Chapter 39: Happy Birthday

Weng Huaijing waited for Yi Li to finish speaking, and the conference room was a little quieter before he spoke leisurely:

"I've just finished reading the character biography you made for the hero and heroine, as well as the lines and dialogues in a few episodes.

The heroine's character is a graduate degree, and she studied an unpopular direction such as the study of ancient literature in the pre-Qin period of China. ”

Glancing at Yan Qing nodding, Weng Huaijing continued to look at the camera: "Then there is a problem..."

Yan Qing lowered his head and flipped a few pages of the manuscript paper: "You say..."

"There is a scene in the restaurant, the male protagonist indulges his appetite in front of many diners and the female protagonist, regardless of the image, overeating, smoking, and drinking tea from the public teapot directly in the restaurant, the heroine said this next to him......"

Weng Huaijing's expression was filled with compassion and angry disappointment, and he began to read a certain line of the white heroine:

"The poor man will only pay attention to his own feelings, and will not care whether his actions will make others feel that he is discredited, and the double death will fall from the place where he appeared into the filthy dust, and there will be no one to mourn, revere, or sing."

Weng Huaijing didn't say anything after reading the lines, just looked at Yan Qing quietly.

Yan Qing raised his hand and pressed his forehead to think about it, and slowly spoke: "It's a wonderful performance, I think I understand what you mean, this poem is a bit of a drama here, and it is a little detached from the heroine's personality." ”

"Try it like this......" Weng Huaijing regained his previous look of pity:

"The people of the ancients have the will and the people of Zega; Unwilling, self-cultivation is seen in the world. If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world. I give you this passage of "Mencius", hoping that you will not care about my simple words, so that you can do it yourself. ”

There was warm applause in the conference room, and Weng Huaijing continued: "There are no mistakes in the context of the other lines, and these plots are okay... Not bad. ”

Yan Qing took Weng Huaijing's words and introduced the three plots named by him to the other participants:

"A Perfect" Day, tells the story of:

The male protagonist used the information he collected in advance and the PUA theory he summarized in the time loop, and after easily soaking all the beautiful girls in the town, he finally extended his clutches to the heroine.

But no matter how many times the male protagonist tries, even if he collects all the information of the heroine from childhood to adulthood, he can't succeed in concocting round after round of "Perfect Day Date Time" set up specifically for the heroine, but is slapped and educated by the heroine again and again.

"The Sorrow of the Knowing and Almighty" tells a slightly sad story:

The male protagonist has gone through nearly a thousand time loops, and he has become so familiar with the town that he is disgusted, and even knows everything about what everyone in the town will do and when.

The male protagonist fell into deep numbness, and lived like a walking corpse every day, until one day, he couldn't bear the pressure, confided in the female protagonist, and told everything and everything.

In the end, under the persuasion and guidance of the heroine, the male protagonist was moved by her kindness and thoughtfulness, and while he was completely moved to fall in love with the heroine, he also gained a positive attitude towards the time loop.

"Today is Tomorrow" is also the finale of the whole plot, and it is still the happy ending that is common in commercial movies:

The actor who adjusted his mentality went through long-term unremitting efforts in the time loop, and cultivated himself into an excellent, good man with sublimated personality, and one day it came naturally, and when the heroine took the initiative, he finally gained the heart of the heroine, and also got rid of the shackles of the time loop, and successfully reached their happy tomorrow.

After explaining the three plots, Yan Qing asked Liu Mingren: "Do we have any hope of finishing the filming in two days, Director Liu?" ”

Seeing that Liu Mingren was a little hesitant, Yan Qing continued to explain:

"I've tried to cut out a lot of unnecessary exterior scenes, and my idea is that most of the indoor scenes, we can use multiple cameras to shoot at the same time, as much as possible with a long shot to the end, and keep a single shot passing efficiently under the premise of ... Is this possible? ”

Liu Mingren flipped through the contents of the manuscript paper in his hand again, and seemed to have been thinking about issues such as scene layout, and only replied after a while:

"If we go according to the previous recording plan, we will have to test shoot a few scenes according to the script we have made this Friday and Saturday, which is why Yili chose a stable plan, at least we can temporarily set up scenes in our "office building" to complete the filming work. ”

Yili clasped her hands together and looked at Liu Mingren: "Our teacher Yan Qing, these three plots are really well written... Director Liu, if this can't be filmed, it's a pity. ”

Liu Mingren waved his hand to signal that Yi Li hadn't finished speaking:

"I thought about it, we can temporarily set up three studio scenes of the bar scene, the high-end restaurant scene, and the ordinary tea restaurant scene in the performing arts bar on the first floor, and the artist lounge can be used to shoot the hotel scene of the male protagonist, and the snow scene can be artificially arranged in the yard..."

Luo Bing saw that Liu Mingren was talking and speaking more and more slowly, so he interjected: "Director Liu, what are your thorny problems now?" ”

"We need to buy a lot of props, especially the heroine's bust ice sculpture in the scene of "Today is Tomorrow", which has to... Gotta find a way, and some necessary extras, like the little girl who sells roses in front of the hotel late at night~"

"I can do this, I can look small..."

