Chapter 245: Fang's Wild Grass

Joseph sat there in silence, and the pride in his heart was much lessened.

In fact, it wasn't those shorthand fonts that hit him, although seeing those shorthand that he didn't understand at all did make him feel a kind of frustration, but the bigger blow was those books!

Nearly 100 books, in three months, I have read them all!

Even if he can't read those notes, he can see that the person who takes notes and annotates not only does not flip at random when he reads the book, but also reads it very seriously. Those paragraphs are underlined, and the notes and notes in the blank area all indicate that each book is carefully read and remembered!

What a speed!

Of course, reading books quickly doesn't mean anything, it mainly depends on Fang Zhao's ability.

Thinking back to all the information about Fang Zhao that he had investigated, Joseph felt that he had better keep silent.

It was rude to sit there and stare at people all the time, and Joseph couldn't keep staring at Fang Zhao to study, so he stared at the bookshelf, originally wanting to think about some questions, but thinking about it, it turned into a daze.

It was only when he heard the sound of the book being closed that Joseph came to his senses and had a polite smile on his face again.

Fang Zhao put the notebook in the drawer and looked at Joseph, "Wait." ”

"No, no, no, I'm bothering." Joseph was much more humble this time than he had been at first. No matter what, Fang Zhao is still worthy of admiration.

Joseph saw that Fang Zhao was not in a hurry, so he didn't go directly to the topic, but took out the thickest history book from the shelf, "I have a question for Mr. Fang, the notes on this are shorthand?" ”

"Yes." Fang Cheng said jokingly, "This is a shorthand I invented myself-Fang's Wild Grass, a book." ”

In fact, it is not cursive, but gradually transformed from cursive, and some complex words in it will be replaced by other symbols, so that it will become Fang Zhao's own shorthand method, basically writing a sentence in one stroke.

Take notes, just know it yourself, write it for yourself and use it in this way, and show it to others is the text that everyone knows.

Just like when Fang Zhao created his own notation, the manuscript used his own notation, and when he showed it to others, it would be converted into the current common notation.

When the century was destroyed, this shorthand method was often used when writing strategic analysis and writing personal notes, and when it was not used, it would be destroyed in time, and at that time it had to be cautious, not only to guard against foreign enemies, but also to guard against villains.

It is precisely because of this that the so-called "great men's notes" in the New Century Memorial Hall are actually not very personal things, they are all things that can be shown to others, there are no secrets, and naturally they are not the "Fang's wild grass" used.

But now you don't need to write it to destroy, there are no strategic secrets related to the survival of the team that need to be kept, it's just that that habit has been retained, and when Fang summons the mission, the free time is relatively short, and this shorthand method saves time and trouble.

Moreover, it may be because of the change in physique, Ark is now reading books faster and faster, and the ideas in his head are also fast, in order to save time to the greatest extent to write the ideas in his head, whether it is combat mode or non-combat mode, it is most appropriate to use this "one-stroke book" shorthand method.

All of these shorthand notes from the Extinction Period were destroyed, so now Fang Zhao is not afraid of being discovered.

"I see." Sure enough, it's shorthand.

"You've seen all of them?" Joseph asked, seemingly unintentionally.

"yes, that's almost the end of it." Fang recalled the road. In fact, there are more than a dozen books, and yesterday I saw that the bookshelves were too full, and when I cleaned the bookshelves, I put them somewhere else, in order to make room for newly printed books. But there is no need to say these summons.

"I didn't expect Mr. Fang to read so many books when he was in service." Joseph sighed, "I finally know why you have a background in music and know so much." ”

Fang Zhao originally wanted to reply with the sentence "live to learn all the time", but he held back before leaving, which was not appropriate now.

Seeing that Fang Zhao was not complacent about this, and even had no other superfluous emotions, Joseph did not mention it anymore, his face was straight, and he said the purpose of coming today.

"I wonder if Mr. Fang knows about the super film and television project with the background of the extinction century that is about to be restarted?" Joseph asked.

"I heard." Fang Zhao nodded.

"Although it has not been officially announced, some entertainment companies on all continents have received news of the restart. It is indeed true that this thing is restarted. As one of the investors and producers, we have the right to nominate people. ”

Joseph observed Fang Zhao without a trace, and did not see a trace of urgency, eagerness, excitement and other emotions on Fang Zhao's face, Fang Zhao still maintained the same posture of listening carefully as just now.

"Mr. Fang, you signed a contract with Silver Wing Media, as one of the members of the advisory group of "Red Face" and "Warring States", you should know that the advisory group is indispensable for historical dramas. We have also watched the two historical dramas from Silver Wing, the quality is indeed excellent, and the strength of the advisory group is very strong. Today, on behalf of our Star Fund, I would like to extend an invitation to you, Mr. Fang, and hope that you can become a member of the advisory board of the super film and television project that is about to be restarted. ”

Before Joseph received this task, he actually didn't understand why the above would look at the Chinese call. As a member of the film and television project team, Joseph naturally knows what that super film and television project is all about.

