Chapter 93 Filmmaker's Angle (55)
"Hello, I'm Wen Jinjiang." After all, Wen Jinjiang is an old Jianghu, and quickly reacted, and then introduced the assistant next to him to Zhang Zhong, "This is my assistant Xiao Can."
Zhang Chong nodded to Xiao Can, "It's a pleasure to meet you."
Wen Jinjiang looked at Pengpeng, who was hiding behind Zhang Zhong's trousers, and smiled, "Is this little girl Mr. Zhang's daughter?"
Zhang Zhong smiled and said, "Well, this is my daughter Zhang Pengpeng, and Pengpeng is saying hello to Grandpa Wen and Uncle Xiao."
Pengpeng was still holding on to Zhang Zhong's trousers, and timidly said hello twice.
After introducing each other, everyone sat down.
"It's better to meet people than to be famous. Mr. Zhang is really surprising." Wen Jinjiang said with a smile as soon as he sat down.
"As long as Mr. Wen is not disappointed."
Wen Jinjiang shook his head lightly, "No disappointment, only surprise. Please forgive my sudden visit. I really want to meet the author of "Ten Little Indian Boys". I have to travel far after tomorrow, so I am in such a hurry come over."
Zhang Zhong waved his hand, "It's an honor to meet Director Wen. You must know that most people my age grew up watching your movies."
The two chattered about business, and when Wen Jinjiang was about to get down to business, Peng Peng tugged at Zhang Zhong's clothes, "Dad, I want to go to the bathroom."
Seeing how anxious Pengpeng was clutching his stomach, Zhang Zhong had no choice but to say to Wen Jinjiang, "Director Wen, I'm really sorry, I'll take Pengpeng to the bathroom first."
Wen Jinjiang said with a smile, "No problem, let's go."
Zhang Zhong hugged Peng Peng in his arms and walked out of the box.
Standing outside the box was a young woman who seemed to be the manager of the lobby.
"Is there anything I need?"
"where is the bathroom?"
"I'll take you there."
When they arrived at the door of the women's toilet, it was inconvenient for Zhang Zhong to go in, so he asked the woman to bring Pengpeng in.
After Pengpeng came back from the bathroom, Zhang Zhong was about to take her back to the box, when the girl shook Zhang Zhong's arm and said, "Dad, I want to eat some snacks."
Zhang Zhong was a little guilty, "Dad still has something to do, can I take you to eat snacks after I finish my work?"
"Oh." Peng Peng nodded, but couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes.
The lobby manager said with a smile, "If this little girl wants to eat snacks, I can take her to get some, and I can just wait until the husband finishes his work and comes to pick her up."
Zhang Zhong looked at the woman's nameplate, then at Pengpeng's hopeful little face, nodded after thinking for a while, "It's fine, Pengpeng, you go to eat with this sister, remember not to trouble others, you know Is it?"
Pengpeng nodded again and again, "Yeah, I will be very good."
Zhang Zhong said to the woman, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"You're welcome, sir, go get busy first."
Zhang nodded and went back to the box. Seeing him coming back alone, Wen Jinjiang asked in confusion, "Where's your little princess?"
"This girl is greedy, I asked the hotel staff to take her to eat."
Wen Jinjiang said with a smile, "It's past four o'clock, and it's normal for children to be very hungry."
Zhang Chong hummed and sat down, "Where did we talk just now?"
In a word, the topic was brought back.
Wen Jinjiang said, "This time, I actually came here for "Ten Little Indian Boys". To tell you the truth, after reading this book, I have the urge to make it into a movie."
Zhang Zhong guessed that he came here for his own book, and also guessed that it might be "Ten Little Indian Boys". After all, this book is more suitable for Wen Jinjiang's style than "Jieyou Grocery Store".
In addition to literary films, Wen Jinjiang basically only makes suspense films and crime films.
But Zhang Zhong still couldn't figure out why he wanted to find him. They only needed to do a little research to know that the priority of film and television adaptation of this book was in the hands of Surging Literature.
Seeming to see Zhang Zhong's doubts, Wen Jinjiang explained with a smile, "Before we came, the company was already in contact with Jidang Literature. Of course, I didn't come here to discuss copyright matters with you, Mr. Zhang. The reason why I came , I want to meet you before traveling far. Talking about the work with the original author will definitely be very helpful for me when I shoot in the future."
It turned out to be the case, Zhang Zhong nodded secretly, somewhat admiring Wen Jinjiang's attitude towards things.
He didn't even get the right to adapt, yet he was already thinking about finding himself to exchange the script.
But on the other hand, it also shows that Wen Jinjiang is very confident in himself, or in their Huayi Entertainment Company. He definitely believes that Huayi will definitely get the right to adapt this time.
In fact, Wen Jinjiang has enough reason to be confident. As a leader in the industry, if Hua Yi wants a script, he will usually not miss it.
Moreover, this time it was Wen Jinjiang himself who wanted to shoot, and of course Huayi Entertainment would do whatever it took to get this book.
"Has Mr. Zhang ever thought that this book will be made into a movie?" Wen Jinjiang asked.
Zhang nodded, "Thought about it." He added in his heart, I have also watched TV dramas.
Wen Jinjiang said with great interest, "Oh? Then I wonder what Mr. Zhang has in mind?"
"Director Wen, you can just call me by my name. You don't have to be so polite. As for the ideas, they are not mature. In fact, my novel is going to be adapted into a script. There are not too many changes that need to be changed. Just follow the story. " Zhang Zhong said.
Wen Jinjiang nodded in agreement and said, "That's true. After reading this book, I also found that there is nothing that can be modified, because the plot is too intertwined, and changing one part may affect the whole body and become Unrecognizable. But at the end of this book, Zhang... Zhong, do you think it should be handled the same as in the book?"
The end of the book should be the confession letter.
As a novel, the confession letter certainly gives people a sense of ingenuity, but for a movie, such an expression method is not very easy to use.
Zhang Zhong looked at Wen Jinjiang, and the director clasped his arms together. It was obvious that he already had his own ideas on how to arrange the ending of the story.
"What do director Wen think?" Zhang Zhong asked back.
Wen Jinjiang looked at Zhang Chong and smiled playfully. He didn't expect Zhang Chong to look at people and animals harmlessly, but he spoke every detail.
"I started from the perspective of a filmmaker. At the end of the book, the police went to Indian Island and made a reasoning. This reasoning probably threw out all the problems, and then wrote a confession The letter will answer these questions one by one. But it is obviously not possible to do this in the movie, I think these two things can be omitted, and the scene of the judge committing suicide can be directly filmed."
Zhang Zhong sighed secretly, it seems that the angles of filmmakers are similar.
