Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 104 Script Selection

After agreeing to Zou Wenhuai's cooperation, Su Chengcheng was thinking about what script to give him.

At present, Su Cheng's ready-made Hollywood scripts include "Home Alone", "Rain Man", "The Last Days", "Future", "Die Hard", and "The Story of Hachiko".

Several.

As for "The Breakfast Club", when it left Hollywood, it was handed over to John Hughes to shoot.

After pondering for a moment, he set his sights on "The Story of Hachiko". After all, this was the movie with the lowest box office among them.

However, the status of this movie in Su Cheng's heart is not low. It is the highest-rated movie except "The Love of Ghosts". Even "Rain Man" cannot be compared to it. Who made this movie stand out in future generations?

It's so famous! It's also one of the most touching "warmth films".

If possible, Su Cheng wants to win an Oscar with this film! As for the male protagonist, he has already thought about it and let Tony Leung Ka Fai, who has a literary temperament, play the role. As for the age issue, there is a makeup artist, so I'm afraid

What?

Just handing it to Jiahe, Su Cheng hesitated for a moment.

When he returned to the Su residence, he had not decided whether to give it or not.

…

At this time, the nomination list for the second Hong Kong Film Awards came out.

Due to the success of the first time, this time there was even more noise. It was first promoted on Tengyue TV for a few days, and then, in the evening, it was directly broadcast in the form of a "small program".

…

After the news was announced, I don’t know how many people were lamenting the power of Tengyue Entertainment! This is suppressing half of the entertainment industry! No matter how many people have won the award, this nomination award is shocking. It is really powerful!

Even Su Cheng himself felt quite emotional that his company had indeed recruited a large number of "elites" under its name. But if it were to compete with all its peers, it might not have the strength.

At least, once Golden Harvest, New Art City, and even Shaw Brothers, which have been ignored in the film industry, are united, Tengyue Entertainment will not be able to handle it. After all, their rise is too short, and the skills of their artists are too short.

We still need more time. And Jiahe, Shaw Brothers, and even Mai Jia, Huang Baiming, Shi Xiu and others from New Art City are all "older generation" filmmakers.

What they lack is just a good script. The acting skills of the actors are much better than everyone else in Tengyue Entertainment. Su Cheng cannot ignore this!

…

It was also at this moment that Su Cheng decided to give the script "The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" to Jiahe.

As for the reason, it is to win over a few more allies to prevent others from causing trouble behind the scenes. With Golden Harvest and Dingsheng Platform, even if the well-known film companies such as Shaw Brothers, New Art City, Xiangyang, Binbin, and Darong join forces, Su Cheng can also

No more worries.

Thinking of this, he called Xiang Huaqiang directly and asked Jiahe to make money. He was not comfortable. At least, it made Zou Wenhuai feel heartbroken.

"Boss Su, why are you looking for me so late?"

“Of course it’s a good thing to make money!”

Without hesitation, he told him about getting him a share of the pie, and Xiang Huaqiang on the other side naturally agreed without hesitation: "Then do as Boss Su wants, and we will invest 30% in Dingsheng."

"Be happy to the boss!"

"Boss Su will still take care of you!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Cheng began to write the script.

Speaking of which, the best version that has been circulated is from Hollywood, and it is also the most viewed. However, the island country has the first version, and the background of this story is an adaptation of real events that took place in the island country in the mid-1920s.

Since he is the current screenwriter, he will naturally not set the setting in an island country, but directly use Hong Kong as the template. Just like the previous "Cannonball Run", since he has participated in the investment, naturally he cannot have Jackie Chan and Xu Guanwen play both.

"Visitors from the island country" were replaced by "people from Xiangjiang".

Even if the plot is not too much, Su Cheng still has to stick to his own ideas.

The identity of the male protagonist remains unchanged, he is still a professor. Currently he is directly played by Tony Leung Ka Fai. Three generations of his ancestors have lived in Chinatown, and they came there due to work reasons. He accidentally saw the "paparazzi" being trafficked, which reminded him of

When I was a child, my family had the same thing.

The warmth changed and he returned to his home.

Who would have thought that the "paparazzi" who had only met once would be lost?

When love overflows, keep it and raise it.

In Su Cheng's story, Tony Leung Ka-fai is an authentic Xiangjiang native whose ancestors migrated to Chinatown and are of Chinese descent. His wife is a typical local and his daughter is a mixed race. It just so happens that Phoebe Cates plays the role. It can also be filmed later in "

Before "The Endless Love between Humans and Ghosts", it increases the sense of tacit understanding.

Under this arrangement, several local Hong Kong artists under Tengyue can also be given the opportunity to act as supporting roles, allowing them to appear in Hollywood blockbusters. Once a suitable movie is available, it will also be conducive to publicity.

The story is very simple, and the split-shot script is not too difficult. But if you want to shoot this film well, you may have to find a powerful local director in Hollywood. In addition, there is the issue of Tony Leung Ka Fai's acting skills, which must be prepared in advance. Otherwise, I'm afraid...

There is no "sense of age difference" in the performance. There is no "sense of age" and "sense of vicissitudes".

It is indeed a good challenge for young people to play the role of old people. It stimulates Tony Leung's acting skills to mature. Thinking about it, this is a good idea.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Su Cheng continued to polish his script.
