Chapter 148 Hao Su, you don’t want to pay huge liquidated damages, right?
“First shot, first scene, action.”
With this sound, the filming of "The Witch in Suit" officially started.
This drama is adapted from the Korean drama "Witch Yoo Hee" which was filmed and broadcast in March 2007.
It is July 2006, 8 months away from March 2007.
Wang Shu plans to finish the drama as soon as possible and then try to air it this year.
Moreover, he also made many adaptations to the plot and settings of this drama.
For example, the male lead number 3 is set to be a master of French cuisine in "Witch Youxi".
Wang Shu changed it to a master of Chinese cuisine and invited Jiang Chao to play this role.
After his adaptation, "Witch Suyi" and "Witch Youxi" have become very different.
Even if South Korea produces "Witch Yoo Hee", it will only be because they copied Wang Shu's work, not Wang Shu who copied them.
What's more, popular Korean dramas such as "Witch Yoo Hee" are all plagiarisms of Japanese dramas.
Although "The Witch in Plain Clothes" is an adapted version by Wang Shu, there is actually not much difference in the context of the story.
It also tells the story of Li Suyi, a successful career female heroine who is always confused about love - longing for love and dreaming of being with her first love, the unique second male Prince Charming in the world, Yang Wei. Have a love affair.
However, because she has always been cold, love is always out of reach.
The male lead Wang Shu is the opposite of Li Suyi. He has a gentle temperament and is a love supremacist.
However, in Wang Shu's mind, the only woman in this world is his girlfriend, No. 2 Liang Ling.
At the same time, Wang Shu’s dream is to become a first-class Chinese cuisine master, so he did not hesitate to drop out of medical university.
However, being a chef is far from being as simple as imagined. When he met Jiang Tao, the third male cooking master who admired him so much, Wang Shu's eyes were opened. He was willing to be Jiang Tao's forever. disciple.
Then, by chance, Li Suyi and Wang Shu, who are polar opposites, signed a contract to help Li Suyi fall in love.
Li Suyi is eager to succeed in love. From head to toe, she consciously accepts Wang Shu's guidance in every word and deed.
Unknowingly, not only the visible appearance of Li Suyi changed, but also her soul.
A man and woman discuss how to love and be loved.
A frozen heart melts when heated, and sweet love comes quietly.
One found inspiration from ice and "magic", and his cooking level improved rapidly.
The unusual love between the two is indispensable for the story of twists and turns.
In fact, the three views of the drama "Witch Yoo Hee" are extremely incorrect.
The setting of male and female protagonists, scumbag men and scumbag women.
The setting of the male protagonist is that Ben has a girlfriend, the second female lead Liang Ling.
Under this premise, the male protagonist keeps hooking up with the female lead, and lies to deceive his girlfriend into having an unclear relationship with the female lead.
The female protagonist, knowing that the male protagonist has a girlfriend, deliberately hooks up with the male protagonist.
In the end, the male protagonist dumped his first girlfriend and stayed with the female protagonist.
A lively TV series with incorrect views.
But it is such a drama with incorrect views and mediocre ratings in South Korea. After being introduced to China, the ratings became a hit and it became a memory of many people's childhood.
Wang Shu could only take it out with tears in his eyes.
Even though it was only the first day of filming, it went surprisingly smoothly.
Wang Shu was initially worried that his company’s team would be in a hurry when leading a project for the first time.
After the work started, he realized that he had thought too much.
An idol drama is produced and set in the capital. It is not difficult to assemble the crew and organize the work. In addition, most of the team in the company are "experienced" in the industry. It was easy to get started and the work was completed relatively smoothly.
At the end of the morning, the main creative staff of the crew, including Wang Shu, were all huddled together eating lunch boxes.
While Hao Su was eating his lunch, he kept looking at Wang Shu, as if he had something to say but couldn't say it.
Qin Hao, Hao Su, Jiang Chao, Xu Huanhuan and others have become acquainted with each other through the book reading club organized by Yishu Company.
While eating his lunch, Xu Huanhuan looked for a topic and asked: "Hao Su, hasn't "The Summer Palace" passed the review yet?"
Hao Su was talking to them earlier. At that time, he said that "Summer Palace" had not passed the review, and Xu Huanhuan just asked this question now.
"No, the film and television bureau said that the picture was blurry and would not be reviewed." Hao Su became very angry when he heard this question.
The picture is blurry and it will not be reviewed. Is this the reason people say?
