"Don't worry, I am sensible. I will never take the initiative to mention Li Mengjiao's name when I meet with Director Lin. If you don't believe it, I swear on my own novel. If I violate this oath, I will publish every novel I publish in the future!"
Wen Ying's expression was sincere, and the assistant director gave a thumbs up: "You are really generous."
Wen Ying doesn't need to take the initiative to bring it up. If Director Lin takes the initiative to bring it up, it won't be regarded as Wen Ying breaking her oath. The assistant director feels that he can't write novels. That's all. Looking at Wen Ying and Yuan Fenghui, they don't want to die until they reach the Yellow River.
Just let Director Lin reject them personally!
Director Lin was not in Shanghai, so Wen Ying and Yuan Fenghui bought air tickets and flew to another city without saying a word.
When the two arrived, the internationally renowned director was meeting with the parents of the female high school student.
It’s a very cliche story. A girl who never thought she could make a movie signed up for an audition with her friend, but her friend failed but she was chosen. When she received a call from the crew, the girl thought she had met a scammer.
Even if she saw Director Lin with her own eyes, the girl still couldn't believe it.
She felt that she was very ordinary and far less beautiful than her friends who signed up for the election together. She couldn't understand how she was chosen by Director Lin.
However, there is no doubt about the facts. Lin Wenxuan contacted the girl's parents - the girl was under the age of 18 and was not qualified to sign a contract with the crew. A guardian must come forward.
"If we film this movie, will it affect the college entrance examination?"
The girl's parents did not immediately agree to the sudden opportunity to become famous.
Girls are currently in the summer vacation of their sophomore year of high school, and will be their senior year of high school when school starts.
Lin Wenxuan said that if the filming of this movie goes smoothly, it will be necessary
A few months, if there is a delay in the middle, it may drag on for a year. Regardless of whether it is a few months or a year, the girl will definitely delay the college entrance examination, so the parents are very hesitant about filming.
It's okay to become popular, but if she doesn't, after seeing the temptations of the entertainment industry, can her daughter still calm down to study and live an ordinary life step by step?
The movies directed by Lin Wenxuan are very powerful, but not all of the heroines selected by Director Lin Wenxuan are popular!
Lin Wenxuan knew the girl's family was worried, but he didn't rush her.
Lin Wenxuan cannot guarantee that the little girl will become popular if she films his new film. The family has to make their own decision whether to film this film - only if the girl's parents reject Lin Wenxuan's invitation in the end, Lin Wenxuan will come forward to help the family.
Ideological work.
Now, Lin Wenxuan is very calm and lets the family think about it themselves.
Great directors believe they will make the right choice.
"Director Lin, Tianjiao's Director Yuan and the others are here."
The assistant walked in and Lin Wenxuan nodded, "You three can discuss it as a family. I'll go see my friends first."
Lin Wenxuan and his party booked a floor in the hotel. He knew why Yuan Fenghui came over, and of course he would not let Yuan Fenghui see the "heroine" he chose. Yuan Fenghui is a persistent person, and he will do anything to promote his artists to the top.
Director Lin doesn't dislike Yuan Fenghui's character very much, but he doubts that Yuan Fenghui will use any means on the "heroine" and her family.
The girl's family of three are all outsiders. They have never seen Yuan Fenghui's various tricks. They probably can't handle it.
Before leaving the room, Director Lin gave the assistant a wink and said
The Italian assistant protects the girl and her family of three.
"Don't worry, I'll be guarding the door."
"Well, keep it safe."
Lin Wenxuan frowned when he saw Yuan Fenghui, "Xiao Yuan, I already told you that we will cooperate again next time if we have a chance!"
Yuan Fenghui smiled and shook his head, "You have wronged me. Am I such an ignorant person? I'm not here to choose a heroine for your new movie. Today I am a guide, bringing a junior who has admired you for a long time.
Meet you!"
Yuan Fenghui pointed behind him, Lin Wenxuan looked up and saw Wen Ying at a glance.
"Fish against the current?"
"...you know me?"
