Chapter 17 Agreed
Hearing the middle-aged middle-aged voice, Zheng Rongxuan was slightly stunned. The most important thing was that he had some vague impression of this man who claimed to be Guo Zairong. After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately knew who this guy was.
I'm going to go, isn't this guy the director of "My Savage Girlfriend" in his previous life? He's actually looking for himself?
Among the dozens of phone calls today, one of them actually claimed to be director Guo Zairong's assistant, but unfortunately he didn't believe it at all. As soon as he said this, he immediately hung up.
"Then what, are you really a director? You weren't a reporter fooling me, right?" Zheng Rongxuan felt a little embarrassed, and at the same time he had a little expectation.
"Of course not. I am Guo Zairong himself. If you don't have any convenience, let's find some time to sit down and talk about the script?"
"Okay, as long as I don't have class time or Saturday, I usually have time, but I'm still writing novels, so sometimes when inspiration comes, I don't want to go out. It's best to be near Dongguo University. You can come here when you have time." Zheng Rongxuan didn't feel anything wrong with making an appointment near Dongguo University.
I am a foreign student and have only been in South Korea for more than three months. Can you still expect how familiar you are to Seoul? Although I am indeed very familiar with Seoul, others don’t know.
"Okay, I will get there at around 11:30 noon tomorrow and call you. I wish us a happy cooperation!"
"Yes, see you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Rongxuan quickly searched Guo Zairong's information in his head and found that this guy looked really average, but the director didn't have to look too good, and he didn't have to show his face in front of the camera. As long as the movie he made was good, it would be fine.
I just sat in front of the computer to update a chapter, and then prepared to continue typing. My phone rang again, but this time it was a familiar number, and I picked it up with a smile.
"Don't you have to go to school tomorrow? You won't sleep so late!"
"OPPA, is your novel really going to be made into a movie? I read today's newspaper, and it's all written on it."
"Maybe, but I haven't agreed yet, I will meet the director tomorrow."
"So that's the case, OPPA is going to become a big screenwriter?" Jung Soo-yeon on the other end of the phone was obviously a little surprised.
"If it goes well, yes, how do you want any gift?"
"OPPA, I want to eat Lindt's chocolate! OPPA, I want to eat Haagen-Dazs!" Almost instantly, the voices of the two sisters came over, making Zheng Rongxuan feel a little cola.
"Xiujing, aren't you afraid of diarrhea when eating Haagen-Dazs in the middle of winter?"
"I'm not afraid, I'm going to eat it, and my mother doesn't buy it for me."
"Well, I'll bring it to you when I go on weekends."
After chatting with the sisters for more than ten minutes, the aunt who broke into their room snatched the phone. After chatting with each other for a few words, Zheng Rongxuan hung up the phone. It turned out that the two little guys were secretly hiding in the room and calling.
Compared with his previous life, Zheng Rongxuan ran to his grandmother's house more diligently in this life. Although he just wanted to comfort his grandmother's heart, his relationship with his two cousins was also good. Even the two little cousins admired this cousin who could study in Korea. Their Korean language was not as fluent as Zheng Rongxuan, especially last weekend, after knowing that Zheng Rongxuan had sold hundreds of thousands of novels, the two of them changed from admiration to admiration.
At noon the next day, after Zheng Rongxuan got off get out of class, he came to a cafe outside the school as promised. In a corner, he saw a middle-aged man visiting the photo and walked over.
"Director Guo has made you wait for a long time! I am Zheng Rongxuan!" When he got closer, Zheng Rongxuan bowed slightly to greet the other party, and then sat opposite him without hesitation.
"Student Zheng is really young and promising. He was able to create such a popular novel in his freshman year." Guo Zairong replied with a smile, signaling the waiter to come and order food for Zheng Rongxuan. After all, Zheng Rongxuan still has to attend class in the afternoon.
Looking at Guo Zairong in a black suit, Zheng Rongxuan smiled and said, "Director Guo is polite. I can guess what you mean. Are you sure you want to adapt my novel?"
