Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

Du Wen handed a manuscript to Li Wei, and Li Wei planned to read it after going back.After the two finished today's publicity announcement, they went home separately.After Li Wei got home, he soaked in the bathtub to relax, while reading Du Wen's script for himself.Like the general process, Li Wei is currently only given a brief introduction to the written script, and the full version of the written script will only be obtained after Li Wei confirms that he will take over the role and signs a non-disclosure agreement.This is still the treatment of the leading role. If it is only a supporting role, then the script will not be so complete.

The title of the script is "The Real World", and the production company is Du Wen's own production company, Wenyi Film Production Company.It seems that the rumors that Du Wen couldn't find a production company to invest in are not groundless. Otherwise, with Du Wen's popularity, why would he need to set up his own production company to raise money?

Li Wei shook his head, driving the producer's mentality out of his heart.He looked at the script slowly. In terms of plot classification, this is a science fiction, drama, and comedy movie.Although it is a comedy, it is Du Wen's favorite satirical comedy, which is a complete mockery of TV programs and current variety entertainment.

According to Du Wen's setting, one day in the future, the last program that the whole earth welcomes is the 25-year-old reality show "Real World".The popularity of this reality show series is because it is "real" reality show.Zhen Shi, the protagonist of the reality show, was adopted by the TV station since she was a child, and then placed in a super large studio.Zhen Shi has never left the studio since the day she was adopted.

And sadly, he actually thinks this studio is the real world.Zhen Shi lives happily in this "real world", and everyone except him is an extra arranged by the TV station.Even Zhen Zhen's mother who died of cancer, her father who went fishing and went missing, and his first love, which he gave all the first time but failed to keep her, were all pretended by extras.And in the island town that Zhen Shi thought, there are monitors everywhere, and the real story of Zhen Shi is broadcast live 24 hours a day.

And all those who tried to reveal this secret to Zhen Shi were secretly sent away by the TV station, such as Zhen Shi's first love.This is a very thought-provoking setting. When was human being exposed to other people of the same kind so without dignity?And when did human beings become shameless enough to regard voyeurism as a legitimate entertainment?

And just when Li Wei, as a reader, was feeling desperate for the plot, Zhen Shi's first love actually came up with the idea of ​​saving Zhen Shi.She changed her makeup, forged her new identity, and was once again one of the new extras on the reality show "The Real World."

Entering the show for the second time, Zhen Shi's first love has more experience, she used many opportunities to hint that Zhen Shi's relationship with this world is not true, but even if she was kicked out of the show again, Zhen Shi never doubted the show .Until one day, a ceiling light in the studio fell, but was interpreted by the town government controlled by the program group as the wreckage of the plane accident, which made Zhen Shi feel that something was wrong.

So Zhen Shi planned to go to sea to see, but in order to prevent Zhen Shi from discovering the truth, the program team created a storm to force Zhen Shi back.At the same time, the members of the program team believed that Zhen Zhen lacked a sense of family stability and had doubts, so the program team came up with a trick, and they resurrected the father who was originally "died in a shipwreck".The setting given by the program group is that Zhen Shi's father survived the shipwreck, but wandered for a long time because of amnesia.Recently, he regained his memory, so he was sent back to the town by the government, so Zhen Shi has his own family again.

However, the program crew did not expect that Zhenshi actually had doubts about this place under the hint of his first love, and the sudden appearance of his father intensified Zhenshi's suspicion.The most important thing is that Zhen Shi's father already has real father-son affection for Zhen Shi, and he is no longer willing to let his de facto adopted son continue to live in such a daze.So he took the opportunity to slowly explain everything to Zhen Shi, and told him that the so-called end of the sea is the exit from the studio that imprisoned him.

This time, Zhen Shi once again mustered up the courage to take a boat and prepare to leave the studio.The crazy producer frantically created all kinds of disaster weather at sea in order to keep Zhen Shi in this studio.In the end, the TV station conducted a nationwide survey. With the support of the audience, the producer was dismissed from his post, all the shipwreck weather was relieved, and Zhen Shi was able to leave.

The script stopped abruptly when Zhen Shi left the studio, leaving many open endings for the audience to guess.Although Li Wei has not seen the complete script, he has to admire Du Wen's script ability.In terms of the integrity of the story, the whole script has no real beginning and end, as if a dream suddenly implanted in your mind.But it is this feeling of implanting a dream that makes the audience of the movie feel immersive, because you will not be afraid when you know it is a dream, and when you find that everything you have is a dream, that moment is right for you. The impact on your mind is undoubtedly huge.This is what Du Wen wanted, to suggest dreams through movies.

Most importantly, since the movie did not give the end of the story, the critical irony of the movie has been strengthened a lot.After all, as a real person who has lived in the false world for decades, his way back to the real world may not be that simple.

"Director Du? I accepted the script, and I hope I can play the leading role, and Kylin Films is willing to invest in your movie. I don't know if you have time, but let's take the time to chat about cooperation." Li Wei did not delay, and contacted Du Wen directly after reading the script, "Don't worry, whether I play the leading role has nothing to do with whether I invest in this movie. Whether I star in this movie or not, I will invest in your movie." Movies. As for the details, we will talk tomorrow."

