271. Chapter 271 Scene 271: A Genius in the Screenwriting World

What's even more strange is that the three script themes of this kid happened to be at the Huayi Company meeting. The company's ten-year plan was planned to transform Feng Xiaogang, which seemed to be tailor-made for Huayi Company.

The more Wang Zonglei watched, the more he could not suppress the excitement in his heart. He was so happy that he was crazy. Especially the script of "Night Banquet", which was very popular. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero" were so popular in the European and American markets, and the overseas box office was several times that of domestic. Their Huayi Company was ambitious to shoot this kind of film, but unexpectedly, a pie would be smashed from the sky.

At this time, Wang Zonglei tried his best to suppress the excited emotions in his heart, so that he could not be so excited. He just coughed dryly and said in a low voice:

"Well, these three books are indeed OK, but I don't know if the copyright is in the hands of Director Li." He had heard that Li Xiaole was the founder of the famous American screenwriter website "Screenwriter Republic" and had a deep friendship, for fear that he stole the notebook from the website, but in fact there was no copyright.

Li Xiaole smiled and did not answer directly. He just clicked on the website of the West Bank Screenwriters Association, entered his member ID password, opened the number of his registered scripts in front of Wang Zonglei, and showed him the information about the registration of the scripts one by one.

"That's good, that's good~" Wang Zonglei finally laughed. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't help but pinch Li Xiaole's shoulder and sighed: "Director Li, you really opened your eyes to an outsider like me. To be honest, I don't understand whether these scripts are good or not. Can you let me think about it?"

"Of course, Mr. Wang, don't rush to agree to me." After Li Xiaole said this, after a few greetings, he smiled and shook hands with him and said goodbye. He knew that Wang Zonglei needed time to think about it.

As soon as Li Xiaole was sent away, Wang Zonglei called Liu Zhenyun, the company's official screenwriter, impatiently: "Teacher Liu, come quickly and help me see a few books..."

Half an hour later, Liu Zhenyun, who was exhausted, pushed open the office door. After learning that Wang Zonglei made him three scripts, the great writer with gray hair and a gloomy face was extremely puzzled.

Wang Zonglei could fully understand Liu Zhenyun's doubts. You should know that the middle-aged man with gray hair in front of him is one of the most prominent figures in the Chinese literary world today, a great writer who is ranked alongside Mo Yan, Wang Shuo and Yu Hua.

In the film and television industry, everyone envies the great director Feng Xiaogang behind the great director Feng Xiaogang, there is a master like Wang Shuo who is a screenwriter to help him, but it is easy to ignore it. Liu Zhenyun, who also has a lofty prestige in the literary world, is the key to the reviewer of Feng Xiaogang's real scripts. Wang Shuo's wonderful scripts are all modified by another script master Liu Zhenyun, and can only be truly made into a movie.

It is indeed inappropriate to have a big writer like him come over here in person, but it is actually a bit inappropriate to just read three scripts.

When the puzzled Liu Zhenyun read the names of the three movie scripts of Li Xiaole, he took a deep breath and turned around and asked Wang Zonglei with a ridiculous expression:

"Zong Lei, who wrote this."

"The Li Xiaole from China Film Company, this is the script he sent to us." Wang Zonglei replied with a strange expression.

"Li Xiaole?" Liu Zhenyun heard that the name sounded familiar, and thought about it before recalling that he was the director of "Crazy Stone". He looked at Wang Zonglei and asked in confusion:

"What does he mean? He wrote it all?" How is this possible?

"Yeah." Wang Zonglei nodded meaningfully: "He wants me to borrow Ge You's schedule, and these three scripts are said to be given to us."

"It's interesting." Liu Zhenyun smiled. He hadn't met such an arrogant young man for a long time. He actually threw down three notebooks on the desk of Huayi Company where Wang Shuo and Liu Zhenyun were in charge. He was so arrogant. Even Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai didn't have the courage. It's really interesting.

"You have a look first." Wang Zonglei turned on the computer with a strange expression and asked Liu Zhenyun to sit on his office chair.

"Is this necessary?" Liu Zhenyun's forehead wrinkled three horizontal lines like rails, and he reluctantly read the script, but this was amazing. He immediately turned his eyes away and stared at the screen.

Wang Zonglei was drinking water next to him, not surprised at all Liu Zhenyun's expression. When he saw these three scripts just now, he was also shocked in his heart, but he was still a little worried that his judgment was not accurate enough, so he called an expert like Liu Zhenyun to check it out.

"Zong Lei." After an hour and a half, Liu Zhenyun stood up with his mouth open, turned to look at Wang Zonglei in surprise: "Are you sure these were written by Li Xiaole alone? Does he have the copyright?"

"I'm not sure, but he has the copyright." Wang Zonglei sighed.

"This is really..." Liu Zhenyun took a deep breath, looking disbelief: "How could he do this..."

