Two hours later.

Tao Xiaozhen came to Director Cheng's studio.

The space is still cramped, and the books are stacked high against the wall, and you can't reach them on tiptoe.

Compared to the last time I visited, there are a lot more books here.

This time, in addition to Tao Xiaozhen, a couple of men and women came over.

Director Cheng was very polite to the two.

After introducing each other, I learned that both of them were screenwriters.

This time, Director Cheng invited two screenwriters to create this script.

He took the script very seriously this time.

Even......

This level of attention goes far beyond the original angels.

Tao Xiaozhen came here as an investor.

came to Director Cheng's desk and looked at the two books on human nature placed on it.

Tao Xiaozhen praised it.

"Director Cheng, why do you like this script so much?"

Hearing this, Director Cheng's busy looking for books paused slightly.

He turned his head to look at Tao Xiaozhen, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile.

"That's because the story of one of the main characters in it is almost similar to mine. ”

"I used to do a lot of stupid things, and even let my wife have a miscarriage, just to cater to my parents. ”

And ...... After that, I became independent because of the books I read. ”

"The more you know, the more mature your mind becomes, and this self-awareness with divergent thinking is the main reason why I am who I am now. ”

Unexpectedly, Director Cheng still has such an unbearable past.

Seeing Tao Xiaozhen's shocked eyes, Director Cheng smiled slightly.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of, I almost divorced my wife in the first place. ”

"I have always been a thoughtless puppet in the hands of my parents, but after reading these books, I realized that it was time for me to be independent. ”

"It's not economic independence, it's spiritual independence. ”

"So, I decided to move out of that small place with my wife and came to the capital to work hard. ”

"I was thirty-one years old. ”

And this year, fifty-six years old.

Twenty-five years of hard work.

finally got rid of poverty, and even became a super first-line director.

Who would have thought that this super-first-line director who knows astronomy and geography and has extremely rich knowledge reserves.

It's just a person who graduated from high school and didn't even go to college.

Director Cheng put a newly improved script in her hands.

Looking around, I saw that this cramped small room was only a few dozen square meters.

"Surrounded by books...... Very secure. ”

He patted the two books on the table and moved a place for Tao Xiaozhen.

"Here's my latest improved playbook, you can sit here and watch it, it's absolutely safe here, give you two hours, and I won't come in and bother. ”

"Two hours later, I'll call you to dinner. ”

Tao Xiaozhen nodded, his eyes shining.

"It's really safe here. ”

Director Cheng laughed, "Probably this is the difference between us, you want to forget, but I always think about it again and again, and warn myself that I must be a learned person." ”

"But I respect your ideas, there are no contradictions between us. ”

When the door closed, there was silence in the room.

Tao Xiaozhen sat on the soft sofa and reached for a book on the small coffee table.

Here, you can get a lot of books at your fingertips.

She took out her phone and looked at it, but there was no internet.

It seems that this place can make people get lost in the ocean of knowledge.

A basket was placed at the doorway for storing mobile phones.

At this time, there is also a laptop here, which is directed by Cheng.

After unloading his guard, Tao Xiaozhen poured a cup of hot coffee and concentrated on reading the book.

It seems that in this atmosphere, it is easy to concentrate.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed.

Director Cheng knocked on the door outside.

Tao Xiaozhen rubbed his eyebrows, feeling excited.

went to open the door and shared his feelings with Director Cheng.

"It's a great place to work!"

Director Cheng smiled and nodded, "Of course, when I first came here, my son was very noisy, and I always like to lock me up here." ”

Here he read thousands of books.

Since I changed careers to become a director, I have spent a long time researching books related to directing.

Speaking of this, Director Cheng's smile was a little bitter.

"But it's also the perfect barrier to escapism. ”

I couldn't figure this out at the beginning, which put a lot of pressure on my wife.

Fortunately, his wife understands him very well, so he has persisted until now.

The four of them had lunch together.

At the dinner table, Director Cheng discussed the situation of the script with the two.

Tao Xiaozhen listened from beginning to end.

Give your opinion from time to time.

The average age of several was over forty.

And Tao Xiaozhen's words are up to the standard young people and give them a lot of ideas.

After some discussion, the atmosphere was not bad.

However, after this meal, the two screenwriters offered to leave.

After the two left the table, Director Cheng asked the waiter to remove the food on the table and replace it with the most expensive dessert in front of Tao Xiaozhen.

"You didn't eat much just now, I made this dessert for you. ”

"How about tasting it, you should like it, the celebrity chef of the five-star hotel. ”

Nothing to do......

Tao Xiaozhen held the knife and fork in his hand, and he really didn't know whether to start.

"Director Cheng, you called me over today just so I could see your newly revised script?"

"Or is it to convince me to face my past?"

Director Cheng shook his head again and again, and smiled, "This time, there are two purposes. ”

"Let me show you my new script, and ......"

Speaking of the back, he was a little embarrassed to cover his lips with his hand and coughed dryly.

"Aren't you an investor in this film, show them my financial strength. ”

Other words......

He pulled the gold master out to slip around, just to attract these two screenwriters?

Hear the reason.

Tao Xiaozhen felt that she should be angry.

can see that Director Cheng in front of him is a little weak-hearted, and he can't get angry.

After being stunned for a while, he actually laughed out loud.

Director Cheng patted his chest and smiled flatteringly, "You try this dessert, it must be in line with your taste." ”

Tao Xiaozhen reluctantly restrained his smile, "Are these two screenwriters very powerful?"

It can be known from the conversation just now that the two are definitely not vain people.

Director Cheng sighed, "It's a bit embarrassing to say." ”

"I started the industry very late, and these two men had already begun to make a name for themselves in the first 10 years of coming to the capital. ”

"I was only forty years old at the time, and these two were twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and they were already making a name for themselves in the industry. ”

Especially the male screenwriter just now.

At the age of thirty, one of his films as a screenwriter was nominated for an Oscar.

It was in that year that he won the title of Best Screenplay at the Cannes Festival.

These two people, who want to cooperate with Daoxiang in SSGKC, finally have a chance now.