She didn't notice that after hearing these words, Wang Shu stopped eating his lunch box and froze in place.
"The Summer Palace. Lou Ye's banned film banned"
Wang Shu opened his mouth, and suddenly thought of these things under the conversation between Xu Huanhuan and Hao Su, and his heart suddenly felt cold. .
Hao Shu
But a big bomb!
Why did you choose her to play the heroine? ! !
What the hell, "Summer Palace" and "The Tuner" were shortlisted for the 59th Cannes Film Festival, but I forgot about it! !
Wang Shu, my balls hurt.
“The picture is blurry, will it not be passed?” Qin Hao and others looked incredulous when they heard this.
I have seen reasons for not being able to pass the trial, but I have never seen such an outrageous reason.
Since it is not allowed to go through trial, why can't you find an excuse?
Who will accept this?
Hao Su has a carefree personality and is a bit straightforward. She immediately responded angrily: "That's the reason!"
Although she has a straightforward personality, she is not stupid.
Although the people around me who are on the same crew are already familiar with each other, they are not very familiar with each other.
I don’t dare to say weird things about the film and television bureau, lest it be spread and cause trouble.
Qin Hao and Jiang Chao looked at each other and felt that things were definitely not that simple. The reason for the blurred picture was most likely just superficial, and there must be other reasons.
The two of them looked at Wang Shu in unison. Wang Shu's current rank was no longer comparable to theirs, and they wanted to get answers from Wang Shu.
However, Wang Shu was busy thinking about things at the moment and was completely unaware of the looks they were looking at.
When the two saw this, they thought Wang Shu was thinking about something important and did not disturb him.
"Is it possible that Director Lou took the film to the Cannes Film Festival because it didn't pass the review?" Xu Huanhuan asked the doubt in his heart.
In April this year, news came out at the 59th Cannes Film Festival that Lou Ye's new film "Summer Palace" was shortlisted for the main competition, becoming the only two domestic films to compete for the Palme d'Or.
However, just as the Cannes Film Festival was about to kick off, surprising news suddenly came out of "The Summer Palace".
“Because the subject matter of “Summer Palace” was too sensitive, it failed to pass the review of the Film and Television Bureau.”
At the time, the film studio denied the news.
They also stated that it was not that "Summer Palace" failed to pass the censorship, but that it was not submitted for review due to post-production schedule reasons.
At that time, people who didn’t know the truth thought that this was the case.
Now that Lou Ye has returned from Cannes with "The Summer Palace", the film still cannot pass the review. This made many people realize something was wrong.
Because, according to the "Film Management Regulations" that came into effect on February 1, 2002, if films are provided to participate in overseas film exhibitions or film festivals without approval, the film and television administrative department will order them to stop illegal activities and confiscate the illegally participated films. films and illegal income, and shall not engage in related film business within 5 years.
Hearing this, Hao Su glanced at Wang Shu secretly and replied: "Probably. No."
After finishing speaking, he felt that he was not very convincing and then explained. , "If it was Director Lou who signed up to participate in the Cannes Film Festival in violation of regulations, Director Lou would have been punished long ago, and we wouldn't have waited until now for nothing to happen."
Xu Huanhuan, Qin Hao and others heard These words all seemed to make sense.
……
Lunch time is over and it’s break time.
Wang Shu called Hao Su and then took her to an uninhabited corner.
Hao Su didn't know why and followed Wang Shu with doubts.
When he saw Wang Shu stop, Hao Su blinked his eyes and asked: "Director Wang, are you looking for me for something important?"
Take her here specially. When they reached a deserted corner, Hao Su knew without even thinking that he had something important to tell her.
Wang Shu did not answer the question, but sighed and said: "Sister Shu, the contract you signed with our company stipulates that if the TV series cannot be broadcast due to your fault, you will compensate the film studio for the loss, right? "
"You don't want to lose this money, right?"
"Director Wang?" Hao Su was stunned when he heard Wang Shu's words and opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't. .
Wang Shu glanced at Hao Su a few times and said to himself: "Actually, I admire and like Sister Su, otherwise I wouldn't have many actresses wanting to star in this drama. Next, I took the initiative to invite Sister Su to come over and play the heroine.”
“It’s just.”
Hao Shu had already understood what Wang Shu meant. She was a straight-tempered person and asked directly: "Director Wang is worried that my starring role in "The Summer Palace" will affect this drama?"
