Chen Jin flipped open the script and started reading, page by page.
Chen Jin was more attentive. It took him half an hour to finish reading the script of more than 10,000 words. He smiled at many parts of the script.
When he finished reading the last page, he nodded and praised, "Not bad, this script is really not bad."
Shi Xiaotao's script was actually a heartwarming and somewhat conventional story.
Wa-wah accepted the mission of protecting the earth's environment and entered a family of four. It began a series of stories with the eldest daughter, Lan Lan, and the youngest son, Ah Bao.
Eight-year-old Lan Lan was more sensible, liked cleanliness, and liked Wa-wah very much.
Six-year-old Ah Bao was a mischievous child who created all kinds of pranks. The arrival of Wa-wah became Ah Bao's main target of mischief. It caused Wa-wah to smoke and malfunction, and it almost died.
Wa-wah hated and was afraid of Ah Bao. It avoided him as much as it could. In private, Wa-wah often complained and complained that humans were too evil.
Then, two evil human traffickers targeted Lan Lan and Ah Bao. They took advantage of the absence of their parents and kidnapped them.
Wa-wah went to rescue them.
After experiencing all sorts of exciting battles of wits and courage, the Wa-wah robot successfully rescued Lan Lan and Ah'Bao. The evil human trafficker, whose head was full of bumps from Wa-wah, was punished by the law.
During this process, Lan Lan and Ah Bao discovered that Wa-wah could speak.
After Wa-wah rescued them, Lan Lan and Ah Bao treated Wa-wah as their best friend. Ah Bao no longer played pranks and became a sensible and clean child. In order to let Wa-wah play with him, he even helped Wa-wah clean the house.
A happy family story came to an end.
However, Shi Xiaotao said that this was only the first film in a series. If the first film was a hit, the sequels could be built on the foundation of the first film. Then, there would be a second and third film. There would be no need to fear that there would be no story to film!
Chen Jin nodded. "It seems that you have a very thorough understanding of the industrial assembly line model of successful Hollywood movies. You want to be a commercial film director, right?"
Shi Xiaotao rolled her eyes. "Isn't the purpose of making movies to earn money? What kind of movie is a movie if no one watches it? What kind of director is a director if he doesn't earn money? I'm a firm businessman. Anyway, the movies I make must earn money. I won't do a business that loses money to make a profit! "
"But how are you going to get an award like this? Like the Golden Rooster Awards and the Hundred Flowers Awards, the winners are all movies that aren't very popular. What if they don't win? "
Chen Jin could not help but ask. He felt that Shi Xiao Tao's idea was quite interesting.
"Why do they need to win awards to prove themselves? Isn't the box office earnings the best award? One billion box office earnings means that the movie is not bad. Two billion box office earnings means that the movie is very good. Three billion box office earnings means that the director is awesome … I want to become the most awesome director. "
"Hahaha ~"
Chen Jin was amused. "You're very pragmatic. I like this very much."
"In addition, regarding the movie 'Wa-wah Robot,' my personal idea is to make it into a sci-fi movie, telling a story about the sea of stars. However, your thinking is completely correct. From the box office performance, it would be better to make it into a family movie that is suitable for all ages. It would be more beneficial to increasing the popularity of the Wa-wah robot."
"So, this script of yours is approved. Just find a professional scriptwriter to make some minor edits. I can give you the rights to adapt the film and television works."
In the mainland of Z country, hard-core sci-fi movies were still relatively niche. Those with intense and exciting scenes, blockbusters with special effects, and urban comedies were more popular. Shi Xiao Tao's business vision was still very accurate. According to her script, as long as the quality of the movie was good, it should not be a problem to get two or three billion box office earnings.
As for the sci-fi movie of the Wa-wah robot, Chen Jin did not give up. Instead, he planned to open another "sci-fi series" in addition to the "Family Movie Series" and hand it over to a director who was good at making sci-fi movies. Of course, he would not find someone to make the movie now. He would shoot it after the "Family Movie Series" became popular.
"Really?"
Shi Xiao Tao jumped up happily. "That's great! Thank you, thank you, Chief Chen, for giving me this opportunity!"
As a new director who had yet to produce any full-length works, Shi Xiao Tao was really surprised and surprised to receive such recognition and trust. Of course, part of her own ability was also involved.
"Don't be too happy just yet!"
Chen Jin waved his hand. "You've only passed the first test. Next, I hope that you can make a movie demo of this script. It doesn't need to be too long, just three minutes will do. Bring it over for me to see. If the demo is done well and the quality is up to standard, then there's a possibility of further cooperation between us."
