Chapter 1662 Comedy Screenwriters
There are now a lot of restaurants in Houhai.
Although most of them are state-owned, the old masters are still there in this era, and their craftsmanship is really not something to boast about.
Even He Qin, a person with a bad tongue, would invite female bodyguards over from time to time to bring his father a few plates of food back to eat.
One of them, "Huifengtang", serves Shandong cuisine, which is very popular.
Shandong cuisine definitely ranks among the top three in the history of China. Although it is sometimes fatty, the ingredients are salty and very delicious.
When Yin Jun came to the private room on the second floor of Huifeng Hall, he saw a fat man in his thirties holding a pig knuckle in his hand and feasting on it.
When he saw Yin Jun come in, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately put down his elbows, stood up and quickly wiped his hands with paper, wanting to shake hands with Yin Jun.
Unexpectedly, there was a lot of collagen in this pig's knuckle. When he wiped his hands, it actually stuck to his hands. It didn't matter whether he stretched out his hands or not.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward.
Yin Jun didn't care and smiled, "Mr. Liang, sit down. You don't have to be so outgoing."
"Okay, I'm sorry, Mr. Jun!" the fat man said with an honest smile.
He has always been a free and easy person, but when he met Yin Jun for the first time, he was so rude, which was really a bit embarrassing.
Yin Jun also found Mr. Liang very interesting.
I was delayed by something just now, so I asked someone to send a message, asking him to order some food first and wait while he ate.
Most people would agree politely and then sit there and wait. At most, they would order a pot of tea and a few plates of snacks.
As a result, he was doing well. There was a lot of delicious food and drink on the table, and he was not polite at all.
"It's past dinner here, are you hungry?" After Mr. Liang sat down, he looked at the table that was a little messy and asked, "Would you like to order some new dishes?"
"No, I can just eat whatever I want." As he spoke, Yin Jun picked up the chopsticks and started eating slowly and methodically.
Seeing Yin Jun being so forthright, Mr. Liang nodded secretly.
How could it be possible for another rich man to eat so casually?
Not to mention that Yin Jun is now the richest man in China. It is really surprising that he can be so approachable.
But from another aspect, it also reflects the importance Yin Jun attaches to himself.
"I've been in Xiangjiang for so long, but I'm still not used to the food there." Yin Jun said while eating, "The people in eastern Guangdong are used to light food, but we in northern Hubei like spicy food, and Shandong cuisine seems to have a bit of this taste. "
"Isn't that right?" Mr. Liang said, "I, Liang Zuo, don't have much money, and all the royalties I earn are used to eat. I think Shandong cuisine and Sichuan cuisine are the most delicious and full of flavor." !”
The dishes of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Lianghu belong to the same genre in general, but they are different in subdivision.
In fact, the least spicy food here, if you exclude Yuzhou, would be Shuchuan.
Yin Jun quite agrees with Liang Zuo's point of view, especially since he lives in northern Hubei.
If he lived in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, or eastern Guangdong, then maybe his concepts would be different.
This man named Liang Zuo is the guest Yin Jun invited today.
People born in the 1990s may not have much impression of Liang Zuo, and even people born in the 1980s may not know him as a person.
But many people have seen his work.
For example, Teacher Jiang Kun's most famous cross talk - "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth", the original book was written by Liang Zuo, and the adapted cross talk work was also written by Liang Zuo.
After being suppressed by Chen Xiaoer and Zhu Daguan for many years, Jiang Kun only returned to the top by relying on Liang Zuo's works.
In addition, Liang Zuo's most important work is "I Love My Family", which pioneered Chinese indoor family sitcoms.
The initial sensation of "I Love My Family" cannot be compared to that of future episodic TV series. It was a sensation among thousands of people and was loved by everyone.
It is also because of this TV series that family TV sitcoms will come out one after another in the future, and they are still so popular.
Including "Family with Children", which made two young idols famous, in terms of comedy form, there is still a little gap compared to "I Love My Family" 20 years ago.
Of course, Liang Zuo also has another work, "Sister Ma, the Idle Man", which is also quite interesting.
Generally speaking, Liang Zuo is a comedy screenwriting genius.
If he hadn't died of illness, Feng Buck Ya's movies would definitely have reached a higher level.
Compared with Wang Shuo, Liang Zuo's story is more interesting and less violent and rogue.
If I had to describe it in one sentence, it would be something both refined and popular.
So Yin Jun valued Liang Zuo very much.
One of the reasons for Liang Zuo's untimely death in his previous life was his heart disease, and another reason was his financial pressure.
All of this is no problem with Yin Jun.
What's more, Liang Zuo is less than 30 years old now, and it will be more than ten years before he has a heart attack.
Thoughts passed by in a flash.
The two of them chatted while eating, talking about eating and drinking.
