Improv [Rebirth]

A week passed, and Chen Yan had given up hope.He pinched the net so that he would not be complacent and go to the box office every now and then.

Now Chen Yan is sitting in the coffee shop, facing Hong Zizhen.He emailed Chen Yan yesterday, saying that he was very interested in his script and invited him to discuss it in person.

Originally, investors usually choose plays, scriptwriters write, and then find directors and actors, but with Hong Zizhen, he is the one who chooses others.

"I remember you, the play you graduated from was well written." Hong Zizhen said straight to the point as soon as she sat down.

He is younger than Chen Yan, about the same age as Han Tianzong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a handsome appearance.

"I remember you too," Chen Yan said with a smile, "I really like your works in the drama festival back then, and it's truly the number one."

"Thank you. I've been honored by the team. It's not fair to compare with you." Hong Zizhen said frankly.

He saw that Chen Yan was a little surprised, and said: "There is nothing to say, connections are part of strength, I have this starting point, there is no need to drag myself down."

Chen Yan smiled, and took advantage of the opportunity to praise him: "Resources are part of it, and it takes strength to support it."

"I played with a video camera when I was six, and wandered around the film studio when I was seven. If I still can't shoot anything, I just pack it up and go back to farming." Hong Zizhen said with a smile.

They chatted about the film industry, a customary opening, before turning to business.When Hong Zizhen mentioned the movie that Chen Yan was showing, Chen Yan was very nervous, fearing that the dismal box office would affect Hong Zizhen's decision, but Hong Zizhen didn't care at all.

"Anyway, I did not aim at the box office when I made "Great Building", and I also know that this kind of film cannot be sold well. I want to send it to foreign exhibitions first, and it is best to win some awards to prove my strength. Now This is still used in China, if you have a prize in your hand, your future will be much smoother."

Chen Yan didn't know where he got his confidence. Once he left the country, wouldn't his father's influence be useless?

He asked tactfully, "Then do you have a way?"

"You don't have to worry about this, there will be someone from Hongda to help with the operation."

Chen Yan nodded, and they chatted about some details, discussing for a while whether the theme was appropriate and how to set the tone.Hong Zizhen was not satisfied with the ending, he proposed three endings himself, but Chen Yan rejected them all.

Fortunately, this person is not stubborn and can listen to suggestions. Finally, he combined the opinions of the two people to make a general decision.

In the end, Chen Yan couldn't help asking Hong Zizhen if there was any favorite protagonist candidate. Although he had no control over this matter, "A High Building" tells the story of the actor He Jianqing. It is almost a one-man show by He Jianqing alone. Unsuccessful actors play a decisive role.

Hong Zizhen tapped the cup wall with her index finger, pondered for a while before saying: "I didn't want to bring it up so early. After all, I haven't seen anything yet. I should give myself more choices. But... I do have some ideas in my heart."

"All ears."

"First of all, this person should not be too young. He Jianqing has to act from his youth to his twilight years. After the reform and opening up, it is difficult for young people to perform this kind of vicissitudes. At least they must be over 35. If the acting skills are particularly good, the lower limit can be relaxed. Secondly, the image must be It fits, it can’t be too feminine, but it can’t be too heavy-backed. It doesn’t meet the audience’s expectations for Tsing Yi. Last but not least, this is a movie I’m very optimistic about. Find me any singer or idol."

Chen Yan nodded. He felt that these were the basic requirements. With Hong Zizhen's identity, it should not be difficult to find someone who fits his heart.

Hong Zizhen suddenly asked again: "What do you think of Qi Andong?"

Chen Yan was stunned for a while, digested for a long time, and asked in disbelief: "Who are you talking about?"

"Qi Andong, Director Lin said that you are very familiar, what do you think of him playing He Jianqing?"

"He...doesn't seem to be 35?" He hesitated.

"It's almost done when you turn it on. Why do you look so surprised, isn't Qi Andong the first choice for leading actors in all domestic movies?" He joked.

Chen Yan did sketch He Jianqing's appearance in his mind when he wrote "Great Buildings", and he also used it on many actors, of course Qi Andong was among them.It is undeniable that he is his favorite actor and will always appear in his mind at the first time.

But he still can't imagine Qi Andong singing Danjiao with his hair in a bun, not to mention the relationship between him and Qi Andong is unclear now, and he should suddenly get involved with his script...

In the past, he would probably be ecstatic.

Now he should be ecstatic. If Qi Andong could act, the film would be almost [-]% successful, but Chen Yan didn't like it.

"It's... quite appropriate." He finally admitted.

"Great, you think so too, then go talk to him."

"Ah?!" He suddenly raised his head and stared at Hong Zizhen.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Hong Zizhen was puzzled.

Chen Yan was speechless. Qi Andong just satirized him, saying that he gave everything to him, and now he was asked to ask Qi Andong to act in his own play. How did he say it?

He had no choice but to agree verbally first, and then explain to Hong Zizhen slowly after preparation.

