"The temperament doesn't match?"

After hearing this, Liu Yiqian glanced at Cheng Shuo again.

Why didn’t I see Cheng Shuo’s temperament?

But this also aroused her curiosity, "What's the story in the script?"

Yan Fei smiled and said patiently: "It's a story about time travel. The protagonist travels to the past and uses his foresight to take the lead in singing the songs of people who have not yet created them in the future. And with this, he becomes an instant hit."

Although it is an old routine in Internet articles, Liu Yiqian still found it refreshing.

Rebirth, time travel, and going back to the past, there are actually quite a few movies with this theme.

It's like "Eighteen Again" or "Child's Dream", but the main core revolves around family love and the like. The main line is relatively positive, and it is easier to arouse the empathy of the public.

In her opinion, the direction of Mahua is already a new one, and with this kind of background design, it is quite suitable for the spread of comedy scenes.

"Of course, there is also the main theme of exploring human nature."

"oh?"

Liu Yiqian was really curious, "How do you present it?"

Yan Fei said in a more popular tone: "The story is actually a dream. In the dream, the protagonist fulfilled his wish and married the goddess, but he also lost himself in the indulgence. After waking up from the dream, he discovered the talents around him.

it's the best."

"Oh..." Liu Yiqian nodded slowly, "That's reasonable."

Cheng Shuo touched his nose awkwardly. If he hadn't known the ins and outs of the drama "Charlotte's Trouble", he would have thought that Yan Fei was nodding at him.

"It's not necessarily that exaggerated to go back in time and indulge in life and wealth...but it's not important either."

After defending himself for a moment, Cheng Shuo changed the subject, "So what kind of role do you invite me to play?"

Upon hearing Cheng Shuo's words, a smile suddenly appeared on the faces of Yan Fei and others.

When he asked this, he was obviously interested in the play and took the initiative to ask about the characters. It seemed that he had some knowledge of the matter.

"You can read the script, it's just a few dozen seconds of footage."

Cheng Shuo took the script and frowned more and more as he looked at the plot above.

"What happened?"

Liu Yiqian leaned over and read two lines, then burst into laughter.

There are not many lines in the script, only a few simple lines.

First, the character description. Cheng Shuo, with a bruised nose and swollen face, said in an aggrieved tone: I actually like Charlotte very much. I like every song of his. I usually compose it myself, but I don’t know why. I feel like I have always been living in his shadow.

inside.

With just such a description, Liu Yiqian already had a picture in her mind.

The protagonist copied this matter and copied it on Cheng Shuo's head, directly draining him of all his talent.

Ignoring Liu Yiqian's feedback, the group of people locked their eyes on Cheng Shuo and did not miss a single reaction from him.

Seeing his eyebrows furrowed, his heart suddenly twitched subconsciously.

There are many people who can replace the role of Cheng Shuo. Even if you can't find him, you can find someone who looks similar to you.

But after all, Mahua wants to make himself into a big IP, so this kind of sideline behavior can easily be caught.

Furthermore, he really wanted to pay off Cheng Shuo's salary, or else he felt uneasy if he put the favor aside.

They have to find a reason to give the money away.

"Let's do this. I'll check the schedule for this role. If it's suitable, I'll play it. You can also find other people and ask for their opinions."

Hearing this, Yan Fei suddenly understood.

Isn't this the same as the saying during the interview, "You go home and wait for the notification."

"No, you can think about it again." Yan Fei was a little anxious, "Other roles are fine, we have more money."

"Hahaha."

Liu Yiqian didn't hold back her smile. Even if she didn't know the cause and effect, she could read their intentions from the eagerness on their faces.

In the past, she had seen people deliberately trying to lower prices, but this time her eyes were opened to the kind of people who wanted to throw money away.

"In this case, let's talk about cooperation."

Cheng Shuo also understood what they meant, it was just that the favor was difficult to repay.

"you say."

"I wrote a script, but it lacks a team and actors. I will handle the funding and publicity."

Yan Fei and I looked at each other, and for a moment we didn't know what to say.

Cheng Shuo's words sound a bit dismissive. He can produce a work like "Peace Hotel" by himself, so why does he need them?

Currently, Song Yang, who has the highest level of director in the Mahua team, has only made one film, "The Richest Man in Xihong City", which received mostly positive reviews at the end, and is still far behind "Peace Hotel".

Woolen cloth.

Going back to Yan Fei and Peng Damo, they are still completely blank in the film market.

"I'm a little short of people, and I need to open a few more plays."

Yan Fei still feels a little unsure. Although he has created works such as "The Count of Monte Cristo" and "Today's Happiness", filming is something that only a big girl can do.

Cheng Shuo's job at hand may be good, but if he's not careful, it can easily become the only bad show in the entire company.

Those passersby will definitely not blame Cheng Shuo for the reason, naturally whoever directs it will take over.

In the final analysis, he is not very confident in his own level, especially in "Peace Hotel" where Zhu Yu was the first to perform.

I thought about this, but I ignored this reason, "If I start working on several movies at the same time, will it be diverted? Besides, I don't have much experience. I can only direct comedies, so I can't get into the mainstream."

Liu Yiqian also looked at Cheng Shuo in confusion. Not to mention that the standards of the two directors in front of her had not been proven by the market, and Cheng Shuo himself had not shown any creative talents in the direction of comedy.

"It's a comedy."

Cheng Shuo first set the main tone, and then continued unhurriedly: "A more absurd comedy, the style is more similar to Ning Hao."

"Ning Hao?"

Hearing Ning Hao's name, Yan Fei and Peng Damo secretly glanced at each other, catching a hint of heartbeat in each other's eyes.

Multi-line narrative, coincidence, road movie style, absurd black humor.

On the surface, there is no distinction between comedy films, but everyone agrees that black humor is more profound.

"dark humor?"

Seeing Cheng Shuo nodding, Yan Fei rubbed his eyebrows hard.

If Ning Hao hadn't been lazy again after "Beautiful Heart", Cheng Shuo would have coaxed him into filming.

"There will be no collision of schedules. Two dramas and two movies will be released after the production of "Charlotte" is completed."

Yan Fei gritted his teeth and asked, "What's the name of the movie?"

""The Unknown""

After smacking it twice more in his mouth, Yan Fei nodded hesitantly.

His drama is not only short of behind-the-scenes, but also short of actors. This is a good opportunity for him to become a famous actor.

The script written by Cheng Shuo has almost no chance of being bad, and even worse, they still have some friendship with Ning Hao.

Isn't this Ning Hao's style? If it really doesn't work, ask him to help change it.

The worst case scenario is to repay the favor.

After thinking through all his concerns, Yan Fei became determined: "Then, happy cooperation."
