When the director became popular in the entertainment industry

In fact, at the beginning, Fu Chaomin never thought that Bai Congzhen would refuse.

From investment to the present, where has he been in the entertainment industry, is it because others are holding him up and wanting him to leak some money from his fingers so that he can use it to make dramas, or get better resources?

So when he heard that Bai Congzhen refused, Fu Chaomin was surprised.

But he thought, the young people who have just made achievements and are praised by others are a little bit normal, and most of the directors are also stubborn.Besides, the several investors they knew each other were very optimistic about the benefits that Bai Congzhen could bring, and it was impossible to give up easily.

It just so happened that he was the first to throw an olive branch to the other party, so it's okay to come in person to show his sincerity.When he saw someone else, he didn't believe that Bai Congzhen was still so stubborn.

But he was wrong, Bai Congzhen was the first one who dared to put his face down like this.

"Let's go."

Fu Chaomin got up and left the box.

Since those who break the rules are unwilling to cooperate, we can only kill those who break the rules and repair them again.

Why Fu Chaomin, who was still angry just now, suddenly became calm and calm, Su Li couldn't figure it out and didn't dare to ask, so he could only follow and leave quickly.

Returning to the set before dark, Bai Congzhen first went to report to Liu Daobao that he was safe.

"You just left?"

Listening to Bai Congzhen's narration, Liu Muyang, who had no expression at first, suddenly widened his eyes.

"My ideas are contrary to his, and we can't talk together at all. If we don't leave, I'm afraid it will develop into passionate scolding." Bai Congzhen comforted him: "I was very polite before I left."

Liu Muyang gritted his teeth: "Is this a polite thing?"

To save Fu Chaomin's face, being polite is useless.How generous are investors?The small-minded ones couldn't even pass a grain of rice.Even if Bai Cong really has a family background and is not afraid of the other party's revenge, what about in the entertainment circle?Investors like Fu Chaomin who hold multiple entertainment companies can be said to be covering the sky with one hand.

Mingming Congzhen has a good personality, humble and polite, why is he so inflexible in the world.

Sighing, Liu Muyang was full of words and didn't know where to start.Bai Congzhen is stubborn in his pursuit of filming, and no one can change it.

Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, he can only tell him to take care: "You have to be careful, Fu Chaomin will not let it go."

"I know Director Liu, I will be careful." Bai Congzhen was very optimistic, "There is also Yunzhen Entertainment. He can do whatever he wants, and Yunzhen is not just a display."

"Although you know Sun Tonghui, Yun Zhen has always supported you, but there are always contingencies." Liu Muyang said disapprovingly: "Sun Tonghui is still a businessman after all, and when the pressure is too great, he will choose whatever he chooses after weighing. It’s unknown. Don’t blindly put your hopes on Yun Zhen.”

"Well..." Bai Congzhen glanced at Liu Muyang, and told the truth in order not to worry him.

He blinked, with an innocent expression on his face: "Actually, Sun Tonghui can only be regarded as a part-time worker. And I am his half-boss."

Bai Congzhen didn't intend to confess everything in one go, but to give Liu Director some time to react.

Liu Muyang: "..."

He stared at Bai Congzhen, and Liu Muyang, who was speechless for a long time, finally managed to say "You won".

If this is the case, then it makes sense why Bai Congzhen has been so smooth since entering the circle, and it makes sense to make certain things public regardless of the consequences.

The co-author is also a "capital".

The diligent "worker" Liu Muyang let out a suffocating breath, and barely calmed down: "Fu Chaomin and the investor of my film know each other. You probably won't be able to stay here for a few days."

Bai Cong was really cheerful, without any sense of crisis, "If it's what you always say, I'll say goodbye to you in advance. I haven't learned half of it yet, what a shame."

Liu Muyang rolled his eyes at him, "The communication is so advanced, if you don't understand anything, just ask me."

