Stars of China Entertainment

The filming of "Want to See You" has not stopped.

Cheng Shuo was still in Yanjing and could only hand over the work on the phone with Jin Yimeng, who had been taking the photo recently.

"How was the shoot?"

"No problem." Jin Yimeng held a mobile phone in one hand and a timetable in the other, "Liu Yiqian is getting better and better, and Ma Tianyu is very suitable for this kind of role as a doormat."

Her tone was slightly hesitant, "It's just that Lin Gengxin has been too active recently."

"active?"

Jin Yimeng nodded, "He doesn't seem to know that he is the murderer at all. His attitude has improved, but the direction is not right."

Cheng Shuo understood immediately. It was probably because of the success of "Xiu Chun Knife" that he was still excited.

"The rumor is that he hasn't been serious enough lately."

"Ah?" Jin Yimeng was stunned, "But Lin Gengxin has been working really hard recently. He even memorized the lines of his opponent's actors."

"Just say this, no matter how it turns out, you should give him three things to adjust first."

Jin Yimeng hesitated and said: "It took a lot of effort for him to adjust to his condition."

When she recalled Lin Gengxin's nervous appearance when she first joined the group, she felt a cold wind running up her spine.

He obviously has a very sunny temperament, but he looks like he is possessed by a ghost.

Cheng Shuo's tone did not change, "Yes, when he is almost recovered, I will give him the scripts for the last few episodes."

Jin Yimeng swallowed, and when Cheng Shuo mentioned the word recovery, he couldn't help but hesitate and asked, "Isn't this a little too cruel?"

"He's a donkey and won't go away without being whipped twice."

"Okay." Jin Yimeng nodded heavily, "Director, when will you come back?"

"I'm going to watch a play and I'll go back after that."

...

"Is it done? It's about to start. Come in quickly." Hu Ge watched Cheng Shuo put down his phone and repeatedly urged him to put his phone on silent.

Cheng Shuo looked at the time and said, "Isn't it about half an hour until the show starts?"

"Let's go backstage to meet Wan Qian first." Hu Ge raised the flower basket in his hand, "Besides, senior sister has been very busy recently, so she may not be able to receive your notebook immediately."

At the door of Guohua, Cheng Shuo and his wife tightened their cotton-padded clothes.

Wan Qian had acted in the Mandarin version of "The Wilderness and the Man" in her early years, but she had always been a foreign aid until she was included in the cast in 21 years.

She is relatively free on the drama stage, and this time she starred in the famous work "The Peach Blossom Fan" of the Experimental Theater, the predecessor of the Chinese language.

This "Peach Blossom Fan" is also called "The Biography of Liu Rushi". It just so happens that her movie "Liu Rushi" is also being promoted. At this time, starring in this "Peach Blossom Fan" will attract drama audiences to the cinema.

After leading Cheng Shuo away for a long time, the two finally arrived backstage.

Needless to say, the two people's faces were quite effective, and no one stopped them along the way.

Far away, when he saw the back of Wan Qian's head, Hu Ge called out enthusiastically, "Senior sister."

Wan Qian is smaller, and her appearance and condition are more like Tsing Yi's style.

She can be regarded as an actress who maintains her own style relatively consistently, but Tsing Yi in the Mainland has never been very popular.

"Hu Ge?" Wan Qian stood up, looking surprised, "Why are you here?"

He took the flower basket handed over by Hu Ge with a smile and said, "What else do you want to bring?"

With a smile on his face, Hu Ge turned around and pointed at Cheng Shuo, "He bought it. His hands were too cold, so he let me hold it."

Wan Qian covered her mouth and chuckled, "You are borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha."

With a glance, he saw Cheng Shuo next to Hu Ge, "Cheng Shuo, hello, hello, I particularly like your songs."

"Hello, I really like your songs too."

Wan Qian raised her beautiful eyes and thought that Cheng Shuo could compliment her a little bit, but she didn't expect that he would take an unusual approach.

He immediately laughed and said, "You are quite humorous."

Turning around, he picked up the orange and put it into their hands, "Let's eat some fruit."

Hu Ge was not restrained. He peeled an orange and said straight to the point: "I'm bringing Cheng Shuo here this time because I have a play and I want to ask if you are interested."

"Is there a show?" Wan Qian's eyes lit up, "What show?"

"It's called "Peace Hotel", the script should have been sent to you, hiss——"

After eating an orange, Hu Ge's face twisted with soreness. Seeing this scene, Cheng Shuo silently stopped peeling the orange.

"Hahaha." Wan Qian was amused by his expression, "I've been a little busy recently. The scripts are all handled by my agent and I haven't seen them yet."

She nodded her chin and leaned on the edge of the dressing table, "Is it a remake of Zhou Runfa's "Peace Hotel"?"

In 1995, Wei Jiahui made a film called Peace Hotel, starring Zhou Runfa, which received good reputation and box office at the time. Zhou Runfa also won the 15th Academy Award for Best Actor for this film, and the heroine Ye Tong was also nominated for the Best Actress seat.

It can be regarded as a classic IP. If the adaptation can retain the core, it should be a good film.

After "Willow Rush", she was offered the movie "Christmas Rose", but there was a feeling of rejection from the production and director.

When she heard about the movie invitation, she became interested.

The previous film "Don't Stop the Camera" proved Cheng Shuo's screenwriting ability, and "Xiu Chun Dao" also proved Tangren's production ability.

But I didn’t know how Cheng Shuo would adapt it, so I didn’t agree rashly.

"No, it's a story about a hotel."

Wan Qian raised her head, just waiting for Cheng Shuo to continue. If it was just a story about a hotel, it would be no different from an advertising video.

She has watched "The Camera Don't Stop" and it is a film that wins based on its subject matter. With such an idea, Cheng Shuo will certainly not just tell a story about a hotel.

"In 1936, the lover of Mr. Yue Fei, the chief concierge of the Peace Hotel, and a regular patron of the Peace Hotel, was killed at home. A huge family collapsed in an instant, and a dispute over inheritance began..."

Cheng Shuo finished telling the synopsis of the plot, and Wan Qian also became quiet.

After thinking carefully for a long time, she raised her head and asked:

"Did you specifically choose the time of 1936?"

"Yes."

"Do you want to tell a story about a big family that collapsed in an instant?"

"Yes."

Wan Qian took a deep breath, "Let me ask you one last silly question. Is the protagonist's name "Serving the country with loyalty?"

Cheng Shuo raised his eyebrows: "So."

The questions and answers matched one by one, and Wan Qian's lips curled up: "You have some ideas."

The most important factor in measuring a good script is the script structure. To tell the story clearly in a few sentences is to show the structure.

And just by compressing a 90-minute story into a few sentences, and with a lot of foreshadowing, this is already an incredible book.

"Then what you invited me to play was..."

"Heroine."

Wan Qian smiled and said, "Then I will discuss it with my agent and give you an answer."

"Okay, let's go then."

Seeing that they had no intention of staying, Wan Qian was stunned and said, "Don't you watch the drama?"

Hu Ge threw away the orange peel and said, "How can I watch this without buying a ticket?"

Wan Qian said angrily, "I'll give it to you."

"Okay." Hu Ge nodded, "It happens to be quite cold outside."
