Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 10: Chicken soup is sweet, nourishing and not greasy

Over an hour later, under beautiful weather and a breathtaking sea view, the cameo scenes featuring Andy Lau and Joey Wong were completely filmed. Li Wenyu quickly reached the spot where the two stars were boarding the boat and gave Andy Lau a hand. "Brother Hua, thank you so much! You're such a shining figure in the entertainment industry. Feel free to call me if you need anything in the future."

Brother Hua and Sister Xian are giving Brother Rong face...

But as a director, he should be grateful for having these two appear in his first work. Liu Dehua stood up and took the towel to wipe the water. "It's a small matter. You are a director that Brother Rong is optimistic about. I might even rely on you to start a film in the future to make a living."

"However, next time, Ayu, if you have a good script and need investment, you can contact me. Whether I invest in your filming or buy out the script, the price I offer will definitely not be worse than Brother Rong's."

Elsewhere, Wang Jinghua and Li Bingbing helped Wang Zuxian onto the boat. Sister Xian also smiled and said, "Director Li, I don't know how talented you are, but since Brother Hua and Brother Rong think so highly of you, there's definitely a place for you in our film industry. Feel free to contact me next time you have something good to offer."

At this stage, Joey Wong is still on and off with the great singer Qi, and has not completely broken up and retired.

Apart from the Dream of the Red Chamber, which she collaborated with A-Zu at the beginning of the year, she also filmed the movie "Beautiful Shanghai" in 04 before retiring. Is she being polite, a commercial compliment, or something else? Most likely, it's a commercial compliment.

Li Wenyu laughed and said, "Since you all say so, then I will really take out a script and give it a try. I won't direct it. Brother Hua, if you are interested and the price is right, I will sell it to you and I will make a quick buck."

Liu Dehua was surprised, "You really are a quick shooter, so fast?"

Everyone else, including Fat Bing who had just boarded the boat, looked disheveled.

Before leaving this morning, he was still talking about planning the next project, which might be a crime film with a male ensemble cast. I'm not sure. Did he sell this new script directly to Liu Dehua?

Li Wenyu continued to smile, "I have a new idea in my head. Brother Hua, give me half a month. I will go back to the hotel to work overtime after the filming. You can pay me whatever you are willing to pay me then. As long as you are not as stingy as Mr. Shao, I still hope to have a pleasant cooperation."

Liu Dehua and Wang Zuxian almost burst out laughing. Brother Hua muttered, "Will you spread this? Forget it. Mr. Shao is almost 100 years old. He doesn't have time to argue with a young man like you."

Wang Zuxian also said, "Then I'll come over in half a month to take a look at the script. As long as a man has talent, people will always be curious."

She is about to turn 35, and it was purely because of the high praise given to the seaside Tsuen Wan by Zhang Guorong and Wang Jiaerdongsheng in sunglasses that made her curious about the talent of the young director.

Li Wenyu smiled and stretched out his hand to high-five Liu Dehua!

…………

Time flies to July 10th.

In a hotel suite in Hong Kong Island, Li Wenyu was typing out a movie script on his computer at his desk. Pang Bing hugged him from behind, his face excited, "Where are you at? Let me see..."

The new script I agreed with Liu Dehua half a month ago is about to expire.

Fat Bing... She had her own private guest room on the crew, but half a month ago on the night of the 23rd, after dinner, she had a dinner with Brother Hua, Sister Xian, Li Bingbing and others. After that, Li Wenyu returned to the hotel to work hard to sell the new script.

After knocking on the door, Pang Bing insisted on watching him write a script. They had been cuddling and kissing each other for nearly a month, and that night she was the one who finally let it go. It was a natural progression.

Even after being reborn, Li Wenyu's driving attribute of 65 points inherited from his previous life is not high. The problem is that his fitness has reached 86 points, which is definitely a national team level of physical fitness and comprehensive development.

