Back to 80: My Literary Life

Is he Wang Quan'an? !

Fang Minghua took another look. The young man with fashionable curly hair in front of him looked somewhat similar to the bald Wang Quan'an on the Later World Network.

"Hello, Director Wang." Fang Minghua greeted politely.

"Hello, Teacher Fang, I always like to read your novels and scripts." Wang Quan'an said quickly.

Fang Minghua had already vaguely guessed Wang Quan'an's purpose in finding him, but he still replied politely: "Thank you."

Then his eyes turned to Zhang Jiayi: "Jiayi, tell me, what's the matter?"

"That's right. Director Wang really likes the novel "The Textile Girl" you just published and wants to make it into a movie. Today I'm here to discuss the film and television adaptation rights of the novel."

It turned out that after Fang Minghua's novel was published, Wang Quan'an became excited after seeing it, and immediately had the urge to make the novel into a movie.

However, not long after he came to Xiying Studio, he had not yet produced a film directed by himself. He was worried that Fang Minghua would not agree, so he roped in his classmate and friend Zhang Jiayi, who had already made a name for himself in the film and television industry.

Zhang Jiayi knew Fang Minghua.

Fang Minghua was not surprised by the other party's intention. Historically, this movie was shot by Wang Quan'an.

However, he did not agree immediately but asked:

"Director Wang, you and Jiayi are classmates at Yan Dian, so you should have studied acting. After graduation, you went to Xiying Film Studio. Why did you suddenly become a director?"

Wang Quan'an's answer was straightforward.

"Teacher Fang, I have participated in two movies, "Good morning, Yanjing" and "Li Liyuan Shangcao". I don't think it is interesting. The main task of an actor is to show the director's intention, not himself. idea.”

"So, you want to be a director and express your own ideas?" Fang Minghua asked.

"Yes, for example, the article "Textile Girl" you wrote is very interesting to me. I live in the Textile City. To be honest, I know the people living there better. Leave this novel to me and I will write it into a script. , I think I will work hard to shoot well, and I will definitely shoot well.”

Zhang Jiayi next to him became a little anxious when he heard Wang Quan'an's words.

I just introduced him as director Wang Quan'an. That was Wang Quan'an who asked him to call him that. In fact, at Xiying Studio, Wang Quan'an is just like himself, an actor!

You understand, but you can’t say it like that, right? After all, you have never made a movie. As a newcomer, you should be more modest. Don’t you know that Minghua will not easily hand over his novels to others for adaptation?

But unexpectedly, Fang Minghua smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you the film and television adaptation rights. In addition, I basically write the scripts for my novels myself. You said you can write the scripts, so just write it yourself."

As soon as Fang Minghua said these words, Zhang Jiayi was stunned, and even Wang Quan'an didn't believe his ears.

You agreed so happily? !

Immediately he was overjoyed: "Thank you, Teacher Fang. I will find our Factory Director Liu immediately and sign a copyright purchase contract with you."

"Can."

Wang Quan'an and Zhang Jiayi left happily.

Fang Minghua walked to the door of the courtyard and closed the door.

Historically, this film was originally shot by Wang Quan'an, and it was only natural that it be handed over to him.

However, Wang Quan'an made this movie a few years later, when he made his masterpiece "Tuya's Marriage". Wang Quan'an's film shooting skills have become very proficient, but now he is still a young director.

It may not be a good shot.

Forget it, let him practice.

Wang Quan'an was originally a very talented director among the sixth generation, and could be compared with Jia Zhangke. It's a pity that I can't control my lower body.

I really can’t understand why, after marrying a beautiful woman like Zhang Yuqi, she actually went to prostitution?

Fang Minghua shook his head and went up to the second floor.

A few days later, Wang Quan'an knocked on the door of Fang Minghua's house again, and this time he was the only one who came.

Fang Minghua originally thought he was here to sign an agreement to purchase film and television adaptation rights, but unexpectedly Wang Quan'an said:

"Teacher Fang, I'm so sorry, I can't make this novel into a movie."

"Why?" Fang Minghua felt strange.

