400, depressed

After Zhang Si left, He Miao flipped through "Latent" at random, didn't look closely, put it in her bag, and continued to be busy with the work at hand, until she got off work, but her daughter called, hoping that he would come home early tonight for dinner, and she cooked the dishes herself.

He Miao has a 16-year-old daughter, who is in her first year of high school, and is usually very babyy, and when he heard that his daughter cooked for the first time, he happily immediately packed up his things and got off work. It wasn't until after dinner in the evening, when a family of three was sitting in the living room watching TV, that he remembered that there was a script in his bag. The script will be discussed tomorrow, and he will read it in advance, although he is more interested in Cao Wen or Wang Liangcheng.

Zhang Si is a new screenwriter of the company with great potential, and two consecutive dramas are popular, and he must pay attention to it.

After talking to his wife and daughter, he came to the study and found a stack of printed A4 paper, and the cover was in two big words: "Latent".

Just looking at the name, He Miao guessed that this drama would be completely different from Cao Wen and Wang Liangcheng's, and after watching the consequences, this is a story of an underground party! Although it was not explicitly said that this type of script was not wanted before, but looking at the Chinese Anti-Japanese War films, this kind of film is very niche, the year before last is still the year before last, He Miao remembers that a wave of this kind of TV series suddenly appeared on the market, but they all hit the streets, the ratings were bleak, and basically no one filmed after that.

With a preconceived idea, He Miao spent more than ten minutes quickly reading the script of "Latent", I have to say that this is a wonderful story, even if Zhang Si has not written this type of book before, but the foundation is there, it is not bad.

He Miao put down the notebook and frowned in thought.

His daughter pushed the door in and called him to talk.

He Miao smiled on her face, put aside the troubles in her heart for the time being, and chatted with her daughter while watching TV.

The next day, He Miao sent three scripts to relevant personnel, and organized a script seminar in the afternoon to determine which script to use.

In the conference room, plus He Miao himself, a total of 7 people, it is convenient to divide the results during voting.

The team members have Lao Liu, who specializes in leading newcomer screenwriters, and Zhang Si and Jiang Rong came out under his leadership.

In addition, there are Zhu Ruopu, Minister of the Ministry of Film and Television, and Cai Yonglai, Vice Minister......

The staff once again sent two copies of the printed script to all the participants, and He Miao introduced the general situation of the project at the same time.

"Just these two scripts?" Lao Liu casually flipped through Cao Wen's script and asked He Miao, who was sitting opposite him.

He Miao paused for a moment before saying, "That's it." ”

Lao Liu nodded and didn't make a sound. He had heard that Zhang Si was also participating in this competition, but now he didn't even see the script. He doesn't know the specific situation inside, so it's hard to say anything, in fact, he really wants to see Zhang Si's book, as for the two copies at hand, Cao Wen and Wang Liangcheng are good screenwriters, with solid basic skills, and they have proven themselves in some types of films, and they are trustworthy.

However, he wants to see what different things Zhang Si can bring him, Cao Wen and Wang Liangcheng's books are good books, but they can't surprise him, whether it is the writing technique or the core of the story, they are very mature and traditional.

He has been a screenwriter for decades, and this kind of book can't move him anymore.

Although Lao Liu is old, he is very cutting-edge, young in mentality, and willing to accept new ideas, which is also the main reason why the company asked him to bring new screenwriters.

After He Miao's words fell, someone at the venue glanced at Lao Liu, in fact, it was not only that he had such doubts, but they also had them. As the core screenwriters of the company, of course they know that this project invited three screenwriters to write a book, but now they only have two copies of the book, what about Zhang Si? Or did Zhang Si not write it well and was automatically eliminated?

"That's right. In the quiet meeting, Minister Zhu Ruopu said, "Let me explain." Everyone should have heard that this project invited three screenwriters, in addition to Cao Wen and Wang Liangcheng, the authors of the two scripts in their hands, and Zhang Si. ”

The crowd looked at him.

Zhu Ruopu continued: "But now I see only two books, it's not that Zhang Si didn't write, he also wrote a book, He Miao and I both read it, it's pretty good, but unfortunately, there are other important projects for him to do, he has no skills, we weighed it, and decided to let him do a new project wholeheartedly, this project we will choose one between Cao Wen and Wang Liangcheng." ”

He Miao answered: "I didn't think about this matter well, so Zhang Sibai was busy. I have explained to him and he understands that it was his consent not to participate in this project. ”

Everyone discussed for a while, in fact, they were very curious about what kind of new project they had to sigh, but Zhu Ruopu and He Miao didn't take the initiative to say it, thinking that they might need to keep it secret, so they didn't ask more.

After this hiccup, the meeting proceeded to its normal routine.

At the same time, in Zhang Si's office, Jiang Rong was indignant about what happened to him, if he lost the script, he would be happy and have nothing to say, but now he is not even qualified to participate in the competition, which makes people angry.

"Zhang Si, do you really plan to shoot "The Hidden Corner 2"?" Jiang Rong asked.

"The company has this intention. Zhang Si said that "The Hidden Corner" is so popular now, it is not strange to shoot a sequel, but it is strange not to shoot it.

"But I think "The Hidden Corner" has already been written, and I will make a second one to destroy the classic. ”

"It's just a name, and the story can be taken as another one. ”

"How can I listen to you, are you glad to do so?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, it doesn't matter if I'm happy or not, but you know me, it's not my style to make bad money, even if I really want to make a second part, there will definitely be innovation. ”

......

When he got off work in the afternoon, Zhang Si met Cao Wen again. He got out of the elevator, the other party entered the elevator, last time Zhang Si took the initiative to say hello, but Cao Wen didn't know him and didn't respond, this time it was the active party.

"Getting off work?" Cao Wen asked with a smile.

"Oh yes, congratulations to you, Mr. Cao. Zhang Si responded positively.

Cao Wen smiled reservedly: "Thank you, next time we have time to communicate together." ”

The two chatted briefly, one went home from work, and the other took the elevator to He Miao's office.

When He Miao saw him coming, he smiled and got up to congratulate him.

At the script review meeting in the afternoon, Cao Wen's script was selected at 5:2.

As soon as he learned the news, Cao Wen rushed over, not only to thank and accept congratulations, but more importantly, to meet the director and producer.

Although the project has not yet been officially established, they will start to prepare the preliminary work, including the drafting of the project establishment report.

After a while, two people came into the office one after another, He Miao closed the door, and a new project began to incubate.

Zhang Si drove back to Huangjia Village, turned into the small restaurant "Koufu Xinfu" in the alley, simply ate dinner, walked home, and after walking to the boundary of Xiaohongmadi, he heard the singing of children in the evening breeze.

Through the fence, he saw seven or eight children in the courtyard, one of whom was holding a microphone and singing happily, with a "duck" at the end of each song.

As the weather warms up, the karaoke bought last autumn has moved out, and it is a good time for children to show off their singing voices.
