Chapter 156 No Cooperation Possible
"Director Xu, let's do this. I'll send you the script. You can read it when you find time. You believe me, my drama will never disappoint you." Wen Muye couldn't persuade her anymore, so she could only let Xu Zhen read it first. script.
He believed that as long as Xu Zhen read the script, he would be attracted to it.
It is very possible to push forward the drama.
It is rare for an actor to encounter a good script.
If you have a good script and push other dramas, it doesn’t matter.
"Okay, then you send me the script first, and I'll take a look at it first."
Xu Zhen was helpless and refused bluntly. He could only agree to read the script first.
After all, it's a bit bad for him to refuse without even reading the script when someone asks him to act in a play. Maybe they won't ask him for it next time.
No matter how busy you are, you should take the time to take a look.
From this point, it can be seen that Xu Zhen is much more experienced than Wen Muye in his way of life.
Wen Muye received a call from Xu Yang that day and hung up the phone impatiently before Xu Yang finished speaking.
"Okay, I'll send it to you right away." Wen Muye said.
noon.
Xu Zhen ate, and when he was resting, he took out his laptop and checked the script sent by Fumikoha.
He knew that with Fumikoha's seriousness, he would call to inquire about it tomorrow at the latest.
Therefore, you must read the script. Only after reading it will you know how to clearly reject Fumikoha and give reasons to convince Fumikoha.
After opening the script and reading a few lines, Xu Zhen was stunned.
Then he read on and read the entire script. Xu Zhen couldn't help but shake his head.
"The script written by Xiaowen has the same plot as the script Xu Yang gave me. This is a conflict."
Xu Zhen took out his mobile phone and dialed Wen Muye's phone number.
"Director Xu, what do you think? Now that you know my play, will you agree to reject your play and take my play?" Wen Muye's tone was filled with strong confidence.
"Xiao Wen, you can't do this scene." Xu Zhen said.
"What do you mean?" Wen Muye was stunned.
"The plot of the drama I accepted is almost the same as yours. It can even be said that your script is very similar to the script of my drama. Do you know that it is a collision? My drama has already applied for project approval. No, yours can’t be photographed." Xu Zhen said.
"What! The scripts are highly similar, how is that possible?" Wen Muye exclaimed.
"Xiao Wen, why did I lie to you? You should revise it again or rewrite another play." Xu Zhen said.
"Who gave you your script?" Fumikoha asked.
"You don't know this person." Xu Zhen shook his head.
"It doesn't matter, I just want to know who focused on this true story and wrote a similar script." Fumikoha said.
"My name is Xu Yang. I'm a boss in Jiangcheng." Xu Zhen replied casually.
"Xu Yang? It sounds familiar. Where have you heard it?" Wen Muye was confused.
"Have you heard of it?" Xu Zhen was a little surprised, but then suddenly realized.
Xu Yang has become very famous recently. Wen Muye has heard about it and is not surprised.
"Is it Xu Yang who Yangxin invested in?" Wen Muye remembered.
"Yes, that's him. Okay, Xiaowen, I'm going to be busy. Let's talk next time. Goodbye." Xu Zhen hung up the phone.
Wen Muye felt a little sluggish as he listened to the beeping sound coming from his cell phone.
"Xu Yang called me last time and told me that he wanted to direct a drama. Could it be this drama?"
"I was very impatient at the time, so the other party directly approached Xu Zhen?"
"Yes, that must be the case. Why didn't I hear him finish then?"
"If you listen to what he has to say, then I am the director of this play."
Wen Muye murmured for a while and immediately looked through the call records.
According to the time, I found Xu Yang's phone number and dialed it.
Soon, the call was connected.
Wen Muye immediately said: "Hello, is this Mr. Xu? I'm Wen Muye. You called me before."
"What's wrong with you?" Xu Yang's tone was slightly indifferent.
"Mr. Xu, first of all, I deeply apologize for your impatient attitude last time you called me."
"Last time, I was writing a script. I didn't rest until six in the morning. I was woken up by someone, and I felt a little irritable. That's why I did that. I hope you can forgive me."
Fumikoha apologized.
"It's okay, it's all over, I won't take it to heart." Xu Yang said.
"Mr. Xu is generous, thank you very much. Last time I heard you say, it seems that you want me to direct a play, right? What kind of play is it? Can you tell me about it?"
Wen Muye guessed that Xu Yang should let him direct the play that Xu Zhen was working on, but the guess was just a guess, and he was not sure yet, so he had to ask.
"Actually, there is no need to say it. I have already asked Xu Zhen to direct this drama. There is no possibility of cooperation between us. If there is a chance next time, let's cooperate again." Xu Yang said.
Sure enough, it was the drama directed by Xu Zhen!
Wen Muye immediately said: "Mr. Xu, I am willing to be the director of that drama."
Xu Yang smiled: "Director, I told you that I have invited Xu Zhen to be the director. There is no possibility of cooperation this time."
Wen Muye said: "Mr. Xu, you can change the director to me. Listen to me, I am the most suitable to direct this movie. To be honest, the script I wrote during this period is to let you let Xu The script of the drama I directed is almost the same. I did in-depth research on the protagonist and supporting characters, and also interviewed relevant personnel on the spot. No one knows the lives and personalities of those people better than me. I am the most suitable person to do this film. The director of the play, just give me a chance."
He realized that directing this play was an opportunity for him, and he would strive for it.
As for his friendship with Xu Zhen, he can't care about that much for the time being.
He feels that he is the most suitable, more suitable than Xu Zhen, and I believe Xu Zhen will understand.
Besides, Xu Zhen doesn’t have a director, but he still has a starring role.
Xu Yang still refused: "Sorry, I have confirmed that Xu Zhen will be the director. He has done a lot of work for this drama. I think he is very good. If I replace him, how will you let others see me?" I am a businessman and I must pay attention to credibility and commitment. Let’s cooperate again if we have the opportunity in the future.”
Wen Muye still refused to give up: "Mr. Xu, in order to make the highest quality movie, it is normal in our industry to change directors. If you can't tell Xu Zhen, I can tell Xu Zhen."
Xu Yang said: "This is not a matter of whether or not I should tell him. Didn't you hear what I just said?"
Wen Muye seemed not to have heard: "Mr. Xu, give me a chance. I only want half of the salary."
Xu Yang said: "This has nothing to do with money."
Wen Muye continued: "Mr. Xu, I only want one-third. No, I don't want the salary. I just hope you can let me direct..."
"Goodbye." Xu Yang hung up the phone before Wen Muye could finish.
No matter what, he would not agree to Fumikoha.
He has already given Fumikoha a chance. Since Fumikoha didn't seize it, he can only blame Fumikoha himself.
He believed that it would not be wrong to find Xu Zhen as the director.
And he also gave Xu Zhen 10% of the investment share, believing that Xu Zhen will devote himself to the filming.
Maybe the results will be better than those shot by Fumikoha.
Coupled with the promotion of the elegant guild, the box office may be higher than the system said.
It's not impossible.
The box office of "Battle Leopard" was more than double what the system said.
