How can a director be a gigolo?

Chapter 74 Commercial Films

Wang Xiaohao is a bit shy and can't bring himself to do such a thing.

He had no choice but to suggest that his elderly father go and talk to the county authorities!

Wang Xiaohao originally thought that the county would not agree, and even if the county did agree, it wouldn't be a happy occasion.

Unexpectedly, the county government readily agreed and directly secured a loan of 20 million yuan for Wang Xiaohao to renovate the cannery and purchase various machines for making milk tea ingredients.

It's like Wang Xiaohao got a food factory that can produce all kinds of milk tea ingredients for free without spending a single penny!

The tens of millions he had prepared were still sitting in his bank account, untouched!

Therefore, it's easier for money to make money. It's much easier for wealthy people to make money than for those who don't!

However, once the factory is acquired, Wang Xiaohao will definitely not be in charge of its specific management.

He handed the factory over to his elderly father, letting his father continue as a first-generation entrepreneur while Wang Xiaohao stayed behind and became a second-generation entrepreneur!

Of course, Wang Xiaohao's father is only in his fifties.

He is still in his prime and has served as a leader in the cultural bureau before, so he has some knowledge and ability.

Otherwise, if Wang Zhiming were an honest, simple farmer with little experience, no matter how much nepotism Wang Xiaohao practiced, he would never have put his own elderly father in such a precarious position!

Wang Zhiming's career experienced a second spring, and he suddenly became full of vigor, as if he had become ten years younger. He personally led a team to prepare to go out and inspect and purchase various machines and raw materials needed by the factory.

As for the daily management of the factory, it is still the responsibility of the original management team to maintain the operation of the original production lines.

Under these circumstances, urged by Zhen Liang, Rubik's Cube Company, and other people, Wang Xiaohao finally left his hometown and returned to the capital.

He went home for almost two months straight, during which time Zhen Liang made a fortune, and finally had some time to relax.

Then she urged Wang Xiaohao to prepare for the new movie: "Director, you can't just go home and forget about the new movie, can you? Is that cannery so good that it has captivated you?"

Since you like canneries so much, you should have said so earlier! I would have just bought you another cannery and given it to you!

Zhen Liang is now very wealthy and powerful, and her tone of voice has become arrogant.

Also!

Through "Beautiful Legend", Zhen Liang suddenly landed many endorsements from international big brands, earning at least hundreds of millions during this period.

This is what makes a good movie—it can be a huge boost to the actors!

And this is not the end.

Zhen Liang can live off the profits from this movie for at least two or three years!

So Zhen Liang was afraid that Wang Xiaohao would be lured away by some other glamorous and shameless woman, so as soon as she had a little time, she urged Wang Xiaohao to prepare for the new movie.

She had made up her mind; she was determined to cling to Wang Xiaohao no matter what!

Wang Xiaohao laughed and said, "I thought you were only focused on making money by filming GG movies and had forgotten your job!"

My new film is ready...

Before he could finish speaking, Zhen Liang was already dumbfounded: "Really? How could it be so fast?"

Wang Xiaohao thought to himself, "Since I copied the script, of course I'll finish quickly!"

Scriptwriting is known as "making something out of nothing".

This thing lacks creativity; creating something out of thin air is naturally extremely difficult.

However, since Wang Xiaohao is a time traveler, he has so many advantages from his previous life that he can draw upon. Naturally, he writes the script very quickly!

Besides, at Wang Xiaohao's level, asking him to slowly polish the script and meticulously refine the details is something he himself wouldn't be willing to do!

So he had already hired an assistant screenwriter to help him with these meticulous tasks.

In fact, real scripts, especially film scripts, are very meticulous.

Its level of detail is on a completely different level from online novels, and even surpasses that of serious literature.

Every single line, every single line of dialogue, must be meticulously crafted. The logical relationships between each line, the logical stress, and so on, all need to be carefully polished!

For example, a sentence like, "I don't care what you are!"

The effect is completely different when the emphasis is placed in different places.

Putting it on a tube is completely different from putting it on an object.

The former is not troublesome, the latter is contempt!

This needs to be considered in the context.

Why should a good actor be cultured?

You absolutely must understand logical stress.

If the stress is mispronounced, the lines will definitely sound awkward, and sometimes they may even mean the opposite of what was meant.

Why are so many TV dramas and movies unwatchable now? It's largely because many young actors lack education, can't understand their lines, don't emphasize words, and speak in a mumbled and unclear way.

Of course, many times, when actors make serious mistakes in their logic, the root cause lies in the script.

Therefore, even the first step of writing the script and dialogue requires meticulous attention to detail.

Wang Xiaohao delegated this task to his script assistant.

In fact, according to Wang Xiaohao's personal philosophy, he still believes in taking action rather than talking.

If something can be resolved with a camera, then there's no need to speak.

Wang Xiaohao remembered that in the first classic movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" from his previous life, it seemed to be full of love and hate, but how many lines did the female lead have in total?

This is still a commercial feature film!

Of course, Wang Xiaohao is never stingy when it's necessary to use lines!

However, when there's no need for dialogue, saying "My heart aches a thousand times" is not as powerful as a scene of torrential rain!

In short, Wang Xiaohao's script was almost finished a long time ago!

This startled Zhen Liang so much that she almost jumped. She had been urging Wang Xiaohao to prepare for the new movie, but she never expected that Wang Xiaohao would prepare it so quickly!

Isn't it normal for a director to spend months or even years preparing a new script?

How could Wang Xiaohao, whose previous movie had only been off the screen for two or three months, already have the script for his next movie ready?

Is it really that fast?

She hasn't even finished making all her money yet!

Just as Zhen Liang was taking a peek, Wang Xiaohao thankfully added, "It's a commercial film!"

Upon hearing that it was a commercial film, Zhen Liang breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a sense of loss. She asked, "Which company are you planning to collaborate with?"

The two of them could barely manage to watch art films.

But commercial films definitely won't work!

In fact, the two earned so much from "Beautiful Legend" that it has already aroused the envy of many film companies.

Many commercial films—no, I should say most commercial films—don't make as much money as this art film!

Therefore, even if the new film is an art film, the two of them would definitely not be able to watch it.

During this period, many people have made subtle or overt hints to Zhen Liang, basically saying things like, "Miss Zhen, now that you're rich, you can't keep eating all the good stuff by yourself, hahaha" and so on.

Therefore, Zhen Liang is already trying to persuade Wang Xiaohao to bring in another strong partner for the new movie.

Of course, you don't have to pull it.

The only problem is that the release of this new film in China will encounter some difficulties!
