PS: Continue to ask for subscriptions and monthly passes ^-^

Cao Baochuan, a native of Bac Ha Province, a writer, a member of the Bac Ha Provincial Writers Association, has written the famous vernacular novels "Alive" and "Dead" that reflect the rural reality, and has won various domestic literary awards for many times, and is the screenwriter of the blockbuster films "Not Finished", "Contractual Relationship" and "Green Tea Tree" by the Rey Brothers.

In the 90s of the last century, the Rey Brothers were just an advertising company, and the boss Rey was a returnee, and later under the matchmaking of an employee who was familiar with the production of TV dramas, the Rey Brothers Company began to get involved in the production of TV dramas. In 1998, by chance, Lei Tianzhi said that the movie "Not Finished" co-produced by Cao Baochuan and Wang Baogang encountered the embarrassing situation of investors withdrawing capital, so his heart moved and extended a helping hand.

In this way, the Rey brothers got the "golden partners" Wang Baogang and Cao Baochuan, who relied on to compete in the film market, and the two are known as "film double treasures" in the film industry.

The movie "Not Finished" was released in 1999, and the box office reached 60 million at that time, breaking the box office record of Chinese films over the years, and it became the first Chinese New Year film in the Chinese film market. Since then, the Huaxia Film Market has had the concept of "Chinese New Year files".

It was also in 1999 that the Huaxia film market kicked off the prelude to reform, and the box office of movies increased rapidly year after year, from a mere 1 billion to 25 billion in 2014, a full 25 times in 15 years.

The Rey brothers can get to where they are today, the vision of the boss Lei Yitian is very important, and the golden pair of Wang Baogang and Cao Baochuan is also very important.

Within Rey Brothers, Cao Baochuan led the screenwriting studio and was also involved in film planning.

The Rey Brothers company plans to start filming a special effects blockbuster, and the first movie theme that Cao Baochuan thought of was the theme of ancient costume magic, which was extracted and adapted based on traditional Chinese myths and legends with a wide audience. It tells the story between humans and demons, humans and gods, and humans and ghosts, and at the same time shows the fantasy of demons, gods, and ghosts with high-tech special effects.

It can be said that Cao Baochuan's idea is relatively reasonable, and the feasibility is also very high.

After the script was written, Cao Baochuan himself was very satisfied, and the Rey brothers went up and down, inside and out. Basically everyone agrees with the script.

Who the Rey brothers cooperated with to jointly shoot "White Fox" into a special effects blockbuster, Cao Baochuan has no opinion; Cao Baochuan doesn't have much opinion on who will star in this movie, as long as he has acting skills and an image that matches.

But what Cao Baochuan didn't expect was that after the company abandoned Huayi Media and switched to Red Star Media, the people of Red Star Media actually said that they would revise the script.

Cao Baochuan was very angry at the time, and said bluntly in front of the two brothers, Lei Yitian and Lei Yijun: "If you want to change the script." Then I'll quit. ”

It was still Lei Yitian who said something badly, which persuaded Cao Baochuan.

According to Lei Yitian, Stephen Zhao is also a well-known writer, not only understands history, but also is proficient in ancient poetry and various penmanship, and the screenwriter's kung fu is not bad, and it is normal to have opinions on the script. Who can be a talented person without being a little arrogant? What's more, Stephen Zhao is also the boss of Red Star Media. He can't joke with the company's reputation, right?

After Cao Baochuan heard these words, he didn't say anything at that time. After the end, he reluctantly agreed to Stephen Zhao's revision of the script, but the unhappiness in his heart was still very powerful, and he also made a request that if the revised script could not satisfy him, then there would be no need to shoot this movie.

Lei Yitian readily agreed.

Compared with the cooperation with Red Star Media, Cao Baochuan is more important to the Rey brothers.

Right now. Seeing Stephen Zhao for the second time, Stephen Zhao also revised the script of "White Fox", Cao Baochuan always had a tense face, he wanted to see how many catties and taels this Stephen Zhao had.

Took the script from Rei-kun. Cao Baochuan looked at it carefully.

"Synopsis: During the Qin and Han dynasties, Duwei Wang Sheng led the Wang family army to rescue a character woman in the fierce battle with the sand bandits in the Western Regions and brought her back to the Jiangdu Palace. I don't want this woman to be a nine-tailed fox Xiao Wei who changes in human skin. Human skin must be maintained with people's hearts, so Xiao Wei's invisible assistant Xiao Yi, a demon cultivated by a desert lizard, kills people every few days to worship Xiao Wei, in order to express his love for Xiao Wei, and Jiangdu City fell into a terror. Xiao Wei fell in love with Wang Sheng because he was brave and handsome, and kept using witchcraft to charm Wang Sheng, wanting to replace Wang Sheng's wife Pei Rong.

Pang Yong, the former commander of the Wang family's army, was strong in martial arts, and had a brotherhood with Wang Sheng and Pei Rong, and had a crush on Pei Rong......

……”

This is "Painted Skin", when Stephen Zhao saw the script of "White Fox", the first thing that came to mind was the classic magic blockbuster he had seen in his previous life.

Although there are still many bugs in the whole movie when watching the movie, overall, the movie "Painted Skin" is still very good.

There is a storyline and special effects, so this movie has a high box office at the end, and soon the sequel will also receive a high box office, and the sesame seeds are blooming.

Cao Baochuan, who originally had a hint of contempt, was quickly shocked, his expression gradually became solemn, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became: "This ...... How is this possible? Is this just what he has changed in the past two or three months? ”

Man and demon, man and woman, brotherhood and love, struggle, love and hatred, life and death!