After knowing that Bai Congzhen's background is not simple, Liu Muyang also let go of his worries a little bit.Cooperating with his poor mouth, he returned to the relaxed state before.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and Liu Muyang's words became a prophecy.Two days later, Bai Congzhen received a notice to leave the group from the investor himself.

Liu Muyang, who was the only one who knew, said goodbye to Bai Congzhen to the actors and staff in the group, and watched him get on the bus to leave, with mixed emotions in his heart.

After returning to Beijing, Bai Congzhen went home to put his luggage, and then rushed to the studio without stopping.

After lightly reporting the "harvest" in Xinshi to Su Yaya, Bai Congzhen sat in the chair very calmly, but Su Yaya almost had a heart attack.

"Director, can you give an advance notice of such a major event?" Su Yaya looked at Bai Congzhen with sincere eyes.

In the past, it was just a feud with a certain actor, but now it's all right, and it's directly a feud with the investors at the top.As a former manager and current assistant, Su Yaya felt that this "big scene" might be the most unforgettable one in her career.

"I just said it in advance." Bai Congzhen was very sincere: "I came back from Xinshi and came to report to you as soon as I got off the plane."

The opponent's purpose is obvious, which is to make him unable to stay in the circle.Using contacts to force him to leave the group is only the first step. Although he is not sure about the process, it is not an aboveboard method.

Although he was not afraid, he always had to inform Su Yaya to let her pay attention to the latest developments in the circle, so that he could respond and clarify in time.Dirty water can also be poured back when necessary.

"I mean you can go earlier." Su Yaya complained, not wanting to talk to Bai Congzhen.Changed the subject: "I will pay attention to the situation online and offline, and report in time if there is something to do. How about you, the director, continue to rest during this period?"

Like Bai Congzhen, Su Yaya, who knew his background, had no fear.

"What rest? I call it recharging." Bai Congzhen stretched his waist and stood up, "I haven't even chosen the script yet, so I can't rush to work just because I'm fighting with Fu Chaomin. Please, Ya My sister is staring at it, and I will continue to choose scripts during this time."

After speaking, Bai Congzhen left the studio.

But unexpectedly, the next half month was uneventful.Su Yaya and the staff of the studio waited in shifts all day long to wait for the network dynamics and various news in the circle, but they didn't see any signs of anyone trying to slander Bai Congzhen.

Things started to get weird.

The insiders were puzzled, but they didn't dare to relax, for fear that the other party would make a surprise attack and they would be caught off guard.

And these days, Bai Congzhen is staying at home as a family, trying to avoid going out.It's not that he is afraid of accidents, but that he has started to use sunscreen and whitening.I even asked Su Yaya's opinion and bought a lot of facial masks.

you ask why?

Of course, it was because after returning from Xinshi, which was full of desert sun, Bai Congzhen went dark for a while.

When he was tanned, he also felt that men, black and white are not important, and a little darker looks better and tastes better.But when he got home, he stood next to Lou He'an, acting like a black and white match.

Lou He'an is of mixed blood, his skin is fair, and a slightly darker person standing next to him is very miserable.Not to mention Bai Congzhen after tanning, when holding hands, the skin color contrast is obvious to the naked eye.

Although Lou He'an liked his new skin color as always, but Bai Congzhen looked at it for himself and felt that it was not beautiful at all.

So he made up his mind to come back in vain.

It just so happened that he didn't have anything to go out recently, so he just stayed at home and screened the script.So began his whitening plan.

Lou Hean didn't comment on this, and watched Bai Congzhen's tossing silently, and sometimes even thoughtfully sponsored two masks that Yan Yu said had a good whitening effect.

Bai Congzhen was very moved, and then asked Lou Hean to apply a sheet before going to bed together.

It's not white or white, at least his face is much smoother and more delicate, soft and slippery to the touch, he himself can't put it down and often can't help but want to touch it.

On this day, Bai Cong was really playing games in front of the TV.

After hearing the ringtone of the mobile phone, he quickly answered the phone and pressed the loudspeaker, staring at the screen and continuing to fight with his fingers on the handle.

