This Star Doesn’t Work Overtime - #476 - Chapter 473: 471 I don’t make bad movies! If you want to film it, film my script.

 Many people know that Wang Cheng came to Hengdian to prepare for filming!

 So, the number of people in Hengdian suddenly increased.

Many tourists and celebrities want to come here to meet Wang Cheng!

Unfortunately…

Wang Cheng has been staying in the hotel for the past two days and basically hasn’t gone out!

Even the walks after meals were done in the hotel room, pacing back and forth in the room for about an hour.

 Such a regular schedule, Xia Xi doesn’t even know how to describe it!

 The third day!

Qin Mo came to Wang Cheng again and knocked on the door: “Wang Cheng, it’s me, Qin Mo!”

 In the room, Wang Cheng’s voice came out: “Come in!”

Qin Mo then opened the door and walked in. He saw Wang Cheng sitting alone on the sofa reading a book, while Xia Xi was sitting next to the coffee table making tea for Wang Cheng. He felt a little envious of Xia Xi in his heart, but quickly put his thoughts away. He handed a stack of paper that had just been printed out to Wang Cheng: “Wang Cheng, this is a science fiction movie script that I hired several screenwriters to write out in two days and two nights. What do you think?”

A trace of expectation flashed in Wang Cheng’s eyes. He was quite looking forward to science fiction. He put down the book, took Qin Mo’s script, and looked at the name on the cover, which made Wang Cheng frown slightly: “Hacker World?”

Qin Mo immediately became energetic and quickly explained: “Yes, the world of hackers. I discussed it with the screenwriting team and the special effects company, and wrote the script while saving special effects costs as much as possible. So, they discussed and described the relationship between hackers. In battles, special effects are used to show the attack effects of strings of codes, which can save a lot of money. There are not so many big scenes…”

Nowadays, Hollywood’s science fiction blockbusters are still in the era of earthlings fighting aliens, so they are basically big scenes of air battles between spaceships and countless aircraft.

 It seems that this is science fiction!

Qin Mo definitely doesn’t have the money to shoot such a big scene. The special effects investment alone for such a big scene is hundreds of millions of dollars. Plus the salaries of famous actors and other expenses, etc., a big-budget science fiction film does not have an investment of more than 200 million US dollars. It can’t come down.

 So, Qin Mo’s screenwriting team took a different approach, using computer hackers as the protagonists, and using special effects to show the audience the battle between hackers!

 Speaking of it, it seems like science fiction.

 However, Wang Cheng knew in his heart that this would somewhat disappoint the audience.

However, Wang Cheng didn’t think much and picked up the script and read it.

With a perfectionist attitude, Wang Cheng just read a few pages and couldn’t stand it anymore!

 Too cliché!

 Too bloody…

Wang Cheng threw the script directly on the sofa and said calmly: “If it is this kind of script, I refuse to shoot it.”

Qin Mo’s eyes widened: “Why? I think it’s okay?”

 Wang Cheng: “I don’t make bad movies!”

Qin Mo: “Is this a bad movie? I think it’s okay!”

Wang Cheng looked at Qin Mo and asked, “Tell me, where else can I go?”

Qin Mo was silent.

 I was speechless for a moment.

 Because she really couldn’t answer it. She just instinctively felt that if she participated, it should be fine!

It’s just like the big bad movies made by many directors, producers, actors, etc., which are hated by countless audiences, but they still face the entire audience and say that the audience will not appreciate it!

 It’s not that they don’t know what they film is bad, it’s just that they don’t want to admit it.

 Just like raising children, many children are mischievous and even commit crimes, but parents still think that their children are excellent. They just act stupid for a while, but they are still good children…

Xia Xi didn’t say anything. She just poured a cup of tea for Wang Cheng and Qin Mo in an elegant manner, then sat and watched.

 This is her state these past two days, sitting next to Wang Cheng like a vase and not disturbing Wang Cheng.

Although Wang Cheng ignored her and didn’t talk to her, she was satisfied because Wang Cheng didn’t drive her away.

Qin Mo was silent for a while, picked up his script and asked: “Is it really bad?”

Wang Cheng was willing to take another look, picked up his book and read it, nodding and saying: “Anyway, I won’t make such a bad movie!”

Qin Mo said with some dissatisfaction: “Then what kind of good script do you want to make? If you say it’s a bad movie every time I bring it to you, then we won’t make it? How about you write a good script!”

Wang Cheng glanced at Qin Mo, said nothing, and then continued reading.

Qin Mo was helpless and did not dare to get angry with Wang Cheng. He could only continue to read the script by himself, then stood up and left, leaving behind the sentence: “I will let them change it and come back tomorrow!”

 After Qin Mo left, Wang Cheng’s heart moved and he said to Xia Xi: “Bring me a computer!”

Xia Xixi was stunned for a moment. This was the first thing Wang Cheng said to her in two days. She immediately agreed without any hesitation: “Okay, I’ll get it right away!”

She must have brought her laptop, so she immediately took it from the next room and handed it to Wang Cheng.

After Wang Cheng took it over, he started writing without hesitation!

 …

 The next afternoon, Wang Chenggang got up from his nap.