The revised script tells a moving story with an intricate plot, a righteous force led by "Pang Yong", and a tragic life and death price like a phoenix.

A magical picture slowly unfolded in Cao Baochuan's mind.

It's hard for Cao Baochuan to imagine that this is just Stephen Zhao's achievements in two or three months, because Stephen Zhao is busy with the writing of his new book "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and he is also busy with the songwriting and songwriting of his artist Lin Yuner's first album, does he have this time? Does he have the energy?

"What kind of person is he?" Cao Baochuan groaned secretly, and his impression of Zhao Xingchi immediately changed dramatically, this is a powerful character.

From Cao Baochuan's point of view, of course he knows the quality of these revised plots of Zhao Xingchi, and he evaluates it in four words: the best work.

In the original script of "White Fox", the love between the white fox and people is only limited to the simple fact that people and demons can't fall in love, and then sacrifice themselves for love.

In the plot modified by Stephen Zhao, Stephen Zhao put the background of the whole story in the government and the rivers and lakes. The entanglement of brotherly love was added, which made the whole story suddenly plump a lot, and the love between humans and demons became more mysterious and mysterious.

Half an hour later, Cao Baochuan put down the script in his hand and glanced at Zhao Xingchi with a complicated expression.

Lei Yijun immediately asked next to him, "How do you feel?" ”

Zhao Xingchi smiled: "Teacher Cao, what is unsatisfactory. Just mention it, after all, you are the original author of the script, I just added a little bit to the skeleton you built, and in the end, it is still subject to your opinion, Mr. Cao. ”

The sedan chair carries people, Cao Baochuan is a senior in the circle, and he is over fifty years old, and he has to look at his age if he doesn't look at his achievements, so Zhao Xingchi puts his posture very low.

"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and it's not okay to be unconvinced. Mr. Zhao. I'll admit that I was a little scornful of you before, but now I'm going to say that you're the one. Although Cao Baochuan knew that Zhao Xingchi was saying kind words, he still accepted his affection, and his tense face quickly eased, and then gave him a thumbs up.

"Teacher Cao, you are so complimentary, you are really high-spirited, this is it!" Stephen Zhao gave him a thumbs up. Heartfelt admiration.

He really admires Cao Baochuan and is broad-minded. If you can't compare with others, you can't compare with others, and you don't care about talking nonsense with a clear conscience. He asked himself if he couldn't do this, his life realm was a cut behind Cao Baochuan's boss.

Therefore, although the script of "White Fox" written by Cao Baochuan had to be revised by him before it could finally take shape, he did not feel a trace of joy.

Cao Baochuan is broad-minded and has real skills. He is just a copyist, what qualifications does he have to scream in front of Cao Baochuan?

For people who have real skills and are humble, Stephen Zhao has always admired him very much.

Lei Yijun took the script back in his hand, and said with a smile: "Since the two big screenwriters feel that the script is fine." Then I wish us all the best in this cooperation! ”

Stephen Zhao nodded with a smile: "The cooperation is smooth!" ”

……

In another reception room, Yu Decheng, the former president of Xijiang University of Finance and Economics Press, was accompanying Wang Wei, a middle-aged man, to talk to Qian Minli.

Wang Wei is a member of the Xijiang Provincial Writers' Association, and this time he came to meet with Zhao Xingchi, in fact, to invite Zhao Xingchi to join the Writers' Association. Wang Wei knew Zhao Xingchi, but Zhao Xingchi didn't know him, so Wang Wei quickly thought of letting Yu Decheng match, because he heard that Yu Decheng's former subordinate Qian Minli was now Zhao Xingcheng's personal assistant.

Yu Decheng actually didn't want to come, because it was embarrassing to meet Qian Minli, but he couldn't resist Wang Wei, and as a member of the Writers' Association, he should make his own contribution to the Writers' Association, or he should make his own contribution to the literary scene of Xijiang Province.

persuaded Zhao Xingchi to join the Writers' Association, which is to contribute to the literary scene of Xijiang Province.

Wang Wei persuaded him in this way, and Yu Decheng said "hehe" about it!

When Zhao Xingchi became popular because of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", the Writers' Association did not react, and Yu Decheng even heard someone say that Stephen Zhao was something in the Writers' Association; Stephen Zhao became the most popular fiction writer in mainland China because of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and he was so popular that he turned purple, and the Writers' Association reacted, but Yu Decheng saw that their reaction was to discuss whether Stephen Zhao was qualified to join the Writers' Association.

Now, the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is popular all over the country, and words such as "Guo Jing", "Huang Rong", "Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon", "Nine Yin True Scripture", "Huashan on Sword" and other words are all the rage, and have even become a cultural phenomenon; Hearing that Stephen Zhao's new history book and martial arts novel book were about to go on the market, the Writers' Association couldn't sit still, and quickly passed the review of Stephen Zhao, and then sent Wang Wei to contact Stephen Zhao.

This kind of bureaucracy, if it weren't for the retirement, Yu Decheng would want to slap these people hard.

"How long will we have to wait?" After not seeing Zhao Xingchi's figure for a long time, Wang Wei immediately became impatient.

"Drink water, two of you." Qian Minli took the initiative to pour a glass of water for the two, and then replied: "Mr. Zhao is meeting guests, but it will be fine soon, the two of you will wait a while." ”

Wang Wei snorted coldly: "Miss Qian, our patience is limited. Mr. Zhao's review of joining the Writers' Association was finally passed, don't make a mistake! ”

Qian Minli smiled but did not speak.

Yu Decheng was directly speechless, and scolded in his heart: "My brain is really in the water!" ”

Is it necessary for Stephen Zhao to join the Writers' Association?

I'm really not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates! (To be continued......)