"Sister Ya? Did something happen?"

Hearing the background sound from the phone, Su Yaya was silent for two seconds, then denied, "No. But someone is looking for you."

"Who?"

"A screenwriter who came to the door with a script. Director, if you have nothing to do, come here."

"Okay, right now."

While talking, Bai Congzhen directly paused and exited, turned off the TV, picked up his mobile phone, changed his clothes, and drove out.It's about work, games and nothing else.

As soon as he arrived at the studio, Bai Congzhen was stopped by Su Yaya and reminded him a few words.He nodded, walked to the reception room and opened the door to enter.

On the light-colored sofa, a girl in short sleeves and ponytail was sitting there with her head bowed.

Bai Congzhen adjusted his expression, and sat opposite her with a friendly smile on his lips: "Sorry, I'm late."

"No, no." The girl hurriedly waved her hands back to her senses, and said with some embarrassment, "I came to the door suddenly and disturbed you. Follow me."

"No bother. I just don't know what your name is yet?"

"Ah, my name is Ying Yirou. Sorry for the director, I forgot to introduce myself."

"Don't be nervous." Bai Congzhen has already guessed that Ying Yirou is not good at dealing with people. He is not angry or feels that he has a bad impression.

Still the same sentence: writers, most of them are social terror.

"Since you came to the door with the script, let's start talking about the script." Bai Congzhen said gently.

In terms of one's own major, the other party should be more relaxed.

Ying Yirou nodded, and pushed the script on the coffee table towards Bai Congzhen.She withdrew her hands and rubbed the hem of her clothes, lowered her head slightly and said, "Director, this is the complete script."

Bai Congzhen picked up the script and saw the two big characters "Being a Minister" on the title page, and already had a rough guess about the theme of the script.Looking at the thickness of the script, this should be a TV series.

He opened the script and read roughly ten lines at a glance.During this period, he frowned tightly, and his expression looked a little serious.

After he finally read it and closed the script.Looking at the girl opposite who still dare not look him in the eyes and speak, I feel a little helpless.

"Can you talk about the inspiration and background of this script? I want to know a little bit about these."

"Yes." Ying Yirou quickly looked up at Bai Congzhen, bit her lip, and said in a stuttering manner.

"I'm a screenwriter. I occasionally wrote something when I was in school, and my friends around me responded well, so I thought I could write a TV drama script and submit it. Because I have always liked reading ancient novels, I especially like the plots of silent fighting and fighting in the conspiracy and tricks in the court, so I decided to write."

"I came because I heard that the director respects the script very much, so I wanted to try my luck."

"That's it." Bai Congzhen nodded, "Then can you talk about the emotional line in the play, what is the meaning of being together?"

"Emotional line..." Ying Yirou repeated it, and asked cautiously: "Is the emotional line still meaningful? The male and female protagonists are attracted to each other, and then they are together."

Bai Congzhen put away his smile: "In that case, then I'll just tell Miss Ying."

"Well, you said."

"In my opinion, although the plot of this drama is incoherent and immature in some places, it is still very exciting overall. The only thing that is stretched is the emotional line in it."

"The emotional line in it not only did not add color to the plot, but dragged down the plot and made it eclipsed. It would be fine if the emotional line and the plot line did not match, but with all due respect, this emotional line has reached the point where the protagonist It's unreal, and a little greasy."

"Really?" Ying Yirou clenched her hands, looking at Bai Congzhen with slightly red eyes.The emotions inside made him a little unclear for a while.

When Bai Congzhen spoke, he implied apology: "I'm sorry, maybe I'm a bit blunt. But in my opinion, that's the truth. If the emotional line is removed, this drama will be very brilliant."

Ying Yirou shook her head violently and looked down at the floor, "Actually, I don't know how to write emotional lines. Someone said that scripts with emotional lines are easier for people to like, so I added it. Because, I Would love to sell the script."

