The next day.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Chenyang got up early to wash.

As soon as I came out of the shower, I heard the doorbell ring.

Opening the door, Guo Xiaoxing stood outside the door, holding two plastic bags in his hands, and the food inside was vaguely visible.

"Good morning, boss. ”

Without Chenyang's invitation, Guo Xiaoxing walked in with her things, put the things on the dining table, and she began to look around the house, asking as she looked, "Boss, what do you think of this house?

Chenyang said, "No, it's okay." ”

Guo Xiaoxing sat on the dining chair with a sigh, untied the bag and took out the soy milk and buns inside, and said, "That's good, I'll rest assured if it's not stuffy." ”

Chenyang also sat down, "Wasn't it the house you were looking for in the first place?"

Guo Xiaoxing shook his hand and grinned, "To be honest, this house is actually not what I was looking for, I asked a friend to see it, at that time, our company was choosing an office building, and I was too busy to get away, so I ......"

"That's right. ”

Chenyang nodded lightly and accepted Guo Xiaoxing's explanation.

He is not the kind of person who has to fight, if it is a business matter, he may find fault and do it perfectly, but if it is a private matter, as long as it can be done well, it doesn't really matter what means.

Guo Xiaoxing took out the buns and asked, "Boss, do you like to eat buns?"

Chenyang nodded, "It's okay." ”

Guo Xiaoxing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good." ”

After eating breakfast, Chenyang and Guo Xiaoxing went out.

Although Guo Xiaoxing proposed to take a car, but looking at the situation on the road, Chenyang directly gave up this idea, the traffic jam in the morning rush hour in the imperial capital is really not covered, or it is not in the morning rush hour, and the traffic jam is also very serious.

What's more, Xue Dong's company is near the Fifth Ring Road, and he doesn't dare to bet on the road conditions.

rejected Guo Xiaoxing's proposal, Chenyang chose to take the subway, even so, when he arrived at Xue Dong's company, it was already 9:40.

Different from the small workshop-like studio in Chenyang, Xue Dong's company is a company in the real sense, with the front desk, the front door, everything, and in the rest area, a familiar figure is reading a book there.

"Yoko. ”

Nie Shaoyuan stood up.

Chenyang walked over, "How long have you been here?"

"Not long, half an hour. Nie Shaoyuan pointed at Guo Xiaoxing, "This is ......"

"My assistant. ”

"Your daughter-in-law fired you?"

Nie Shaoyuan joked with a hippie smile.

", what fired me. ”

Chenyang didn't give Nie Shaoyuan a good face.

Guo Xiaoxing didn't speak on the side, just pursed his lips and smiled.

Stopping Nie Shaoyuan's impropriety, Chenyang said, "Let's go, let's go find Xue Dong." ”

The two of them came to the front desk and said simply, the other party called the above, and soon, a very professionally dressed woman came down from the upper floor and went to the area where Chenyang and Nie Shaoyuan were resting.

"Are you Mr. Chenyang?"

"It's me. ”

Chenyang stood up.

"Hello, I'm Dong Xue's secretary, please come with me. ”

"Good. ”

Following the secretary, Chenyang and Nie Shao went to a conference room on the nineteenth floor.

The layout of the meeting room doesn't look so old-fashioned, it's a bit of a resort feel.

"Xue Dong is having a meeting with someone, and the meeting will end in five minutes, please wait. The female secretary said a word and motioned for Chenyang and Nie Shaoyuan to sit down.

"Okay, you're busy. ”

Chenyang nodded in acknowledgement.

Nie Shaoyuan and Guo Xiaoxing sat down with Chenyang.

The female secretary did not leave, but continued to ask, "What would you like to drink?" coffee or tea?"

Chenyang said, "Just whatever." ”

"Okay, then I'll help you prepare. ”

After saying that, the female secretary left.

Nie Shaoyuan opened his mouth and said, "Yangzi, what about your script, bring it to me and take a look." ”

Chenyang didn't answer, and asked himself, "What about the contract?"

"Look at your stinginess. ”

Nie Shaoyuan rolled his eyes, took out a document from his schoolbag and threw it on the table.

It was the contract that Chenyang took yesterday.

By inertia, the contract slipped in front of Chenyang.

Chenyang didn't look at it, and put one hand on it to remind, "Did you see clearly yesterday?"

