Reborn as King [Entertainment]

On January 1th, Fei Ran, who was filming in Hengdian, welcomed the agent who sent the script thousands of miles away.

"Here, the script for the sequel to "The Beginning of Man", you can sign the contract if you read it and there is no problem."

Fei Ran accepted the script with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Ding, I will trouble you to make a special trip."

"It's okay, just came to visit the set, how does it feel to hang Wia?" When Ding Zan arrived on the set, Fei Ran was flying around in the sky.Although it looks very chic, Ding Zan, a veteran industry insider, naturally knows the hard work behind it.

Feiran touched his thigh with concern: "It's okay now, but at the beginning, my thigh was worn out and the pain was excruciating. Fortunately, Li Yue asked someone to send me a box of ointment, which is very good Use it, apply it at night, and the scab will form in the morning.” When I was playing tricks, I almost never hanged the wire, even if I hung it once or twice, it was over in one go.Watching those protagonists doing actions and reciting lines on the wire is not to mention how chic it is. It is my turn to hang for a day or half a day before I know the hard work.

Ding Zan felt tired when he heard Li Yue's name, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "That's good...you should read the script first."

"Oh good." Originally, Fei Ran wanted to wait until work was over and go back to the hotel to read slowly, thinking that the manager was in a hurry, so he had to pick up the script and read it.But the more he looked, the tighter his frown became.

"...Brother Ding, did Director Du say when to sign the contract?"

"Didn't that mean that he also knows that you're filming, and this sequel has just been approved, and the funds don't seem to be in place yet? What Director Du means is to set the schedule for the main characters first, lest you won't be able to grab people if it's too late."

Fei Ran nodded thoughtfully, first handed the script to Lin Zhu to put it away, and then said to Ding Zan: "Brother Ding, it's not convenient to talk here, let's discuss it in detail when we go back to the hotel at night."

Ding Zan heard the meaning of Fei Ran's words, and sat down beside Fei Ran's rest chair without asking any more questions.

At [-]:[-] p.m., the crew of "Li Taibai", which was progressing smoothly, finished work on time. Fei Ran, Ding Zan, Lin Zhu and the driver Xiao Zhou returned to the hotel.Except for the driver, Xiao Zhou, who went back to the room to rest after arriving at the hotel, the other three entered Feijian's room.

As soon as he entered the room, Ding Zan couldn't wait to ask: "Is there any problem with the script?"

Feiran shook his head hesitantly: "I can't say it's a problem...it's just that it's not good enough."

Ding Zan didn't understand: "What do you mean it's not good enough? Will it be smashed?"

Fei Ran wryly smiled and said: "It might not be a smash, but it is definitely not as good as the first one. The logic is not smooth enough, the turning point is also very blunt, the plot is set up to create suspense, and the characters are much weaker than the first one."

"Brother Xiao Fei doesn't want to pick it up?" Lin Zhu asked.

"No, Director Du is kind to me. As I said, I will definitely take his play."

"Then what do you mean?" Ding Zan was confused.

Feiran didn't know how to explain his feelings.To him, Du Zhuang is not only Bole after rebirth, but also a friend before rebirth.Although the time of dating is still short, Du Zhuang's enthusiasm for movies is evident in his eyes, and he appreciates him very much.But such Du Zhuang wrote such a script, Fei Ran felt really uncomfortable.

It's like watching a favorite actor give himself up after becoming famous, Fei Ran felt more worried than regretful.If Du Zhuang is allowed to go on like this, how many times can he withstand the good reputation accumulated by "The Beginning of Man"?A director is not like an actor, no matter how hard he tries, he will have diehard fans. As a director, if his reputation is ruined, it will directly affect the box office.Although it cannot be said that there will be no more scenes to shoot from now on, but is it a good thing to keep directing bad scenes?

After thinking for a while, Feiran said to Ding Zan: "Brother Ding, "Lee Taibai" will be finished in a few days. I want to go to Director Du with you to talk about the script after it is finished."

Ding Zan frowned, and looked at Feiran disapprovingly: "Talk about the script with Director Du? What do you want to talk about? Could it be that you want to persuade the director to change the script? Not to mention that this is a taboo in itself, Du Zhuang is now When you are in high spirits, will you listen to him when you pour cold water on him at this time? If you think the script is not good, the company can play a bad face and make excuses, and there is no need for you to be such an early bird."

Feiran naturally understands that doing what Ding Zan said is the best.In fact, he doesn't have to say this at all, he just accepts the play and acts according to the script. As for whether the script is good or not, whether the quality of the movie is good or not, these are not things he should worry about at all.What's more, accepting this play can be regarded as fulfilling the friendship between him and Du Zhuang. Afterwards, he can speak completely according to the script, and no one can find his fault.

Fan Ran thought of the afternoon when he and Du Zhuang met for the first time to sign the contract before rebirth, the chubby honest man said with a smile under the bright sunshine in May: [I think, movies should be interesting.No matter what kind of movie it is, interesting audiences can watch it, and interesting audiences can remember it... I want to make interesting movies. ]

Fei Ran looked at Ding Zan, and said seriously: "Brother Ding, I want to try. Du Zhuang is a good director, and he single-handedly promoted me. I don't want to just watch him sink like this."

