The actor he wrote by himself

Chapter 15 Selection of the script

……

What Huo Xiuchi was going to meet with in the afternoon was a film and television company called "Guochao".The company does not support actors or directors, but only screenwriters.The main business is the sale and adaptation of copyrights of literary works, and film and television.

This company has a good reputation in the industry, high-quality goods and hot styles coexist, and Huo Xiuchi has cooperated with them for many years.

In the coffee shop, Huo Xiuchi looked at Guan Che who was sitting beside him, wearing a mask tightly, and asked, "Why are you so nervous?"

Guan Che clutched his phone, looked around vigilantly, approached Huo Xiuchi, and said in a low voice, "Just tell me that I'm your assistant. I have a cold, so it's inconvenient to take off my mask and talk."

"why?"

"There are a lot of people outside, and this is a private itinerary in a public place. If I take off the mask and someone photographs you and me together, then your news will be enough for the heads of hundreds of marketing accounts to exert their skills. "

It's over, Huo Xiuchi thought, the words he said on the day of the starlight ceremony to get him into the RV quickly left an indelible shadow on the child's heart.

He probably thought that as long as he and Huo Xiuchi came out, someone would definitely take pictures.

"You all know that this is a non-public itinerary." Huo Xiuchi reassured, "Then why would the paparazzi know? You don't have to worry about passers-by. Although this is a public place, it will be a private place for the next two hours. "

Guan Che looked at him in surprise: "You reserved the venue?"

In the afternoon, it is the time when the coffee shop has the most traffic. This is another shop in the downtown area of ​​Yijing Second Ring Road. The per capita consumption is also quite high. How much does it cost for two hours...

"The other company hired it." Huo Xiuchi really wanted to touch him, "I asked them to talk about cooperation, but they don't book a venue, is it appropriate?"

Guan Che: I don't know if it's appropriate or not, I just know that the logic of your words is a bit weird.

While speaking, the people from Guochao had arrived.

Three of them came, the leader was wearing a decent suit, carrying a briefcase, and stretched out his hand to Huo Xiuchi: "Mr. Huo, hello."

The two following behind each carried a stack of documents, with computer bags on their backs.They bowed.

Huo Xiuchi reached out his hand and briefly shook hands with the man: "Mr. He, long time no see. You actually came here in person today."

"It's rare for Mr. Huo to take the time to meet us, so I don't have to come in person!"

Mr. He is the big boss of their company.

Guan Che had no way to contact these people.

He didn't know Mr. He, but Mr. He obviously knew him, and he also extended his hand to him: "This is Mr. Guan Che, right? We watch your latest variety show every week, and we have admired him for a long time."

Guan Che didn't know what kind of Jiu Yang he was, so he just listened to it as a courtesy: "Hello, Mr. He."

The five people took their seats and ordered, and Huo Xiuchi didn't exchange too many greetings, and said straight to the point: "Mr. He, time is tight, so let's save red tape. Let's get straight to the point."

"I asked you to come here this time for no other reason than to choose a script. I have already told you about the relevant requirements in advance." Huo Xiuchi leaned back a little and pointed at Guan Che, "I am going to meet Guan Che To collaborate on a film, the crew can be assembled as quickly as possible, and now there is only one good story left.”

"Understood." Mr. He stretched out his hand back, and one of the employees immediately handed over a folder, "We have sorted out the titles, introductions, and character designs of some scripts according to the way you read manuscripts. Now the script of the two male protagonists is very It's hot, and there are a lot of novels and scripts in this area, there are about [-] of them here. In fact, there are many more, which we have selected based on the two's appearance conditions and play paths."

Sixty books... Even Huo Xiuchi was a little surprised.

"The market likes it so much now?"

Mr. He nodded: "Yes, in the past few years, original danmei and doujin danmei have become very popular in the novel market, and the amount of topics has remained high. Several adaptations of two-male lead dramas have also exploded."

Holding the coffee cup, Mr. He added with a smile: "Aren't you and Mr. Liang Yi the hottest CPs now?"

Huo Xiuchi smiled mysteriously, and said something unclear: "It won't be soon."

Huo Xiuchi didn't waste any more time discussing the matter between himself and Liang Yi CP, he quickly opened the document, there were five script project introductions on one page, a total of twelve pages.