Liang Zuo, a native of Huajing, chatted very coldly. Although Yin Jun didn't talk much, he knew a lot, so they had a great time chatting with each other.
Half an hour later, when the meal was almost done, the bodyguard outside the house called someone to come over and collect the plates and bowls, and brewed a pot of the best Dahongpao.
Liang Zuo smiled when he saw this, "Master Jun, are you afraid of anything when you go out with so many people?"
"It's not that I'm afraid, my family is worried." Yin Jun said with a smile, "What do you think will happen if I make any mistakes here alone?"
Liang Zuo laughed sarcastically when he heard this.
Thinking about it, with Yin Jun's status, if something goes wrong in the mainland, it may cause extremely serious consequences, which no one wants to see.
Therefore, it is better that he is safe and sound.
"Young Master Jun, I have listened to what Wang Shuo said." Liang Zuo changed the subject and said, "I don't have any objections myself, and I have no objection to letting me write an expanded script. After all, in life, you have to have some money to go there. Just do what you like!"
Liang Zuo and Wang Shuo are good friends.
Later, when he died, Wang Shuo once cursed his brother-in-law and had no contact with him since then. This is a very famous thing.
It should be said that things flock together and people flock together. Since I can talk to Wang Shuo, my personality is relatively straightforward and not very coquettish.
Money is naturally a good thing, but literati throughout the ages have been shy about talking about it.
Therefore, the literati in mainland China generally live a very hard life.
Unlike those foreign writers, usually selling 200,000 copies of a book is enough to last a lifetime.
The protection of various copyrights, as well as the adaptation of peripheral products, etc., will form a steady stream of income for decades, so that the writer will not be short of food and clothing.
The situation in China was different. Before Wang Shuo, there was no such thing as royalties. It was always a one-time deal, and the price was surprisingly cheap.
It was only after 2010 that things gradually got better.
At least various copyright benefits are more or less available.
Therefore, Yin Jun admired Liang Zuo's cheerful attitude.
Taking out a thick script from his bag, Yin Jun handed it to Liang Zuo, "Then, after Mr. Liang goes back, let's take a good look at it! I hope you can write out the specific script within this year. .”
"oh."
Liang Zuo had already wiped his hands with a towel, took it and took a look. The four words "I love my family" were written on the cover.
"I had someone bring Mr. Liang the "Wulin Gaiden" video tape before. Mr. Liang should have finished watching it, right?" Yin Jun asked.
"After reading this, Mr. Jun, you are really a genius!" Liang Zuo gave a thumbs up, "Although I have been writing since elementary school, I would never have been able to write such a book when I was 16 years old! Let alone 16 years old, now Will not work!"
"Don't belittle yourself." Yin Jun smiled brightly, "This "I Love My Family" is the story of a family that happened in Huajing City. It has some similarities with the previous "Wulin Gaiden", and only Mr. Liang has this kind of story. Only an old Huajing person can write the charm of the story."
"Let me read your outline and settings first, Mr. Jun." Liang Zuo didn't make excuses this time.
In the screenwriting industry, Yin Jun is recognized all over the world as the best.
Didn’t you see that they won two consecutive Oscars for Best Original Screenplay?
There are also TV series, movies, novels, comics... these are all living proofs!
A man like Wang Shuo who was fearless always gave a thumbs up when talking about Yin Jun, let alone a relatively humble man like Liang Zuo.
"By the way, except for one or two of the main characters here, I have specific settings for each actor. You can chat with them first, and then write the script based on their characteristics." Yin Jun suggested.
"good!"
"There is also a role in it for your brother Liang Tian. You tell him to perform well."
"ah!?"
Liang Zuo was stunned, "How can he act in a comedy like this with his small eyes and evil look?"
"Is it better than Ge You?" Yin Jun said leisurely.
"Hahaha……"
Liang Zuo couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
Too.
No matter how small his eyes are, Liang Tian will not be considered a villain, at most he is a buffoon.
But Ge You is different. He looks like a villain even when he is not fighting. He looks like a villain when he stands there without putting on makeup.
Such a person can be the protagonist, which can only be said to be Yin Jun's whimsical idea.
But you can't say that Yin Jun is here for nothing.
Because Liang Zuo has been to the crew of "The Story of the Editorial Office" and has watched Ge You act. The humorous and self-deprecating look in this movie will instantly change people's impression. Instead of thinking that he is a villain, he is ugly and cute. .
If you watch a few episodes in a row, you will like him even more.
Therefore, Yin Jun also has a great advantage, that is, he is very accurate in judging people, and he has to be admired!
It’s really incredible that someone like Ge You, who has been a villain for thousands of years, can be transformed by him!
As for bringing out superstars such as Lin Qingxia, Chow Yun-fat, Eddie Murphy, Tony Leung, Fei Xiang, Tom Hanks and so on, that is already a legend!
