China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 761: Contradictory Characters

The original version simply talks about how the rich have huge amounts of money, so they have resource advantages and can easily succeed in anything they do.

Then it came to an abrupt end after he inherited a 10 billion inheritance.

If your ambition is to make a comedy, this is enough.

But Li Yu's ambition is not to make a qualified comedy, his ambition is bigger than that.

So he cut out the cheesy love line in the movie.

It's really hard to watch someone give up tens of billions of dollars for a woman.

In Li Yu's script, the plot has progressed about 70% when Wang Duoyu completes the tests of his grandfather and second uncle and becomes eligible to inherit billions of dollars in inheritance.

Erye played the video that his grandfather had recorded in advance to congratulate Wang Duoyu on passing the customs.

Afterwards, Erye handed Wang Duoyu a new videotape and told him, "You can only watch this videotape. It contains your grandfather's lifelong success in business.

Inheriting the estate is only the first step. If you want to pass on the Wang family's wealth from generation to generation, you must listen carefully to your grandfather's teachings."

The moment it was confirmed that he had obtained the inheritance qualification, Wang Duoyu felt elated.

He felt that he had invested recklessly during the previous period and wanted to complete the task of spending as much money as possible.

As a result, the money was not spent, but a lot of money was earned. He is a business genius. What else needs to be taught to him? No one in the world knows how to make money better than him.

After actually getting the inheritance, the irony of human nature is fully demonstrated.

Wang Duoyu fired everyone around him.

Because these people were temporarily hired by him to complete a spending mission, and the security captain brought his security guards to serve as his bodyguards, isn't this nonsense?
Now that he has the inheritance in his hands, he should certainly hire someone more professional.

This business genius wants to use the inheritance left by his grandfather to start his own business. He will invite the best team in the industry to assist him in starting his business and achieve greater success than his grandfather.

Then, he squandered all the inheritance left by his grandfather in just a few years.

He listened to the advice of a professional team and invested hundreds of millions of dollars in a business tycoon who wanted to build a car.

As a result, the boss fled abroad, and the first thing he said after getting off the plane was to tell domestic investors not to worry.

He is just going abroad to do some business and will return home next week after finishing his business.

After squandering all his inheritance, Wang Duoyu finally remembered the videotape and how his grandfather had recorded a video before he died to teach him business experience.

As a result, he discovered that the content of the video clip of his grandfather meant that Wang Duoyu would never be able to spend all the inheritance left by him in his lifetime.

But there is a prerequisite: Wang Duoyu must not start a business.

We are not afraid of the rich second generation squandering their money, but we are afraid of them starting a business seriously and wanting to prove themselves.

This is just Li Yu’s first draft of the script for “The Richest Man in Xihong City”.

By the time the film is actually submitted for review and starts filming, there may be some new changes.

For example, this movie definitely has a heroine, but her role is not as important as in the original version.

"Director Li, your script is quite interesting. The settings and parts seem absurd, but they can actually be found in reality.

If I were to describe it, it might seem absurd at first, but if you think about it carefully, it would seem very real.

Especially when the second generation of rich people squander their family fortune, they lose it all by starting a business. This kind of thing is not uncommon in real life.”

Cao Qing felt that this was already a relatively complete comedy script.

In some places, he could see the flaws.

However, Li Yu is only writing this script when he has free time and when he has inspiration. It is far from the final version, so it is normal to have some bugs.

For example, why Wang Duoyu could make money by spending money recklessly in the early stage, but lost all his fortune when he started a business seriously in the later stage.

If this is not handled properly, the past and the present will be very disconnected. And why did the second master disappear after handing over the grandfather's inheritance to Wang Duoyu?

He never showed up again until Wang Duoyu squandered all his inheritance.

……

Cao Qing and Li Yu discussed the script.

During the discussion, Li Yu also gained a lot of inspiration.

"Where is the heroine? How do you plan to arrange her story line?" Cao Qing asked about the story line between the heroine and Wang Duoyu.

Li Yu did not intend to go with the Mary Sue plot where Wang Duoyu gave up his inheritance for a woman, so he kept the setting that the heroine was a financial person.

Wang Duoyu and Xia Zhu are high school classmates, and Li Yu added this new setting.

It is mainly to link up with "Dream Chasing Movie Circle" many years ago.

Audiences who have watched "Dreaming in the Movie Circle" will smile knowingly when they see the relationship between Wang Duoyu and Xia Zhu as high school classmates.

Isn’t this Charlotte and Qiuya?
In short, the characters are set as high school classmates. Xia Zhu is the goddess in the class and many male classmates like her.

This reasonably explains why Wang Duoyu, who has money, suddenly starts pursuing Xia Zhu.

Xia Zhu is a story about a person who doesn’t love money, but everything that touches her requires money.

Then, after Wang Duoyu squandered all his family fortune, Xia Zhu left him and found a rich boyfriend again.

Facing Wang Duoyu's questioning.

Xia Zhu gave the reason: "I really don't like money, it's just that the person I like happens to be rich."

This may sound a bit contradictory, but it is a good satire on some people.

She said she didn't love money, but impressing her, just like impressing Xia Zhu, would cost a lot of money.

It is true that rich people don't have to spend money to date her, and she is even willing to pay for the rent herself.

This type of people always date rich people.

They claim that they don't love money and never date poor people.

Because what they want is the title of a rich wife, and marrying into a wealthy family is their dream.

For the sake of this title, they can tolerate rich people not spending money on them, their mother-in-law and father-in-law looking down on them and making things difficult for them.

This is the case with some female stars in Hong Kong who married into wealthy families.

I thought that after marrying into a wealthy family, I would no longer have to act in movies.

Even if the other party is a well-known prodigal son, they will still be eager to marry him.

Only after I got married did I realize that her parents were very calculating and would not leave the company to a spendthrift son, but to professionals instead.

Only a living allowance is given to the prodigal son every month.

This living expense may seem like a lot to ordinary people, but it is far less than what actresses earn from filming.

They didn't think about getting a divorce, but suffered at home and had to go back to work to earn money to support the family. Because the fixed monthly living expenses were not enough for the prodigal son to squander, and they were often cheated on by their husbands.

Despite this, they were still very happy. When they thought of themselves as wives of wealthy families, their backs straightened.

After listening to Li Yu's setting for the heroine, Cao Qing gave a thumbs up: "This character is quite interesting, I have a hunch. I don't like money, but everyone I like happens to be rich. This line is likely to become popular after the movie is released. This contradictory and real character can also resonate with and attract many people's discussion."

"Director Cao, stop flattering us. We are brainstorming here, not flattering each other." Li Yu said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
