Chapter 443 Either being banned or on the way to being banned
A phone call was made to the recording studio of Warner Records. When Wu Hu came over with Yahuazi, everything was ready.
After Yahuazi gathered her emotions for a while, she went directly into the recording studio to audition.
After singing it twice, Wu Hu felt something was wrong, so he called out Yahuazi and pulled her aside to talk to her, "Didn't I tell you last night? Don't worry about the singing you know.
Technique, forget about it, put the emotion into it. You have been thinking about the script for so long, and you have been filming the movie together for so long, but you still can't understand the emotional fate between the male and female protagonists? Think about it again..."
Half an hour later, Wu Hu was finally satisfied with the Yahuazi that he had prepared for so long. There was nothing he could do if he was not satisfied. After all, Wu Hu had not learned any skills related to singing skills before, so he could not help Yahuazi improve in a short period of time.
Her singing skills.
If your singing skills are not good, then you can only choose to use abundant emotion instead. The remaining flaws can be solved with the help of a universal tuner.
After all, Wu Hu is also proficient in the skills of millions of tuners.
At noon, Yahuazi and Wu Hu had a meal with President Chen, the head of Warner Records Asia, and talked about the announcement of the original album.
As for Wu Hu’s album share, there is no need for Wu Hu to push for this. President Chen will not default easily. After all, President Chen is also worried that Wu Hu will find the cooperation unhappy, so he turns around and falls into the arms of Sony. Sony wants to poach Wu Hu’s heart.
, but never died.
News that the three of them were eating out quickly spread.
After finishing their meal and leaving the hotel, Wu Hu and Yahuazi were surrounded by entertainment reporters.
"Pang Hu, are you dating Sissi?"
Hearing this, Wu Hu nodded his head, "Yes, yes! I also asked President Chen of Warner Records to be a light bulb for the two of us!"
His words immediately made President Chen, Yahuazi, and other entertainment reporters burst into laughter.
The entertainment reporter was also a little speechless, and he did not expect Wu Hu to answer like this.
"Sissi, are you planning to sign a contract with Warner Records and re-enter the music scene?"
Yahuazi shook his head and said: "It's not like re-entering the music scene, it's just 'Xingxing,' the theme song of this drama. Fat Tiger asked me to try singing it. I'm going to record this song today."
Wu Hu added: "Actually, Sissi has some singing skills, but her style is not suitable for hard singing and dancing. Lyrical songs are quite suitable for her."
"Fat Tiger, are you bragging again?"
Hearing this doubt, Yahuazi became very angry. It was obvious that he didn't believe her!
Wu Hu laughed and said: "When the show "Xingxing" is aired, everyone will know whether I am bragging or not! Okay, let's give way! Don't block other people's business."
At this time, Yahuazi's bodyguard driver also arrived.
Wu Hu was going to the company, so Yahuazi called the bodyguard driver over. She had no intention of going to the company and was going to go back and take a rest first.
Seeing that they could not stop Wu Hu and Yahuazi, the entertainment reporters had no choice but to interview President Chen.
President Chen revealed, "Warner Records has cooperated with New World Media, and the original soundtrack album of "Xingxing" will be released by Warner Records.
From President Chen, everyone learned that Wu Hu and Yahuazi not only collaborated on the drama "Stars," but also collaborated on the drama's original soundtrack album.
When the news spread to the Internet, everyone's expectations were instantly filled.
Of course, many people are worried about whether Wu Hu will capsize with Yahuazi. After all, it is obvious to all that Yahuazi broke into the music scene and ended miserably.
Although Wu Hu is very powerful, who knows if he can lead Feiya Hanako!
In short, there are those who are looking forward to it, there are also those who are not optimistic about it, and there is no shortage of those who are sarcastic.
In fact, it is nothing new to act and sing well, but it is difficult to say whether they can sing well. Many celebrities just want to take the opportunity to collect fans' money and cut their leeks.
Who knows if Wu Hu and Yahuazi also have such an idea!
That is, big
Mimi has never sung an out-of-tune version of 'Oxygen Supply' live, otherwise some netizens would definitely tease Yahuako, whether she would be like Damimi.
In fact, Yahuazi has also sung some live performances, but her style is really not suitable for singing and dancing. Compared to the out-of-tune queen Damimi, Yahuazi is actually quite good.
I returned to the company after two months. When the employees of the company saw Wu Hu appear, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all stood up and applauded Wu Hu.
Some are even still chewing their lunch boxes, it's their meal time now.
"Congratulations to the boss on your successful album sales and your triumphant return!"
I don't know which little clever guy yelled, and then similar compliments sounded in the office.
Wu Hu couldn't help but was stunned for a moment. After all, today was the weekend and the company shouldn't have so many talents. Then he saw the assistant director Kang Zhi walking out of the office, followed by Lao Bai, the head of the company's screenwriting department.
"Boss, you are finally back!"
