billion box office tycoon

In the silent night, only the chirping of insects that belonged to summer came from outside the window, accompanied by a few wisps of fragrance from the sweet-scented osmanthus tree downstairs, pouring into Ye Weilin's senses who had been keeping a certain posture still.

As if woken up, he rubbed his sore shoulders, his eyes still lingering on the opened script on the table.

This is the script of "North and South". Before he decided to shoot "Song Manting", this script was favored by him. It was adapted from a novel, and its content was about marginal subjects about homosexuality. Huang Bo, a popular pioneer writer, is unique in the relatively conservative literary world of the last century. He is not only known for his sharp writing style, but also has his own style of writing. Each of his novels has a certain absurd color. The reality is heavy but there is no lack of romance and hope.

The novel "North and South" is no exception. When it was published, it caused a sensation and controversy. It was once listed as a prohibited publication. It was not until decades later in modern times that it became "" Bible".

Therefore, this novel is very famous, and there is never a shortage of people who want to put it on the screen. However, due to Huang Bo's early death, the collection of works left behind is kept by his wife, and his wife cherishes Huang Bo's work very much. Works, easily refused to sell the copyright, and also requested that if it was to be adapted into a film and television, she must be the screenwriter.

After procrastinating and procrastinating, he was finally contacted by Xingyu Century, and now the project has been approved.

On behalf of the producer, the script and funds are already in place, the only thing left is the director.

Before "Song Manting" was filmed, such a purely literary film would never be entrusted to him to direct. After all, this type of film is clearly for awards, and it is not expected to bring a certain amount of box office revenue. But since "Song Man Ting" was nominated in Cannes, not only won an international actress, but also won a billion box office for Xingyu, Ye Weilin's position is no longer to choose the remaining scripts to shoot, he has the privilege to choose what he wants Whether it is a commercial film or a literary film.

"...When I was 16 years old, my mind was full of women's white thighs and skin. Especially when I saw Li Qing, I always burst into some novel and exciting fantasies. A pair of soft and round A woman's nipples grew on his chest, and the corners of his wide mouth were sucking popsicles, and at the same time showing his self-righteous and shy smile..."

Seeing that the script was almost full of long paragraphs of inner monologue, Ye Weilin couldn't help but sighed, such a script must not work.

However, the author's wife insisted that these should not be deleted from the script, because she believed that these monologues are the highlights.

After putting away the script of "North and South", Ye Weilin finally turned his attention to another bound book that had been lying quietly on the desk.

It was the script "Happy Face" that he handed over to himself after meeting Fu Qi last week.

"Happy Face" tells a story that looks like a comedy but is actually absurd and cruel. The heroine Liu Hua lived in a remote village in the southwest since she was a child. The poor family background and the feudal ideology of patriarchy made Liu Hua never receive education. After he had menarche at the age of 13, he was betrothed by his family to the disabled son of the secretary of the village party committee.

Liu Hua was unwilling to endure such hardship for the rest of her life. When she was 16 years old, she decided to flee the village, so she contacted the well-connected sister-in-law of the Wang family who often went out of the neighboring village. The latter made an appointment with her and took her out of the village.

Looking at the wide concrete streets and the bustling crowds in the city, Liu Hua was very happy, but at this moment, Mrs. Wang showed her true face and took her to a richly decorated place, which is a well-known local trick/ Liu Hua, who was only [-] years old, was sold in a muddle-headed way in the prostitution market.

If the rest of the story is how Liu Hua struggled miserably in the entertainment field, it would inevitably fall into a cliché, and it would not meet the definition of scripted comedy.

Because Liu Hua is illiterate and does not know a single word, and has never received any education about "sex", she has gradually become indifferent to her situation from being reluctant at the beginning, and even feels that such a job is not bad. , have food, drink and money, without spending a lot of effort, let alone doing rough work under the scorching sun from morning to night like before.

Liu Hua felt in her heart that since such a good thing happened to her in the sky, she could not live up to this luck, so she worked very hard to learn how to please these "customers" and painstakingly studied the technology, not only creating her own She provided a set of special services that other girls did not have, and single-handedly drove the passenger flow of Huanchang, which had not fluctuated greatly for many years.

Liu Hua's outstanding performance has attracted the great attention of the boss. With a swipe of the pen, the boss decided to promote Liu Hua to the manager, who is responsible for connecting with customers and does not need to be on the front line. But to everyone's surprise, Liu Hua declined. I told my boss that my professional ability still needs to be improved, and it would not be too late to get promoted after a year or two of training.

After uttering these eye-catching remarks, Liu Hua became famous, not only attracting people in the industry to come to watch, but even customers came here admiringly, which indirectly drove a lot of traffic. The boss counted the money for fun. He didn't bother to take care of her anymore.

On a night of feasting and feasting, but extremely unusual, Liu Hua took a fancy to a man.Rather than being called a man, that man is better described as a boy. He is only twenty, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, with a sunny smile on his young and handsome face, quite bookish, Liu Hua He took the initiative to strive to serve the other party, and after the spring breeze, he asked for the other party's contact information.