It would be fine if the other two scripts were written well, but what really shocked Liu Zhenyun was the original novel "1942".

As early as 1994, Feng Xiaogang once said to him: "If you trust me, I want to make your "Review of the Anthology 1942" into a movie." At that time, he thought Feng Xiaogang was immature in all aspects and could not control this heavy novel, so he rejected him.

Until 2000, after Feng's comedy became popular all over the country, he promised Feng Xiaogang to ask him to make the movie.

At that time, the first step they did was to adapt the original novel into a script. Feng Xiaogang held a symposium at that time and asked many well-known screenwriters of Wang Shuo to talk about their ideas about the adaptation.

After some discussion, the top Chinese people who live by pens in the 20s all believe that "Review of the Anthology 1942" is an investigational novel, and it is impossible to adapt it into a movie.

This incident made Feng Xiaogang and him depressed for a long time, and he worked on it for several years. After continuous adjustments, modifications and designs, the script was still not produced. In the end, there was no way. Feng Xiaogang set up an interview team, went to Henan, Shaanxi, and Chongqing to collect information little by little, and all of them shot dozens of hours of documentaries, but they still couldn't find a story.

According to the plan, Feng Xiaogang and him planned to finish filming "Mobile Phone" and would go to Henan to collect information after the New Year. They have not dared to write it until now, but they never expected that today, a script with a coherent plot and a rigorous story appeared in front of him.

Is this completely Li Xiaole imagined it out of thin air... But why are the details richer than those described in his original work? Even if he saw it with his own eyes, Liu Zhenyun still couldn't believe his eyes.

How did Li Xiaole do this... How could he do it... Liu Zhenyun couldn't figure it out, and could not figure it out. This kind of thing was completely beyond his rational logic. He could write a script like "1942" based on imagination. Li Xiaole's understanding of human nature may have reached an outrageous level...

"Teacher Liu, I want to hear your evaluation of this person." Seeing Liu Zhenyun in a daze for a long time without saying a word, Wang Zonglei looked at him curiously and asked.

Liu Zhenyun then woke up from his thoughts, turned his head slowly, looked at Wang Zonglei with a strange expression, and said the same line as Sima Yi had seen Zhuge Liang's formation after he saw Zhuge Liang's formation.

"The world's genius..."

Wang Zonglei was also stunned. Unexpectedly, even a great writer like Liu Zhenyun had such a high opinion of Li Xiaole. It seemed that Li Xiaole could not help but make friends. He immediately picked up the phone and wanted to call Feng Xiaogang, but Liu Zhenyun pressed it with his hand.

"Zong Lei, you can't tell Xiaogang about this news. With his temperament, seeing these scripts for him may affect the shooting of "Mobile Phone"..."

Wang Zonglei immediately understood that Feng Xiaogang had such a strong self-esteem. If he had seen these three scripts, his mentality would definitely be unbalanced. Even if he liked these scripts, Ge You would not lend it to Li Xiaole.

"What should I do? You can't give up these books." Wang Zonglei was helpless to put down his mobile phone. After all, the script was important. Feng Xiao was the pillar of their company just now. If he misunderstood what agreement the company reached with Li Xiaole, as long as the company's ace director would feel a grudge in his heart, which would affect future cooperation.

"Let's do this, you promise Li Xiaole first, but you have to tell him that you can't mention these three books. I'll take him to talk to Xiaogang, Youzi and the others. As for whether he can convince Xiaogang and Youzi, it's up to fate." Liu Zhenyun suggested with a complicated expression, let alone Feng Xiaogang, even himself, seeing these scripts, he felt that the scripts would be in vain for the rest of his life.

"Zong Lei, I'm very curious. From the perspective of a professional film producer like you, how is Li Xiaole as director Bi Xiaogang?" Wang Zonglei looked at him and asked curiously.

"Well... I've only watched Li Xiaole's movie, but it's not easy to compare." Wang Zonglei was stunned, but he immediately came to a conclusion in his heart and frowned and said slowly:

"This young director's shooting technique is very novel, and his music has great achievements in editing. Of course, his biggest advantage is his script. If he looks purely at the shooting level, he is a bit worse than Xiaogang. What's worse is not technology, but a kind of control over the story, which is entirely a matter of experience. If he shoots for another two years, I'm afraid he may be equal to Xiaogang at the moment."

Liu Zhenyun couldn't help but be a little stunned. After a long time of silence, he said, "Okay, I'll take him to see Xiaogang, I will do my best to make this happen."

After Liu Zhenyun went out, Wang Zonglei leaned on the bench and thought a lot. Li Xiaole's talent really made him, the issuer, love him. If he could dig him up... What will Huayi Company's future development reach?

Alas, it's a pity that Li Xiaole just stayed in China Film's second studio. I'm afraid that Yan Fusheng and others would interfere, and it's difficult to fully demonstrate his talent. Feng Xiaogang was forced away by those people back then. How long can this young Li Xiaole last?
Chapter completed!
