Chapter 1184 Wu's sinister intentions

The next day, Wu Cheng went to the company.

In the office, Lin Lingdong knocked in and said, "Boss, are you looking for me?"

Wu Cheng looked up at him and said, "Adong is here, sit down! Wait for me for a while!"

He said as he accelerated his browsing of the information in front of him. After a few minutes, he closed the document, then picked up another document, and sat down on the sofa beside him.

At this time, Secretary Li Luoxin walked in with coffee, handed over coffee to the two of them, and then she stepped out again.

"Have you prepared a new film recently?" Wu Cheng asked with a smile.

Lin Lingdong shook his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Although I have ideas recently, I can't grasp the inspiration for a while, so I'm going to take a break."

Wu Cheng estimated that his idea might be to write "Dragon and Tiger Storm". This year he filmed "Love One". Although the box office was nearly 10 million, it is not a loss for the investment in this drama, and there are even some profits. However, if it is judging from the overall box office list, it would be a bit shabby.

However, director Lin Lingdong naturally cannot be underestimated, otherwise he would not have called him over and asked him to film the drama "Prison Storm".

The starring roles of "Prison Storm" are Liang Jiahui and Zhou Runfa, but Zhou Run found that there is no schedule. He is losing weight now and is also filming "The True Color of Heroes". In a few days, he will have to promote "The True Color of Gambling", and then continue to film "The True Color of Heroes", and then "The Double Heroes of Blood". If you want to film "Prison Storm", I don't know when I will go.

The reason why Wu Cheng took out this script for him now was mainly to "indirectly stop" his brother Nan Yan from writing this script through his hands.

Although this drama is two years later, who knows when Nan Yan will come up with this script at this time!

Even Nan Yan had such an idea now, and even started writing the script of this story, he was not surprised.

Because Wu Baige has already taught him a vivid lesson.

Lin Lingdong took the folder handed over by Wu Cheng, opened it and looked at it, and then couldn't help but look up at him and said, "Boss, is this the script you wrote?"

Wu Cheng picked up the coffee and smiled and said, "You can finish reading it first, and then talk about it after you finish reading it."

Lin Lingdong turned his head, then looked down and looked through the script. As he looked at it, he felt familiar. At the end, he closed his eyes and thought.

Because he suddenly felt that the background of this character was somewhat similar to the story his elder brother wanted to write before. As for the formal story, his brother had not yet thought about it.

At that time, he just heard his brother say he wanted to create a script with prison theme, but he had the idea of ​​adapting the script "Shawshank Redemption" by Wu Cheng.

Unexpectedly, there are already such scripts now, and they were written by the original author of the script "Shawshank Redemption".

Wu Cheng quietly sipped the coffee without disturbing his reading.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "Boss, has this script evolved through the Shawshank Redemption? Is it really left it to me to shoot?"

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Of course, why would you show you this script?" After pausing, he said, "Why do you think this has evolved from "The Shawshank Redemption"? Are there any similarities between these two scripts?"

By the way, no one knows the similarities between these two scripts better than him! Lin Lingdong thought, after all, these two scripts were written by him!

But since Wu Cheng asked this, he probably wanted to test him, so he thought so.

"The similarity between these two scripts..." Lin Lingdong gradually began to say.

However, he didn't know much about the drama "Prison Storm", after all, he only watched it once. He only knew that the stories told in these two scripts were prison. The difference is that "Shawshank's Redemption" tells the story of freedom and jailbreak.

But what "Prison Storm" tells about brotherhood happening in prison.

And the difference is that "Shawshank's Redemption" cares about the difficulty of those prisoners coming out of prisons to face some social problems in real social life.

And "Prison Storm" is not!

So, if you have to say what the similarities between the two movies are, basically, you can only say that these are just two movies with the same prison theme.

After talking about it, Lin Lingdong said: "Actually, it was not because his theme was the same as the one in "Shawshank Redemption", but because my elder brother once wanted to write a film with prison theme because he had watched "Shawshank Redemption". But later because of other things, and the story itself was not formed, there was no following. Now seeing your script by Boss, I feel that this script was derived from "Shawshank Redemption".

This explanation is much easier to accept.

At the same time, he also brought up his brother, which is a kind of recommendation!

