"Story in the Stars" is the first Korean drama to break through the industry. Li Lianyi, played by Choi Jin-sil, has become the dream lover of many people. Jiang Min, played by Ahn Jae-wook, was also the prince charming of that era.
Today, Choi Jin-jin has already become famous in Asia with "Girls' Generation". She is not only a popular idol, but also a movie star. "Star Dream" is dispensable to her.
As for An Zaixu, Yang Ye told him to die. Of course, such a good role as Jiang Min is reserved for Lai Ming.
Speaking of gathering dramas, gathering one drama after another is too inefficient.
Yang Ye decided not to do one thing, and kept plowing it till no grass grew.
The next day, Yang Ye hosted a banquet at Fulinmen, inviting famous directors such as Huang Baiming, Wang Jing, Xu Guanwen, John Woo, Xu Ke, Zhang Jianting, Gao Zhisen, Huang Bingyao, Deng Jingsheng, Nan Yan, Wen Jun, Xiao Ruoyuan, Zhang Xiaoxian, Li Bihua, etc. Professional screenwriters eat.
These people belong to different companies, and when they suddenly received an invitation from Yang Ye, Monk Zhang Er was a little confused.
Some people even called John Woo, Xu Ke and other people who were familiar with Yang Ye to ask what was going on.
They didn't know the result, but Yang Ye held a banquet in public, which was definitely not a bad thing.
So the next night, everyone happily went to the appointment.
The Academy Awards were approaching, and suddenly so many filmmakers showed up, which alarmed some media.
At six o'clock in the evening, Yang Ye arrived on time and found that everyone was very considerate and came together.
Yang Ye took a microphone and said: "Thank you everyone for your compliments. I invited you here today to discuss the establishment of the Screenwriters Association."
Everyone suddenly realized that this was what happened. Something that is worth getting together with.
Today, Hong Kong already has the Martial Artists Guild, the Actors Guild, the Directors Guild, the Photographers Guild, and the Producers Guild, but there has never been a Screenwriters Guild.
Since Yang Ye takes the lead, it couldn't be better, and everyone unanimously agrees.
Yang Ye said: "Since everyone agrees, let's take this opportunity to discuss, finalize the responsibilities of the association, and choose a president."
So a group of people started talking. Discussed with tongues.
It was subsequently determined that the Screenwriters Association should strive to enhance the status of the industry, fight for rights and interests, and express opinions on film policies to the government.
In addition, screenwriting courses must be held regularly to cultivate fresh blood for the industry.
The next step is to elect the first president. As the saying goes, a snake cannot survive without a head. It is very important to elect a president that everyone believes in.
Wen Jun was the first to say: "I propose Sir Alex to serve as the first president!"
This flattery was very loud and made many people regret it. Damn it, why did he get the upper hand!
Others could only follow and cheer.
“I agree!”
"I agree too!"
"Sir Alex is a master of screenwriting. If he were not the president, I, Lao Zhang, would be the first to refuse!"
Yang Ye shook his head: "I'll forget it. I'm very busy and don't have time to take care of the association. I don't hold a position in the Martial Artists Guild or the Directors Guild, and I won't hold a position in the Screenwriters Guild. Of course, I can take a vacant position like a consultant."
Yang Ye already. After saying no, everyone stopped insisting. After all, Yang Ye only served as a consultant in the Martial Arts Guild and the Directors Guild.
As a result, everyone looked at Wen Jun with contempt.
Flatterer!
After some selection and deliberation, everyone publicly recommended Nan Yan as the first president of the Screenwriters Association, with a term of two years.
Wen Jun and Zhang Jianting serve as vice presidents, Lin Jitao serves as secretary, Lu Yongqiang is responsible for finance, and Zhang Xiaoxian, although junior, is young and beautiful and serves as the association's public relations.
In addition, five senior screenwriters, Yang Ye, Xu Guanwen, Huang Baiming, John Woo and Wang Jing, were invited to serve as consultants to the association.
As soon as the Screenwriters Association was established, notices were immediately published in major newspapers the next day.
Suddenly, countless screenwriters cheered and rushed to tell each other that they had finally found an organization.
