The process of meeting the original author of the Crucible novel went smoothly.
The writer who gave up the copyright and sold it directly, but chose to join the crew as a screenwriter, all he has to determine is why William Wang wants to adapt this novel.
From the writing of this book, to its publication, and to now, as the author, he has faced a lot of pressure from all sides.
After all, this is a dark and cruel documentary literature that exposes reality, and the characters in it all have prototypes in reality.
And these archetypes are not guilty in the court's verdict......
Therefore, they are still alive and well, and they can naturally give this author a lot of trouble.
He never thought that anyone would want to adapt the book into a movie and release it.
"I joined the crew as a screenwriter, not to get paid, I just hope that the core of this novel will not be changed."
The first thing the author said after meeting William Wang was this.
"It's like the one I wrote in the novel......"
"We are moving forward, not to change the world, but not to let the world change us."
William Wang nodded.
This is the most impressive sentence that William Wang has seen in this novel.
With just two simple sentences, the author understands that his worries seem to be a bit redundant.
Although I don't know what a person like William Wang invested in filming his own novel, it is at least certain that he did not intend to touch the core of the book when he was going to make this movie.
That's enough.
Once you've decided on the topic, it's time for the details.
The writer is actually a little worried, because he has never written a screenplay, and it is not very clear what the requirements for the script are and what kind of format is required.
But that's not a problem, William Wang has a script on the computer in the café.
The succubus was adapted before.
And seeing that the script had been written, the writer was not only shocked, but also moved.
It seems that this young master who seems to be indifferent, and is always complained about on the Internet and various media, is a rich young master who doesn't care about anything, and he really cares about what is said in this novel.
The ensuing negotiations went very smoothly.
After roughly reading William Wang's script, the writer said that he could just follow this, and he didn't have any opinions.
And the rest of the signing and other things don't need him to talk to William Wang.
"Now that it's decided, let's start the character selection right away."
Li Zhi saw that the matter between William Wang and the writer had been finished, and began to talk about business matters, "Does the writer need to get involved?"
” "It's better if you can......
Well, I still have a general idea of what these characters look like in my mind.
The writer nodded.
"I hope I can have an actress from our company play that heroine."
William Wang interjected a sentence next to him.
"Who?
Liu Renna?
Or Han Hyo-joo?
Li Zhi was stunned by William Wang's words.
Are you really going to let Liu Renna come?
” “…… You think I'm joking when I said it before?
” "No, recently we arranged for her to play a female number two in a TV series."
"Female No. 2 again?"
William Wang smiled.
"Liu Renna doesn't have the temperament to play the leading role, didn't you say that?"
Li Zhi was a little speechless.
"Then Han Hyo-joo!
At the beginning of the year, she didn't have any decent itinerary after she finished playing Tongyi, right?

William Wang didn't want to be too ignorant of the itinerary of his artists, so he took advantage of the situation to change the topic, "And my cooperation with Xiaozhu is also familiar ......"
"Don't have an itinerary?
That's just that you don't care if it's good or not!
She has acted in two TV series and one movie this year!
Li Zhi was a little speechless.
"That's right......
Then ask her if she would like to play a heroine who has no emotional drama with me!
William Wang felt that his pretense had completely failed, so he gave up completely.
"Hmm......
The heroine who doesn't have any emotional drama, I think she should be very interested.
Hearing this, Li Zhina smiled.
"Can I go and see the casting if it's convenient?"
The writer nodded, but did not object violently.
"That's fine."
Li Zhina nodded, "William Wang and Han Xiaozhu......
What do you have to worry about with such a match!
” "That's ......," the writer was slightly stunned for a moment, and laughed a little self-deprecatingly.
"In fact, the key to this play is in those little actors.
Actors for adults......
It shouldn't be a big problem.
William Wang brought the conversation back to business.
"Hmm."
The writer nodded approvingly, "By the way, when I came to your company to talk about things a few days ago, I saw a little girl with a round face on the first floor, which was almost exactly the same as the little girl in my concept......" “…… A little girl with a round face?
Who is it?
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and thought about it seriously, "Concubine Ding?
Kim Se-jeong?
” "I don't know the name, but if I see it again, I'll recognize it......"
