I messed with my ex-husband after amnesia

How does he know this?

long forgotten.

Congxu was also steady, and calmly replied in front of several colleagues in the project team: "I can write if I want to. Is there any reason?"

Lu Shenfei nodded.

Colleague: Oh my god, the book about the gods, the copyright was sold to Lucheng after the divorce, and it was developed together with Mr. Lu. The theme happened to be remarriage.

The love and hatred of the bosses is different from that of ordinary people. Not only are there turmoil, but they also involve tens of millions of copyrights and projects with hundreds of millions of funds.

There is so much money that people cry.

The colleague who presided over the meeting continued, and the ppt was followed by the introduction and personality of several protagonists.

While watching, Cong Xu used his mobile phone to download the manuscript of "No Way Back" from the cloud disk.

Just as it was going down, Lu Shenfei next to him took two paper documents from a pile of paper documents and pushed them to Congxu's hand.

——The printed full text of "No Way Back", and the outline of "No Way Back".

Cong Xu picked it up, listening to the meeting with his ears pricked up, while flipping through the two books.

The speed of flipping is faster than usual browsing. It is not too much to describe it as 1.5 times the speed of ten lines at a glance. It is just a few pages, and you can read several chapters in one minute.

Listening, watching, and scanning the outline: It tells the story of a woman who chooses to divorce in order to pursue her personal dreams. After a few years, she returns to her ex-husband and wants to get back her ex-husband and continue her relationship.

The host colleague finished talking about the main characters at a normal speed. Before the plot, everyone discussed the characters of the main characters in the original novel.

"The character designs of the male and female protagonists in the early stage are not very pleasing to the audience, especially the female protagonist."

"Didn't the previous plan change a few versions of the character design and weaken some 'negative images'?"

"Now the old scheme is no longer needed."

"Teacher Xu?"

With the narration and participation in the project at the same time, everyone's first reaction is of course to ask for opinions on the original work before discussing it.

While reading the text, Cong Xu replied, "Don't move the character first."

A colleague explained to Cong Xu: "The focus of film and television is generally to determine the character design first."

Cong Xu has never participated in such projects, and is not a layman in creation, so he is not so easy to fool: "The character design is never independent, it is always embedded in the plot, and the charm of the characters is also displayed through event feedback and character arcs. "

"Even if the character design needs to be changed, it must be changed in the plot."

No one refuted it, and no one dared to refute it. Regardless of the aura of narration, Cong Xu's words, which are understood by experts, are very important in themselves.

Several colleagues remained silent, and everyone subconsciously looked at Lu Shenfei.

Lu Shenfei made a final decision: "Leave the characters alone, let's start with the plot."

The fine-grained plot was cut into successive events.

If you don’t pick it up, you won’t feel that it has a clear main line, complete events of all sizes, clear logical cause and effect, as well as sufficient contradictions between characters, and even various internal and external obstacles to the growth of the protagonist—very Suitable for film and television projects.

Therefore, the whole process of drawing the plot was very smooth, and colleagues discussed possible hot spots in the plot while drawing.

Cong Xu kept listening with his ears pricked up.

When talking about a certain piece of content, a colleague said with emotion: "Mr. Xu's choice of the theme is too good. Marriage is really an eternal and unchanging classic on the screen, and it will always be topical."

A few colleagues chatted along——

"But this subject is not popular in online literature, is it? I think Jianhong's recent bestsellers are all mecha science fiction."

"Teacher Xu has never followed the trend in writing books on hot topics."

"That's right, that's why there are so many hot IPs."

After hearing this, Cong Xu flipped through the manuscript: "Stop boasting, let's talk."

The meeting continues.

So in the meeting that lasted more than three hours, Cong Xu finished reading "No Way Back" smoothly.

Sweeping his eyes to the last "End", Cong Xu let out a long breath silently.

Lu Shenfei turned to look at him with silent eyes: Finished?

Cong Xu shrugged, turned his neck, and nodded.

Nodding while thinking, fortunately, the private goods are limited, and there is no reference to any real prototype like "All I Want", let alone writing about him and Lu Shenfei.

At least so far, he hasn't seen much of himself in the heroine's character and plot.

Lu Shenfei finally opened his mouth at the end of this meeting, his tone was not heavy, but firm: "There will be no changes to the character design."

Congxu admitted: "The character has a clear growth arc. There are changes in every event, and there are also shining points of the character, especially in the middle and late stages. There is nothing wrong with the shortcomings of this character design in the early stage."

What's more, since there is growth, the starting point of the character should not be too high. In the early stage of the plot, it is normal to have flaws and bad looks.

I was objected by some colleagues: "But the character design is so bad in the early stage, the supporting role is fine, and the current audience really can't accept the protagonist."

There are more problems: "If the original character design is maintained, many famous actors will not accept it."

"The management will also read the script now. If you don't understand it yourself, you can find someone to read it. Those who have invested money will not let it be filmed like this."

