Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 605 Autobiographical movie?
Zhou Dongsheng returned to Little Man Media with excitement when he thought of the movie which was still fresh in his memory.
Of course, this is also one of the few movies that Zhou Dongsheng has watched several times, so he has a deep impression of the plot details and other aspects of this movie.
However, it is obviously a fantasy to want to replicate a movie just by watching it a few times, not to mention that Zhou Dongsheng is just a pure audience.
When it comes to professional knowledge in the field of film, I basically know seven out of eight things and nothing at all.
So after returning to Little People Media, Zhou Dongsheng directly called Manager Yang Fei over.
"Boss, are you looking for me?" Yang Fei pushed the door open very attentively.
As one of the middle-level cadres promoted by Zhou Dongsheng, Yang Fei was grateful to Zhou Dongsheng from the bottom of his heart. After becoming a manager, he continued to exert his subjective initiative.
After Zhou Dongsheng announced the short video strategy, he was the first to respond positively and also solved problems faced by many people in the company regarding video shooting.
Now, when he hears that the boss is looking for him, he runs over happily.
"Come on, Xiao Yang, please sit down. I have something to ask you." Zhou Dongsheng said in an elegant and easy-going manner.
"No, no, no, I don't deserve your advice. Boss, just ask whatever you have. I promise to tell you everything I know!" Yang Fei was flattered and waved his hands repeatedly.
Then he sat down with a serious look on his face, which made Zhou Dongsheng laugh.
"Don't be nervous. I just want to ask if you know anything about movie scripts? Or if you know any professionals in this field. I have an idea that I want to write down..." Zhou Dongsheng said in a relaxed manner.
Yang Fei was immediately shocked and asked, "Is it your autobiography, Boss? According to your experience, it would be very exciting if it were made into a movie..."
Not to mention, this idea made Zhou Dongsheng's heart move. Huh? This idea sounds good.
However, judging from my current experience, it is still a little weak. If I wait until several investments have borne fruit and then make an autobiographical movie...
That would be quite interesting, at least it would be no problem to make it into a standard popcorn movie.
It doesn't matter whether it sells well or not. Just think of it as spending some money to make a movie for your own pleasure. Then you can ask your internet celebrities or friends to make cameo appearances.
Let’s also learn from Teacher Ma’s sentiments and pay tribute to Teacher Ma (funny).
But obviously not now, but Zhou Dongsheng still secretly kept this idea in mind.
Despite this, Zhou Dongsheng still had a bright smile on his face. It was obvious that Yang Fei's flattery had touched his heart. Zhou Dongsheng smiled and said, "Well, of course not. My life experience is still very limited. It would be too boastful to make an autobiographical movie. This is just a piece of news I heard from someone else."
"Their experience is the real legend!"
"Oh? Could it be more legendary than the boss's experience? Then I have to listen to it." Yang Fei acted like a little fan of Zhou Dongsheng.
Then he added, "I will do my best to write the script for the boss's story."
The flattery was so skillful that Zhou Dongsheng began to wonder if the current corporate culture was a little bit crooked.
It must be Xu Kaidao who started the bad stuff. I’ll have to call him over and criticize him later!
Zhou Dongsheng then smiled and said, "The story I am going to tell is tentatively named "I Am Not the God of Medicine". The story begins with a man named Cheng Yong..."
That’s right, what impressed Zhou Dongsheng deeply was this tear-jerking masterpiece, which is a classic in film history that has achieved great success both in terms of word of mouth and box office.
Especially the fact that it is "adapted from a true story" makes it even more exciting.
Although overall, the effects presented by the movie have undergone a certain degree of artistic modification, after all, the saying that art comes from life but is higher than life is obviously not just talk.
But it does not in any way hinder the greatness of this movie or the real case itself.
It was because he cried while watching the movie in the cinema that left a deep impression on Zhou Dongsheng, and after it was released on the video website, he watched it several times with great gusto.
So now Zhou Dongsheng has no pressure in telling the story. Although there are some shortcomings in the details, the general direction is almost the same.