Wang Quan'an hesitated and hesitated, and finally said: "Our director Liu scolded me for not doing my job properly. He said that I am not an actor and can't act well. How can I be a director? He won't approve a project for me."

oh.

Fang Minghua didn't say anything after hearing this, thinking about something.

At this time, Wang Quan'an lowered his head slightly, feeling very frustrated.

In fact, Factory Director Liu said that his words were much more unpleasant than before, almost just scolding.

"You are a coward, what are you talking about if you don't act well? You want to be a director. Do you think you are Zhang Yimou?!"

Wang Quan'an was extremely ashamed when he was scolded in front of so many people.

Suddenly I heard Fang Minghua say: "Do you really want to make this movie?"

"Yes, Teacher Fang, I really want to take the photo. I like your novel very much, and I am also very familiar with these textile workers. Although I studied acting at Yandian, my brother Zhang Yimou also attended. Four years of directing courses! I think I can do it well!" Wang Quan'an became excited.

Fang Minghua glanced at him and said, "Well, you go to Mr. Song from Shengshi Film and Television and tell her that I will sell you the film and television adaptation rights of this novel and ask her if she is willing to invest."

"Ah? Okay, thank you, thank you, I'll go right away!" Wang Quan'an was ecstatic when he paused.

In the northwest film and television industry, do you know the relationship between Shengshi Film and Television and Fang Minghua?

Not only is the beautiful CEO of Shengshi Film and Television, Song Tangtang, Fang Minghua's wife, but more importantly, Fang Minghua is the soul of Shengshi Film and Television!

In recent years, Shengshi Film and Television has emerged as a new force, shooting both good and well-received TV dramas. Which one does not have Fang Minghua's shadow behind it?

Someone joked:

If you have something to ask Shengshi Film and Television, or even the CEO of the entire Shengshi Group, it is better to ask Fang Minghua behind the scenes, which is more effective.

Wang Quanan left in a hurry. In the evening, Song Tangtang went home and talked about this with Fang Minghua.

"Minghua, today a director named Wang Quanan from Xiying Studio came to me and said that you agreed to sell him the film and television adaptation rights of the novel you wrote, and he wanted us to invest in the film."

"Yes, Wang Quanan came to me today." Fang Minghua briefly recounted the two times he came to him.

Song Tangtang frowned slightly: "But, at that time, I went to another office and called Sister Linda to find out about Wang Quanan. He and Zhang Jiayi were classmates at Yandian. He studied acting, not directing at all!"

"Yes, he said that, and I know it too." Fang Minghua explained: "I want to give him a chance. Do you agree?"

"I didn't say yes or no." Song Tangtang was very frank: "I asked him to write the script and then discuss it."

"Okay, as the company's boss, it's a good thing to be cautious about investment." Fang Minghua smiled.

"Yeah, I thought you would blame me."

"Why blame you? You are the company's boss, you have the final say." Fang Minghua said: "Besides, I am a human, not a god, and there will definitely be times when I make mistakes."

"But in our company, many people worship you as a "god" and say you are really amazing." Song Tangtang smiled.

"What's the point of being a god? Being a human being is happy. I only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals. The ancients said: The wine is getting stronger and spring thoughts are wafting, and the mandarin ducks are turning over the red waves in the embroidered quilt." Fang Minghua laughed.

"Bah, it's just getting dark, and the lust is coming again."

Wang Quanan was also quick. He took out the script after just three days. He didn't go directly to Song Tangtang but visited Fang Minghua.

Fang Minghua took the script and read it carefully.

The script was well written.

"I have no objection. You should go to Mr. Song. She paid the money." Fang Minghua smiled.

If you agree, will your wife disagree?

Wang Quanan immediately felt relieved.

Soon, this "Textile Girl" became the first movie invested by Shengshi Film and Television this year.

As for when to shoot, Fang Minghua naturally didn't worry about it.

It was mid-March, the grass was green and the birds were singing. This weather was certainly suitable for an outing in the suburbs. Fang Minghua planned to invite Lu Yao and a few other friends to go to Chanba to see if there were any good places to go. He would take the children there on the weekend.

Unexpectedly, he received an invitation letter from the Guangxi Writers Association, inviting him to hold a frontier literature seminar in Green City.