Due to his lack of skills, Li Wenyu only has deep feelings for Pang Bing.

If he wasn't afraid of delaying the filming of The Shallows, he could confidently say that if you offend him, you won't be able to start the filming successfully.

He used the attribute points he accumulated in the past two weeks to increase Pang Bing's acting skills to 73 points, and used the rest to increase his directing and screenwriting abilities.

Host: Li Wenyu
Screenwriter, (75/100).

Director, (72/100).

Fitness, (86/100). Driving, (67/100).

Driving, (68/100).

……

There is no attribute point increase in driving, it is simply that she becomes stronger naturally by eating more fat ice, just like her surfing level has reached level 65 through her continuous surfing practice every day.

Young people can improve their abilities step by step if they study hard and practice diligently.

It was still early, only 7 a.m. on the 6th. Li Wenyu carried Pang Bing as if he had carried her from the water to the yacht hundreds of times, and started working hard in the morning.

The new script he wrote these days is for the movie "Wonder", but he doesn't expect it to make much money. He mainly wants to make connections with King Liu and arrange the next role for Pang Bing.

It was released in the United States in 2018, grossing $1.32 million in the US alone and 1.8 million RMB in China. It was also nominated for Best Makeup at the 90th Academy Awards.

Only nominated for Best Makeup.

The investment cost is not high, and the whole play is just about the actors' acting skills.

The original version achieved this success because it was adapted from a best-selling book. Since its publication in 2012, the original novel has won not only the Mark Twain Award in the novel industry, but also the American International Reading Association Teacher Recommendation Award, the American Parent-Child Publishing Award Gold Award and a series of other honors.

It topped the children's book bestseller list for 120 consecutive weeks after its publication and remained at the top of the list for over 400 weeks.

The story tells of a little boy who was born with a congenital disease. As he grew up, he underwent repeated surgeries to treat the disease, leaving him unrecognizable. When he grew up, he had to wear an astronaut helmet when going out for fear of scaring others and attracting too much attention, ridicule, etc.

As the boy grew older, his parents could not keep up with the pace of society by educating him at home, so they had to try to send him to a public school.

This is a chicken soup book and movie about a child with congenital defects who, with the help of his parents, sister, teacher and friends, finds confidence and lives a fulfilling life from being a freak.

With a series of themes such as chicken soup, touching, warm, and healing, it is a textbook example of a family inspirational film. This bowl of chicken soup is a bit sweet, but it has a sweet but not greasy, heartwarming and wonderful taste.

Li Wenyu has improved his directing and screenwriting abilities to over 70. This is not only to make his work more perfect and localized, but also to prepare for other projects in the future. He cannot just be a passing director.

He has never read the original book, nor does he have the ability to expand the film into a restoration of the classic book that has been at the top of the bestseller list for more than 400 weeks, but starting from the movie... his parents and sister use their love to encourage the child with congenital defects to start a new life.

Chicken soup is sweet and nutritious.

Especially in the early 21st century, when chicken soup for the soul was more popular in mainland China than against it, this film... was okay. He himself was not a director, but sold it to curry favor.

King Liu gave 2000 or yuan and arranged for Pang Bing to play the second or third female lead. The investment was not large and the shooting cycle was fast. It seemed that there was a good chance of reaching million yuan at the box office in Hong Kong and the Mainland.

Without the bonus of the original book, the expectations are just like this, and the best we can hope for in terms of sales is one or two million dollars in Europe and the United States.

…………

Half an hour later, Fat Bing kicked Li Wenyu away with a look of disgust. "You're an animal. You've delayed my morning exercise again. If people laugh at my poor acting skills in the future, it's all your fault..."

Her acting skills were 69 when she joined the crew, and now it is 73. With various polishing day by day, she found that her acting skills have improved a lot, including her lines and so on.

This discovery surprised Pang Bing immensely. She began to suspect that she was actually a lucky talent like Zhou Xun, but her talent had not been discovered before.