"Oh, let's arrange for all the kids in the company to participate in the interview."
William Wang interjected next to him, "Today is October 30th......
Well, I want to come back around November 20th, 20 days, prepare the crew, select actors, and officially start filming at the end of November!
” "There's no need to be in such a hurry, right?"
Li Zhina shook his head beside him, "You can wait a little, Sunshine Sister Tao is estimated to complete the filming by the end of November, and when the time comes, just let the crew come over, and save us from going to find the staff." ” "Oh......
Okay, you look at the arrangement.
William Wang nodded and said no more.
When he said this, he reminded Li Zhina that he was going to Switzerland soon......
"By the way, when did you go to Switzerland?"
Li Zhina naturally understands this.
"Four."
William Wang explained: "After the first record of Runngan, I will take two weeks off from the PD. ” "Then I'll see you when you get back!"
Li Zhina nodded, "It just so happens that if this movie starts filming in December, I will be able to pay more attention to that TV series in November." ” "By the way, Park Jin-young called me that day......"
"Well, he called me too."
Li Zhina nodded, "We mainly co-produce this drama with JYP, we have female idols, and JYP has male idols." ” "Hmmm......"
"Actually, seriously, I still want you to play the leading role in this play!"
Li Zhina said with a smile, "If this movie is not in a hurry......"
"The male lead?

What kind of actor am I going to play in idol dramas......"
"Then you let JYP's people arrange the male lead?"
Li Zhina smiled, "We invested money and gave people out, but the male protagonist's head was given to them......
No matter how you think about it, you lose panic. ” "Then you can't let me act......
By the way, who is the heroine?
” "From the moment it was decided that the children of Dreacatcher would play it, it was decided that the heroine of this drama would be Suzy."
Li Zhina said with a smile: "Irene always feels that something is wrong when she goes to play the heroine in this kind of play......
So we arranged a big star supporting role for her, who was already famous and popular with half the sky. ” "Then you still let me play the leading role!
Let me play an emotional scene with Xiuzhi......"
William Wang trembled with disgust.
"There's also a kiss scene!"
Li Zhina said with a smile: "Xiuzhi said, this is her first kiss scene on the screen, rather than giving it to others, it is better to cheapen the boss you." ” The writer, who had finished talking about himself next to him, was pretending that the things he was talking about had nothing to do with him, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. “…… This little broken girl has a lot to say.
William Wang smiled a little speechlessly, "It's really not appropriate for me to play the leading role."
If you give me a role as a teacher or something, I might be able to go there......"
"Is there a teacher-student relationship?
It's not impossible, I can ask the screenwriter to change the script!
” “…… It's better to be the kind of character who appears in two episodes and then gets a bento at the speed of light.
So I just went to make a movie. ” "Have you read the script of 'drea_high'?"
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and said with a strange face.
"That's the name of this play?"
William Wang shook his head, "Where do I go to read the script, why, is there really such a role?"
” "The principal of the acting student training school called drea_high where the story takes place......
In order to take the blame for the students and teachers, he resigned after an accident.
Li Zhina nodded, "I was going to invite an old actor to make a cameo......"
"Don't be an old actor, just me!"
William Wang nodded, "It's good for me to play the principal......
By the way, when Jio was filming Runngan recently, he always told me that they were very unhappy with calling me seniors, and they always felt that they were special students, otherwise they would have called me principal in the future. ” “…… It's good if you're happy.
Li Zhi's head was black, "Okay, I'll arrange the casting of this movie to be responsible for others and writers, and I'll be busy with TV series first." ” "Good.
Tell me if there's anything you need me to help with......"
"To play the leading role."
"Except."
"That's nothing."
Li Zhi was a little helpless, "I really don't want JYP's male idol to be the leading actor......"
"Then let's see if there are any reliable young actors or idols in other performing arts economic companies!
We work with JYP, and we can bring in other people's as well!
” "But it's all agreed with Park Jin-young......"
"Actress, you also brought in two other companies!
It doesn't matter.
Anyway, idol dramas......
When the time comes, we will say that there is a cake for everyone to share, and it seems that we are selfless in our hearts. ” “…… Well, I see.
