Become a dramatist from today

After a few days of rest in China, Huang Baiyou suddenly discovered that he only had one script in his hand.

Currently there are only clown's reward tasks.

"I'm not used to it. I used to do one script after another." Huang Baiyou stretched.

It's still early for The Dark Knight to join the cast, and the leading actors haven't been found yet, so there's no rush to complete the work.

"Would you like to treat yourself to a big meal today?" Daily entertainment is very casual, as long as you don't overeat.

After all, if you eat too much and want to lose weight when joining a group, doing it too quickly will harm your body.

Huang Baiyou's arrangements were interrupted by a sudden phone call. The caller was Yu Mo.

"Have time."

"Is it okay to go to the theater?"

"Let's meet in Nanhui."

After a few words and hanging up the phone, Huang Baiyou thought, "What's wrong with Director Yu?"

The phone call just now was weak, as if it had been glued a dozen times, and the tone didn't sound like he had an appetite, so Huang Baiyou made an appointment to watch a drama.

Behind Truman is Ji Sha, and Huang Baiyou really hasn’t paid much attention to China for a long time. After searching online——

"I probably know, Director Yu is not feeling well right now."

After "Thirteen Sons of the South China Sea", Yu Mo filmed three films. The first one was a commercial film, which made a small profit.

Last year, a youth school drama was a bit of a loss, and Yu Mo didn't take it seriously. It happened that Huang Baiyou was exposed to a sudden hearing loss, and he even helped with a divination and sent text messages to comfort him.

At the same time, the management did not take it seriously, because it was not the genre that Director Yu was good at. The new work returned to the Cantonese opera theme that he is best at.

With a total investment of 270 million yuan, he filmed "Eighty Books of Jianghu".

People who don’t know Cantonese opera might think it’s a martial arts film based on the title, but it’s actually about the most glorious era of Cantonese opera.

It was the silent film era, and the films were in black and white and there was no sound, so Cantonese opera had a larger audience.

At that time, there were thirty-six famous theater troupes, as well as various female troupes, mountain climbing troupes, etc. Anyway, they were particularly brilliant.

The script written by Yu Mo, his own thoughts are as follows, "One Jiang Yuliu can win a house full of applause, then the more glorious ones in the history of Cantonese opera, Jin Shan Bing, She Zai Li, Liang Fen, Xiao Qingwen, etc., the stars are bright, not yet More beautiful?"

During this year's Labor Day, "Eighty Books" was released, with a box office of about 70 million... This box office is due to the fact that many viewers went there for the title of the new film directed by Nanhai Jusanro.

It’s typical not to know what the audience likes to watch. Are the audience interested in Cantonese opera?

"The Thirteenth Man of the South China Sea" is said to be a life of a genius. To put it more bluntly, Jiang Yuliu is not a Cantonese opera script writer. If he is a Peking opera script writer, it will not have any impact on watching the movie.

"The box office split is estimated to be only 20 million yuan. Even if the investment of more than 200 million yuan is watery, there must be 150 million yuan. I am afraid that the main investment company will go bankrupt."

There is a more critical point that Huang Baiyou didn't mention. "Eighty Books of Jianghu" is also a Cantonese opera theme. This time he rushed to the street, which was equivalent to Yu Mo himself overturning his own job.

It is an exaggeration to say that there will be no filming in the future. Yu Mo can still shoot at a small cost in the industry, but he needs to increase investment...

After changing into comfortable and loose clothes, the scarf around his neck covered most of his face, and he wore a woolen hat so that he no longer had to cover up. Huang Baiyou only had the outer third of his face exposed, making him unrecognizable.

In the middle of winter, Huang Baiyou was not used to driving by himself, so he called an online car-hailing service. He was on vacation and didn't want to call Brother Gu.

In the car, Huang Baiyou found 80 books from Jianghu to watch. Popular movies would be released on the Internet very late, but street movies would be sold quickly to make money.

"If you are a fan of Cantonese opera, this film will definitely be a favorite because there are so many famous Cantonese opera actors on stage."

"I'm not a Cantonese opera fan..."

My thoughts after watching Huang Baiyou: It’s a good movie, but not a good commercial film. The subject matter is too niche.

