Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

In the early morning, warm sunlight shines into the house through the large floor-to-ceiling windows. On the soft big bed, An Ruohua sleeps soundly.

It was very rare that Chen Feng got up earlier than An Ruohua today. Perhaps he was away from the complicated environment of the city and breathed fresh air. Chen Feng felt that he had been extra energetic these two days.

He has gone to the kitchen downstairs to make cherry millet porridge. The cherries sent by Zhao Tan are very fresh. After May, there are many seasonal fruits in Longtan Town, and most of them are natural and taste very good. Not bad, much tastier than what you find at fruit stalls in the city.

After finishing the porridge, Chen Feng sat on the wicker chair on the balcony with his tablet in his arms, and read the script sent by Mai Zi Zhaoxin with peace of mind.

The name of the script has been changed to "Infernal Affairs" at Chen Feng's suggestion, and the entire revised story is almost the same as the classic in Chen Feng's dream world.

Similar to changing "Crazy Stone", Mai Zizhao in this world has already written a story framework very similar to "Infernal Affairs", while Chen Feng is responsible for modifying some of the details or slightly adjusting the structure. In short, in the end, They have almost been able to completely restore the film in Chen Feng's dream world.

This form of cooperation makes Mai Zizhao feel very novel and incredible at the same time.

Because sometimes the script that Chen Feng revised was exactly the part of the script that he had thought about but failed to write. He felt that Chen Feng could always see through some of his thoughts and firmly help him make decisions. This feeling , it is easy to resonate with him.

Well, Chen Feng is a person who can really see through his thoughts. This kind of partner who can give him spiritual support is really rare.

It’s also rare.

As for Chen Feng, he also feels very lucky.

Because although he has watched many classic movies in the dream world, if he were really asked to copy these movies by himself, he would not be able to do it anyway.

But now, in this real world, it turns out that there are people who have similar ideas and creativity to those movies in his dream world. With the existence of these people, Chen Feng only needs to guide you in some details. This is Saved a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Chen Feng now only needs to try his best to help restore other people's scripts to how they look in his dream world, and then invest in filming.

With experience in another world, Chen Feng believes that the movies he invests in will not be too bad at least!

For example, this "Infernal Affairs" has such an excellent movie script, plus he has already thought of two male protagonists. As long as the movie is made, he will not worry about box office results!

This is "Infernal Affairs". Back in the dream world, Chen Feng liked this film very much, its story, its rhythm, its characterization, and the sense of fate it displayed...

All of this fascinates Chen Feng and the people in that dream world!

Therefore, Chen Feng also believes that when he reproduces this film in this real world, it will definitely conquer the audiences of this world.

…

"I didn't have a choice before,

Now I want to be a good person. "

"Okay, tell the judge and see if he lets you be a good person."

"That means killing me."

"Sorry, I'm a police officer."

"who knows!"

…

Chen Feng was very excited and added this classic line of the rooftop showdown into Mai Zizhao's script.

Mai Zizhao also has a lot of descriptions of this rooftop plot. Although the writing is also very exciting, it is not as good as it is. The language is a bit verbose, the character's emotional transition is a bit slow, and there is no sense of tension.

Therefore, Chen Feng directly crossed out the part about Mai Zizhao and changed it to the scenes in his dream world.

In this way, the effect is better. In the short dialogue, the characters' personalities and fierce confrontations are more vividly displayed, giving people a compact sense of oppression, and it makes it more exciting to watch it in one go.

Afterwards, Chen Feng briefly browsed the entire script. Well, it was almost ready. Except for some settings and character identities, this script could restore the film in his dream world to 100%. Over ninety!

Then leave it to Mai Zizhao to check and polish it, and the script will be completely completed!

After finishing the work, Chen Feng stretched out and turned around, only to find that An Ruohua on the bed had woken up at some point. She was lying on the bed sideways, looking at Chen Feng with very gentle eyes. sealing direction.

"Huh? You're awake, An An!"

Chen Feng smiled happily at An Ruohua.

An Ruohua nodded gently and continued to stare at Chen Feng with her wonderful eyes.

"Huh? What's wrong? Why do you keep looking at me like that?"

An Ruohua smiled sweetly: "It's nothing, I just think... you are so handsome when you work hard..."

Um... Chen Feng didn't expect to be praised so directly, and he couldn't help laughing happily.

…

After receiving Chen Feng's final revised script, Mai Zizhao prepared to go through the resignation procedures at his original agency.

Many people expressed their confusion about Mai Zizhao's resignation. After all, after staying in the company for so many years, his salary has always been good, and he is not young anymore. Why did he have to go to Kyoto City so thanklessly? Going somewhere far away?