In fact, his brother Lin Lingnan, also known as Nan Yan, is quite talented. Unfortunately, Nan Yan did not get involved in Tiancheng's agency, but had a good relationship with Wang Pangjing. These two fat men are both **** enthusiasts.

Therefore, even if Wu Cheng appreciates him, he may not necessarily come to Tiancheng's agency.

After Lin Lingdong finished speaking, Wu Chengcai smiled and said, "It seems that you have really found the wrong person to hand over this movie to you..."

But he thought to himself: Nimmy! Fortunately, this script was taken out long ago, otherwise, the movie would have turned into a work by Yongsheng or New Century City after looking back.

Wu Cheng is very willing to hand over the good script to others to direct. After all, even if he doesn't give it to others to direct so many scripts, he doesn't have so much time and energy.

Moreover, even if it is handed over to others to direct the film, it is owned by its own company.

But if the script was written by Nan Yan, it is estimated that the film will probably go to Yongsheng because of his relationship with Wang Pangjing, and because Lin Lingdong is the director of Tiancheng Agency. The star artists of Tiancheng Agency are very free, and the company never prevents its own star artists from making money in other companies.

Fortunately, Nan Yan just had such an idea and did not put it into reality.

If it really put it into reality, Wu Cheng would probably curse himself secretly! After all, the reason why Nan Yan wanted to write a film with prison theme was influenced by the adaptation of the script of "Shawshank Redemption".

He felt relieved in his heart and said, "You can bring this script back and let your elder brother see if there are any details that need to be changed. I will allow you to change it."

“…”

Lin Lingdong obviously did not understand Wu's "sincere intentions".

But since he said that, just do it.

In addition, Wu Cheng said: "In addition, the original protagonists of this drama were Zhou Runfa and Liang Jiahui. Their acting skills are both good at acting as the two protagonists, and there is no problem at all. However, the schedule of Zhou Runfa is a problem. Director Xu Ke's "The True Color of Heroes" is being filmed, and he is the protagonist. Next, Director Wu Yusen of Jiahe may make a movie, and Ah Fa is also the protagonist. So I want to invite him to film this "Prison Storm". I guess I will go until April and May next year, or even the second half of the year. So, before that, I hope you can arrange the rest of the crew, and in addition, there is also the scene of prison, and we will create it first..."

That is, you can prepare everything and even shoot the scenes of other people in the movie first, and then save the scenes played by the protagonist Zhou Runfa first. When Zhou Runfa has a schedule, then shoot his scenes. Lin Lingdong is naturally familiar with this.

After all, other people make movies, not like Wu Cheng makes movies.

Wu Cheng's crew basically gathers all members together and then shoots. This kind of filming is naturally beneficial and disadvantageous. As for the disadvantages, it is for those actors.

However, countless actors want to participate in Wu Cheng's movies but cannot. Therefore, they don't think there is anything to complain about when spending more time in Wu Cheng's crew.

Many actors don’t have the chance to waste this time when they want to come to him!

Lin Lingdong smiled and said, "Boss, don't worry, I know what to do!"

At this time, he seemed calm on the surface, but in fact he could not suppress his excitement. Many directors wanted to film Wu Cheng's script but could not, but such an opportunity appeared in his hands. At this time, he really wanted to take out this joy with his friends and his elder brother.

I think if his elder brother knew this news, he would definitely be happy for him!

You know, although he joined Tiancheng Brokerage early... After Tiancheng Brokerage took over Jiashi, Lin Lingdong was already staying in Tiancheng Brokerage Company.

Later, he went to Canada to study. After returning, he still stayed at Tiancheng's agent and directed the first movie "Yin Yang Clash", which made him stand out. Only then did he have the opportunity to write and direct the movie "Love One" that he made this year.

However, the results of "Love One" were very average, which hit his confidence a little. Of course, this result was already very good for a "new director", after all, he was just a director who just made a movie.

Moreover, although the results of the "Love One" were not very ideal, they also made money for the company, so the company actually had no objection to him.

It’s just that he doesn’t have enough confidence in himself!

But unexpectedly, Wu Cheng valued him so much and handed him over the script he wrote to him to direct. If this news spread, countless directors would probably be envious and jealous of him!

He thought so.