The next day, Li Wei drove to a small noodle restaurant, which is where Du Wen agreed to meet.Du Wen's mouth is considered the most tricky in the entertainment industry. He doesn't say that he wants to eat the most expensive, but only that he wants to eat the best.According to Du Wen, this noodle shop has been open for more than two hundred years, and it is an authentic time-honored brand.It's just that the owner of this noodle shop is too lazy to serve ordinary people, so he doesn't want to make a name for himself. If it wasn't for someone's introduction, Du Wen wouldn't know that this noodle shop is so delicious.

The noodle soup is boiled with high-quality beef bones for three days and three nights, with fresh chopped green onion and minced ginger, then authentic hand-brewed soy sauce, mature vinegar and home-made chili oil, and finally throw in a few sansho peppers and a few A section of parsley becomes noodle soup.And the noodles are pulled by the chef on the spot after the order is placed. There are six kinds of width of the noodles. The widest one is called tape noodles, and the narrowest one is called longxu noodles, depending on personal preference.Du Wen ordered the second thinnest catkins, and Li Wei ordered the third thinnest willow leaves.After the noodles are drawn, roll them in boiling water, then stir them in ice water, and finally throw them into the noodle soup to absorb the juice.

The noodles here are only beef, fried eggs and kimchi, Li Wei naturally wants them all, but Du Wen only needs beef and kimchi.The two first ate the noodles in awe, and Li Wei had to admit that this noodle shop was really unusual.

After the two had a full meal, they began to chat about the investment in the "Real World" movie with the barley tea provided by the boss.

"Kylin Films can afford the investment of the entire film, but the only requirement is that the copyright of this film belongs to us." Li Wei knows that there is a film called "The Truman Show" on the earth in parallel time and space, which is also well received. And the same movie is very likely to be successful on the earth and star plane.

Li Wei doesn't care whether the movie will lose money, what he cares about is the trophy.As a wealthy film company, it would be impossible without a few trophies that could be sold.Why are MGM and United Artists down and out like that, and they are still considered Hollywood giants?It's not that they have accumulated too many trophies, so many that the younger companies have to respect them.The same is true for Kylin Films. If a new company wants to become famous quickly, it needs trophies.Miramax and DreamWorks are all following this path, and Kirin is no exception.

For film companies, once word-of-mouth is established, there will be no shortage of funds, directors, screenwriters, and actors.So Li Wei is willing to invest in Du Wen, only hoping to win trophies with this movie.

After Du Wen heard Li Wei's promise, he thought for a while, and finally said: "I understand what you mean, it seems that you are very optimistic about the awards of this movie. Well, the copyright of this movie belongs to you. We will share the derivative copyright equally, but the sequel copyright still belongs to me." Du Wen also set out his own conditions.In fact, he is also betting on the reputation of this movie, because only a movie with a good reputation has a chance to be sold on the TV network and made into a DVD.

"There is no problem with the copyright of the sequel being yours, but the derivative copyright needs to be further subdivided." Li Wei is not a vegetarian either, "We will share the copyright of the TV network and surrounding areas equally; the copyright of the DVD and the Internet will belong to us Kirin. You know, we Kylin has an online video website, and we are building and expanding our copyright library, so it is impossible for us to sell our own online copyright.”

Li Wei is very clear that the copyright of the TV network in the future will not be sold for much, and the on-demand rights of the cable channels are bundled with the theater copyright according to the standard contract, so it is also in his own hands.It's not that Li Wei pitted Du Wen, after all, the company that invested the money is his own company, so he has to do his best to ensure the return of the capital, right?So Li Wei naturally wants to acquire the copyrights of several valuable channels.

Du Wen has a strange personality. If he thinks you are good, then everything is good for you; if he thinks you are bad, then everything is bad for you.Du Wen already admired Li Wei quite a lot, and Li Wei was willing to pay him to make a movie, so it doesn't make sense for him to pester so much.When people invest money in themselves, they naturally hope to make money back, so they should also want the copyright of valuable channels.

Thinking of this, Du Wen nodded with a smile, "Forget it, I won't argue anymore, just do as you said."

After negotiating with Du Wen, Li Wei called the company's legal department to start follow-up.After the contract between the two parties is signed, Kylin Film Production Company will intervene as the main production company of this film, and the original Wenhua Film Production Company will be reduced to assist in the production.After all, Wenhua Film Producer didn't pay for it, so the name of a co-producer is a bit too vain.

The contract was signed within a few days, and after Du Wen received the payment for the production, he called Li Wei, "I will set up the crew in a few days, and you can arrange for your agent to come and talk Sign the interview contract and non-disclosure agreement, and then we will find time to audition."

Naturally, there was nothing wrong with Li Wei. He immediately notified Peng Duoli to go to Du Wen to sign the relevant agreement, and then brought back the complete written script.

After Li Wei got the script, he began to study it carefully and try to figure out the role.
