Chapter 928 Director Lin, I am really convinced!

Finished shooting?

Wen Hongjun was dumbfounded.

Didn't we agree to let me take a look at the script before you started filming? I didn't even see you start filming, how come you've finished it? To this, Lin Fan had to explain: "Writer Wen, I'm really sorry. I agreed to invite you to take a look at the script before filming. But after filming "The Investiture of the Gods", the preparations for "Journey to the West" were not yet complete, and I had nothing else to do, so I started filming the movie."

Anyway, Liang Wen has completed the preparations for this movie and can start shooting at any time.

Lin Fan originally thought that he would shoot a part first and then slowly shoot the rest, which would not affect the overall shooting plan at all. But who would have thought that this movie would be shot so smoothly.

If I wasn't careful, I'd finished filming.

This is also because the actors chosen for this movie are all from the family. Otherwise, if other actors were used, Lin Fan would not be able to do it so smoothly.

It’s so easy to use our own actors.

Having just finished filming The Investiture of the Gods, I can seamlessly transition to filming the next TV series. If I were to use actors from other companies, I would have trouble coordinating my schedule.

Therefore, Lin Fan has been urging Yang Hongxia to sign as many artists as possible. After all, there is no need to worry about not having movies to shoot, so no matter how many artists he has, Lin Fan can arrange them.

Wen Hongjun was also helpless: "It's over once the filming is done. The key is, can I still read the script?"

After all, I am an outsider. I just mentioned this matter casually at the beginning. Even if Lin Fan deliberately didn't tell me, there is nothing I can do.

But Wen Hongjun really wanted to see Lin Fan's script. Only by understanding Lin Fan's level in suspense scripts could he convince Lin Fan to accept his script and cooperate with him to make the most perfect suspense movie in China.

To be honest, although Wen Hongjun admires Lin Fan very much and thinks that Lin Fan's creative level is very high, when it comes to suspense scripts, Wen Hongjun feels that he still has some say.

After all, in the past decade, the most popular suspense movies and TV series in the Chinese film and television market have all been written by Wen Hongjun.

But apart from mutual respect, masters may also dislike each other for no reason. In order to prevent Lin Fan from disliking him, Wen Hongjun has already lowered his posture, just to get a chance to cooperate with Lin Fan.

And this time, it is the opportunity that Wen Hongjun can seize, so Wen Hongjun will not give up until the last moment.

Who would have thought that Lin Fan would be so generous and say, "What script are you looking at? Writer Wen, how about coming with me to watch the sample?"

Wen Hongjun was shocked: "Have the samples been cut?"

Lin Fan was very sad: "Yeah, the guys in the editing room are so efficient!"

I even wanted to make an excuse that the post-production editing was not completed and I couldn't even take a break. I was so sad.

The two people's train of thought were clearly not on the same track, but they somehow talked about the same thing, and then they ran to the editing room arm in arm to watch the freshly produced sample film.

According to Lin Fan's idea, the final version of the film should be about 120 minutes long, which is just the right length to tell a suspenseful story in two hours.

However, as a sample film, it obviously did not meet Lin Fan's final requirements. It was 150 minutes long and contained many redundant shots, which needed to be refined again.

But this does not affect an excellent suspense drama screenwriter from appreciating the core of this movie and the ideas it conveys.

Wen Hongjun never thought that a suspense drama could be filmed at a philosophical level.

The settings in this movie are linked one after another, the consequences that the male protagonist will face after each choice, and the sad ending, suddenly made me feel that I didn’t understand suspense at all.

The key point is that at this time, Lin Fan still asked for his own opinion: "Writer Wen, how is my movie? Is it acceptable to you?"

If Wen Hongjun didn't know that Lin Fan had no grudge against him, he would have thought that Lin Fan was deliberately being Versailles and mocking him! "It's so wonderful! Really, Director Lin, I never thought that a suspense drama could be shot like this. It really interprets the unexpected and reasonable things to the fullest, and the ending is also very intriguing."

Wen Hongjun was really full of admiration for Lin Fan at this moment: "Director Lin, I am really convinced. I never believed that there were all-rounders in this world before, but after seeing Director Lin, I realized that I was narrow-minded. Some people, like Director Lin, are all-rounders!"

While Wen Hongjun admired him, he also felt a little sad. After all, Lin Fan could write such a good suspense script, so wouldn't he never have the chance to work with Lin Fan on a suspense drama? Unexpectedly, Lin Fan's next words made Wen Hongjun feel that there was always a way out: "I wonder if screenwriter Wen is interested in joining our Earthling Studio? Of course, if you don't want to join, we can also choose another way to cooperate."

People like Wen Hongjun, who are already famous screenwriters in the industry, usually have their own studios. After all, no matter how good a screenwriter is, there will be times when he needs someone to help him fill in the script.

It is also very common for one person to be fully responsible for all work including writing, revising, checking details, etc. of a script from beginning to end. Most unknown screenwriters do this.

But for a famous screenwriter like Wen Hongjun, this is not the case. Many people are willing to work for him for free in order to get some advice or affirmation from Wen Hongjun, so that they can have a chance to stand out in this circle.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

That's why Lin Fan suggested that even if Wen Hongjun didn't want to join him, there could be other ways to cooperate.

After all, Lin Fan has quite a few series on his hands. Usually, the scripts for the first and second parts are very good, but by the third or even fourth part, they are completely unwatchable, relying entirely on sentimentality to hold the show together.

Lin Fan wanted to film all these series, but he was too lazy to revise the subsequent scripts himself, so he urgently needed an excellent screenwriter to help him complete these tasks.

Wen Hongjun is a very good choice.

Lin Fan was originally worried that Wen Hongjun would not agree, or even get angry and feel humiliated. After all, he was a famous screenwriter.

But who would have thought that Wen Hongjun agreed so readily: "No problem, I'm willing to join the Earthling Studio!"

Lin Fan was still a little incredulous: "Then if you join, what about your team?"

Wen Hongjun was bewildered and said, "Team? What team? I don't have a team. I wrote all my scripts by myself."

Lin Fan: ...He is a ruthless person! (End of this chapter)
