Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 158 Confidant

After returning home and staying there for three days, Huang Ze felt a little bored, so he drove to Xinghai Company for an inspection.

As soon as he entered the company, Huang Ze found that Wang Jiawei was looking at him frequently.

"I go!"

"Is it too late for me to leave now?"

An ominous premonition came over him, and Huang Ze asked himself in his heart.

It turned out that it was too late to consider.

Huang Ze was still thinking when Wang Jiawei came over with a thick file bag and a flattering smile on his face.

"Director Huang, you're back!"

"Yes, I just got back." Huang Ze had no choice but to answer the question, and his eyes moved to his file bag, "Has the script been revised as I said?"

"It's fixed! There will definitely be no problem this time."

“I even finished storyboarding the shots.”

"Oh? Good performance! Come in." Huang Ze took Wang Jiawei into his office, asked Wang Jiawei to sit down, took the file bag, and started reading the script first.

Um, compared to last time, I have modified it according to the suggestions I gave.

Added some new ideas of my own.

However, for Wang Jiawei's movies, it's the same whether you read the script or not.

Huang Ze could only say, "This script is not bad."

Then I took the storyboard script drawn by Wang Jiawei and started reading it.

The moment he got the storyboard, Huang Ze felt a sense of satisfaction.

Most people probably don’t even know if Wang Jiawei has a script, let alone his storyboard script.

This has really opened my eyes.

turn on.

The painting is okay.

It can't be compared with Xu Yong's martial arts comic-style shot divisions, but it is far better than Jiang's stick figures.

"Why does the character in your storyboard look so much like an actor to me?" Huang Ze asked after flipping two pages.

"It's Zhang Guorong."

Wang Jiawei smiled reservedly, "I think only he can portray the feeling of Ah Fei that I want."

“That faint sadness, the feeling of being adrift.”

"It's not that his acting is that great, there are a few who are better than him, but his face has a melancholy temperament."

"Boss Huang, you must let me find him to act!"

"Don't worry yet."

The storyboard has not been finalized yet, and whether or not to invest in you is another matter!
Worrying about the protagonist, you really worry too much.

Complaining in his heart, Huang Ze looked at the storyboard script and compared it with his memory of "Days of Being Wild".

When I found something different, I couldn’t help but discuss it with Wang Jiawei!
"Do you think it would be more interesting to set up a dance here?"

"Just wear a big white vest, with the vest showing outside, covering your big pants, and twist and turn in front of the mirror!"

Having said that, Huang Ze started to put it into practice. He stood up, pretended to be Ah Fei, and started twisting his body.

He was still humming the tune he remembered.

As soon as the dance ended, Wang Jiawei's eyes widened.

It was as if I had seen something extraordinary.

After a few seconds, they began to applaud vigorously.

"Absolute! Absolutely amazing!"

"Mr. Huang, you are really amazing."

"Stop, stop!" Don't you know that this kind of words plus the sound you make now are too easy to mislead people? Huang Ze walked over to open the office door, looked around, and then sat back in his seat. Wang Jiawei still had a fanatical look on his face at this time, "Boss Huang, I don't know how to describe my mood at this moment."

"The dance you just performed, coupled with the melody, is absolutely perfect for my "Days of Being Wild"."

"A close friend!"

Wang Jiawei held Huang Ze's hand tightly. "I used to think that the saying that a man would die for his friend was ridiculous, but now, I really think it's hard to find a soulmate!"

"From now on, I will only serve Xinghai!"

"Don't do that!" Huang Ze muttered subconsciously.

"Ah?" Wang Jiawei was confused.

"I am a person who can be quite arbitrary sometimes. If I think a film is not suitable, I will not invest in it. This has nothing to do with our relationship. It is a matter of my business philosophy."

"If other companies are willing to invest at this time, or other companies have suitable projects, then you should go there."

“I can sense that you are a very talented director.”

"Then it won't restrict your choices any more."

"No matter where you go in the future, as long as you don't forget that we once worked together when you are successful, that's enough."

Huang Ze patted Wang Jiawei's shoulder solemnly.

My goodness, it’s really hard to take a picture of a tall guy who is 1.9 meters tall.

After patting twice, it still felt awkward, so Huang Ze withdrew his hand.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"I see." Wang Jiawei felt that he had tasted something, "Is Days of Being Wild not good?"

"I haven't finished watching it yet. I mean later, later!" Huang Ze continued to look at the storyboards.

If you encounter something that is different from your previous life, discuss it with Wang Jiawei.

During the first week after returning, basically every time I was in the company, I was discussing shots with Wang Jiawei.

Under Huang Ze's guidance, Wang Jiawei felt that he had been baptized.

"That's exactly what I want."

"Mr. Huang, talking to you about the film really makes me feel like I've been enlightened."

"By the way, is this the legendary Bodhi tree?" Wang Jiawei pointed to a potted plant next to Huang Ze.

“This is a money tree!”

"Hey, I know, it was just a joke." Wang Jiawei put away the storyboard script and said seriously, "Mr. Huang, I think I can do it."

“Everything is ready, only investment is needed.”

"How much investment do you think is needed?" Huang Ze asked.

"I'm going to find a bunch of big stars. The investment won't be low, but Director Huang, don't worry." Wang Jiawei quickly made a promise, "The box office won't be low. There are a bunch of big stars. Just think about it and it's going to be interesting. The audience will definitely be happy to pay for it."

"No! I'm worried!"

"You are only allowed to find Zhang Guorong and at most Zhang Maggie Cheung. For the rest, you should use the cheap and good ones."

"Jiawei, don't you know where your path is?"

"where is it?"

"In Europe!" Huang Ze looked regretful. "The most important thing about making a movie is making money."

“Is it possible to have my own artistic expression?”

"Okay, but movies are a commodity. If you lose money, it will slowly die."

"As for Days of Being Wild, you think the emotions are spot on and the sense of wandering is impeccable, but have you ever thought about the audience? People go to the cinema to have fun and see excitement. I don't appreciate your artistic expression."

"I can guarantee you that even if you bring together Jackie Chan, Sylvester Stallone, and Ti Lung, this movie won't make more than 15 million in Hong Kong, let alone 10 million!"

"Don't think about the box office in Hong Kong or the box office appeal of the stars. That's not what you should consider. What you need to do is find actors with suitable acting skills and looks, and then shoot. I will help your film get into the top three in Europe."

"Okay, give me another quote!"
