Zhang Hong smiled bitterly: "Uncle Wu, I don't drink."
Wu Dingguo nodded, "But either I was hallucinating, or you were talking drunkenly. I definitely didn't hallucinate, so you were definitely drunk."
Zhang Hong sighed and began to explain the whole story.
Wu Dingguo thought thoughtfully, "So you plan to use the additional investment of 10 million I will give you to make some kind of youth musical that will relieve your little cousin's heart, and then use the 30 million to make some shit yourself."
Martial Arts movie?”
The old man couldn't hold back and started swearing.
Are you sure this kid is going to perfunctory him? Are you trying to defraud him of money?
Have your sweet dreams!
"No!" Zhang Hong hurriedly explained, "I am serious about both scripts. I am definitely not fooling around. It's just a small discrepancy in terms of funding."
He raised his left hand, leaving a tiny gap between his index finger and thumb.
"How to say?"
"Well...it's actually 5 million for the High School Musical, and then I want to take 5 million out of it and put it into the martial arts film."
Wu Dingguo thought for a while and said pleasantly: "So I have to pay?"
Zhang Hong nodded: "Yes."
"Another ten million is available?"
"Uh... almost."
"Then you have to take away five million and put it into the budget of another movie, and then our Chinese Film and Television Association hasn't paid any dividends?"
"That's probably what it means."
"Then the hell do I have to show you this musical on CCTV 6?"
"By drawing inferences from one example, you are indeed my Uncle Wu!"
"..." Wu Dingguo laughed angrily, "Do you think I look like a fool?"
"That must not be the case." Zhang Hong said quickly, "You guys should read the script first and then talk~"
Wu Dingguo spread his hands and said, "Bring it here."
Zhang Hong snapped his fingers.
Lin Muqing secretly rolled his eyes.
However, she immediately took out several printed scripts from her bag and gave two copies to each of the main players present.
One is about martial arts, and the other is about High School Musical.
Wu Dingguo first read the script of the Youth Musical. After all, Zhang Hong said that this film would receive support funds and be made into a TV movie to be screened on CCTV.
As soon as you open it, the four characters "Idol Legend" come into view.
Wu Dingguo raised his head and raised his eyebrows, "A film about idols? Are you obsessed with filming a variety show? Or do you have some agreement with the program team that you will make a film to praise the girl group they selected?"
"No, no, this is different from that kind of movie." Zhang Hong urged impatiently, "Just watch it, you guys, take a look first!"
He was very excited at the moment.
This feeling is probably the same as discovering a masterpiece yourself and then eagerly passing it on to others.
For example, in his previous life, he had two author friends who were very good at writing fighting scenes. When he was interviewing, he gave the two friends a taste of "The Story of Foreigners Without an Emperor's Blade", and then watched them praise the music and the fight scenes.
He looked very talkative and felt very happy.
That's probably what it feels like.
The same goes for this script.
After all, he didn't put much thought into this script. It can basically be said that he copied the script of "Saga Idol is Legend" and then slightly changed it to make the setting more in line with the Chinese country in this parallel world.
Wu Dingguo and the others did not speak, and the only sound left in the room was the sound of turning pages.
Turning to the second page, the script tells the story of how a girl named Zhang Yuanying became an idol and formed a girl group.
It's just that this girl was unlucky. She was killed in a car accident two minutes into her appearance.
Yes, two minutes.
In the house, she finished dressing up and was about to go out to participate in the variety show audition of Jixing Video (Zhang Hong wanted to ask Jixing for money). What was playing on the TV was the stage performance of the most popular girl group at the moment.
Then the moment she stepped out onto the road, she was hit by a passing pickup truck.
Wu Dingguo was drinking water, and he spat out the water in one gulp, "Pfft, cough, cough..."
He raised his arm to wipe his mouth and looked at Zhang Hong with a strange look.
Just that "are you fucking kidding me" look.
Forget about the movie about the debut of an idol girl group, he originally thought it was a campus youth musical.
The heroine is a little transparent, bullied and inconspicuous.
But she has a crush on the handsome boy in school.
It turns out there is a pretty girl who also likes the handsome guy (this girl is usually the villain).
Then he bullied the heroine in various ways.
In the end, the heroine worked hard to change herself, and then changed her clothes to become a great beauty, such as taking off her glasses and changing her hairstyle, clothes, etc.
Then, for example, in scenes such as the school's welcome party or graduation party, her performance defeated the beautiful female villain. Not only did she become more popular, but she also gained love.
Generally speaking, isn’t this the usual routine?
If Zhang Hong plans to make this kind of movie to practice his skills, then he can tinker with his own martial arts movie.
Then Wu Dingguo pinched his nose and recognized it.
Anyway, this young director support fund was originally intended for young directors to practice their skills.
But you... what if the heroine dies within two minutes of her appearance?
What to do next?
Is the heroine’s life a revolving door?
Or is it a youth movie series involving frustration, plastic surgery, terminal illness, and abortion?
A talented player like Xiao Hong should not write such a vulgar and vulgar script.
Most people have not experienced that kind of nonsense youth.
This is contradiction for the sake of contradiction.
However, he still trusted Zhang Hong and continued reading.
Afterwards, Zhang Yuanying woke up.
Then she found herself in a dilapidated villa that looked like a haunted house.
Then there are several zombies here.
She escaped.
As a result, he discovered that he had also become a zombie.
Then she lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, she saw a man.
The man didn't explain that much, he just said that young people in small cities are moving to big cities, and the population of small cities is getting smaller and smaller, so he plans to let them form a group and debut as an idol girl group to revitalize the local area.
Yes, they.
Except for Zhang Yuanying, the other scheduled members are actually a few zombies who have not yet regained consciousness.
According to Zhang Hong, they are all legendary figures.
For example, the most popular child star fifteen years ago.
The C member of the most popular girl group ten years ago.
The most popular female singer thirty years ago.
An oiran on the Qinhuai River in the late Ming Dynasty.
There is also the eldest sister of the young and Dangerous boys on campus twenty years ago.
They are all legendary figures who fell like meteors in their prime years.
Also add Zhang Yuanying who has lost her memory.
It's a bit interesting... Wu Dingguo looked at the script much more seriously.
Looking further, he found that on the surface it was a story about the formation of an idol girl group, and on the second level it was a comedy movie. But at the core, it was passionate, unyielding, and a positive and uplifting golden spirit that resisted fate!
Since he fell like a meteor in his best years, he will become a legend again after his death!
After reading the script, Wu Dingguo couldn't help but admire Zhang Hong's imagination.
Coupled with Zhang Hong's songwriting skills demonstrated in "Flags of Our Fathers" and variety shows.
This script...is really exciting!
"I agree." Wu Dingguo said after closing the script, "But you still have to let me see how the martial arts script is. If the script is good, I can promise you to use part of the 10 million support funds for it.
Make that movie."
"Of course." Looking at the other people who were reading the martial arts script, Zhang Hong said with a smile, "You can read it first, and we will discuss it after reading the script."
Wu Dingguo nodded, picked up the second script and opened it.
The first page is the name of the movie - "Sword Rain Xiaoxiang".
He turned to the second page and read the script carefully.
The story begins with a young man named Wu Qiong, who is also the protagonist of the story.