I write novels with certain authors, just for my own enjoyment, without thinking about the subject matter at all.

"Man, you look familiar. Are you a celebrity?" The driver looked at the rearview mirror from time to time.

After a sudden greeting, Huang Baiyou asked, "Master, do you think I look like a star?"

The rhetorical question made the driver think that he had met a celebrity. He still said, "The eyes look a bit like that star who is very good at acting, that very old and very young movie king. What is his name? I forgot his name as he spoke. ."

Reflecting from the side, Huang Baiyou's public recognition is quite good. He is very old and very young. There is no sense of violation when such misunderstood and contradictory words appear on him.

He may be young, but his acting skills are those of a seasoned actor.

Huang Baiyou, who had a smile on his face, heard the driver say, "His name is very unique and a bit unpleasant. Why can't he call him right?"

…

Nanhui Co-creation is a very stylish second-hand bookstore. Yu Mo introduced it to Huang, who would come here to try his luck if he wanted to find out-of-print information books.

The agreed time was a quarter past four, and Yu Mo arrived early. Huang Baiyou glanced over and saw it.

The public's awareness of directors is really low, unless they are Pei Wen and Cen He, so Yu Mo doesn't have to worry about being recognized when he goes out.

I didn't feel that Director Yu was thin, but what Huang Baiyou intuitively felt was that Yu Mo had a big belly, an obvious beer belly.

"Let's go. I've booked the tickets. There's going to be a good show today." Huang Bai said.

"It's been a long time since I went to the theater." Yu Mo said.

The two of them went to the theater together. What they saw specifically was not the point. The point was what Yu Mo said during the intermission.

When saying something that is difficult to say, there is always some preparation, such as drinking for three rounds, or pretending to reveal it casually.

The foreshadowing of Yu Mo's revelation comes from "The stage just now asked where love comes from... The moon is close to the earth, the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Cancer, the monsoon brings moisture from the ocean to lubricate your skin, and the low pressure formed in Mongolia makes you The heart beats faster, what a good phrase, love is not that important in real life."

"Because it is rare, I yearn for the unforgettable love in film and television works." Huang Baiyou added.

"Love in film and television works is really difficult to deal with." Yu Mo sighed, "My last work "Eighty Books of Jianghu" was a mess."

"It's not easy to get around." Yu Mo said, "There is no place to go. Bai You, do you have any good way out? Can you introduce one to me?"

As soon as these words came out, Huang Baiyou understood Yu Dao's purpose.

"There are many places to go." Huang Baiyou said, "I have opened a small company. Director Yu, would you like to come over and give me a try?"

small company? Yu Mo is an insider, and he will be the first to complain to anyone who dares to treat Daydream Film and Television as a small company.

"Bai You, are you serious? I am now..." Yu Mo hesitated.

"I have worked with Director Yu. Apart from being a bit superstitious, Director Yu is impeccable as a director." Huang Baiyou asked, "Does Director Yu have any plans for his next work?"

"Indeed, I am just worried that I will make the same mistake again." Yu Mo said.

Unable to attract large investments, Yu Mo was unwilling to shoot at a low cost, so he wanted to join a film company to raise money to start a new film.

To say "commitment" is a bit exaggerated, but if you have a choice, freedom is definitely good. There are always certain disadvantages to signing a contract with a company.

"How could it be possible," Huang Bai said, "I believe Director Yu will not fall in the same place twice. Does the script contain it? I am very curious."

"Yes." Yu Mo took out the script from his little black bag and handed it over, adding, "This time I want to write a story about Peking Opera."

After Cantonese opera, will you start Peking opera? Said it got into trouble with drama.

If the script is not commercial enough, Huang Baiyou will also give suggestions.

He thought this way, and the moment he got the script, he received the task of acting as a reward——

[Whether to use 160,000 popularity points to start the reward mission for the character Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine". ]

I'll listen to people's advice to eat enough, make some adjustments, and act in more domestic movies, and I'll also choose a few classics from abroad.

I want to update more, so I set a goal for myself, three updates a day (6k). When the market opens, I can hold on for a few days. I hold on for more than ten days and get two monthly tickets.
