Chen Fan's idea is to let Wen Wan enter the film and television industry and directly become a screenwriter, director or actor.
Of course, in the beginning, it is easier for screenwriters to enter the industry, because as long as your script is good, people will naturally appreciate it.
After listening to Chen Fan's suggestion, Wen Wan was a little amused.
"Nothing is that easy in the world. Especially in the film and television industry, it is even more difficult to get in. Generally, no one will pay attention to you as a newcomer..."
Chen Fan smiled and encouraged, "You have to give it a try. How can you know if it works without trying?"
Wen Wan shook her head, "Writing a script also requires creativity and inspiration, and it can't be written overnight."
Chen Fanshen pulled out the printed script from his pocket and handed it over with a smile.
“That’s why I said I could help you.”
Wen Wan took the A4 paper with a puzzled look on her face, and was stunned after reading the title.
"What's the script outline for 'Hero'?"
She looked up at Chen Fan, her face full of question marks, but she continued to look down and read the contents later.
The more I looked at Wenwan's expression, the more surprised I became.
Chen Fan sat opposite and asked the waiter for two drinks.
Without disturbing the other party, Chen Fan sat alone in his seat, drinking a drink while looking at the pedestrians on the road outside the window.
Wen Wan spent about half an hour reading the script from beginning to end. When she looked up at Chen Fan again, her expression became very strange.
"Did you write this script?"
Chen Fan nodded.
"How is it?"
"That's easy."
Wen Wan hesitated for a moment and added: "The script is very well written. If I knew you, I would have thought it was written by a professional film and television screenwriter. But..."
"What?"
"But your script is weird..."
Wen Wan shook her head. "There has never been such content before. It's just that your idea is too grand and ambitious."
"If we really shoot according to what you wrote, with so many big-name stars in the cast, plus the post-production you suggested... do you know how much it would cost?"
"This kind of big investment and big production... has never been seen before in the country. Because it is very likely that the film will be a box office hit, and even the production company will lose all its money."
Chen Fan smiled. From what she said, it seemed that Wen Wan was a qualified screenwriter, which showed that she knew the film and television industry very well.
But Wen Wan knew one thing, that is, as Hollywood movies conquered China, some domestic film and television figures had begun to sit still.
Some people yearn to make such a blockbuster and want to be the first to try it.
The movie "Hero" was the first to take the plunge.
This movie completely opened the prelude to the commercialization of domestic blockbuster movies, and prompted many production companies and directors to shoot a lot of four-dimensional blockbusters.
Moreover, Chen Fan felt that this movie could only be shot by Lao Mou. No one else could capture the flavor of the traditional Chinese style.
In its previous life, Hero had 15 million viewers, and the box office in China alone reached 250 million, with a global box office of 177 million US dollars, breaking many records for domestic films.
However, such a movie was criticized harshly by domestic film critics and audiences, a typical example of a box office success.
It doesn't matter if you are good or bad, as long as you make money.
What Chen Fan needs now is to help Wen Wan gain fame.
As long as this first movie became a hit, Wen Wan basically had one foot in the film and television industry.
"Don't worry about my script for now. Just tell me if the movie is made according to my requirements, if it were you, would you buy a ticket to the theater?"
Wenwan thought about it and nodded.
"Can."
"We don't have this kind of Hollywood blockbuster movie in our country yet. I think most moviegoers will buy tickets to watch it in the cinema out of curiosity."
Chen Fan snapped his fingers.
"Yes. That's it."
"Now let's ask the second question. Are you willing to enter the film and television industry as a screenwriter?"
Chen Fan smiled and explained: "This is what I thought. Since you have relevant knowledge and experience, you can first enter the film and television industry as a screenwriter. After you become well-known, you can try to write scripts and be a director yourself.
"Of course, if you are willing, you can also be an actor yourself."
Wenwan fell silent.
Just when Chen Fan thought Wen Wan might refuse, Wen Wan suddenly looked up at him with a bitter smile.
"I have never been so miserable in my life."
"Do you think I have the right to choose?"
"Just before you contacted me, I called a hotel and was about to work as a waiter for a while."
Wen Wan stared at Chen Fan and spoke with complicated eyes.
"I used to hate the entertainment industry, but now I don't have that many ideas. I need money, a lot of money."
"So as long as I can make money, I don't mind trying."
After hearing this, Chen Fan suddenly grinned.
"It's good that you can say that. It means you have figured it out and grown."
Wenwan's expression was a little too natural. "I am a person who only knows worldly things. How can I possibly understand that?"
Chen Fan laughed teasingly in a low voice: "When you were still in school, you were just a fairy who ate fireworks in our eyes."
"What?" Wen Wan didn't hear clearly.
"Nothing."
Chen Fan smiled and changed the subject.
"Okay. Now that you agree, the rest is easy. We just need to find a way to sell this script."
Wen Wan was a little worried, "It's not that easy to sell the script."
"Without channels, connections, and most importantly, without fame, those film and television companies may not even let you meet them."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry. I've already thought about it for you."
"Come on, I'll take you to meet some people."
Seeing Chen Fan stand up, Wen Wan stood up curiously.
"Go?"
"Keep it a secret for now, you'll know when you get there."
The place Chen Fan took Wen Wan to was the New Generation Music Studio.
Chen Fan is not unfamiliar with this place. It was here that he first released a song under the online name Fan Rusu.
The two partners of this studio are old friends who are familiar with each other.
When Chen Fan brought Wen Wan into the store, the long-haired young man Wang Xu and his partner Li Changjun, who had called in advance, were already waiting in the store.
"You finally showed up."
As soon as they met, Wang Xu pulled Chen Fan and relaxed.
"We agreed that you would come back to us if you had a good song, but you disappeared for more than a year."
"You know, people in the circle have been asking about you guys."
"Just a few days ago, I was drinking with some friends in the music industry, and we talked about your songs."
"They say it's such a pity that you're releasing a new song now..."
Wen Wan stood beside Chen Fan, looking at the scene in a daze.
What did they say?
What song?
Who sings?
Chen Fan?
