Chapter 653 Another sixth-generation young director
He has just made some achievements, and he is about to change jobs!
Xiying Studio trained you for nothing!
Wu Tianmin was about to scold him when he suddenly realized something was wrong and swallowed the words he was about to say.
I am no longer the director of Xiying Film Studio, but the deputy general manager of Shengshi Film and Television!
Song Tangtang didn't pay attention to Wu Tianmin's expression. She was very happy to hear Wang Quan'an's intention. She immediately welcomed him and said that she could go back to the company to discuss the specific treatment issues in detail.
"Mr. Wu, I am going back to the company now, what about you?" Song Tangtang asked Wu Tianmin.
"Go back first and I'll take a look." Wu Tianmin said.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. If you find any problems, tell me as soon as possible." After Song Tangtang finished speaking, he said to Wang Quan'an: "Let's go back to the company with me."
"Okay. "Mr. Song, I just went to see Chairman Fang, and he promised to let me film "The Piano of Steel"," Wang Quan'an said as he walked.
"Really? My wife agreed?"
"Really, if you don't believe it, you can call Chairman Fang and ask. I originally wanted to shoot "Hello, Mr. Tree", but Chairman Fang asked me to shoot "Steel" "Qin". "
"Since he agrees, just do what he wants. Once you sign the contract with the company, we will arrange the project for the film. "
Watch. The two chatted and finally got into the black Audi. Wu Tianmin sighed softly.
He has never seen "The Piano", but he has heard that it is Fang Minghua's latest masterpiece and has received a good response from the society.
Now that Shengshi Film and Television has the funds, resources, and good scripts to shoot for you, it’s strange that those talented directors don’t come here.
This Wang Quan'an is the first, but definitely not the last.
Wang Quan'an quickly completed the resignation procedures at Xiying Film Studio, joined Shengshi Film and Television, and began to work on his new movie "The Piano of Steel".
This afternoon, Song Tangtang was working on a budget report in his office.
As of now, three movies and one TV series will be shot this year.
They are "Face Changing" directed by Wu Tianmin, "The Piano of Steel" directed by Wang Quan'an, and the movie "Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma Bridge" directed by Zhang Yimou.
This film is adapted from the novel "Fashion Rules" by writer Li Xiao. It tells the story of the feud between the song and dance queen and the gang boss in Shanghai in the 1930s.
The script was written by writers Li Xiao and Bi Feiyu, and Shengshi Film and Television, as the producer, is responsible for investment and distribution.
In addition, a TV series adapted from Fang Minghua’s yet-to-be-published novel "In the Name of the People" will also be produced!
According to the internal discussions between Shengshi Film and Television and Shengshi Books, the novel will be published first, and then the TV series will be launched. However, the script has still been written, and the director and creative team have not been determined, and preparations will not be made until the second half of the year.
Everything comes in time.
At this moment, Xu Juan, the assistant to the general manager and the head of the office of Shengshi Film and Television, gently knocked on her office door.
"Mr. Song, someone is looking for you. It's a director named Wang Xiaoshuai."
Wang Xiaoshuai?
Song Tangtang tried hard to recall that there seemed to be no such person among the directors in the contemporary film and television industry.
However, every year there are dozens or hundreds of directors who graduate from the directing departments of universities such as Yangzhou Opera, Yantai Film and Television, and Shanghai Film and Television University. It is normal that I don’t know them.
“Let him in.”
A few minutes later, a man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a side parted hair walked in under the leadership of Xu Juan.
Very young, very elegant, full of a literary and artistic atmosphere, Song Tangtang felt like a college student.
"Director Wang, please sit down." Song Tangtang greeted politely.
Xu Juan poured the other party a cup of tea and then left. "Director Wang, do you have anything to do with me?" Song Tangtang asked again.
"Mr. Song, I would like to ask you to invest in a new film I am preparing to shoot." Wang Xiaoshuai said.
Huh?
So direct?
Although we at Shengshi Film and Television are very hungry for talent, we wouldn’t just throw money at anyone who comes along, right?
Song Tangtang did not answer directly, but asked: "Can you briefly introduce yourself?"
"I graduated from the Directing Department of Yanjing Film Academy in 1989. This is my Graduation certificate." Wang Xiaoshuai took out a diploma from his schoolbag and placed it on Song Tangtang's boss's desk.
“After I graduated, I was assigned to the Fujian Film Studio, but I resigned last year.”
“Just last year, I made my first movie "Winter" after resigning. "Spring Days" participated in the Vancouver International Film Festival in Canada, the Rotterdam International Film Festival in the Netherlands, the Berlin International Film Festival, etc., and won the Best Director Award at the Smino Art Film Festival in Italy, and the Best Film at the Tessalonian International Film Festival in Greece. Grand Prize. This is my award certificate.”
As Wang Xiaoshuai placed the bright red award certificates on the boss's desk, Song Tangtang looked more and more surprised.
What the hell
When will another young and cutting-edge director appear in China!
Of course, as the boss of a company, you won’t be willing to spend real money immediately after showing your past results. Song Tangtang also heard the difference in the first sentence Wang Xiaoshuai just said:
I am not here to join Shengshi Film and Television, I am just asking you to invest money!
"Director Wang, can I read the script of your new movie?" Song Tangtang asked.
“Okay.”
Wang Xiaoshuai took out a stack of manuscripts from his schoolbag and Song Tangtang looked at them carefully.
The name of the script is "The Cold Season".
It is about a young avant-garde artist named Qi Lei who used a performance art to attract the attention of many media, colleagues and passers-by. The first three parts of the performance art are simulated burial at the beginning of autumn and winter solstice. After completing the simulated drowning on the first day of spring and the symbolic cremation on the first day of spring, Qi Lei declared that as a cruel confrontation with society, he would truly end himself in the last part, when he used up his own body temperature to melt a huge piece of ice on the summer solstice. life
The script is not long, only about 10,000 words. After reading it, Song Tangtang looked a little confused.
"Director Wang, did you write this script, or was it adapted from a novel?"
"It is not an adaptation of a novel. I created it based on a true story from Yanjing University, in which the protagonist Qi There is a real prototype of "Lei"
It turns out that Qi Lei was a student in the stage art department of the Central Academy of Drama, and he jumped from the dormitory of the Central Academy of Drama when he was about to graduate. In the year of his suicide, Wang Xiaoshuai had just been admitted to the Beijing Film Academy. After hearing the news, he went to Yang Opera to learn about the entire incident, and he had the urge to restore the story.
After so many years of preparation, he finally came up with the script.
"Mr. Song, the purpose of writing this script is to answer the question of "whether using death as a price in a work of art is too costly" through images, and to express my feelings about this social event through audio-visual language. Interpretation."
Wang Xiaoshuai finally said.
“Does this make sense?” Song Tangtang asked.
“I think it’s very meaningful.”
A young man with a lot of personality.
A very unique director, including this very unique script.
Song Tangtang pondered for a moment before saying: "Director Wang, let me keep the script here for now, and we will think about it and give you an answer tomorrow morning?"
Wang Xiaoshuai hesitated, but Still agreed.
