Chapter 33 Let the bullets fly for a while
Damn it?
Wu Zui was instantly startled.
Because according to his impression, if there is a film, wouldn’t it perfectly meet the requirements of this investor?
This movie is "Let the Bullets Fly", a classic movie from Wu Zui's previous life.
The story told in the film, to put it simply, is the story of a generation of gangster Zhang Muzhi, who transformed into an upright official "Ma Bond" and took office as the county magistrate of Echeng, and started a fierce battle with the bully Huang Silang who guarded Echeng.
A generation of ruthless gangsters, in that era, were instead called Mr. Qingtian. They had both absurd and serious elements, as well as comedy elements.
Even when this movie became a classic in its previous life, even after more than ten years, the clips and plots in it are still talked about by netizens, and even spawned many jokes to poke fun at some situations.
Many netizens also jokingly said that they should quickly apply for "Let the Bullets Fly" as a World Heritage Site.
Because it’s getting cold, so we need to take precautions.
The most important thing is that the background story of this film takes place in Sichuan!
Wu Zui suddenly lost his voice, which made Zhou Ming on the other end of the phone begin to think that the signal was poor.
"Hello? Hello? Wu Zui? Can you hear me?"
"Oh, oh, sorry." Wu Zui reacted and said quickly, "I just thought of something."
"It's okay." Zhou Ming didn't care: "Hey, don't you think this is very troublesome? I am also in contact with some screenwriters to see if I can find some suitable scripts, but the current situation is that the conditions are met
The script is too bad and full of loopholes, or it’s a good script that doesn’t meet the requirements.”
Because indeed, it is really rare to find a script that satisfies both serious and funny elements at the same time.
It can’t be said to be funny, but it can have a sense of absurdity and ridicule, a sense of critical absurdity.
Wu Zui thought for a moment and finally said: "Actually, I seem to know of a film that meets the requirements."
Wu Zui also hesitated when he spoke.
Because I know, I know, but after really being exposed to this industry, I also understand that there are two different things between you watching a movie and knowing the plot, and being able to write it in the form of a script.
Screenwriting, as well as scripts, have always been very professional matters.
A qualified script is completely different from a novel. It will include the scene, time, scenes, characters, and even various things that should appear in the current scene, as well as when and what reactions the characters should make.
Very detailed description.
This is not something ordinary people can write.
For example, Wu Sin cannot write.
But Zhou Ming was as excited as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood.
He directly made an appointment with Wu Zui and discussed it in detail the next day.
The action is very fast.
So when Wu Zui saw Zhou Ming in the cafe he had arranged for the next day, he saw that familiar look in his eyes again.
It was the same look in Zhou Ming's eyes when they first met.
"Wu Zui, you always bring me surprises." Zhou Ming's first sentence was: "What other surprises do you have that I don't know about?"
"Come on, stop it." Wu Zui waved his hand quickly: "The main thing is, I just want to tell you, I don't guarantee that I can solve your problem!"
"So what you meant yesterday was that you have a script here, right?" Zhou Ming picked up the coffee and took a sip: "Can you introduce the screenwriter to me? Let's see what he means."
"No." Wu Zui shook his head and said, "I don't know any screenwriters either."
"What did you mean yesterday?"
"I have a story here, but I don't have a script, and I don't know how to write it." Wu Zui said, "Honestly, I don't know if it can work, but seeing that you seem to be in trouble, I will give it to you.
I accepted your suggestion."
"Your story?" Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly: "To be honest, it's not that I don't believe you, but"
Zhou Ming also knows that in the eyes of outsiders, the role of screenwriter has always been the transparent person with the least presence in the industry.
Basically few people will pay attention to the screenwriter.
This also leads to the fact that many people think that the position of screenwriter is easy to accomplish.
There will be an illusion that ‘I can do it myself’.
So Zhou Ming's first reaction was whether Wu Zui also belonged to this group.
But Wu Zui then said: "That's it, I have some plot ideas, but I can't realize them. You can listen to what I tell you, and then if you think it's okay, we can find a professional
Screenwriter, come and perfect the script."
This is Wu Sin's idea.
Leave professional things to professional people. If you don't know how to do it, they won't make a fool of yourself and just take it over.
"Then tell me first." Zhou Ming thought for a moment and nodded.
This is indeed a good approach.
As a result, Wu Zui began to recall the plot of "Let the Bullets Fly" that he had seen in his previous life.
"This is a story that happened in Goose City, Sichuan."
Under Wu Zui's description, a picture seemed to emerge in front of Zhou Ming's eyes.
Ten pure-blood tall white horses flew with their hooves, and the wheels made a rumble as they collided with the rails.
The two trains are galloping through the mountains of southern China in the dreamy spectacle of a "horse-drawn train". Steam is steaming up from the chimney at the front of the train.
But the source of the steam is actually the huge hot pot in the carriage.
Sitting around the hot pot were Ma Bond, who had bought an official position, his wife and his master.
The satisfied Lao Tang didn't know that a crisis was waiting for him, and their fate would change from then on.
While Lao Tang and others were drinking and having fun in the train, the green forest bandit Zhang Muzhi led his brothers to ambush on both sides of the valley.
Several gunshots pierced the sky, and as Zhang Muzhi's words "let the bullets fly for a while" fell, a dazzling robbery began.
The train took off and fell into the water. Mabond and his wife became prisoners of Zhang Muzhi. In order to save his life, Mabond had an idea and lied that he was a master, and embarked on the road to become a county magistrate with Zhang Muzhi. Zhang Muzhi
He transformed from a bandit to an upright official, Ma Bond, and took office in Goose City, and the relationship between him and Ma Bond also changed from a life-and-death enemy to a partner.
Wu Zui explained it very clearly, clearly organized and vividly.
As Wu Zui explained, Zhou Ming's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Wonderful!" Zhou Ming is a professional. He must have a certain understanding of whether a story will be wonderful when made into a movie.
From what Wu Zui said, we can already see a lot.
First of all, the requirements of the other investor are nothing less.
What does seriousness mean? Isn’t it seriousness if you buy an official position, engage in dirty collusion, and the people are squeezed until they can’t live? Isn’t this seriousness? Doesn’t it have the weight of history?
And the former enemies became partners by chance and stood on the same rope. Although they had different ideas in their hearts, isn't this absurd?
