Chapter 402 Don’t Be Willful

Want me to be the director? !

Young Master Wang couldn't accept it for a while, feeling very ridiculous.

"I know a little bit about how professional it is to be a good director. Mr. An, are you taking it for granted?"

"You haven't forgotten my last series, have you?"

An Xiaofang smiled leisurely and looked very confident.

"What kind of professionalism does Director Guo have?"

How professional is he to backstab the little fresh meat? Can you compare? !

Wang Yan remembered An Xiaofang's brilliant achievements. She promoted an author to the director's position and made a hit series that became famous in the world.

However, Wang Yan believed that the situation at this time was different.

The trick of making excuseless moans has always been the specialty of the fourth master, whether it is film, television or text, but the medium is different.

As long as there is someone to help check things out, there is not much pressure.

As the original author, no one can grasp the emotions of the characters and the context of the story better than him.

The three well-known author-directors have all directed their own works relatively successfully, which is a good example.

Moreover, he has 3 billion fans, which is only half that of Comey. Being a director can maximize the hype and use fans to boost the box office.

Who knows who Wang Yan is? !

The hype is meaningless, and it lacks professional skills, and there is no own team. Even the book is adapted from other people's works...

All of the above are objective disadvantages.

Moreover, subjectively, Wang Yan does not need to be famous as a director.

No, not only don’t need it, but even resist it.

As a low profile person, why do you do such a high-profile job? !

Wouldn't it be better to spend money quietly and be a philanthropic licking dog?

Other losers just kneel down and lick, but the young lady has always done licking for real, and is not interested in becoming famous and becoming a great director.

If you are really famous, it is not beautiful. If you are exposed too much, you will easily be poached.

After weighing it for a moment, the young master decisively refused.

The reason was clear, but An Xiaofang still didn't give up.

"Mr. Wang, your concerns are all right, but you also have advantages that others don't have."

Wang Yan frowned but did not interrupt her.

“First of all, our situation is unique.

Your notebook is so detailed, and it's like you have a whole movie in your mind, and you know exactly what effect you want.

When we look for a director, should we delegate the power?

If you let go, you have to create a second time, add your own ideas, use your own narrative, and describe your own aesthetics.

If we don't let it go, no director with any level of skill or ambition will take it. We can only find a novice, or a mediocre person who can't take on serious dramas.

Are you willing to have your hard work ruined? "

Wang Yan was silent, feeling that this was indeed a difficult problem.

The director is too good, and it's easy for the filming to go off track.

The Imperial Master whom the young master has longed for is a master who can turn any book into an art film.

The rest of the famous directors are similar, with too strong a sense of self-expression.

Otherwise, with the terrible salary of the 10-level system, it would cost an extra 20 million to hire a national teacher, or even spend an extra 100 million to hire Nolan. Wouldn't he be able to afford it?

I really can’t ask for it.

However, hiring a bad director or a newcomer...is really just making fun of your hard work.

There are some people with high ambitions but low ambitions who copy other people's movies, and what they produce is a piece of shit.

for example……

Ahem! This matter cannot be compared randomly, it is too offending.

In short, it is indeed a dilemma.

How good is An Xiaofang at observing words and emotions?

When you realize there is an opportunity, strike while the iron is hot.

"Secondly, in my opinion, your disadvantage is nothing.

No one knows the plot better than you. I even feel that you already have a half-finished video in your mind. Just follow it!

I can see the visuals when I read the script, which is really rare.

Find someone to help you draw the storyboard script. You will slowly adjust it over three months. At that time, you will be hired by an experienced but untalented assistant director. You will be responsible for directing and he will be responsible for filming. Is it difficult?

Just make your request and let the assistant director and cinematographer make it happen.

If something doesn’t feel right, just try another one. Digital cameras don’t cost money for film, so what are you afraid of? "

Wang Yan smiled bitterly: "Mr. An, why do you always encourage laymen to become directors?"

An Xiaofang shook her head, her expression very cautious.

"I won't joke about investment. Your notebook is really full of details. If you could draw out the storyboard, you could film a dog with a leash behind a monitor.

Mr. Wang, you are a genius. You may not realize it, but I guarantee with 25 years of experience——

You are a genius in making movies! "

What a genius!

Young Master Wang is too worried.

When I first wrote the script, I copied it directly from the original script, but added a lot of unnecessary descriptions.

And those descriptions are equivalent to transforming the details from the original Witch into words.

This is why An Xiaofang’s “strong sense of imagery” comes from this.

Just look at the picture, isn't it strong? !

An Xiaofang misunderstood because of this, and Wang Yan would not think that he was a real genius.

But she was right about one thing - when it comes to this film alone, Wang Yan does have more say than anyone else.

The script alone had already been revised eight times, and the final film had been imagined countless times in his mind, making Wang Yan feel so happy.

