Chapter 671 Modify the script
Yang Ming read the script handed over by Wang Qidong and immediately made the decision not to approve of him filming the film.
Wang Qidong's expression changed when he heard this, but he had no other ideas. He just didn't expect that the script he was so optimistic about would be rejected by Yang Ming, but he also knew that he was weak in movies.
Even because of Yang Ming's reputation as a genius in the film industry, and the fact that almost all the scripts Yang Ming produced were big hits, Wang Qidong also had a certain superstition about Yang Ming's vision in reading scripts.
Although he has almost reached the pinnacle in the TV drama industry over the years, in the movie industry, he really doesn't have many works that he can be proud of.
In less than two years since Yang Ming started working in movies, he has made three blockbuster movies, which is something that Wang Qidong cannot match.
"Mr. Ming, are there any problems with this script?" Wang Qidong saw Yang Ming's solemn look and couldn't help but ask in a respectful tone. It seems that his script definitely has problems in those aspects.
Based on his understanding of Yang Ming, he knew that this young man never took matters into his own hands. Seeing the serious look on his face, he must have seen something very wrong.
Yang Ming rubbed his eyebrows, put down the script, and lightly touched the script with his fingers.
There is no doubt that Wang Qidong is an excellent director, otherwise he would not have achieved such a big reputation in the TV drama circle. However, his talent in movies is somewhat unsatisfactory, even compared to his talent in TV dramas.
Compared with his achievements, Wang Qidong's talent in film is simply not worth mentioning.
He also couldn't understand why the gap between Wang Qidong's performances on different screens was so big.
It seems that the long period of filming the TV series has solidified his thinking.
As for the script he has come up with now, it is a typical movie that reflects the life of ordinary Chinese people. The script cannot be said to be poorly written, but it is not suitable for making a movie because the pace is too slow and all kinds of conflicts will not break out until later stages.
This is a big no-no for movies.
A movie is a condensed life, and it is a life with constant conflicts and climaxes.
A slow-paced script like boiling a frog in warm water is really not suitable for filming a movie.
Well, it would be good to make it into a TV series.
After Yang Ming carefully explained his analysis and views to Wang Qidong, Wang Qidong suddenly realized it, but his expression became quite lonely. It seemed that he really had no talent in movies.
"Hey, it seems like I'm really not good enough to be on the big screen." Wang Qidong sighed with a complicated expression.
When Yang Ming saw Wang Qidong like this, he couldn't help but advise: "Director Wang, don't say that. In fact, if you change this script, it can still be made into a movie!"
"Ah? It can still be changed? It's okay, Mr. Ming, you can change it, even if it changes completely, I don't care." Wang Qidong said anxiously as if he had grasped the last straw to save his life.
"Okay! Then I'll help you correct it now!" Yang Ming originally wanted to say that I would go back to correct it in the evening and ask Wang Qidong to come back and pick it up in two days. But when he saw Wang Qidong's expectant and anxious look, he
I can't help but start revising it now.
He looked at the script in front of him, frowning, thinking about how to modify the script, while Wang Qidong stayed aside quietly, looking at Yang Ming expectantly, and even made a reservation for Yang Ming himself in order to allow Yang Ming to modify the script with peace of mind.
A cup of tea.
The script written by Wang Qidong is mainly a story with a third party as the theme. The story is not very creative, but infidelity and the third party itself are the focus issues of the current society, so there is not much problem in the selection of the material.
It's just that in Yang Ming's impression, there seems to be no movie about a third party among the countless classics in the past.
Or even if there is, he won't look at it.
After all, if you spend money to enter a theater, who would go there and watch a slow-paced movie about a third party?
Unless there are a lot of scenes in the movie, few viewers will go to see this kind of movie.
Yang Ming frowned tightly, thinking about how to modify the script. The theme of the third party alone was not enough to attract the audience to watch the movie.
It's better to have something exciting.
In this script written by Wang Qidong, the way a woman discovers that a man has a third party is very old-fashioned. First, she discovers suspicious things such as the smell of perfume on the man, long hair, etc., and then reveals it by catching the rape on the spot.
It's too tacky. Not to mention the audience, even Yang Ming feels extremely tired after watching it now. It's too cliche.
This method definitely cannot be used. In this case, how can a woman suspect that a man has a mistress outside?
When Yang Ming thought of this, he couldn't help but raise his head and think about it. The pen in his hand was tapping the script unconsciously, and his mind kept thinking about whether there was a similar plot in his previous life.
Just when he was lost in thought, a rapid ringtone suddenly rang in the quiet office, startling Yang Ming and Wang Qidong.
Yang Ming quickly picked up the phone, saw that it was Barber and answered the call: "Hello, Mr. Barber."
"Haha, Yang, I have found a suitable director for "Rescue" and it is estimated that filming will start soon. How about it? Are you free to come to the United States to participate in the promotion ceremony?" Barber's hearty voice came over the phone.
come out.
"I guess I don't have time to go there. You know the crew of "2012" can't do without me." Yang Ming said helplessly.
He felt that Barber's tone of voice was much more relaxed than before. It seemed that the two movies "Die Hard" and "Taken" started filming one after another, which relieved Barber a lot of pressure.
"That's a pity." Barber said a little disappointed, but then he continued in a somewhat unpredictable voice: "Yang, you have to be careful about David Burton. He is definitely a director genius, especially
It’s about science fiction movies.”
Yang Ming was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you familiar with this guy? Zhonghuang Entertainment and Pan American Entertainment are doing this drama. I feel like they are doing it for my "2012"!"
"Ahem!" Barber coughed twice, feeling indescribably awkward, "I arranged for the production and distribution of David's first film!"
--puff!
When Yang Ming heard Barber's words, he almost blurted out, Damn it, it turns out that the great Hollywood director who is being praised by the Chinese media was actually discovered by the general manager of Oriental DreamWorks.
Later, Barbour told Yang Ming a lot about his evaluation of David Burton.
David Burton is undoubtedly a talented director. This is recognized. The various box office records he has broken in Hollywood can prove it. However, after he once again failed to win the Academy Award for Best Director last year, his whole person became
Something is different.
He became a little arrogant, a little arrogant, and could not tolerate the slightest objection from others. Even Barber, who had single-handedly dug him out, was not taken seriously by him.
Originally, according to Barber's intention, he was going to suppress David Burton's momentum, but who would have thought that he would suddenly be purged by Pan American Entertainment. Now David Burton is assigned by Coakley to take on the important task of blocking the Eastern Dream.

The person who came here is not kind!
