At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the café downstairs of Shumi's studio.

Through the window with the café's logo on it, it was overcast outside, and the thin rain sprinkled on the ground, making the road outside wet.

Although it was drizzling on the streets, people kept coming and going, and many people hurried through with umbrellas.

It's already mid-October, and any rain can make the weather much colder.

In the corner of the café by the window, Shu Hongming, Rice, and Qiao Xiaojun, the head of the film and television department of Shumi Studio, sat together, and everyone had a coffee and cake in front of them.

Wearing a gray cotton T-shirt, jeans, and a pair of light-colored sunglasses on his face, Rice looked down at the script in front of him, and from time to time he raised his head to look out the window.

"Is this script really that good? I don't think so......."

Rice spread the script in front of Shu Hongming, looking bored.

Today is the time for her and Shu Hongming to "take a holiday", but Shu Hongming has been busy in the studio all morning. After noon, the bored rice came to the studio to wander around, and heard that Shu Hongming planned to shoot a micro-film, so he came over to take a look.

Shu Hongming looked at the script in front of him and said with a smile: "If you can make that feeling of mourning youth, and add a good enough theme song, this micro-movie will definitely cause a sensation." ”

Shu Hongming said, and couldn't help but think of the theme song with the same name as the micro-movie.

In the previous life, the reason why the micro-movie "Old Boy" was so hot and tear-jerking countless people was that song definitely occupied an extremely important weight. The phrase "Did you get your original wish?" Do you have to pay tribute now?", I don't know how many people's hearts have been said.

Anyone who has watched this micro-movie has said that if there is no song at the end, "Old Boy" is just a bad movie that cuts a bunch of nostalgic elements and forcibly pieces them together. However, after adding that song, it strung those fragmented memories into stories that belonged to everyone's heart, and became a classic micro-film that evokes people's memories and dreams.

"Huh? Singing? Are you going to write a song for this micro-film? Rice's eyes lit up with anticipation.

Shu Hongming smiled and said, "I'm going to write a song." However, that song is sung by men, and it is not appropriate for you to sing it. ”

After a pause, Shu Hongming asked again: "By the way, the heroine in this book, if you are interested, you might as well give it a try?" ”

What Shu Hongming is doing now, in the final analysis, is still to fulfill his dream of stardom for his big Lori.

Rice had chattered with Shu Hongming before that he would definitely make TV series and movies in the future.

Since I will definitely get involved in TV dramas and film industries in the future, I will take a micro-movie to practice my hands now, even if I pounce in the end, it will be nothing.

"Oh." Rice took the script over again and flipped through it, "Then I'll play the heroine!" Just have fun! ”

Shu Hongming and Rice have now survived three rounds as the best partners and entered the quarterfinals.

Nowadays, in terms of popularity, both of them can be regarded as second-tier Of course, most of the two people's current fame is also in the fan circle.

"Well, let's have fun." Shu Hongming smiled, "Anyway, in this play, there are not many scenes for the heroine." You should familiarize yourself with the camera first......"

"Have I acted in TV dramas before?" Rice grumbled.

Shu Hongming smiled slightly and did not speak.

Rice previously played the role of a concubine in the TV series "Yizong Hallyu Yun", which premiered on a local satellite TV station half a month ago, but a week after the broadcast, the ratings were too dismal and was cut in half. Rice, the concubine character who has lived for three episodes, has not really shown his face on TV......

Next to him, Qiao Jun listened to the conversation between the boss and the boss's wife, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Well, in the eyes of the two of them, this micro-movie is just for fun......

Shu Hongming and Da Mi were talking, and suddenly, in the drizzle, a man in a shirt ran into the café, looked up and looked twice, Qiao Jun quickly stood up and waved his hand to the man: "Hao Xiaoshuai!" Here's it! ”

When Hao Xiaoshuai heard the voice, he straightened his clothes first, and then walked over quickly, and greeted him eagerly: "Hello Teacher Dashu, hello rice, hello Brother Jun...... I'm really sorry, but I was stuck in traffic just now, and I came all the way ......"

Shu Hongming and Rice greeted each other with a smile, and after a few polite words, Shu Hongming stretched out his hand and pointed to the opposite position: "Please sit down first, if you like to drink, just order it yourself." ”

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Dashu." Hao Xiaoshuai thanked him, with a sleek smile on his face, and complimented Shu Hongming and Rice a few words, and also talked about the campus of Jingyin College, and mentioned a few familiar teachers to get closer.

After talking for a while, Shu Hongming raised his hand and looked at his watch, then said with a smile: "Screenwriter Hao, I invite you to come over today, mainly because of the script of "The Adult Who Chased Dreams". Shu Hongming took the complete script: "After carefully reading your script, I feel that it is still very marketable, so our studio has plans to shoot it." Excuse me, this script of yours should not have been seen by other investors, right? ”

"No, no." Hao Xiaoshuai rubbed his hands and shook his head, his face could not hide his joy.