Of course, there are also senior leaders in the company who are not very happy. After all, Mai Zizhao is also a famous screenwriter and can create a lot of achievements for the company. It is still a bit reluctant to let him go like this.

But because Mai Zizhao can also be regarded as a hero of the company, even though he is a little reluctant to let go, everyone can't quarrel and can only let him go.

But this made a few colleagues who usually didn't deal with Mai Zizhao very happy in the company.

"Haha, Zizhao, are you leaving? I heard that you are going to the north to make a fortune. When you become rich, don't forget our brothers!"

"Zizhao, go with peace of mind. If you can't survive in the north, you can still come back. Don't worry, we will welcome you back when the time comes."

"I heard that your "Infernal Affairs" book has never been sold, so you are frustrated? Are you going to the north this time to shoot "Infernal Affairs"? Congratulations to you, I'll wait for your film to be released. , we will definitely go to support..."

Most of the people around him said something weird, but Mai Zizhao didn't take it to heart.

Because at this time, he was still recalling some plots in the script that Chen Feng helped him revise.

…

"Sorry, I'm a police officer!"

"who knows?"

…

Mai Zizhao even shuddered at the thought of such concise dialogue.

It’s so wonderful, so enjoyable, so exciting!

There were no flashes of swords, no hail of bullets, but two people standing on the rooftop, having a light conversation, but each step was startling!

This is exactly what Mai Zizhao has always dreamed of!

So, in front of this wonderful movie script, what does the ridicule of outsiders mean?

Others simply don’t understand the joy of being a true film screenwriter!

After leaving his original company, Mai Zizhao called his good friend Liu Qiangwei.

"Qiangwei, the script of "Infernal Affairs" has finally been finalized. I have resigned and will go to Kyoto in a few days. Do you want to read the script again? I still hope that we can work together to complete this film... "

Liu Qiangwei is Mai Zizhao's classmate and good friend. The two have known each other since they were very young. However, Liu Qiangwei started his career as an actor and later switched to working behind the scenes and gradually became a director. He has also made many acclaimed and well-received films. He is a well-known director in the southern entertainment circle.

Mai Zizhao has always been on the road of screenwriting. He started writing sketches and plays, then wrote TV series, and finally became a well-known film screenwriter.

In short, both Liu Qiangwei and Mai Zizhao have very inspiring experiences, so they understand each other very well and have always had a good relationship.

However, this time Mai Zizhao's decision to go to Kyoto for development made Liu Qiangwei feel that it was not very reliable. He had long been accustomed to the rules of the southern entertainment industry and had an instinctive resistance to the unfamiliar environment in the north. Therefore, At first, he tried his best to stop Mai Zizhao.

But seeing that Mai Zizhao was determined and his departure was a certainty, Liu Qiangwei finally had no choice but to do anything.

Mai Zizhao has always wanted to persuade Liu Qiangwei to let him try the north with him.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can now see that the center of entertainment culture has moved to the north. If people in the southern circle continue to rest on their laurels, they will only make themselves further behind.

Therefore, Mai Zizhao very much hopes to bring Liu Qiangwei with him.

After all, Liu Qiangwei knows himself best. The two of them can produce better chemical reactions when working together, and the results of the film they produce will be better.

After listening to Mai Zizhao's nagging words again, Liu Qiangwei finally hesitated.

To be honest, he really doesn't want to go north. After all, he is a family-oriented person and doesn't like a turbulent life.

However, seeing that Mai Zizhao was really leaving, and Mai Zizhao also said that the investment in his new movie was almost settled, Liu Qiangwei finally wavered again.

On the one hand, he really couldn't let go of his friend Mai Zizhao. On the other hand, he had recently made several films that were not very successful, and now he needed a new film to save his reputation and face.

Finally, after thinking for a long time, Liu Qiangwei decided to read Mai Zizhao's new script before deciding whether to go to the north.

If the script is changed for the better, he can actually... follow Mai Zizhao to have a career.

Anyway, it's just a movie. At worst, I can finish filming and then come back, so it won't waste much time.

After all, the movie market in the southern entertainment industry is so sluggish right now, so it seems like a good choice to try some other options with your best friend.

Seeing that Liu Qiangwei finally relented, Mai Zizhao also breathed a sigh of relief and immediately sent the new script.

If Liu Qiangwei can really go to the north with him to do this project, then he will be more confident that it will succeed.

They must try their best to make "Infernal Affairs" a good movie!

As for the funding issue, Chen Feng has also communicated with him. As long as it is some reasonable needs, he will definitely be satisfied.

With such a strong guarantee, Mai Zizhao felt relieved.

After all, everyone knows that Chen Feng made 250 million through "Crazy Stone". There will be no problem with his vision and funds.