Li Zhina sighed, "There is a feeling that things have been made bigger." ” "It's going to be big!
No matter how big it is, how big can it be that we make movies in Hollywood?
William Wang picked up the coffee and took a sip, "Besides, we have to tell the gang of people in Zhongwu Road that we are not something they can knead casually, if you don't make the battle bigger, he still thinks you have no influence!"
” "Hmm......
I understand.

Li Zhina nodded.
With the writer who was already a little embarrassed listening to the content of the conversation between the two on the side, he left. …… Afterwards, William Wang learned that the girl with a round face that the writer said in the hall of illia entertainment was not a trainee newly recruited into the company, but Kei, a "big girl" who has debuted for two years and is already sixteen years old this year.
It's just that compared to the girls who just joined the company this year one or two years younger than her, some people do believe that she is younger, only twelve or thirteen years old......
Although neither William Wang nor Li Zhi were in favor of letting a girl like Kei who was born in an idol play a poor little girl who couldn't stand being violated and committed suicide, the writer insisted that Kei was almost exactly the same as the little girl he wanted to write, and Kei himself wanted to challenge his acting skills......
So, this dreacatcher's busyness has become the first supporting actress in a drama.
And Han Hyo-joo also passed the review of the screenwriter and the director hired by Lee Zhina at the same time.
She is indeed as William Wang guessed, and she is very interested in being able to star in a movie with William Wang as the hero and heroine without any personal emotional drama.
After finalizing such three basic actors, the crew composed of a director designated by a producer, a screenwriter who is not a script written by himself, and a producer who is not the producer himself at first glance is a completely grass stage team, is officially established, and the selection of actors is also launched at the same time.
William Wang was actually invited by the screenwriters to participate in the actor audition, but he really didn't have the time.
After finalizing the adaptation of "The Crucible" here on Saturday, two days later, on Monday, after recording Runngan, William Wang asked for leave from the crew, and went to Switzerland with the succubus cat who didn't really want to come back, but was forcibly summoned back by him to his side.
The annual meeting is definitely the most important thing for William Wang.
In the past two years, William Wang has become more connected and communicated with his followers, especially in Europe, the United States and Asia.
This is not necessarily a good thing for William Wang, who has always been somewhat mysterious.
Gods know that mystery is the most important thing.
It's just that the current William Wang is not just a complete magic stick, relying on words and pretending to be a ghost to fool people.
So, he's not afraid.
What's more, he also has a sharp weapon to pretend to be a ghost.
The one that allowed him to maintain his mystery, and at the same time made his followers aware of the awe, was the succubus cat that forcibly recalled him when William Wang left the peninsula.
Oh, in the eyes of followers, this is a cat prophet.
Although they met as a cat creeping in the arms of His Excellency the Prophet, they were always beautiful cats, but ......
It can become a human.
He can also speak human words.
Even proficient in multiple languages......
That's pretty impressive.
Although the succubus cat that turned into a human form, no one seemed to be a person.
But this is what makes followers feel more awe!
Originally, there was no way for the cat prophet to become a human, but now he can do it......
Well.
So, it was a united, successful, and victorious annual meeting.
All the participants understood that even if His Excellency was squatting with him in a food stall and eating noodles, he would still be His Excellency the Prophet.
Even if he talks to an inexplicable little girl about falling in love or something......
That is also the private matter of His Excellency the Prophet, and it is not the turn of his followers to take care of it.
Duan Zhixian's feelings about this matter are the most profound.
He was also the most frightened when he saw the succubus cat that had turned into a human form.
You know, he's the one who can see the succubus cat from time to time!
This was the first time he knew that a succubus cat could actually poop as an adult.
Back then, when this kitten was in the box, he still held the box!
That's right!
Where's that box?
When you eat yourself, why don't you think about picking it up and giving it back to be an heirloom at home!
"When the cat prophet was young, I hugged his ......"
He feels like he can blow this cow for a lifetime!
…… After a ten-day annual meeting, all the followers left the castle in the Swiss mountains.
William Wang didn't, he stayed one more day.
Because someone asked him to meet here.

And there is only one place for those who can make an appointment with him like this.
Holy City.
