April went by quickly.

Inadvertently, more than half of it has passed!

During this time,

Sun Qingxuan's "Honey Snow Xiangshen" officially started filming, but it is said that the progress is very slow, as if it is because some actors' acting skills are not good, resulting in a lot of NG.

Of course

Some of the actors referred to here do not include Sun Qingxuan.

Although Sun Qingxuan is acting for the first time, her overall performance is barely passing, and it is far from the point of frequent NG.

Chen Ming didn't pay much attention to it.

"The Old Nine Gates" has crossed the watershed of sixteen episodes, and the next plot scripts revolve around the lower tomb.

And in the process,

The audience will understand the fun of tomb robbery from the Buddha and the second master.

Those who originally abandoned the drama because of the girl's death still choose to chase the drama again, but I have to say that they did lose some of the audience.

My Healing Game

Mangyu TV also doesn't care about this part of the lost audience, the viewing base of their platform is too large, a group of viewers are lost today, and another batch will be added tomorrow.

This has almost no impact on "The Old Nine Gates".

At this moment,

Chen Ming really experienced the pleasure of lying down and earning money.

Every time an episode is broadcast, Chen Ming will get a share of the revenue of this episode, and he doesn't need to worry about anything at all.

The other side.

Kyoto's Gentle Manga called Su Rou, and the good news came that "My Hero Father" had been sold out on a little manga online.

Now open the homepage of a little comic network, and you can see the carousel recommendation page.

And "My Heroic Father" has refreshed a little bit of comic network, and the record of the most reward coins in a single day for suspense comics.

Su Rou was naturally very happy.

This is the first manga she draws!

To be able to achieve such good results, it is inseparable from Chen Ming's plot design, and it is also inseparable from her own exquisite painting skills.

Chen Ming is thinking about it.

Do you want to give Su Rou a long comic?

For example, hot-blooded manga such as "Naruto" and "Dragon Ball".

To this end,

Chen Ming also consulted Su Rou's opinion.

Su Rou can work as an agent while drawing, but she may slow down her drawing, and may even only be able to draw one chapter a week.

Chen Ming's eyes lit up.

That's great!

It's just a chapter a week.

The long comics are too fast, but there are some meanings that can catch up with the schedule, Su Rouyi

It's just right to draw a chapter a week.

Past

Those long-form comics are basically the same update rate.

Moreover, there are more and more employees who have been recruited into the company now, and there is no shortage of Su Rou, a concept artist.

Even if Su Rou's long-form comics are updated slowly, there are other original artists in the company who draw some comics, which will not affect the company's normal business.

I thought about it for a moment.

Chen Ming decided to talk about the early plot of "Naruto" to Su Rou.

Why not choose other long-form comics?

Because nothing else is over, only Naruto is over.

...........

It's the end of April.

this day.

Chen Ming left the house with the written suspense film 2.0 script and went to Xu Manke's studio.

Chen Ming's goal this time is not a short film, but a complete film.

Inside the studio.

Xu Manke was waiting for Chen Ming here early in the morning.

Chen Ming naturally sat down and said softly: "This time, I still plan to shoot a suspense film." ”

"The Tuner or something?"

Xu Manke asked thoughtfully.

Chen Ming nodded.

Since last year, China's suspense films have begun to explode in a blowout, and directors of all sizes are following the trend to shoot suspense films similar to "The Tuner".

But basically they all pounced!

They didn't learn the essence.

At the end of "The Tuner", the male protagonist wears sunglasses, and the guide cane in his hand leans forward little by little, and the cans on the road are flying in the next second.

This scene is a very clever finishing touch.

It is this action that shapes the ending of "The Tuner" into a gray open-ended ending.

If you think the male protagonist is really blind, then he is really blind;

If you think the male protagonist is still pretending to be blind, then he is pretending to be blind.

See what each viewer thinks.

But the suspense films shot by these directors are all pretending to be suspenseful, the plot logic does not make sense, and the actors' acting skills are also very average.

"The Tuner" has taken suspense films to a whole new level, but these follow-up suspense films have pulled this height down.

All in all

The atmosphere of suspense films in Huaguo at this stage is not good.

When Xu Manke heard that Chen Ming wanted to make another suspense film, she still wanted to persuade Chen Ming a little, but she also knew that Chen Ming was stubborn, and it was estimated that persuasion was useless.

After thinking for a while, Xu Manke turned on the serious mode: "I'll read the script first." ”

Chen Ming handed the script to Xu Manke.

"Manslaughter."

"The title of the film is quite interesting."

Xu Manke commented.

Let's be honest.

There are many movies in Huaguo, such as "Suicide", "He Kills", and "Booby Traps".

But "Manslaughter" is the first time I heard it.

Literally, it should be one person who accidentally kills another.

What the specific plot is, it still depends on the script.

Half an hour later,

Xu Manke's eyes widened wider and wider, and there was an extremely obvious look of shock in his eyes.

Followed by

The last page of the script is blank.

"What about the end?"

"Why wasn't the ending written??"

Xu Manke asked anxiously.

Just reading the script, she had the idea that she couldn't wait to see the feature film.

It's perfect!

The logic of the plot is coherent, leaving no logical flaws.

More critically,

The performance of the male protagonist in the play does not match the title of the film.

It seems to be manslaughter, and it seems to be a deliberate killing!

Chen Ming started to play the classic set again, letting the audience guess!

What the audience guesses is what it is.

Moreover, the details in "Manslaughter" are also full.

It's just that Xu Man is a little puzzled why Chen Ming left the final ending empty.

In fact, Chen Ming is still hesitant about the ending.

"Manslaughter" has two endings, one is the same gray ending as "The Tuner", where the male protagonist kills someone but cannot be arrested because of insufficient evidence, and continues to live his previous life; Another ending is that the male protagonist surrenders himself and confesses his crimes.

Personally, Chen Ming leans towards the former.

The grey ending never goes out of style!

And the gray ending leaves the strongest impression on the audience, and there will be no abruptness that forcibly leads to a happy ending.

But the experience of the sixteenth episode of "Old Nine Gates" made Chen Ming hesitate.

The girl's death made Chen Ming scolded by the audience. In the eyes of the audience, Chen Ming, as a screenwriter, has 10,000 ways to save the girl, but Chen Ming chose not to save it.

From the audience's point of view, they seem to prefer to watch the happy ending.

What is the trade-off?

Chen Ming was a little undecided.