This contract is not a short-term signing for a temporary project, but a long-term employment agreement with a term of twenty years, as for why it is so long, it is also because Chenyang is too lazy.

Although there are many good directors in this Huaxia, they are born with an otaku attribute, and a director doesn't want to change it if he is called well, unless it is really unsuitable, or because of other irreversible reasons.

Nie Shaoyuan said impatiently, "Hurry up and show me the script." ”

Chenyang stopped talking, and Guo Xiaoxing immediately took out a thick stack of A4 paper from the folder and handed it to Nie Shaoyuan.

"A Chinese Ghost Story?"

Seeing the first four words on the cover, Nie Shaoyuan sighed, "You want to adapt this? Hey, which chapter is your story in?"

He has read the book "Liao Zhai" several times, but he just can't remember what chapter "A Chinese Ghost Story" is.

The coffee came up.

Chenyang picked up the cup and took a sip and said, "It's Xiaoqian's chapter." ”

"Ning Caichen?"

"Hmm. ”

Nie Shaoyuan nodded, "Noncommittal."

Chenyang didn't take the initiative to stir up the conversation, the atmosphere was quiet for two or three seconds, and Nie Shaoyuan spoke again, "There are so many classic stories in Chatzhai, why are you adapting Xiaoqian." ”

Chenyang smiled dumbly, "Why can't I adapt Xiaoqian?"

"It's not that it can't, it's that this story is too perfect," Nie Shaoyuan opened the script, and said while browsing the character relationship diagram, "It's not interesting to adapt it, I think there are so many stories, how good it is to change a little imperfect, and there is beauty in the incomplete." ”

"How do you know I'm the perfect ending?"

Chenyang was defeated by Nie Shaoyuan's logic.

Nie Shaoyuan pouted, "You wrote the book yourself and changed it yourself, can you still write it according to the original book?"

Chenyang said, "Yes, what I adapted has never been written according to the original book. ”

"You just talk about you," Nie Shaoyuan snorted, and said with a look of not wanting to fool me, "Then your previous passion burning was not written according to the original book? Not according to the original book, but I think what you write is guaranteed in the first place." ”

Chenyang smiled and said slyly, "Then if I say that passion burning is actually only available on existing TVs, do you believe it or not?"

Guo Xiaoxing didn't speak, she listened quietly beside her, until Chenyang said this, she looked at Chenyang with inquiring eyes, and said curiously, "Boss, how is this possible?

Nie Shaoyuan said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, what kind of existing TV series, could he have watched it before this?"

Chenyang smiled and didn't say anything more.

This actually sounds weird.

It's obviously a book based on it, but there was a TV series before the book, and the logic obviously doesn't make sense.

But that's the truth, what doesn't make sense is the truth, he first watched the TV series "The Years of Burning Passion", and then he learned about the book "My Father and Mother", just like "Liao Zhai".

He knew the book "Liao Zhai" because of "A Chinese Ghost Story" played by Leslie Cheung and Wang Zuxian, and then he read the book through no less than ten times.

However, I can't say this to outsiders, and I don't believe anyone who says it.

Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye, but Xue Dong did not come, until half past ten, Xue Dong walked in.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, everyone, there are too many things in the company, so you have to wait for a long time. ”

As soon as he entered the door, Xue Dong was polite.

Chenyang naturally won't be more true than that, it's only just fifteen minutes after half past ten, there's no need.

Standing up, he said, "Where, where, Xue Dong is too polite." ”

"You've been here for a long time. ”

Xue Dong stretched out his hand and shook hands with everyone one by one.

Nie Shao said from afar, "We just came. ”

Xue Dong said, "Then don't let people add some coffee to you?"

Chenyang said, "No need, let's start." ”

"Good, good. ”

Xue Dong sat down and said yes, but he didn't officially start, but looked at Guo Xiaoxing on the side, his brows furrowed, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but soon, he suppressed this doubt in his heart, and then turned his head to look at Chenyang.

"Director Chen, I've already seen the plan you gave me. ”

He spoke.

Chenyang nodded, but did not speak.

"I like it. After a pause of two seconds, Xue Dong spoke, "It's just that Xiaoqian is ...... Isn't that a little too risky?"

Because he watched Chenyang's planning, he specially went to watch "Liao Zhai".

turned out to be a big disappointment, although the chapter of "Nie Xiaoqian" was put on a lot of ink by Chenyang, in terms of story, it is indeed very good, but because it is so good, everything is so complete.