Sighing, Bai Congzhen put the script on the tea table and said, "If I were to shoot, I would delete all the emotional scenes in it and make it into a conspiracy drama with only the male protagonist. If you do this, can you do you accept?"

"You mean, are you willing to buy my script?" Ying Yirou was a little excited, "I am willing, and you can change it as you like."

"I may also ask another screenwriter to revise together. Of course, there will definitely be your place in the middle. If you are willing to join the group, you can also come to learn."

In his opinion, Ying Yirou's skills are immature. If he is to take full responsibility for the adaptation of the entire script, it will be very difficult to meet his requirements, so Bai Congzhen will hire another professional screenwriter.

It's just that these have to be clarified before signing the contract. After all, the screenwriter treats his own script like a child, and will not hand it over easily.

However, Ying Yirou rejected both proposals.

"Director, I believe in your ability. However, I may not be able to participate." Ying Yirou wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, "My parents had a car accident, and now only my mother is lying in the hospital. So I I have to take a break from school to go home to take care of her, and the reason to sell the script is because I want to try my luck."

"If I can sell it, I will be very happy to get the money. Even if I can't sell it, I have at least tried it so that I will not regret it for four years in college."

"I really appreciate you, Director Cong. Thank you for your willingness to buy my script." Ying Yirou wiped away tears and looked at Bai Congzhen with gratitude: "I also believe in Director Cong's ability, you will definitely Make this script better. So it doesn't matter if I'm there or not."

Bai Congzhen was stunned for a moment.Facing Ying Yirou's experience, he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say "Thank you for your trust."

When signing the contract, Bai Congzhen discussed with Su Yaya and signed the contract with 10% higher than the market price.

When talking about the script just now, Ying Yirou didn't use her experience to gain sympathy, so Bai Congzhen didn't mind helping this introverted and socially fearful little girl. Although 10% is not much, the total amount of money is almost catching up with those high-quality scripts.

It can be regarded as a little bit of his heart.

Watching Ying Yirou go out, Su Yaya teased Bai Congzhen: "I never thought our director would be so kind."

"Help if you can." Bai Congzhen shrugged, "It's just so kind, there's nothing I can do."

With a muffled laugh, Su Yaya asked again: "From your description just now, the problem with the script seems to be quite serious. Which screenwriter do you want to hire to change it? It's still the same, and the script is finalized and then prepared?"

"Teacher Tong is working on a new script recently, and has already retreated. Brother Yuan is writing a novel, and I don't want to bother..." After eliminating one by one, only my cousin was left, "Mr. Do me a favor, I'm too embarrassed to trouble him."

"For preparations, there's no rush. I'll discuss with the screenwriter first how long it will take to revise the script. Anyway, there is plenty of time."

Looking at the time, Bai Congzhen nodded, "My cousin should get up by now. Sister Ya, I'm leaving."

Taking the script, Bai escaped from the true speed of light.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Guan Jingzhou had just woken up.

Opening the door let Bai Congzhen come in, he yawned and went to the kitchen to get a bottle of water and nestled on the sofa.

"Work?"

"Smart." Bai Congzhen took the script into Guan Jingzhou's suspicion, and sat on the sofa casually, "I received a new script, the emotional line is stretched but the plot line is good, I want to ask you to change it."

Guan Jingzhou didn't speak, and opened the script to read quickly.

After a while, after reading a few pages, he was full of doubts: "This is really written by one person? How can the plot line and the emotional line be so different."

"The screenwriter is not good at writing emotional lines, this was added later."

This explanation is quite reasonable, Guan Jingzhou closed the script, "It's okay just looking at the plot line, there are quite a lot of highlights. If you have any requirements, please tell me."

Bai Congzhen smiled "hehe" and showed a mouthful of white teeth, "It's not very demanding, just change him into a costume drama without CP. The plot line doesn't need to be changed, just change the abrupt places and sort out the plot rhythm. Yes Isn't it very simple?"