This was why so many directors who approached Chen Jin never followed up. Chen Jin's requirements were too harsh. He wanted a script and a movie demo. They had invested tens of millions of dollars into it, but they were not sure if they could get a chance to work with him. Who would dare to do something like that?
But Shi Xiao Tao dared!
And she threw herself into it wholeheartedly.
From this, one could see the courage of this girl. Or perhaps … a newborn calf was not afraid of a tiger.
"Alright! I'll immediately set up a team and start the production of the movie. But I have a small request that I hope you can agree to, Chief Chen. "
"Speak."
"I want to borrow the art style of the 'Wa-wah Robot' series of commercials. Or, I want to directly use the images of the robots. This can effectively reduce the workload of our art and speed up the production of the movie … Chief Chen, if you have the relevant materials, I hope that you can provide them to me for reference. It would be very troublesome to redesign everything, and it would take up to two to three months."
Shi Xiao Tao was a semi-professional cartoonist. She had a good foundation in art! But she knew that art design was cumbersome and complicated, especially for an animated movie. She did not know how much material would be needed.
If she had a ready-made reference, it would save a lot of work.
"Alright, no problem. I can give you the materials for the commercials!"
Chen Jin nodded. He had seen Shi Xiao Tao's determination and drive. So, he decided to give her a chance to try.
"Thank you, Chief Chen. Thank you, Chief Chen!"
Shi Xiao Tao was overjoyed. She secretly clenched her small fists. Her heart was filled with excitement. Yay! It's a success! I can definitely make the movie! I can definitely succeed!
The discussion of the cooperation was completed.
Chen Jin sent her to the elevator and told her that he would send her the materials in two days. They shook hands again … and Shi Xiao Tao left Shang Hai.
…
The morning of April 11th.
Chen Jin hurriedly arrived at Forever Jewels Store.
Once he got out of the car, he went straight to the third floor. In the lounge, he saw the store manager, Chiu Wan-Ting.
Chen Jin was shocked when he saw her appearance. He could not help but exclaim, "Auntie Chiu, did your husband beat you up to this state?"
The image of Chiu Wan-Ting in front of him was indeed a little horrifying.
Her nose was bruised and her face was swollen. There was a spot on her cheek that was swollen to the size of a fist. Her hair was messy, her eyes were lifeless, and her hands were wrapped in gauze. The store manager's uniform was torn in many places. Countless purple, red, and yellow scars could be seen on her neck, collar, and legs.
It could be said that not only was her face disfigured, but her body could also be described as covered in cuts and bruises.
Who did it?
Of course, it was her husband!
Just this morning, Chiu Wan-Ting's husband had gone crazy. After she had made breakfast and was preparing to go to work, he actually asked her to clean up the house before leaving.
"There's a robot to clean up the house, I don't have to do it! Also, order your own takeout for lunch. I'm not coming back to cook, "Chiu Wan-Ting said coldly.
"What? I don't need you to sweep? "
The man rushed to the side of the Wa-wah robot. He first kicked it over, then stomped on it madly. "I don't need you to sweep! I don't need you to sweep! "
In a short while, the robot had been stomped into a state of spare parts.
"Huang You De, are you crazy?!" Chiu Wan-Ting threw something at him!
"Don't go to work! Stay at home and obediently sweep the floor and cook! "The man walked over with red eyes, like a mad dog.
Slap! Chiu Wan-Ting gave him a slap.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
The two of them immediately got into a scuffle.
By the time Chiu Wan-Ting rushed to the store, she was already in this state.
…
"Auntie Chiu, you can't take it anymore. A man like that is a coward and a good-for-nothing! Other than finding a balance on top of you, he's a good-for-nothing! Now that he's using domestic violence on you, he might take your life another day! For your own safety, you must stay away from scum like that. You must divorce him! "
Chen Jin clenched his fist as he spoke. The veins on his forehead were bulging. He looked extremely angry.
"Yes! Chief Chen is right. Store Manager, you must divorce him! "
"The Domestic Violence Law stipulates that you can unilaterally file for a divorce. He has to agree even if he doesn't agree. The law will support you!"
"Yes, Store Manager, you've been beaten to this state. This is definitely serious domestic violence!"
The employees tried to persuade her.
Looking at the store manager's bruised appearance, Guo Yan's tears fell. She pulled her hand and cried, "Store Manager, cherish your life and stay away from scumbags! We women have to learn to protect ourselves! "
"Yeah …"
Chiu Wan-Ting groaned and slowly nodded.
