Chapter 46 Fake Intellectual
Chapter 46 Fake Intellectual
In fact, if Wang Xiaohao had come to her with the script for "My Sassy Girl," she might not have been able to tell whether it was good or bad!
However, Wang Xiaohao's storyboard sketches were so beautiful and evocative.
Often, just a few strokes are enough to capture the essence of the subject.
Whether it's amidst a vast snowfield, the female protagonist calling out to the distant snow-capped mountains, "How are you? I'm fine!"
The scene in the library, where a gentle breeze blows, lifting the curtains, and sunlight shines on the handsome young man's face, is beautiful enough to move anyone.
Wang Xiaohao continued to explain in detail: "This movie is actually about the unrequited love story between young boys and girls!"
The most unforgettable first love is the innocent love of youth, but unfortunately, both parties have already missed their chance.
The female protagonist never knew that there was once a boy who had made her heart flutter and had a crush on her.
It wasn't until later, with the arrival of a letter, that everything changed...
He made his voice deep and slightly hoarse, which was perfect for telling a story.
As he told his story, he quickly drew Jin Ningxin and her assistant over.
Jin Ningxin stopped looking at the script and listened to Wang Xiaohao slowly tell a story about a first love, a missed opportunity, but a heartwarming and healing tale.
Women who are more emotional are always very interested in stories like this!
Clearly, Jin Ningxin's assistant listened more attentively than Jin Ningxin herself!
Jin Ningxin blinked her big eyes, looking adorably silly. Sometimes, it felt like she couldn't understand a word she said!
On the contrary, Jin Ningxin's assistant listened very attentively!
Her assistant was a woman in her thirties, who clearly had enough experience to understand such a story!
After a long while, the story was finished. Jin Ningxin said perfunctorily, "Director Wang, you are truly talented! This movie is so beautiful!"
By the way, why don't you make another romance movie like "My Sassy Girl"?
I actually prefer that kind!
Wang Xiaohao's heart skipped a beat; he realized he had chosen the wrong film.
Based on the information gathered previously, Wang Xiaohao thought that Jin Ningxin would prefer a more profound love story like "Love Letter".
According to some reports, Ms. Jin Ningxin enjoys reading rather profound philosophical books.
Paparazzi once photographed her on a date with a male friend, and the two ended up discussing philosophy for half the afternoon in a coffee shop. The paparazzi were utterly disappointed!
Wang Xiaohao believed it to be true, which is why he specifically brought out the script "Love Letter".
Love Letter is not just a simple love story; it also contains reflections on life and death.
In Wang Xiaohao's opinion, this should be the content that artsy young women like the most!
Now it seems that this is not the case.
It's possible that reading philosophy books is just a publicity stunt, a way to create a persona!
This Ms. Jin Ningxin is clearly not the kind of sentimental, melancholic female literary youth!
It doesn't seem like it involves any deep philosophical contemplation on life and death!
Clearly, they prefer action-packed movies!
Wang Xiaohao was about to change course, saying that he could actually write other types of romance movies.
But at that moment, the assistant scolded, "Xin Xin, Director Wang has artistic aspirations!"
Seeing Wang Xiaohao looking at her with surprise, Jin Ningxin quickly explained, "This is my cousin!"
Wang Xiaohao remembered that Jin Ningxin had introduced her assistant as Lü Xuan earlier.
Now I realize this person isn't just an ordinary assistant; they seem more like Jin Ningxin's guardian!
There's a very bad phenomenon in the entertainment industry: instead of seeking professional help to plan their career path, people often turn to so-called relatives or family members to act as assistants or even agents.
These people are often more trouble than they're worth!
Many times, things go wrong because of them!
Of course, these relatives are often much more reliable than regular assistants or agents!
At least they won't easily betray you!
Therefore, using one's own relatives as staff members is a very common phenomenon in the entertainment industry.
I never expected that Jin Ningxin would ask her cousin to be her assistant!
Generally speaking, assistants in this industry have low status and income; to be precise, very low.
Sometimes, assistants to big stars only earn a few thousand yuan a month. They have to work themselves to the bone to serve the stars, which can even be described as servitude.
Wang Xiaoshuang's assistants were often the targets of her anger; she would beat or scold them at the drop of a hat!
So Wang Xiaohao had never really paid attention to Lü Xuan.
Only now did I notice that Lü Xuan was a woman in her thirties, plump and voluptuous, and quite beautiful.
Of course, she's nowhere near as good as Jin Ningxin!
Wang Xiaohao thought to himself, looking at Lü Xuan beside Jin Ningxin, she didn't seem like an ordinary assistant; she must be playing part of the role of a manager!
This kind of person is obviously unprofessional!
It's possible that many of the bad movies Jin Ningxin has made are related to this assistant, Lü Xuan!
Of course, one shouldn't distance oneself from relatives, since she is Jin Ningxin's cousin.
Wang Xiaohao naturally wouldn't waste time with such pleasantries; he simply greeted her quickly, "Assistant Lü!"
Lü Xuan smiled and said, "Director Wang is truly talented; he can write both 'My Sassy Girl' and such a beautiful story as 'Love Letter'!"
Her words were clearly sincere, and her tone was much more earnest than Jin Ningxin's.
Clearly, this person should be able to understand the artistic story of "Love Letter" better than Jin Ningxin!
Perhaps this is related to age and experience?
She asked, "Director Wang! Your first film was a commercial film, which was very interesting and heartwarming."
Why didn't you continue making commercial films? Why did you release an art film like this?
Wang Xiaohao smiled slightly and said, "Every director has an artistic dream!"
Almost every director, even those who start with commercial films, will eventually make an art film to express themselves after making one or two films!
Moreover, this film, "Love Letter," isn't exactly a standard art film; the story itself is actually quite good!
I don't need much investment, at most 20 million. I think you'll have no problem breaking even!
And Miss Jin... Miss Ningxin should be able to land a classic role that her fans will never forget, even one or two decades from now!
"Besides," Wang Xiaohao said, his smile unchanged, but his tone had become sharp and assertive.
"If I wanted to make a commercial film, why would I need to contact your company?"
I can just contact the investors of my previous film directly!
Or, other film companies, knowing I'm going to make commercial films, will definitely invest in me!
Lü Xuan nodded slightly, indicating that Wang Xiaohao's words made sense.
Given the quality of Wang Xiaohao's first film, "My Sassy Girl," it shouldn't be too difficult for him to raise 20 million yuan to make his next movie!
Of course, if it's an art-house romance film like "Love Letter," then the risk would be much greater, and it wouldn't be so easy to secure investment!