From the perspective of a middle-aged father who is in a very bad state, whether it is divorce, the acute illness of the elderly in the family, or the fight for child custody, the downfall of middle-aged men is portrayed vividly and thoroughly.
It was precisely because of this that Cheng Yong was forced to take risks, thus rejuvenating his second spring in life and accumulating his own team, but the good times did not last long...
Not only is the whole plot very compact, but the plot is also full of ups and downs, with twists and turns, climaxes, sublimation and deep thinking. The overall effect presented is extremely full and amazing.
Even though Zhou Dongsheng only narrated it orally, it was still fascinating. Yang Fei was mesmerized by it and finally became yearning for it.
"Such a wonderful story, I can't wait to see it on the big screen. If it is made into a movie, I will be the first to buy a ticket to support it!"
"By the way, boss, this person you said actually exists? I want to visit him in person." Yang Fei said with excitement.
"Of course, this person is called Lu Yong. Different from the story I told him, he is also a leukemia patient..." Zhou Dongsheng introduced in a few words.
Before this case was made into a movie, it had also caused a strong reaction in public opinion within a certain range, so there were also traces of it on the Internet.
Zhou Dongsheng had just learned about the case online. It was precisely because this case caused a sensation that it was noticed by some interested parties and adapted into a movie.
I just wonder if this caring person has already contacted me?
Even so, the script is probably still in the polishing stage and is far from the final product.
As a viewer who has watched the movie several times, Zhou Dongsheng can take advantage of the time difference to seek an opportunity to cooperate with this person with good intentions.
After all, for a movie, having just a script is definitely not enough. If it is handed over to different directors, it will inevitably present different styles.
The script is like a model, and the director is the painter holding the paintbrush. The final work will obviously vary from person to person.
Zhou Dongsheng naturally did not intend to make drastic changes to this classic work, so it would be better to leave it to the original owner.
It is obviously not difficult to contact this person, but you have to wait until you have finished the script, so that you will have more initiative.
Also, you have to get permission from the person involved to make the adaptation, which is not difficult...
"How about it? It's not difficult to write this story, right?" Zhou Dongsheng asked with a smile.
"Writing the script is not difficult, but filming it is the hardest part..." Yang Fei said after weighing the pros and cons very seriously.
"Okay then, I'll leave this matter to you. You don't need to worry about the filming. I will ask professionals to do it. If it is really successful, I will credit you for the achievement." Zhou Dongsheng waved his hand and immediately a move of flying cakes flew into the sky!
"No problem, boss! I guarantee to complete the task. I will write the script without affecting my job..." Yang Fei said righteously.
These words moved Zhou Dongsheng, a capitalist, to tears.
"Okay, then you go down." Zhou Dongsheng waved his hand and let him go down.
Then he called Xu Kaidao over, of course putting the criticism aside for the time being.
"Old Xu, please find a way to help me contact this Lu Yong. It shouldn't be difficult to find the person involved. Just say we want to rewrite his life experience. The price is negotiable..."
"Okay, boss!" Xu Kaidao agreed.
Zhou Dongsheng just moved his lips and then all he had to do was wait for feedback.
…
The Jiangnan area has always been a prosperous place in China since ancient times. It has given birth to countless talented men and beautiful women, and is still talked about today.
Lu Yong was acquitted a year ago. At that time, countless media flocked to him, and his deeds were written into news and widely circulated on the Internet, and he became a local celebrity.
But times have changed. Even big news has gradually been forgotten after a year, and everyone has become accustomed to it. At most, people only mention it occasionally after dinner or while chatting.
The same is true for Lu Yong himself. After experiencing great ups and downs in his life, his life has returned to normal, and he also cherishes the present ordinary days.
However, recently, his peaceful life has been disturbed one after another. Unexpectedly, a professional director was very interested in his story and wanted to adapt it into a movie. He even visited him very sincerely.
Lu Yong originally wanted to refuse outright, not wanting his peaceful life to be disturbed again, but the other party's sincerity was so great that he agreed.