He took out the bottom six pages and handed them to Guan Che, and at the same time gave him a red pen: "Look at the back first, and if you encounter something that you don't think is suitable, just cross it first. After reading it, we will exchange it. Direct exclusion of the last two forks, re-discussion of one fork, and inclusion of nothing as the first option.”

Guan Che was very passive: "Oh, good."

——If he remembers correctly, he hasn't officially agreed to co-star in a movie with Huo Xiuchi yet.

Then why...the script was suddenly chosen?

However, Huo Xiuchi's act of exchanging reading scripts showed that he respected him very much, and he didn't even have the stance to criticize.

Guan Che thought for a while, playing with Huo Xiuchi, this is an opportunity he couldn't even ask for.

Therefore, the original result of this matter was that he would definitely agree to shoot, and he didn't have to stick to these details.

After figuring this out, he concentrated on reading the script.

The scripts selected by Guo Chao are very comprehensive, ranging from ancient to modern, urban to fantasy, and there are all kinds of scripts, and some of them are written by writers and screenwriters that Huo Xiuchi is a little familiar with.

—but he forked all six pages.

Guan Che looked a little more seriously, and Huo Xiuchi waited for a while.

During the exchange, he was quite embarrassed by the look on Guan Che's face, and he probably knew it in his heart.

Sure enough, among Guan Che's six pages, only three or four were not crossed.

Time passed by, the two of them didn't say a word, they just looked up occasionally to exchange glances.Mr. He's expression became more and more subtle, and the sweat on his forehead was about to come down.

After another 10 minutes, Huo Xiuchi suddenly coughed.

Mr. He and the other two were startled by the movement, and looked over quickly.

——Seeing that Guan Che's gaze was still on the document, his right hand had already reached out to gently stroke Huo Xiuchi's back, giving him comfort.

This……

So true!

So tasty!

Don't even dare to look more!

Huo Xiuchi closed the document, put it back on the table, leaned back on the sofa, folded his hands, and said to Guan Che, "Tell Mr. He and the others about the script."

The eyes of Mr. He and the three of them collectively shifted to Guan Che again.

Guan Che sat up straight reflexively, and cleared his throat: "Mr. He, I have two selection criteria, the outline of the story conforms to the narrative rhythm of the movie, and the similarity between the characters and the types of roles played by Mr. Huo is less than 30% .Although this standard is not easy to quantify, the homogeneity of your [-] scripts is still a bit serious."

"First of all, it is a fantasy movie. Whether it integrates oriental aesthetics or western mythology, this kind of integration is actually a bit too blunt. There are a few stories that are very exciting and rich in imagination, but the current domestic special effects level and interpretation ability cannot do it. Guan Che glanced at Huo Xiuchi, "And the protagonists of this kind of movies generally highlight the aura of the protagonist too much. This kind of movie market is already tired of aesthetics. Teacher Huo and I are both realists, and we haven't heard of this kind of movies yet. interest."

"Indeed, we selected it because you might want to try some new themes." Mr. He nodded and pointed to the document, "There are quite a few realistic themes in it."

"I'm sorry, Mr. He, with all due respect, the reality here is a false reality." Guan Che said, "It's not the so-called bodiless reality of life from the source of art, but the reality conceived by the author. It is obvious that, A considerable part of it is the novel film and television copyright acquired by the company, and they are all sweet novels. Although I have not seen the complete script, but based on past experience, the script adapted from this novel is first of all the love line of the two male protagonists. It needs to be deleted bluntly, the second is that there are a lot of unreasonable situations in the plot, and the third is that the lines are seriously illogical. It is suitable for making dramas, not for making movies."

When Guan Che said these words, Huo Xiuchi inexplicably remembered the "Meng Concubine Doctor" he participated in...

A little suffocated.

I still want to laugh.

But even if Guan Che's plays are weird, it doesn't prevent him from being a master of drama, film and literature... He may have a deeper understanding of this aspect than himself.

"There are also original scripts written by the screenwriter..." Mr. He's voice is getting weaker and weaker, but he still does not give up.

"Understood." Guan Che nodded with a smile, "That's even worse. The characters and the story are all popular memes. I already know what lines the protagonist will say when I see the plot. I think Teacher Huo and I should It's not for acting in a Lunar New Year comedy..."

"The subject matter of criminal investigation is good, but the scene is a problem, and it is easy to be castrated." Guan Che said.

At this point, Huo Xiuchi interjected and added: "My last play was about criminal investigation, so I don't think about it."