As the screenwriters joined the meeting one after another, Zhang Xiaoxian suddenly received a call from Li Zhi.
"Miss Zhang, I am Sir Yang's secretary. Are you free tomorrow morning? Sir Yang would like to treat you to tea."
"Ah...I am free!"
"Okay, then tomorrow morning at 8:30, we will be at Yingren Tea Restaurant!"
...
Zhang Xiaoxian got up early, took a taxi, and came to the Peninsula Hotel. As soon as she walked into the Film Man Tea Restaurant, she saw many celebrities in the industry.
Zhang Xiaoxian is just a small screenwriter now. She has not started writing novels yet. She is not famous and not many people know her.
Zhang Xiaoxian looked around and saw Yang Ye sitting at a window seat waving to her and hurriedly walked over.
When passing by Fang Yihua, he nodded to her, but Fang Yihua rolled his eyes.
Zhang Xiaoxian has been working as a screenwriter at TVB since college. She has been working for five years and her work is very good.
Suddenly resigned at the end of the year, and Fang Yihua didn’t even stay.
When Fang Yihua saw Zhang Xiaoxian walking towards Yang Ye, he couldn't help but suddenly realized: "No wonder he is leaving, he has hooked up with this bad boy."
He was a little surprised: "This bad boy, Why have you changed your appetite?”
Zhang Xiaoxian is not ugly, but compared with those women in Yang Ye, she looks like a passerby.
However, she is well-read in poetry and has an intellectual temperament that ordinary female stars do not have.
"Sir Yang, morning!"
"Miss Zhang, please sit down!"
Yang Ye handed the menu to Zhang Xiaoxian and poured her a cup of tea.
“Thank you!”
Zhang Xiaoxian said and ordered a piece of Tingzi porridge for herself.
Yang Ye drank tea and said familiarly: "Xiao Xian, I heard that you resigned from Wireless."
"Yes!"
"Be prepared for the future What to do? "I haven't decided yet. I feel too tired, so I won't do it in the future."
Zhang Xiaoxian's performance as a screenwriter can only be said to be okay. She changed her career to writing novels and immediately took off, becoming the third person in the field of romance novels after Qiong Yao and Xi Juan.
"I am going to establish an Asian screenwriting center, specializing in the study of story themes from East Asian countries, and developing film and TV scripts. Xiaoxian, how about you being the head of one of the departments?"
Zhang Xiaoxian almost choked on her tea. She said in surprise: "This... I am just a small screenwriter."
Yang Ye said seriously: "Although you are not well-known now, I have read your works. Given time, you will definitely become popular.”
“Really?” Zhang Xiaoxian was a little pleased. Everyone knows how poisonous Yang Ye's vision is.
"When have I ever made a mistake?"
Zhang Xiaoxian smiled sweetly: "Then I believe you, thank you for your kind words. But... I really can't do what you want me to be in charge of. ."
"Listen to me first."
"Okay!"
"The purpose of setting up this screenwriting center is to create more. More and better film and television works.
There are many stories, ideas, inspirations and fragments in my mind. Unfortunately, I am only one person and cannot present them all.
So I hope to gather everyone's strength to help me complete this matter. "
Zhang Xiaoxian said strangely: "You mean, you can write so many excellent scripts because there are many stories, ideas, inspirations, and fragments in your mind? "
"Yes, don't you? ”
Zhang Xiaoxian thought about it carefully, and it seems that there really is.
In fact, as long as people think about making up stories all day long, because their brains revolve around this aspect, they will naturally produce various fragments.
For example, when writing a certain passage, many similar things that I have seen and heard will automatically come to mind.
Then, the author arranges and reorganizes these similar things to create new things and generate his own creativity.
Zhang Xiaoxian was thoughtful and nodded involuntarily: "I seem to have one too!"
"Yes! In my vision, the Asian Screenwriting Center under construction includes the Film Department and Television Department.
Among them, the TV department is divided into two groups: realistic themes and idol drama groups. I hope you can be the person in charge of the idol drama group. "
While Yang Ye was talking, another woman came over and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, boss, I'm late!" "
"It's okay, sit down! Let me introduce you, this is Zhang Xiaoxian, who used to be a screenwriter at Wireless. Xiaoxian, this is Chai Zhiping, a TV producer. Have you watched "Popular Garden"? "
"Meteor Garden" is very popular in Asia, not only in the Chinese world, but also in Japan and South Korea.
