This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 385 This script is plagiarized (Monthly ticket plus 137)

The party was very exciting, and Hao Yun was also having a great time.

Except for some of the Yindang attributes that Hao Yun could not use and let them dissipate, other attributes such as directing, acting, screenwriting, photography, etc. that Hao Yun could not store would be experienced on him.

"This topic is too sensitive. Let's do it next time." Hao Yun rejected Du Qifeng again.

He also felt a little embarrassed, but this time "Black Society" was really a bit outrageous. Just by listening to Du Qifeng's description of the general content, he felt that it would be difficult to release it in mainland China.

One of Hao Yun's principles for selecting films is that they have to be released in mainland China. Otherwise, even if Hong Kong makes an exception and lets him be the leading actor, he would not want to do it.

In Hao Yun's mind, Hong Kong was just a dungeon where he occasionally came to play.

"It's really hard to get it approved in the mainland, but it's not impossible to get it approved as long as you revise it. If you have a subject that's not easy to get approved in the mainland, you can shoot it in Hong Kong and then take it to the mainland for review. It will be much better than having it reviewed directly in the mainland."

This time, Du Qifeng treated Hao Yun as a director of equal status.

He hopes that Jimmy, played by Hao Yun, will be the third role, with a very important part and a very good character. In the film, he represents a new life, a vitality under the old system.

But Hao Yun was not interested.

When Hao Yun said he missed home at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony today, he was not being deliberately sentimental; he really did miss home a little.

I plan to take on fewer projects next year and go home more often.

What Hao's mother said, "Don't go home until you find a wife," was obviously just her angry words and should not be taken seriously.

They shouldn't turn him away...right?

"Thank you Director Du. If I have any difficult scripts, I will bring them to Hong Kong to do it." Hao Yun did not say that he wanted to cooperate with Milkyway Image because of China Star behind Milkyway Image.

Since 2001, Du Qifeng has become the president of China Star.

In addition, Liu Furong has been the number one superstar under the Chinese Star Boss since the 80s.

Boss Xiang and China Star are not good partners because of their backgrounds.

If Milkyway Image had no ties with China Star, Hao Yun would be happy to cooperate with Milkyway Image because it is his favorite Chinese-language film label.

The reason why Hao Yun did not express his opinion was because he had another way to go, that was Boss Yang of Yinghuang.

Boss Yang is from Jiang Wen's line, and Hao Yun's brother Chen Guanxi is also a movie king.

This is the role of personal network. While other mainland stars are trying every means to enter the Hong Kong circle and are willing to humble themselves in various ways to do so, Hao Yun can choose to cooperate with any of Hong Kong's Boss Yang's Yinghuang, Lin Jianyue's Huanyu, and Boss Xiang's China Star.

In addition to Du Qifeng, other directors also approached Hao Yun.

Wu Yushen is currently remaking his own film "Bullet in the Head", which is the only film invested by Wu Yushen's own film company. Its box office failure caused Wu Yushen to go bankrupt directly - he not only makes others bankrupt, but also does not let himself go.

Even so, Wu Yushen still thinks this is his most satisfying and outstanding work.

More than ten years later, when Wu Yushen had the opportunity to produce his first important work after returning to China, he still chose this subject to remake. He and his director friends used "Tiantangkou" as a "stepping stone" to return to the Chinese market.

Casting is of paramount importance. Having already locked on Sun Honglei, Hao Yun became his next target.

In addition to Wu Yushen, there is also Er Dongsheng, who is currently working with Fang Long's son Chen Zuming on "Early Love".

He didn't mind that Hao Yun beat him to win the Best Picture award. This was just a game of honor played by the upper echelons of the entertainment industry. There was no need to fight over it.

Er Dongsheng is writing a script called "Disciples".

He is also a talented person who can be both a screenwriter and a director. Many directors in Hong Kong will participate in the screenwriting.

Write the story you want to film first, and then find a professional screenwriter to polish it.

The reason why they didn't continue to use Chen Zuming was because this thing was too difficult to deal with. In order to make him fit the character setting of "Precocious", Er Dongsheng and the Fang Long couple talked several times before they persuaded Chen Zuming to cut his long hair.

Er Dongsheng was so angry that he kept cursing.

What a crap thing! Even cutting hair is so hard. You can imagine how painful it was to make this movie.