Seeing Guo Zairong nodding, Zheng Rongxuan took out a thick piece of paper clipped from his backpack and handed it over and said, "Director Guo might as well take a look at this first. If you are satisfied, let's talk about it."
Guo Zairong looked down at him in surprise, and immediately looked up in surprise and said, "You have created the script yourself?"
Zheng Rongxuan smiled and shrugged, saying, "This is normal. At the same time I finished writing the novel, the script was also finished. Originally, I was just going for the movie, but I was attracted by a director."
Seeing Zheng Rongxuan's confident performance, Guo Zairong couldn't help but put away his contempt and looked through it carefully. As a result, it took more than an hour to see it. He slapped the table excitedly and smiled: "It's it, it's almost exactly what I thought. I finally believe that there is a genius saying it."
Zheng Rongxuan put down the coffee cup in his hand and smiled and said, "It's good if Director Guo is satisfied. I'm sorry, I'll eat first when I'm hungry. You can eat something as well."
Guo Zairong was fascinated by the sight just now, so Zheng Rongxuan couldn't wait, so he ate it after dinner. At this time, the food beside Guo Zairong was cold. After all, it was winter, and even with heating it wouldn't work.
"It's okay, I have dinner late in the morning. Since Mr. Zheng has even written the script, I must have other ideas? Do you mind telling me and let me listen?" Guo Zairong looked at the cold food beside him, and felt depressed. He was still hungry. Why was he fascinated just now?
Zheng Rongxuan was not polite to him. He was going to class later. He had to hurry up: "I specially looked for "Autumn Travel" and "Watercolors after the Rain" by Director Guo. I personally agree with your style, and this is a romantic love film. My requirement is that the cost does not need to be too small, and it must be shot perfectly, and the sensationality of a youth idol, the romantic feelings of a literary film, and the nonsense and funny styles of Hong Kong style."
"Although Director Guo goes to find a suitable production and distribution company, I ask that the script, theme song and part of the cash account for half of the investment, and the heroine must be Jun Ji-hyun, and the rest are decided by Director Guo. My suggestion for the male lead is Cha Tae-hyun. Of course, if Director Guo thinks it is not suitable, he can change it himself."
Guo Jae-rong frowned slightly. Zheng Rongxuan's requirements seemed not high, but in fact they were not low. He also had to think about it carefully. Jun Ji-hyun had some impression of him. Recently, there seemed to be a rumor, claiming that Zheng Rongxuan saw Jun Ji-hyun when he first entered school, so he created "My Savage Girlfriend".
Zheng Rongxuan dared to make such a request, in addition to the fact that he did not need to make a movie, he also found out that Guo Zairong had spent 8 years of lows, and "My Savage Girlfriend" was a work that he returned to the big screen and shone again. In the years after this, he even made one film and smashed another, almost ruining his brand.
"Are there any other requirements? For example, during filming or during post-production?" Although Guo Zairong thought that Zheng Rongxuan's conditions were a little harsh, he was not unacceptable. Anyway, Korean screenwriters have always been used to being strong. Although Zheng Rongxuan is a pink newcomer, he is still a screenwriter, not to mention that he will be one of the investors.
"Not at all. I don't usually appear on the shooting site. I may occasionally go and see it. You know I am still a student and it is impossible to take a long time off. So if you make sure, as long as the whole film does not deviate from my requirements, you have the final say in everything else."
You can't just want the horse to run away without giving it to the horse. Any director wants to have absolute autonomy. This is in Korea. If you put it in China, the director who dares to talk to you will not bother to pay attention to you and stay wherever you are cool.
After thinking for a while, Guo Zairong reached out and said, "That's all, I will come to sign a contract with you in two weeks at the latest."
Zheng Rongxuan shook hands with him with a smile, and agreed happily, "Don't have two weeks. The school will be on holiday this weekend, and I will return to China after that. If you are sure to take on this drama, just contact Jun Zhixian directly. I will sign a power of attorney for her."