Zhang Xiaoxian was so impressed by Chai Zhiping's name that she quickly greeted her politely Say hello to Chai Zhiping
"When I originally invited Xiaoping to produce "Meteor Garden", she was not well-known, but I recognized her talent, and you can see the results later. So you don't have to belittle yourself, you have to believe in your own strength."
Zhang Xiaoxian had nothing more to say and nodded solemnly: "Sir Yang, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will do my best."
"Very good, now I have an idea. I need You help me realize it. I want to make a series based on the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the name is... Blue Love of Life and Death..." Zhang Xiaoxian repeated this. Name, said: "Is it all a tragedy?"
Yang Ye showed an appreciative look and said: "Yes, you are very understanding, blue represents melancholy.
The Blue Life and Death Love series all have the theme of sad and romantic love.
They are "Autumn Fairy Tale", "Winter Love Song", "Spring Dance" and "Summer Scent".
In my plan, four members of F4 will play the leading roles in these four dramas.
The first "Autumn Fairy Tale" will be played by Louis Koo as the male lead Zhang Xinran, and my student Su Huilun will play the female lead Zhang Xinyi. "
Zhang Xiaoxian said: "Are they a brother and sister? ”
"You are really smart! "Autumn Fairy Tale" tells the love story of a pair of brothers and sisters. Of course, they are not real brothers and sisters.
Xinran and Xinyi had a good relationship when they were young, but one day, the whole family I learned the truth that when Xinyi was born, she was hugged by the wrong person..."
Yang Ye roughly told the outline of the story, and he casually replaced the names of Junxi and Enxi with Xinran and Xinyi.
Johnnie To has a love movie called "Single Man and Woman". In that movie, Louis Koo's name is Zhang Shenran and Gao Yuanyuan's name is Cheng Zixin. Yang Ye randomly picked the two characters in their names and combined them.
Around the millennium, the three magic weapons for Korean dramas to dominate Asia are amnesia, terminal illness, and car accidents.
Yang Ye came up with a wave of terminal illness jokes, going the way of Korean dramas, leaving Korean dramas with nowhere to go!
After Chai Zhiping became a producer, she studied TV dramas from all over Asia. She always felt that the story told by Yang Ye was somewhat familiar.
"Boss, this story is very touching, but I always feel that it is somewhat similar to Yamaguchi Momoe's "Blood Doubt"..."
"Yes, it is inspired by Momoe starring. "Blood Doubt", but "Blood Doubt" is about biological brothers and sisters, and it involves the issue of incest, which is relatively taboo.
So I changed it to "Blood Doubt" and made them fake brothers and sisters, which reduced the ethical issues. , but added leukemia and strengthened the sense of tragedy.”
"Blue Love" starring Song Hye Kyo and Song Seung Heon is actually a high imitation of "Blood Doubt". Momoe Yamaguchi is a YYDS in the field of Asian idol dramas. She has been imitated and never surpassed!
“I will establish the Asian Screenwriting Center and will recruit screenwriters from all over Asia. Xiaoxian, although I intend to let you take the position of the person in charge of idol dramas.
But you must show results. Come, otherwise no one will convince you. This "Autumn Fairy Tale" is a test for you. Only if it succeeds can you secure this position.
Xiao Ping will be your partner if necessary. If so, you can interview Momoe, I believe she will provide you with some experience."
"I will try my best!" Zhang Xiaoxian expressed her determination, and suddenly asked with some gossip: "Yamaguchi Momoe. Miss... are you in Hong Kong?”
Woman! Yang Ye pouted: "Bai Hui is my wife, where is she if she's not in Hong Kong?"
Wow! The two women were shocked, Yang Ye actually admitted it.
The topic that East Asian people have been gossiping about for ten years has finally been confirmed by the person involved.
"Just know it yourself, don't tell anyone, otherwise, you will be dead!"
Yang Ye threatened, and the two women nodded quickly like chickens chasing rice. (End of chapter)