From a shooting perspective, Wang Yan is indeed sure to capture what he wants.

So, should we accept An Xiaofang’s proposal?

While Wang Yan was hesitating, An Xiaofang put the last weight on the scale.

"If you hand over the command because of some concerns, and ultimately let "The Witch" fail to reach the height in your heart, will you regret it for the rest of your life?"

These words finally moved Wang Yan completely.

The young man is not afraid of losing money, but he is afraid that he has spent money and energy but failed to make a good picture of the witch.

Wangting Entertainment needs it, and Fu Yushi needs it even more.

Moreover, how fun would it be to film a classic yourself? !

It’s hard for Young Master Wang to feel happy simply spending money. He needs more sense of accomplishment and glory.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yan made up his mind.

"Please help me contact a few talented young directors. I need time to think about how to do it specifically. We will talk about it after the interview."

Although he failed to complete his goal immediately, An Xiaofang admired Wang Yan even more.

Prudence is the most rare quality for a rich young man.

What's even more frightening is that Wang Yan is cautious yet courageous at the same time.

No wonder Wangting Entertainment can be so strong!

Sighing secretly, An Xiaofang nodded happily: "Okay, I will activate my connections immediately and choose a deputy for you!"

It seems that she has determined that Wang Yan will be the real director.

Young Master Wang smiled, neither correcting nor rejecting, and was as calm as a mountain.

…

During the transition, Fu Yushi mustered up her courage and asked in a low voice: "Wang Wang, are you a director or not?"

Wang Yan glanced at her and asked with interest, "Do you want me to direct your first movie in your life?"

Fu Yushi's mind went blank for a moment.

It’s so out of line to ask a question!

How should I answer? !

No matter how high your emotional intelligence is, there will be moments when you are disconnected. No one can always be at ease.

Wang Yan was a little surprised when he saw her dumbfounded expression.

Is this question so difficult to answer?

What's going on when you suddenly turn into Xiong Er?

Although his ability to flirt with girls is getting better and better, Mr. Wang has never been a lover who particularly understands girls' hearts.

As a powerful man, there is really no need to focus on figuring out girls' thoughts.

If you have ability, you will naturally be considered by girls.

Young Master Wang just needs to lie down and choose whether to accept it or not.

Therefore, Wang Yan didn't understand what the current situation of small public affairs was.

In fact, Fu Yushi's direction of association and Wang Yan's original intention of joking are not at all on the same line.

Because Fu Yushi usually wouldn't think so much or be so biased, but she was so stubborn. During the time alone just now, she was moved by Wang Yan more than once.

My daughter has the most delicate heart, and the dog just went in and out with joy, messing her up...

However, Xiao Gongju's self-control ability is the strongest among her best friends. After being stunned for a moment, she quickly regained her composure.

"Of course I hope you will be the director. The first film will be the heroine. I am under great pressure."

The reason was perfect, and Wang Yan said he could accept it.

"I should be the third director... I'll elaborate more when I have time. Anyway, I will protect you, don't worry."

Wang Yan gave a warm smile and made Fu Yushi lower her head in laughter.

She was always so quiet and reserved. Wang Yan didn't think much and continued to think about directing.

The most ideal situation is to find a new director who is worthy of development and sign a contract with Wang Ting Pictures.

Then, Young Master Wang took the lead and was named as the third director, while the other party was responsible for the specific implementation and signed as the first director.

No audience will care who the third director is. In this way, Wang Yan can film The Witch according to his own ideas while avoiding unnecessary limelight.

How worry-free is it to just let the assistant director handle road shows and promotions?

It just happens to be a talent that can be promoted to one's own company, which is the best of both worlds.

The top people in the industry must know who takes the credit, and it does not affect Wang Yan's influence.

In the future, if there is a particularly outstanding actress who needs to tell a story, she can come in once, twice, three or four times depending on the situation...

The advantage of hiding one's merit and fame is that it is both satisfying and not annoying.

People who are not qualified have no idea who the true master is, and they cannot go to the right temple if they want to worship Buddha.

Wang Yan hated the kind of inexplicable harassment the most. He would rather not be famous than keep his leisure and freedom.

To be a powerful person like a prince, your reputation is like a burden.

…

Fu Yushi naturally didn't expect the twists and turns in Wang Yan's heart. When she heard that he would protect her, she really stopped thinking about it and felt extremely relieved.

In the circle of Di Wu's best friends, Wang Yan is a reputable person, worthy of entrusting...well, a future.

In the evening, Wang Yan hosted a banquet for An Xiaofang and Li Yixu at Shangri-La Shang Palace, and Fu Yushi and Na Wu accompanied them again.

Li Yixu was stunned when he saw Fu Yushi.

There are some things that are not convenient to say in front of everyone. Find an opportunity to chat privately with Wang Yan.

