Chapter 31: A Small Person's Words Have No Effect

"Does anyone have any other questions?"

"If you have any ideas, please feel free to tell me. This is our first meeting today, and I want to hear your opinions on the script."

Master Zhang looked at the people present kindly.

No one said a word.

Only Uncle Benshan spoke up: "Can my character be given a special feature that the audience can remember at first sight?"

"What do you think."

Master Zhang still attaches great importance to Uncle Benshan’s opinions.

"For example, this guy has a cross eye and doesn't look anyone in the eye."

Uncle Benshan demonstrated it by focusing his eyes in the middle and said, "Director Zhang, how do you feel?"

puff~
The conference room burst into laughter.

The comedic effect that Uncle Benshan can bring out in this kind of role is so great that most people can hardly hold back their laughter.

"Haha, this is fine." Master Zhang said with a smile.

In his opinion, this movie should be humorous with a cold undertone.

However, he felt that the black humor of "Blood Labyrinth" would not be suitable for mainland China, so he thought of incorporating the humor of Errenzhuan into it.

But at this moment, he hasn't figured out how to balance the fusion of the Errenzhuan and the theme of the movie.

Xu Ming looked at the first draft of the script and also had a lot of complaints to offer.

The plot of this script is so loose that it seems like the screenwriter came up with it on the spur of the moment. Although the lines are funny, they are also quite vulgar.

For a moment, he even felt that this was an extended version of the Spring Festival Gala skit.

It wasn't until he saw the screenwriter's signature on it that he understood.

Isn’t this Xu Zhengchao, the screenwriter of “Not Short of Money”? No wonder it smells so familiar.

Xu Ming hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up: "Director Zhang, I'd like to ask when exactly this story was set?"

He read the entire script, and to be honest, he didn't quite understand what the story was about.

In fact, there is some speculation that normally, Master Zhang's script should not be written by Xu Zhengchao.

From this perspective, it seems that the company is also constrained by investors.

After all, unlike Uncle Benshan, Master Zhang is a pure director. He insists on certain aspects of his films, but he will also compromise.

This is also the reason why he never lacks film investment and is always on the road.

From a certain perspective, Master Zhang also has a smooth and business side.

On the other hand, Chen Kai, who has always been persistent in art, has failed in every shoot, and failed again and again...

"I haven't set a specific background. It's an ambiguous era because I want to blend in the characteristics of different eras. The clothing will be more inclined to the large flowered jackets from the Northeast. I think your flowered jackets will present a very interesting visual picture..."

Master Zhang became eloquent when talking about vision and color, but rarely mentioned the plot.

Xu Ming even wanted to ask the other party whether he had read the script carefully.

But the master at the side glanced at him sternly and said, "Director Zhang must have his considerations. Just memorize your script and play your role well."

He asked questions to ease the atmosphere, but when it came to Xu Ming's turn, it was not appropriate.

"Yes, Master."

Xu Ming responded, and his original intention to change quickly faded.

I've crossed the line a bit. Is it right for me to question the script?

The master's rebuke also calmed his slightly dizzy heart.

In "Love Is Not Blind", I may be the one who gets a lot of responses.

But in the film and television industry, his influence is still insignificant.

That’s all.

……

A week had passed since the meeting with Master Zhang. After Master Zhang left, Master led them to rehearse the play.

The Errenzhuan style is extremely prominent.

Xu Ming tried to act according to his own ideas, but his master did not allow it.

In the latter's view, this is an opportunity to promote Errenzhuan culture.

As his disciple, I must also carry on the style of the Zhao family.

There might be room for negotiation on other matters, but no one could convince him when it came to the inheritance of Errenzhuan.

Seeing that there was no possibility of improvement for "Three Guns", Xu Ming put all his focus on "Love Is Not Blind".

He understands that his influence is insignificant, but that doesn't mean he can always tolerate himself being in this position.

As long as the character Wang Xiaojian, played by himself, appears in front of the audience early, the negative impact of playing Li Si afterwards will at least not cause a devastating blow to him.

"Cut, this one passes."

"Fix up Teacher Xu and Xiao Song's makeup and change the venue."

Teng Huatao's voice was full of energy on the set, and he became more and more confident as he filmed this movie.

Although Xu Ming would often give orders and make suggestions on filming, which made the director very unhappy, it must be said that these suggestions visibly moved the crew in a positive direction.

As long as this movie can recoup its costs, he is confident that he can attract investment for the next movie.

At that time, he would never cooperate with Xu Ming no matter what.

Although there was no overt conflict, his rights as a director were violated too much.

"Hey, your contract with Orange Sky Entertainment is about to expire, right?" Xu Ming asked.

"At the end of the year, the company is talking to me about contract renewal. I'm still considering it. Otherwise, why do you think they don't give me any resources?" Xiao Song Jia said with a wry smile.

Thinking about it now, she might as well have followed Wang Jinghua.

"Would you consider coming to my place?"

Xu Ming casually asked a proposal that he had been planning for a long time.

"You, Benshan Media, haven't even produced a single actress yet..."

"No, it's mine."

Xu Ming emphasized, "This is my own company. Don't worry, if you come, you will be the top lady in the company and you can choose the resources first."

"Oh, you are kidding me. If I go there, I will be the only one there. There is no way I can be the second sister."

Little Song Jia sneered, thinking the other party was joking.

"Three have been signed, one female and two males, all of whom are your juniors at the Shanghai Theatre Academy."

Xu Ming said in a serious tone: "I'm not kidding, you should think about it carefully. I can't guarantee anything else, but I can still promise a female lead of the level of "Love Is Not Blind" one per year."

A few days ago, Tang Sheng had persuaded the people from Lianfan Technology to acquire 30% of the copyright share for three million yuan.

By the way, Lou Yixiao, Wang Chuanjun and Sun Yizhou were signed.

Chen He has his own background and looks down on Xu Ming's small company. Li Jinming signed an exclusive performing contract with the producers of "Love Apartment" last year.

Deng Jiajia is from Huayi, and she just appeared in "Love Apartment 2".

"Let's talk about it at the end of the year. Even if I agree to you now, are you willing to pay the penalty and take me away?" Little Song Jia turned his head and looked at Xu Ming.

"Ahem, didn't Chengtian send someone to guest star? Let's go and greet them."

Xu Ming avoided the question and talked about other things. Not to mention that he was short of funds at the moment, even if he said he could afford it, he wouldn't dare to do it.

Given little Song Jia's condition, if he dared to agree, he might even be willing to live with her.

That won't do. There's a whole forest here.

Speaking of which, it seems that Tang Yan is one of the artists sent by Orange Sky to guest star this time.

　A bunch of old perverts, they blew up all the pictures, can they be as pure as the author?