"Then..." The expression on Mr. He's face was almost unstoppable, and the smile was forced, "Then Mr. Huo give us some more time?"

"A good script is never afraid of being late. You don't have to be in a hurry." Huo Xiuchi patted Mr. He on the shoulder, "Mr. He, of course I can't let you make a trip in vain. You put the drama that you are planning to launch recently to attract investment. show me."

So they handed over a dozen more notebooks.This time it is a printed PPT color page, which is a detailed project introduction.

Huo Xiuchi pushed to Guan Che's side all at once, and waved to Guan Che, beckoning him to come closer.

"These are TV dramas. According to the popular memes you mentioned, choose one of the popular themes. From a purely commercial point of view, it should be the one that can make money." Huo Xiuchi whispered in his ear.

Guan Che didn't know what to do, but he obeyed Huo Xiuchi's words. After screening, he carefully compared a costume drama and a light romantic comedy, and finally ordered the light comedy of love. The play was called "The Middleman of Love" ".

The heroine is a platform for buying and selling used cars, and the heroine is a lawyer specializing in economic disputes.

When Huo Xiuchi saw this name, his brain became bloodshot subconsciously. He really didn't dare to compliment this so-called entertainment culture popular with the public.

He didn't even look at it, and directly took out the document and handed it to Mr. He: "That's it, I voted for it."

The three people on the opposite side were all happy.

——As long as they gain something, it is good!

Huo Xiuchi handed them the business card of the person in charge of project investment in his studio: "I will call our manager later to explain the situation. You can just ask him for the follow-up investment ratio and conditions."

"Okay! Boss Huo Huiyan, this drama is the project we plan to spend the most time promoting this season." Mr. He is very happy.

As for whether he has to spend a lot of time to promote it, or because he invested in it to temporarily become the "top brand", Huo Xiuchi doesn't have the time to worry about it.

When Mr. He wanted to ask them if they had any detailed requirements for the movie script, Huo Xiuchi had already said "Let's go first", and together with Guan Che, no one was there.

……

Guan Che's car.

After Huo Xiuchi made the explanatory phone call as promised, he sighed sadly: "I wasted all afternoon, and there is not a single suitable script. The current situation is too difficult."

"But you surprised me today," Huo Xiuchi said, "You have a lot of research on the market."

"This is just a research project of mine. I just finished my defense two months ago. I can recite some statistical data for you now." Guan Che tapped the steering wheel lightly with his index finger, and he was silent for a while. Suddenly said, "Mr. Huo, you really want to invite me to make a movie with you, right?"

Huo Xiuchi turned his head to look at him, and replied with a serious attitude: "I never joke about movies."

"Then what do you want to gain from this movie?" Guan Che asked again, "Another breakthrough in personal acting skills, a soaring reputation, or a CP frenzy like "Shadow"?"

I still want to get love.

Huo Xiuchi secretly thought.

But he couldn't say it, so he replied ambiguously: "Not only, but also not."

Guan Che turned his head to look at him in surprise, then returned to the traffic ahead: "I don't understand."

"All these, as long as I act well, I can get something. But you didn't ask the reason for cooperating with you." Huo Xiuchi didn't go around in circles, "I want you to be the absolute protagonist in this drama, and I'll entrust you with the drama. So it has nothing to do with what I want to gain, I give you this opportunity, it should be you to think about what to gain with this movie."

Quiet.

Guan Che pursed his lips, thinking seriously about what he said.

Suddenly, he made a sudden turn and changed lanes, then slammed on the brakes, and stopped the car on the side of the road.

Guan Che turned around to face Huo Xiuchi completely, his expression was very excited, his eyes were like torches: "I understand, Mr. Huo!"

Huo Xiuchi calmed down: "What do you know?"

"You want to give me a stage to fully display myself. Since you believe in me so much, then I will not let you down!" Guan Che had just finished the last sentence excitedly, but the next sentence became cautious, "I really can Do you fully consider your own vision?"

"Yes." Huo Xiuchi nodded.

"In this case... Mr. Huo, can I write this script myself?"

Huo Xiuchi was stunned.

A few seconds later, his expression suddenly became excited and looking forward to it.

So, he will play the role that Guan Che tailor-made for him? !

What could be more romantic than this? !

He couldn't help applauding Guan Che: "That's really... great!"