Although this project has been proposed a long time ago, it has not been filmed because the multiple people who paid for the production have been quarreling.

There are more than 10 investment and producers like Juxing Fund, all of whom are famous in various continents, and they have been arguing until now, you can't get used to me in terms of actors, I can't get used to you, and the script is also noisy, this one says that you are fictional and slanderous, and that one is too exaggerated and easy to recruit black, and the script has also been revised for many years, and there are too many disputes, and it has been shelved until now.

Now, Juxing Fund has increased its investment in this project, contacted other investment producers, and decided to restart this project. The first thing to do is to put the advisors together.

As a super film and television project, the advisory group is naturally very large, it can be said that the number and strength of the advisory group this time are incomparable to those previous film and television dramas, and there may even be no historical drama advisory group that can be compared with it for many years after that.

Each investor has its own approved consultants, and Juxing Fund has also proposed a number of experts and professors in the circle to study the history of the extinction century.

The historical drama "Red Face" with very high clicks on the Internet and the popular "Warring States", after an episode is broadcast, many people will not pay attention to the dense subtitles at the end of the film, but the people from the Juxingji Film and Television Project Team are eyeing it.

In many historical dramas, the so-called historical consultants are just a name, and they are forcibly pulled over to support a faΓ§ade, and they withdraw after a few words of dinner and chat, and the role is almost zero. Maybe those nominal consultants haven't even read the script, so there are many dramas with lax settings, which is also a loss of reputation for those nominal consultants. However, many historical consultants don't care about their reputation, they care more about how much money they can get, just get the money, the director doesn't need them, and they are happy.

However, the already broadcast "Red Face" and the popular "Warring States", as soon as these two dramas come out, everyone can see the quality, the masses are not blind, and the clicks and popularity that have been hanging at the top of the video website list are proof, so Juxing Fund will pay attention to the advisory group on the end credits.

Fang Zhao was already staring at this super film and television project, and when he was invited, he naturally would not refuse.

I talked to Joseph about the contract and signed a non-disclosure agreement. What needs to be kept secret is not the signing of the advisory group, but the content of the script that will be received later.

The script has not yet been fully finalized, and the people in the advisory team need to check the pulse, and it will probably wait until the script is finalized before announcing the resumption of the project.

After signing the contract, Fang Zhao asked, "Who are the members of the advisory group that have been invited?" ”

Now that the contracts have been signed and everyone is a cooperative relationship, Joseph does not need to keep it secret, and will show Fang Zhao the list that has long been included in the advisory group, "These have been determined, and now there may be some new invitations like you, who have not yet registered, and the list is incomplete." ”

Even if the list is incomplete, Fang Zhao swept it over at a glance and knew what the advisory group of the super film and television project was, such a strong lineup was incomparable to those previous dramas.

The general adviser of history is the president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and he is a highly respected cultural researcher, and the names behind him include members of the Institute of Archaeology and History, and winners of literary awards, all of whom are well-known scholars in literature, history, and art.

Why did Fang Zhao know about them?

A third of the history-related books on the shelves are written by these people!

Just by looking at these names, you know that it is definitely a high-level drama.

For this super film and television project that has been restarted, if the list of advisors is released, this lineup will make the entire film and television industry tremble!

Looking at these names, it stands to reason that people like Fang Zhao, who are not history majors, are not invited, and in terms of consultants, Fang Zhao's current status is far inferior to those who have already become famous.

However, Fang Zhao has strong experience in "actual combat", the members of the advisory group of "Red Face" and "Warring States", the members of the regional architectural design team of the Silver Wing of the Film and Television City, and the members of the advisory group of Flamingo's "Battle of the Century", these are all examples in front of him, and they can't be faked!

The important thing is Flamingo's "Battle of the Century", which is the real background of the extinction of the century, and Fang Zhao gave a lot of pertinent suggestions.

For investors, Fang Zhao's resume is no less valuable than some literary awards.

It is precisely because of this that the Gathering Star Fund will send Joseph over to invite Fang Zhao.

I'm afraid that Duan Qianji himself didn't expect that the actors of the two well-made historical dramas had not been able to register with the investors, and the historical consultants were targeted first.

The mission was completed, and Joseph did not stay at the post for long, intending to take his leave.

"Wait a minute." Fang Zhao stopped Joseph, who was getting up and about to leave.

"Mr. Fang still has questions?" Joseph wondered.

"Has the actor been decided?" Fang Zhao asked.

"It's not yet, we have to wait for the script to be finalized before we can solve the actor problem." Joseph thought that Fang Zhao was inquiring about Silver Wing, and he didn't feel strange, "This drama, the important supporting roles, and the protagonists, all need to be recognized by many parties, and then finally voted on, it depends on how each company operates, I don't know about those who don't know about it, but there is one thing that can be sure, and the ones that are not famous have no chance." ”

Joseph's "fame" is not just the fame of a continent, but from a global perspective.