Ning Caichen went to Lanruo Temple and met Nie Xiaoqian, and then the two of them made a private agreement for life.

The most important thing is that the most twists and turns in the digging of corpses were also brushed aside, and in the end, Nie Xiaoqian became a person and married Ning Caichen.

It's okay for people and ghosts to fall in love, but you can't be so bland, make a movie without any waves like this, let alone make money, even if you hit the street, you can't knock down the top three, it's a tragedy!

"Old Nie. ”

Chenyang didn't answer Xue Dong's doubts, but waved his hand at Nie Shaoyuan, meaning to ask him to bring the script over.

Nie Shaoyuan closed the script with some reluctance and handed it to Chenyang.

"You look at the script first. ”

Chenyang handed the script to Xue Dong.

Xue Dong was still a little unhappy, at this time, Nie Shaoyuan spoke, "Xue Dong, I think you must read this script, to be honest, just now, I also felt inappropriate about Yangzi's proposal, but after I read the script just now, I think it's not bad." ”

"Actually, I understand. ”

Xue Dong couldn't shirk it, so he had to take the script, but it could be seen that there was a little bit of a sense on his face that he didn't want to waste time on it, but he also didn't refuse, and with the script, he began to flip it.

One page.

Two.

Three pages.

Chenyang's script was boiled out in the big year and belongs to the overall outline of a story.

The specific script is more than this, and it is more complicated, he wrote a long time in the company yesterday, and only wrote a play of ten minutes, and the whole play of "A Chinese Ghost Story" has more than an hour.

And those ten-minute scenes are already tens of thousands of words, and there are more than a dozen pages when they are printed.

If they are all written and printed, then they will have to carry a big schoolbag today, and it will not be so lightweight.

But even so, the outline has more than 20 pages, the context, the process, the highlights of it, and the twists and turns in the encounter between Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen, all of which were written out in detail by Chenyang.

Time seems to have frozen.

Xue Dong was reading the documents, and Chenyang was drinking coffee.

Guo Xiaoxing looked a little idle, so she took out the contract and flipped it over, but soon, she also entered the sage mode, drinking coffee and waiting for Xue Dong to finish reading.

Five minutes passed.

Ten minutes passed.

Twenty minutes passed.

The movements of Xue Dong's hands are getting slower and slower, and on each page, it is clear that he has seen the last line in the eyes of everyone, but he is not too reluctant to turn it, so a picture is formed to freeze at the end.

Guo Xiaoxing's face was full of doubts.

Chenyang is more calm, but it is Nie Shaoyuan, he understands this feeling better.

Because, just now when Chenyang asked him for the script, he felt like this, he didn't want to give it, but he had to give it.

What happened to Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen in the end?

When Xue Dong read the script, this question has always been in his mind.

Now, he really understands what Chenyang said just now, this guy is not adapted from the original book at all, at least, not in some details, in the original book, Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian finally became partners.

But this is not the case in the script, Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian are separated by the old demon of Montenegro, and separated by a stubborn Yan Chixia, even if they both run away, but in the end, Yan Chixia still comes out to make trouble.

It's anxious and hateful to watch.

I can't wait to read it all at once, but I can't bear the wonderful plot in it.

Tangled!

It's so tangled!

Nie Shaoyuan whispered to Chenyang, "I said, Yangzi, you really didn't think about this after you had a TV first, right?"

Just now he didn't believe that how an original author could put aside the text to dream about the wonderful plot of a TV series, but now the more he recalls the script of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the more he feels that Chenyang's words are a bit weird.

If there is no reference, if there is not really such a movie or TV series, how can Chenyang be so powerful?

A big and bold change.

Meticulously crafted grinding.

Each stroke seems to fit the original work naturally, but on the basis of the original work, a more amazing plot blooms.

It's unbelievable!

Guo Xiaoxing's interest was also mobilized, and he blinked and looked at Chenyang with big eyes.

"Do you really believe it?"

Chenyang looked at the two people in front of him and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Nie Shaoyuan snorted and said in disappointment, "I'll just ask." ”

Time continues to pass, and Xue Dong is still addicted to the outline of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Finally, after more than forty minutes, he raised his head and let out a long breath, like a person who has not breathed for a long time after exercising, he looked at Chenyang and said without hesitation, "I voted for this script!"
