Chapter 23 Ability and Ambition

Zhang Duo's mind flashed, and he was shocked when he came up with this idea. But when I think about it again, I don't think it's impossible. He memorizes the novels of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils and the 97 and 03 TV series. Naturally, the world is unparadone in his understanding of the characters in the book. Moreover, he never forgets his memory, his understanding is very good, and he learns everything quickly, even if it is too late to learn now. Moreover, when he was in the art district of the bookstore in his previous life, he really read a lot of film and television books, and his theoretical knowledge was no worse than that of a professional background.

His disadvantage is that he has no practical experience on the set, but his advantages are also outstanding. Compared with the director who didn't even have a complete script when shooting in Hong Kong and Taiwan in his previous life, at least he had a clear and complete lens in his mind.

"I want to be a director!" As soon as this idea came into Zhang Duo's mind, it immediately filled his heart like a wild weed.

Jin Yutang and Jin Yuzhi's first reaction were stunned, and then they doubted whether they heard it wrong. But when they saw each other's doubtful expressions and Zhang Duo's indifferent look, they knew that they had not heard it wrong.

Jin Yuzhi scolded, "Aduo, what are you messing with? You are a 16-year-old high school student, what kind of director are you? You haven't even touched the camera and never entered the crew. How can you be a director?

Jin Yutang also said, "Yes, Aduo, I don't deny that you are an unrivaled genius in novel creation, but this does not mean that you can be a good director. The so-called interlaced line is like a mountain. I have seen too many best-selling writers run to be directors and shoot their own works. The box office and ratings are a miserable mess.

Zhang Duo said calmly, "Sister Yuzhi, young does not mean anything. I won't give you the examples of the ancients. Not doing it doesn't mean that you can't do it well. Everything has its first time, and I have never written a novel before. As for what cousin Yu said about the separation of lines like mountains, it is true. But since I can go to the writer's hill, I may not be able to go to the director's hill. As for those who are scolded for shooting their own works, I just want to say that this also doesn't mean anything. If others don't do it well, it doesn't mean I can't do it well.

Jin Yuzhi retorted, "That doesn't mean you can do it well!"

Zhang Duo smiled and said, "Well, now the conclusion is that as a director, I may not be able to shoot well, and I will not be able to shoot badly. So now let's assume that I am the director and Cousin Yu and you are the investor. Let's discuss the preparation and see if it is possible. How about it?

Jin Yuzhi still wanted to refute. Jin Yutang stopped and said, "Well, it's just a discussion. Let's deduce it and talk while eating, drinking and chatting!"

The idea in Jin Yutang's heart is that Yuzhi can scold him, but he can't. He can only get rid of his idea. It's good to discuss it, so that it's not easy to shoot and let him know that filming is not easy, so he can retreat.

Zhang Duo said, "Let's talk about investment first. I know that the most invested in the current TV series is the 94 version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is as high as 170 million, but it is produced by CCTV and is not representative. I want to know how much is the investment in general martial arts TV series now?

Jin Yutang said: "At present, the highest investment in martial arts TV dramas is 15 million, and the rest is generally more than 10 million."

Zhang Duo thought that the investment of the 03 version of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils in the previous life was more than 30 million. Considering the inflation factor, he said, "Brother Yu, I have considered it, at least 28 million."

Although it was just a chat, Zhang Duo still shocked Jin Yutang. Although their company took out this investment, the problem was too big. It's almost enough to shoot two "Blood Clean Cold Light Sword" and three ordinary martial arts dramas. This Duo really dares to open his mouth!

But it's just a casual discussion. Jin Yutang can't show weakness, which shows that the company's strength is insufficient. He said, "The investment of 28 million is more, but it can be taken out."

Zhang Duo toasted Jin Yutang with a glass of wine and said, "If there is no problem with the funds, then we need to consider casting. Is there any good choice for Xiao Feng's role?"

Jin Yutang sipped his wine, thinking that the image and temperament of the actor in the film and television industry were more consistent with Xiao Feng, but at this time, the cream boy was popular on the screen. After thinking about it for a long time, he did not think of a suitable one.

When Zhang Duo saw Jin Yutang's expression, he knew that there was no choice in his heart and couldn't help but be a little anxious. It is because Xiao Feng is the first protagonist of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. His life experience is bumpy and tragic, his mind swallows mountains and rivers, and he is free and heroic, just like heaven and man.

Xiao Feng has a wide place, a poisonous place, a positive place, a good place, a fast place, a true place, a quick place, an elegant place, a big place, and a police station. He is actually the first person in Jin Daxia's novels. Magnificent, brave and strong, it is for the rich; killing at the age of seven, not being wronged, is for poison; it is right to swear not to kill a Han man; it is for righteousness to betray his beggar elders; it is for good; it is to take action to hit the crane in the clouds, which is fast; the hero has tears and bullets are for the truth; Xingzilin quickly cut the chaos and calms the rebellion is a victory; it is to appreciate Duan reputation The coolness of a nerd is for elegance; it is for a greatness to fight against the heroes in Juxianzhuang; it is for the police to find Dr. Xue's heroic posts in the inn. Xiao Feng's collection includes Guo Jingzhi, Yang Guozhi's madness, Zhang Wuji's righteousness, Shipo Tianzhi's goodness, Linghu Chongzhi's fast, Zhou Botong's truth, Huang Yaoshi's victory, Chen Jialuo Zhiya, Hong Qigong's big, Hu Fei's police. He is not the first person, who can?

Such a real hero, a man who is not strong, heroic and generous can't show Xiao Feng's heroic demeanor.

