I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 36

"Director Wan, take a look."

Sun Yao, who had become darker and thinner, and less cute, handed over the first draft that they wrote after spending a month in the countryside.

Wan Qingshan took the script and walked into the office.

This time, Wan Qingshan stayed inside for an hour before coming out.

There was no need for Wan Qingshan to shout this time. As soon as he came out, Sun Yao and the other three walked towards the sofa.

"There are no big problems with the first draft this time. I just need to polish it and polish the details."

While Sun Yao and the others were excited, they heard Wan Qingshan say from behind, "But you have to delete your son's emotional line."

Sun Yao's expression froze and he asked, "Director Wan, why do you want to delete the love line? It is normal for a son to fall in love at this age."

Wan Qingshan shook his head and said, "The son's character is characterized by low self-esteem and cowardice, and he will only be very tough when facing his father.

Sun Yao, you are a woman, if you put yourself in his shoes, would you fall in love with him? "

Sun Yao thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "I understand. With such a character, no woman of his age can like him."

At this time, Sun Yao suddenly thought of something. She rolled her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Well, Director Wan, there is such an important female character in the script. If the emotional line is deleted, there will be no need for an actress." Well, Miss Chen won’t have any objections."

Sun Yao didn't know that Chen Yumo didn't like filming. She only knew that Chen Yumo was Wan Qingshan's girlfriend and the female lead in Wan Qingshan's first movie.

But the new film has nothing to do with her, so it's normal for Sun Yao to worry about Chen Yumo's objections.

Wan Qingshan was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "What does she have to say? This is not a love scene, so I definitely need an actress."

Sun Yao felt relieved when he saw that Wan Qingshan's expression did not sound like he was being arrogant.

She didn't care about the relationship status of Wan Qingshan and Chen Yumo. She was afraid that if Chen Yumo got into trouble and Wan Qingshan got into trouble, Wan Qingshan would blame them, saying that the three of them felt that the emotional line was unnecessary, so there was no role for Chen Yumo.

Then, she said with a smile, "Director Wan, actually there is no need for an actress in a love scene."

Wan Qingshan was stunned, stared at Sun Yao and cursed, "I didn't expect that she is still a rotten girl."

"As a girl, what are you thinking about? Go and polish the script. I want to see the complete script in half a month." Wan Qingshan stood up and patted Sun Yao's head gently.

After the first draft of the script was finalized, Wan Qingshan immediately prepared the crew.

After leaving Qingshan Film and Television Company, Wan Qingshan was ready to call someone.

Just as he took out his cell phone, it suddenly rang.

After answering the phone, Wan Qingshan drove to China Film Academy.

"Han Dong."

"Qingshan, sit down." Han Sanping, who was behind the desk, pointed to the chair in front of him.

After Wan Qingshan sat down, Han Sanping handed over several documents and said,
"The total box office of "The Selection" is 300 million, temporarily ranking first in the domestic box office. The domestic box office is good, and it is an award-winning film at the Berlin Film Festival. Distributors in Japan and South Korea are willing to buy it, and the total sales in several countries are 300 million. Document It's all here.

What happened before was that China Film Group was sorry for you. I told them that I would give all the money to you.After a while, I will let the finance department transfer it to you. "

If he could get more money, Wan Qingshan wouldn't be pretentious, "Thank you, Director Han, for taking care of me."

“This is not care, this is what you deserve.

Let’s not talk about this anymore. By the way, Qingshan, how is the writing of your new script going? "

"We have just finalized the first draft and are preparing to prepare the crew."

Han Sanping's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "If you need anything, you can come to me directly." "Director Han, China Film is also a funder, so I won't be polite." Wan Qingshan replied with a smile.

"Okay, hurry up and come up with a budget. No matter how much investment is needed, China Film will provide half of it."

Wan Qingshan frowned, China Film asked for half, he felt it was a bit too much.

However, when I think about the fact that all aspects of film review and arrangement depend on China Film, and China Film invests, the affiliation fee, rental of photographic equipment and post-production can all be saved.

After all, Wan Qingshan felt much better.

"No problem, Director Han. After making the budget, I will show it to you."

"Okay, once the budget is made, I will have someone transfer the money."

The box office performance of "Selection" made Han Sanping very optimistic about Wan Qingshan.

Although there were no pirated copies leaked out, the box office was only 300 million yuan.But Han Sanping asked someone to make an estimate. Even if there were pirated copies, the box office should be close to 3000 million.

"Selection" with an investment of less than 300 million, even if the box office is 3000 million, it can still make millions.Including sales to Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, "Selection" can earn more than 2000 million, which is more than a commercial film.

Making money by investing in Wan Qingshan's movies is the next best thing for Han Sanping.

The main thing is that after watching "Selection", Han Sanping found that it was not the kind of literary film that makes the audience confused and incomprehensible.

The literary films produced by Wan Qingshan have very direct themes, unlike the films of Lou Ye and others that pick on the audience.

This shows that Wan Qingshan can make good commercial films.

That's why Han Sanping wanted to win over Wan Qingshan, hoping that Wan Qingshan would make a commercial blockbuster like "Hero" to expand the film market.

After coming out of China Film Academy, Wan Qingshan started preparing the crew.

"Yan Dong, get ready to work. Come to the small alley tomorrow."

"Fuck, I'm finally going to make a movie. I'm shooting models..."

On the other end of the phone, Yan Dong was so excited that Wan Qingshan hung up before he could finish his words.

Wan Qingshan pressed his hand and made another call.

"Brother Bo, I have prepared the script and will start shooting in about a month. Do you have time?"

"Of course, Qingzi, you don't know. I told my company before that you might ask me to make a movie, but the company didn't arrange any further work for me and just waited for your movie.

Two days ago, the media reported that your movie had a box office of over 4000 million.The company asked me to take the initiative to contact you to ask about the movie role, for fear that my role would be robbed. "

“Brother Bo, let your company rest assured that no one can take away your role.

Brother Bo, I will contact you after the script is ready. Then you may need to come to Beijing to discuss the contract and script.By the way, you can take a look at the house,"

"Haha, okay, I will go to the capital to look at houses then."

After hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan called Li Yancheng again.

Li Yancheng has no connections in theaters or media, so he is not a qualified producer.

But because Li Yan had become him before, he refuted Lu Jian, and Wan Qingshan was willing to continue to find Li Yancheng as a producer.

Anyway, with China Film, theaters and media, there is no need for Li Yancheng to do anything.

After hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan thought for a while, called Chen Yangong, then returned to Qingshan Film and Television Company, copied a first draft of the script, and went straight to Nortel.
