Chapter 187: This script doesn't do justice to my song; the big-name director is devastated.
Soon, a thick script was handed to Wang Yueheng by the other party's staff.
The cover features the four large characters "Journey to the West: A Legend".
In order not to affect the work of other departments of the production team.
After receiving the script, Wang Yueheng simply took Zhou An, Luo Shoucheng, and others to the crew's dressing room.
Then he sat in a chair and flipped through the pages in front of everyone.
To Wang Yueheng's surprise, the story of "Journey to the West" directed by Zhou An differed greatly from his expectations.
Although it is also a movie with a parody theme of Journey to the West.
However, in terms of content, it is much inferior in quality to the classic Journey to the West work from the previous life.
Many of the comedic scenes felt somewhat forced, and the character portrayals were far less compelling than those in the previous work.
After reading the entire script, it fell far short of Wang Yueheng's expectations for an excellent work.
It seems that this world, lacking cultural depth, even struggles to create compelling and pale parodies.
Although the film is made with director Zhou An's name, its box office performance is unlikely to be bad.
But achieving widespread popularity and lasting fame in film history will likely be very difficult.
As he looked at it, Wang Yueheng couldn't help but frown.
If I were to write a theme song for a work like this.
I'm afraid the song will become a hit, but the movie will flop.
In that case, it would be impossible to achieve the required soul level for the song to meet the system's task requirements.
"Ha, now you know how difficult it was to write a song for Director Zhou's film..."
Hong Kong actor Law Shou-shing, sitting opposite Wang Yueheng.
Mistaking Wang Yueheng for being stumped by the script content, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.
It seems my uncle was right.
Not just any artist can casually compose a theme song for Zhou An's movie.
What's more, this is a Cantonese work.
Luo Shoucheng, who had been somewhat nervous, finally relaxed.
Ultimately, the theme song for this song will be awarded to me.
The female lead, Lin Yin, also noticed Wang Yueheng's slightly troubled expression and shared the same thought as Luo Shoucheng.
It seems that even a self-proclaimed genius creator feels immense pressure when faced with director Zhou An's work!
Looking at Wang Yueheng's furrowed brows, Mo Zixue couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.
But she quickly adjusted her mindset.
After all, no one is perfect, and Wang Yueheng's ability to communicate with Zhou An and others in Cantonese was already far beyond her expectations.
As for whether I can write a song, it's not shameful if I can't.
"Director Zhou... I've roughly finished reading this script..."
After a while, Wang Yueheng closed the script, looked up and said.
"So, do you have any creative inspiration or ideas?"
Having already learned about Wang Yueheng's Cantonese proficiency, Zhou An switched back to Mandarin and asked with a smile.
"Brother Yue Heng, don't feel any pressure. Just tell us frankly. Anyway, we have backup songs."
Hong Kong star Law Shou-shing stood aside and said with a forced smile.
They were afraid that Wang Yueheng would be too embarrassed to admit that he couldn't write a suitable work.
"Yes, please feel free to ask any questions. I'm sure Director Zhou will understand."
"The female lead, Lin Yin, said with a charming smile."
She also felt that Wang Yueheng was not sure of the essence of the play and could not write a suitable theme song, so she looked troubled.
As a Hong Kong star, Lin Yin also preferred to find outstanding Hong Kong composers to write songs for Zhou An's films.
As for mainland singers, it's extremely difficult to write songs that match the works of the genius director Zhou An.
"Since that's the case, then I'll just say it directly."
Wang Yueheng nodded thoughtfully in response to the other party's suggestion.