The most hateful thing is that the movie "Precocious" was made with Er Dongsheng's own money.

If there is a loss, all that will be lost is his pension!

So, he vowed never to cooperate with Fang Long's son again.

In fact, there are few directors in the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry who are willing to work with Fang Long's stupid son.

What everyone likes is a handsome guy like Hao Yun who has strong professional ability and high degree of cooperation.

Hao Yun is also one of the few who can break the shackles that mainland actors can only play supporting roles and villains when coming to Hong Kong.

Now that Hao Yun has become a director, everyone is willing to work with him as long as they are willing to take on roles.

Hao Yun did not reject them directly, but had an in-depth discussion with them - regardless of whether to accept or not, the discussion was full of high-value attributes that could be obtained. This was much more efficient than handing out small cards.

He spent the entire evening wandering around among various big directors, and even An Xiaoxi, who was traveling with him, got a lot of film invitations thanks to him.

See, it’s so easy to break into the Hong Kong circle.

As long as you walk arm in arm with a cool guy and into the high-end cocktail parties of the entertainment industry, there will be plenty of opportunities coming to you.

Sadly, others don’t have it at all.

Either the person holding your arm has lost his glory days or he lacks the strength.

Well, the main reason is that there is no plug-in like Hao Yun that makes people like it from the bottom of their hearts.

After returning to the hotel, Hao Yun was taking pictures of himself while reading his diary.

Just like the scripts I got before, the content of the script was extremely detailed, the kind that even an idiot could make a movie based on it.

The only drawback is that Hao Yun needs to make some changes.

Either the character setting or the story background.

This "Lost on Journey" is relatively good, as the subject matter is very down-to-earth, referring to the Spring Festival travel rush that Hao Yun had also experienced.

The lack of transportation capacity and the population's migration needs have created a sharp contradiction.

The script popularizes a clichéd road-themed story, and is considered one of the road movies with a rich and interesting plot and distinct characters.

but……

Hao Yun scratched his head, this script structure seemed a bit familiar.

Oh yeah, Planes, Trains & Automobiles!
Hao Yun finally remembered this movie, which was translated into "Have a Good Trip" in China. It was directed by John Hughes, the screenwriter of "Home Alone", and co-starred by famous comedians Steve Martin and John Candy.

Hao Yun reads a lot of films.

Although not as good as Quentin, for an actor and director, movies are the thing they come into contact with the most besides eating and sleeping.

So, he quickly compared the many similarities between "A Happy Trip" and "Lost on Journey".

Not only are the plots of the two films about traffic accidents similar, but the two protagonists are also "a middle-class man who is rushing home to reunite with his family before the holidays" and "a crow-mouthed man from a lower class background."

In addition, the two films also have similarities in some plot settings ("the two were forced to live in the same room and even sleep in the same bed"), lines and the overall theme.

Fuck, this system is such a bummer.

Hao Yun scratched his head. This was really a fucked-up thing.

But he had to admit that this system adaptation method was very successful and achieved the ultimate in localization.

I don’t know if this movie will be a big hit, but if you can watch this movie while taking a long-distance bus, the journey will definitely not be boring.

I guess there will be a lot of laughter and joy.

For Hao Yun, who has experience in this area, it is very meaningful to make this movie.

As for the suspicion of plagiarism, Hao Yun didn't think it was a big problem.

Of course, he would definitely not be as shameless and stubborn as Lu Yan.

Hao Yun's plan is to directly purchase the adaptation rights.

Hao Yun couldn't remember when this movie was filmed, but it must have been an old movie from ten years ago.

This movie is not worth the money at all.

The Infernal Affairs trilogy can sell for 150 million US dollars because it is a commercial blockbuster with high commercial value.

The remake rights of Hao Yun's "The Heart Labyrinth" were sold to several countries, but they only sold for $20 - and this was the best screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival.

For an old, less well-known movie like this, the maximum price would be $30,000 to $50,000.

However, Hao Yun does not plan to act in or direct the film. He will just be a producer and let Ning Hao or someone else shoot it.

The studio should also look for some new directors to join.

There will definitely be many similar scripts in the future.

The actors chosen were Zhang Songwen and Wang Shunliu, who felt no pressure in acting in comedy.

It is not ruled out that there are people who are more suitable than them, but Hao Yun will definitely not give resources to outsiders.