"Thank you." Fang Zhao said.

"You're welcome, by the way," Joseph remembered something, and turned to the other party to summon, "Mr. Fang is very talented in composition, and I have also heard the scene music in the two dramas launched by Silver Wing, which is very good, and I am looking forward to hearing more of Mr. Fang's works in the dramas broadcast later." ”

After saying that, Joseph smiled politely and walked away.

What he said meant to tell Fang Zhao that you let your company help operate it, stir it up, and expand its popularity, maybe you will be favored by the person in charge of this aspect of the Juxing Fund. After all, no matter how super a film and television project is, it also needs a variety of scene music. The opening and ending of the film must not be called by Fang Zhao, Fang Zhao is not qualified now, but the short scene music in it is an opportunity for Fang Zhao.

Of course, Fang Zhao understood what Joseph meant, but he had his plans and would not follow Joseph's suggestion, but he also thanked Joseph for his kind reminder.

After Joseph left, Fang Zhao looked at an invitation on the table. After scanning with a personal terminal, you will be granted permission to enter a discussion group of advisors for easy management.

After Fang was summoned, he received some electronic documents, which had nothing to do with the script, but some reminders to the new advisors that they needed to pay attention to, as well as to help the new advisors adjust their mentality.

Consultants and consultants cannot just ignore and ask, nor can they ignore and only ask, let alone ignore and ignore them. Film and television dramas, not historical documentaries, naturally have their artistic place, which is to remind some ignorant consultants where to start and from which angle to think about the problem.

Historical drama, it is first and foremost a drama rather than history, it is expressed in the form of audio-visual art, which is derived from life and higher than life, and as a kind of audio-visual art, the investment is so large, it naturally needs to be able to resonate enough with the audience, so as to have greater returns, but in addition to artistry, it cannot lack authenticity in some key places.

After reading those documents, Fang Zhao had a number in his heart, and now he was invited in, that is, he would report first, and then the content of the script would be divided.

Just thinking about what the script would tell, Fang Zhao received a call from Xue Jing.

Xue Jing, a music artist who has finished his global tour, also saw the video of the mobilization meeting of the Baiji Star Military Region today and saw the part of the commendation.

However, Old Man Xue called to care, and he was also worried that Fang Zhao would take the wrong path, what if Fang Zhao decided to stay in the army and develop?

Xue Jing still hopes that Fang Zhao can have a higher pursuit of music and art, and hopes that Fang Zhao can go further on this road and be recognized by more people, especially the particularly picky academic people, if Fang Zhao does not go up, the academic group will always judge Fang Zhao as a "low-end route".

"Now I go out on a mission during the day, and I will create it when I return to the outpost. He is currently working on a piece of scene music for the creation of "Sengoku". Fang Zhao talked about the daily things.

Xue Jingyan's face was a little less worried, and his smile deepened, "This is very good, the ancient style scene music in "Red Face" and "Warring States" is also very good, I have seen your works, keep it, with your current ability, when the service is over, you can plan your personal performance." ”

"That's what I thought too."

Xue Jing was very happy with Fang Zhao's answer, chatted about music again, and told Fang Zhao to pay attention to safety when he went out on a mission, and then disconnected the communication.

After talking to Xue Jingtong, Fang Zhao pondered for a while and dialed a number.

In the General Hospital of Yanzhou Military Region, Yan Biao is undergoing a review. He has been fitted with a prosthetic, or a particularly expensive one, flexibility, practicality and other aspects are very satisfactory to him, the retirement pay and bonuses are almost all smashed on this, if it is not for the military veterans with military merits, enjoy extraordinarily generous treatment, the discount is much more, and his retirement fee is absolutely unaffordable to buy this kind of prosthetic.

Receiving Fang Zhao's call, Yan Biao was surprised. He has always been in contact with Fang Zhao, but it is all text messages, nearly half a year of treatment and rehabilitation training, his body has recovered, probably because he has expectations for the future, he has a good attitude, and now that medical technology is constantly innovating, the time for physical recovery is earlier than he expected.

When he sent a message to Fang Zhao last week, he said that he had been discharged from the hospital, and his body had adjusted to the best condition and could go to work at any time. Today, I just came to the hospital for a follow-up, and the results of the follow-up were very good.

After reading Yan Biao's review results today, after confirming that there was no problem, Fang Zhao said: "Ready to start." ”

Yan Biao's spirit was shocked, and his eyes flashed with anticipation, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time!" ”

After listening carefully to what Fang Zhao commanded, after the call, Yan Biao stood at the door of the hospital, looked at the sky, and took a deep breath. It's time for him to work!

Until then, though......

Yan Biao lifted his trouser leg and looked at his metallic gray mechanical calf, a little hesitant.

For the first time after being discharged from the army, in order to make a better impression, should he plate this leg gold? Or is it silver-plated? Or a more subtle complexion?
