Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1844 The Primary School Student Without Homework
The reason why "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is popular is not only because the author is Lin Daoqiu, but also has something to do with the atmosphere of Xiangjiang at this time.

There are many superstitious people who worship gods in Xiangjiang, and the mysterious and unknown events in the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" can easily arouse everyone's curiosity.

There is also the theme of tomb robbery that rarely appears in general film and television works. Combining these together, it is no wonder that the popularity of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in Xiangjiang will increase day by day.

Lin Zhengying, Zhong Fa and others who stayed in the Mainland for a month made a thorough investigation in western Hunan.

Although there are local people to accompany them, the living standard in Xiangxi in this era is still very low, especially in a more barren area in the mountains.

It can be said that Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa's investigation this time was not without hardships, but fortunately, they have survived since they were young, so they can barely bear it.

After leaving Xiangxi and returning to Xiangjiang, Lin Zhengying handed over the materials she had sorted out to Lin Daoqiu.

"Thank you for your hard work. After staying this month, I can see that you have lost a lot of weight."

Originally, Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa's bodies were not considered strong, but when they came back from a trip to Xiangxi, they seemed to have shrunk in a circle.

"The spicy food over there is very spicy, we really can't stand it."

There are not many people in Xiangjiang who can eat spicy food, while Xiangxi is a place where spicy food is popular, and it is still that kind of dry spicy food.

For people who don't like spicy food, it's really painful to live there for a while, because there are almost no dishes that are not spicy.

Fortunately, Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa only stayed for a month. If they stayed longer, they would probably have to transport food from Xiangjiang to eat, or cook for themselves.

"Go back to Xiangjiang and take a good rest for a while. I will take good care of the materials you collected, and I won't let you suffer for nothing during this time."

It will take some time to reintegrate these materials into the script of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

And in addition to building the underground palace in the magic studio, Lin Daoqiu also had to build the exterior scenes required for "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" at the Fushandao studio and the New Oriental studio.

This time, Lin Daoqiu planned to build while filming, trying to complete the filming of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" within one year.

In addition to Lin Daoqiu, Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui, and Huang Bingyao joined the screenwriting team of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

It stands to reason that Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui are not good at film and television works with the theme of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but Lin Daoqiu still brought them along, the purpose is to teach them how to write this type of script.

Zheng Danrui is okay, he has a kind personality and is willing to learn. When he heard that Lin Daoqiu included him and Wen Jun in the writing team, Zheng Danrui was still very nervous at first, for fear that he would not be able to do what Lin Daoqiu told him well. .

But on the other hand, Wen Juan looked very relaxed. Seeing his expression as a matter of course, those who didn't know thought he was very good at writing this kind of subject matter.

"This is the data collected by Uncle Jiu and Zhong Fa when they went to Xiangxi. Brother Qiu asked us to study it carefully and see how to integrate the contents of these materials into the script of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"."

After Zheng Danrui got the information, he immediately came to discuss with Wen Jun.

But after Wen Jun picked up the document and looked at it for a while, he put it back on the table.

"The script of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has been basically completed. If you add something to it at this time, it will be tantamount to re-editing, and you still need to make major revisions. I don't think Brother Qiu will do this."

From Wen Jun's point of view, Lin Daoqiu probably wouldn't spend so much time adding something to the already written script.

I am afraid that the original succession and transformation will have to be paved again. This is a big project.

"You don't think Brother Qiu sent Uncle Jiu and Zhong Fa to Xiangxi to collect folk songs, just to make fun of them."

Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun thought completely differently. Although he hadn't seriously read the materials brought back by Lin Zhengying and the others, he felt that Lin Daoqiu would definitely not do what Wen Jun said, and he would definitely take this material seriously.

"Who knows, anyway, the things in it are actually not very exciting. I just read it briefly. Although some folklore is interesting, it doesn't matter whether it is added to the script or not."

Zheng Danrui looked at Wen Jun suspiciously, and Lin Daoqiu handed them these materials and asked them to write some interesting plots based on these materials.

Now that what Wen Jun said was not to disobey the task Lin Daoqiu entrusted to them, this is not a joke.

"Ah Jun, you'd better read through these materials honestly, and then write something according to what brother Qiu said, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to eat and walk around."

Lin Daoqiu's anger was basically only seen by the two of them. Under normal circumstances, Lin Daoqiu would hardly get angry with outsiders, but the two of them were exceptions.

Wen Jun smiled and shook his hand, it seemed that he didn't pay attention to what Zheng Danrui said.

"I assure you, even if we write some plots based on what's in it, Brother Qiu won't be able to use them. If we're exhausted, we'll only use a small part..."

"And Huang Bingyao also received this material, so let him take care of it. We only need to understand the original script of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" thoroughly, so that we can live up to Brother Qiu's intention of arranging us to be screenwriters this time."

Wen Jun guessed Lin Daoqiu's intention of arranging them to join the group, and he was completely unaware of it.

The reason why Lin Daoqiu asked them to read this material, and then write some plots based on the material, is also to cultivate their experience in writing this kind of subject matter.

But Wen Jun misunderstood that Lin Daoqiu did this just to amuse them, and he didn't really want to adopt what they wrote. It can only be said that his cleverness was used in the wrong place this time.

Wen Jun's words didn't convince Zheng Danrui, but since Wen Jun didn't want to write about Zheng Danrui, he wouldn't force him, but took the materials home and studied them carefully.

A week later, Lin Daoqiu called the screenwriters of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to New Oriental.

He sent Lin Zhengying and Zhong Facaifeng's integrated materials to them a week ago, and today he called them here not only to discuss the script of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but also to see what they wrote based on these materials.

"A week ago, I gave you all the materials about Uncle Jiu and Ah Fa's trip to Xiangxi to collect folk songs. Today I brought you here not only to discuss the script of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but also to hear your opinions on these materials."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Huang Bingyao and Zheng Danrui had calm expressions on their faces, but Wen Jun's expression was obviously very different from theirs.

It looked like he was a student without homework.

Wen Juan thought to himself that this time, he really was going to run out of food.
