Chapter 76 I Write What I Feel
But now that I'm with Zhen Liang, I've learned a bit from what I've seen and heard that things are done differently in Europe.
Those large luxury goods companies have long since acquired numerous luxury brands.
A luxury goods company like this may own dozens, or even hundreds, of luxury brands.
Therefore, these large international luxury goods companies are extremely powerful and have a terrifying influence.
Its influence extends to control the entire fashion industry, the European and American film and television industry, high society, and so on.
In recent years, due to the rapid development of the domestic economy, these companies have also set their sights on the domestic market and have continuously increased their investment in its development.
This is why Zhen Liang became famous at the César Awards and was immediately valued by many international brands, who either endorsed her or filmed her movies, making Zhen Liang very wealthy.
The person Zhen Liang brought to meet Wang Xiaohao this time was the vice president of the domestic branch of a luxury goods company.
This vice president, in his thirties and also from China, possessed a very capable and efficient demeanor; he was clearly the kind of high-achieving professional from a large company. He gave off a rather unapproachable vibe.
However, once inside the private room, the vice president lost his aloof demeanor and became very intimate with Zhen Liang.
It's said that the two are now best friends who can talk about anything!
However, Wang Xiaohao had some doubts in his heart!
As far as Wang Xiaohao knew, the fashion and luxury goods industry was the most uninhibited and unconventional. Wouldn't it be a case of two people getting together and creating a rosy relationship?
Fortunately, Wang Xiaohao and Zhen Liang's relationship is at most that of business partners and running buddies.
It wouldn't be accurate to say that his head was covered in green!
And what's that saying from this era? "Laugh at poverty, not prostitution." Uh, no, it means if you want to make a living, you have to be cuckolded!
Zhen Liang, of course, was unaware of Wang Xiaohao's wild thoughts. She introduced Zhao Yuanyuan to Wang Xiaohao, saying, "This is my best friend."
He is also the vice president of GM Group's domestic branch, specifically responsible for GG business.
Yuanyuan, this is our director, Wang Xiaohao! He's very talented and capable!
Didn't we watch the "My Sassy Girl" videotape together a while ago?
It was directed by this director, Mr. Wang!
Zhao Yuanyuan's eyes lit up immediately: "Director Wang is so young, yet he can still make such a great film. We should all work together more often in the future!"
Wang Xiaohao was slightly taken aback. At first glance, Zhao Yuanyuan seemed to be the type of career elite who also dealt in luxury goods.
Wang Xiaohao had assumed this woman would be the kind of person who would wear Prada like the Devil.
Simply put, she's like the Abbess Miejue!
However, this seemingly shrewd and capable woman actually enjoys watching movies like "My Sassy Girl".
Then, considering that Zhen Liang also really liked that movie, Wang Xiaohao understood why the two of them had become best friends!
Wang Xiaohao smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhao, you're too kind! I just like to think things through and daydream when I have nothing to do!"
Zhao Yuanyuan laughed and said, "So, Director Wang's new movie was just something he came up with out of thin air?"
Of course it was plagiarized and adapted by me!
However, Wang Xiaohao would never say that. He shamelessly admitted it directly, saying, "Yes!"
The movie is called "My Love from the Star," or you could call it "Star Love" for short!
That's right, the third movie Wang Xiaohao prepared for himself is "My Love from the Star," the idol drama that was incredibly popular in his previous life.
However, Wang Xiaohao adapted it into a movie!
Why do this?
In his previous life, Wang Xiaohao had already traveled back to 6202. The plot of "My Love from the Star" was no longer new; one could easily find dozens of similar idol dramas.
Why bother looking for such an old movie?
But the problem is, Wang Xiaohao is straight!
What straight man watches idol dramas?
He only watched a portion of the TV series because it was so popular back then. He didn't even finish watching it!
However, the success of his first film gave Wang Xiaohao a lot of confidence, and he was able to adapt a movie script based on the general plot and scenes of "My Love from the Star".
What is the core of "My Love from the Star"?
In Wang Xiaohao's view, it's actually very simple; it's nothing more than the fairy tale of Cinderella and the prince.
Some people might disagree, thinking that the female lead is a big star, so how did she become Cinderella?
But you should know that this big star is a beautiful but clueless woman who can't do anything, and she's also in a career slump, suffering from being criticized everywhere.
What else could this be but Cinderella who needs a prince to save her!
That's why Wang Xiaohao said that movies and television were originally fairy tales for adults!
With this core concept in place, adding plot elements based on the overall structure is simple!
In fact, before Wang Xiaohao approached Wang Xiaoshuang, he had already considered whether to film "My Love from the Star" or "Savage".
After all, both dramas' leading ladies are very suitable for Wang Xiaoshuang!
One is in a similar situation, and the other is similar in personality!
Needless to say, they have similar personalities.
The similar situation refers to the fact that Wang Xiaoshuang was also in a situation of being universally criticized online at the time.
Actually, casting Wang Xiaoshuang in "My Love from the Star" would have been more appropriate, as it would have been a stronger irony.
However, the filming of "My Love from the Star" was obviously more difficult.
It also involves adaptation.
Wang Xiaohao didn't really have the ability to directly adapt a TV series into a movie at the time.
That's why Wang Xiaohao ultimately chose "Savage"!
In fact, after gaining experience with two feature films, Wang Xiaohao is confident in creating an original screenplay.
However, just to be on the safe side...
The main reason is to give readers a strong sense of immersion, so Wang Xiaohao still chooses to drastically adapt old movies.
Otherwise, even if you describe a movie plot that no reader has ever seen, no one will be able to guess what it will be like.
Humans cannot imagine things they have never seen before!
This is also why creating art is difficult!
Often, creating something new is described as "making something out of nothing," simply because it has never happened before.
You must transform it out of thin air, create it!
Wang Xiaohao felt that he now had the ability to create original works.
However, original works might lack a sense of immersion, so Wang Xiaohao still wants to adapt films and television series from his previous life.
Moreover, Wang Xiaohao felt that as a creator, it was meaningless to film exactly the original version!
Therefore, even if it is an adaptation, it is best to bring something new and innovative!
This is why those great directors in the past would forgo collaborations with the great screenwriters and writers who brought them fame and fortune, and instead find people to write their own scripts.
A major reason is that when filming based on the texts of great screenwriters and writers, those great directors feel like puppets with insufficient room for creative expression.
Therefore, I'm very unhappy!
Ancient literati believed in expressing their innermost thoughts through their writing.
Great directors also want to film the stories they want to tell and the things they want to say...
