Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

"Mai Zi, I'm very sorry, your book was rejected by our boss... I worked really hard to recommend it, and everyone in our department is very optimistic about your story, but unfortunately... it doesn't seem to suit the boss's taste... There is nothing I can do this time, so you can try elsewhere... Well, thank you for your understanding, come on, I think you can do it..."

After hanging up the call from his friend, Mai Zizhao sighed and lay down directly on the sofa.

Well, his script was rejected again, which made him feel a little incredible.

After all, he, Mai Zizhao, is not an unknown stranger in the industry. He has written several works with a box office of over 100 million, and even won the Best Screenplay Award in the most prosperous era of the southern entertainment industry. Now, No one cares about the notebook he wrote with so much care?

What situation, what situation?

Are those elders blind? Or have you completely fallen behind?

Not so!

Mai Zizhao really couldn't understand this situation.

But just when Mai Zizhao was in a helpless daze, the friend just now sent him two more messages.

"Maizi, I think you can try Chen Feng. Chen Feng is the one who invested in the filming of "Crazy Stone". Think about it, "Crazy Stone" was said to have only one script, and Chen Feng I invested decisively, and I think your script is not bad, and you might have a good chance."

"However, Chen Feng usually keeps a low profile in the circle and doesn't show up much. It may not be easy to find him directly, but you can find Tailang Entertainment first. Tailang and Chen Feng have a close relationship. If you can contact Tailang Entertainment, Once Lang gets online, there will probably be a lot of success.”

Chen Feng? "Crazy Stone"? Tailang Entertainment?

These names, Mai Zizhao, are actually a bit familiar. After all, rumors that "Crazy Stone" grossed 1.8 billion at the box office have long spread throughout the industry. Mai Zizhao has discussed these things with his friends before.

After all, Chen Feng is a fierce man who made 250 million with 5 million.

Moreover, Mai Zizhao personally went to see "Crazy Stone" and watched it twice. It was indeed a good movie.

But in the past, Mai Zizhao always regarded these as anecdotes in the industry, but he never thought that one day he might be able to get involved with these people.

But think about it,

What my friend said was quite right. After all, his book had been rejected several times, so he might as well try Chen Feng for a chance.

After all, Chen Feng now has 250 million, and he is indeed the kind of person who dares to invest in good scripts.

So, Mai Zizhao decided to really try to find Chen Feng.

Following a friend's suggestion, Mai Zizhao first checked the information of Tailang Entertainment. If he didn't check it, he wouldn't know. After checking, he was really surprised. Sister Xia actually works at Tailang Entertainment now.

Sister Xia used to be in the southern entertainment industry, and she was also very familiar with Mai Zizhao. With this relationship, it was much easier to connect.

So Mai Zizhao immediately sent a message to Sister Xia and explained what he meant.

Sister Xia was very happy after receiving the news from Mai Zizhao. She could just tell Xu Tailang about this kind of thing. Xu Tailang would definitely give him this face.

As for whether Chen Feng can like Mai Zizhao's script, it depends on Mai Zizhao's own ability.

After talking about the script, Sister Xia asked about Mai Zizhao's current situation, and then directly invited him to try out at Tailang Entertainment.

"The south is really in decline. There's really no point in hanging around. The environment in the north is better now. Come over and give it a try. It's better than staying in that lifeless circle in the south."

"Aren't you alert enough about the script this time? Everyone knows your talent, but why no one wants your script? Is it because they don't know the goods? No, it's because the market in the south has shrunk to the point where it can't be eaten. It’s just your script, it’s that simple.”

"Look at the situation in the north... Li Juncai's comedy film has come to an end, and the box office is expected to reach 2 billion, and most of the box office is won in the northern entertainment market. This is enough to show that Problem."

"Two billion, that's two billion!"

After listening to Sister Xia's words, Mai Zizhao felt agitated in his heart.

Indeed, Sister Xia is right. No one wants his books now, not because his stuff is not good, but because of the overall malaise in the southern entertainment industry.

So...do you really want to go to the north?

Mai Zizhao was slightly moved.

However, this kind of thing cannot be decided quickly. After all, Mai Zizhao has been hanging out in the southern circles for so many years. Now he suddenly wants to move to the north, and it will take some time to prepare.

In any case, he has to at least finish the several projects he has on hand before he can leave. Even if he really decides to go north, it will probably be a few months later.

…

But it didn't matter, because Chen Feng quickly saw the script sent by Mai Zizhao first.

It was Xu Tailang who personally sent him the notebook. Chen Feng was originally annoyed by similar things during this period, but since Xu Tailang personally handed it to him, he had to take a good look at it anyway.

And when he saw the word "Wu Jian" written in the title of the script, Chen Feng's heart moved. Could it be...

So, Chen Feng looked at it seriously.

After reading the entire script, Chen Feng finally let out a sigh of relief.

Although "Infernal Affairs" written by this guy named Mai Zizhao is very similar in temperament to the film in his dream world, and even the overall plot structure is similar, there are big differences in some details, and , Mai Zizhao's script does have too many dramas and lacks many famous scenes.

However, this was enough to shock and surprise Chen Feng.

After all, without his own memories in the dream world, Mai Zizhao's Infernal Affairs would have been very exciting, and Chen Feng was convinced that he would not be able to come up with such a good story.

Of course, what made Chen Feng even more happy was that Mai Zizhao would actually cast such a script to him. This was truly a match made in heaven.

Chen Feng believed that as long as he told Mai Zizhao roughly about the movie he had watched in the dream world, the other party would definitely be able to modify his story to be more exciting.

Well, if Chen Feng provides the creative idea and Mai Zizhao writes it himself, then it shouldn't be a problem to restore the classic work in the dream world.

Even the main actors have been roughly selected.

Chen Hui and Lin Zhehua.

Well, these two people are indeed the most suitable candidates in Chen Feng's mind.

However, at present, Lin Zhehua's acting skills are not enough to support this film. Fortunately, recently, Lin Zhehua has been thrown into various crews to hone his acting skills.

I hope he can stop holding back by then.
