Chapter 86 Okita's Script [Please Subscribe]

After staying for two days, under Zhao Shanshan's watchful eye as if she were a thief, Wang Xuan had no choice but to leave the "Grandson" film crew.

"Go back now, I'm boarding the plane soon."

"Okay, I'll watch you go in before I leave. I'll call you every day after filming."

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

Wang Xuan waved and walked into the security checkpoint.

Following the crowd, Wang Xuan got off the plane. Having a history of being secretly photographed, he made some necessary disguises.

He blended into the large group leaving the airport, his travel-worn appearance making him go unnoticed.

He caught a glimpse of several paparazzi lying in wait out of the corner of his eye, and quickened his pace to avoid being blocked.

Once in the taxi, Wang Xuan started paying attention to the art exams, trying to find out which promising students were available.

This year, the number of applicants to the three major universities has reached a new high, with thousands of people vying for a single place.

The area outside the Beijing Film Academy was completely blocked off, with cars, people, and parents waiting outside.

..

There were many signs and notices posted outside, and several designated passageways were temporarily marked out.

The cars were stuck in traffic and couldn't get through, so Wang Xuan told the driver to pull over so he could walk a few steps.

He wasn't worried about being recognized; he was wearing a mask, only his eyes were visible.

Two bright red banners hung on the school gate, the one with the most words being the most eye-catching.

Congratulations to Wang Xuan, an outstanding student from the Class of 07 in the Performing Arts Department of our school, for winning the Best Director Award at the 59th Berlin International Film Festival!

It looks a little strange.

He was a performance major, but won an award from the directing department.

I wonder what the directing department thinks?

"Hey, classmate, go line up over there for the exam."

The old man from the security office stopped Wang Xuan.

"Uncle Zhang, it's me."

"Don't try to get close to me, go line up over there."

Wang Xuan had no choice but to pull off his mask.

"Oh my, Director Wang is back. Look at how I handled this."

The gatekeeper smiled and stepped aside, quickly welcoming Wang Xuan inside.

Many people heard the commotion and began to whisper among themselves.

"That person must be Director Wang Xuan, right? I heard he's still in the acting department. I wonder if I could be his junior."

"Director Wang is so handsome and devoted, I really envy Senior Jing Tian."

During this period, when I saw people from the directing department, I looked down on them.

Throughout the history of the Beijing Film Academy, award-winning directors have either come from the directing department or the cinematography department; this is the first time a girl from the acting department has come from such a department.

.

The directing department even caused a commotion when the banner was hung up.

To say that Wang Xuan is Tian Zhuangzhuang's apprentice should be correct; he should be listed as a directing student.

Wang Chunzi retorted.

The file clearly stated that Wang Xuan was from the acting department, which finally silenced the directing department.

"Wang, you've worked hard."

Wang Chunzi smiled kindly and inquired about the recent trip to Berlin.

"Give me the trophy, I'll return it to you after we take the picture."

"Teacher, didn't you see the news? I gave it away."

"You really sent it away, you silly child."

Wang Chunzi almost fainted, but then, as if remembering something, her eyes lit up with a smile.

"Oh, it's at Jing Tian's place, that's good, we're all family."

Wang Xuan nodded: "We need to ask her for it to take photos for our records."

"Okay, I'll borrow it from her when I get back to school."

Wang Chunzi changed the subject, talking about the upcoming final exam: "Now that you're back, remember to come to the final exam—"

"I'm not busy lately, you can come over and have a chat."

The school intends to establish his reputation to showcase its teaching achievements and, incidentally, suppress other art colleges.

Wang Xuan also wanted to be associated with the Beijing Film Academy.

If the film and television industry were to be compared to a sect, then without a doubt, the Beijing Film Academy would be the most prestigious sect.

After returning to the company, Wang Xuan entered his office amidst everyone's congratulations.

The release date for "The Hunt" still needs to be discussed with the Central Motion Picture Corporation, and the script for the Oscars also needs to be prepared.

Wang Xuan initially selected two scripts to transfer: "Green Book" and "The Intouchables".

The story of "Green Book" takes place in 1962, when racial segregation was still in effect in the American South, and Black people often faced discrimination in restaurants, lodging, and transportation.

The protagonist of the story is a Black pianist who relies on the Green Book to guide his way during his tour.

By chance, he met a white man who was short of money.

Compared to the racially discriminatory "Green Book," "The Intouchables" is much more heartwarming.

A wealthy white man became quadriplegic after a skydiving accident, rendering him unable to care for himself and causing him to become withdrawn and irritable.

A young Black man, recently released from prison, desperately needed money and initially only wanted to collect his unemployment benefits from his dismissal letter. However, the two unexpectedly found themselves getting along well.

One didn't discriminate against his Black identity, and the other didn't treat him as a disabled person.

Both films tell stories about white and black people, and were directed by him, an Asian.

Is there anything more politically correct than this?

If the Oscars dared not award it, they would be drowned in a sea of ​​criticism.

Between the two stories, Wang Xuan prefers "The Green Book".

The original film won three Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Original Screenplay.

As for the adaptation, it depends on whether Zhang Yu can obtain authorization from the original work.

While Wang Xuan was reviewing the company reports, his phone, which was on the table, vibrated.

It was my assistant calling.

I glanced at the time; it should be late at night in North America.

"Boss, we've obtained the authorization for the two prototypes of the Green Book."

"Did you make any requests?"

"Yes, we need to read the script before filming to make sure there's no unflattering portrayal before we can start filming."

"Promise them, we don't need to look for the other one."

The inspiration for "The Intouchables" is in France, where there are already better options, and there's no need to remake a similar story.

"The independent film companies you suggested I look into have complicated registration processes for Chinese individuals. I would recommend buying into a company that's on the verge of bankruptcy."

"I'll think about it when I get there."

Setting up a film company in Hollywood was much more complicated than Wang Xuan had imagined; he could only decide after he got there.

After hanging up the phone, now that he had obtained the authorization, Wang Xuan needed to quickly write the script while she was still in the United States so she could register it.

Outsiders and the media discovered a surprise on the Beijing Film Academy's official website.

Wang Xuan, who had just won the Silver Bear Award, joined the final audition panel for the acting department.

It's controversial, but the voices are very quiet.

Almost no one questioned Wang Xuan's qualifications and abilities.

Winning Best Actor as an actor and Silver Bear as a director is a unique achievement in China.

Of course, a few "older" people questioned his lack of professional title, arguing that he was too young and lacked sufficient qualifications.

These voices were silenced by the Dean of the Performing Arts Department with two Silver Bear trophies.

Wang Chunzi also called to comfort Wang Xuan, telling him not to be disturbed by these irrelevant voices from the outside world.

.

"No, I'll just take it as whimpering."

"Well said. These old fogies aren't very capable, but they love to point fingers and act superior—"

Wang Chunzi harbored a lot of resentment because she was also one of the victims. Logically speaking, Wang Xuan's two trophies should have been enough to get her a professorship.

However, because she was only 34 years old and had only been an associate professor for less than two years, she was rejected by some older people.