Miao Miao's sudden voice caused laughter in the conference room, and Shao Qing quipped:

"I thought that Xiao Meow would take the initiative to invite Ying, and rush to play the cheongsam girl who was PUA by the male protagonist in the tea restaurant."

"I'm not, I don't, I don't want to, Sister Qing, don't talk nonsense."

Miao Miao was so anxious that she blushed and reached out to cover Shao Qing's mouth.

"What can be solved is not a problem, as long as everyone is sure to use this script, we will brainstorm together to solve these problems..."

Luo Bing said as he looked around, and after seeing that everyone nodded and agreed to use this script, he made a bold decision:

"The ice sculpture will be handed over to the whispering side, and today we will find someone to order a crystal craft bust sculpture, and do it according to the bust of Weng Huaijing, urgently. After the meeting of other props today, Yili took the lead, took the planning team and the logistics team to work overtime to make the props plan, and purchased them on the market tomorrow. ”

Yili and her little girls all had a willing expression in the face of the sudden overtime notice.

Shao Qing looked at Liu Mingren and stopped talking: "Are there enough people, Director Liu?" ”

Liu Mingren discussed a few more words with Mo Ran, the leader of the photography group, before replying:

"It's not a big problem, let's transfer some people from Huhai Pearl Satellite TV to come over to support, lighting engineers, sound recorders, photographers and some equipment or something..."

Liu Mingren looked at Yan Qing:

"The key is that these three scenes need to be directed by Mr. Yan Qing himself, and I can only coordinate them, after all, I have to manage the filming of "Matryoshka". ”

Liu Mingren is talking about matryoshka here, referring to the fact that he still has to manage the program recording team to shoot the three plots directed by Yan Qing.

Everyone quickly got the stalk of Liu Mingren's nesting doll, and the conference room was full of joy.

Yan Qing signaled that Luo Bing's side was fine, and then everyone aimed their eyes at Weng Huaijing.

Weng Huaijing turned around and looked at Shao Qing.

Shao Qing knowingly got up from the single sofa in the outer circle, walked to Weng Huaijing, bowed his head and whispered a few words.

After Yan Qing saw Weng Huaijing nodding slightly, Shao Qing sat back next to Miao Miao and Zhou Peipei, and after a while, Shao Qing cleared his throat and said, "If some shots can be borrowed to shoot, there is no problem on our side." ”

The others in the room smiled good-naturedly.

"Let's continue to finish the plot with other characters and details, Miao Miao is responsible for the copyright registration of this script, and everyone has the right to authorship."

Yan Qing opened his mouth to bring everyone back into the atmosphere of collective creation, and he continued:

"There is a paragraph that I didn't write on the manuscript paper, I made a song, and I planned to fill in two songs with different meanings in Cantonese and Mandarin respectively in the two episodes of the male protagonist's two plots "The "Perfect" Date and "Today is Tomorrow".

"White Rose" is used to let the male protagonist implement PUA, and "Red Rose" is used to make the plot soundtrack, and I set the heroine's place of origin to Yunfu people in Nanyue Province, which can also fit the setting that the heroine rarely sees snow. ”

…………

The meeting was held late, and through Yan Qing's guidance and the collective wisdom of the brain, the whole script was completed.

Luo Bing also sent a video recording Weng Huaijing's half-body data to the parent company of Whisper, and arranged for the 3D printing company to expedite the production of a half-length sculpture made of crystal-like figures.

Before the end of the meeting, the logistics team of "Talent Co., Ltd." also gave Yan Qing a surprise:

The lights suddenly went out in the conference room for the preparation of the manuscript, and the birthday cake with 32 candles was pushed out of the conference room by Lou Junwei and Zhao Mu of the logistics team with a small cart, and everyone who had been prepared tacitly sang a song "Happy Birthday" in unison.

The candlelight jumped in front of Yan Qing's eyes;

The faint scent of rosemary that soothed his mind in the air of the conference room;

There are also singing blessings offered by everyone in unison, except for Weng Huaijing, of course.

"After all, she's already danced a piece of 'Dancing Queen' for me."

All this made Yan Qing's heart comfortable, he hurriedly got up and bowed down to thank him, according to what he thought in his heart, and sincerely said that he was very moved by the heart of the program team, thank you for the surprise prepared by everyone, and so on.

…………

After returning home to the house, go through the porch and the courtyard on the way back to the small building.

Miao Miao asked Yan Qing in a low voice: "Brother Qing'er, are you happy today?" ”

Yan Qing's expression was relaxed: "I'm very happy, thank you, Xiao Meow." ”

Miao Miao clenched her little fist and waved: "I will be happy in the future, happy birthday!" Brother Qing'er, good night. ”

"Little meow, good night."

Seeing Miao Miao wave her hand to herself, she turned around and walked towards her building, Yan Qing, who was standing at the fork in the stone road in the center of the inner courtyard, took out her mobile phone and glanced at the time:

Yan Qing muttered to his body: "Happy birthday." ”