Guan Jingzhou glanced at him, "It's okay."

With this tone, nothing good will happen later.

Sure enough, he heard Bai Congzhen say: "Then, I'll give you three days to revise."

"roll!"

Guan Jingzhou threw a pillow over him.

The nearly forty episodes of the script took him three days to complete.Even if there is a big framework and a plot, but the strategy is very complex, and the thinking is cumbersome and troublesome.Three days, when he was Superman?

Three days is impossible for three days. Finally, after talking about five days, Guan Jingzhou let go of his agreement.

With the script in hand, Bai Congzhen, who has been touching fish for several months, finally started to get busy.It was the first time to shoot a costume drama that required venues and props, so he had to do a lot of preparations.

I asked Li Jinyu to make a detailed calculation and list all the things that will be used.Bai Congzhen asked Xu Qingsong to search the information separately, looking for the best prop team and staff that could be arranged within the budget.

After four or five days of busy work, Guan Jingzhou finally stayed up all night to finish the script and sent it to the radio and television for review and approval.They're only two-thirds ready.

At this time, Bai Congzhen received a call from Su Yaya.

Su Yaya's tone on the phone was heavy and anxious: "Director, something has happened! Come to the studio quickly."

His heart sank, Bai Congzhen pulled Xu Qingsong into the car and rushed to the studio.On the way, he turned on the loudspeaker and listened to Su Yaya explain the ins and outs of the matter together with Xu Qingsong.

When Bai Congzhen rushed to the studio, he saw Su Li, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, sitting on the sofa with another middle-aged man, drinking tea with a calm expression.

Su Yaya greeted him and stood beside Bai Congzhen.

Su Li turned around when he heard the voice, stood up with a smile and said hello, "Master, it's been a long time."

With a cold face, Bai Cong walked across to the two and sat down without saying a word, staring at the middle-aged man next to Su Li.

Su Li, who did not wait for an answer, was not annoyed. After sitting down, seeing Bai Congzhen staring at the people around him, he introduced: "Director, this is Teacher Qiao Shuqiao. He is from the Department of Drama, Film, Film and Literature of Qing University." Teacher, and also a screenwriter."

"Hello, director." Qiao Shu pushed his glasses and nodded slightly.

Xu Qingsonghe sat aside, with a fierce expression on his face, he didn't answer at all.

The two sides confronted each other, and there was silence in the reception room.

Bai Congzhen laughed suddenly, and the laughter was very clear in the room: "Mr. Qiao. When I came here, I heard from Sister Ya that your students stole your script and sold the copyright as their own contribution, and then took the money Dropout disappeared?"

"To be precise, she copied my script. She is my most proud student, so I usually take her to sort out the script framework and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of film and television dramas on the market. But I didn't expect it, hey."

Qiao Shu sighed, with an expression of remorse that was just right: "I didn't expect that she would take the opportunity to take a picture of my outline with her mobile phone for her own use. If I hadn't accidentally checked the record information of the latest TV series, I wouldn't have discovered that my script had been plagiarized. "

"Director, I know you were also deceived. As long as you agree to seal up the script you received and never shoot it, and tell me Ying Yirou's whereabouts, I will never hold you accountable."

Bai Congzhen looked at the smiling Su Li and the fake and magnanimous Qiao Shu on the opposite side, and the disgust in his heart was about to overflow.

Now there is nothing he doesn't understand.

It turned out that Fu Chaomin hadn't done anything in the past half month, but was planning a big move.

If he agrees to Qiao Shu's request, then he will spend money to suffer from being dumb, and there may not be anything waiting for him in the future.If he disagrees, then he will be infamous for making plagiarized dramas from then on.

Now there is no need to investigate the truth and rationality of Qiao Shu's mouth, even Ying Yirou may be a part of it.

What is shy and introverted, not good at communicating with people, afraid to raise his head to speak because of a guilty conscience and fear that he will see through.

From beginning to end, this was a game specially set up for him.
