Chapter 800: .Mumoto Broadcasting

For Wang Yifan, "Dark War" is indeed a classic story, but there are many such stories in his hands.
He certainly couldn't do it all by himself.
Then take it out and shoot these classic films from past lives to suitable people. It is naturally a good choice.
For Cao Meng, although he had expected it before, after all, although Wang Yifan has a reputation for writing scripts, Hong Kong films, especially such stories with a strong Hong Kong film color, were actually written by Wang Yifan. Let him be a little surprised.
But I have to say, "Dark War" really made him very fond.
Hong Kong movies have been in decline for a long time. As an old director who has come from the golden age of Hong Kong Island movies, Cao Meng's love for Hong Kong movies is from the heart.
It's not that he can't make movies that go to Hong Kong, but he hopes to be able to show the glory of Hong Kong movies again in his lifetime, even if it's just a return to the light, but it can also give other latecomers an example.
Hong Kong movies are not outdated, it's just that the people of Hong Kong Island now stay in the glory of the past and don't want to come out, but the times have changed.
The films produced by directors on Hong Kong Island nowadays have occasional hits, but they are no longer mainstream. Moreover, because of the excessive production and the sentiment of selling Hong Kong films, this situation is getting worse and worse. .
In the past, any sequel to an old film on Hong Kong Island could be released and then make a fortune, but the reputation was poor.
Once or twice is nothing, but the more the number of times, the audience is not so fooled, so now it is caused, as long as the film is a sequel to the old port film, the audience will have a first impression directly. It's a bad movie!
And the other directors are not waiting. Although the story of "Dark War" is just a story script, they can't help but look forward to it.
why? Because even they were tempted in "Dark War".
It's not about the box office potential of this movie, but the story, which is really interesting and exciting.
And it has the taste of Hong Kong movies.
Sure enough, he is indeed the golden master who has moved the world. At this moment, at least Cao Meng is completely convinced by Wang Yifan's screenwriting ability.
Don't think that writing a Hong Kong-style script is so easy to write. It's fine to write well, let alone write new ideas, which is even more rare.
"Director Wang, "Dark War", what a "Dark War", this book, I took it!" Cao Meng is still sensible.
He was talking about this book, I took it, not I asked for it, the two have completely different meanings.
Of course, this is normal. After all, Wang Yifan is not bad for money, and Huaxin has no shortage of directors. Why does he come up with such a book that makes people feel like a good story at first glance is naturally purposeful.
Cao Meng also knew this, so he said that I took the book, not that I asked for it.
The meaning is obvious, this project can be regarded as Huaxin, or Wang Yifan arranged it himself, and Cao Meng took the position of the director of the film.
As for the investment, it is naturally left to Huaxin and Times Guangying to wrangling.
He also believes that even if Wang Yifan takes out the script, it is definitely impossible to eat alone. After all, it is difficult to eat alone, and it offends all the giants in one breath. Obviously, it is not a good thing for Huaxin. Cooperation and competition coexist. It's the norm.
With Cao Meng in front of the jade, the minds of other directors have become more active.
As expected, Wang Yifan was well prepared. The script of "Dark War" was obviously prepared specially for Cao Meng. Of course, in fact, He Jun was also interested in this story, but he was very witty and didn't start fighting, because, This book obviously has a Hong Kong film style, and Cao Meng is obviously better at this aspect than himself.
And since Wang Yifan pulled them over, he would definitely not favor one another, so although he looked forward to it, he was not so eager.
"Director Wang, where's mine?" Chen Hang asked with a smile first.
The others couldn't help but were a little surprised, but then they all laughed. In fact, at this moment, they are not in the same mood as Chen Hang?
For a director, a good script is really important.
Script, script, script of a script.
Perhaps many people will say, why is the status of screenwriters so low?
Why are so many innovative stories in Hollywood shelved?
Those scripts that are shelved are not bad, but because the scripts are good, they may not be adopted, because many projects often involve hundreds of millions of costs.
So the script is good, but the effect may not be good.
But conversely, it also depends on who wrote the script.
Winners always succeed.
Because the script was written by Wang Yifan, it is so important.
There are many good stories and good scripts in China, but why do many directors still say that there is no good story?
Because a good story does not necessarily mean that it will sell out.
In addition, a story written by an ordinary screenwriter, even if it is a good story, is often difficult to impress investors unless it is really amazing.
And conversely, if the story is truly amazing, how could this screenwriter remain unknown?
This in itself shows that your story is not amazing enough.
But on the other hand, if you are a famous screenwriter or director, looking for investment with a good story, it is completely different.
However, at the level of Wang Yifan, Chen Hang and others, there is no need to worry about investment, so what is missing is good stories. Some good stories may not be suitable for making movies, but some good stories are what the director dreams of.
Science fiction movies, in many cases, mean big productions and big investments, so the importance of scripts is beyond doubt.
Science fiction movies have always been difficult to shoot, and the market is not clear.
Why did Chen Hang give up sci-fi movies and direct other types of movies?
On the one hand, it was because of ambition and kidnapping by the market, but on the other hand, it was because of the lack of scripts that made him shine.
Wang Yifan was naturally prepared, and took out a script and handed it to Chen Hangdao: "I actually wanted to shoot this story, but since Director Chen is here, let me show it to you first. If you are interested, You can also let it."
Wang Yifan is telling the truth, and he himself particularly likes this story.
And speaking of it, this story is not that difficult to shoot. This is a soft science fiction story. There is no gunfight, action, etc., but a plot science fiction movie.
But this story is definitely exciting enough and excellent enough!
When Chen Hang heard this, he couldn't help but look forward to it more and more, while the others looked curious.
Even if it was the previous script for Cao Meng, Wang Yifan didn't say that. What kind of movie would Wang Yifan want to make?