"That'...... Can you please tell you why you wrote such a script in the first place? Shu Hongming asked.

Hao Xiaoshuai was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied: "That's right, downstairs in my current company, there is a barber shop, the owner is an old man in his early sixties, he likes to sing, and he howls twice in his shop when he has nothing to do." One day I was woken up by him when I was taking a nap at noon, so I went downstairs to reason with him, but the boss said that he wanted to participate in the community's theatrical evening and wanted to go on the stage......"

“…… When I returned to the company, I thought about it, and I was inspired, and I imagined it a little bit and wrote this script. ”

When he spoke, Hao Xiaoshuai looked a little lonely and sighed

If you really talk about it, what is the difference between him, a student who graduated from the drama, film and television major of Jingyin Academy, and the owner of the barbershop?

He now works in a small company, but what he really wants to do is write scripts, write stories, and watch his scripts be made into movies, and then be seen, applauded, and applauded by countless people!

Shu Hongming nodded, asked a few more questions, and then said, "Screenwriter Hao, your script is indeed very good. However, there are still some things that I am not quite satisfied with, and I hope that it can be modified a little, you can accept it, right? Of course, the main line and theme of the story will not change much, only in the details. ”

"That's fine." Hao Xiaoshuai nodded, "Then tell me, what needs to be modified?" ”

Changing the script is quite common, and of course he has no opinion. Which of the scripts he has successfully submitted before has not been revised?

In the screenwriting industry, if you really insist on not changing the script, you will really starve to death!

Shu Hongming smiled and said: "My opinion, first of all, there should be a certain amount of conflict between the two protagonists in your story, if the two people come together at the beginning, there will be a lot less to see." Here they can be set up as some kind of hostile relationship, and finally become friends because of their musical dreams, and come together......"

"Does it add to the conflict between the two of them?" Hao Xiaoshuai looked at the plot synopsis in front of him, "But in this case, the plot of the micro-film will be lengthened, if you want to make the plot full, the finished film will be stretched by at least four to five minutes, and in terms of materials, according to the five-to-ten-fold increase of the micro-film, it will increase by twenty to fifty minutes, and the shooting cost will increase a lot......"

Hao Xiaoshuai is only about 25 minutes long for the expected main film of "The Adult Who Chased Dreams". Now Shu Hongming's first opinion added five minutes to the film.

"In terms of shooting costs, you don't have to worry." Shu Hongming has a wealthy posture, "The specific shooting budget, after the script is revised, our film and television department will come out." This micro-film, my plan, is to go to the excellent level, and the investment is indispensable. ”

Next to him, the corners of Qiao Jun's mouth twitched twice more Okay, Shu Hongming is the boss, he has the final say!

"Well, that's good." Hao Xiaoshuai responded and wrote a line on the script.

Next, Shu Hongming put forward a few more opinions one after another, Hao Xiaoshuai wrote them down one by one, and finally said: "Teacher Da Shu, let me remind you." If the script is modified according to you, the length of the finished film may be about 38 minutes......"

"The length of time is not the key, the key is to shoot well." Shu Hongming smiled.

Hao Xiaoshuai nodded: "Okay, I understand." It takes about two days to revise the script. In two days, I'll hand you the new script. In addition, I have another request, after the crew of "Adults Chasing Dreams" is formed, I will participate in the whole filming ......"

"Huh?" Shu Hongming was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "No problem." However, after the crew officially started filming, it was the director who had the final say. ”

Shu Hongming had to give Hao Xiaoshuai a preventive shot first, and before the script was finalized, it was discussed collectively by the director, screenwriter, and staff.

However, once the draft is finalized, especially if filming officially begins, it is another matter.

"Of course." Hao Xiaoshuai's face was happy.

"Then let's go to the studio first and sign the contract." Shu Hongming got up with a smile.

After negotiating the script, the next step is to sign a contract between Shumi Studio and Hao Xiaoshuai.

This matter is naturally responsible for the film and television department and the legal department, and Shu Hongming only needs to see the results, and does not need to ask specifically.

Shu Hongming looked at it a little, and when he saw the name of the script on the contract, he was slightly stunned: "Screenwriter Hao, I think this script is a bit too awkward to call "The Adult Who Chased Dreams". Why don't we change the name? ”

"Change your name?"

"Yes, change the name!" Shu Hongming nodded, "I think this micro-film is more appropriate to call "Old Boy". ”

"Oldboy?" Hao Xiaoshuai was stunned for a moment, and a lot of the past seemed to flash in front of him.

"Teacher Da Shu, you are right, "Old Boy", it is indeed more suitable." (To be continued.) )