Unexpectedly, just as someone was about to leave, someone else came to visit, and brought with him a carefully crafted script, also full of sincerity, which made Lu Yong a little embarrassed.
"Well, although this script looks good, I have already authorized it to someone else. I don't need to bother two people with this matter, so..."
"It doesn't matter. Then I'll trouble Mr. Lu to act as a bridge and we can talk to him directly about cooperation. I believe that our original intention is the same, which is to make Mr. Lu's story into a movie to inspire more people!"
Xu Kaidao said with full sincerity.
"Okay, I'll make a call then..." Lu Yong did not refuse, because he was very satisfied with the script, although it was not a 100% restoration of his life experience...
But sincerity can obviously make up for this shortcoming.
"Hello, Director Wen, I'm sorry to bother you. Regarding the adaptation authorization, someone came to visit me again, and brought a script with him. He also wants to discuss cooperation with you. I read the script and it's quite interesting..."
"Okay, then I'll give you the other party's phone number and you two can talk it over." Lu Yong explained the situation in a few words and then hung up the phone.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu. This is just a small token of my respect. Please accept it!"
…
On the other side, Wen Muye frowned and hung up the phone. He didn't expect that someone else was just like him and was eyeing the idea of adapting Lu Yong's deeds into a movie.
Moreover, the script had already been written? This aroused Wen Muye's strong interest.
After all, the more he learned about Lu Yong's deeds, the more excited Wen Muye became. He felt that this script was full of countless spaces for portrayal, whether it was patients, small people, or the conflict between prescriptions and patients' needs, there were too many things to describe.
It is precisely because of this that Wen Muye has a sense of déjà vu that he has a myriad of things to do but doesn't know where to start. After all, Lu Yong's deeds are themselves rare top-notch material.
After all, the story itself is enough to make a movie that people will talk about with relish, and it is indeed a very challenging task to condense it into the essence and present it on the big screen.
But for any director, being able to work with such top-notch material is already a very tempting thing.
Before he had done enough preparation and homework, Wen Muye would not allow himself to waste such good material. If he could not shoot it to his satisfaction...
Wen Muye would rather not shoot it himself. After all, wasting such good material would undoubtedly be a waste of resources.
But he didn't expect that before he even started, others had already done the foreplay. This made Wen Muye very curious about what this script was like.
I guess if Lu Yong could approve of it, there must be something to it... In that case, there's no harm in talking about it.
After all, he himself hadn't thought of a suitable idea.
After a while, the phone rang and an extremely young voice came from the other end, which was somewhat beyond Wen Muye's expectations.
"Director Wen, right? I've heard a lot about you. My name is Zhou Dongsheng..."
The name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Wen Muye said honestly: "Hello, hello, it's me..." As soon as he finished speaking, the other side began to extend an olive branch.
"I think Director Wen and I are both deeply moved by Lu Yong's deeds and want to bring it to the big screen to inspire more audiences. We have the same idea in this regard. I wonder if there is a chance to cooperate with Director Wen..."
"Not only do I have the script, I can also solve the investment problem. My only hope is to make this stock story perfect!" Zhou Dongsheng said eloquently.
Wen Muye on the other end of the phone was so frightened that he agreed without thinking and even arranged the time and place for the meeting.
After all, something like a script obviously still needs to be discussed face to face.
Only the luminous ones require you to hide under the covers to watch them.
It was not until he hung up the phone that Wen Muye came to his senses and realized that he was being led by the nose...
Wen Muye touched his nose, interesting! However, thinking of that familiar name, he couldn't help but pick up his phone to search for it. Unexpectedly, countless relevant information popped up at once, making Wen Muye dazzled.
After a closer look, Wen Muye couldn't help but smile sincerely. This made things even more interesting.
No wonder he even took charge of the investment matters, it turns out he is very confident. Wen Muye's interest increased greatly.
Not only am I interested in the cooperation, I'm even more interested in Zhou Dongsheng as a person!
Of course, the director's sexual orientation is still normal, but judging from the few words about Zhou Dongsheng that were searched, Zhou Dongsheng's personal deeds seem to be a rare material...
