The fat white man who spoke was none other than Wang Sanri.
After finishing the filming of "God of Gamblers", Wang Sanri got a lot of inspiration and wanted to shoot the sequel of "God of Gamblers".
After the great success of "God of Gamblers", there was a sequelae, which triggered a craze for gambling movies in Hong Kong, including the entire Southeast Asia region.
Countless follow-up works have flocked to the market, such as "The Gambler", "The Gambler", "The Gambler", "The Gambler" and other film and television works, filling the screens of all sizes.
Most of these works are shoddy products, just to make money by following the trend.
Although Wang Sanri is also eager to make money by filming the sequel of "God of Gamblers", since the copyright of "God of Gamblers" belongs to Youlian, Wang Sanri can only prepare his own script according to the requirements of Youlian. Only through Youlian can
Only after the joint approval and project approval can the next step of work be considered.
Unfortunately, his script was dropped immediately.
It is normal for scripts to be rejected. When Wang Sanri writes scripts, he is used to putting old wine in new bottles, or in other words, mixing old wine in new bottles. He likes to change some of the plots and gimmicks he is familiar with and add them to new films. No wonder he is
It's called "Quick Gunner".
However, Youlian did not accept his tactics. The reason why his script was rejected is very clear: "The plot is repetitive, the gimmicks are old-fashioned, lack of new ideas, and it has no filming value."
For this reason, Wang Sanri also complained to Sun Dahai and wanted to use him through the back door.
Sun Dahai knew Wang Sanri's problem and didn't want to talk to him at first. However, seeing that the two had some friendship, Sun Dahai gave him a suggestion and asked him to study the script of Liu Zhenwei's "The Gambler".
Youlian is a formal film and television company, and its review of projects is very strict. Even if a project is approved, the follow-up supervision work will be carried out step by step, with dedicated personnel responsible for it, and we will never relax.
(It seems that Sunglasses King is planning to shoot "Days of Wild" at this time. It doesn't even have a script, but Shadow Hero made 40 million Hong Kong dollars for it. It's really child's play.)
Wang Sanhino is already used to walking the road, and he really can't stand the formal requirements of Youlian.
However, who allowed the copyright to be in the hands of Youlian? Unless Wang Sanri is determined not to touch this series in the future, he must follow the established procedures of Youlian. There is no other way out.
Wang Sanri is now mainly filming for Yongsheng. Both Xiang Qiang and Xiang Sheng value his ability to make money, so they gave him many opportunities.
However, Yongsheng is also very optimistic about the "God of Gamblers" series. Although they do not have the copyright, they still want to cooperate with Youlian to continue the series.
Since the big benefactor was exerting pressure, Fatty Wang had no choice but to endure his temper and write his new script honestly.
As for revising the original manuscript, there is no need to do so. Fatty Wang himself knows that the original manuscript was produced by him to fool others, and there is really no value in revising it.
In this case, Sun Dahai did not let Fatty Wang leave, but took him back to the review team, found the script that Fatty Wang had just submitted, and read it in person.
Sure enough, the name of Fatty Wang's new script is "The Gambler".
Sun Dahai felt happy when he saw this name. Although Sun Dahai's rebirth changed the course of many people and affairs around him, history is always trying to correct it and try to run along the original trajectory.
"I followed Liu Chunwei to participate in the actor audition for the new film. The protagonist he chose in the film, Zhou Xingxing, Zhang Lishi, was very good in performance and had very personal characteristics.
Strictly speaking, Ah Wei's "The God of Gamblers" is very independent. Although some characters and plot settings in the film are related to "The God of Gamblers", it cannot be regarded as a sequel to "The God of Gamblers". If it is released after
If the box office and reputation are good, it can become a movie series on its own.
I was influenced by him, so I created the script "The Gambler". In this script, I also extended some settings from "The Gambler" and "The Gambler" into the new script, making these films
The movies appear to be different branches of an entire series..."
Sun Dahai read the script, while Fatty Wang chattered on at the side, telling his creative intentions and the characteristics of the script.
Movie scripts are actually very simple. If there are no special background settings and storyboards, a few thin pages of manuscript paper are enough.
In his previous life, Sun Dahai had only seen the final film of "The Gambling Man", and he must have never read the script. Therefore, he has read Fatty Wang's script now, and he doesn't know what the difference is from his previous life, but the general content and setting are the same as those in his previous life.
What he remembered was pretty much the same.
Sun Dahai nodded and said: "It looks better than the last script. Whether it can pass the test depends on the decision of the review team. But I will help you get them to give the results as soon as possible."
Fatty Wang knows that this is the procedure for the work of Youlian. Sun Dahai has also said long ago that he retains the right to propose projects and the right to veto, but will not interfere with the specific work of the review team.
Now that Sun Dahai has offered to help him speed up his progress, it can be considered a great support for Fatty Wang.
Sun Dahai ignored him and walked into the review team's workroom. After receiving the message, the review team supervisor Cai Yawen came out to greet him. She was organizing the reviewers to review the script in the conference room.
The review team of Youlian is a loose organization with no fixed personnel. Fixed staff such as Cai Yawen are responsible for administrative management, while the reviewers are part-time and are held by many senior people in the industry.
Uncle Zhan, John Woo, Liu Zhenwei, Cheng Xiaodong, Fa Ge, Leslie Cheung, Simon Yam and other contracted artists of Youlian are all members of the judging panel. Even Zhang Yimou, who is far away in the mainland, also wears this title.
In addition to them, the company also hired some people outside the company to serve as judges. Among them are Li Bihua, Huang Baiming, Tsui Hark, Johnnie To, as well as some film critics and celebrities in the cultural and entertainment industries.
Reviewers are divided into two types: main reviewers and guest reviewers. The reviewers have the final right to discuss and vote on the project, and enjoy certain monthly allowances and benefits, but they must also accept some binding requirements from Youlian.
Guest reviewers have much more freedom. They can ask to participate in the review and ask questions and doubts. However, they do not enter the final stage of the review and do not have the right to vote.
Fatty Wang was actually qualified to join, but he was crazy about accepting films and could not guarantee that the chief judges would participate in the judging at least three times a year. The guest judges did not have the right to vote, which was not very attractive to him. So Fatty Wang did not join, and now he does not
We can only wait for others to review him.
However, even if he becomes a reviewer of Youlian, after submitting his project, he can only accept inquiries and cannot participate in review and voting. There is a principle of avoidance here.
Although there are many reviewers, everyone is very busy every day and it is difficult to get together. Youlian will organize a two-day review meeting at the end of each month. Basically, no more than ten reviewers will be present each time.
, and the number of guest judges is even more uncertain.