After asking, he asked again. She smiled innocently and said: "If Director Wang is worried about this, then Director Wang's worries are a bit unnecessary."
""The Summer Palace" just hasn't been censored and can't be released, and Director Lou has not been punished"
Before Hao Su finished speaking, Wang Shu had already interrupted: "Sister Su, what if I told you that Director Lou will definitely be punished?"
"If you don't believe it, you can fight me. Call Director Lou and ask him if he knows what he knows.”
"The Film and Television Bureau has not given a penalty now, but it does not mean that it will not be given in the future."
"There is a process, it may be two months, it may be three months, or it may be four months Wait.”
“When the process is completed, Director Lou’s punishment will come.”
“Especially since Director Lou has already violated the rules by participating in foreign film festivals, and he will be punished. "The Summer Palace" failed to pass the review and was repeatedly sent to the Film and Television Bureau in an attempt to pass the review."
"There is no escape from punishment for such behavior."
Hao Su was stunned for a moment by what Wang Shu said. He was stunned for a while and didn't know how to refute.
She knew in her heart that Wang Shu was on good terms with Han Sanping and China Film Group, and might have gotten some information through certain channels.
Seeing that Hao Su was silent, Wang Shu sighed again: "According to the Film Management Regulations, Director Lou should be punished with a five-year ban from directing."
"This matter. Although it has not yet been implemented, I believe that Director Lou knows it well.”
“He directed "Suzhou River" and was banned from directing for two years because of violations."
"He is more familiar with the process of this matter than many people."
"And..."The Summer Palace" is impossible to pass the review."
"While eating just now, I I heard that the reason why the film bureau refused to approve the film was because the film was blurry.”
“I think you know in your heart that it’s not this reason, but another reason, just because you don’t want to admit it. That’s all.”
After saying that, he looked at Hao Su quietly.
Hao Su opened his mouth, looked at Wang Shu, and asked: "Director Wang, do you think I will also be affected?"
She had no idea what Wang Shu said about Lou Ye's punishment. In order to refute it, I didn’t dwell on this issue any longer.
Turn around and ask this question.
Under normal circumstances, even if "Summer Palace" failed to pass the review and was banned, and director Lou Ye was punished for violating the rules, the starring actors in the movie would not be affected.
For example, in "Suzhou River", Lou Ye was banned from directing for two years due to violations. Zhou Xun and others were not affected as the leading actors in the movie.
And this is where Hao Su is confused.
Although she is careless, it does not mean that she has no discernment at all. From Wang Shu's attitude, he has already guessed.
If it were another director, she might laugh and say that she thinks too much.
She is just the starring role, not the director.
Even if there is a punishment, it will be on the director, not her as the lead actor.
However, Wang Shu is different.
In her mind, Wang Shu might know some news that she didn't know.
In other words, I can’t laugh.
“I asked someone just now, the scale of “Summer Palace” is a bit large.” Wang Shu looked at Hao Su and said hesitantly.
It was impossible to find someone. He just remembered that Hao Su had been banned for three years because of this drama.
The reason seems to be because the scale is too large.
This girl is also in bad luck. She was banned for three years for "Summer Palace" in 2006. When she came back in 2009, she was slandered by a male friend she supported and gave false evidence to backstab her. Unable to prove her innocence, she was banned again. Banned for two years.
By the time he makes a comeback, he will not only have passed the golden age of his age, but the entertainment industry has also entered the era of capital.
In this era, she was reduced to supporting Huang Xiaoming's wife Yang Ying...
Hao Su's expression suddenly froze when he heard this.
Even though Wang Shu didn't say it explicitly, she could understand the meaning.
Especially when someone asks this question, it is even more convincing.
Seeing this, Wang Shu sighed and said, "I really want to cooperate with Sister Su, but..."
He paused and then said, "This drama , Even if the filming continues normally and it cannot be broadcast due to some reasons, it will be a waste of about a month."
"But Sister Su will have to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages."
"If I didn't really admire Sister Lei, I wouldn't have talked to Sister Su after hearing you talk about "The Summer Palace" on the first day of filming."
"After all, even if I am affected, I I can also get the liquidated damages paid by Sister Su, so I won’t lose anything.”
“I will tell Sister Su this.”
Before Wang Shu finished speaking, Hao Su forced himself. He smiled and said: "I understand, Director Wang doesn't want me to lose everything."
"Director Wang has a good heart and is a good person."