Qin Mo hurried over again, with obvious dark circles in his eyes, obviously not sleeping well, and handed the newly printed script to Wang Cheng: “Look again, they and I stayed up late to revise it.”

 The name of the script is still called Hacker World.

 Obviously, after they thought of this theme, they had no intention of changing it and decided to write about it.

Wang Cheng took it over and just read the first page, then closed the script without interest: “It’s still bad!”

Then, Qin Mo stood up: “You didn’t read it carefully, but you just read the first page and you knew it was bad? I think if you take a closer look, you will definitely find that this script is good.”

Wang Cheng said calmly: “Good is good, bad is bad, it has nothing to do with anything else! Although, I personally don’t mind how long you write the script, I am resting anyway. However, work is work, and I don’t like a person who procrastinates on work. A long time. So, I wrote a script yesterday and I will shoot according to this script!”

With that said, Wang Cheng handed Qin Mo the script that Xia Xi had printed out this morning.

Qin Mo’s eyes flashed with some grievance and annoyance, but he did not dare to vent. He could only bite his lip and took Wang Cheng’s script, and looked at the name on the script – The Matrix!

Huh?

Is it also about hackers?

 However, it was changed from Hacker World to The Matrix.

 It seems that the level of force has improved a lot all of a sudden, which at least made Qin Mo interested.

Wang Cheng saw what Qin Mo was thinking and said calmly: “This is completely different from your script! Don’t think too much about it. This was an idea I had before, and it has just been written into a script now!”

Qin Mo curled his lips, still unconvinced, and immediately opened the script and started reading it.

I think Wang Cheng just read his own script and modified it into Wang Cheng’s own script based on his own script.

 Just seeing the top settings, Qin Mo’s eyes widened.

 All mankind is being held captive by supercomputers?

 Living in a virtual cyberspace? Becoming a biological battery that powers supercomputers and robots without knowing it?

 Qin Mo took a deep breath.

She must admit that this idea alone beats her so-called hacker war by 10,000 streets.

 The intention has suddenly risen to several levels!

Xia Xi looked at Qin Mo’s expression, and a smile emerged from the corner of her mouth. She had the same expression when she went to print. She was shocked by Wang Cheng’s script creativity and plot.

 This is simply a genius idea!

 She really didn’t know how Wang Cheng came up with the idea.

 Furthermore, many of the plots and lines in it are full of imagination and philosophical thinking, and are very deep and connotative.

 This is definitely not something that ordinary people can write.

But…

 She knows very well.

 This is what Wang Cheng borrowed her computer at noon yesterday and spent all afternoon and all morning writing. She went out to print it out at noon.

 She had no interest in science fiction before, but now she is very much looking forward to this movie being made, and she will definitely go to the cinema and spend money to watch it again.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　hurrah…

Xia Xi’s breathing became rapid.

After recent training and participation, her understanding of movies has been very profound.

 That’s why she knew that the script in her hands was definitely one of the most amazing she had ever seen in terms of creativity and plot alone.

compare to…

 She must admit that the script she and the screenwriting team spent several days to come up with was really bad.

Qin Mo watched this for more than two hours. It was not until the hotel delivered food that she woke up, touched her belly, and had a meal with Wang Cheng.

 After eating.

Qin Mo looked at Wang Cheng who was taking a walk after dinner and asked seriously: “Is this really a script you wrote?”

Wang Cheng did not answer him, but just walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the busy street scene outside, and enjoyed the moment of tranquility. Xia Xi whispered: “Wang Cheng spent a day writing it. He wrote it on my computer and I printed it! You are the first one to see it besides me.”

Qin Mo let out a long breath and said: “I admit what you said, our script is indeed terrible. But, are you sure you want to film the script you wrote? If we film according to your script, we must hire a big director, otherwise Ordinary directors will definitely not be able to make it. However, there are no domestic directors who are good at shooting science fiction movies. If we invite big Hollywood directors, we can’t invite them. This is not a question of money. No matter how high the salary is, the big Hollywood directors will not be able to make it. The director will ignore us.”

“If you hire a random domestic director to shoot, the result may be totally different…”

Wang Cheng put his hands behind his back and his eyes flickered.

He couldn’t accept it. If he asked any domestic director who didn’t understand science fiction to make this movie, he would almost certainly make a bad movie!

Why…

 In the end, he has to take action himself!

 “I’ll take the photo!”

 Wang Cheng said softly.

Qin Mo was stunned for a moment. What she meant by saying so much was to ask Wang Cheng to lower his expectations.

Didn’t you expect that Wang Cheng would come by himself in an instant?

Qin Mo: “What did you say? Wang Cheng?”

Wang Cheng’s tone was still calm, but he said firmly: “I’ll take the photo!”

Forehead…?

Qin Mo knew this time that he had heard correctly, and his eyes widened: “Can you be a director? Do you have experience in directing? Do you have experience in film production?”

Wang Cheng shook his head: “No!”

Qin Mo: “Then how do you take pictures?”

 Wang Cheng: “I just don’t trust others to take pictures!”

Forehead…

Qin Mo didn’t know how to answer for a while.

