Chapter 942 Shocking Kuang Pingzhou

Regarding the director of "In the Name of the People", Huahai Entertainment has actually identified several potential candidates, but they have not yet determined them after many considerations.

When Ye Zhiqiu proposed "Kuang Pingzhou", everyone was a little surprised.

Because this name has been silent in the industry for too long, and there have been no directing works in recent years, it has almost been forgotten.

However, after careful analysis, everyone felt that Kuang Pingzhou seemed to be quite suitable, and could even be said to be one of the most suitable candidates.

After all, "Big Tomorrow", a classic with a score of 9.7 across the Internet, is the best proof.

The only thing that makes people a little worried is that I heard that the director is famous for his strong and stubborn character, and is not the type to communicate well. There have also been cases of falling out with investors because of contrary opinions.

There are many directors with character, but if the other party makes a lot of demands based on their qualifications, Huahai Entertainment may not be able to satisfy them.

However, when Ye Zhiqiu contacted Kuang Pingzhou, the famous director in the industry was extremely polite.

The two communicated smoothly on the phone. After Ye Zhiqiu expressed his interest, Kuang Pingzhou was very enthusiastic and said that he would consider it carefully after reading the script and give a reply as soon as possible.

At the same time, in a certain residence in Shangjing City.

Kuang Pingzhou, who has gray hair, wears flat-rimmed glasses, and has a rather elegant temperament, not like a director, but more like a university professor, was sitting on the sofa in the living room. After putting down his mobile phone, he kept staring at the screen.

In fact, after Ye Zhiqiu sent out the invitation to direct the drama "In the Name of the People", he almost agreed directly.

As for thinking about what you say, it's just a pretense to avoid appearing too eager.

He wanted to direct this play, which was naturally because Li Guojing had "understood everything" in advance. He still had great trust in his old classmate's judgment of the script.

But more importantly, Kuang Pingzhou himself has long wanted to make a comeback, or in other words, he has been waiting for this opportunity.

In the eyes of outsiders, he, Kuang Pingzhou, is an example of an old-school director who would rather do nothing than make a bad film, and strive for excellence.

But times have changed now. When investors invest in a work, they all value short-term returns and quick returns. How can they still allow you to grind as slowly as you did ten years ago?

It's okay to say that you have really created a classic. If it fails, no money will be made and time will pass. No investor is willing to take this risk.

In this regard, Kuang Pingzhou feels that he is quite wronged. He admits that he does like to "pick out details" when directing, and his requirements for actors are also higher, but isn't this the basic pursuit of a work?

You give me a bunch of great actors, investors, don’t randomly add newcomers who haven’t taken a few acting classes, and see if I’m efficient?

But the "fame" has spread, and for various reasons, Kuang Pingzhou has received fewer and fewer drama offers in the past few years.

In fact, people who are meticulous about their work usually have some "workaholic" attributes, and Kuang Pingzhou is no exception.

For a "workaholic" director, his hands have become itchy and uncomfortable after not filming for three years. Now that he encounters such a suitable opportunity, he naturally has to seize it quickly.

If I don't come out of the mountain, I'm afraid I will really retire.

While he was thinking, his cell phone beeped. Kuang Pingzhou looked at the screen, but it was Ye Zhiqiu who had just added a friend who sent a document.

It is the script of "In the Name of the People". Of course, it is only a part of it. Kuang Pingzhou, the director, will only get the entire script after the two parties formally reach a cooperation intention.

Kuang Pingzhou quickly adjusted his glasses and clicked to open the document.

In fact, he had some doubts about his old classmate Li Guojing's strong praise of the show last night.

Although I have done a lot of homework in advance and have studied many of Ye Zhiqiu's works, I know that his level is high, but my ears are not my ears and my eyes are my eyes. There are some things that I still have to see for myself.

With a scrutinizing attitude, Kuang Pingzhou glanced at the title of "In the Name of the People" and continued reading.

The story begins when the procuratorate receives a real-name report and launches an investigation into a senior official named Zhao Dehan.

A tiger hunt?Kuang Pingzhou nodded secretly in his heart. This has been a hot topic that the news media and all walks of life have paid close attention to in recent years. The plot is cut from this angle, and it can indeed achieve the effect of quickly arousing the audience's resonance at the beginning.

But finding the entry point is only the first step. After attracting the audience's attention, how to make them continue watching is the test of the screenwriter's skill...

The living room fell into silence, and Kuang Pingzhou looked down without saying a word.

Gradually, his eyes changed from initial inspection, to confusion, to surprise and realization, and finally, his expression turned out to be completely addicted.

Nearly an hour later, Kuang Pingzhou's expression froze and he stared blankly at the blank page on the screen.

Gone!

Ye Zhiqiu sent only part of the script, and before he knew it, he had already read it!

Kuang Pingzhou's face looked as if he was constipated. He suddenly stopped watching the most exciting part of the drama, and felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching his head.

Kuang Pingzhou let out a long breath, his emotions slightly removed from the wonderful plot, but his heart was extremely shocked.

Even though he had a premonition in his heart, the excellence of this script still far exceeded his imagination. At this time, the only thought in his mind was:

Could this really be written by a young man in his 20s?

What is reflected in written works is closely related to the author's own knowledge and experience. Kuang Pingzhou feels that the drama's depiction of human nature and psychology is so sophisticated that most people of his age cannot do it. What's more, it was written by a young man.

Are there really geniuses in the world?Kuang Pingzhou was deeply puzzled. At this time, he finally understood why Li Guojing said, "If I miss directing this film, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Thinking of this, Kuang Pingzhou reacted and quickly picked up his mobile phone and dialed Ye Zhiqiu's number.

"I'll take this drama!" Kuang Pingzhou stopped pretending at all.

Ye Zhiqiu, who was opposite him, seemed not surprised by his answer and said with a smile: "Welcome Director Kuang to join the crew of "In the Name of the People". It will be a pleasure to work with you."

"Thank you, happy cooperation." After making the decision, Kuang Pingzhou immediately asked: "When can the contract be signed? I'm free, even tomorrow."

"Zhiqiu, are you in Beijing now? Where exactly? How about we meet tomorrow? There happens to be something in the plot that I would like to ask..."

Ye Zhiqiu thought about it for a while, but refused: "I'm afraid I can't do it tomorrow. I have to attend the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, so why not the day after tomorrow."

"There are still a few days until the New Year. If it's inconvenient for you, you can just sign the contract after the New Year. There's no rush for these few days."

Kuang Pingzhou was stunned and said repeatedly: "Convenient, convenient, then the day after tomorrow..."

The two agreed on a time and place and hung up the phone.

At this time, Kuang Pingzhou was thinking about this.

You are not in a hurry, I am in a hurry!

Just now, he almost wanted Ye Zhiqiu to send over the entire script, but he finally held back...
