The tranquility of Yonghegong Street was broken by a blast of whistles.
Citroen stopped steadily at the door of the "World of Reasoning" editorial office, and Fang Yan and Gong Yue got out of the car.
At this moment, Shi Tiesheng, Wang Shuo, Zhong Acheng, Lu Haiyan, Chen Ximi and others gathered together, talking and laughing.
“Hey, Teacher Fang!”
Seeing Fang Yan and Gong Cie, everyone’s faces were filled with enthusiasm and they greeted each other one after another.
Wang Shuo said with a playful smile: "Teacher Fang, you summoned us here so early in the morning. There must be something important, right?"
"I took on a few big jobs in Xiangjiang this time."< br>
Dialect stretched out 3 fingers.
Wang Shuo, Lu Haiyan and others were all surprised when they heard "Xiangjiang" and saw the three fingers he gestured with.
“Two are from Jiahe, and the remaining one is from Shaw Brothers.”
Fang Yan sat down and briefly introduced the general situation and requirements of the script.
"This is indeed a big deal, but Teacher Fang, we have never written a script for an entertainment film. We are all new recruits."
Wang Shuo's face was full of embarrassment. .
Zhong Acheng echoed: "I'm afraid only Haiyan can help with the 'cop film' you just talked about."
"Neither can I." Lu Haiyan shook his head and said : "I can help Teacher Fang with a police and criminal investigation novel like "Crime Unit", but if it's a script..."
Fang Yan smiled, ""Police Story" is a spin-off series of "Crime Squad". You must participate in this book."
Wang Shuo opened his mouth: "Teacher Fang, then we..."
Fang Yan raised his hand to interrupt, then took out a thin piece of manuscript paper from his briefcase and divided the work for them one by one. "Police Story" and "Die Hard" belong to him, Chung Acheng and Shi Tiesheng, while Shaw Brothers' movie scripts belong to him. Wang Shuohe himself will be responsible.
"Yanzi, if you let me help you, that's no problem."
Shi Tiesheng took over "Die Hard" and turned it over, "But I have something to say first, I really mean entertainment movies. "
Zhong Acheng also replied "Me too", but he didn't expect that Fang Yan and Gong Cie came prepared and handed over books one after another.
"Hero with a Thousand Faces", "Guidelines for the Use of 'Hero with a Thousand Faces'", "Creation Standards for Movie Scripts"...
Wang Shuo was speechless after seeing so many booklets. "This is?"
Gong Cong explained with a smile that most of these are movie script guides written in dialects. They have been on the New York Times bestseller list. Even Hollywood producers, directors and screenwriters regard them as treasures and try to learn from them. The essence and mystery of it.
“I have already written the story outlines and character relationships of Die Hard and Police Story.”
Fang Yan said: "Next, we just need to fill the skeleton with flesh and blood according to the above theory, and the first draft will be completed."
Wang Shuo was surprised, "Teacher Fang, you have such a good treasure, Why didn't it come out?"
Shi Tiesheng was also puzzled, "Yes, newspapers these days are full of reports and comments about your views on entertainment films, but you have never been mentioned in them. What I wrote Guidelines."
"This is my plan. After I have liberated my mind on entertainment films, I will let the Humanities Society publish these guidebooks."
Fang Yan said: "For now. As the studio's internal learning materials, you should carefully study and apply what you have learned in "Police Story" and "Die Hard". Won't you slowly learn the scripts of this entertainment film? "< br>
Shi Tiesheng was overjoyed and said: "This is called 'theory combined with practice'!" "Entertainment films are still blank in the domestic film market. I guess there are not many people who know how to write or shoot."
Dialect said : "This is one of our major advantages. When entertainment films become popular in the future..."
"Hey, then we will make it!"
Wang Shuo stood up excitedly .
Zhong Acheng still has concerns: "Although the concepts of 'genre film' and 'main theme' mentioned by Teacher Fang support entertainment films, the current public opinion environment is still not very favorable to entertainment films. Friendly, I also read a critical article in today's "Literary News""
"Facts speak louder than words. As long as we make entertainment films that are well-received and well-received, nothing they say will be of any use!"
Wang Shuo rubbed his hands and asked eagerly about the story they had jointly prepared for Shaw Brothers.
Fang Yan and Gong Xie looked at each other and smiled, handing over the last portion they had.
Wang Shuo took a closer look and saw the name "Baby Wisdom Stars" coming into his eyes.
The story revolves around a boy. Because he is often ignored by his family, he is always mischievous and mischievous, hoping to attract the attention of his parents. However, what he gets in exchange is the rejection of his family, so on Christmas Day On the eve of the wedding, he made a wish to make his whole family disappear.
Unexpectedly, the whole family really disappeared the next day, but in fact, the family members organized a group to go back to the mainland to visit relatives and accidentally left him at home.
At first, the boy was excited and enjoyed his freedom at home, but soon he found that two "stupid thieves", one fat and one thin, were interested in his home and tried to rob him. Boys use various family traps to protect themselves and guard their families.
In the end, the clever capture and humorous methods gradually forced the two stupid thieves into a desperate situation and brought them to justice. The family also realized that leaving the boy alone at home and returning before Christmas could help each other. They understand each other, and the previous barriers are gradually lifted.
There is no doubt that this is the plot line of "Home Alone".
Dialect has slightly modified the plot that is inconsistent with the local situation in Xiangjiang, and absorbed funny elements such as "Tricky Expert", "Tornado Boy", "Laughing Forest Boy", etc., and combined some inappropriate American-style The comedy plot has been replaced by nonsense from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
"This book is well written!"
Shi Tiesheng said with a smile: "It is humorous and childlike, witty and funny, but without losing its connotation, and it closely focuses on the theme of 'family love'."
Zhong Acheng readily agreed: “Forgotten at home by his family at first, the originally lonely and helpless child gradually adapted to being alone. In the process of living, I realized the importance of family, and then in the battle of wits with thieves, I gradually realized the importance of independence and family love..."
"This movie is very suitable for children. I watched it, it would be best if it could be broadcast on Children’s Day.”
Wang Shuo licked his lips excitedly.
"I'm afraid it's too late for Children's Day. I estimate it will be released around Christmas at the earliest."
Fang Yan said in a serious tone.
Wang Shuo worriedly said: "Christmas? It only lasts seven or eight months, Teacher Fang, isn't this too soon?"
Fang Yan said: "The people who filmed in Xiangjiang The speed is different from that of our mainland studios."
Gong Zhen was convinced that when he was filming "Once Upon a Time in China" with Xu Ke, he felt that the speed of Hong Kong films was too fast.
"If everything goes well, maybe it will be released in East Asia and Southeast Asia."
Fang Yan thinks that as long as the "Baby Smart Stars" series makes money, it can continue to be filmed.
Even, the original cast can be allowed to make Chinese versions of Home Alone movies such as "The Tornado" and "The Little Mermaid".
As for directors and actors, Wang Jing, Zhou Xingchi, and Wu Meng should all still be at Shaw Brothers... (End of chapter)