 Because, she couldn’t refute.

Even if you hire the best director in China, you may not be able to make a science fiction blockbuster.

Even Xie Xingfeng doesn’t dare to say how good a science fiction film he can make.

But…

Even if you can’t make good science fiction, you are still a director and you can still make something!

Wang Cheng had no experience in filming or directing before, so he became a director when he came up…

Even Qin Mo didn’t dare to play like this.

 She came into the film with money because she wanted to slowly change from a producer to a director and become a well-known female director.

However, she is still learning, and she doesn’t dare to direct and play by herself. If she makes a bad movie from the beginning and ruins her reputation, how will she be able to play in the future?

“Then the movie you make won’t be a bad movie?”

 Qin Mo was silent for a long time before he gathered his thoughts and asked.

Wang Cheng turned around and looked at Qin Mo and replied loudly: “Of course!”

  Qin Mo looked at Wang Cheng’s confident and affirmative expression and temperament, and couldn’t refute it for a while.

but…

Thinking about this crew, it was almost built for Wang Cheng. If Wang Cheng didn’t cooperate, she wouldn’t be able to play at all.

 So, she tried to say: “How about you become the assistant director first!”

Wang Cheng shook his head directly, not wanting to talk nonsense with Qin Mo, and said without any doubt: “Just find an experienced assistant director. I don’t need to be famous, just have enough experience and know enough people to help me.” .You act as a producer yourself, and you just do whatever I say!”

Forehead…

 Qin Mo looked at Wang Cheng with wide eyes.

 It is said that Wang Cheng has a strong desire for control and is an extreme perfectionist.

Qin Mo experienced it firsthand this time, so blatantly letting himself be a puppet?

“Wang Cheng, are you serious?”

Qin Mo looked at Wang Cheng and asked with certainty.

 Wang Cheng: “I never talk nonsense. Filming will only start on this script according to what I said. Otherwise, you can write the script yourself!”

 Qin Mo was silent again.

How can we film it if you don’t cooperate with the script we wrote?

This is still forcing the uterus!

Qin Mo took a deep breath and said: “Since you are so confident, what if I play with you once? Anyway, I have already messed up a few times, so it doesn’t matter if I mess up again!”

 Qin Mo’s mentality is already very relaxed. After all, he has already ruined the crew twice.

 It doesn’t hurt to do it again!

As long as Wang Cheng has fun, that’s fine.

However, Qin Mo was worried that if the final film was too bad and his uncle forced it to be released, it might be detrimental to Wang Cheng.

 “Okay, go and recruit people!”

Wang Cheng said calmly.

hiring?

Qin Mo was stunned again. Now the crew is starting from scratch again. Who are they looking for?

“First find an experienced assistant director to help find actors! As for actors…”

Wang Cheng said hesitantly.

 Because he doesn’t know the actors in this world.

Qin Mo immediately said: “You are the leading actor. Do you have a choice for the female lead? How about An Keru? Her acting skills are absolutely fine. If I were to send the invitation, she would definitely not come! But if it were you to send the invitation Invitation, I’m 100% sure she will agree.”

 Ankeru?

Wang Cheng’s eyes flickered slightly, and he was deeply impressed by An Kerun’s classically beautiful appearance. If he wanted to film The Matrix, he would have to change something, and then nodded: “Okay!”

 Then, he said: “Inform Zhang Hanwen and ask him to come over!”

Qin Mo: “You want Zhang Hanwen to come over and play a supporting role?”

Wang Cheng nodded!

Qin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, then nodded: “Okay, I’ll inform Zhang Hanwen that he is idle now. Do you have anyone else?”

Wang Cheng shook his head: “No, you ask the assistant director to recommend it, and I will check it.”

Qin Mo looked at Wang Cheng and saw that Wang Cheng really looked like a director. His aura of mastery of everything was completely different from the few young directors she had seen before.

 “Okay, I’ll find an experienced assistant director!”

 After saying that, Qin Mo stood up and left.

Xia Xi remained silent until Qin Mo left, then she said, “Wang Cheng, director is a very complicated profession, and you can’t become one at once…”

Xia Xi grew up in Beijing, so she naturally knew about the deeds of some great directors, and knew that the growth of every great director took a long time. Even several talented directors with professional backgrounds had to work part-time for a long time when they first debuted. I just accumulated experience step by step and finally formed my own crew.

If Wang Cheng is like this, he has no experience and is not a newcomer with a professional background, and he has to take control of a crew. It does happen, but it is all the fun of the rich second generation, and the final film is unbearable. It is something that has been rejected by theaters for its purpose.

 She doesn’t want Wang Cheng to be hit when the time comes…

However, Wang Cheng ignored her, sat down on his own, and continued to pick up the book and read. It seemed that he was not the one who had just discussed making a movie with Qin Mo.

 It’s just a movie…

 Although it is a science fiction film.

 But Wang Cheng, who had been making movies for decades in his previous life, did not feel any pressure.

 Sci-fi movies are what he has always wanted to make in his previous life.

Now, with the mature version in his memory, coupled with his own experience and understanding, he believes that he should be able to produce a more perfect work.