"The censorship of the platform and the TV station will be sad at that time, will it be deleted and re-edited?"

Cong Xu, who had read the full text, was also puzzled after receiving so many practical objections: "What's the problem with the heroine's early stage?"

Cong Xu turned back to the pages of the ppt: "Isn't it just that I don't want anything, go out of the house, and pursue the life I want?"

Colleagues: "..."

Xushen, let me translate it for you: "This is called abandoning husband and son."

Cong Xu raised his eyebrows: "Personal value and the role in marriage, the contradiction, balance, and choice between these two points are things that are discussed in the plot."

"I wrote about such a heroine."

"If it was about a full-time wife, it wouldn't be called "No Way Back"."

Lu Shenfei interrupted: "What's your name?"

Cong Xu opened his mouth and came: ""Buying Vegetables and Cooking", "Ask for Money", "Conflict between Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-Law", "Husband Cheating".

The eyes of the colleagues slid to Lu Shenfei in unison, em... derailed...

Lu Shenfei is as good as others: "I don't."

Cong Xu replied smoothly: "Yes, I know, I didn't mention you."

The colleagues breathed a sigh of relief.

Cong Xu looked at the table, waiting for everyone's feedback.

There are still some colleagues who do not give up changing the personality: "Perhaps we can weaken some of the heroine's early image, or rationalize the heroine's initial divorce, and change it to the fact that she had to abandon her family in the first place."

Cong Xu asked suddenly: "The audience only like to watch heroines with perfect morals?"

Colleague: "I can't say that completely, but the audience's requirements for the protagonist are generally higher."

Cong Xu thought for a while and asked, "Isn't the audience's demand low enough to watch as much as possible?"

In other words, if your filming is good and the content is good-looking, of course the audience will not pick the good ones. If they are not good-looking, the audience will naturally think, you have fed me overnight, at least the packaging should be more beautiful.

Colleagues: "..."

Congxu gave an example: "The recent "All I Want", the plot is not bad, I don't think the audience has pinched the emperor, he obviously only likes one, why he still has a harem and has a concubine."

All the colleagues slid their eyes to Mr. Lu neatly.

Lu Shenfei said: "Look what I am doing? Is it because I have opened a harem, or do you all want quarterly awards?"

Colleagues: ...ha, haha, the weather is really nice today, and Boss Lu is still so handsome.

And it was such a question of whether the personal setting would change or not, until the end of the meeting, there was no definite result.

Cong Xu and Lu Shenfei walked out of the conference room side by side, a little surprised: "I thought you were the boss, you can move if you say you don't want the character set."

Lu Shenfei explained: "I can only make my own company's decision. Outside the company will not follow my ideas, and it is likely to give completely different feedback."

Just like what a few colleagues said just now, they don’t change their personality here, and investors, actors, platforms, and TV station film purchasing departments don’t agree, what should I do?

How to do?

"We can only talk." Lu Shenfei said concisely.

At the same time, a decisive decision was made: "Let's not move on the character set, you will have a few meetings in the next two days, work hard, and the script must be released as soon as possible."

"I'm flying to City B this week, and I will bring the script to meet the TV station and the platform."

"If you can convince them, the actors and investors won't have too many problems."

After all, a film is filmed for broadcasting in the end, and the problem of broadcasting is solved by getting the support of the platform and TV station that bought the film.

With the support of one or two aspects, other aspects are easy to solve.

Cong Xu understood the seriousness of the relationship and nodded: "Okay."

Lu Shenfei was talking, and suddenly said: "Is "No Way Back" also referring to reality?"

Cong Xu paused: "No."

Also, what is "also"?

Also what?

Lu Shenfei began to downplay it again: "That's because I was thinking too much." He explained: "The main reason is that I have been following "What I Want" recently, and many of the plots look familiar."

Once a stranger and second time acquaintance, he couldn't be blocked again and again, so Congxu asked, "Can't write?"

Lu Shenfei: "That's not what I meant."

Cong Xu said calmly: "I wrote everything, and broadcast it after filming, and the manuscript fee and copyright fee are also shared with you." What are you talking about?

Lu Shenfei: "I just think..."

Cong Xu: "?"

Lu Shenfei tilted his head: "The emperor's actor selection is not very good."

Cong Xu wanted to say that he didn't participate in that project, and it wasn't his job to cast the cast.

Lu Shenfei: "The main thing is that he is not as good as me."

Cong Xu: "..."

Mr. Lu, do you want to lose face?

Obviously not.

Lu Shenfei smiled lightly and walked into the office.

Cong Xu stared at the door speechlessly, then continued to move forward, back to his side.

As soon as they sat down, the two screenwriters who participated in the play came. They met at the company before and knew Cong Xu's identity, and they were very polite: "Teacher Xu."

Cong Xu also called their teacher, saying, "It's a bit rushed, Mr. Lu will be there in two days, let's hurry up."