However, in many versions of Xiao Feng in the previous life, Liang Jiaren is a fake Chinese character square face, with thick eyebrows, a high nose and big mouth, eyes are not angry and self-righteous, and his appearance and temperament are the most fit, but his height is not enough, and he is slightly lacking in pride; Huang Rihua's temperamental face and body shape do not match, and he has to rely on a beard to help strengthen his momentum; Hu Jun has The charm of a mature man is just a long face, a delicate mouth, a soft outline, a sexy single eyelid, and seemingly aggrieved eyes, which still can't show Xiao Feng's heroic demeanor. As for Zhong Hanliang, well, Zhang Duo admitted that he had not seen the 13th edition of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils at all.

Zhang Duo was anxious, but still said, "Oh, cousin Yu, since you can't think of it, let's discuss something else. A sad hero like Xiao Feng can't be interpreted by a generous man who has experienced ups and downs."

Jin Yutang heard it, but suddenly slapped the table, jumped with his chopsticks, and said loudly, "Yes, yes, I know that a person is definitely Xiao Feng's best choice. His name is Ji Liancheng. Although he is not a generous man of Yan Zhao, he is a hero from Shandong. He is a man of Qilu. He is one meter*, burly, handsome, with eyes like electricity and sound like a bell. Three years ago, because of a "Wusong", he became popular all over the country, but then he was blocked by CCTV because of his lifestyle. In addition, he is currently popular in the film and television industry, so he once set up a night market and is currently working as a forest ranger in Changbai Mountain.

Zhang Duo wondered, "Life... style... problem?"

Jin Yutang explained: "In fact, she is a girl from a rich political family. After watching Wu Song, she fell in love with Ji Liancheng. The two were together for life together. However, the rich family resolutely disagreed and sent the girl abroad. Ji Liancheng was also blocked. Later, she couldn't even stay at night market, so she could only go away. A ranger who is far away from the world.

Zhang Duo was shocked when he heard this and said, didn't he? Is it so cruel? Then he asked, "Then let's ask Ji Liancheng to film, and the rich family and CCTV will not have any opinions?"

Jin Yutang said heroically, "My Jin family is not an idle person. I still have this face. It has been three years, and they really plan to suppress Ji Liancheng for a lifetime!"

Zhang Duo nodded and said, "In this case, let's meet this Ji Liancheng and see if he is the great hero in our mind - Xiao Feng."

Jin Yuzhi suddenly interrupted and said, "I'm going too!"

Zhang Duo said in a habitual tone, "I said that your legs and feet are not good. Why are you going to show off? Stay at home!" After saying that, he looked at the angloed Jin Yutang and realized that this was not the time for him to be alone with Jin Yuzhi.

He felt that he could already feel Jin Yuzhi's anger, so he pretended to be nothing had happened and said, "Well, in fact, it's good to go out for a walk when you have nothing to do. Changing the fresh air is good for your physical and mental health. People who stay at home are always moldy. Well, after Sister Yuzhi's feet are ready, we will go to Changbai Mountain and see Tianchi by the way. It's decided happily.

Looking at Zhang Duo's slightly obscene smile, Jin Yutang finally knew what it was like when he first saw Zhang Duo.

Jin Yuzhi did not lose her temper this time, and finally left some face for Zhang Duo. For the next casting, Zhang Duo's opinion is that the role of Duan Yu can be used as a newcomer or a popular star, and the role of Wang Yuyan must be beautiful and very beautiful on the basis of temperament. Other supporting actresses, such as Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling, A Zhu, etc., all have to use beautiful women. Zhang Duo's purpose is to use excellent large-scale production, as if Xiao Feng came out of the book, beautiful women of all sizes, shooting all over the country, highlighting chivalry and writing human tragedies to show this epic masterpiece

Jin Yutang raised doubts: "Isn't it possible to use beautiful women, but how can you find so many beautiful actresses?"

Zhang Duo smiled confidently and said, "Sea election!"

Jin Yutang drove back to Bincheng with some doubts, mainly because the investment proposed by Zhang Duo was too huge, which made him feel risky. He was going to discuss it with his partners. From Zhang Duo's description, he feels very interesting and seems to be able to really open a new era of martial arts dramas, and he is not so resistant to Zhang Duo's ability to be a director.

Zhang Duo and Jin Yuzhi walked on the school's grove road. Jin Yuzhi couldn't help asking, "A Duo, why do you have to be a director?" Isn't it good to sell the copyright and wait for the money to be collected?

Zhang Duo turned his back to the sun and said to Jin Yuzhi, "I know it's good, there is no risk, and I have money to take it!" But when Dai Anmin came to my cousin Yu, I knew that this identity would not be hidden for long. Since I can no longer hide it, I will make a world famous!"

At the moment when Zhang Duo spoke, the light of the sun scattered through the leaves in autumn afternoon. At that moment, Jin Yuzhi was a little absent-minded. She suddenly felt that Zhang Duo in front of her was a little strange. When she first met Zhang Duo, she gave her the impression that he was a scoundrel and lazy, and then he was talented. Now she has seen Zhang Duo's ambitious side and looks down on the world.

In fact, every man will be more or less ambitious, "Wake up and kill the sword, and lie drunk on the beauty's knees." I don't know how many men have had such a dream. Unfortunately, the real world is too cruel. They are either ambitious or unlucky. In short, they seem to have a mismatch between their abilities and ambitions.

Zhang Duo has no chance to know whether he was ambitious or unlucky in his previous life. But in this world, his ability and ambition will only match just right.