"Young Master Wang, are you really going to praise Miss Fu as a witch?"

Wang Yan was stunned when he was asked: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Li Yixu was speechless: "That's an investment of 100 million... Do you really want to use pure newcomers from your company?"

Originally, Li Yixu thought that Wang Yan and Fu Yushi were just playing for fun, and that the witch was used to please some real princess.

Things like this are very common.

To play, a supporting role is more than enough.

If you dare to spend 5 million to make a short film for a newlywed, you can call it true love.

Wang Yan was lucky enough to come up and throw out 50 million.

Moreover, Li Yixu had met Fu Yushi once and knew that she was just an ordinary girl, not the queen of a big boss as she imagined.

This is terrible...

Wang Yan didn't understand what Li Yixu was surprised about. It was inexplicable.

"What you're asking is, if I don't support the actors I signed, then who will I support?"

Li Yixu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How could you do this...Okay, you are the eldest brother, you make the decision!"

This is the difference in concepts caused by differences in thinking and position.

Li Yixu feels that the heroine of this movie is an important resource that can be used to accomplish many things and exchange for many things.

But Wang Yan just wants the movie to be good, and Fu Yushi is the one who is suitable.

Li Yixu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and soon started gossiping again: "But you are too blatant, aren't you? Aren't you afraid of Princess He..."

Wang Yan had a cold expression.

"You don't understand my brother's strength."

How dare you Miaomiao?

Get her to call daddy!

Well, the purpose of today's dinner party is to drink less, eat more food, and have a good chat.

…

We were all in the same crew, so we didn't have to talk nonsense and made the situation right.

Fu Yushi acted naturally and restrained, while Na Wu was heartless, straightforward and enthusiastic, and both were recognized.

At the end of the chat, An Xiaofang and Li Yixu finally discovered that Fu Yushi and Wang Yan were not in that kind of relationship!

Both of them were startled.

Oh my god, is that too ridiculous? !

Wang Yan didn't explain anything deliberately, and smiled broadly.

An Xiaofang and Li Yixu saw this, and of course they didn't think that he was weak-minded. They just thought that Mr. Wang had strong self-control and loyalty, and they admired him more and more.

Everyone likes such a friend, who will take care of you as soon as possible when something good comes up, without negotiating terms or asking for anything in return.

There are not many people in the rich second-generation circle who are so generous, righteous, and of good character.

In the past, what An Xiaofang most recognized about Wang Yan was his strong ability. Now, the personal relationship has begun to tilt again, and communication has become more careless.

Let’s talk about the gossip in the entertainment industry and the details of the crew’s preparation. Time flies by very quickly.

Finally, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After the show, everyone went back to their homes to do their own business, and everything began to move forward quickly.

An Xiaofang's connections were so wide that in the afternoon of the next day, a small special training crew was officially in place.

A photographer, an acting teacher, an assistant, a painter, and an art director, plus Wang Yan, Fu Yushi, and Na Wu, are more than enough to simulate filming literary dramas.

Start shooting directly.

Fu Yushi mainly practices performances, watching the replay immediately after a section, and the teacher corrects and provides guidance.

Young Master Wang needs to learn to look at the material to determine whether it has the desired effect.

The painter follows the young master 24 hours a day and draws the scene script.

Basically, this is equivalent to students from the directing department leading acting students to shoot short videos to practice, except that they are more targeted and the team is more professional.

Wang Yan spent the two hours of efficient reading time every day reading the director's teaching materials and practicing while learning.

The eldest young master told An Xiaofang no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, he was honest and worked hard.

Of course, fun is the key.

If we continue to work hard like this, the possibility of producing a masterpiece is becoming more and more likely.

Three days later, An Xiaofang found four young directors and sent their materials to Wang Yan for interviews in person.

I don’t even recognize him by his name, and I’m not surprised by his resume.

Yes, let’s talk about it!

As a result, before the conversation could begin, An Xiaofang asked Wang Yan to attend a dinner party.

"The news of the project has spread. Mr. Wang, you are very popular now. I can't resist my friend's enthusiasm. You have to give me face!"

Is there anyone worthy of seeing Brother Yi’s reputation?

I don’t even know when the split-shot script will be finished, so I won’t have time to hang out with you in vain!

Young Master Wang sneered secretly and was about to refuse when An Xiaofang continued: "Big Secret and Guo Yuting will be here today. The next show is Yaya's appointment. Zhazha's agent also asked me..."

stop!

Stop trying to persuade me!

"Mr. An, why are you being polite to me? What's the point of talking about face with just one sentence? Where is it? I'll be there soon!"

The young master suddenly realized that An Xiaofang's connections would be of positive help to the development of Wangting Pictures, so he decided to maintain the relationship and give her some face.

Work is important and cannot be arbitrary.

Yes, it is like that!