Wu Hu nodded at him, raised his hand and pressed it, turned to the employees who worked overtime on weekends and smiled: "Everyone works hard, and bonuses will be added at the end of the year!"
One sentence instantly ignited everyone's enthusiasm for work.
Unfortunately it's lunch and lunch break time now.
After Wu Hu came to the office, Kang Zhi and Lao Bai followed him in.
Lao Bai still holds the script in his hand.
Wu Hu looked at Lao Bai and said with a smile: "Today is the weekend, and your screenwriting department usually has the most freedom. Why are you still working in the company today?"
Lao Bai put the two scripts in front of Wu Hu's desk and said with a smile: "I know boss, you came back yesterday, and Mr. Kang said that you would definitely come to the company today, so I waited in the company, and as expected, Kang
It’s always on point. This is the script we have filled in and polished, and the other one was saved together by us. Mr. Kang was not satisfied with the script we saved before.”
Wu Hu flipped through the scripts at random. One was the script they had saved themselves, and the other was the script "Lucky Key" that Wu Hu asked them to fill in and polish.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Lucky Key" has decided to cooperate with Zhongying, and Zhongying has also told Huang Bo, who is also very interested in this drama.
.
In fact, even if he wasn't interested, he didn't dare to show it. After all, he was a film and television company. There was no one with the most powerful film and television company.
Who in the film and television industry dares not to give that sitting-mountain eagle a bit of thin air?
Huang Bo is also famous in the circle for his high emotional intelligence, so he naturally knows how to deal with it.
What's more, there is also New World Media, which is rising strongly. Although New World Media is very small, its boss is Wu Hu, an international superstar.
Wu Hu's first album was a best-seller overseas, giving him an international title, but at that time not many people called him an international superstar. But now, as his second album continues to be popular overseas, several English songs have reached the top
He is in the top ten of the Eagle Billboard chart, and one of his songs even topped the list, which gave him a powerful aura.
Nowadays, not many people refute calling him an international superstar.
You know, someone is willing to pay 15 million dollars for a boxing match. With this price, if he is not a superstar, who is a superstar?
New World Media, which owns Wu Hu, no matter how small it is, no actor will reject it easily. What's more, for now, the works produced by New World Media are still high-quality. Even "Xiu Chun Knife",
The box office revenue is over 100 million.
After more than two months of filling, modification and polishing, "Lucky Key" was now a finished product. Wu Hu looked at it and found no obvious errors, so he put it aside.
Then I watched the work that their screenwriting department had put together. It was a horror film with elements of horror and suspense, but there were no ghosts in the script, it was just about psychology.
If there is an element of ghosts, it will not even pass the review, let alone the release.
This also limits the development of the ghost film genre in Zhonghua movies. If you want to make a horror film, you can only put on a lot of shackles, there can't be ghost elements, and it can't be too bloody, so you can only play psychological suspense to create a
The horror atmosphere of the movie.
This is also why many ghost movies suddenly turn into something...
The reason why a psycho is pretending to be a ghost, I have no choice but to shoot like this.
And these restrictions are also the reason why everyone thinks, "Ghost, this drama can't be broadcast on Star. Not to mention that it can't be broadcast on Star, even if you think about it, it will be troublesome to review it."
This script is called "The Case of Wife Murder in the Republic of China".
Wu Hu briefly read the script and found that the story told in the script was somewhat similar to the "Mountain Village Fox Wife" from another time and space.
Of course, the similarity is that it tells the story of the ugliness and despicability of human nature through the tragic murder of a wife. It achieves the scary purpose of creating suspense by creating suspense and adding folklore and weird stories, and at the same time it touches on human nature.
As for the background and where the story takes place, it has nothing to do with the movie.
After Wu Hu looked at it roughly, he looked at it carefully again, and half an hour passed like this. Neither Kang Zhi nor Lao Bai said anything, waiting silently.
The more carefully Wu Hu looked at it, the more uneasy Lao Bai became, but besides being uneasy, he was also a little worried. The script they compiled was somewhat suspected of plagiarism. After all, it is easy to find the prototype of the wife-killing case. The real point is
Talk about human nature.
There are simply countless scripts that explore human nature.
After a long time, Wu Hu closed the script, looked at Lao Bai, and finally looked at Kang Zhi, "What do you think of this script? You are the vice president, you can express your opinion."
When Kang Zhi heard this, he said: "To be honest with the boss, it was actually my idea to ask the screenwriting department to come up with such a story. I think the only domestic film that can compete with small things to achieve big results is a comedy, and comedy films have a wide audience.
, the investment can be very small, there is no need for big scenes, no special effects, and all those things that cost money can be omitted."
Wu Hu didn’t ask, ‘Then why not make a comedy, but a horror film?
Sure enough, after Kang Zhi paused, he continued: "Comedies are not only limited by creativity, but also by actors and directors. Our company does not have such conditions, and there are not many comedians themselves. Boss, you wrote this script
Although it is also a comedy, Zhongying will not refuse to cooperate with the boss, but Lao Bai and the others are not the boss after all."