Qi Andong is still not at home today, it seems that he is determined not to meet Chen Yan, only the extra box of candy on the coffee table proves that someone has come back.

Chen Yan glanced at the packaging. The candy was the kind his father bought for him when he was a child. It was quite expensive, so he didn't touch it.

He walked around the house a few times, not in the mood to write, and looked at Qi Andong's photo album.

The earliest photos in the album were after Qi Andong had already started acting in a movie. Chen Yan wanted to see when he said he was "playing tricks", but he couldn't find any records.

Qi Andong's photo album can be said to be a feast for the film and television industry. Whether it is a big shot or a star, you can find shadows in it. Chen Yan looked at their clothes and backgrounds, simulated the scene at that time in his mind, and imagined what Qi Andong looked like. Before I knew it, more than an hour passed.

When Han Tianzong announced the good news to him, he still didn't know what happened.

"Brother, the box office has gone up, have you seen it?"

"Ah?" Chen Yan flipped up and turned on the computer. When he saw that there was no internet, he hurried to the next door to open the router.

The curve has really gone higher, which is quite an anomalous situation.

"...Word of mouth is fermenting, plus there are no competitive films before and after..." Han Tianzong analyzed on the phone, Chen Yan listened carefully, and at the end, he only said one sentence - the box office will be saved.

After Han Tian finished talking, he asked again embarrassingly: "Brother, how is Brother Zhengqing?"

Chen Yan vaguely felt that something was going on between his junior brother and Ni Zhengqing, but he didn't care about it at the moment, he just said, "Okay, he's pretty good."

Han Tianzong asked a few more questions, and heard that Chen Yan was not in the mood to pay attention to him now. He couldn't ask anything, so he could only hang up the phone reluctantly.

Chen Yan walked back and forth in the room excitedly, unable to stop.

In his previous life, he had never succeeded at all, and this was the first time he had tasted victory.He kept going in circles in the living room, until he almost jumped up at the end.

He stopped by the window and looked out. The view here is excellent, facing a park, not obstructed by high-rise buildings at all, the sky is blue and white.

Just yesterday, he was still in infinite panic in his heart, deeply afraid that he would not be able to go on, but today the road turned and the willows and flowers came to light, making people cry and laugh, and their mood fluctuated like a winding mountain road.

Chen Yan doesn't want to be easily swayed by sorrow and joy, but the trajectory of fate is always flickering, so he wants to play people thoroughly.

If there hadn't been that quarrel, he even wanted to call Qi Andong to announce the good news.

In the next few days, the box office performance has been good, and it quickly returned to the capital, and made a small profit.Chen Yan's name is not limited to screenwriters, but has gradually spread to the film industry.As a result, more people asked him to write notebooks, so there was no need to worry about work.

Qi Andong never contacted him, nor did he congratulate him.Chen Yan knew that he paid close attention to the box office trend every day, and it was impossible not to see the peculiar roller coaster route of "Summer League", but he just didn't say a word, wishing to say "I don't care about you" on his face .

His joyful mood was clouded, and he threw the phone on the bed, sinking his butt in the cushion.

There is a box of candy on the bedside table, which was placed on the coffee table before.He didn't know when Qi Andong started to eat sweets, so he went over to pick it up to have a look, and it was even more strange that it hadn't been opened.

Why put the things you don't eat here, to attract flies?

He took the box of candy as Qi Andong, and threw it into the back of the cupboard viciously and locked it up.

The phone vibrated, Chen Yan picked it up, it was He Manman.

There was a bit of subtle rejection in her tone, but she sounded happy: "Yanzi, congratulations!"

"Thank you, Sister Man, I'll treat you to dinner next time."

"Don't do it next time. It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, or today, who knows if you are perfunctory to me."

"Okay," Chen Yan smiled. Anyway, Qi Andong is not at home, and no one cares where he goes. "You decide the location."

"I'm just joking, but you still take it seriously." He Manman paused, and then said, "The boss wants to write a play, let me come to you, do you have time?"

Chen Yan was startled: "Which boss?"

"Who else is there, Mr. Di?"

He had mixed feelings in his heart: "Why did the boss find me..."

"I don't know, I'm lucky." There was an imperceptible sour taste in her tone, "Maybe it's your performance in the latest film."

Chen Yan collected himself and asked, "What subject?"

"Crime in the entertainment industry is about filming. The boss thinks this film is compelling and flattering, so he pre-ordered it for his new favorite."

"A newcomer who came out recently? Do I know her, isn't she pretty? If she's pretty, I'll write better." Chen Yan's words were half a joke, half a test.

"It's a man," He Manman laughed, "He looks really good-looking, I like it even when he looks at it."

He had an ominous premonition in his heart, and asked again: "Have you got an idea?"

"I've already thought about the name, so let's call it "Song of Sin", isn't it awesome? Only the boss dares to name it like this. If we name it like this, we will definitely be scolded."

Chen Yan shook his whole body, and almost didn't hold the phone so softly.

"Sin Song", his last play, the work he was robbed of.Why now?It's only 2012...why is it so early? !