Wen Yingluo said generously, "That's great! I thought of a lot of lines on the way here, but it seems I won't use them now."
Lin Wenxuan laughed, "There aren't many people who don't know you now. Do you think an old guy like me doesn't read the news?"
Wen Ying was praised by Lin Wenxuan and showed the right shy smile.
Lin Wenxuan was thinking about the "heroine" who had not yet signed a contract, and did not have much thought to chat with Wen Ying and Yuan Fenghui. Wen Ying and Yuan Fenghui flew over in person, which was indeed very sincere, and Lin Wenxuan also felt their affection for him.
Attention, but some principles must be adhered to, Li Mengjiao is indeed not the best candidate!
Lin Wenxuan said a few polite words and took the initiative to exchange contact information with Wen Ying. He expressed that he wanted to communicate more with rising creative talents like Wen Ying.
"I am a very direct person, so don't worry about what you say."
——Hurry up and explain your purpose of coming, and I will be able to reject you after you finish speaking!
Wen Ying stopped talking in circles: "I heard that you bought a novel to be adapted into a movie. I wonder if you have found it?
A suitable screenwriter? If not, I would like to recommend myself to you."
"No, the choice of the heroine...what did you say?!"
Lin Wenxuan said the words of rejection that he had prepared for a long time. He only realized what he said halfway: "You are not recommending Li Mengjiao to be the heroine, but you are recommending yourself to be the screenwriter?"
"No one has more decision-making power than the director about who to choose as the heroine. Since you already have a satisfactory candidate, how can I go against your wishes! But I think you may not have found a suitable screenwriter yet. I know you are
The weight of this circle, you said that if you want to make a new film, there will be many screenwriters willing to participate in this project. There are so many screenwriters who have long been famous or have worked with you before, so you are not short of candidates... But I am confident.
As far as this drama is concerned, none of the great screenwriters are more suitable than me!"
Obviously, the line that made Wen Ying think about it all the way was not how to introduce herself to Lin Wenxuan, but how to convince Lin Wenxuan to let her be the screenwriter of the new film.
The assistant director who came with Wen Ying and the two of them almost had his eyes out of his sockets!
Good guy, you really kept your promise not to mention Li Mengjiao's name. But the assistant director never expected that Wen Ying would recommend herself to Director Lin as a screenwriter without mentioning Li Mengjiao - whether it's a heroine or a screenwriter, you have to get one.
That’s all right, right? This is because Director Lin is addicted to collecting wool by himself.
Lin Wenxuan was also so surprised that he was silent for a minute or two to consider the feasibility of asking Wen Ying to be the screenwriter.
Although Lin Wenxuan doesn't like themes like "Teenage Idol", he must admit that Wen Ying is very good at telling stories.
The film industry has developed for so many years, love and hate love
All themes of hatred have been filmed before. For a movie to be enjoyable to the audience, it depends on how the old-fashioned love and hatred can be made into something new. This is a great test of the director's ability to tell stories.
It’s hard to make a meal out of nothing. The director’s use of the camera to tell stories must also be based on the attractiveness of the script itself. It is very important to have a good screenwriter!
Lin Wenxuan thought a lot in his mind. He looked at Wen Ying again and again, but still shook his head and refused:
"First, it is impossible to pay 5 million for a screenwriter in my project; second, if you become a screenwriter, I am afraid that you will change the character of the 'heroine'!"
Even Lin Wenxuan knew that Wen Ying quoted 5 million for a movie script.
Perhaps other companies are willing to pay 5 million to hire Wen Ying as a screenwriter, but it is impossible for Lin Wenxuan. Lin Wenxuan's own box office appeal is much greater than Wen Ying's, and he does not need Wen Ying to support the movie!
Furthermore, Lin Wenxue felt that he knew Wen Ying’s little thoughts:
If Wen Ying was the screenwriter, he could modify the character of the "heroine". Even a slight adjustment might be able to give Li Mengjiao extra points? Lin Wenxuan would never allow anyone to do such a thing in his crew!