Knowing that persuasion is not enough, Ding Zan could only rub his brows helplessly: "... I hope Du Zhuang can understand your painstaking efforts."

On January 1, Ding Zan invited Du Zhuang to a tea room.

As soon as Du Zhuang, who came according to the appointment, entered the private room, he saw Fei Ran sitting next to Ding Zan, and said with surprise on his face, "Fei Ran! Why are you here too!"

Feiran stood up and held Du Zhuang's hand: "Director Du, long time no see."

After a few words of pleasantries, the two sat down one after another. Du Zhuang took out the contract while muttering: "The funds are not fully in place yet, and Zhang Xiuji still needs to adjust the schedule, so I tentatively plan to start the operation in March. You should be fine, right?" ?”

"There is no problem with the schedule. After "Li Taibai" is finished, all my schedules are empty. There is no news about the third season of "The Wilderness". It is estimated that it will be in the second half of the year." Instead, he put it on the table and took the script that Ding Zan took out from his handbag, "Director Du, I want to talk to you about the script."

Feiran didn't read the contract and didn't sign it, so Du Zhuang felt something was wrong.Looking at the script in Fei Ran's hand, the smile on his face gradually disappeared: "What's wrong with the script?"

Feiran was silent for a while, and carefully said: "There is nothing wrong with the script as a whole... It's just that Zhao Yihang's behavior seems to be unable to find any logical support, and the transformation has become a bit blunt; The feeling of reversal for the sake of reversal; the case involved in the script..."

Du Zhuang rudely interrupted Fei Ran: "You mean, you think my script is not good and you don't want to act?"

Fei Ran quickly explained: "It's not that I don't want to act, but I just feel that the script has something..."

Du Zhuang interrupted Feiran's words again, and said with a cold snort: "I said why the script has been sent to you for more than a week, and there is no reply. If you don't want to answer it, just say it. I didn't force you to accept it. There's no need to use the script as an excuse!"

Ding Zan frowned, wanted to say something but was stopped by Fei Ran.Du Zhuang's reaction at this moment is not surprising.He was not in a hurry to defend, but signed the two contracts, and seeing Du Zhuang's face improved because of his actions, he said sincerely:

"Director Du, I'm not looking for excuses for not wanting to take on this drama, but I just think the script of "The Beginning of Man" is so interesting, and the audience's evaluation is also very high. If the quality of the sequel drops, the audience will be disappointed, and they will smash it." Your signboard..."

Du Zhuang, who had originally calmed down his anger because of Feiran's signing, became angry again after hearing Feiran's words, and angrily said: "What smashed the signboard? What dropped in quality? To put it bluntly, you just want to change the script." What? Are you dissatisfied with the setting of the two male protagonists, and want to change it to a leading male protagonist? Zhang Xiuji never said that, you have such a face, so you want to change the script and add more dramas to yourself?"

"...Zhang Xiuji hasn't replied yet and said that he wants to take this drama?" Finding that the persuasion model won't persuade him, Feiran decides to make a tough move, and said in a deep voice, "You said that the funds have not been fully in place yet, because you used this script to contact Jinshi The capital is not invested, so we have to find another way?"

Du Zhuang stared at Feiran with his tongue gaping, speechless for a moment.

"Why Zhang Xiuji hasn't replied yet, why Goldstone Capital is unwilling to invest, haven't you thought about the reason? You also know in your heart that the script is flawed, otherwise you wouldn't blow it up as soon as I said it. But why are you unwilling to face up to this? A little bit? You should know better than anyone what kind of movie is made according to the current script, why..."

"Snapped!"

Du Zhuang slapped the table and stood up, blushing and scolding thickly: "Come on, don't talk so high-sounding! Don't answer if you don't want to, don't make me seem to ask you to act! How popular are you?" You're so forgetful that you think you can give advice? When I was filming a TV series, you were still peeing in the mud!" After finishing speaking, Du Zhuang didn't even get the contract, turned his head and left.

Ding Zan rubbed his brows as he watched the carved wooden door slamming shut, "I knew it would happen... Have you ever thought about how much it will affect you if it gets out?"

Feiran looked at the contract and script on the table, and said after a long silence: "...Director Du is not that kind of person."

Things have become like this, Ding Zan lost his temper when he saw Feiran was still helping Du Zhuang, he sighed: "I hope."

In the same tea room, in another private room.

"You've been in the bathroom for a long time," said the man with kung fu tea, and handed a cup of tea to Bai Ziyue who had just entered the door. Seeing his smile, the man couldn't help asking curiously, " Who did you meet? So happy?"

Bai Ziyue took the teacup and drank it down, playing with the delicate tea set, and said with a smile: "I heard some interesting things... By the way, the one under your hand named Liu Mu just finished filming a movie?"

"Well, "Detective Bai Ze", I've been talking about the platform recently. What's the matter? Is there a problem?" Liu Mu's manager asked.

"It's nothing, just asking." Bai Ziyue looked at the teacup in his hand, a playful smile flashed in his eyes.
