Chapter 3 Surprise
Cheng Long is not very interested in disaster movies, but in order to fulfill his promise, he still watched it patiently.

The protagonist is an agent. He loves his daughter deeply, but it is difficult to provide her with daily fatherly love due to work reasons. The disappointed wife takes her daughter to remarry someone else.

In order to make up for what he owed to his daughter, he chose to retire early. Because of work, he had seen too much darkness, so he was afraid that her daughter would be hurt. He tried his best to protect her daughter, but it also brought various constraints to her, which eventually caused a relationship between father and daughter. contradiction.

At his daughter's birthday party, the gift he carefully prepared was easily compared to the expensive horses given by his daughter's stepfather. Seeing his daughter jumping at her stepfather with excitement and screams, the protagonist couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

An old friend came to see the protagonist, and persuaded the protagonist to take on a private job, protecting a female celebrity to and from the concert, three hours, and the reward was generous, so he agreed.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong at the concert. The protagonist led the female star to go through the side door first, and the other partners were in charge of covering.There is a dagger behind the corner in the darkness flashing a dazzling cold light. When the protagonist protects the female star and walks to the corner, the cold dagger stabs out suddenly.

"bang bang bang"

The protagonist swings the dagger with the first punch, the second punch hits the attacker's head, the third punch breaks the attacker's arm, and then twists hard, the attacker is held down by the head.

"Come on!"

The companion arrived in time to take over and suppress the assailant, the protagonist protected the female star and continued to escape from the scene, the other partners parked the car in front of the two with a beautiful drift, and the protagonist escorted the female celebrity into the car in time.

After being out of danger, the female star was so frightened that she crawled into the protagonist's arms and cried non-stop.

Seeing this, Cheng Long stopped. At this moment, he had already seen that this was not a disaster movie, but an action movie. There was a high probability that his daughter was about to have an accident, and then the protagonist set off a hurricane to rescue her daughter.

The plot is not complicated, but the atmosphere is rendered very well, especially in the scene when the protagonist flees with the female star, several agents have a clear division of labor and cooperate with each other tacitly.The protagonist is responsible for taking the beautiful star away, and the others are responsible for covering, driving, and cooperating. The protagonist cleanly eliminates the attacker, but he does not care about fighting at all. Instead, he quickly hands the attacker to his partner, and continues to escape with the female star.

When Cheng Long reads the script of an action movie, he will instinctively think about how to fight well. Over time, now that he sees the script with a simple description, he can automatically imagine a fighting process in his mind.

And the description of this script made him feel very enjoyable.

"Very mature script."

Cheng Long couldn't help but commented in his heart.

At this time, Cheng Long was already interested, and he continued to look down.

The protagonist’s daughter liked to sing since she was a child. In order to thank the protagonist for saving her life, the female star promised to teach the protagonist’s daughter to sing. The protagonist told her the good news. Unexpectedly, what excited her daughter even more was that she would go to France with her best friend up.

The protagonist knows how dangerous the outside world is, so he firmly disagrees with his daughter going abroad alone as a minor. In the end, the conflict between father and daughter intensifies, but the protagonist can only compromise and agree.

As a result, the protagonist's daughter didn't only go to France, but went to Spain without authorization. When the protagonist was talking with her daughter, a group of people broke into the hotel and robbed her daughter's best friend.

"Oh my God, they captured Li Man."

"Dad, they took her!" The daughter suddenly cried on the phone.

"you listen to me……"

The daughter is in danger, and the protagonist quickly takes out the toolbox while comforting her daughter.

"Did you meet anyone on the plane?"

"No."

"What about the airport?"

"No—no, Pete."

"Peter? Who's Pete?"

"I do not know."

"Does he know your address?"

"He was in a taxi with us."

The protagonist quickly took out various devices while asking, and quickly connected the mobile phone to the device.

"Dad, here they come."

"Listen to Kimmy, focus and don't get distracted, how many of them are there?"

"Three...four...I'm not sure."

"Where are you?"

"I'm in the next bathroom."

"Go to the next bedroom, lie under the bed, hide it and tell me."

"Dad, I hid it."

"Listen, Kimmy, this is very important - you're going to get caught by them - Kimmy, focus, this is very important, throw your phone on the floor, you have five seconds, or ten seconds, time is running out , concentrate, and say what you see, hair color, eyes, height, scars, etc., everything you see, do you hear me?"

Footsteps sounded.

"They're coming, I can hear them, remember them, pay attention."

The visitor spoke a bunch of foreign languages, and then exited the room.

"Dad, I think they might be... Dad... big beard, 1.8 meters, tattoo of the moon and stars on his right hand."

The daughter's screaming gradually disappeared, the room fell silent, and the protagonist slowly picked up the phone.

"I don't know who you are or what you want, but I can tell you that I have some tricks that I've learned over a long career, and that's a nightmare for people like you .If you let my daughter go, then this is over, I will not go after you, I will not go after you, but if you don't stop here, I will find you - I will find you, Then kill you."

A man's voice came from the phone.

"Good luck."

……

After reading the script, Cheng Long immediately called director Tang Jili and asked him to come to his room immediately.

"It's so late, what's the matter?"

Tang Jili asked as soon as he entered the door.

Cheng Long handed him the script in his hand and said, "Look at this first."

The two came to the sofa and sat down. Cheng Long poured Tang Jili a cup of tea, and Tang Jili looked through the script suspiciously.

"Taken, a disaster movie? Where did the script come from?"

"Li Yuansheng, deputy curator of the museum, asked me to help his children read the script. The strong dragon does not overwhelm the snake, so I can't refuse. This is an action movie script, you should read it first."

Tang Jili was a little puzzled. Curator Li asked Cheng Long to read the script. Cheng Long would just read it by himself and comment on it tomorrow. Why did he call him here because of this matter?
However, since Cheng Long specially asked him to come here, it meant that the script was very important, so he read it patiently.

The beginning is quite satisfactory, setting the image of a man experiencing a mid-life crisis. This setting is very common and classic, as is the case with the "Die Hard" series starring Bruce Willis.

The protagonist of that play also had a tense relationship with his wife and children because of work.

However, it can also be seen from the side that the script is very neat and organized.

He continued to watch.

The calmness when the daughter was caught, the professionalism when tracking down the whereabouts of the daughter, the ruthlessness when entering the enemy's nest, the cold-blooded cruelty when interrogating the captives, the decisiveness when shooting at the fallen friend's wife, the enemy put the knife on the daughter's neck, The main character shoots without hesitation.

Tang Jili quickly read the plot, and he handed the script to Cheng Long.

"You want to buy the script?"

Cheng Long nodded.

"I want to act in person, and I will start this project after "Mythology" is finished."

Tang Jili nodded.

"This script is very good. You can buy it. This book is very suitable for you."

Cheng Long asked, "How much money is appropriate?"

Tang Jili said: "The market for scripts of this level ranges from 30 to [-]."

Cheng Long nodded: "Let's say 30 yuan. The smooth filming of the "Mythology" project is inseparable from the full support of Director Li."

Tang Jili nodded: "I think it will work."