Two days later, the script with the same characters and some additions and deletions came out.

On Friday, Lu Shenfei flew to City B with him.

Cong Xu rushed to catch up on the script in a daze, and stayed up for four days and three nights even the night of writing the extra episode.

On Saturday, he slept until noon at his house in Yanghuwan, only to be woken up by a phone call.

Fei Pengcheng: "Cong Zong! Master Xu!"

Cong Xu rubbed his temples, sat up from the bed, held the phone to his ear: "Yeah."

Fei Pengcheng heard that he had just woken up from the nasal "hmm": "Oh, I'm sorry, I was still thinking that you should wake up now and have lunch."

Congxu didn't wake up angry, he was awake, not to mention that Fei Pengcheng called, it must be because of work.

He asked, "What's wrong?"

Fei Pengcheng: "Get up, pack up, catch the plane, go on a business trip."

Cong Xu: "Where are you going?"

Fei Pengcheng: "City H, Lu Shenfei's plane this morning has already passed."

He explained why he was going: "Isn't it just picking a location? There just happened to be a large factory shed in the film and television city over there, which was specially built by the crew of other dramas when they were filming. Someone went to see it, let you go together and meet the director by the way."

Cong Xu woke up completely, cheered up: "Okay, I see."

The truth is, after staying up for several days in a row, I don't have enough sleep, and I don't have much energy at all.

I still called Yan Nuo to pack the luggage.

Cong Xu held a cup of coffee by himself and stood in the living room to wake up.

Yan Nuo placed the big box on the floor of the living room, walked in and out to pack it up, sorted things one by one, put them in the box, and said nothing idle: "I have to write a special episode for the project, and now I have to go on a business trip, too rushed Alright."

"If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have urged you. It doesn't matter if the book company is a week or two late."

Seeing Cong Xu sip his coffee after another, he asked, "Are you okay?"

Holding the coffee cup, Cong Xu felt that his eyes were a bit dry, so he closed them: "Well, it's okay."

Yan Nuo squatted on the ground and turned to look at him: "Is it okay? There are bloodshot eyes."

He muttered again: "Now it's not as good as when I was rushing to draft, at least I didn't have to rush to get up to take the plane the next day after staying up all night."

Cong Xu put his hands on his back, looking as if he couldn't bear it because he was too old, and sighed: "Yeah, it's better to make money writing manuscripts."

Yan Nuo said, Wuxin: "That's right, copyright is so easy to sell, and you can make money lying down. It's not like they are engaged in film and television, they stay up late for food, and they don't sleep. Starting a project is like driving a tank. They are exchanging their lives for money."

Cong Xu didn't feel anything when he heard it, but his heart skipped a beat, as if it hit a certain point in his feelings, a little sour.

Take your life for...

Cong Xu suddenly thought of Lu Shenfei.

Fly to B Cheng early in the morning on Friday, don't sleep at night, and then fly to City H in the early morning?

what time is it now?

Cong Xu checked the time: it was past twelve noon.

Lu Shenfei went back to the hotel to catch up on sleep?

By coincidence, Cong Xu fumbled for his phone while drinking coffee, without thinking too much, sent a question mark to Lu Shenfei on WeChat.

Congxu:?

Lu Shenfei replied in seconds:?

Congxu:? ? ?

Congxu: You didn't sleep?

Lu Shenfei: I have an appointment to chat with someone, and we are having dinner.

Lu Shenfei: What's wrong?

Cong Xu sipped his coffee, looked at his phone, he was in a good mood, eating and sleeping, if he could guarantee at least one, his life would be saved.

Lu Shenfei: By the way, I will ask my assistant to pick you up in the afternoon, so you go to have a look at the scenery first.

Congxu: Are you not going?

Lu Shenfei: I have something to do, it shouldn't be over in the afternoon, and there will be a drinking party in the evening.I will go again tomorrow.

From Xu Fu to the soul, I suddenly thought of something, and asked: Are you drinking right now?

Lu Shenfei: Almost.

Cong Xu was taken aback. After working for two days and one night, he had to drink twice in a row?

This is not a life-changing, this is already on the way to die, right?

Cong Xu was speechless, originally wanted to say Mr. Lu, take it easy, your life matters.

Thinking about this is too cool, delete it, and type it again.

Cong Xu: Drink less.

Cong Xu: I will arrive in the afternoon.

Lu Shenfei: Okay, I’ll listen to you.

Cong Xu looked at the last four words, the subway old man frowned and looked at his phone.jpg

Drunk?Is this tone not quite right?

As a result, a message immediately popped up to withdraw the reminder, "Okay, I'll listen to you" is gone.

Lu Shenfei: Yes.

Congxu: ...

How should I put it, only "hmm" doesn't feel good, I say "I listen to you" and then replace it with a cold "hmm", just...

dislike; despise.

Cong Xu tried to hold his respect forcefully, fiercely: um, um, um, listen to me!
