone present couldn't help but envy him.
In the Xiangjiang film industry, the status of excellent screenwriters is very high. Ni Geng, who wrote excellent scripts such as "One-Armed Knife", "Jingwumen", "Stirring Horse", and "Big Pirate", and even Xiao's boss Xiao Runze, Jia and his boss Zou Wenhuai are regarded as guests of honor.
Before Jackie Chan became famous, he asked Gu Long, a famous Taiwanese writer, to help write the script. He drank and vomited, but he still failed to impress Gu Long. Gu Long said bluntly that his script was handed over to Di Long, and David Jiang made Jackie Chan hide in the toilet and cry in aggrieved manner.
Although Ye Jin has not reached the status of Ni Geng and Gu Long, it is already amazing that he can write an excellent script and gain the respect of millions of director Wu Siyuan.
After all, he is only twenty years old this year, and he is in full swing, and has a bright future. No one dares to assert that his future achievements are not as good as Ni Geng and Gu Long.
Therefore, in the following time, Ye Jin's status in the crew was significantly improved. People greeted him enthusiastically when they saw him; some people handed him over the lunch box, but he didn't need to take it in person; every time after filming, someone took the initiative to serve tea and towels, which was treated like a big-name star.
...
In a blink of an eye, "The Hungry Tiger and the Dragon" has been filmed for a week.
Ye Jin's performance made Wu Siyuan very satisfied. Not only did he play wonderful martial arts, but his acting skills were also very good. He performed well in several literary scenes, with fluent lines and natural expressions. It was obvious that he had done a lot of homework.
Wu Siyuan naturally had nothing to say about such an actor who was willing to work hard.
In comparison, he was more resentful towards Chen Xing. "The Hungry Tiger and the Dragon" has been filmed for a week, but Chen Xing still did not come to the crew to report it.
As far as Wu Siyuan knows, the "Tangrenke" of Far East Pictures, which he took on before, has been completed. However, in order to make more money, he actually took on "Black Panther" invested by Taiwan No. 1 Pictures.
In this way, at least one or two weeks won’t come to the crew to report. It’s really infuriating to play so frequently.
The key is that Chen Xing, as the starring actor, still has many scenes. Although Wu Siyuan has tried his best to play, in a few days, the scenes of others will be basically completed.
At that time, if Chen Xing doesn't come back, the entire crew will be forced to stop filming again. And the trouble is that even the method of [replace filming] will not work this time.
"Chen Xing, please don't make excuses for me and come over to film immediately. Otherwise, I'll send someone to tie you up." Wu Siyuan shouted loudly on the phone, then hung up the phone with a bang.
"Director Wu, don't be angry. It's not worth it if you get angry." Ye Jin saw that his face turned blue and his veins jumped up on his neck, and he hurried forward to persuade him.
"If I cooperate with him next time, I will be a donkey!" Wu Siyuan cursed viciously.
"Director Wu, please calm down." Ye Jin advised, "I just finished writing the script, why don't you see if it's suitable?"
"Okay." Wu Siyuan nodded.
He only read the beginning of the script and found it very exciting and wanted to know the story below.
...
Ye Jin immediately handed the script to Wu Siyuan.
After Wu Siyuan took it, he looked carefully.
When he saw Jack, William and others enter the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang at the end, he was shocked.
A huge palace floating in the air, two immortals who have lived for thousands of years... What a magnificent imagination. Wu Siyuan felt that even if he was dreaming, he could not think of such an imaginative plot.
When Princess Yu Shu finally decided to stay in the imperial tomb and continue to wait for her lover for a thousand years and ten thousand years, even Wu Siyuan, who had always been strong, couldn't help but cry.
"A Jin, your script is so great." After reading it, Wu Siyuan wiped his tears and sighed.
"Thank you Director Wu for the praise." Ye Jin nodded with a smile.
"But then again, I dare not ask for this script." Wu Siyuan smiled again, "Good guy, it's a war, a palace, and a foreign filming. The cost must be ridiculously high. Even if I film ten more "Dangkok Beach", I will not earn enough of its start-up capital."
In this script, the middle battlefield scene was killed more than a thousand people and corpses were everywhere. Just asking extras to just ask for war scenes like ordinary Hong Kong films and only invite dozens of martial artists to show off, the tragedy of the war will not be shown at all, nor will it highlight Meng Yi's extraordinary courage.
Not to mention the last Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, the palace floating in the sky, is such a magnificent picture. If all of them are replaced with fake sets, then the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang would seem too shabby.
Even if you can only shoot it simply because of the bad things, it will show a slim spirit and it is impossible to achieve a box office. So the script is good, but it is really not practical.
Ye Jin had long expected Wu Siyuan to say this. It was precisely because "Myth" was difficult to shoot that he deliberately wrote it. If it were easy to shoot, he would have stopped writing it long ago.
But he still pretended to be disappointed.
"But don't be discouraged. Judging from this script, you still have great potential." Seeing this, Wu Siyuan quickly comforted him, "In the future, you can write more kung fu. This type of script is now popular. Try to write it. If it's good, I will definitely buy it."
Ye Jin is only twenty years old, and he can perfectly integrate the themes of action, love, history, war, etc. It is really amazing and worth cultivating.
"I understand, Director Wu." Ye Jin nodded.
Although he now has Kung Fu theme scripts such as "Snake Shame Hand", "Drunk Fist", "Junior Brother Comes Out", and "Miscellaneous Boy", he does not want to sell them to Wu Siyuan for the time being.
The reason is very simple. He is now a little slight and has no fame. If he comes up with these scripts, it is probably not his turn to act, and he will be a waste of money from outsiders.
So he has to at least wait until he becomes famous and is qualified to be the leading actor before he can bring out the scripts that he uses.
Before this, he would continue to create movie scripts that are expensive to produce and are not suitable for filming for the time being. He had already thought about the next script, which was "Kung Fu" produced and launched by Zhou Xingchi in 2004.
One of the highlights of "Kung Fu" is to use computer special effects to perfectly restore those magical skills. Lion Roar, Tai Chi, Toad Kung Fu, Sound Wave Kung, Tathagata Divine Palm... Without the blessing of these special effects, the excitement of "Kung Fu" will be greatly reduced.