Lao Bai nodded and said: "Actually, the cost of comedy films is much higher than that of horror films. Because actors in comedy films need certain comedy skills. There are not many such actors, and the pay will not be cheap. At present in China,
There are only a few actors who can take the lead in comedies. Horror films are different. New actors can all be cast. It doesn't matter if their acting skills are a little bit off, as long as the horror atmosphere can be created well."
Wu Hu nodded. Although New World Media did this at such a low cost, it would easily give people a sense of pettiness, but since it can make money, there is no need to give up this opportunity.
This kind of small crew can also cultivate some behind-the-scenes teams, and because the investment is small, there is no need to recruit other large companies to organize the company. It can take the opportunity to develop New World Media's own distribution capabilities. Even theaters can recruit them if they are interested.
They play together.
When Kang Zhi expressed this idea, Wu Hu couldn't help but look at him more.
This guy, you can do it! He didn’t even think about living alone, he knew how to use this method to win over theaters and expand the company’s distribution capabilities.
Kang Zhi was a little uneasy when Wu Hu saw him, "Boss, isn't this okay?"
Wu Hu shook his head and said: "The path is not wrong! But there are some problems with the script."
With that said, Wu Hu looked directly at Lao Bai, "Do you want to tell stories, or do you want to tell human nature through stories? This needs to be distinguished clearly."
Lao Bai was stunned for a moment and said, "There is no conflict between the two!"
Wu Hu shook his head, "You know Jiang Wen, right?"
Who doesn’t know the famous director Jiang? In the movie “Let the Bullets Fly”, he was asked to become a serf and sing, but he was so awesome!
Lao Bai was just wondering why Wu Hu suddenly mentioned this person?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wu Hu asked: "Before "Let the Bullets Fly", could his movies make money?"
When Lao Bai heard this, he couldn't help but remain silent.
Is Director Jiang’s movie good? No one dares to say it’s not good!
But can his movies make money? Before "Let the Bullets Fly", he made
The movie barely made any money and was either banned or on the way to being banned.
Lao Bai really wants to say that although his movies don't make money, they can win awards!
But think about it, can their movie win an award?
Thinking about it, Lao Bai silently shook his head, how could it be so easy to win the prize?
Wu Hu knocked on the table and said: "When we make a movie, we must first think about the box office, and then consider other things. If this is a literary film, let's talk about it separately. But now, this script is obviously aimed at the box office.
.”
Kang Zhi couldn't help but nodded, and Lao Bai also accepted the lesson humbly.
There is no way, who named Wu Hu once wrote a script that was a hit at the box office!
Although that script has the shadow of "Infernal Affairs", it is not easy to innovate on the basis of "Infernal Affairs".
Wu Hu is fully qualified to give them pointers on the script.
"Do you know the reason why many people don't like Director Jiang?" Wu Hu asked another question that left them all confused.
Does anyone hate Director Jiang?
There are many people who like him, but there are also many who hate him.
"He likes to educate people in movies." Wu Hu laughed, "In the words of some netizens, after a tiring day, being lectured by parents and wives at home, and being lectured by bosses and leaders at the company, I'll watch a movie.
Relax, you are still preaching, are you going to die? No one likes to be preached, so the part of the script that discusses human nature should not be too long, it only needs to present the story picture.
"How the audience judges it is the audience's business and we don't need to impose explanations."
Lao Bai nodded hurriedly. Originally, he thought that by touching on human nature a little more, he could add more connotation to this small-budget movie! Unexpectedly, the result turned out to be thankless.
"In addition, since it is a horror, thriller and suspense film, why not add more supernatural elements? Some ghost stories in mountain villages are good thriller elements."
Wu Hu started to talk with Lao Bai about the script of "Wife Killing Case" and started to refer to "Mountain Village Fox Wife".
Seeing Wu Hu's endless flow of ideas and the way he picked them up at his fingertips, Lao Bai would be lying if he said he wasn't envious.
What is the most important thing about being a screenwriter?
That’s an idea!
Other skills can be learned, but creativity requires inspiration.
As for inspiration and creativity, it doesn't just mean that you can have it. However, the various creative ideas in this boss's mind are endless, which makes people envious.
"It's the weekend, go back and rest! There is no rush for this script, you can save it slowly. Our company currently has many projects, including 'Goblin', which is about to be filmed, and later "Now You See Me", and "Lucky Key"
…”
After a pause, he added: "By the way, when we were filming "The Lucky Key", you sent a screenwriter to follow the team. Don't let anyone change our script at will, unless there are serious logical errors or inappropriate omissions...
…”
With him on the crew, you don't need to be a screenwriter, because he is the one himself.
But without him, some scriptwriters are still needed. Although nothing may happen, if there are some mistakes in the script and need to be revised, they need to be on call.
Of course, if any actor relies on their fame and wants to modify their script at will, then they can only let them go as far as they want.
I'm not used to your bad habits. You love acting but don't act!