The two started dating endlessly. Although each date was on the bed in the hotel, and Liu spent even the overnight fee, in her opinion, they were a husband and wife relationship that would have children in the future.Until one day, the boy disappeared and the number could not be reached. Liu Hua found out from other sources that the boy lived in a big city and was also studying in a big city. He only went back to his relatives in his hometown to play because the school was on holiday, and he left when the time came. .

Liu Hua couldn't figure out why the boy who was still gluey the night before would leave him. After weighing it, she felt that the girl resigned to the boss on the grounds that family was more important.

If it was useful to resign in Huanchang, Liu Hua would not have been sold there by Mrs. Wang.Liu Hua, who failed to resign, was very reconciled. After knocking out a client, she fled with the money. Although Liu Hua, without any identification, could not leave immediately by means of transportation, she escaped the search by accident.

Along the way, Liu Hua, who has an optimistic personality and lacks some common sense in life, encounters many things that embarrass her in her eyes but are ridiculous in the eyes of others, and she finally makes it to the big city where the boy lives.

With a few simple clues, Liu Hua found the boy's school, but there were so many people in the school, she had to stand at the gate of the school, just like the soldiers at Wanggang, and stood firm all the time.

After waiting like this for nearly half a month, she finally saw the boy, but at this time the boy was holding the arm of a beautiful girl, walking intimately, Liu Hua became angry, and she rushed up——

"Brother, are you there?" The young male voice from outside the door rang simultaneously with the knock on the door, successfully interrupting Ye Weilin's reading of the script at hand.

He rubbed the space between his brows, put the script back, closed his slightly dry eyes, and replied, "Come in."

After Yin Lan pushed open the door, this was the scene that greeted her eyes. The man was wearing a comfortable striped cotton pajamas. His body, which had become much thinner due to the high-intensity work hours, was sunk deep on the soft cushion, with one leg curled up. Standing up, the other leg is stretched, wantonly revealing the master's relaxation when he is tired.

His eyes were uncontrollably attracted by the man's closed eyes, he licked his somewhat dry lips, suppressed a sudden desire in his heart, and calmly said: "Brother, I passed the "Soul Lover" directed by Ryan. "Casting," he paused, then continued: "Actor."

Ye Weilin suddenly opened his eyes, full of surprise: "Ryan Baum's "The Loved One"?"

Yin Lan nodded, and said softly: "Yes, when Director Ryan was looking for an Asian boy for his new film, the company tried to pass me my resume, but unexpectedly I got the chance to audition. "

Ryan Baum is a well-known Jewish director who is active in the Hollywood film factory. He can not only make the well-received and well-received "Crazy City" comedy series, but also the unique and typical American inspirational film "Generous Uncle Sam". Although the box office of the films he handled was very good, it was a pity that he never won the best Oscar award. This director did not hide his ambition at all. After making enough commercial films, he finally extended his tentacles to the field of literary films .

"The Man I Like" was originally called "The Black-haired Servant", which is a famous semi-documentary novel in the European literary world in the last century. The story of a householder who saw him and took him to his own manor as a manservant.

Ye Weilin studied Ryan Baum's film project when he was an elective course in college. Coincidentally, he also participated in the stage play of "The Black-haired Servant" in his junior year.

"I know that my brother has done some research on director Ryan's style, and has also rehearsed stage plays related to movies. I don't want to waste this rare opportunity. If my brother is free, can you give me some guidance and advice?"

Because of the last confession incident, Ye Weilin has been intentionally or unintentionally staggering the meeting time with Yin Lan recently, hoping to use time to dilute the other party's emotions, but this does not mean that his concern for Yin Lan has weakened. When he explained how to win the audition opportunity in one sentence, he knew that it was not easy.

Although the male protagonist of "The Loved One" must be an Asian, there is no shortage of Asians in Hollywood. Moreover, with the influence of director Ryan, let alone young domestic actors, even outstanding actors from Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Thailand They have also joined the list of candidates one after another. Yin Lan, who has no other works except "The Phantom of Hometown", won the leading actor in the audition of masters like clouds.

As the same director, Ye Weilin knows that even if the lead actor of a movie succeeds in the audition, he will secretly keep backups in case the lead actor has various accidents, such as personal safety accidents, such as the more common... substitution accident.

As long as the film is not wasted too much, if the leading actor is not in good condition and has too many NGs in the play, he will be replaced at any time.Of course, if the filming progress is more than halfway through, the director has no choice but to admit that he is unlucky when encountering such a thing.

Such a rare opportunity, not to mention Yin Lan asking for it, even if he didn't ask, Ye Weilin would take the initiative to offer help, and it was absolutely impossible to refuse.

Hearing the unsurprisingly "good" from the other party, as well as those happy eyes, Yin Lan finally showed a smile that she seldom showed in recent days, as if she was muttering softly: "Brother treats me so well." Always... that good."
